Starting point is 00:00:01 War with Iran. Reportedly around a third of the U.S. Navy is being deployed to the region. Donald Trump has called in the UK not to give some land back because it seems like we're to be using that for war, perhaps. And I'm going to say it like this. You know, we're decently connected here at Timcast, IRL. And the message is that I'm hearing behind the scenes, nothing definitive, but it's very much like, yeah, the war is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:00:28 And so, again, could be wrong because there's Beltway. butt down here in the D.C. area. But it's sounding very much like we are about to go to war with Iran. You've got numerous corporate news outlets saying Donald Trump is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, but he has not made a final call. There's alleged leaks happening on 4chan, probably fake because it's the internet, but they're saying the plan is for a joint U.S.-Israeli strike taking out all of their top leadership. And my speculation on this is it may be a Saip. Indeed. The posturing in the media and these leaked state alleged leak statements may be just to terrify Iran into cutting a deal saying, hey, look, everybody's saying Trump's going to do it. It's leaking.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Uh-oh, here it comes. And then maybe they cave and surrender before we actually have to go to war. But based on the deployments that we are seeing with refueling tankers, troops getting called in and they're pulling troops out of Syria, looks like Trump means business. And so this is a going to be absolutely massive. Aside from that, we got massive news. The Save Act has reached 50 votes in the Senate. They got the votes. Only if they get rid of the filibuster. And as you all know, they won't. So it's funny because the Save Act, which would massively aid and benefit this country and literally everyone agrees with from Democrat, independent Republican, for some reason, they still won't pass it. Your guess is as good as mine. And our guesses are probably spot on
Starting point is 00:01:57 because, you know, Democrats probably just want people to be able to vote without proving who they are. More importantly, to ballot harvest universal mail-in votes. We're going to talk about that and a whole lot more before we do, my friends. We got a great sponsor. It is Beam Dream. Check out shop, B-E-A-M dot com slash Tim Pool to get to 35% off your nighttime sleep blend to support better sleep. I absolutely love the stuff. I drink it every single night.
Starting point is 00:02:24 They got a bunch of different flavors. I got cinnamon, cocoa, sea salt, caramel, brownie. batter. I'm a big fan of the cinnamon cocoa. It's my favorite, but I've been drinking the sea salt caramel one. It's got magnesium. It's got althini. It's got rashi. It's got melatonin. I drink it before bed. It's a hot, it's a cup of hot cocoa. It's caramel. I guess hot caramel. And it's about 15 calories. No added sugar. No joke. I do drink it every night before bed. And it is absolutely amazing. My sleep has dramatically improved. I've actually been getting such good sleep. My sleep has started to reduce it. Like, no joke. I was sleeping for like seven and a half hours.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Now I'm just naturally waking up a little earlier, and my sleep score is still maxed out. This stuff is great. And if you're a guy, it's important because your testosterone and HGH are produced in the body during REM and deep sleep. So if you're sleeping poorly, it's negatively impacting your weight, your energy, your mood. So I'm a big fan. Check out shop, B-E-A-M.com slash Timpool.

Every Friday, I'm on Rising at the Hill, and I'm also on State of the Day on Substack. Right on. What is going on Patriots? This is Tate Brown here holding it down. I'm
Starting point is 00:04:50 super excited. I'm excited to be on with you, Amber, because I think we've exchanged some hot takes over the past couple months on my show, which you can watch at noon live on Timcast Rumble Channel, and I'm excited to get into everything, Phil. Let me strip this from Phil. It's my turn. Hi, Phil. Good. I want to shout out the Discord. If you haven't been over there, we do the Discord pre-show where we get in there and get interviewed by the cast. Well, it's like the cast of the pre-show. It's very cool. So come join the early shows at Discord 6.30 p.m. in the Timcast Discord. I'm at Ian Crossland. If you don't no, Philibonte.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Hello everybody. My name is Philibonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Carter? What's up, everyone? Carter here, still mastering the stream deck and everything here. But holding it down as well. Let's get into this. I also have big news. We, for no reason, have ready to laugh track. Because not that anyone needs to know when to laugh, but it actually is funny to play it in inappropriate times. So, like, we'll save it for the uncensored portion. of the show most likely.
Starting point is 00:05:52 But anywhere that needs a little levity, we're going to make weird noises. I'm actually half kidding. I don't even know why we have it, but maybe it'll be funny. All right, let's jump into the story from CNN. U.S. military prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend,
Starting point is 00:06:06 but Trump has yet to make a final call, sources say, CNN reporting, the U.S. military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend. The White House has been brief. The military could be ready for an attack by the weekend after a significant buildup
Starting point is 00:06:18 in recent days of air and naval assets in the Middle East. the source has said. But one source caution that Trump has privately argued before and against military action and pulled advisors and allies on what the best course of action is, it was not clear if he would make a decision by this weekend. He is spending a lot of time thinking about this. So I'm hearing from Beltway scuttlebutt, people who work in D.C., you know, we had a lot of friends there, Trump's ready to push the button. And Trump wants to push the button. It doesn't mean he will push the button. But I'm hearing that he very much is ready to just do it. He wants to do it. And I
Starting point is 00:06:51 think he's actually being held back. I think there are some advisors that are basically saying, just give it some time and maybe the pressure will force around to cut a deal of some sort. I don't think a deal is going to happen. I think when you put an estimated one-third of your naval forces just outside their country, you're basically just ready to swing, take a punch. But I don't know what you're hearing down in DC, Amber. Well, I actually saw a Facebook post today from a woman that I'm friends with on Facebook and her husband is in the military. and she just laid this all out for us, which is super helpful. I don't think she realized what she was doing,
Starting point is 00:07:27 but her husband was originally supposed to be deployed about a month from now. And she posted today that her husband was called in without official orders on Monday. And so they're freaking out because they wanted to plan for this deployment. But reading the tea leaves, why else would this guy be called in, right, with no advance notice? Yeah, I mean, I don't know, you know, what the goal is. I mean, I assume that it's going to be regime change. The former Shah, I guess, is ready to take over or what have you. A lot of people are saying that this is going to be, you know, Iraq War III or what have you.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I think it's a different animal. Not that I'm not that I'm pro regime change in Iran, but like Iran is a very different place. Well, actually, I was for the longest time anti-intervention. But my mind was changed when Lib Hero America 439 on X sent a tweet to me of a Trump supporter looking sad with a bunch of a bunch of ribbon saying fell forward again award. And it bruised my ego. So I went, I didn't fall forward. I want the war. I'm for the war.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So now I'm for the war. That's me, but unironically. I'm a plan trust. No, I don't think this will be Iraq or Afghanistan 2.0 if we do go in. I do not support the U.S. intervening in this capacity. I'm not an absolutist. I think it's stupid to be like the U.S. should never for any reason. No, there's sometimes there are reasons.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I do think, however, if Trump does go in, we have already seen with Venezuela, Trump does not operate like in the past 20 years. And just because we had these abysmal failures 20-someide years ago, doesn't mean military operations will be the same today. And I think it's fair to say many neocons, despite what I can criticize these guys for, have pointed out that we as a generation are traumatized by the failures of the the Bush era foreign policy. And we, we, we, it doesn't mean every intervention all the time will be bad.
Starting point is 00:09:26 That being said, my deeper concerns are they have not justified to us. The, the, there's no justification as to why we should engage in a joint military strike to flatten the Iranian regime. I certainly understand the protests are really bad. The people have been pissed at their government for some time. Iran's funding a bunch of terror. But for a full scale knockout regime change, I think they would need to come out. need to make an address to the nation, and he would need to explain the serious risk of this
Starting point is 00:09:53 country to justify it. I don't agree with what we've seen so far, this massive buildup, because I read the news all day, every day, and all I've seen is, yes, it's bad in the Middle East. Yes, Iran is engaging in the funding of enemies and things like this, but it's played off like status quo, not like imminent threats. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a couple things here. I mean, for one, I've always had this frustration as a Zoomer is because in the same way that millennials would always talk about how boomers would always equate everything to world war two. I feel like millennials always equate things to GWAT because that was the environment that millennials sort of like became politically aware in. And so I get a little frustrated because I'm like,
Starting point is 00:10:29 clearly the Trump administration operates like to Tim's point operates much differently than previous administrations when it comes to how they handle affairs, how they handle geopolitical affairs and these sorts of things. So I mean I'm like I'm very skeptical to speak with quagmire. Two, the second point is I'm not even sure if regime change is the victory condition for Trump and co here because they've said that the nuclear program, that's their main concern. And so I think if we were to go back in, it would be strikes on the nuclear program. No way. Fully decimated.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Well, and then the third point here is Trump, a month or two ago, made the statement that if they touch protesters, if they start humming protesters, people go in, that is a very hard stance that you cannot back down. No, I reject that outright because Canada is killing its own citizens right now with maid. I mean, I agree. I agree. I agree.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Exactly. So this idea that it's like, oh, but the protests in Oh, please. They are in Canada, the maid program, medical assistance and dying is killing young people simply for being depressed. And according to the family in this story, which we could probably get into later, but she said that she believes the doctor instructed her son on how to, how to deteriorate his body so that he could qualify.
Starting point is 00:11:38 So when the doctor says to you, you're too healthy for us to kill you, stop eating and start dying, and then maybe we can get you qualified. So anyway, not to jump into that story. the idea that we care about the protesters. Yeah, no, that's nonsense. And I definitely don't think the wind condition is the nuclear program. Absolutely not. I think the nuclear program is a concern, but a psychotic fundamentalist regime is the principal concern.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And there's two main factors there. They fund fanatics and extremists in the region, and that's a problem for trade in the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. So we want that to stop. And more importantly, through this, they oppose the liberal economic order and the petro dollar. Now that I'm not persuaded by this argument that everybody should operate under the quote-unquote AOC's rules-based order of the United States. But the principal reasons why the U.S. wants to take down Iran and their government is because
Starting point is 00:12:35 they're not playing ball with the IMF, the petro dollar, the Swiss payment system, et cetera, et cetera. Well, the reason I'm like skeptical that the victory condition for the United States here is regime change is, I mean, A, just what the Trump administration has said and then obviously what happened last summer. But then B, the Trump administration and kind of this philosophy of this, I guess you would call like the new right or something along those lines, is that they believe that the Middle East is naturally liberalizing anyway. This is why they're like building out the Abraham Accords is they're banking on the fact that these countries are liberalizing. They're becoming more friendly towards the West. So I think in the back of the heads of a lot of these decision makers and the Trump administration is they're thinking like,
Starting point is 00:13:12 hey, on a long enough timeline, Iran is liberalizing it. If you go and you go on YouTube and you type been nightlife in Tehran. And you see people walking out of the camera in Tehran. Women aren't wearing headscarves. They're like having parties. They're like, again, it's not quite New York City, but it's definitely doesn't seem like this fundamentalist Islamic regime like the Ayatollah sort of portrays themselves as. Isn't taking out the, wouldn't you say that taking out the existing regime does benefit
Starting point is 00:13:36 the Abraham Accords and the other Gulf states? Because you know that like the Saudis don't like Iran anymore than anyone else. Yeah, obviously toppling it is beneficial for the Abraham Accords. I'm just saying that I think they're under the impression that Diatollah's on borrowed time anyway. And so there's not really much sense in sort of allocating all these resources, potential, again, having a potential quagmire. When instead, they just eliminate the problem of the nuclear program and then continue businesses. What do you guys think the chances of this operation, if this, this, whatever it turns into, being something along the lines of what the Venezuela operation is? I mean, I think it should be last summer.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Yeah. Yeah, it'd have to be more. In order for the U.S. to take out the Iranian military, they're going to need some serious bombs. They've probably got people inside the Iranian government about to flip. What they're doing now is called gunboat diplomacy. They started in like the 1800s where they'll just sail up on your shore and be like, be a shame if you didn't bow down to our diplomacy. And you're like, oh, God, okay, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Ideally, you don't have to fire a shot. But I think it's just obvious. I think there's no other mission than regime change. I can't see any other mission than regime change. and they want to secure the Middle East to set up the liberal economic trade order. The Iranian government's been openly hostile. And, I mean, then on top of that,
Starting point is 00:14:52 now they just got to convince the world that it's in good faith. I'm not sure convincing the world is something that the U.S. is really concerned with anymore. Well, that's what we're doing. They didn't really convince us on Venezuela. Yeah, and that's my point. Yeah, they don't care about that.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Nowadays, Trump would have been more convincing if he was like, Maduro rigged the U.S. election, so I'm going in. And at least there would have been some reason. Yeah, like, some of the good faith is saying it's about the protesters, for instance. Well, I mean, the-Bad the theocracy is. Well, it's the opposite. But the stuff that Tim, like, Tim says, you know, like, might make, right?
Starting point is 00:15:23 That's really kind of the world that we live in. It's, that's the way that it is. And Trump has just, you know, has just dropped all pretense, right? Like, he doesn't pretend that it's some kind of agreement or whatever. Essentially, if you've got the power to do something and it's in your benefit, then we're just going to go do it. Well, he's trying to rebuild our position in the world as the world's police. Because after the Afghanistan withdrawal and then, like, Ukraine breaking down, everything happening under the Biden administration's nose. The way the world
Starting point is 00:15:48 viewed the United States during that period was that we're actually in many ways insufficient as the world's police. So Trump is trying to stitch together that vision again for the world. He's not really concerned with like how the world, like what their like what their opinion is on our actions. And nor should we really care. No, I don't think so. That's an in-house discussion over whether or not we should intervene in Venezuela, whether or not we shouldn't even even care what like China has to say about this. Or I don't even really care about what the Europeans have to say, quite frankly, because it's our affairs. It's an in-house discussion. But all this to say, I mean, I'm not thrilled about any sort of intervention in Iran either. But again, if you look at what happened last summer,
Starting point is 00:16:25 it went quite well. We do know that Ayatollah, like, he's a saber wagger. He just tweets all day, but he doesn't actually really back it up. I could see a situation where they just maximize pressure and they cut a deal with him and he leaves. I mean, that's actually like a pretty realistic scenario here. Right. Well, one of the theories that I see here is that all of this blustering in the press and the scuttle button DC is just to create buzz that we're going to blow them up, they're going to hear it. Yeah. Their top intel guys are going to go to the Supreme Leader and they're going to be like
Starting point is 00:16:52 the entire U.S. media is saying Trump's about to press the button. And then he's going to be like, I surrender. Well, he also, like, something really important that a lot of people are missing is they saw what happened in Venezuela. They saw that Russia and then by extension China did not really do anything to back them up. Granted, obviously it's a lot closer so it would be easier to back them up.
Starting point is 00:17:09 But they had assets. They had assets in and around the area. They could have stepped in if they really wanted to. If they really deemed Venezuela as like a truly untouchable asset. Again, that's in our hemisphere, so it's a little bit different. But Iran is hiding this conversation internally where they're like, we can't necessarily depend on the Russians here. We certainly can't depend on the Chinese.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So there could be a situation where we just continue max cranking up the pressure where they just say, I'm going to cut a deal. I'm going to fly to Moscow and get it over with. Both China and Russia can say whatever they want about, you know, the U.S. shouldn't do this or that. But they know that they can't attack U.S. assets. like Russia can't attack U.S. assets. There's no way they would do that because they wouldn't want to risk an actual conflict
Starting point is 00:17:47 with the United States. Well, Russia has, they still would have some tools available in Europe where like, okay, they could start ripping apart some of these energy supplies, these sorts of things. They could really take the gloves off in Ukraine if they really wanted to, and that would cause some problems for America that would force our hand again. So it's like Russia does have options, and then they could also directly support Iran. But I don't know if Iran should depend on that. Matt. Let's jump to this story. We have a tweet here from Mr. Obvious. Breaking the hacker known
Starting point is 00:18:15 his 4chan has announced the U.S. is going to be launching a military strike on Iran. It turns out Venezuela was a test run. If it is true, it'll jumpstart World War III and the U.S. economy and cause a totalish storm. Be advised we are going to war. Now, we don't know if this is true or not this post because, hey, it's the internet. But someone on, I believe, 4chan, said, I posted yesterday with a 36-hour timeline. We are now in the 24-hour window. Look for a significant number of Iranian leadership to be exterminated. The leadership of Iran is made up of a secret council of 22 military and political leaders who meet regularly in a bunker in Tehran. One of their members is a Mossad agent. Needless to say, this group goes first. Israel knows after the
Starting point is 00:18:54 last few years, this is the time to end this issue and tactical nukes will take out most of Iran's missile infrastructure in the first strike. Tehran will go in the first wave with the false flag attack set up for Israel to kick things off. Cheers. He added, or I believe this is the first statement, was a test for what is happening in Iran. A large part of the Iranian military and leadership will be vaporized in the opening salvos. Israel will use tactical nukes to take out Iranian missiles and their bases. We're about T-minus three days now. I want to say real quick skepticism. The use of tactical nukes is a bold statement. Well, this is, but this does sort of align with what I was thinking is that we're also at the precipice of, we're at this time in history where the United
Starting point is 00:19:34 States has weapons that the rest of the world doesn't have, just insane vibration tech that makes people piss their pants and die. And in 10 years, the rest of the world will have it. And they know that. So they need to use it if they're going to, that's the thinking of these military guys is we need to use it while we have the technology. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. But Ian, that's 10 years old, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:52 That's 20 years old. These conversations around, say, like, ULF generators, you know, like, so this is crazy. What we heard in Venezuela is that apparently one of these collectivos reported that there was like a boom, and then all of a sudden they all became violently ill. And that is in line with the conspirators. theories about what's called an ultra-low frequency generator. Basically that these very, the ultra-low frequencies can cause you to feel sick instantly, and the government has weaponized a very powerful low-frequency pulse to disable people. But that conversation was 20-some-odd years ago.
Starting point is 00:20:25 My point is, while I do agree with you, maybe they're saying, like, we should use it now, the weapons the government has would probably blow your effing mind. When it comes to actual war, they're going to do things you didn't even imagine because you don't know about the weapons they got. Bro, let me tell you this, 10 years ago, heck, what is it, 26? This is 14 years ago. There was a Kickstarter for micro drones that fly like insects. We know that the U.S. government has tiny microdrones that can fly. Very, very small.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Bro, we're watching universities create liquid robots that can segment. Have you seen this? Yeah. It's the video. It's a really slow-moving gel. but it can split into and recombine. They're like, we are programming the weirdest materials. So we know about the heart attack gun.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You know about that one, right? Yeah, that's a CIA. The church hearings revealed that. And guys, guys, the heart attack gun is not even a crazy thing to imagine. Basically, you shoot someone with a dart that's got some, I'm not going to describe exactly what, but they're. No, not even toxins, bro. Not even toxins. Let's just call it without getting too much detail.
Starting point is 00:21:36 potassium combination. That's it. And then it causes a heart attack. And they've had this for 50 some odd years, longer probably. So anyway, my point is, if they want to go boots on the ground, they're going to be using
Starting point is 00:21:51 probably conventional weapons on the surface, but the special weapons, man, you won't even know they happened. I bet they can release tiny drones and they can just swarm them in and they'll take out leadership very easily. Well, I mean, we saw it where they literally just turned Caracas off.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Exactly. So it's like they have these, But to this, like with this post and then some of the, you know, rumors that I think all of us are hearing coming out of the Beltway, something we have to keep in mind here is in the lead up to the Venezuela operation and then the actual Venezuela operation itself, there was zero rumors. It was airtight. It just happened. And everyone's surprised. Even people at the top level of military intel were shocked that happened. Except the alley market. Sure. But it's like, that was because of like the fleet movements, which are impossible to hide. But it's like with this, all of a sudden there's rumors everywhere. Everyone's got scoops, this sort of thing. That just seems obvious to me that the Trump administration. trying to put, like they're trying to build leverage here. They're trying to put pressure on the Iranian. So these are tactical leaks that are happening here. Because again, they have demonstrated with Venezuela that if they want to keep it airtight, they can. I think that's probably true.
Starting point is 00:22:47 On the human sources front, I expect that we probably have way more than we realized because we obviously had people in the Venezuelan regime who were helping the American government. But also recently, the CIA has been releasing a series of videos trying to convince CCP officials to leak to the United States, I don't know that they're doing those because they work, but to send a message to China that we have some of your guys. And that's precisely why I think those leaks were coming out
Starting point is 00:23:16 about certain Chinese officials being tossed out or executed or what have you, is that they were trying, that China was trying to send a counter signal, well, this is what happens to you if you leak to the United States. Yeah, well, I mean, we saw the Iranians shake out a lot of, like they weren't high-level officials, but during the protests, you know, these guys were, some of them are defective. think these are more like ethnic related sort of blowups. But like the Iranians were starting to clean house a little bit. They were freaked out because again, a lot of intel was getting
Starting point is 00:23:43 passed along to Western news outlets and no one knew how, no one knew. Well, you know, you know it really annoys but the whole thing is it's so wishy-washy. They're like the propaganda machine has not given us clear messages as to what the establishment is trying to accomplish. You've, the military industrial complex, you know, during the Bush era, it was if you defied the invasion, you are not on TV. They cut you off. Now, there is no defined narrative on what the establishment is trying to do. I'll give it to you guys. Liberal economic order, listen to me, this is what you guys are doing. You're avoiding World War III because you're going to set up a quadrupolar universe, quadripolar world. There's going to be the liberal United States in Europe.
Starting point is 00:24:22 There's going to be the Israeli bloc, the Russian block, and the Chinese block. That's all four blocks will protect the planet. We will leave. Oh, yeah, that that's right, because we trust the Chinese Communist Party, right? It's either that or World War III. That's what a marty or a unipolar world. Or a unipolar, which is just as bad. Could be just as bad because then you have the top-down control authority. You know, if there's one thing I learned from Democrats, it's that the only that matters is that you maintain your order. And what I mean by that is if we believe in a functional, classically liberal society, then we must oppose by all means anyone who seeks to subvert it or destroy it. So if you are operating within the confines of a constitutional United States of America
Starting point is 00:25:03 and you seek to operate within the confines of the Constitution and you debate on policy, we are good. But if you are a communist who is lying, cheating, and stealing to burn it all down, now we've got a problem and we have to stop that from happening. What's happening, though, well, what's happening is that the government is changing from a liberal democracy, from a liberal democratic republic to a technocratic system where de facto, we say we got free speech, but a corporation can take away your bank account or mute your account, which deems your free speech in the modern technical era with electricity. We don't have horses and we don't need to send our representatives off to the Capitol one day. Maybe we'll hear back from you like, bro, this is a fast-moving, intelligent
Starting point is 00:25:44 world now. So the technocracy, it's like, I think it's going to be kind of a, maybe I want it to be a quadrupolar world where it's just, it's going to be technocratic spy control, dude. It's going to be either you give us your information or we're going to spy on you and take it. Brother, quadrupolar means four different powers. They're constantly going to be in flux and fighting with each other for more power. Yes, limited. Limited skirmishes, ideally.
Starting point is 00:26:07 That's what we've been doing since the 70. It's not going to be, bro. Since the 50s. It's not going to be limited. Never in history. Since the 50s. We've never seen a global balance. There's something called Thucydides' trap.
Starting point is 00:26:16 We cited ad nauseum. Well, we got 80 years. We've been at balance. I mean limited, limited. You mean unipolar dominance. The balance. Cold War that, like, Yeah, seriously.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Multiple hot conflict. And the only reason there was like, quote unquote, balance is because of the threat of nuclear weapons. Like, it was, it was totally because you didn't want to, you know, start a fight with either of the big boys. So they had the small, you know, proxy wars. But like the United States and Russia getting into any kind of significant conflict would, you know, be the end of modern society. You might think with humans able to kill each other easier because we have airplanes and bigger weapons that it would have happened faster. But it's like driving on a road past someone. You don't want to hit the guy.
Starting point is 00:26:57 just like real life. Yeah, that's exactly right. We've had the most peaceful era like in human history just because the magnitude of death is... Bro. ...absorbent, yeah. What's up?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Mosquito drones. Yeah. Dude, you don't need that much of like a neurotoxin to take out a person. I guarantee you the U.S. government's got micro-delivery methods. It's so easy.
Starting point is 00:27:19 They must be like, or probably they should be like, okay, if we use this, it's going to get used against us at some point. How ethical is this thing to unleash? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. That's not the way
Starting point is 00:27:29 the weapons, the race for weapons works, they're saying it's going to happen no matter what. Like the Cold War, the arms race was they're building nukes no matter what we do. It's not that if we use it, they might then do it later. It's they have it now and they might use it now. And Brod, you know about the story where the Russian sub guy almost launched a nuke, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, gosh, that guy. What was his name?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Wasn't it like it was, they didn't know if it was a false alarm, so he decided not to fire and his protocol was to? Yeah. And then it would have been it. It would have been it. And then there's the other story, interesting, that we were going to launch when a UFO appeared and shut down our nuclear weapons. Do you ever hear that one? No, but we should talk about it. Wasn't there an official under Kim Jong-un that was killed by a toxin in an airport?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Like a woman wiped his face. Yeah, yeah. I think that was like someone related in his line of lineage. I wasn't that long ago. It was his uncle, right? I knew a guy a long time ago, and he told me, he young college guy when I was like in my early 20s. and he said terrorism doesn't exist. I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And obviously, you know, some crazy guy might, you know, plant a bomb or something. But he was like, no, like actual planned terror doesn't exist. Because he worked at a university in California in laboratory conditions. And he said that they have chemicals that are cheap, easily obtained. And if you touch a certain amount, you die. And he was like, I don't believe that, you know, when they say all this stuff is real, it actually is. Because if someone really want to terrorize somebody, there are powders that you can sprinkle in public and then people would just start dropping dead. And it's like for 20 bucks.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Nobody does this stuff. He's like, I don't actually think people want to do these things. You know, the argument being that terrorism is intended to create shock and awe, not actually kill people. Yeah. Generally, people don't want to fight ever. I mean, even though they want to eat chicken wings and sit down and watch sports. Yeah, they had the Christmas truce in World War I where they got out of the trenches, both the Germans and the French. and they were like singing together.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And then it was the commanders were like, you have to fight them or we're going to kill you. And so they were like, well, all right, back to war. But nobody really wanted that. Kim Jong-Nam, the estranged brother of North Korean leader,
Starting point is 00:29:40 that's my prediction. He was killed. Died February 13th after two women wiped his face with the VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. He died in 15 to 20 minutes. I don't know what it is with the East Asians,
Starting point is 00:29:54 but they love using No. Because like in Tokyo, they had the sarin attack in the 90s and they just took the sarin gas. This really bothers me because you know what these women should have done. They should have worn the fake lips with the chemical on it and then kissed them. And then he drops that and then they peel it off like in a movie. What movie was that? Was that GI Joe or something?
Starting point is 00:30:13 I know what you're talking about. Yeah. It was like Batman or something like that. No, no, no. Batman was poison iv. Just had mad. Because out in the West we're like blowing each other up and everything. But out in these days, they got these suave like gases.
Starting point is 00:30:25 sophisticated. Yeah, they're getting really... Take a look at... Take a look at East Asian martial arts and weapons compared to, like, the Europeans. Right. Europeans were more like
Starting point is 00:30:33 larger strategy. Asians were like the craziest techniques. Because there was another one, it was another one of Kim Jong-un's enemies and they strapped him to a chain gun, wasn't it? They strapped him to the outside of a chain gun and, like, fired through him
Starting point is 00:30:44 and cut him an half. It was another one of his enemies. I was thinking about Kim Jong-un, man, when he was like 12, they're like, bro, your uncle's going to have you killed. He's going to kill you if you don't have him killed. You need to issue the order. And he's like,
Starting point is 00:30:54 12 and his dad's friends are advising and he's like all right. Goblin King, bro. They go all in out there and he say they don't play around. All right. All right, guys, guys, we have to do this. I got to tell you right now, did you know that the Simpsons predicted this very moment? I'm going to play you for this clip because Simpsons predicted everything. Listen to this. Can we get rid of this Ayatollah T-shirt? Come many died years ago. Did he? But March, it works on any Ayatollah.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Ayatollah Nahtoda. Ayatollah is a Haiti. Even as we speak, Ayatollah Rasmara and his cadre of finesse. are consolidating their power. I don't care who's consolidating their power. So they didn't actually predict it, but this clip is hilarious because it kind of shows you that this Iran thing has been going on for a very, very, very long time. But I do love that opening line where she's like Kameni died years ago. A t-shirt?
Starting point is 00:31:42 Comini died years ago. And now we have another Kameney. Yep. It's Khomeini. Instead of Khomeini? Yeah. I know there's one letter difference. Yep.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Like that, it is interesting. He's always like crashing out on Twitter. Like anytime the Americans put a little pressure on me, just starts freaking out and firing tweets off. He's talking about touching the boats again. It's a bad idea to touch the boats. I know. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:32:03 that idea. Why do we allow him to have a Twitter? I mean, could the military industrial complex just like, commandeer his ex account and have him post like, I think you should all die you Americans and plus Epstein was our friend or something? You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Like just put Kamani in the Epstein files and then get war. Actually, hold on, hold on. This is why I have questions about the military industrial complex right now, because the perfect opportunity to evade Iran was to have information come out in the files that Epstein worked for Iran. I'm not saying legitimately, I'm saying if the military industrial complex wanted to propagandize and get American support war, all that to do. But we know it would be fake because you have these old posts from the Ayatoll on a sort of from like 2013 where he was like yearning. He was like a woman is like a beautiful flower. And he had all these like weird tweets back then. He had another one where he's like like tweeting about how great books are.
Starting point is 00:32:53 and he's like, I just really like books a lot. Because every time you pluck away a pedal, it's like a, and it was like these really thoughtful, like, urine posts. And I was like, we would know if he was in the Epstein list, it's wrong. He was listening to too much Ebo. I do remember back when a lot of the social media censorship was happening around 2016, that one of the common arguments from conservatives was like, how can you ban Alex Jones, but Kameney's allowed to have an X account or Twitter account?
Starting point is 00:33:21 I think that is just because Elon Musk wants to troll. them. Oh, also, you can hack his account once we go to war and then make it look like he's surrendering. I didn't want to give it away, but, you know, hopefully our guys hear it and you know how mad you must be if you're Iranian, like if you're Iranian right now because your country's under threat, like potential regime change. You can see the like actual, the entirety of your government system fall apart. And the commandee's like engagement farming on Twitter right now. He's like trying to build up his Twitter. Start my go from me. He's going to be out. He's out. He's out. He's out. He's out. Follow me on substats.
Starting point is 00:33:53 He's just like threatening to like kill us on Twitter. It's like, dude, yeah, he's going to make a substance. He's like, I want to tweet my way through it. Just, you know. He can tick. Yeah, dude, that's actually, that's a good lesson for everyone. If you're going through something in life, like don't actually address it, just tweet through it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah, I think it's very true. Like, going to have a word more searchable than right now. Yeah, get some good stuff for discovery. It'd be good. Like, the amount of, I've learned about the dirtiness of the rest of the world, like, to be on the bad side of the liberal, like, and I'm not a worder is so horrifying. Like, to just kind of join the empire and play along. I don't.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You get a Twitter. Like if Kim Jong-Hood had a Twitter, how awesome that is the least worst system. Just gas my brother. I've never seen a better system in the liberal economic order. Even though it's brutal to the people. Just poison my brother. Hashtag family food. There is no better system.
Starting point is 00:34:36 You know? So far advanced from all the other systems so far in human history. You got a good system. Wait, wait, guys. Guys, I have a poll up on the show. Yes, World War with Iran are no, no more wars. And War with Iran is at 51%. So I'm going to, I'm going to say.
Starting point is 00:34:52 side with the audience then. Because I believe whatever the people believe. Yeah. And the people believe in war. You're true populace, Tim. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:00 And I've decided that one of the most effective ways to boost your live audience is to mispronounce words. Connectity. What? Bro, that Ben Shapiro tweet was off the rails. Yeah, it was it? You didn't see the Ben Shapiro tweet about Candice Owens. I showed my wife and she was like, I can't believe Ben did that.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And we were just laughing. No, I think I glanced. He called her a, Retard! Yeah, wow. Because she accused him of wanting to use the hard R. When he became hard? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:29 With many hours. What it? Dude, the state of American politics is retarded. It's ridiculous. It's so bad. I mean, on top of the fact that, you know, as Tate, you pointed this out earlier, not on the show, but you were like, the state of commentary is a streamer reacting to a streamer, commenting on a streamer?
Starting point is 00:35:47 Yeah, it was Snecoeco reacting to Sond Pike or reacting to clavicular. on Adam Friedland's show. Some more levels of influencer. There was a post about Asmund Gold because he was commenting on something from Destiny, who was commenting on something from Hassan. And so it was like six layers of streamer commentary. And then it was like the comment was something like cultural commentary in the multiverse. That's what we should do.
Starting point is 00:36:16 We should pull up Sneco stream and then react to we had a fifth layer to it. And then we just keep going. Someone else will grab it. Do a live show. You know what I should do? Just turn on Hassan Piker's live stream and live stream his live stream and just react to it.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Then he's reacting to us. Everyone's five seconds off. But then whoever has the delay wins. Yeah, exactly. You used to do video responses in YouTube 2006 and 7. You could directly link to their on the video would show like this.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I would respond directly to people and just talk to them. Just emasculate people. It was popular. It was kind of a dick. It was 20 years ago. So what happened is we're going to dominate them. Now the tech has evolved
Starting point is 00:36:51 so that you can put their video in your video so that people have context for the response, but people talk about each other instead of to each other. It's a great evolution. You need to really go at you, you know, when you're talking to someone. I just want you to imagine that it's like 1996 and you got a CD player.
Starting point is 00:37:08 And then, you know, this old guy's going like, bro, we used to have eight tracks, man. Like we put them in and in order to get the, you got to flip it over in order to actually hear the other song and then because you couldn't rewind. And you're just going like, what are you talking about it? Yeah, but it's like we used to sit in the room
Starting point is 00:37:21 actually play games together. We used to talk to each other with video responses. Isn't it crazy that Ian was 37 in 2006? God. It was, no, I was 27. 26. It was, Phil, it was more effective because it was direct. Even though there was that break of time,
Starting point is 00:37:39 it was, they weren't talking about each other. It was really, people were changing in real time because you had to defend yourself. People would talk right at you and more people would watch the guy talking at you and you're like, well, I better fucking speak up for myself. Ian, I want you to eat this. What is it?
Starting point is 00:37:53 I want you to eat this pill. I don't know what it is, dude. There you go. What is that? It's what happened to Kim Jong's. Come on. It's kimchi. It's kimchi.
Starting point is 00:38:01 It's kimchi. Actually, is there garlic in it? Squirrel. I don't know. Yes, there is. The Korean guy's pill. That has a good track. A Korean man just offered you powdered, capsuled kimchi. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:12 That's what I do because I actually do have a thing of kimchi. You've got to go get some water to take this. He's actually taking it. It's locking in. Good for him. Oh, man. Yeah, the current state of politics is funny because we're actually about to go to war. It's going to cost us billions of dollars. We've got a laugh track tonight.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yeah. Hey, you and I just heard, we're going to invade Iran. I agree with you, dude. Not about that. Oh, geez, maybe I do. Is that the state of politics is a muddled mess. Do you guys get that? Because when you're in it, it's hard to tell. But the world's trying to get us to go crazy on each other right now. Just look at the fact that you've got the SAVE Act, right? 75% of Democrats, 90% of Republicans, and the Senate won't pass it.
Starting point is 00:39:00 You know what I learned. Change the rules. From watching Big Bang Theory is that you don't actually need jokes in order to be funny. You just need to say something with some kind of inflection and then play a laugh track. So the response would be like, you guys here? We're going to go to war with Iran. And then it's just now everyone's laughing at home. What's the deal with Iran?
Starting point is 00:39:23 What about I walk? But you don't actually have to say it like that. and you're good. Yeah, you know what's really funny is that that's annoying to me. Jerry Seinfeld? Yeah, Jerry Seinfeld. It's like he's stroking out.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Tim Poole! Everyone loved it, dude. It was like the biggest show ever when he was doing that. I saw something on X today that they were saying that they initially the show didn't test well because it was too Jewish.
Starting point is 00:39:48 It was pretty Jewish in the very beginning. It was just knocking back Motson's true. I don't believe that, dude. It's funny. In the early days. They were like just bitching. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Just like reverse mortgaging houses. I just slept all the way across New York for my bagel. Yeah, you just did. I just did. Framer was tame. He scaled up his physical comedy, which made the show. And Elaine, when they got Elaine, she wasn't in the pilot, but when they got Elaine. Because we never knew if Elaine was Jewish or not.
Starting point is 00:40:12 That was kind of frustrating. She was definitely Jewish. Venice, that could be Hungarian. Yeah. You know, George Costanza is based off Larry David. Yeah. That's who he's supposed to be. Who is Jewish?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Very Jewish. Infamously, yeah. Infamously. Very Jewish. That's like. Yeah, his whole thing is that he's like a disgruntled Jew. Yeah. This is why Iran wants to go to war with the United States.
Starting point is 00:40:31 This is Larry David. It's because of Seinfeld overall. They had all those Jews on the world. You know, I met last year with Netanyahu, and the most offensive thing about it was that they wanted to convince me that we should go to war with Iran, but they never offered me $7,000. Right. You know, you know how that feels when it's like we expect you to do this for free,
Starting point is 00:40:51 but other people get paid? It's like, hey, come on. Yeah. I have value. I know. You know? I was really let down because I think all the funny Jews came to America because then like every time you meet Israel, there's not really that funny. They're just like really obsessed about their future.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Where's the human? Mel Brooks. Like was like B. B. B. Bucs. Uh, no.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Yeah, so they sent all the funny ones here. And then the rest of them that weren't that funny, I guess went to Israel. I don't know. Something about the New York water. There's some anthropology here. There's a paper on this, I think. New York's not doing too well.
Starting point is 00:41:19 No, New York is not doing too much. We have a Muslim communist. And now what, something happened in New York. York like overnight. No, no, for real, because there's videos of just feces everywhere. Yeah. And I lived in New York for five years. I never have seen anything like this. Yeah. And my thought is one of two things. One, like the city workers, once Mom Dani got in were like, screw him, I'm not doing work. Or it could be that there was a basic administrative function, like flicking a switch that Mamdani didn't know to do. So in all seriousness, it could be like his administration
Starting point is 00:41:52 gets in and they were unaware that the previous administration does some kind of remittance for, you know, waste services on a certain date. And they didn't do it. So then the services didn't get done. But something happens where there's garbage piling up everywhere in New York and there's feces everywhere in New York. And now he's defunding the police. Yeah, that was a question. That was a comment that I actually had a couple of weeks ago or whatever. Like, you assume that the new administration still has all of the proper functioning branches of government and just that Mom Dani comes in and there would still be. your normal services. I was blown away that he's actually managed to basically run the city into the ground so fast.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Well, no, what happened is Eric Adams, like the one thing you got to hand it to him, and I can say this, I was living in New York City, I saw the transition from De Blasio to Eric Adams. As Eric Adams, like, the one thing he would always point to as like the dub of his mayoral, like, administration was that he actually, like, got the city quite clean. Like, the rat population did decline quite extensively. Yeah. So when Mamdani came in, the first thing he did was undo every single executive order that Eric Adams had declared. And a lot of those executive orders related to sanitation related to, again, extermination. So these sorts of things happen. You reverse that.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Suddenly all these city workers who were once tasked to sanitation are now tasked elsewhere. And that's why you're seeing this like massive. Let's jump to this real quick from Fox News. Mamdani has proposed defunding the NYPD. Finally, it only took the guy claiming he did want to defund the NYPD who then claimed during his campaign he didn't want to defund the NYPD to get in so that he could defund the NYPD. He was just talking about canceling 5,000 new officer hires. Now, he's basically holding the city hostage saying, guys, did you watch Mom Dani's budget proposal?
Starting point is 00:43:34 I died. You know what we had a laugh track today? We added a laugh track because I watched Mom Dani say, it's not fair that we pay 54.5% taxes to the state, but only get back 40%. to which my response is to Mayor Mamdani from each according to their ability to each according to their need. So for a communist to be like, why are they making me do more work but not giving me what I want is just so absolutely ironic. It's not even a fire truck on fire.
Starting point is 00:44:10 The fire truck has just melted into molten goop. That's how ironic it is. Now the dude is saying, if we don't tax the rich, by the way, 10% of the top earners have already fled the city, He says, if we don't tax the rich more, we're going to tax the middle and working class. And it's not my fault. In reality, what he's saying is we know we can't tax the wealthy anymore because they're already fleeing. So we're framing this as though the taxes on you are because of them, which we predicted. Exactly what we had said.
Starting point is 00:44:42 This is what Venezuela does. This is what the communists do. When their policies invariably fail, they say someone else did it to us. So now Mamdani is saying it's Hokel's fault. It's the state's fault that we have to raise your taxes. And people are going to get behind them because they're dumb. Communists always say, oh, you know, it's the capitalist fault. When it's a communist country, they blame the United States.
Starting point is 00:45:05 They blame the CIA. The same thing's going on in California. They say, oh, you know, we're going to raise, we're going to have this, what is it, the wealth tax they're talking about on billionaires. They lost over a trillion dollars in tax revenue in the past couple months because, you know, they're like, oh, you're going to tax us. well then we're just going to leave. Businesses are moving out. This happens consistently. And one of the things with New York,
Starting point is 00:45:25 there was a ton of people that have been all over X saying, oh, yeah, I thought that a bunch of people were going to move out. Oh, I thought a bunch of people were going to move out. And it's like, well, look at it now. There's a lot, how many,
Starting point is 00:45:34 I don't, I didn't catch how much Tim said, but a lot of people have left. Half a million a year? 10% of the, millionaires or something. 10% of the top earners, which includes like middle to high income people as well. Yeah, just bailing because they have the resources
Starting point is 00:45:49 to do it. The weather's not particularly. great this time of year. They're like, all right, now's the time. Let's get out of here. Maybe this is a play from Trump. Trump goes on TV and he's like, the economy's doing great. And then literally anybody who goes to the grocery store is like, yeah, that's not true. But maybe the play is this. New York's taxes are so high. You combine that. I mean, if you're a regular working class person, you're paying something like 13% to New York based on the state and city tax on top of your federal income tax. And so you've got $10 eggs and then you're losing
Starting point is 00:46:16 half your money. You're going to be like, I got to move somewhere else. So maybe Trump is just strangling out these commies. Well, it's funny because, like, the wealthiest of the wealthy, like, the truly elite, like, are pretty much untouched by any of these policies. Do you look at, like, how New York City operates fundamentally? Like, look at the new, they call them, like, the toothpick towers by Central Park, billionaire's row. Those are owned by, like, Saudis, they're owned by maybe Americans that have their wealth stored elsewhere, these sorts of things. Even Donald Trump, like Trump Tower, these sorts of things. He's like Mr. New York City. His residency's in Florida now. He's paying Florida taxes, but he still, obviously has a huge fraud for New York City.
Starting point is 00:46:45 So it's like the top earners, those types of guys, this doesn't affect them at all. No, no, no, no, but hold on. There's no such thing as a top earner. I was hanging out in D.C. a couple weeks ago, and I was having an argument with these gentlemen who, I said, people don't have as much money as you think they do. People think that Jeff Bezos can snap his finger and then build a skyscraper. That's only technically correct. I was like, Bezos makes something, like what does he get like a million bucks a year? He pays himself like $83,000 a month or something. So it just comes out to a million. Then with bonuses, he actually takes home only a couple million. his wealth is tied to his stock, which you can only sell in certain intervals. And I'm like, so the amount of money that guy probably has liquid is probably very, very little.
Starting point is 00:47:28 And then most of his assets are going to be in some kind of either semi-liquid or hard asset. And these people don't believe it. They're like, no, man, that's a billionaire. He's probably got $100 million. And I'm like, that's insane to sit on cash like this. Elon Musk is worth, what, $8.50 billion now. and he just said the other day that he's going to get access to like $850 million. We also don't use your own money for building a building.
Starting point is 00:47:55 You get a loan. Yeah. This is the point. All of it operates this way. Nobody is actually sitting on cash and able to spend this much money. So the thing is with New York City and these buildings, I'm going to tell you guys a secret. You want to know what the rich people do. Everyone talks about these loopholes.
Starting point is 00:48:11 It's a loophole. You bought you, they get a Delaware trust. They cost $5,000 per year to maintain. They dump a bunch of money into it. Now let's say the trust has got $10 million. The trust then buys a house for a million dollars cash. A year later, the house is worth $1.5. They sell it.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Now the trust is up $500,000 and does not pay taxes on it. Crazy true. Then they buy a new house for $2 million and they live in it. When they're done, they sell that house for $3 million and the money goes to the trust and they do not pay taxes on it. Because the trust has, the money has, the way it works is that the money in the trust has never, has never been realized. Trusts can make investments and sell and trade and do all these things, but until an individual extracts that, a beneficiary takes it out of the trust, they have not received a realized
Starting point is 00:49:06 gain to pay taxes on. So most rich people just buy these Delaware trusts and say, I never made any money. The trust is making money, but that's just an investment. I've never realized those gains. Yeah, well, I mean, you even see, I mean, like New York City did a great example of, like, how the elite function in New York City. Again, this is neither here nor there, but like look at NYU. Like NYU is the definition of like kind of this new elite, this new global elite in a lot of ways. And none of the kids at NYU, their families or them themselves are paying taxes in New York City.
Starting point is 00:49:34 They live in New York City. They live in New York City lifestyle, these sorts of things. None of them are paying any New York City taxes. All these taxes really affect are the people that are actual business owners in New York City, these sorts of things. And then, like, to Ambr's point, I mean, the way that these top guys, like, access wealth is they can just take leverage against their own assets and they can have access to liquid capital instantly through that. Elon's an exception because he has a massive pay package now. So he's actually like a rare exception because he actually just decided to, again, extract a massive pay package
Starting point is 00:50:02 out of Tesla. It's like it's a trillion. I think he got his trillion dollars, right? Something approximating that. He got something very close. But you know, he's an exception. Like he said, Bezos, these. When Elon tweeted out, money can't buy you happiness, I was actually surprised to see the man was so philosophically stunted. It's like, Elon, you've been rich forever, right? Certainly you understand more at this point. You don't need to be like, I've just realized, you know, tweeting out money can't buy you happiness.
Starting point is 00:50:31 It's like, dude, come on. That's usually what broke people. That's what I would, that's what I tell myself. I don't need all that money. He wrote a script for GROC to tweet for him and GROC did it. I pictured him in his penthouse, So on top, literally on top of the world, well, figuratively, on top of the world,
Starting point is 00:50:46 overlooking the world, he's like, I have everything. And I'm not happy. No, I'm pretty sure he lives in, like, doesn't he live in, like, a little mobile or something? Yeah, he doesn't have an extravagant house. Yeah. He was sleeping on someone's couch. There was a moment. What I was thinking was, there was a moment where he was in extreme opulence and just like,
Starting point is 00:51:05 I don't, I don't, I'm not, I don't think so. I think Elon's story has always been that he had, like, a decently good house, sold it and then lived in like a mobile little camper. Maybe not his home. Maybe he was on a, at some party, you know, standing up on top of like his own space at party or something. But Ian, Bill Gates famously wears gaudy clothing. There's a story of him going into a casino and putting $20 on blackjack and losing,
Starting point is 00:51:28 like, well, I'm done. That guy's super rich too, but they don't live this way. Sure, to be fair, like they're on private jets. But people also don't understand private jets are fake. What I mean by that is when you see a video of an influence on a private jet, that's fabricated. Flying on a private jet is uncomfortable. You don't got a lot of room and there's no snacks, no food.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And, you know, I've been on some good jets where they could play a movie, but they really don't because it's an inconvenience. So you're really in a cramped space. The convenience of it is there's no security. You literally walk into what's called an FBO, a fixed space operator. They say, right this way, you get on this jet where you can't really stand up, even the better ones, they're still kind of cramped. And then you fly, there's nothing.
Starting point is 00:52:08 maybe you're on a good one. You'll get internet. We've had it in it a couple times. And then you land, it's not decadent, it's not opulent. It's just faster. For security purposes, it brings you closer to where you want to go. So if you're landing at an executive airport or an FBO, usually you can closer to your destination instead of having to land in an international commercial airport and driving.
Starting point is 00:52:26 My point is people assume that Elon has this ultra wealthy trillionaire. He's like on his own private 757. That's probably not happening at all. Considering that it's hard for him to liquidate those resources that he owns in like Tesla and SpaceX. He only has access like, Phil was pointing out like $800 million. Yeah, something like that.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And that's a lot, but that's not cash, because no sane person is going to have that in cash. That makes no sense. So let me put it like this. I once flew in a private, private jet with a tech billionaire. And it was boring and uncomfortable and cramped. This guy literally, well, I don't want to call him a billionaire because he was actually just like a little bit below billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:53:02 And he's like, here's my private jet. And I'm like, cool. This is fun. But it's not, it's not opulent. Certainly opulence exists. Like Taylor Swift was flying on. What was she flying on? It was like a Lear jet or something.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I think so. It was like a G4 or something. Yeah, G4 maybe. And you actually get a bit of headroom, but you're still like most of these jets. It is not what people imagine. So what happens is they go on Instagram. I have that nice hand.
Starting point is 00:53:24 It literally is a fast. I just kidding. I can't relate to this at all. They are. But this is the secret. The truth is the world is built for poor people. The overwhelming majority of the people on the planet are poor. And while rich people have access to all
Starting point is 00:53:38 of these things, it's typically for poor people. So let me put it like this. Actually, Andrew Tate put it really, really great. He said, once you get rich, all you're doing is looking for a better steak. And he absolutely nailed it. I disagree. Because you're also trying to preserve the system, the entire economic system that enables steak to be produced.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Not necessarily. Not if you're like a day trader and you're just extracting from the system. I mean, it would be like a moral obligation to protect the system that produces the state. I also want to say, Amber, you can probably intellectualize this idea where this is like a good dynamic we have is where I like throw something out and then she explains it. I hate like this Warren Buffett Holesome Chung is wealthy where he's like exorbitantly wealthy but he's like I go to McDonald's and drive a crowl. I'm like if you're wealthy, if you're that rich, I want you live in like a supervillain like a supervillian. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:25 I want you to be like covering Native American reservations and peanut butter just for no reason, just like blowing stuff. Like I want you live in like a super villain. That's what I want to see. Can you explain this? Well, okay. So, I mean, the thing is is to get. that rich, you have to be careful about lifestyle creep. And so they've become accustomed to being relatively frugal in their daily purchases because that's how they amassed their wealth. That's why
Starting point is 00:54:50 you see NFL players go broke two years after retirement. This is my point. They blow all their money. Let me let me tell you guys a secret. Most fancy steakhouses that you find on Google are fake fancy. they are designed to cater to the middle to lower income people who want to pretend to be rich. Like Ruse Chris? Yes, exactly. Yeah. I disenfes that place. There's always people taking like trashy birthday pictures in front of the Rous Chris sign.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And I'm just like, I can't. I'm not a fan of that place. I'd rather go to Outback Steakhouse. Agreed. Longhorn. Yeah. Bro, I went to Longhorn Steakhouse and the filet was incredible. But I'll tell you a secret. The actual wealthy people, they go to.
Starting point is 00:55:32 places only they know about. You want to know if someone's truly rich, their clothes don't have tags on them. I was in Mar-a-Lago. And there was a guy sitting, so I don't know if you guys are allowed, but in the lobby area, there was an older guy sitting on the couch, and some old ladies walk in, and they were like,
Starting point is 00:55:50 oh, Peter, and she goes, oh, my God, you're wearing tags. And he was like, well, you know, I had to go get something, and I needed something to wear. Because you get tailored. Your clothing is all custom made by a tailor who measures you, and it fits you perfectly. And I went and got food to Tucker Carlson once And we get in a car
Starting point is 00:56:09 And he's like, I know a great place And we ate at what was a It was like a mansion It was like we pulled up to a house There's no sign for it I couldn't find that on the map And the room that we ate in was the study Yeah
Starting point is 00:56:20 And it had a fireplace and they closed the door And there's books behind us And it was literally like being in someone's house Except their waiter would come into the room And then I was like What is this place? And then it's not listed on Google Maps It's like you are wealthy and it caters to the actual wealthy people.
Starting point is 00:56:37 And here's the secret. They don't care what you wear. Right. Never did. One of my favorite stories is there's a place in Chicago called Steak 48. Probably one of the best steak as I've ever been to. This place is a real, real high-end place. So I recommend it's just, it's down the street from the Trump Tower in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:56:56 The best stick I've ever had in my life, unquestionably the butcher's cut from steak 48. We usually go on Christmas when I'm back home. and server is there, professional. I go there once a year and the server there knows me. And he's like, Mr. Poole, welcome back. It's good to see you this year. They told me a story where a football player showed up in sweatpants. And the manager was like, sir, you can't dress like that in here.
Starting point is 00:57:17 And he was like, what do you mean? He had like a party of 11 people. And so then he was like, all right, we'll go somewhere else. And when the owner found out, he fired the manager on the spot. He was like, that football player drops 50 grand on a table. And you kicked him out for his sweatpants. actual wealthy places, as long as you don't stink, they don't care. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:35 And so there's all, so my point is this. People, people have a, have an Instagram and MTV and reality TV view of what, well, I shouldn't say MTV because they're basically dead at this point, but they have a reality TV view of what wealth is because the TV and the narrative machine creates a view of wealth for people so that they assume. Let me put it like this. Most ultra wealthy people flying private jets don't even own them. It's just a charter.
Starting point is 00:57:59 That's just, just you just charter them. It's like calling a taxi. and it's not that often. They call a broker and say, is it available? And the cost for a private jet, I would argue, is about two to three times the cost for a first-class ticket. So if you need to fly, so we flew the crew from West Virginia to New York when we did the big time square run. It was $13,000 for eight people. So it's a little bit more than first class would have been.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And that meant that we didn't have to wait for, I don't know if you went, Ian. I did. It's the entire day of work. Exactly. Instead of everyone going to the airport, waiting, and then it's like five hours to the airport, then land. We literally just 20-minute ride to the airport, walk on the plane, land, 20-minute drive, and we were at our destination. It cut down like four or five hours. And with, I think we had like nine seats because you're like, a person can actually sit in the bathroom. And so it's 13,000. So it's a little bit more than a grand per person, which a first-class ticket would have been seven or 800. So we were like, okay, it's going to cost us
Starting point is 00:58:59 maybe an extra four grand to bring everybody to New York, but it saves us a day of work. Yeah, you run the opportunity cost of the day of work that you would have spent going commercial and you actually come out ahead because there would have been more than four grand. There's like eight of us. If we all, you know, putting all eight employees for one day of work's probably worth $20,000 of labor, you know. I also feel like with Tucker, the story explained, what was it, the green book? Was that that movie where like it was like black people can only go to certain places
Starting point is 00:59:25 so they would give him like a green book? Yeah. I think with Tucker, because there's like 100, wasps left, like in the country probably. There's probably like a green book for wasps. And it's like you pull up to like Omaha. It's like here's your Cape Cod restaurant. You know, you can get a clam shatter here. And it's like no one else knows
Starting point is 00:59:39 about it except the wass because he could never go out to eat when he lived in D.C. Because he would just get harassed. This is why these things exist though. Because there are people where it's not me, but there are people like Tucker where if they go to any normal restaurant, it's going to cause a problem.
Starting point is 00:59:55 So they go to these special private, you know, high-end places. Speakees? Yeah, I was going to say that. And I want to stress this. I want to stress this. Another way you know you're in an actual fancy place, there are no prices on the menu. You go to somewhere and you think it's fancy and there's a price on the menu, you are at a like middle income.
Starting point is 01:00:12 So even, shout at the steak 48, they're fantastic, but the prices are all listed. So I'm going to be honest with you. I've gone to eat with people. We've gone to restaurants and they don't list the prices. They don't know or care what the bill is going to be. It doesn't even occur to them. And then when the server comes to you, back over, they don't even hand them a check, they just hold their card up. They never even
Starting point is 01:00:34 look at the bill. They never ask for the check. They say, you can run it. And then they come back and they just say, you're good, gratuity's included. I do that to Denny's. Right. Everybody has their scale, you know what I mean? Well, it's like these really expensive steakhouses and then like fish houses where you go and it's like market price for everything. Yeah, market price makes sense though because important stuff. Yeah. Yeah, but there are. You just order the crab cake and you're like, eff it, man, whatever it costs.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Right. And it's $80. Like, there are, there are a lot of places in New York that are fake speakeasies.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Oh, yeah, it's terrible. Yeah. Pretty much all the speakeisies that people know about are fake speakeasy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:10 And, but it actually is interesting because there's, uh, there's like one in the lower east side goes, I don't know if it's still there, apothecary. Delicious.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Yeah. It's, it's pretty well known. But when you're walking down the street, it looks like a disgusting hobo alley. Is that the one we walk down steps? Dude, There's so many cool speakeas in New York.
Starting point is 01:01:28 There's one where it's like a vending machine. You have to walk through a coffee shop. Yeah, you're like going through a Walgreens. Like, is there a bar around here? And it's like, sir, you need to go to jail. I was a speakeasy in L.A. This was years and years ago. We had to enter through like the kitchen of a Korean barbecue restaurant.
Starting point is 01:01:48 It was awesome. I'd rather just have the Korean barbecue. We thought about it. Oh, you know what we got to do? Mary's idea for a North Korean barbecue. Oh, yeah. that was me really good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:57 I still like. And like you'll order a pound of beef and we bring you like a quarter pound. And we're like, what do you mean? Every once in a month the server just kills you by touching your face. The servers are all dressed like Kim Jong-un. They wipe your face. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah. This is a pro tip for anyone in the crowd. If you're like, if you're on like a night out with the squad, one way to get morale really high to hype up the squad really quickly is go to the bar pre-pay for like a bucket of beers and then tell them when they bring the beers to the table to say this is on the house. That is a killer moves.
Starting point is 01:02:27 And they bring the bucket of beers out. And then they go like, this one's on the house. Table gets high, morale improves. I think it's the poor man equivalent. That's the working class equivalent to the steakhouse with no labels. My favorite is when you go to the bar and you say, drinks for everyone. They all cheer.
Starting point is 01:02:41 But then you just make them pay their own bills. Yeah, that's a good one too. Tim, are you familiar with the poor man's first class? What's that? It's when no one books the middle seat. I know it well. You get the window seat hyped up when he says to be honest. I'm all about steak.
Starting point is 01:02:55 night at the eagle. Let me tell you guys. See, sometimes it's all about the secrets. And the secret is a standard economy seat in a plane where no one books the middle or the aisle seat next to you is better than first class. Oh, yeah. You lift the arm up and you can lay down. Oh, I'll get up. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:15 I have to pay for my champagne still. True. After they, yeah, I guess. I don't drink. And you get nicer snacks in first. Yeah, but the first class. The first class snacks are those like grain fig bars and popcorn. Oh, they're phoning it in nowadays.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Yeah, but now they don't even give pretzels anymore half the time. It's always those stupid soy oil biscoff crackers. I know, I had to like get on my knees and bag for a bag of mixed nuts, like a dog. Like, it's a part of the... They give me mixed nuts and I go to sleep and I wake up, I got mixed nuts. I'm like, what is this? I don't want this. Now I'm responsible for these nuts. They can't even give you a full-sized pretzel.
Starting point is 01:03:52 It's mini pretzels. They don't even give you the keys. They don't even give you the can anymore. They poured in and then save the other half for the next past. Are we in a recession? What's going on? Is this like the Soviet Union? Give me the can.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I paid like a hundred bucks. And they fill it up with their nasty ice that you know has got something in it. Disgusting. It's like getting coffee on a plane. You never do that. I do it. Did you guys see that Spirit wants to do standing room planes? Oh no.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Okay. So it was Ryan Air. Ryanair, there you go. To his defense, he went on there. And he was like, if I sold these things. he said he went on British television and they were like how could you possibly come up that's so evil that just shows you're out of touch and he says I guarantee you I get this approved and I sell these for $2. It's going to be the first one of it was 20 bucks wasn't it? He said it was going to be
Starting point is 01:04:36 two pound and you could stand there and he said I guarantee you all those seats will sell no way for two I thought he's 20. He went on TV and he's like if I sell him for two he's like those all sell it first so he's like call me evil he's like they'll sell it first yeah I can't say these commies you know what I mean like everyone should be allowed listen some people can't afford a plane ticket and they would sit in the cargo hold if they could because we have people who try. Yeah. So let them stand up if they want to. What I do think is great is the interlocking seats. Have you seen this? Oh yeah. Where they basically lift one seat up because that means in economy you get more legroom. They fit more seats in and everybody gets more legroom. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Yeah, because when they want to do that because they want to demoralize us. Oh, right. Yeah. It's all about just ruining your life. If it's a $20 ticket, you can break my legs. Just show me my super. All right, guys, guys. Let's jump to the story from Mediites. Laura Trump teases president has UFO speech ready and waiting after Obama admits aliens are real. So it's confirmed. Your podcast that you've discussed with the president is UFOs.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Do you think that he's about to make an announcement about UFOs? Because President Obama was just on a podcast talking about how he believes in UFOs and hinting that he saw something. The compression's killing me. Well, I said this in my podcast, too. What's funny is we've kind of asked my father-in-law about this because we're like, well, what do you know? Because Miranda, we all want to know about the UFOs or we all want to know what's going on.
Starting point is 01:06:06 And he played a little coy with us. And so that, of course, led us to believe, Eric and I were like, oh, my gosh, if he won't even like fully tell us, maybe there's more to it. And then I have just heard kind of around that I think. I think he's actually said, I think my father-in-law has actually said it, that there is some speech that he has that I guess at the right time. And I don't know when the right time is. He's going to break out and talk about and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life, so to speak. I just, you know, I look at things from the perspective of the vastness of our universe.
Starting point is 01:06:45 And I'm a kind of a numbers person. I don't get nervous flying because the odds are. very much in your favor flying, the odds that anything will happen to you are far greater in a car than they ever will. We get the rest. But I actually, I think there is a decent probability that Trump is, so I believe Trump does have a speech. I believe that the speech in all probability has to do with just standard military technology
Starting point is 01:07:10 and national security threats. But I believe there is probably a decent probability, what this could be like 0.02 or something, that it is actually about extraterrestrial intelligence. And the reason why I entertain this is actually possible, meaning like what, one in a thousand, one in 2000, is that Donald Trump, or I should say, the media and our culture has for some time now been floating that aliens are real and no one cares. Like the Obama statement was potentially a trial balloon. Obama says, of course, they're real, but no one cared. Then he walks it back and says, no, no, no, I just meant that they're probably really. real. I think we're at the point where if there really were aliens, the government could
Starting point is 01:07:53 announce it and no one would care. They would be like, oh, wow, we were waiting for that. Michael Schellenberger reported like two years ago that there were multiple whistleblowers who not only had recovered craft, but also human biologics. And everyone was just like, eh, okay. I think you're right. I'm interested to find out if they're, you know, what the government knows, I'm not particularly convinced that there is something without some kind of evidence. I don't think they'll ever admit it publicly because one of the concerns, and I asked some of these people who are big into UAPs about it back when we used to have them on Rising, they would say that the U.S. government and the military would be worried about tipping their hand if they
Starting point is 01:08:36 had some kind of technology that they assumed was extraterrestrial, but actually was some other nations more advanced technology than the U.S. has. And so they would never want to admit that. What was the tweet where it was like, if they ever confirmed there were aliens, the Chinese would have recipes the next day? We don't want that to happen either. We recently did a video at the Daily Caller where we sent out Edgar the puppet and we did green card test for immigrants around D.C.
Starting point is 01:09:05 And we asked them a variety of like very American questions, like where does the shortstop stand point on the baseball field? But we had a sign that had a cat, a dog, a hot dog, and I forget what the fourth thing was. And it was point to the objects on this picture that you're allowed to eat. And what do they point to? Well, actually, the Chinese girls that were interviewed had a really good sense of humor, and they just pointed at all of them really quickly and they're laughing. It's like, yeah, we're joking.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Yeah, but my favorite one, though. Just kidding. My favorite question, though, was asking them to pronounce lovel. And they all said, Louisville. Louis Villa. Yeah. I've always said, because this has to be said,
Starting point is 01:09:46 I didn't say this at the top of the show. We are at the 25th anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt. And I think that should be if like tears don't swell on your eyes. The intimidator. Oh, there's no laughing matter. This is no laughing matter.
Starting point is 01:09:57 If tears aren't swelling in your eyes thinking about Dale Arnhart, then I think you should be deported, quite frankly. Everybody. Everyone. Everyone. I don't care where you were born. I mean, look, if you're getting...
Starting point is 01:10:05 If you're asked what your favorite sport is and you say anything other than baseball, it's just you're gone. Yeah. Yeah. Any soccer fans. Hockey. Oh, you better believe you're going. Right back to Canada. The SQ needs to be answered the soccer question.
Starting point is 01:10:19 What are we going to do with these people? Get rid of them. Soccer is, I look at soccer like the al-my balls of sports. Because I remember, you know, I don't watch it because it's stupid. And I like baseball. And to a lesser extent, football. But baseball, if I'm going to watch a sport, it's going to be baseball. But I remember when I was advice, we were watching the World Cup.
Starting point is 01:10:41 because like Brazil had got that blowout where they were crying. Yeah. And then people in the stands were like losing their minds. And the thing about baseball is it's like their strategy. They got, you know, they're the commentator talking about like, oh, they're going to switch the pitcher out. And then they're talking about the stats and there's all these numbers and we're like doing math and writing things out.
Starting point is 01:10:57 And then there's like with most sports, you've got the fantasy stuff where people are calculating sense. And then soccer is like, he's running left. Then he's turning around. Then he's turning around again. Run fast kick ball. It's literally a sport for monkeys. Also, it's just bag and forth. nonstop and I'm like, this is boring. Soccer is the easiest way to explain to people the insanity
Starting point is 01:11:15 of the American immigration system. Because if you look at the U.S. national team or soccer team, there's a player, he's like the midfielder, Eunice Musa. And he was born in New York City, he moved and he was like a month old. When they ask him, why was he born there? He's like, yeah, my mom was like in vacation on vacation in New York City and had me. It's like really a nine month pregnant. What about the vacationing in New York City? You saw the recent reporting about the Chinese. You saw the recent reporting about the Chinese birth like citizenship factories where it's like hundreds of babies per week or whatever
Starting point is 01:11:47 are born here and shipped right back to China. Yeah. So that way they can move here as citizens. Yeah. And the only benefit is like, okay, well, crush is like in the math Olympics and that's really it. Same thing with soccer. It's like, okay, let's maybe bring some Brazilians in
Starting point is 01:11:58 for like tourism purposes. Did you guys ever hear the conspiracy theory that the gray aliens are just Chinese people from the future? I'm not, that's not a joke. It's not a long. It's literally not a joke. There are people who like online, there's conspiracy theories that the reason the gray aliens
Starting point is 01:12:11 like they've got big heads and they're gaunt and they have big eyes. And people believe, no, they believe that in the future, China takes over and it's a bunch of Asians and they go back in time and they're wasting away their bodies because they use technology and they're actually just Asians. Well, because there's that point. Someone made this point. It's a very salient point. You never see pregnant Asians. Like they just stay home. Is that true? They just spawn. They hide until, yeah. Until winter. Spawn points, well, one guy, one guy on 20. We're not allowed to get pregnant. You're not supposed to know that. Well, I don't know. I don't know if maybe I'm like treading.
Starting point is 01:12:45 I might get killed on the way. My spawn point was in Chicago. Wow. Yeah, it's actually just a giant statue of Godzilla. And you just sort of appear there one day. And you're 18. I was going to say you're fully clothed. Fully clothed adult.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Because we live in a simulation and the Asians are in control. Well, because one guy posted on Twitter, this was recently posted a picture of a pregnant Asian woman. And everyone was like, at Grock. This is AI. So actually they? who is they? It's Koreans. Right. And it's actually South Koreans. They control everything. And it's so true.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Try to debunk that. You can't. The Koreans. We did a great talk with Kangman Lee last week about that very thing. That proves it. That the Koreans are ruling everything? Yeah, he's deep. He's not a South Koreans. Very, very Christian. My question is, though, are aliens speaking to people in their brains with this DMT laser experiment where people are seeing the data?
Starting point is 01:13:34 Oh, those are Koreans. And then they're doing bubble cymatics in a lab somewhere, and they're all surrounding this giant bubble. And the aliens are speaking to us through this bubble by sending either... You got to talk into the microphone, brother. Or low frequency. I know you could hear me. But I'll be more clear.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Yeah. So are we like adapting that psychoanalysis and manifesting it in like bubble cymatic form? And that's how we're like communicating with the aliens in Alpha Centauri. So they're giving us information. But they're not here. But they're here. It's like if you call me, it's like I, you know, I know you're not here. And it's always so interesting that these massive like nefarious government programs are always in the most innocuous locations.
Starting point is 01:14:08 Like this bubble cymatic that you're, you know, you know, you know, you're describing is probably outside of like St. Louis. Yes, it's right. It's, like, it's... You always expect them to be like, you know, like in Virginia. But it's always like in a random location. Like, this bubble cymatic is probably like, I don't know, outside of the arch. Stargate, only from a satellite at a certain angle.
Starting point is 01:14:23 The arch is the portal. Can you see the language? Is it the arch the portal? I've heard that. I've heard if you pass through, you don't come out. Well, it's not on. Oh. Yeah, it's got to be on. I just start to think there's aliens.
Starting point is 01:14:32 There's got to be on. The Cardinals are performing that season. I'm starting to think that the aliens are real, dude. They're just, why? I will state, I don't know, just look for a wrench of things. I'll state with 100% certainty there are no aliens. Why? I think they're demons.
Starting point is 01:14:43 I think that basically means the same thing, though. What? It's just, it's just a, it's extra, non-human intelligence, right? Okay. Yeah, higher frequency. Aliens and demons in my mind are interchangeable in concept. Oh, sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:01 And angels? Yeah. They could be working together. Yeah. The angels and the demons? It's like a galactic war. Yeah, there's an ancient alien episode about that. About the angels and demons being.
Starting point is 01:15:10 It's like when you get that one of your buddies is. This is getting heretical very quickly. I'm uncomfortable. While Ian's here, so. If your buddy's a dick, you're still going to work with him because he's your buddy. So angels and demons, you know? I don't think that's correct. For posterity, for posterity because my pastor tends to watch the show.
Starting point is 01:15:28 I do not think the angels and demons are working together. And I don't think there's, there's just no aliens. There's no like, it's just like, the interstellar travel is. the stars are way too far apart for me to buy it. Like, I mean, look, it's possible there's, there's physics that we haven't discovered. There's the things that we don't understand. But if Einstein is absolute.
Starting point is 01:15:47 It's absolute this physics we haven't discovered. Yeah, okay, so fair enough. But if Einstein is right, like, the speed of light isn't just the speed of light. It's the speed of causality. It's the speed of cause and effect. Like, it takes eight minutes for the light from the sun to get to the earth. And if the sun, if the sun disappeared, not only would it would it take eight minutes for the light to get here for us to know, but it would take eight minutes for the
Starting point is 01:16:10 effect of gravity to get here, too. So the speed of light isn't going around. Yeah, the speed of light isn't just the speed, it's not the speed, just the speed limit of light. It's the speed limit of everything. And the distances are so vast. You know what Star Trek got wrong and Star Wars and all these warp drive? Warp drive is some 1950s BS Einstein garbage, where they're like, What if we use, you know, like some kind of dense energy to warp space time and then we move in between space time like a golf ball moving through a large hose that you squeeze. And it's like that's 1950 stuff. You want to know how we actually do it? We need to find the markers that signify our coordinates in the universe in the data.
Starting point is 01:16:53 And then we just backspace, backspace, backspace, 139, enter. And then take just appears in the side of the planet. Yeah, that's literally, I think, how you do it. lay lines. True way to say it, but what you do is you'd map the matrix of where you want to go, the XYZ axis of what, you'd map in this cube of reality, what is in every point in this box, what it is, how much of it there is, and where it is. And you map those three things.
Starting point is 01:17:20 You just needed to edit the value in the code set. You can recreate that value locally, yeah. I've had this anti-teleportation position for a while now because you would get arrested for exposure because when you teleport you would be naked, because your clothes are a part of you. If it could teleport your clothes with you, then how do you separate your shoes from the ground? Then you just teleport everything with you when you try. No, no, no, no, no. You don't understand. When you show up, I don't want to do that. I would get like the universal data set has your equipment on your body as one thing. But how can it separate my shoes from like my
Starting point is 01:17:49 because they are different values? But how does it know? Because the, in the universe, the tape value includes a subset of items that the universe is distinct from. But how can it differentiate the shoes? Because they're two different data files. I see. It's like saying, how can I have a music video from, you know, men at work and from Britney Spears, both of them I compare at the same time. How does it know? And it's like, because there's a start and to stop to both of them.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Yeah, it would have defined boundaries between. And would you still be okay with teleporting places if you would teleport there and arrive naked? Oh, yeah, dude. I thought that was going happening anyway. Yeah, but hold on, hold on. By that, by that virtue, then all of your gut bacteria, all of the non, like, that concept doesn't work because there are things inside your body that are not connected to your cells. I need those.
Starting point is 01:18:38 There's a difference between inside and out your body and just because something's in your stomach doesn't mean it's inside your body. Or a part of your body. And so the argument would be that, okay, well, if it's in your body, then it goes with you, then I'll just eat a shirt. I will stuff it in my mouth. Right. You know what I'll do?
Starting point is 01:18:52 I'll get like a very thin mylar jumpsuit. Roll it up super tight, put my mouth, teleport, and into like an alley and then pull it out and I would wear that very thin mylar suit until I can go find some real clothes. go. I think you could code the Milar to go with you, but then you could also code and arrive in a different outfit than you left in, I think. Right. You know what I love is that in Star Trek, the lore is actually that when you get
Starting point is 01:19:14 beamed up, you die? Yeah. Did you guys know that? Really? Yeah. And then your body is reconstituted from memory, and it's just different. Instead of the Canadian Made program, should we do that? Be like, you guys can volunteer to go one-way teleport. We don't know if you're going to survive when you get there, but we think it's going to work. Yeah, that was Alex Stein's proposal.
Starting point is 01:19:34 I mean, the made program's pretty dark. At least this gives them a chance, you know. Maid program is extremely dark. Yeah, people that are like on their last legs anyway, go through. Not on their last legs. A kind of wonk perspective on teleportation. On teleportation? Let's jump to this next story.
Starting point is 01:19:50 This is a wild story. That's our mediate. Crockett throws Colbert under the bus. Federal government did not shut down this segment. Guys, this story is crazy. And I would actually argue that it's criminal because I, I believe it constitutes fraud. Now, I'm being careful because I don't know for sure.
Starting point is 01:20:07 But here's what happened. Colbert goes on his show and lied and claimed that CBS told him he could not have this Democrat Telerico on his show because of equal time rules. The Trump administration didn't want you to see this interview, Telerico says on X. As it turns out, CBS publicly stated wrong. We simply told Colbert that if he did the interview, it could trigger equal time laws, which would mean Jasmine Crockett would have to be booked on his show. Or they said, here are some ideas to give her equal time. He lied and claimed Trump blocked him.
Starting point is 01:20:46 And he did this so that he could drum up this public support. And it is being reported now that Talariko raised $2.5 million from their hoax. So Colbert goes on his show and lies about the federal government, tricking people into believing the government was censoring a Democrat and he raised tons of money when in reality, the only person being censored was Jasmine Crockett
Starting point is 01:21:12 and was censored by Colbert himself. That's got to be illegal. This is wild. It is pretty good. It's cheating at the very least. CBS, I believe, had already released their initial statement about what happened before Tala Rico
Starting point is 01:21:24 even made that post too. So he already knew that he was lying. And I mean, similar thing, happened back when the FCC threatened, was it Kimmel with the news distortion clause? Basically, for a long time, the FCC gave a lot of leeway to these late night shows because they reviewed as entertainment, but the interviews that they did with politicians were considered bona fide news interviews, which you get an exception under these various clauses,
Starting point is 01:22:00 including the equal time rules. But they're not bona fide news interviews, as we've seen, right? Like, if these people go on there and they start joking around or they play a game with one another, all of a sudden you lose that exemption. But the FCC just hasn't done anything about it. Now they're actually doing something about it. And CBS obviously is acutely aware of the fact that they are violating these rules. And not only do they not want to give Jasmine Crockett the seat, but whoever else is in that
Starting point is 01:22:28 primary, any of those low-level candidates, would also be subject to this. I actually saw Caitlin Collins went on Colbert and defended Talarico and Stephen Colbert by saying, well, would any of these, would people want conservative talk radio or Republican talk radio to have to give equal time to Democratic candidates? She clearly doesn't know anything about GOP talk radio because, yes, they do invite the Democratic opponents every time they invite a Republican on. And they would love to have a Democrat on their show so they could rip them to shreds and ask them difficult questions. She's just never seen it because the Democrats don't go on platforms that they don't agree with.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Yeah, I got for you guys here 18 USC 1343. Whoever having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire radio or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writing, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds, for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice shall be fined under this title or imprisoned, not more than 20 years or both. Now, the question is, does, I believe wire is covered under internet, and the argument,
Starting point is 01:23:49 the question then is, under 18 U.S.C. 1343, did Tala Rico and Colbert devised this scheme to obtain money through false or fraudulent pretenses transmitted over wire. Indite him. That's tough to prove. How is it tough to prove? Because he did the go fund me after it happened. They raised, so as as everybody mentioned, Tala Rico knew CBS said we never barred this. And then he said, here's what Trump doesn't want you to see and raise $2.5 million.
Starting point is 01:24:22 I don't think it's hard to prove at all. You got to see between CBS and this Tala Rico guy, what their communications literally were, because it may have been a truth that exists in reality that he didn't know about. I don't think that's hard to prove at all. You go to a jury and say, hey, they should have had Jasmine Crockett on under equal time, but they claimed CBS barred them. Here's the letter that was sent from CBS to Colbert before the show aired saying he's not being barred from doing the interview.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Why did they both then pretend CBS did bar them from doing it? They're lying. because Colbert got the notification from CBS lawyers before doing the show. In fact, Colbert, you know what, this is a slam dunk. Colbert stated he actually, after he said every script is approved, and after he spoke, they called him backstage for notes on what he was legally allowed to say. He tried making it seem like they agreed with what he was saying instead of just telling him it was legally allowed to say certain things.
Starting point is 01:25:19 But that's Colbert stating outright that he had conferred with the legal team and he knew full well, he was allowed to do the interview and it was not blocked by Donald Trump. Now, the Donald Trump is the important question because if CBS said, you can do the interview, but you got to interview, Jasmine Crockett, in no way did CBS insinuate that Trump barred him from doing it. It was a letter from CBS's lawyers, not from the FCC. So for Colbert to then say, Trump's FCC is doing this and for Talarico to say, here is the interview, Trump doesn't want you to see. now that's knowingly lying. Yeah, it sounds like they're back in their radicalized little dome talk and they're like,
Starting point is 01:26:00 oh, Trump's FCC is making it, you know, it's Trump is making them do this. And they're like, all right. And then they just get it in their head that it's literally Trump. And when they go public and say it, they're making a false claim. But I think they've always known this because you think back 2016, Jimmy Fallon, when he, the Fallon on the Tonight Show. And he had Trump on, but then he also had like Mark Arubio on. He had, I think Jeb Bush went on, Chris Christie went on.
Starting point is 01:26:22 Like they knew Trump. Trump was box office, we got to bring them on. They don't want to bring Mark. Who cares what Mark Ruby has to say on the Fallon show, but they have to. So this has been a longstanding understanding in late night television that, yeah, you have to bring these people on. So that's all they were communicating to Colbert. And it's not a Republican. It's Jasmine Crockett. Stop making me defend Jasmine Crockett. Yeah. Of all people. When's the last time Jasmine Crockett was correct? Come on. It just made it obvious that the establishment is keenly aware that she is an electoral
Starting point is 01:26:48 nightmare. And they're running in Texas already raised her to them. You know why they want Teller Rico in Texas? Why? Because he is a Democrat masquerading as a Christian conservative. Yes. Right. But it's crazy because he doesn't even pass a sniff test right away because he literally, he had the opportunity.
Starting point is 01:27:03 He's on Colbert. You know, presumably these clips would circulate on right wing or Christian circles. Nope, doesn't matter. And he gets up there. And instead of like, at least trying to hide the ball a little, but he's like, Christians should support abortion and Christians should support gay marriage because Christians must be happy. Because that audience on Colbert is all Democrat.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Right. And so what they're trying to do is get Democrats. to be like, okay, well, he's on our side. And then in the streets of Texas, they're going to be like, oh, yeah, but Teller Rico is a Christian. And he's like very devout. And no one's going to hear what he says. And then when he goes to churches, he's not going to say any of that stuff.
Starting point is 01:27:36 The other thing that's so annoying and stupid about this, about his statement is the way he phrased it as his FCC refused to air my interview. The FCC doesn't air things. Yeah. Yeah. If the FCC warns you, you shouldn't do something. CBS can still tell them to kick rocks and. do it and take the fine or the punishment or whatever it is, they don't get to dictate what
Starting point is 01:27:57 gets broadcast on the front end. Yeah. It's just, I mean, it's just trying to cover their ass and I think that there's probably a good case to, you know, indict them. That was even with the Kimmel suspension, like the media, the way they were presenting it was at the FCC suspended Kimmel. It's like, no, it was the broadcaster suspended Kimmel. Again, okay, maybe they were trying to dodge, you know, fines or whatever from the FCC,
Starting point is 01:28:21 but that was not the FCC's decision. You can't. There's no way. There's no mechanism that they could exercise here. Colbert is an evil guy. Yeah. You know, but what I will say is this is at this point, I don't know how much matters other than at least they're willing to destroy their enemies, and the right certainly is not.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Yeah. Colbert is another example, like Tolarika, of this guy who just does this, like, Christianity, Larp and, like, actually has zero. How does that make you feel? It's offensive. I'm quite comfortable saying, yes, I am triggered when I see. Italarico, again, just wear my faith as a skin suit.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Same. It's absolutely horrific to see because it's the complete opposite. He was like, you know, Christ wants you to be happy, et cetera, et cetera. It's like actually Christ's core message, what it is, what is the actual prerequisite for salvation? It's denying yourself. The opposite of denying yourself is an abortion because an abortion, oh wait, this baby
Starting point is 01:29:09 is going to potentially cost me a promotion so I should kill it. That is the complete opposite of denying yourself. You're literally sacrificing human being at the altar of your life. It's just like those anti-I's protesters who went into the church and went after the pastor because they believed he was affiliated with ice and all of the Democrats justified it by saying, well, he's hypocritical if he's working with ICE to deport people because we need to be welcoming and nice to people. And it's such this like
Starting point is 01:29:33 surface level BS reading of the Bible. Yeah. Pick and choose which little parts. This is literally a meme on the Christian right where we point out that people who don't actually care about the faith or read the Bible or go to church on a regular basis will intentionally manipulate. to try to get Christians to do what they want. Yeah. Like they literally are like Joseph and Mary were refugees. I'm like Joseph was going back to where he was from. They were going to register for the census.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Yeah. Like anyone that has any knowledge of biblical, of the Bible, knows that Joseph was from Bethlehem. That's why he had to go back. It was the opposite of a refugee. If anything, he was deported from Nazareth. Like, what are we doing here? It's just utterly, I feel like a crazy person sometimes when I see these people.
Starting point is 01:30:15 It's not you. It doesn't even require, it doesn't even require like any theological literacy. Just like any Christian that has a basic Sunday school understanding of the Bible, we'll see. Yes, Joseph is from Bethlehem. He's not a refugee. If anything, he's returning back to where he's from. Yeah, but this is something that the left does all the time. They will use your ideology or your principles against you.
Starting point is 01:30:34 They'll go ahead and say, oh. What about my free speech? I thought you believed in free speech. Yeah, exactly. They do that constantly. And they'll say they have no principles of their own. They're all just purely about power. And so they'll go ahead and try to use things that you care about against you,
Starting point is 01:30:48 even though they don't give a crap about it. Oh, well, yeah, Tala Rico, literally his entire statement was, the right is now the arbiter of cancel culture. And I'm bravely standing up. He literally said verbatim. I'm standing up to cancel culture. The correct answer for that is yes, fine. Yeah, and continue.
Starting point is 01:31:03 I actually have a bone to pick with Tala RICO going way back before all of this, because there was this profile, series of profiles, in one of the major news outlets. I think it might have been New York Magazine, but they did this photo shoot with all of the up and, incoming Democrats. They had this tufted red leather chair and they would take the chair around with them, around the country to meet these candidates and they would put the chair in a space that was supposedly like representative of the candidate. So for Maxwell Frost, they had it like on
Starting point is 01:31:33 the streets of DC. They took the chair to Texas. They put James Tolariko in it. It wasn't in a church. It wasn't anything to do with politics. They put them on a football field. So I'm thinking, okay, this guy must be like a football coach. Oh, that's cool. The Democrats finally got like a a real guy to run for Congress. And then I looked into his background, zero affiliation with football. He just lives in Texas. Well, to be fair, George Santos told that story, too, where, like, they just lie and make everything up.
Starting point is 01:31:59 And he said that they wrote that he was his volleyball star. What was the story that he told? He was at Brute College. He was, like, the captain of the volleyball team or whatever. Yeah, it's just made up. It was all lies. Yeah. Worked for Goldman Sachs.
Starting point is 01:32:10 It's funny because, like, his congressional is so relatable. Yeah, but to that degree, it's funny because in Congress, George was like, not, this is called not good, but he's a great guy, you know, you know, if you ever meet him in person. He's very charismatic. He's a nice guy. He's a good dude. They made an example out of him because he lied on his resume and 80% of Americans. Well, he was spending money. It was a little more complicated than that. Okay, sometimes you know you cook a little bit too much. Okay, I'll give you that. Well, sometimes you spend your campaign dollars on Botox. Sometimes you say, you know, sometimes you spent three months longer at a company. Sometimes you were the captain of the volleyball team.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Sometimes you buy your fake wife a house and marry her. for the exact amount of time it takes for her to get a green card. Republicans should have, while you're living with a man. It just happens. The Republicans should have turned a blind eye to everything that George Santos did because the Democrats would have done the same. And again, like.
Starting point is 01:33:00 I just thought he was funny. That's why. I do wish we had a sassy gay in Congress. For real. Enough Botox. You look good. Isn't it because of the Botox? I just, you're right where you need to be, brother.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Don't, no more in jet, none of that garbage fake plastic shit. There is like a Goldilocks zone. You're healthy man. Goldilocks. He's in the Goldilogs. You hit it. You hit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:21 But Tala Rico is literally like, I'm comfortable saying one of the worst people in American people. I've been wrestling with hypocrites, religious hypocrites, because it's like, don't say the Lord's name in vain. To me, that's like saying I'm a Christian when I'm not. You know, if I don't really believe it. That's not what that means. What? You know, like, you know, like, one of the ways you can do that is say, I believe in this thing when it's, when you do it. I think that it's like you have this interpretation of Christianity that only exists in your mind.
Starting point is 01:33:46 Yeah, you were saying that lying. isn't a sin. That would be it for vanity. Hey guys, hey guys, wait, look, I made a video that's really funny. Look at this. Look at this. Can someone explain to me what it is that Nancy Pelosi is doing? Is she?
Starting point is 01:33:57 Can you rewind it? I didn't see the beginning. Oh, yes. She's cooking the books. That's right. She has a pan and she's putting a book into it. Grock is a slice. And it floats for some reason.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Yeah, I don't like the way that moves. And we know her kitchen does not look like that. The kitchen's very nice. Yeah, where's that $30,000 freezer or whatever. Yeah, you're right. Why does it five burners on the stove? She's in a trailer. Dude, that's a funny.
Starting point is 01:34:22 Good catch. You know, maybe when you're rich, you get a custom built five burner stove. It's like, let me put my drying rack next to the stove. She's also gas powered. Wait, wait, wait. Those are electric grills with fire coming out of it. The drying rack is next to the stove instead of next to the sink. This lady's crazy.
Starting point is 01:34:39 She's senile. Can you make a fucking five books, but she's like, like, spinning plates. They're about to all. Also, the knobs on the cabinets on the right side are on like different sides. of the cabinet. It's like a drunk person designed this kitchen. Oh. Or like an AI. The hinge is next to the knob on the far right one. The outlets are the right way
Starting point is 01:34:56 up. Right. Which is weird. Big win. There's a lot going on here. There is a, I mean, Nancy Pelosi's correct. Can we dunk on Tala Rico some more? Yeah, dude. I want to talk about the Save Act. Okay. What about it? Let's do it. Here we go. We got this story from Fox News. Senator Lee dares Democrats to revive talking
Starting point is 01:35:15 filibuster over Save Act, slamming criticism as paranoid fantasy. This is exactly what I wanted to talk about. Let me just stress real quick, the country can be saved right now if the Republicans just nuke the stupid fake filibuster. They don't even have to do that. Okay, tell us. Take us home. Okay. They don't even have to do that. The talking filibuster is a rule already where, how it works is that they have to abide by the two speech rule. So if they do the talking filibuster, basically every member of the Senate gets the opportunity to make two speeches during, on the same legislative question, during the same legislative day. So you'd say, oh, well, certainly they could run out the clock
Starting point is 01:35:52 if it's on the same day because, you know, the 50, the 40-something Democrats could just all do two speeches and it would be over and then they'd have to restart the process. But no, because congressional rules say that in relation to legislative business, I am quoting directly from Congress.gov, the day during which a senator can make no more than two speeches on the same question is not a calendar day, but a legislative day. A legislative day ends only with an adjournment so that that whenever the Senate recesses overnight, rather than adjourning, the same legislative day continues into the next calendar day. So they could literally, like, force Democrats to give up by not allowing them to sleep or by refusing to adjourn the legislative session. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:34 And eventually, they would just get so tired, they would give up because nobody in Congress likes to work. No, they don't. Yeah, John Thune, you know. John Thune, if you can hear me, John Thune, please, if you can hear me, please save me. They're not going to do it. Because politics is fake. Every Republican wants it done. Every Democrat wants it done.
Starting point is 01:36:53 Every independent wants it done. And for some reason, Democrat members of Congress are like, nobody wants this. And this is the emperor has no close moment for truly everybody. Because every single person knows. Okay. The polling shows a range of between 70 and 80 percent of Democrats want voter ID. It shows that 80 percent of independents want voter ID and 95 percent Republicans want voter ID. and 95% Republicans want voter ID,
Starting point is 01:37:18 and everyone else is confused. And the Save Act, Democrats are like, no. Hold on, all of your constituents want it to pass. Yeah, but I'm going to be disenfranchised as a married woman who's changed her last name. Well, you know, that actually is a fair argument that women aren't smart enough to figure out
Starting point is 01:37:35 to file paperwork. We're all retarded. But unironically. I love that the Democrats always all back on. That's a good thing. That's actually a great policy. That's what I'm going for. Yeah, that's the other thing.
Starting point is 01:37:45 Well, you would want Mary. women to vote because they tend to vote Republican. It's the unmarried women you want to disenfranchise. So why do the Democrats always fall back on our constituents are stupid? They were doing it. They were saying that black people can't get IDs. They were saying that women can't get IDs. Why is it that they constantly are just like, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 01:38:01 Our constituents are stupid. They can't figure out how to do this. They actually think that. They have contempt for everyday Americans. I mean, why else would Joe Biden tell you you can't have a dryer that dries your clothes properly? Well, that's because Joe Biden's stupid. But he hates us.
Starting point is 01:38:16 they hate us and they want us to be miserable. That's why you can't have good shower pressure, water pressure in the shower, because they hate us. And then they make these toilets where... They can't flush properly. When you flush it, you've got to wash your hands above the toilet. You've seen these? There's a toilet, and then there's a spigga that comes up and the water comes down, and it fills the toilet up while you wash your hands, and then when it's done, you either flush the toilet again,
Starting point is 01:38:41 wasting even more water, or you don't get any more water. Things can get even worse. Have you seen in Europe where on the caps and then it's like attached? Yes. Okay. I have a great story about this. That's satanic. Okay.
Starting point is 01:38:51 So I used work for The Spectator, which is a British company. And so I had British co-workers. And one of my coworkers, I was telling him about this because I saw it on Twitter. And I was like, y'all are getting crazy with those water bottle caps over there. This is communism. And he was like, you're overreacting. It's not that bad. He went back to visit his family and went to London for a bit, had to get one of these water bottles at Heathrow
Starting point is 01:39:14 airport and when he got back to the United States he was like, you're right, it was freaking horrible. I thought you were gonna say something like he got chopped up by a machete while he was there or something. Well, he didn't run into any of the migrant rape gangs, luckily, but he did run into the awful water caps. That actually is good a political joke actually. That's actually
Starting point is 01:39:34 no, actually, I think you just accidentally wrote a great, you know, a political humor where it's like. Well, of course I didn't do it on purpose, woman. Yeah, you go like, you guys ever, you guys ever see those water bottles in Europe where the cap is stuck to the top? You can't take it off. I was like, I had a friend who didn't believe me. And so he was actually going on a trip to Europe.
Starting point is 01:39:49 And I was like, watch, when you go there, you're going to see these water bottles. And guess what happened? He got hacked to death by a migrant with a machete. But at least when the blade was coming for his neck, it severed the cap from the bottle. That's the video where as he's falling down, the cap is sliced off. His final breath. Or the little tab actually saves him. Yeah, his final breath, he sees his thank you.
Starting point is 01:40:10 Yeah, he holds the bottle up in the machete, hits the tab and gets stuck. And he's like, drag rises in the background. Yeah. I remember I went to Europe and that happened. I literally, like, I didn't care about the micropoc to like gnawed it off like a dog. I'm not going to live like. What's the new meme? Is it Amelia?
Starting point is 01:40:25 That's her name? Because they have this website where you're supposed to play a game to like warn you against domestic exchange. She's supposed to be the bad guy. Anti-Chuck. Yeah. And it's like a cartoon game. And you literally, they're like, this girl wants you to go to this anti-immigrant protest. And it's this like super cute, like all purple-haired.
Starting point is 01:40:43 art chick. Kind of goth chick. And you're supposed to say, like, no, I will not go to the protest. And if you say yes, they're like, careful, you could be thrown in jail for the rest of your life. Literally. But all of the people in the UK have started meming this girl. Oh, Amelia.
Starting point is 01:40:57 The hero. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's horrible. It's literally like Jim Crow laws for chuds. Like, we are by far the most oppressed group, probably. Have you guys, there's a viral video from a soccer game where there's like a white guy about to do a
Starting point is 01:41:11 penalty kick. And then a black guy runs up and shoves him. And he turns around and gets in his face. And then the ref runs up, defends the black guy and holds the yellow card in the face of the guy who got attacked. And they were like, this is basically Europe. This is Western civilization.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Yeah. Exactly what it is. It's the downfall. Yeah. So I'm saying of it. Well, look, whose fault is it? It's conservative Christian's fault. 100%.
Starting point is 01:41:30 You sat on the throne. And when the scorpion came to your door, you said, come on in. What do I care? And now your children are reaping the benefits of the world that you built. And still to this, day conservatives are demure.
Starting point is 01:41:44 I legitimately think it's conservative Christian women. To be honest with you. Well, me and Amber can cook on that. To defend the voting base. Like I make this point all the time with the Brits is like there's this tendency for Americans to be like, well, this is the government they voted for. I'm like at every turn, the Britain, by extension, Europeans have voted for less migration, less migration, less migration.
Starting point is 01:42:06 So all they are doing all they can do in a liberal democracy. Yeah. Which, in my opinion, was imposed on the West at large. after World War II. So it's like, there's not really much we can do because anytime you do chimp out, like the state comes down on you with the full weight. So it's like at every turn, everyone has voted correctly. Yes, we want less migration.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Yes, we want more conservative social policy. Like, think about before. Hillary though, right? Think about a book, before a booger. Obergefell is like California. They voted no. We don't want gay marriage. No, no.
Starting point is 01:42:35 Everyone is voting no gay marriage. And then boom and posed on you. Sorry, it doesn't matter. We also just voted for mass deportations. And then like a couple of blue-haired women in Minnesota go crazy and we're like, oh, maybe we shouldn't do that anymore because it makes them sad. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:42:50 I'm not going to throw Christian conservators under the bus because it's like they're just operating in the system that you gave them. There was the briefest of periods of some kind of Republican form of government. And very shortly after the foundation of the United States, it was not anymore. Yeah, electricity. That caused it. In my opinion, they wrote this government for pre-electricity. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Riding fucking horses in Washington, D.C. The conspiracy theory is that the Americans didn't win the revolution. What happened was is when the king and parliament found out that the Americans were proposing a system of governance where anyone could run, they said, so why are we wasting money fighting with them? We can literally just go there and fund elections. And so the conspiracy theory is that within about, you know, five, ten years, or maybe ten or twenty years, the British simply just funded candidates who would support the empire and then effectively relocated the center of military power for the empire in the United States and then
Starting point is 01:43:48 controlled the colonies. Well, if that were the case, the South would have decisively won the Civil War. Why? Because that's where the loyalist base was, and that's the British supported. Like, there was a much stronger sense of, like, Anglicanism in the South and these sorts of things. And in the run up to the Civil War, the British were much more aligned with the South than they were at the North.
Starting point is 01:44:05 So, like, the political capital would have all resided in the South, and they would have decisively came on that. I don't think so, because Britain had already banned slavery, so it was bad It wasn't about, for the British, it wasn't about slavery. It was just about, again. Right, I know. But for the British Empire, they'd already abolished slavery. So politically, they couldn't get behind the slave states.
Starting point is 01:44:22 This says that they did, though. They like, it was fairly explicit. The government remained neutral, but it was the industry bankers and the finance supported the South heavily. They invested in major holdings of Confederate bonds. Yep. About $3 million, $14.5 million in gold through an 1862 bond sale to the. Yeah, so like it wasn't Parliament saying we support the South, but like, every institution in Britain was like
Starting point is 01:44:44 it was in their interest for the South to be precisely victorious. Then we combine them. The key is right here layers of flavor. So it's about building the right foundation? Exactly. Then we combine them. The key is right here. Layers of flavor. That's nice. I like that a lot. So this is Nancy Pelosi. But you know it's not fair though because Gordon Ram's a good dude. I don't want to imply that he's
Starting point is 01:45:06 teaching her to do evil because it should be the other way around actually. Pelosi should be demanding Gordon do it and Gordon should be saying no. It's tastes like shit. Here we go. It's if and roll. Have her cook the book. He thinks it's raw.
Starting point is 01:45:20 You got a winner of a scale. It's crazy how he acted on that one show. And then if you like you watch his Instagram stories or his reels or whatever, he's like such a nice dude. Oh yeah. Like when they have kids on the show and he's like a sweetheart. One of my favorite episodes of like kitchen rescues is when he finds this hole in the wall restaurant. And it's like his old like Caribbean grandma. And she's got this tiny hole in the wall with like two tables.
Starting point is 01:45:41 And he's just like I can't. can't believe how good this food is and nobody knows it's here. And it says little old lady at a restaurant. I've seen it. Oh, yeah. She went viral. So like during the OJ Simpson trial where like a lot of black Americans, they viewed it as a wedge issue, so they just got behind OJ just purely because it turned into like kind of a cultural thing. I had a micro version of this in college where we were like sitting around.
Starting point is 01:46:01 It was like a bunch of white and black guys and we were all sitting around watching kitchen nightmares. And there was this episode where he went to a restaurant, I think it was in Memphis actually. And at the front door they found a mouse, like a dead mouse laying right by the door. and the guy that was running the restaurant, this was like a soul food restaurant, immediately accused Gordon of like, hey, you planted this mouse here for television. This is like crazy. And then all the white guys in the room are like, wow, this is crazy. Like, this guy's so crazy for accusing Gordon Ramsey. And every black person in the room was like, yeah, he definitely planted that mouth.
Starting point is 01:46:30 And it was like a microcosm. I was like, this is what the OJ Simpson trial was like. Take a look at this. There you go. Wait, where does the sound go? No, it's too explicit. Oh, wait. Holissy, it's, you evil woman.
Starting point is 01:46:41 Cooking the books is wrong. It's just policy, Gordon. Policy, it's fraud. You're burning the books. You evil woman. Cooking the books is wrong. It's just policy, Gordon. Policy, it's fraud.
Starting point is 01:46:51 You're burning the books. I'm a double entendre. I'm going to download that. Gordon's a good man. This is accurate. All right, we're going to go to your Rumble Rance in Super Chat. So smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know.
Starting point is 01:47:02 And it really does help. And make sure you pick up the new Casperu Vault Black at casprue.com. No joke. It is a cold brew concentrate. So I say, mix it. You want to level out with water to taste. We originally worked on these single serving ones.
Starting point is 01:47:19 So I actually, I thought up my head, don't have the actual ratio. But I think it's like, you know, a couple, like two ounces of vault black with like eight ounces of water or something. It's a concentrate. But you'll figure it out. You'll figure it out.
Starting point is 01:47:32 And check it out of casper.com. In the meantime, we're going to grab your rants and chats and see what you guys are on about. All right. Drew Bias Maximus says, first-time super chatter per Timcast tradition. My wife and I are back from the hospital with baby number three. We are 28 and 27 married almost seven years,
Starting point is 01:47:49 planning on homeschooling based. Welcome to the world, little tiny patriot. But this whole baby routine, go-go-gagga, I can't walk. Not going to cut it. We're in a fight for our lives right now. Get active. Get after. Make a Twitter account.
Starting point is 01:48:03 Start tweeting at. Wrap it in a bulletproof blanket like Riley games. Yeah, exactly. Go to the protest. Walk in a little one. Wait, wait, wait, everybody. another super chat from Matt FTL. He says,
Starting point is 01:48:13 keeping the tradition going. I'm sitting in the recovery room with my wife and our first daughter. Wow. We have two boys and a girl. This is very white-pilling. Patriot, welcome to the world again. We need you like it's time.
Starting point is 01:48:24 It's game time. Let's go time. Skyline 99 says laugh tracks work on low IQ people. That was really funny. It's true. They do. I need subtitles IRL and like
Starting point is 01:48:36 subway surfers footage just playing in the bottom of my vision so I can really lock in. Gen Z is. so retarded that they can't just look at a person's face as they talk. They have to watch Subway Surfer or like some video game. Yeah. Not wild. So you're going to do for my morning show now, at least one of my segments, I'm going to try out just playing video games while I record. Yeah. I think that would work. Or just have like a TikTok. I don't know what they're
Starting point is 01:49:02 called. Auto play. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's just like on the side. It's just TikTok videos. That's a good idea. Can I do that? I'm going to try that and see what happens. There was this one YouTuber. His name was... Aside skateboarding videos. Just general interest. There was this one YouTuber's name was, I think it was redeemed Zumer, and he was discussing these really high-level theological ideas. Of course, no one's going to, like, tune in if he's just sitting there talking to the camera. But then he realized if he's playing Minecraft while he was doing it, then a lot of these guys who otherwise would have never tuned in to like any theological discussion were like all of a sudden becoming like amateur theologians because they were watching
Starting point is 01:49:37 him and the Minecraft was what engaged them, but then they were listening to them talk. I'll just play poker. I'll play on a club WPT. I'll play some online poker while talking politics. Yeah. There you go. And then people are watching, you know, micro gambling. That's the culture war.
Starting point is 01:49:52 That's the culture victory when you start getting like you're saying, you brainwash people through, you let their car down. You know, I'm super good at trials. You guys ever play trials? No. Negative. Is that that motorcycle? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:05 I'm like super good at it. It's tough. That game's hard. Yeah, so we just need to get Gen Z into that game so that I can play that while talking because I can play that game forever. Any game, I think, where they can watch you just do stuff, repeat stuff, and they know the context of what's happening.
Starting point is 01:50:19 They don't just see like a database of numbers. That stream did quite well where you just dominated me and Andrew at Smash Bros for like an hour. It didn't really, to be honest. Yeah, but there was a lot of, it did something. Eh, what happened? But it was a holiday. It was like 4th of July, and I was like,
Starting point is 01:50:33 instead of, there's no news, everyone's on vacation, let's just play Smash Brothers. You were just mercilessly beating. I'm not very, I'm like, I don't know, C-minus at Smash Bros. Like, any new player is going to get crushed. He's just trying to make me an Andrew feel bad. Anybody who actually is good at the game would crush me in two seconds, but any average player who plays, like, casually, I'll probably destroy it.
Starting point is 01:50:53 You obliterate at me. I could, I stop playing you because it was just beating after beating. I'm like, dude, now I know how you feel when I play you in magic. And then he bought a bunch of new cars and I couldn't beat. That's why we need, like, none of these... Ian's making that of the consoles of Madden. I always had good cards. We had Madden installed.
Starting point is 01:51:05 I could finally feel good about myself. I could look at the air. I can just insult it. Oh, I play Halo. You can down the NASCAR game. Tim Cassie got two vehicles in it. I love to play Madden. Yeah, shout to Cody Denison.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Yo, if we could get a big crew, people playing actual Madden and we're all in like the same team and we're playing against. Yeah, 11, all 11 players. That'd be wild. I want to be QB. Yeah, I'll play like right tackle.
Starting point is 01:51:24 You can be right hard, dude. Just on the line. Pancake, dude. Yeah, I love that. I'll press. That shows you have a servant's heart that you want to be a line. Guard the nest. You had the second.
Starting point is 01:51:35 dibs for whatever position you want to do. I'll make them fast, you know, but like so I can drop back and then, you know, knock them down from the side. Love that. Perfect. All right, what we got here? KS. KS says, how come you haven't talked about the attack on 3D printing beginning in W.A. Washington State is trying to get AI software forced onto printers and criminal charges anyone who has files for two A items. Wow.
Starting point is 01:52:04 It's not good, man. I think New York is trying the same kind of stuff. You are? I call this in 2011 when they were talking about making it illegal to print guns. It's like, well, now when are they going to start going after the information? Because I have a machine at my house that I can do anything I want with in the privacy of my own home. So what are you going to make it illegal to get the information of the schematic? It's protected by the First Amendment to transmit information over the Internet, right?
Starting point is 01:52:27 It's protected by the Second Amendment to be able to make a gun. Like you can legally make, I think, two or three guns a year. You can send the cereal number off to the feds if you want. You know, it's perfectly legal to do all those things. The problem is that you can do this unmonitored with no regulation by the federal government. David Brickon says, when are we getting a Tate Brown holding it grounds coffee blend? Ooh. That's good.
Starting point is 01:52:53 We didn't think of that. That's really good. I did, but I couldn't make it not cheesy. We got to use Tate Brown holding it down, ground. Those three words of just holding it grounds. Well, the... Rounding it down. My actual pitch for Tate's coffee
Starting point is 01:53:06 was Tate Brown, blood and soil. I like that. True heritage American. Like a red velvet coffee? I can do that, you know? No cap. I think we can make it. I'll send you a bag on the side.
Starting point is 01:53:21 As long as I don't have to buy it, you just send it to send it to me for free. Already compromising your beliefs. Zumer Woffin? Should we make a Nick Fuentes coffee for him? That could be sure. That could be interesting. I don't know if we can make any jokes about that right now.
Starting point is 01:53:36 I'll have to wait for the uncensored portion. Yeah, I don't know. Did you guys see there's a viral clip where it's like Fuentes is ragging on Hitler? And then all these lefties are like Fuentes has abandoned Hitler or something? No. Yeah, something like that. Yep. Fuentes is a nuanced mofo.
Starting point is 01:53:53 All right. We got K.S. Corey says, I can see Lindsey Graham clapping like a seal in a corner right now. Well, I think the reason Lindsay Graham wants to invade Iran. is because he's hoping that a new government would legalize game marriage. Then he can finally come out. That was a joke. Although maybe he wasn't. You didn't play the laugh track, so I didn't get it.
Starting point is 01:54:12 Yeah. Oh. There it is. That was good. What's the deal with Lindsey Graham wanting to go? What's the deal with Lindsey Graham? Are you gay or not? Maybe it's just from South Carolina.
Starting point is 01:54:23 He's just a dandy. They're a little light and loaf. No offense to South Carolina. I'm a North Carolina heritage person. There are a little light and loafers when he goes south of the border, you know? Here we go. We have Captain Winky says, sorry, Tim, I designed interiors for private jets. These were 737-100s with sofa crescendas with TVs, chresendos, hot tubs, just haven't been in one bud. I am fully and keenly aware.
Starting point is 01:54:50 That being said, when you go to an FBI or, like I flew out of Chicago, and there was, I can't remember which it was a basketball team that had flown in a 37. These are large corporate, you know, teams, and they are few and far between. Most of the time when you go to an FBO, like if you go to Teterboro in Jersey, it's, you might see some G4s. You might see some like Lear Jets, Gulf Streams, things like that. The average, bro, I'm telling you, like, people who have money don't just burn money. That's why they have money. They fly on private jets because they're like, no, no, no, I don't care about a hot tub on my plane. It's like Amber was saying these pro ballers will be like,
Starting point is 01:55:31 like, I'm going to burn 500 grand right now for no reason. And then they go broke real quick. Certainly these things exist. Likely charters. The other thing, too, is like mega yachts. Guys, they're like, oh, Bezos owns the yacht. Yes. The ultra-rare, you know, billionaires do have yachts.
Starting point is 01:55:47 They are very, very rare. Most of the mega yachts you see are charters. We did a party on, like, I don't know, was like an 80-footer or something in Miami. I can't remember. We've done it numerous times. And it's like five grand for, six hours. And so with 20 people on boarding having a party, it's actually not that expensive to go out into the ocean on a big yacht and film this stuff. But the other thing I want to point out
Starting point is 01:56:13 too is most of these videos you see, you guys know that the private jets are rented out for video production. Yeah. You'll see a dude in a private jet and they're like eating a nice meal and it's got the jacuzzi or whatever is in it. And it's not flying. And you don't know that there was one woman who walked off a private jet smiling in slow motion and she put on her profile, except the engine cover was still on. And so regular people don't know what that means.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Everybody else was like, yeah, that's like a stationary, that jet is not going anywhere. They also started creating actual sets of private jets for influencers to take pictures on. But I have an intrusive thought question, which is what happens to the hot tub when there's turbulence?
Starting point is 01:56:55 There are there are Turbulence is, is, for a lot of planes, I'll put it like this, how many planes have you been on where you've had severe turbulence? What do we find as severe? Nothing that's going to disrupt a hot tub. Like where it drops, you know. Yeah, that's increasingly rare.
Starting point is 01:57:14 The worst, I used to fly twice a week. From 2014 to 2016, I was literally on two or three planes every week. And I only experienced serious turbulence one time. and it was in New Zealand from Wellington to Auckland. We dropped like 100 feet and it was the women were all screaming and the men were dead silent. Yeah. I mean, I've done plenty of flying myself for, you know, being abandoned stuff.
Starting point is 01:57:38 I just feel like the water would. I've never seen any serious turbulence. I'm going to say this again. Flew on a billion. So I know this guy who's a billionaire. It's physics. And he's like, I got a private jet. We're going to be flying into New York if you need a ride. And we were like, yeah, let's go. It was me and a few other people. And it was cramped, decently comfortable. private jet, no food.
Starting point is 01:57:58 They had a basket of pre-made deli sandwiches. And I was like, no, I'm okay. I don't need it. And no internet. And it's a pretty tight space. These people aren't just like, well, why not spend $500,000 in a $7.47? They just don't do it. Now, basketball teams, when they're transporting the entire team, again, calculate the cost
Starting point is 01:58:18 of getting the team safely from point to point. And I was in Chicago, and I can't remember which team it was, but they had a $7.37, docked at the FBI, its signature. And the guys there were like, yeah, it's going to be here for about a week because they're playing several games and they travel. And the side of the plane said the team's name on it. You're going to go on there and it's going to be pretty nice. It's going to have like private rooms, but it's for a team of people and their staff.
Starting point is 01:58:41 So it's still like, you know. But you can watch videos of like the jet that Taylor Swift has. She has two. She had a big one and a small one. Ultra, ultra wealthy people do have very nice things. However, again, most of the time you see these things, it's fake because you know who Taylor Swift is when she has a plane. The other thing I'm going to stress is they charter their planes out, meaning, look, not anybody can just get one. But if you're like your average, let's say you're a YouTuber and you're making $500,000 a year,
Starting point is 01:59:14 what are you really spending your money on, right? So let's say there's a 27-year-old dude. He's making 500K on YouTube. It's good money. It's great money. Okay? So he's pulling about 40K per month. And let's say he's running his own business, so his taxes aren't coming out per paycheck.
Starting point is 01:59:27 He actually pays taxes quarterly. So one month, he gets 40 grand. He calls a charter company and says, I want to spend $40,000 on a private jet right now. And I'm going to film on it. And then I'm going to make a video of me on my private jet. He then gets a 37 for a short trip where he's got all these amenities. It's a one-time thing. And that's the end of it.
Starting point is 01:59:45 And this guy's not even an ultra-wealthy person. He's just upper class. So again, that's my point is. It's typically fake. The ultra-wealthy people I know rarely do lunatic things like this. Again, Bill Gates betting 20 bucks. Don't get me wrong, Dana White famously bets $500,000 on Bachrot and Black Jet. That exists too.
Starting point is 02:00:06 I'm not saying it doesn't. All right, everybody. We're going to go to that uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com slash Timcast, IRL. So smash that like button, share the show with every person in your life that you care about. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Amber, do you want to shout anything out? Yes, if anyone knows what happens to the hot tubs during turbulence, please hit me up. I'm on X at Amber Marie Duke and on substack at State of the Day.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Thanks. I know what it is, Amber. I can tell you what happens to hot tubs on turbulence. They have what's called internal baffling where there's partitions inside the tub that reduce the wave motion, similar to a fuel tank. Fantastic. They keep the levels filled or the low levels, the water. They cover it with lids. And if there's going to be turbulence, they'll get people out generally.
