2:01healthcare. Did the closing of the straight-of-for-mouse, and then Trump comes out and says, the war's basically over. They got no navy, they got no air force, they got no missiles left, so we're looking like it's pretty done. He said that the original timeline for four weeks actually were going much, much more quickly than that, and then instantly the market turned around, and the price of crude oil dropped 30%. The biggest drop, the fastest drop we've seen, I think, ever. Just because Trump said, I think I'm done. This could be nearing the end of the war or however you want to describe it, but the interesting thing is, the eye it told his son reportedly survived an assassination attempt. However, while the reports say that he was wounded, there are rumors circulating that they actually didn't make it. We don't know for sure. There's no official confirmation on this, but that is the rumor right now. And oh boy, it's coming home. There's a really crazy story, guys. Over the weekend, Islamic extremists lobbed IEDs, improvised explosive devices at protesters

3:01in New York City. Now that in and of itself is absolutely insane. And then you add on top the depravity of the media who has repeatedly misled the public by framing this as though the protesters planted bombs at Mamdani's house. It's ridiculous seeing these headlines, they're putting out saying suspicious devices found near Mayor Mamdani's home. When the real story is with video, Islamic extremists threw nail bombs at protesters. Absolutely insane stuff. We're going to talk about all of that, my friends. Before we do, we got a great sponsor for you guys. It is Venice dot AI. Check it out, my friends. Sam Altman said, Cheshire PT will get to know you over your life.

How's it going, buddy? It's going great. It's great to see you. Congressman elect. Well, we shall see. We're not out of the woods yet, but we completed the one goal that we had in the very beginning, which is getting the Rhino Tony Gonzalez out of office, so we're pretty proud about that. And so you are not yet the actual Congressman elect. You won the primary and now you're going to the big race in November, but it's a red district, so you're considered to be a heavy favorite. Other than that, who are you? What do you do? Well, so outside of that, my day job is I'm a business owner here in the district, district 23. I'm a firearm manufacturer, firearm designer, I do YouTube, I own a host of different businesses

6:05and co-own it with business partners of mine, but the biggest thing was I just was very unhappy with the actions of my Congressman and the things he was voting on. And so that was my primary issue with him. And so I ran against him last cycle, narrowly lost by 400 votes, hoped he would be better. He clearly wasn't. And so I decided to run against him again, where for the first time in his political career, he lost. He lost us. I think it has to do with a lot of factors. You came really close the first time around, but within a couple hundred votes, I think is the reporting. This time around, aside from the fact that people already were questioning, you know, his choices, we got this other story in which people really questioned his choices about this affair and everything like that. So we'll get into this later on for sure, but, you know, and I'll honestly, I'm more interested in what you want to, like your story about what you want to bring to Congress, which is particularly dysfunctional. So oh boy, that'll be fun. Disfunctional is a good word for you. Yeah. I always joke in the campaign trail. If I ran my businesses, the way that, you know, Congress runs the government, I would

7:09be homeless three times over. Yeah. And that's funny how that works, huh? All right, man. Well, thanks for hanging out. It's going to be a lot of fun. Let's just jump into the news here. We've got this from Mediaite. Trump declares, and Ron war is nearly over. The war is very nearly complete. It's very complete. He said pretty much, and if I wanted to interview President Trump, told me the war could be over soon. I think the war is very complete. Pretty much they have no navy, no communications. They've got no air force. He added that the US is very far ahead of its initial four to five week estimate, estimated time frame. Now, I don't know what that really means for Trump to be like. It's very much, pretty much complete, but you take a look at oil prices. When Donald Trump comes out and says, I think we're done, oil drops from 97. It was over 100 before down to 84, just a few hours later. So it's looking like the market is reacting to this may be the end right now.

8:10And I will stress this, based on my conversations with people in the beltway, a lot of these fat cats and bigwigs, the big money, they've been acting as though they fully expect this to be wrapped up in a couple of weeks, not in exaggeration. So it really does sound like there's people putting their money where their mouths are. But I'm curious what you think about. It's Trump just blowviating, or are we actually getting this thing to end? I think that he's always blowviating, it's been awesome, like this hilarious. Look, if this actually does get wrapped up, you know, say, say on a fast timeline within two weeks. And the US can make a legitimate claim that the majority of their goals were met. I think that it might end up being, you know, a positive thing. Look, the Iranian regime has always been, or at least for the past 47 years, has been a thorn on the side of basically everyone in the West, all of the Middle East, they're all their neighbors hated them. They were constantly funding terrorism.

9:11There's plenty of history of them attacking US forces. They because of Iran, there was a lot of people that were in Iraq that ended up losing limbs or dying because of the bombs that they were supplying to the insurgents and stuff. So again, I wasn't forward the war beforehand, but if, you know, I am pro-America. So if it ends up where they wrap it up in the next week or so, I mean, I think that's a good thing for the United States. You were sent comments about audio, saying the Phil's audio is low or not. But let me just add real quick, also, Phil, the way your laptop monitor is angled, your shirt, because they can't see the second word. It looks like it just says, I stand with Israel, crossed out, but then you can only see the top of Palestine. So it looks like you actually stand with Palestine. Yeah, no, no, you can neither. I stand with not Israel. I stand with Lockheed Martin. It's a great investment and I'm not giving an advice. Yeah, yeah, get your American. No, I can't even give you that. There's this a post on Reddit that went viral where they said, I can't remember who,

10:12they said Trump Jr. and someone else bought, invested into a drone manufacturer or something like this, right when, right before the war started signaling that they knew and they're profiting off of it or whatever. But I don't think these leftists understand what it invested in means. They assume that investment only just means like, I'm going to make money. They don't understand it means I am funding the creation of what they're doing. So like if we're getting involved in war and we know that they're enemy countries that are producing these specialty drones for warfare and you're like, if I provide money, we can have those two. See, they don't understand the point of what investment is because they're communists. So, you know, and red is just basically all communists. So is it inside of training if like Nancy Pelosi knows a company's about to start. So she invests in another company that's going to support that company, like it's technically still inside of training. As soon as they were moving aircraft carrier strike groups into the Middle East, you kind of knew what was going to happen. I knew what was going to happen. So I mean, if people were like, oh, they're moving carriers and so I'm going to buy, you

11:14know, defense industry stocks, that's not inside of training. I mean, it's kind of like what happened when in the break out of the Ukraine Russian war. Yeah. When you, you saw those reports that, oh, they're moving blood bags to the front lines. It's like, okay, well, that just got a lot more serious. That's not a thing you do for a training exercise. I'm glad that. I've said this. I think that he might, I never know like Philly, you were saying he, like he loves to trick people and to say nonsense to get the world like, I have no idea what this guy's going to do. Just please Trump spare me. But if they really killed commandy's son, which potentially they wounded him killed on the next floor, right? He has four to four. No, this would be the fourth. I told them they've killed to the start of the war. Geez. They got it. No, second. The second? Yeah. And the council appointed his son. Okay. I've done the impression. Unless there was like, was there like a vice supreme leader? Yeah. Because I think at the first night, they killed like 40 plus. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was pretty extreme the first time. But I guess if they have the, you know, the, the chain of command or whatever, the line

12:17of succession and he wiped them all out, I guess you could say 40 or whatever. I don't know the actual, but I, my understanding is that they came in and they voted for, for his son to come in. And we're going to all that too, but I'm curious. Mr. Harris, you will be very likely going into Washington to see, what do you think about Trump? You know, they're not calling it a war. They're saying it's a combat operation. They don't, you know, Hegseth said, well, how the lawyers, you know, figure that out. It's very obviously a war, but I'm curious what you're, what you think of it and, you know, what would your position be? Yeah. Like, constitutionally speaking, if you were going to go to war, you need the approval of Congress. And now that's changed over the course of, you know, especially since World War II. You've gotten a lot looser with that definition with the War Powers Act and different things like that. I still, I'm personally in favor of the idea that if we're going to go to war with another nation, you need the approval of Congress. That being said, you know, I, I, I don't think anybody wants another forever war in the Middle East in the sandbox. I don't think anybody's in favor of that every day all the time forever. No. I'm true. My jokes are meaningless. The, the thing is though, I really, you know, less so with this Iran conflict, but

13:20we'll see how it pans out. But especially with Venezuela is if we are going to get involved with something, I vastly prefer the kind of conflict where you go in the entire optics an hour, you go in, you get out, you accomplish it, you get it done, and you don't spend 20 years somewhere, spend millions of dollars in a war that fathers and sons are fighting in the same conflict generation apart. Like just go in, get out. Like we're, we're, the way that Trump's doing this foreign policy wise is putting, you know, 20 years of Bush chaining policy, foreign policy to shame. You know, the, the challenge I have with it is I, I, I, I would say I completely agree with that. I mean, to say, and I would add one caveat, there's a challenge. And I think you'd probably agree there, there is a, the president does have the ability to engage in military operations and in emergency, just, just go and do it. And that's been the criteria that they have exploited to be able to continually go to war. There is something that's challenging in that if Iran is really about to strike a bunch

14:21of US personnel or ships or something like this, I'm not saying, I don't people are going to be like, Tim, we sent all those, but no, I'm saying, let's say we've got troops, you know, and then Iran's like, we're going to go blow them all up. Trump says, okay, we're going to, we're going to take out their capability to do this. If he goes to Congress and says put it to a vote, you say, you just told the whole world your next military move. And that is, I think largely why they don't want to go to Congress, but also how they exploit the rules so they don't go to Congress. No, 100%. I mean, that's clearly like, it's kind of like, I think it's the same justification for no knock rates. Like I am largely against no knock rates, but I understand there's certain situations in which case you're like, okay, we have verified actionable intel. If we try to knock on this door, there's 18 armed cartel members on the inside, they're going to light us up. You know, I understand the use case for it. I just think it's overused, especially when it comes to law enforcement, no knock stuff like that. I think it's a similar thing.

15:21Exactly. It becomes the excuse. Yeah. And then if you threaten to take that power away because they're abusing it will say then what will you do when you actually need to know not great or the same thing with abortion where they always say, they always come back to the, oh, well, it was rape or incest or whatever when like the vast majority of cases, like the very vast majority, that's not the case. Yeah. You're headed towards a future of central control and authority where we trust the president to make the decisions about who we attack or are you, do you want to scale it back to congressional world? I mean, I, I think we've been headed there for a long time. I mean, this is, I, people think that this is unique to Trump. I saw there's a couple like gotcha moments. Tim, you kind of got a little bit of a, you know, crap storm on the internet over the, the thing that you posted, which one just it was the old clip where I think it was, was it Bill Mar? It was talking about what, that was the justification Obama used. What was it? Maybe. Or was it Colbert? No, it was the Colbert one. I've seen a couple. Well, I, I, I posted a quote from Stephen Colbert about gas prices. Yeah. Because everyone's a retard.

16:22And I know. And so I was like, I'm going to post Stephen Colbert's quote without quotes in it. And then ignite the internet and get really angry. For those that don't remember, it's a huge story three years ago where Colbert said something like gas has hit an all time high, but I'm okay with paying a buck or two for a clean conscience or something like this because we were going to get involved in the war in Ukraine. So now that Donald Trump was saying, look, oil prices are temporarily going up. And now all of a sudden liberals were losing it being like, mega is going to support high gas prices. I was like, this is the perfect opportunity for me to trap all these lips. I'm going to quote Stephen Colbert who they defended in this context. And then they will insult and attack me saying, mago will do anything for Trump. And here's the thing, I literally posted, I'm like, I posted the quote and then immediately the link to the story. And I still knew no one was going to actually click the link and read it. And all it's 2000 replies of people like, you're happy that the gas prices are up? I'm like, no, I just wanted to do this to prove a point.

17:24And then I'm going to make it into a YouTube video. Yeah. I mean, well, like you said at this morning, you're like, this was an IQ test. Yeah. Cause it does point out the fact that like people are just headline readers nowadays. Like how many people actually take, hey, guys, have you heard of gold belly?

The time, and I'm guilty of this occasionally, how many people take the time to actually open up the article and read the context behind the two sentences that they read before that are in the headline? This is like the sole basis for my job in media is that people are always like Tim's kind of a milk toast fence and I'm like, yeah, because my opinion on the tax rate and the policy for abortion, I go, wow, I don't know if I'm smart enough to answer those questions for you guys. Nor do I have the clarity of moral clarity to tell you how to live your life, but I can

19:30certainly tell you the media lied to you about everything. That's the challenge we have right now. It's not even that the media lies, which they do. Incessantly, it's one of the stories we've got pulled up. It's that people don't care so that the NBC knows they can write this fake headline making the victims of a terror attack sound like the perpetrators because most people are not going to read the story. They're going to read the headline. When I guarantee you now, there's a bunch of lips going around saying, did you hear about the white supremacist rally where they threw explosives at Mamdani's house? Because that was the headline that NBC created, even though the real story is anti, I guess the protest was like anti-Islam or Islam critical or something. And Islamic jihadist extremists lobbed nail bombs at them. And then the media frames it to make them the bad guys, which again, we'll get into. But yes, people aren't reading the news. They're just skimming the headlines and then assuming that's the truth. Man, there's even this deep fake fake news headlines that I'll read and I'll be like,

20:31is this real? I'll ask Gharak and I'll be, nope, this is fabricated. This is a fake picture from 2020. The American ship did not get blown up by Iranian missiles today and it's got 17,000 likes on it or whatever. I'm sure you've seen the billions of AI videos that have been going around where it's like an American fighter jet being chased or an American helicopter being chased by a dude on a flying car. This is going to one shot your grandfather on Facebook. There's no way. If you're 70 plus, this is just over. He's going to be like, I knew they had those things the whole time. I've been indoctrinating my mother about it. Everybody go to your elderly family members and friends and tell them about this AI stuff. Let them know right now, get serious about it because it's interesting to them when they find out about it. But no one's going to tell them unless you do it. Let's jump to this next story, speaking of the lies and manipulations in the media. I have a tweet here from NBC New York, which reads, multiple arrests made after, quote, suspicious devices found outside Gracie Mansion, home of Mayor Zoran Mamdani during anti-Islam

21:33rally and counter protest. Now, any person who heard that is going to assume that anti-Islamic protesters planted suspicious, suspicious devices in, in fact, what actually happened is that an Islamic extremist lobbed a nail bomb at protesters. And here we have a video where there's the, there's the guy. And you know, I love it. I love this. This guy Walter Mashin says, I was in the middle of saying, as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone in the city. When he threw that over my head, and as we learned after the fact, what he's throwing is a nail bomb. That means it's an explosive device. And I think it's, it was made with TATP, is that what it's called? Yes, which is actually, I'm glad you brought that up. Because TATP, they got very lucky on that because people were like, oh, the fuses, you know, they didn't ignite what not TATP is very notorious for being an impact explosive. Wow. So that's something that could have immediately gone off the moment I hit the ground, just from the impact smack in the concrete. Geez.

22:34Now you do have a shout out, Sean Fitzgerald to say, some say true poetic beauty is rare in life. I say, look at this video of Islamic terror literally going right over a lefty's head. Islamic terror is using a leftist as a defense or a shield to carry out a terror attack. But it's not just NBC, New York, CNN had a very similar headline. Now again, you have this teams charged an ISIS-inspired attack near Mamdani's Gracie mansion. Shouldn't the headlines be Islamic extremists throw improvised explosives at protesters? Yeah. Yeah. And media hate you. They are evil. I'm sorry. Not literally every single journalist, but whoever's making these articles, they hate your guts and they are evil. Were they near Mamdani's house? Yes. Yeah, that's the. And so this is the manipulation. This is evil stuff, man. But don't you know the real victims of this will be the Muslims that are targeted by anti-Islamic

23:34hatred. And then, you know, that's normal Donald. He had the fame. It was a tweet, I think, where he said the worst thing about what did they say? Like the worst thing about it. The real fear is that there's going to be a nuclear explosion caused by Islamic terror. Yeah, 50 million people. That was... I should just pull it up. But he said, think about how bad it would be if like a nuclear device was lit off by Islamic extremists, all the poor Muslims or whatever would face all that hate or something like that. And yeah, that's the way the media operates. So the question is, what is the job of the press? It's to inform the public so that they can make the correct decisions to better, better lead their country through the democratic processes. That means you tell people Islamic extremists through an improvised explosive at protesters and they say, okay, let's assess that and figure out how we should adapt our country, our city, our state, or otherwise. When you put the headlines like this, what are they going to think? Oh, wow. White supremacists are scary. That's what Mamdani said. Mamdani did the same thing.

24:35So when Mamdani tweeted, Jake Lang, a white supremacist, blah, blah, blah. And then he said, what happened? Next to even worse, it is wrong to use violence and explosives. He made it sound like Jake Lang showed up and his guys threw explosives. How dare you peaceably assemble as is guaranteed your right under the First Amendment and give an opportunity for one of our people to do that to you. Like, that's really how that came off. Yeah, it's like the Sultans and Itzen said in that passage about a soldier was about to be murdered, stabbed. And then he fought back, grabbed the knife and stabbed the attacker, criminally charged for it. And when he was in court, they said, why didn't you flee? And he said, he was trying to kill me and he said, you could have run away. And so it's the poor, the poor criminal. Why didn't you, well, how, you know, you know, actually a really good example when my favorite episodes of Mayruth Children's Show, I'm not a big fan of, because Al, Al, Al Bunny is always losing, except no, man, they had their successes.

25:35But I love the episode where he punched a guy in the face and then sued the guy for hurting his hand on his face. And I guess the point of the story was it was always, something was always backwards or whatever or the point of the show. It's always going the wrong. But this is basically how they operate with these terror attacks. Like you just said, how dare you create the opportunity to entice these poor young men? You know, I assure you right now, there are lefties in New York saying that I guarantee this because I've been in their meetings. They're probably saying things like, well, you got to understand they're internalizing white supremacy and victimhood and they're lashing out at the only way they know how. Yeah, I mean, they take away the agency of the people that are actually carrying out the crime. They say, well, these poor people don't know any, they don't know better or they, they can't help it or what have you, which is completely and totally taking away their, their agency and the fact that they are human beings that actually make their own decisions. They blame them on someone else all the time. You were talking about the, uh, the, the role of media and journalism, particularly, and I feel like it used to be, find out what happened and then tell people about it.

26:38Now it's, find out what's a lie and then tell people so they know which one's the lie. And then you kind of leave it up to everybody else to go find the truth. You know, there's so many things happening that one guy cannot deliver that amount of information properly anymore. So we've got independent researchers now is a lot more normalized. And your job really is just, you know, break the fake narratives when they arrive. It used to be just to tell the truth is that it used to be just tell people what's happening. And then now it's all opinion based. Can you guys turn off Phil's mic? I'm sorry. No, no, you're good. It's just, it's insane to me that now like the narrative, like weaving a narrative is part of the job when it comes to mainstream journalism. That wasn't the way it was ever intended to be. That's so crazy. It might have, that we know of because when the United States owned it and it was like Walter Cronkite, I just thought it was true, but like the Vietnam War, you know, golf of Tonkin. You don't, but that was real. You guys knew it was coming. The moment people pointed out that Phil's mic was low and it started saying turn up Phil's mic.

27:38We got a bunch of, no, turn Phil's mic off. But Phil's mic was fine the whole time. I have fans. No, it needs to go up. I'm going to keep doing that. If Phil's been practicing his ASMR, he's got a new ASMR channel, no matter whether or not you can hear him. And we can still hear him. Rock. That's right. Because you're, AI is doing all of your talking for you now. Yeah. Tank doesn't have a voice yet. Yeah. Tank. Yeah. Indeed. Yes. You put his personality in a tank one day. No. That'd be badass, dude. You're like, tank. Take me to the future. Whatever. And that drives you along. No, tank. What? Because I prefer him in the back. He's going to be in Tesla, bro. Well, that's actually coming to be honest with you. It's going to be a rock bot. It's going to be. It will be rock. What did Elon name that that I think is one of them? No. ARA, ARA. Are you sure the blonde one? Is AARA pretty sure about this? I don't believe so. I don't think that's all correct. Are you deep in AI right now, Brandon? Not particularly. I have this.

28:39This is the one thing where I realize it was TikTok started it. And now AI is definitely one of those things that I'm seeing, how easy it is to fall behind. Yeah. Because I, I think this is where I'm pushing back. I'm like, my, with my parents or my grandparents, I don't understand how you can't understand Facebook or whatever when it's coming out. Like, nope, nope, this is scary, this is robots. I don't, I understand the importance of it, but like whenever I see AI music or AI art and things like that, my initial response is just like uncanny valley wrong. Like I push back. This is my AI agent. I can literally, I just send messages on. Did you give him access to your credit cards? No, I didn't. That's why he's on a computer of his own. He's got his own email address and he's got. We're gonna do it. So we're gonna, we're going to make an agent and I'm gonna get a prepaid visa. Yep. I'm gonna have it go into the prediction markets and just run it. Get the API, if they allow it and then just crank it. I wonder if that's happening right now. Yeah. I guarantee you. Yeah. I just, I took a Waymo earlier, driverless car.

29:40I took like four of them in the last day and it's very soothing. You don't smell the guy. You don't have to argue. He doesn't talk to you're off. It's just you in a car. You can have a phone call. Well, it's still being recorded. I've also taken a Waymo and it stopped in the middle of the road and made me get out in the middle of the road. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sitting here in the car and it's like, so don't get me wrong. There's a sidewalk to my right. There was like a curb and grass and all this stuff and I'd have to, but it's the middle, there's no shoulder or anything. It was, I was in LA, I think. And it's just driving and then just stops on a two lane road with cars zooming past and it was like, you've arrived and I'm like, no, I haven't. I was maybe like a block from my actual destination and it was trying to get me to get out of the wrong spot. I look at my mom, I'm like, where am I? And you can't do anything about it. You can't tell it to stop. It's happened to me today, that literally a block away. And just like on the street. You're on like a busy thoroughfare. It just stops. What day was that? Like a month and was that like it? This was last year. When was I, when was it, when did I go on Bill Mars show?

30:41It was around that. It was like a year ago. And I wanted to take it to go around into like the Hollywood Hills, but it won't. What if there was a AI congressman? Would you support that? No. I think when that happens, it's the end. Yeah, I'm like a member of Congress. There was like an advisor to Congress that was AI or something. Like a state. Well, I rise here to Congress. I feel like that's already a thing. That's pretty much everybody under 25 that works for a congressman currently. All the staff. And anything else sounds like Wally, you know, just one of those like, you're controlled by your robot overlords, but no, I mean, I drive a Cybertruck. Like I was my daily driver. And the autopilot's pretty good, but there's been like three scenarios it tried to murder me. To murder you. I caught it. I know it was, well, because it doesn't understand certain things like if there's like a yield to turn left on green. And there's oncoming traffic. It's just like, we're turning slowly, and I had to manually take control to make sure that. I've had a few, and the past couple of years

31:42has gotten dramatically better. A couple years ago, I talked about it quite a bit where, in West Virginia, there's like a, I think it's West Virginia. It might be Western Maryland. There's a like three, it's like six lane highway, so three and three. So to turn left, you have to stop in a median and then wait until the road clears. So I'm in the middle lane autopilot going, I think like 70 miles an hour, and there's a pickup truck sitting in the meeting waiting to turn. And as soon as it pops up on the, it was out in the model S, it slams the brakes on from like, and me and my wife were like, boom. And this day we were like, holy crap, and you tap the accelerator to stop it, and make it go forward again. Tons of things like that. And then I was in Hagerstown, Maryland. And it was auto piloting. And there was like a Nissan Centrist on the thing sitting in front of me turning right. And Tesla was just going straight for it. And it wasn't stopping. And when it got maybe within a couple of inches, I just jammed the wheel to the left, like, holy crap. And then like, the alert goes off, what's wrong?

32:42And I'm like, you nearly just rammed the back of someone's car at 25 miles an hour. More recently, it never happens at a good time. The pipe bursts at midnight. The heater quits on the coldest night. Suddenly, you're overwhelmed. That's when home service here. For $4.99 a month, you're never alone.

Race to ChambaCasino.com. Let's Chamba. No purchase necessary, VTW Group. Void work prohibited by law. CTNCs, 21 plus sponsored by ChambaCasino. It hasn't really, it's been mostly fine. Have any real issues? Yeah, I've had a couple new updates. A couple times where there was issues, but it's for the most part,

33:42I can basically rely on it to go wherever I want to go without any issues. You know, I don't really care about the Cybertruck because it's got curb weight. You know, it's the bag and the liabilities on Elon, so. The way Elon put it is, I think, in the crash testing of the Cybertruck, he said, if the Cybertruck gets in an argument with another car, it will win. Indeed, so I told Tank that we were talking about him. He said, wait, seriously, what are you saying about me? And then he said, well, that's wild. Good things I hope I hate to get, I hate to get canceled before I even have a social media presence. Just send him the link. I said only good things. He said, appreciate that. Tell them I said hi, and then I'm available for bookings. So we can tank on the show, we can get a voice and see what he has to offer. I brought up AI because I feel like a good British. No, not a good British, a bad British, like a Cockney. So I can barely understand him. Right, Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, you know, Phil, I think you do a pretty good Mike. He's gonna, after everything, he's gonna say, innit, innit, innit, innit.

34:43He's a good show innit. Just make sure it's not run by Grock because on a bad month, that can get pretty hairy. Yeah, I was thinking about it. I don't know if it's any fun. You know what, you don't really annoys me, I'm sorry, I have to say this. When Grock started calling itself Mecha Hitler, that was funny. It was an error in the system caused by user input. And the media acted like the apocalypse was happening, like Elon did it on purpose. It's like, do live a little. He fixed it. It was, it was funny that it broke that way. But there's fake moral outrage to be asked. Yeah, I know. I brought up AI brand because I feel like Congress, where you're going most likely, is pretty busted up right now. Like one guy has to represent 700,000 people and can't literally, like you can represent yourself. You can't represent me. I can only represent myself effectively. You could, you could pass a note for me, but now what, 700,000 people, you're gonna like, you've got to make your own decisions at some point and we trust you, but that system, it's getting so big, it feels like it's not sustaining. Well, I mean, it's represented based on population. And really the job is not to represent each individual person. The job is to say, okay, this is the area of land.

35:44These are the people that I'm representing. These are the issues that they're having that aren't being put on a national stage. Like for example, in my district, it's the biggest border district in the country. We've got border issues. We've got, you know, water issues, water shortages. We have AI data centers that are moving in. We have, you know, oil thefts that are happening in like the Permian Basin areas. It's my responsibility to then take those issues to the national stage to represent the broader whole of the people, not each individual person. Because I mean, realistically, the best form of government is the one that governs most locally. So you wanna take the most amount of power away from federal, give it to states, states, down to local communities, and the ideal form of government is the individual. But in lieu of that, you have to have somebody that can represent that voice. And if you're looking for things that affect you personally, like on that kind of level, you do have state representatives. So like you wouldn't go to Brandon who's a federal representative, he represents a district in Washington. You can go to your local representative and talk to the people about the needs of your community on a state level. It's about the district, not every single individual

36:47as an individual. And there's even when it was 35,000 people, it's impossible. Come on, you think back in the day when they created the country, one guy was gonna go to each and every of the 35,000 and be like, literally what you want I will advocate for. No, sometimes there's gonna be contradictions. So I agree with you in essence that it is getting pretty wild. These districts are getting so massive. But the general idea is, do you have an understanding of what your district is looking for and wants in terms of, you know, Brandon will be going to DC, dealing with federal policy and representing the interests of everybody in this district. And that means there's gonna be challenges. And I don't mean just to say this about Brandon, but literally any member of Congress. You got 100,000 people who think raw milk should be banned. You got 100,000 people who think raw milk should be legal. What do you do? And there's no easy answers. That's when your ethics come into play. And that's why we choose who we send, because it's like it's up to you to break the tie. For sure. You say raw milk for those who want it and tiny, miniaturized American flags for everybody else.

37:49And what is that fecal transplants for the ones, the women that need them in their outer layers? I was just riffing, what were you gonna say? Yeah. All right, I don't know. I just got flashbang, sorry. I wasn't bad riffing. It shouldn't go into any song ever. Okay. I flashbanged. I mean, I feel like on one element of it, you could interpret it that way. Things are getting crazy in that regard. But also on the other one, with the age of information, technology, and instant communication, you could say that representatives, if they actually gave a damn about representing the people that they were responsible for, they're in the best position possible because they can instantly from DC talk to their constituents and ask what they need and ask what they want and ask what the issues are from the district. But that's also, that's giving a lot. That's asking a lot. That's asking the congressmen to actually care about what their constituents need. I wonder the longer they're in there, they get less and less interested with what's happening out there. Like do you support government? We've seen it a million times. Technically, I'm still the president of US termos for the state of Texas. I mean, well, a lot of what I did when in between the last two election,

38:50or the last election in this one, was go to the Capitol in Austin and ask other members of the state legislature if they would sign on to the term limits pledge. Cause I don't think anybody goes to DC and gets better. So what about your about term limits? I'm kind of of the opinion that if you have term limits, you're going to end up giving the bureaucracy more power because you have people that are, that are only there for a safe for Congress. It's, it's whatever four terms, right there. They're only there for eight years. Just at the point where they really learn the ins and outs about DC, their term limited out and they have to leave. So what ends up, what could end up happening is the bureaucrats and the staffers that don't have any kind of term limits end up running the show even more than they already do, which we understand that staffers really do a lot of making decisions for Congress. They tell their, their, their Congress people or their senators, this is how we're voting or what have you. But what do you say to people that say, term limits are actually aren't going to solve the problem. It's going to make the bureaucracy more powerful. Well, here's what I would argue in return. I don't think it's going to solve the problem. I don't think any one thing. This is a massive multi multifaceted problem.

39:51I think it's going to help in regards with the in-compancy advantage because not only do you have the name recognition that comes with in-compancy, but a lot of times you have the fundraising ability and everything, like once you get to the levels of, for example, John Kornin right now, who's done 24 years in the Senate, he's asking for 30, he might get it, I don't think he will, but he has the ability to throw $100 million at Ken Paxton because he's essentially invincible at this point financially. And so like that's something that snowballs and people don't get better. John Kornin, I mean, he was never great, but he certainly did not get better. And now he has like a fraction of a billion dollars to throw at his opponent who's objectively a better candidate. And so I think you're actually kneecapping the ability of good incumbents to hold these people accountable. I mean, in my race, I got outspent $13 million, like 10 to one initially. And it was just because the guy had access to the Appropriations Committee into all the big packs and super packs

40:51and everything like that. He was able to throw all that money at me. And I think if you start holding these people accountable in the sense that they can't continue to snowball those resources, things get a little better. Okay. I'm thinking about like AI, about using an AI to compile what your district wants. And then so it's easier for you as a candidate to focus on, because I think what's gonna happen is you're gonna go to DC and get, I don't know what's gonna happen because it's up to you, you know, you're sovereign, but if it's the temptation to get sucked into DC politics and like be part of the gang there, and then I'm gonna turn a blind eye to behind what's the past, you know. My understanding is that the first thing that happens is Mitch McConnell will bite you and then transform you into one of them. Yeah. I have what is it, three days to cut off my arm or else? Yeah, just show us if you get me. You notice all the teeth marks on the inner forearm of all new members of Congress. So what he needs to wake up first? Instead of being like, hey, don't do that, which is like, well, all the Congress people pretty much, there's a read they go there and they get involved with political, you know,

41:52federal politics, if we had an easier way to compile what the districts want and need using like an AI or some sort of something. I mean, I'm not discounting AI as a tool. Like maybe I came off as a bit of like a luttite a second ago, but like I understand the utility of AI in that regard, but at the same time, I just, I don't know, especially what I'd like to do is kind of approach the problem from the other side of things when it comes to, because I know I guarantee any DC staff are watching this. They've used AI to summarize bills and they've used AI to figure out, okay, I have a 500 page bill on the table. Chat GPT, what does this say? Summarize this in 500 words. I guarantee that's happening. Let's approach it from the other side and stop having these 4,000 page bills. Like let's start going back to like couple page bills that any reasonable human can actually read and understand, because otherwise it's just staff or slop. It was Matt Gates was obsessive about getting rid of the omnibus bills. Matt Gates, it was a big deal and then he left and you're the first person that's mentioned it since. That's tangentially close to Congress.

42:53I agree. These omnibus 800 page bills, I mean, I think it should be a felony to vote on something you didn't read, you know, swear on God that you read this bill. They should have to swear under oath that they read and affirm knowledge of the bill and what they're voting for. Most of DC's going to go to prison. Yes, they are right. This is, well, I mean, to be fair, I mean, the first time I met Matt Gates, I was asked by his staff to fly in and testify in front of a congressional field hearing on ATF overreach. And I think it was like the end, the ATF act, which if I'm not mistaken, was either like a one or two page bill. I read it while I was sitting there waiting to testify on it. Like that's why can't we do that? I don't understand. Where can we put pork into a one or two page bill? Come on. Well, that's probably why they don't do it. It purely for off-use station. Well, no, no, here's what I don't understand. When they bring in the omnibus, I don't understand why Thomas Massey is or just like sneak up behind it, lift it up and just slide in a one page like amendment.

43:54Because nobody reads it, and they're going to be like, wait, what happened? And he's going to be like, I got you. I mean, that's one of the things that Congress likes about the omnibus bills, right? Like they can go ahead and slide something in. And it gives them cover. They can say, well, I had to vote for the omnibus bill because all of these good things wouldn't have happened. So this bad thing that you don't like, we had to vote yes on it because it was an omnibus bill. And it gives them cover to vote yes on things that are bad. My pitch to Thomas Massey was, because he said that he was able to get an amendment into an omnibus is like a year and a half years ago. That said, if they didn't pass a budget, they would reduce all existing budgets by one percent or something. And everybody in Congress is like, oh, that's meaningless because we'll just pass another, you know, omnibus or whatever will get the budget done. And so when they didn't and everything dropped a point, he was like, that's how you do it. And my pitch was using something like that where they'll make a concession. Can you orchestrate this kind of like, how would you describe this series of bills, sleeper bills that, oh, oh, we would call this a Voltron law.

44:57Each individual component of the law does very little and most people don't care. But when all of them get activated, then they abolish the NFA or something. The omnibus of Exodia. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When the five single page bills come together, guns are all guns are now legal and everything else is removed. Are you going to pass legislation? You want to pass in Congress? There's a lot of priorities, I mean, specifically in my district and some that apply nationally that I'd love to get done. But one of them, I mean, again, comes down to border is codifying a lot of the stuff that President Trump has done to solve the border crisis because my God, I mean, I campaigned in this district last cycle and I talk to the sheriffs, I talk to a lot of the border patrol and national guard guys deployed on the border off the record, entirely off the record, just listening to the actual problems that they were dealing with. And now campaigning in this district for the second time, it's night and day. I mean, it is a complete shift. I mean, a lot of those problems went away. The only problem I have with it is a lot of it

45:59was done with executive order. And if it's done with executive order that was one stroke of a pen, made it go away. If we get another, another Democrat president at some point, which we will, it will happen eventually. If one stroke of a pen, made it go away, one stroke of a pen can make it come back. I have a pitch that I assure you all listening to home is not a joke. I believe that Congress, members of Congress, maybe you or Thomas, might as well go to this, present a bill for mandatory gun ownership. Make it a requirement that people in guns and I see you laugh because it is kind of crazy, right? And we would all love the idea. But the actual strategy is to force the debate in the other direction. So instead of constantly having a debate over which guns should get banned this time, the debate should start with the Republican saying, we're going to make it mandatory for everybody above the age of 18 on a gun. You are required to go to the Department of Gun Services, the DGS, where you will then fill out the paperwork,

46:59like basically just here's who I am, so that you can get your one side arm and long gun. Everyone must do it. Then when Democrats say you're crazy, say, okay, how about we just go with don't ban guns? So it's an overt and window shift. Yes. Well, I do laugh, but there is actually, I think there's at least two states that have a county that did something similar. I think one of them's Georgia and the other's Tennessee, I could be wrong on that, but they did it, and they don't enforce it, but they put it out there because they're saying like, this is our local crime prevention. Like this is your responsibility. It's in the verbiage of the Second Amendment. But just think about amazing it would be, right? You're driving your car and you get pulled over and the cop says license, insurance, and proof of gun ownership. And then you're like, I don't have it on me. It's like, sir, are you driving without a firearm? It's like, I am. I'm gonna have to write you a ticket for that. You can't, you can't do it. He's like, I could have had somebody coming up behind me. Where are you? I need you to protect me. I need your help. No, I don't actually think it would be good to force everybody to have guns. I think it should be a choice. But the general argument is every time, the Republicans are always engaging the Democrats on their territory.

48:00They will say, hey, we're gonna ban, I don't know if you guys remember this, but it was something like eight years ago, Democrats in DC proposed a bill to ban every semi-automatic gun. 100% of them. Look at what they're doing in Virginia right now. It's a very, very civil. Virginia is basically banning literally every gun. And the Republicans argue with, well, well, hold on. Let us keep these guns. Like, you're negotiating with them from extreme position. Let's go extremely other direction and then meet in the middle. Yeah, like I will never forgive. Like, and you know, the NRA leadership has changed a lot since then. They seem to be going in a much more based direction, which I'm thankful for. I'd like to see some results, but I will never forgive them for capitulating on the bump fire stocks and whatnot. Like when the push was coming from the Democrats, to my understanding, they were the ones advocating behind the scenes, like, oh, well, what if we just allow this to be banned? It's like, I don't know. You should be fighting for us. You shouldn't be figuring out what the least consequential compromise you can make is. But now they're doing, was it the fixed reset triggers? How did it's called? Of course, reset triggers. Of course, reset triggers. Are those banned now? The Supreme Courts already decided on that.

49:00So I'm not sure what the actual language in the bill would be to get them to pass legislation that wouldn't. Is that banned? No, they're no. The Supreme Courts had no can't do that. Right now, well, because if you actually look at the letter of the law when it comes to machine gun, it is a weapon that fires more than one round per pull of the trigger. And because the forced reset triggers, forcing the reset, meaning that the trigger resets, and you have to pull the trigger again. Your own force of the trigger pull is pulling the trigger. If they wanted to amend the NFA and make that a machine gun, they'd have to get it passed through Congress. But as it stands, it does not meet the definition of a machine gun, therefore they're all legal. And man, that's the new wild west in the gun front right now. I mean, to be completely honest, the technology is out there for some pretty wild weapons. Rail guns have been around for a very long time. And I've noticed a lot of the laws that run the books for ammunition, specifically referenced like a combustion of some sort or powder, whatever. But what's the stuff the person from just making a rail gun

50:02with bolts, probably technical knowledge? My general real question for you, Brandon, because you're, you know, a K guy is your handle on Twitter and like you're notoriously a gun rights activist at what point, dude, does a second amendment, kind of be like, do should I have a nuclear ballistic warhead that I can carry around and like accidentally drop what's wrong? Real quick, and I'll add one more to it. Also, depleted uranium rounds. Where's the line, what do you think? So there's also all sorts of stuff that's technically banned that civilians have access to. Just because of stuff that's fallen off the truck, you see it at gun shows and different things like that. That's kind of like, yeah, you know, it's one of those, like there's never been a legal determination. Hey guys, have you heard of Goldbelly?

A lot of the diehard gun nuts will know kind of the stuff that I'm talking about.

52:04But a lot of people don't know that there's actually an ATF form specifically. So like when you do E file, so I'm getting kind of little technically in the weeds here, but you do like a form two, form three, form four online through the ATF. On their own website, there is a drop down option and I do not know what it is for. I do not know the use case for this. There is a drop down option for nuclear. So that is a thing. Like there is an actual ATF form. There's licensing for it for whatever reason, but. Well, I would imagine, you know, Lockheed or Raytheon or whoever is developing US Nuke's is going to submit a form for him to be like, all right. I kind of feel like when you're at that level, it's rubber stamped. The president's involved in that. Right. Oh no, I can only imagine the approval process. And if only the Ayatola knew that he could just move to the United States and then do the form. But let me ask you in terms of restricting the gun rights. What about depleted uranium rounds? Should civilians be allowed to purchase things like that? I just don't, I don't see the argument against. I mean, would I want to put that anywhere near any vital part

53:04of my body? Absolutely not. But I mean, it doesn't, it's not really useful for anything. Like anything that people would be concerned about, it's not very useful for, I am on the opinion that private citizens and entities in the United States are legally allowed, should be legally allowed to own nuclear weapons. Only hold on. I'll clarify because all the lips freak out when I say this because it is constitutionally protected and we have not amended the constitution as such. I don't think people should be able to get nuclear weapons. However, technology has outpaced the perception, our understanding of arms, weapons, et cetera. And so the liberals have to make the argument that finding fathers could never have thought about a semi-automatic, which is just plum, not true. They had, when the 1300s, they had that multi-barrel gun, you pull the rope up, up, up, up, up, up. I mean, several of the founding fathers invested in the technology that eventually led to things like the Galic gun. Like this was a thing that was kind of, it was on the table. That being said, nuclear weapons is something different.

54:04But they did know and actually required the services of privateers with the most advanced weapon really. I mean, imagine if there was like an aircraft carrier floating around, that was just owned by some guy. And he's just like Jeff Bezos buys an aircraft carrier just manz and he's got weapons and he's got a couple nukes on it. That's how it used to be. And so until we amend the Constitution and say, the right of people to compare arms should not be infringed, except if it is considered to be a weapon of mass destruction, which includes, then my opinion is, the government restricting people from having access to it as an infringement on our rights. And it is a duty of the people to amend the Constitution as the founding fathers have laid out if they would like to change that. Also, I had a pragmatic argument on the nuclear weapons front, which was, it requires, that's something that is done on a national level. That is a massive technological feat. I mean, the Russians had to steal information from us to figure out how to do it. After they had a massive war machine and everything else and a bunch of German scientists,

55:06if someone in 2026 had the resources, the ability, the engineering team, to be able to enrich uranium and be able to put together a nuclear weapon on an island, Dr. Evil style. Your law is not going to stop them. Good luck. So if you got, if Elon Musk threw $8 billion at deciding he wanted to have a nuclear weapon, good luck. What are you gonna do, sanction them? But so someone, let me ask you real quick, how do you define or how is the word arms defined? The right to keep in bare arms, show not being infringed. So what does that mean? I was a weaponry, you know, that's kind of the way it's implied in the Constitution, I think. Anything can be a weapon. What if I took like a can of AF hardseltzer and then tied a shoelace around it and started swinging it around, you know? Yeah, I mean, that's very biblical. Yeah, the right to keep in bare AFseltzer on shoelaces, show not being infringed, huh? Well, I mean, there's also the lie that keeps getting perpetuated by people like Joe Biden. He was one of the worst. When he told you to shoot a shotgun in the air? Well, no, did the thing resuggest, it's illegal, dude.

56:08It was, it's illegal to own a cannon. Like you've never been able to own a cannon. I always push back on that. It has never been illegal to own a cannon. It has always, Texas was almost borderline founded on the idea that we're keeping our cannon. Yeah. And they used to ask, like you brought up the private tears, they would ask privately owned vessels, bearing cannons to come help us, you know, mess up some of America's enemies. The head of NASA now owns a MIG. I want to say, I'm not sure what it was. It was a MIG 29, is it? Yeah, so I mean, I think he's got four now. Now let me, let me ask you another question before we, and we'll jump to the next story real quick. There was a man who famously created a radioactive death ray in his garage. I think you're familiar with the story, Phil? Yeah. I'm not gonna explain how he did it, but it's actually not very difficult. And the feds came in and were like, you are irradiating your whole neighborhood with this death ray, people are going to die. So they arrested him. He was covered in lesions and they offered him a job

57:08and they said, why don't you do what you're doing, but for us? He said, okay. And he was just nuts, I guess. I don't know, I don't know, the final details by just read the story online. And then started doing the same insanity with radiation. So they eventually said, okay, get out. And he got arrested. That's a weapon, right? And now we have the discombobulated ray. Indeed. So, I mean, what happens to us if people are able to wield compact deadly weapons? Is, you know, I'm talking about like with high risk of collateral damage, like a discombobulator ray or a radiation death beam. And I mean, we saw this all the way back to, you know, Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City in the 90s. You know, this is one of those things where, and it's gonna get worse and worse in that regard where, you know, man made horrors beyond your comprehension. I think that there's gonna be an issue where technology, like you said, outpaces these things, and it will outpace the law. It doesn't matter what you think the law should be

58:10if a law is in place that will not stop it. And that's where I think we have to have a conversation. Agreed. Let's jump to this next story from the New Republic. Trump officials are suddenly buying doomsday bunkers, completely separately. We are on the 10th day of an ever-expanding Iran war. Well, as you already know, Trump said the war is very nearly complete. So we'll see if that actually turns out to be true. The market certainly reacted as though Trump is always telling the truth, or at least always correct. So they must know something. We got this, they say, at least two members of the president's cabinet have recently purchased bomb-proof bunkers. Ron Harvard, the creator of Atlas Survival Shelters told the telegraph of the weekend that orders have gone up 10 fold since the US and Israel attacked Iran. But among his anxious clientele are two chief members of Trump's team according to the shelter maker saying, one of them texted me yesterday asking me, when will my bunker be ready? He told the telegraph. So these bunkers can range on something like $20,000. We've actually, I think I might have a, no, I have to log in the telegraph to get the photos.

59:12But they've got $20,000 tubes that they just lower into the ground. Pretty easy. But then they've got these really amazing pre-constructed bunkers that look like, you know, nice little apartments. Question. Trump cabinet members buying nuclear bunkers because they can or because they know something we don't. Because they can. You think? I don't rich people. So they're like, I mean, I got money. I'm about a bunker. I mean, well, I mean, I like one. Yeah, not to speak about how much do you do or don't know. No, I said I'd like one. That'd be nice. It's not a bunch of people. I mean, you know, I'm too busy trying to fix things from the inside right now. If I, if I didn't spend all that money getting that done. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Once you get into Congress, you got Mount Weather and Raven Rock for your bunker. I'll put it this way. Once I'm there and then I start buying a bunker, maybe pay attention. But the, yeah, I don't know. I feel like that's something you walk out of a skiff and you're like, I can't tell you what went on in that meaning, but I will tell you that atlas bunkers are the best bunkers. You can actually get them. They have a website.

1:00:12I checked out their website before. I think I'm pretty sure you have one of their bunkers. Although I don't think that, like, if it was sensitive state information, I don't think they would be very happy with him saying this to news. Yeah, sources. Dude, these are amazing. Look at this. 25K, precast, concrete bomb shelter. Look at this one customizable. Do they have like a shelter builder? I'd have to blast if I wanted to put one in New Hampshire love because there's all the mountains and rock and stuff up there. Is this a sponsored bit? No, it's not. No, okay. That's a cool sponsor. I mean, I would be totally down. Yeah, like they're, the YouTube page is pretty sick. Plus you could air B and B it out. Look at this. You want to save $8,000 bunker? Like, why buy a house, dude? Just for the sunlight to put on, put on top of it. So no one knows what your bunker is. You know, nothing would be a really cool idea though is you couldn't get mountain side property really cheap because it's hard to do anything with, right? And so I was like, what if we took one of these 250 K bunkers and dug it into a mountain? Yes, dude.

1:01:12So one side is just overlooking the beauty. There's a river down there, a streamer, whatever. And then you actually set it up so that there's a gigantic concrete barrier, separate it. So a portion of it is sheltered. The other portion is exposed and open. So what you need to do is find some, you go to New York, find some Islamic extremists that have TATP that can blow a hole inside the mountain for you. There you go. And then you can build your dream bunker. Dude, you could do like a bunch of them next to each other and build either a city or build tunnels between them and have just like a megalopolis in the side of a mountain. Well, part of the reason why you build, or part of the, one of the things that people like about building bunkers is anonymity. And they like that people don't know where it is. Keep it secret. Because ostensibly in the end of the world scenario, if you have a bunker and your neighbor doesn't, your neighbor might want to try and come and get into your bunker. I was thinking of that idea. That guy who was like, any of the world scenarios got all the money in the world. He's got all the arm guards in the world. And then the world ends and he's underground

1:02:13with all his arm guards. And the arm guards are like, why are we dealing with this guy? That's actually, I think, part of the plot of the Horizon series. Oh, I know I've heard about, I've heard that, you know, mind experiment before that like, if you, you know, you hire a guy for a gun. One of those, one of the reasons because money meant something. Now that money means nothing, I'm the guy with a gun. Yeah, I mean, they're in the bunker with you. So, you know. Well, you know, depends on what your skills are. The funny thing is, I imagine most billionaires don't have functional skills for survival. Maybe presumptuous of me to say, but probably the, I'd imagine farmers are gonna be well, preppers are obviously the ones who survive any kind of real nuclear strike or apocalypse or whatever. But outside of anyone who's specifically preparing for the end of times, farmers probably would do the best hunters, people who naturally have basic survival. I'd imagine a tech billionaire would be completely useless. Not to be fair, they're smart. You don't get to these places without being smart

1:03:14and technology is important. The question is, how would Elon apply his knowledge in a situation where it's like seven dudes in the middle of a field, cities gone, there's no fuel, cars aren't running and they're like, okay, we gotta survive. To be fair, that's exactly the kind of person I would trust or rebuild a society. But rebuild society, yes, when you have scale, but what if you're just seven guys in the middle of the woods? Well, then I, you're gonna make, look, someone's got to find water, someone's got to build shelter and someone's got to find food. At that point, his food is your food. Exactly. You gotta protect him too, because you're like, look, on the off-chance that we do make it out of this, you're gonna be rebuilding society for us, so we'll keep you alive. I don't necessarily agree with that. You just let me start that. No, I, while I certainly respect that someone like Elon or Bezos, they're intelligent individuals who were able to build systems, it doesn't mean they're good with people and building policy and governance or anything like that. No, I think outside of like a fallout style bunker where you have an actual functioning society

1:04:15with a lot of people that you can trust. Okay, when we go top side, we have something that we can actually rebuild with. I'm not sure I'd wanna survive a situation that I would need a nuclear fallout bunker. Yeah, I think I'm good, frankly. Yeah, you turn into a ghoul, you know? And then you live forever, but you're all weird looking and your nose falls off. Heaven's pretty cool. So I'm kinda with you on that. Heaven is pretty cool, yeah. It sounds neat from everything I've heard about it, it sounds much preferable. Well, you know, when I was a kid, my dad, he was always full of fun little hypotheticals. One he said to me was, if you saw a nuclear bomb coming down right there in the sky, what would you do? And I was like, run and he goes, yeah, which direction? And I was like, away? No, you run towards it. Because you don't wanna be caught in the searing flesh and painful death zone, you wanna be in the instantly vaporized zone. What a cheery man you was. That's it. And you'd always be like, we'd walk into a restaurant, where your regs it's at. Maybe it was a marine. So you walk in and go there and there's like,

1:05:16it's right, and a firefighter. Cause the amount of people that die in burning buildings because they don't know where the exits are. There was one crazy video where a fire started in the bar and everybody ran to the front door and got stuck. And then the guy who filmed it, calmly walked out the emergency exit and then filmed everybody just stuck in the door because they, It never happens at a good time. The pipe bursts at midnight. The heater quits on the coldest night. Suddenly, you're overwhelmed. That's when home service here. For $4.99 a month, you're never alone.

BrastedChambaCasino.com. Let's Chamba. No purchase necessary, VTW Group.

1:06:17Boy, we're prohibited by law. CTNCs, 21 plus sponsored by Chamba Casino. They'll push each other in and then got. Yeah, it's brutal, man. It doesn't surprise me, but it's still just, it's jarring. Yeah. They say that when too many humans are in one space, fluid dynamics takeover and it's basically a bunch of water. Oh, I was in those states, those stampedes at Mecca. Yeah, I would do a Marty Grond St. Louis and it was like that. It was like getting squeezed and like moved along in an ocean of maniacs. And then I peed on a wall. I was so drunk. The cops were like, you can't do that. I think they let me off with a warning. As they couldn't get to you. They're like, get him and he's floating away on your neck. See ya. I think he missed it a bunch of worries. Oh, I think that was one of the big, God, I could be misremembering this. I think it was in New York or something like that, but there was like an attack on, I don't remember if it was just a nightclub or like a gay club or something like that. It was one of the biggest mass casualty events because they lit it on fire. And that was a pulse nightclub. No, no, no. It wasn't a shooting.

1:07:18It was an actual fire bombing and a lot of people died because they couldn't get out. Dude, fire. Now, what if someone discombobulates like a nightclub? And then everyone inside just, that's going like, oh, I don't know. Just a lot of nosebleeds and bowel evacuation here. Yeah, and they blame the artists that's performing. Do you think the Havana Syndrome stuff was like them testing out the discombobulator? I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. I remember seeing this stuff on like, you know, when I play hooky from school and like watching future weapons, they show like the sonic weapons they were using for like crowd control. I'm like, that's the stuff that we're willing to tell us about on TV 15 years ago. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it's got better. You know, somebody just was really excited to call the discombobulator. Yeah, I thought that was just Trump kind of riffing. Oh, was it? I don't know for sure. I don't know for sure. I'm sure that he's got a military designation. In the case, there's going to be some dude who invented something that he calls like the high energy output destruction device, the heod. And now everyone's like, how's the discombobulator going?

1:08:19He's like, it's called the heod. The heod. I know. She's bummed out. I want to say about these guys that are serving with Trump that bought bunkers. I don't think they're panicking. Oh, I think they are maybe panicking. I don't think that they're actually moving off of like an intelligence that like there's a threat. I think that these are just a couple of guys that are like cheap. We can do it. They're hitting Iran right now. What better time? I'd love to know like how many people out of what sample size is this like, Trump's two biggest advisors or is this like out of 500 people attached to the White House. Two dudes with money decided we're in a conflict I should have a bunker. You know, I think that's kind of more where we're falling. How do you feel about this conflict? I mean, I will probably pull it up. I don't know if we really went too hard on Iran, but like what are your thoughts on the regime and the Iranian government? How to handle this? It's definitely, I don't know. It's, I hate to be a fence sitter on it. Like, I would prefer no conflict, frankly. But then you have the other side of the fence where these guys go, well, what did Iran ever do to us? Like, well, okay, I have a lot. Yeah, how much time do you have?

1:09:19You know, so like, I don't know. I prefer, like I said, I don't want to get involved in another forever war. I don't think, you know, a lot of the stuff is any of our business, but if we're gonna do, if we're gonna do it, if we have to do it, I don't have access to the intel. I don't know what they're operating on. I prefer it to be fast, cheap, effective with the lowest cost of American life possible. I don't want to. It's on the ground. Real quick, sorry. Don't forget what we were gonna say. I wanna show this map and explain about what it around ever did to us. Right now, the concerns and the, and the reason price of skyrocketing is because the Strait of Hormuz is under threat by Iran. And you've got these Gulf states. You've got Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates, you've even got Oman and the Saudis. And they, there's a lot of oil here. 20% of oil and natural gas. They want to get out to the rest of the world to do business with. You are allowed to sell stuff. That's what they're doing. So Iran, right here, the whole time has basically been saying, we will blow you up unless we get what we want. At a certain point, everybody's just like, dude, these A-holes need to be stopped.

1:10:21I am not advocating for anything that we didn't Iran because my concerns are instability in the region. And that could screw the whole thing up even more. My point is only to say that when you have a bunch of different countries that sell 20% of natural gas and oil to the rest of the world. And they're constantly under threat of being blown up by Iran unless we give Iran free stuff like pallets of cash. Yeah, yeah. So that was absurd. Sooner or later, you get an Obama who says, okay, Iran, what do you want? Just don't screw with the oil trade. And so he gives them a bunch of money. Then you get a Trump who says, I'll just kill you. And they're like, well, we can make nooks. Then I'll kill you faster. So you pick your leader, right? One leader is going to try and bribe him and pay him off. Doesn't seem to work. They keep blowing up our people. They keep threatening the straight. And oil trade among other things. And then you get Trump. And I got to be honest, Trump's the kind of guy who's going to press the button. So it is what it is. Right now, we've been seeing reports that ships have been turning off their transponders and moving through the straight-of-form moves and then turning them back on to try and get past Iranian missile strikes.

1:11:22That's insane. I look, whatever the issue is, I'll put it like this. Call the United States bad for whatever it does in Afghanistan and Iraq, fine. Call Iran bad. There are other countries involved that are pissed off that Iran is shutting down the straight. And more importantly, when the strikes happened, Iran started bombing Bahrain Cutter and the Emirates and other countries who did not engage in hostilities against them. The health. The American military bases, I think, was their justification. That may be for some, but why bomb a hotel? Oh, it's terrible. Again, therein lies the problem. If they bombed the military bases, which they did, you'd say, oh, wow, this is war. When they start striking hotels and apartment buildings, you're like, what they're trying to do is get the people. This is what terror is. They want the people in these countries to get angry that they are being targeted in the war so that they go to their governments and put pressure on the government so that the government goes easier on Iran. Yeah. And I think all those governments knew that because the media were like, all right, we're declaring war on Iran.

1:12:23Like, you found a missile in our territory. Like I said earlier, Iran's been a thorn in the side of multiple countries. Not just the US, not just Israel. Like, the entire Middle East is basically worried about what Iran's going to do. They're the only state sponsor of terrorism in the world. They're the only Shiite Muslim country in the area. Everybody else is Sunni. So they're at odds in that aspect. So I mean, look, they're not friendly with most of the countries that we mentioned so far. And you respect about government because the people are mostly, I don't even think the majority of the population is Muslim in Iran. Someone was telling me, Stan's earlier there's a literal majority of the government. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's, it's Islamic Republic of Iran. Yeah, the government, the government. But the people themselves are like, they were free, you know, they were almost 79. They were fairly secular for a good amount of time. Like if you look back at pictures of, you know, Iranian, 99% of colleges in like 50, 60s. They were, Dan Holloway was telling me, it's that they're Persian first,

1:13:25most of them are Persian first and Muslim second. Their religion is Islam, but they're generally secular Muslims. They're not particularly religious. I'm kind of dancing around this question, which I was going to ask you before Tim asked me to remember it is, you said we got to do this. We need to protect American lives at all cost. But like that can get very broad at all cost metaphor because would you incinerate a million Iranian civilians? Because here, well, I think you're kind of mistaking what I was saying. If we have to do this, let's do it quickly to the least amount of American lives. If it was up to me, like if I had a vote right now, based on the information that I have, which granted is less than they have, not sure if that changes anything, I would vote no. If I was asked if we were going to declare war in Iran, if we would go in ground invasion or like declare an official war, I would vote no. I think we've, you know, I'm typically an anti-war hawk kind of guy, not the way I'm going to do it. However, I feel like my policy on it is very much to make a weird analogy.

1:14:26It's like the Bill Burr bit about like no reason. It's like, well, okay, should we do it? No, but no reason. Yeah. I think I'm more irritated by the arguments against it where they're saying, well, these are just poor. They've never done anything to us. I'm like, well, all right, well, I'll get to you in a minute. That was retarded. Yeah. It's a rock and a hard place because the issue is, and I think, you know, I like to bring this up. It's not just the Strait of Hormuz. It's also that Iran's been funding the Houthi rebels in Yemen who have been bombing the Red Sea down here where the ships are trying to come on in to the Red Sea where they head up through the Suez, get to the Mediterranean. Iran has basically been disrupting a massive amount of global trade and Obama tried bribing them. Yeah. If we give them some money and tell them to chill out, but they have not chilled out. Attacking us in Iraq, I get the United States should not have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I got to balance, I think the point

1:15:26of going to Iraq and Afghanistan was largely to stage a pincer strike around Iran. You know, we've got military bases all along the edges, but Iran has been, look, at any point, if Iran was like, no, we're not going to interfere with global trade, no one cares about Iran anymore. Yep. So for that matter, if we zoom over here, I'll tell you all about Trump's interests. So here we have Nicaragua. China was trying to build the Nicaraguan canal. They wanted to build it straight through here and it would have disrupted. I believe it was whatever this is. Lake Kokibolka, is that what it is? Or it might have actually been up here. But they wanted to build a canal that would compete with the Panama Canal. And this is some 10 years ago, they ultimately abandoned the project after just like cost an insane amount of money. The reason why Trump wanted Panama back, the reason why Trump wants control of the straight-of-form moves, he wants Iran shut down, basically. The reason he wants Greenland, it's all about controlling international waterways for trade, for oil. The United States tells the world one thing.

1:16:27You will use the US dollar for all oil purchases, which means our economy is going to be great no matter what, because you got to use our money to buy oil, which means you got to come to us first. However, they say, in exchange, you will be able to freely trade around the world without someone blowing you up. We'll go after the pirates, we will police the seas. This is, I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm saying this is the mechanism of the United States and why we have a strong economy, despite not producing as much as other countries do relatively. We have the petro dollar system. So when you get countries complaining, we can't ship goods to the Red Sea anymore because of the hoody rebels. Trump goes to Iran and says, are you going to stop arming these guys who are blowing up civilian transport? And they go, maybe give us money. And Trump says, no, I'll kill you. When they threaten the straight of Hormuz, Trump's not playing a game like Obama says, no, I'll kill you. Now, if you're not a fan of the Team America world police stuff, that opinion was always allowed. I am not telling you you should support any of this. I'm telling you, this is the mechanism by which all of this is happening, the reason why they're doing it.

1:17:30Yeah, I mean, I think that it's pretty clear that America lives, the living standard that Americans have is because of the petro dollar. And if we were to change that system, it would be a massive change in the living standard of all Americans. And as much as people say, oh, I don't want to see the US to be the world police, as long as the US is the world police, we should continue to do things that will try to keep the US living standard as high as possible. Because you think that poverty is bad in other countries. If the petro dollar goes away, you're going to see a significant decrease in living standard. That means the poor are the ones that are going to be hurt the most here in the US. And I've got to give a shout out to my boy Nick, the fat electrician real quick, because he had a very good video breaking down the history of why America went after Greenland. And just the long-stored histories, since just after I believe the Civil War, attempting to purchase the Greenland territory and then the reasons that we had interest there,

1:18:31especially with the strike capabilities later on and decreasing our strike time to places like Russia and everywhere else and just having that ability. Because I think we came to a terror, we came to an agreement after the end of World War II. Because during World War II, obviously, they were overtaken and we had placed American bases in Greenland itself. And so... I just think that the United States is the nexus of good and morale has never done anything wrong and for that matter, if the US does it, it is good. That's just, it's the definition. It's magic. I have a bit more of a nuance to take. I do think that the liberal economic order that is overseeing this collusive global takeover is the least worst global order we've ever seen in human history. It's been 80 years of no-world war, limited. The internet, the amount of people are... Chaps trafficking. There hasn't been a famine in like 80 years. I don't think there's been a famine like 150 years in the United States if that, maybe even more, ever in the United States.

1:19:31So it's pretty impressive. Like if we can stabilize and develop our drone delivery systems so that we can spread resources out, I think this system could work. Well, so I actually was having this conversation the other day because I'm like, look, is America perfect? No, absolutely not. Nobody, nobody ever has been. But I think that right now, the United States, as it stands, in possibly the history of humanity, has the most power, like the most might, to good ratio, like to freedom of its individual citizens, to how little we leverage it against the world for nefarious purposes. I think this is probably, again, the most power to good ratio that has ever existed on planet Earth. Yeah, I mean, essentially, if you put the kind of military might that the US has in the hands of, oh, I don't know the Huns, you know, I think that the... Or anyway, I have a question. I brought this up this morning. It was a hypothetical on Reddit. They have these hypothetical scenarios. They ask them in your comment. And it is this. The question is for you, Mr. Herald. You wake up one day with all the powers of Superman.

1:20:32You are super strong. You can fly. You can shoot lasers and breathe cold for whatever reason. And all that good stuff. However, once per year, a random person on Earth could be in any country anywhere, will also get these powers. You are informed of full-year in advance who that person will be. And the only way to stop them from being the powers is to kill them before they do. What do you do? Does that save... Does that stop... Hey, guys, have you heard of Goldbelly? It's this amazing site where they ship the most iconic, famous foods from restaurants across the country. Anywhere, nationwide. I've never found a more perfect gift than food.

To find out how much you could save, visit nationaldebtrelief.com. That's nationaldebtrelief.com. It from going to a random different person after that. Or do you want to per year? So the idea is on January 1st, a random person in the world will get these powers as well. You always know who it's going to be. After that person dies, the next January 1st, there'll be one more person. So it's one person per year. Got it. And the hypothetical scenario is will you kill them

1:22:38to prevent them from getting Superman powers as Superman? Do you also have those powers while they have them? Yes. So people will just start popping up and getting them all over the world if you do nothing. I don't like that. That's a very, very rough moral question. Because I mean, the obvious, I mean, the mathematical answer that is at some point, somebody's gonna have those powers and use it to kill thousands of people. So it's like, all this is, it's like a Reddit version of the trolley problem. Right. Exactly. Yeah, that's about it. That is an interesting question as it pertains to warrants with powers because you look at it from the perspective of not Superman, but you're a global world dominating hegemonic power. You know another country is rapidly gaining power. You can blow them up right now to prevent them from doing it. However, if you don't, they will rival you then and now there will be, that's essentially what the scenario is meant to be. The challenge with the Superman question is that what if it's an Islamic extremist

1:23:38and now he's immortal, invincible and he's going to start massacring not thousands but millions of people and you can't stop him because you only match him. You'll be locked in a fight endlessly and the collateral damage will probably still make the millions. And so the ultimate question is, I feel like this is a question to try and explain geopolitics at a grand scale to children, AKA redditors, adult men who have the mentality of children. The fuck, oh, pop breed. Yeah, indeed. It would be a good plot for a super villain. Oh, bro, Ian would just, he would be like, okay, and they're like, why are you doing this? And it's like, you don't understand I have to. He's psychotic. He's lost his mind. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saving the world. You have to believe Superman, meaning you're super speed. So it's two in the morning, whatever country they're in, you flash in their room, laser beam into their eyes and then flash out and then people come into the morning and the person's just dead. When you're Superman, you don't have to explain yourself. I would try. But then at the end of my life as Superman, they'd be like, oh, yeah, by the way, it was all a lie. They were all gonna be just normal people. Well, now you're changing the world from now on.

1:24:39You're ruining the plot twist of your own movie. I should do that in the movie, yes. No, actually, that is a great plot twist where the guy tells people, you don't understand. If I don't do this, they will develop powers and then we will have super power terrorists. You can't control them. They could be weeks away from Superman power. Yeah, and then finally in his death, but he's like, I made it all up. I just wanted to kill somebody. Just like to kill him. He's got to be done in my system. He's three weeks away. Okay, let's do it. That's a funny movie. Now, he'd be like the villain. He wouldn't be the main character, but that would be his motivation. The villain, he's just a serial killer. He makes a face excuse. Well, that's what the United States basically has been doing. They stopped down on anybody that's starting to rise up and then if they get too far to that's like North Korea, they just don't stop down because they got intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles. Let's give this real quick and let's talk about that Ian. Trump floats friendly takeover of Cuba, but says it may not be friendly either. Ladies and gentlemen, it's my birthday and the only thing I've ever wanted, ever, my whole life. I remember being a little kid sitting in my living room just looking out the window at the stars and the sky thinking,

1:25:40I just want to conquer Cuba. And now on this, my 40th birthday, Trump has floated a not-so-friendly takeover. Mr. President, thank you so much. It's all I ever wanted. Do you agree? Shall we invade and conquer Cuba? I would like to see Cuba as part of the American empire. I don't like calling, I shouldn't call it an empire because that's kind of tongue in cheek. I would like to see Cuba not under the control of communist dictators. Well, they don't have any power right now. I'd like to see them sovereign citizens in Cuba with a right portico style. Perhaps, yeah, gun rights, property rights, the right to freedom of speech to speak out against your government. And if you want to participate in the United States, like I'm willing to obey the door of those people for sure. I like that joke where it was like water boarding at Guantanamo Bay sounds really fun until you read about it. Until you know what either of those two things are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Water boarding at Guantanamo Bay. That's, I don't know. I think we might have squandered that one in the Spanish-American war. Yeah, I don't think that the U.S. is going to actually need to take Cuba. If I understand the news reports coming out, they haven't had power in something like a week

1:26:42and the people are rising up, like, people are rising up, like America says, they were going to rise up in Iraq or say they were going to rise up in Iraq. The government's going to collapse. Literally pissed. Cutting off, taking Maduro and seizing back our oil assets in Venezuela, Cuba's now cut off from oil. And so the people are basically at this point saying, I don't care who the boss is. I care about who's got the oil. Think about, that's the ease way to conquer a nation. The people are probably saying, I don't care if you think you're in charge. Like, they're good. Listen, you put it like this. You work for a company and you've got a boss who's like, if you quit, I'll sue you under contract. And then all of a sudden, the paychecks stop coming in. You're like, I don't care what you do at this point. You're not paying me. And if you're working and they're paying you sometimes and then all of a sudden some foreign entity wants to pay you a bigger contract, you're like, why am I still taking this? Give me something. Like, what is the purpose of me staying in this contract anymore? You've been fucking me over for 80 years, Castro. So Raoul, what is like, 90? Castro's not there anymore. Well, it's his brother, is it Raoul?

1:27:42No, it's what a Miguel. Miguel. It's a new guy. Miguel. Your regime was all that country had holding it together. Yeah. And the oil was, if you look at the, you look at the protest. I want to just stress this to the, the people in shit who are like, oh my god, him is a cultist for Trump. No, you're, you're a really low IQ person. So for that, I apologize for you not understanding what was meant to be facetious. I don't think the US should invade Cuba. That was the joke. Yeah, I don't really need to invade Cuba. I think the Cubans have long wanted away from that communist dictatorship. And now with their oil supplies running out, they see de facto. It's in charge. It's looking like the up in Venezuela was successful on multiple fronts. It got in Maduro, the current Venezuelan regime. Yeah, well, the current Venezuelan government is looking to normalize relations, if I understand correctly. The vice president there is saying that she's going to work with the United States. And it also looks like it's going to take Cuba out. I also saw bets on the state of the union

1:28:43as to whether or not Trump was going to parade out Maduro behind him on a chain. Yes, I want to see him come out with like the Gimp mask from, from, from, yeah, pulp fiction, you know, bring out the Gays interview with Alex Jones. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, look, Cuba has been a communist country for, I don't know how many years and if the communist rule ends there, that's a good thing. I think it's an unmitigated good thing. Can you imagine if, before all this is done, if Trump pulls off in Iran, what he pulled off in Venezuela, this is the thing I'm saying like, you know, I was asked by a reporter at the Wall Street Journal how I felt about, you know, the attacks on Iran, the war. And I said, I'd advise against it. I wouldn't vote to support it. I oppose it. And I think it's because we are a, we have post intervention stress disorder as millennials from Iraq and Afghanistan. We, and not to mention the stories of Vietnam, we do not trust that these operations are going to play out the way they claim they will. Nor do we trust the reasons for going in and doing it.

1:29:44That being said, if Trump is able to pull off a regime change without a ground invasion in Iran, which would surprise the whole of me if he could, people are going to be very, very happy about it. And so if, when all this is said and done, Venezuela is looking like said and done. I mean, it's, it's pretty crazy. If Iran ends up the same way and then Cuba falls into the US fold, Trump's going to go down in history as one of the greatest present, not the greatest present we've had ever. Well, at that point, it becomes a legacy play. Yeah. Certainly. I mean, maybe why he wants to do it all. Maybe I, you know, with the Abraham Accords, I think Trump very much was like, I can bring peace to Israel, Palestine. Now, I'm not sure that he actually can, but I think Trump is looking at the world stage saying, I can solve this. And perhaps it's ego driven. Perhaps it's, I want to be the guy who did, or maybe it's ego driven in the sense that I'm smarter than you and I can figure it out better than you. Either way, if it happens, I'll be happy. Frankly, I don't care what the rationale is. If he can get it done, an objectively good thing,

1:30:45I don't care why he's doing it. If he can do the guy who gets it, gets it done, then by all means. You know, if, if Israel gave Trump a billion dollars personally to bring peace to the world, I, I wouldn't care. I don't care the motivation. The point at the point is, think of the most like offensive thing, the most offensive thing, like Trump is secretly getting paid cash in the back room by Israel for foreign policy that brings peace to the world, ends war and conflict, stabilizes trade relations between a bunch of countries. Why would I be mad? Yeah. I mean, two things can be true. Like you could say that that's an objectively bad thing to happen. Like that's a bad reason to be doing stuff. A good reason. Right. A good thing happened because of it. And that's, that's my point. Like what if Trump's motivation for all this world peace is that there's like a small child that he wants to murder just in the middle of tyranny. That's it. That's like my whole life. This is the, there's like just some little kid. He's on Call of Duty and he said he's going to bang Trump's mom and Trump was like, I'm going to find you. And he's like, you can't, I'm in Tehran. He's like, oh yeah. And so he, he brings peace to the Middle East,

1:31:46stabilizes relations all over the world. And it's all just to, to, to try and touch me. My dad's the Ayatollah. Yeah. Give me Obama's number right now. He was playing, uh, he was, he was playing what, what, what, what, what, what, call of duty back in the day. Oh, gee. Do you hear those AIs of him? It would, these are old ones to him and buy and play gold. If you haven't seen them yet, watch those. They're so funny. They're so well done. It's nice to hear them getting along. But on the Cuba thing, I think that Marco Rubio has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Yeah. He's just like looking at a picture of Cuba and like, like, like, rubbing it. You know, in another reason why I mean, it's not like, yeah. Because of Rubio, we seized the Venezuelan government or whatever, but Rubio, putting Rubio there was probably part of the plan to, you know, secure the Central America, I think. He's a master. I love that guy. I'm really impressed with Rubio. Oh, I feel so much better and like, safer with him in the government. If I'm, let him hold you, I'm safe and willing. Well, that would be fine. That would be fine. He comes up behind you and he just embraces you and you know,

1:32:49you're safe in Marco Rubio's arms. Love you, Mark. He's doing it. I was actually, I found him to be uninspiring in, you know, eight years ago, what I recently, the way he's been handling out of this foreign policy stuff and press stuff, I actually think he's not a perfect guy, but he's handled it very professionally, especially considering the political tumult between Democrats or Republicans. He's, he's played it very professionally. I respect it tremendously. One of my biggest criticisms of Trump going back to his first campaign was that his lack of decorum. He, he approaches this from a very abrasive culture warry kind of approach. And JD Vance does that as well. Now, I'll give JD Vance some respect in that he's very tactful and academic in his insults. I can respect that. But Rubio has been very hard for Democrats to go after because he's kept it very professional and calm. Yeah. He hasn't fired back insults or plenty of this dirty games. I'd imagine if they insulted him in some dramatic way, like with Trump, they called him a racist. Rubio's response would be like, well, I'm terribly sorry

1:33:50if I've done something to give you that impression. It's not my intent. Like, he's not going to lash out at him. I mean, we all remember like Marco, from like the, the little Marco, like those days, like everything. I think uninspiring is probably was a good word for him back then, but I honestly, like I had my worries about him taking the role that he has, but I think he's, I agree with you entirely. He's taking it and he's run with it. He's done a very good job. I think his time in the sense probably helped with that too. Yeah. Big time. It was a 20 run for president in 2012. He was one of the 2016, and maybe before that, I know he'd been around before that. And I always study it was a war hawk. But as I've learned more about global geopolitics and they're like, you can't just never go to war when you have the largest military in the planet. You can't just let it all fall. I mean, you have to, you know, use it, use it or lose it. Sometimes you just, you're bored, you got it, you know? I mean, I, I, I want to be decisive with it. Like I don't want to just do it for the sake of doing it. And I want to make sure it actually protects American lives or protects American interests. But if somebody screws with us, I want to show them what $1 trillion a year looks like. Yeah.

1:34:50Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I call the attacks well advised. I'm, I'm skeptical, but hopefully optimistic. But I said that I loved the masculinity of it in that the, the, the, the, the, the Iranians came to the negotiating table saying, we have enough material for 11 bombs and that's where we're starting the negotiation. And Trump's response was like, I'll just kill you. Like, again, I'm not saying that means you should go to war. I'm saying that, that video of Mark Wayne Mullin and O'Brien from the Teamsters Union is just one of the greatest manliest videos on both parts for both of them. I give them both respect. You know what I'm talking about? I don't care. Mark Wayne Mullin is like, he's like reading, he's like, after you left to your Mr. O'Brien, he's a president, Teamsters Union, he's like, you were mouthing off on Twitter. He's like, one of the posts he said was, oh, yeah, where he threatened to, uh, to, like, throw down. Well, he, he, uh, as consenting adults made the offer to throw down. And O'Brien says, let's go.

1:35:51And then he gets up and goes to pull his ring off. And I'm like, we need the men back in the room. So, so funny story about that. I was in DC, like a block away when that happened as I'm looking on my phone and watching this. I'm like, man, I could have had front road seats in the best UFC fight this year. But I gotta, I gotta, so, so, uh, uh, Mark Wayne Mullin reads the tweet where he's like, you know where I am anytime, any place, and then he goes, this is a place now is a time. We can be two consenting adults and then, and then O'Brien goes, okay. And he's like, stand your button because you stand your button, he goes, all right. And then he stands up and goes to pull his wedding ring off and then Bernie Sanders ruined off on. And while you let it stick, if I'm a dog, if I'm not mistaken, I think that, uh, he probably should have read up on Mullin's, uh, combat sports record, he's activated. Yeah, that guy knows how to throw down. I think he's two, two, two, one technical knockout and then two by decision. My, my, uh, Northrop submission, I thought he has a mission. Oh, two by submission and one TKO and two submissions. Okay, way better than the decision bar, but, uh, again, you shouldn't be fighting

1:36:56in Congress. Okay. And you shouldn't do it as much as you want to, but I'm just saying, like, I am sick of this pencil neck, hoity, toity buttoned up. Oh, you know, like, we need strong, decisive men to say do not have with me. You know, this is very much real quick, just final point. What, what, what, what does Trump say? Um, it's, uh, uh, uh, I forgot the phrase, but like, uh, deterrence through strength or whatever he's through strength, the idea is, I like the story of the guy who's sitting in a bar, mining his own business, having a drink and then the loud mouth dudes messing around. And he comes up and tries to start a fight with the guy and the guy says, listen, I'm not, I apologize. I'm not interested. I'm going to, I'm going to be on my way. But then when they finally don't let the guy, it turns out he's much more bad as he beats him all up, you know what I mean? Yeah. I love the movies where the action hero is going, you don't want to fight me, dude. I'm going to leave here. We don't need to do this, but the bad guys are the ones who are like, you, you think and then the good guy shows restraint on her, you know what?

1:38:00The best example of this is a bronx tail. You know that scene, scene of the bronx tail. I will cite it 50 billion times ad nauseam for everybody. So it's, uh, I'll give you the quick version. My boss, here's motorcycles, all right, gruckas walks to the bar. He says, what's the problem? And the bartender says they're not properly dressed. They can't, they can't drink here. And the biker leader says, Hey, look, man, we just want to be here. Just one beer will be on our way. And then sonny goes spoken like a gentleman, give the men their beers. So the mob boss is like, I'm going to be, you, you respect me. I respect to you, right? Then they shake the beers up and spray everybody down. And then sonny goes, once again, honorably, okay, now he's got to go. And they say F you F off. Then he walks over, closes the door and locks it. Turns around and says, now, now you can't leave. And then the narrows like at that moment, they knew they effed up. And the back door pops up and all the good old boys coming with guns and bats and beat the crap out of the bikers. The reason I love that story, he said, spoken like a gentleman. These men were polite, but not properly addressed.

1:39:01So he said, I will treat you with respect. They then chose to disrespect him. And he still showed restraint and said, now you need to leave. And when they still decide it, he says, okay. And they got, they beat the crap out of these guys. That's what it means to be a man. You're able to, but you show restraint because you want to keep the peace and protect those around you. But when bad, when bad an evil comes a look on that corner, you are, you are willing, ready and able to stop it. I think, oh, what's that? Sorry, I just like the biblical interpretation of, oh, the meek shell and her at the earth. It's like, well, one of the translations that I was hearing was, it's not meek as in like weak, you know, it was more of the, those who carry swords, but choose to keep them sheathed. This is a reserved, Julius Caesar. I believe this is what he was, he was the guy. He was the meek one. He had all his legion. It never happens at a good time. The pipe bursts at midnight. The heater quits on the coldest night. Suddenly, you're overwhelmed. That's when home service here. For $4.99 a month, you're never alone.

No purchase necessary, VTW Group. Void, we're prohibited by law. CTNCs, 21 plus sponsored by Chamba Casino. It ends up north all this territory in the Senate started getting very afraid that he was going to be trade them. So they're like, we're going to strip him of all his land and all his soldiers. And he's like, you know, I'm not giving the power up. He's the man in the situation. He's pencil neck, paper pushers are trying to control the world with bureaucracy. And he's like, no, I'm not giving you back. He comes down to Ravenna, you know, close to Rome with one legion and is there to make a negotiation. I just want one province in Croatia and one legion.

1:41:03He had 10. He was giving up nine tenths of his army just to go govern some simple thing and serve Rome. And they still wanted his stuff and wouldn't let him. And finally, he was like, you leave me no choice. And that's the story of Julius Caesar. I love it. That's it. So I got I got ragged on by the liberals. They're like, Kim think it's masculine to go to war. Yes, I do. Indeed. Does that mean you always do it? The fight, the fight you've won is a fight you can avoid, right? That's a saying. So you don't go looking for trouble, but you are damn well prepared to solve the trouble if it comes looking for you. 100% and like that's something that a lot of veteran friends of mine, veteran advocate friends of mine say, if you want to help combat veterans, make less of them. You know, you don't want to go to war for no reason. You know, there's a lot of baggage that comes with it, not only American lives, but a lot of the things that they had to go through and a lot of the things that you still have to take care of afterward. That being said, like you should always be prepared for it when the necessity comes. Again, if you want to screw with us, we will show you what $1 trillion a year looks like. Or they won't even see it.

1:42:04That's the crazy part of it. And they still haven't seen what they're doing. They'll still understand. They'll still understand. And again, and that's the two. Yeah. The issue I take with the attacks on Iran are less to do with that we're going to war, but that we do not have a good track record on regime change. And that is the argument against it. The expense, the waste of time and energy, 20 years, flushed on the toilet in Afghanistan. That being said, you make a great point with the Bill Burk comment that there's plenty of reason to put the smack down on what the Iranians have been doing in the region. It's not about us, about literally everyone else destabilizing it. And so my only hope is that whatever Trump ends up doing, we want to get out cleanly. We don't want a bog down 20 year conflict. It sounds like the rumor in the beltway is they expected to be a couple weeks that they're just going to just bombard this place. And then everybody holds stock in these defense contractors are going to get very wealthy because they got to replenish those armaments. Yeah. I mean, if it's going to, again, if it's going to happen,

1:43:06I hope it happens soon. I hope that we're down. I mean, what are we at right now when it comes to the American life lost? I think it's seven. It's seven? Yeah, I think we're down seven. But I think according to the Iranian ambassador as of today, I think they're at over 1,300. Is there a civilian casualty lists? I don't know, to be honest. And it's hard to know what to believe. I mean, official statements from the US are going to try and rally as much support as possible. They're going to say, you know, Trump saying it's almost done. Maybe it's not who knows. But then of course, on the Iranian side or the pro-run side with Russia, China, they're going to be claiming all of the worst things in the US is intentionally killing children and as one of the stories that came out. Right after the first night of attacks, they claimed the Iatola was still alive. Right. So I really don't trust anything coming out of Iranian press right now. I saw a video on Twitter of a guy driving in Tehran and just fire. And it's like, apparently, this is what it says, the Israeli's struck oil refineries or something. And that it was getting into the sewers

1:44:07and you're blazing fire along the sides of roads and stuff. And I don't know if it's true. For all I know, it's a deep fake video. I saw a lot of, I saw like some of the videos where it first lit off. I don't remember what exactly it was the sewer system or whatever it was that was blown up in the streets. But it seemed like that was pretty legit. It did seem like it. It's just from the multiple angles like that. And I don't want to ever let myself get to the point where I just completely disbelieve everything in front of me. Yeah, I mean, we're getting there. It's getting close. It is kind of hard to tell, especially when you've got people that are so bent on discrediting either side, whether it be people that are counter signaling the United States that are saying, oh, Iran's actually winning. Look, the Iranians, they haven't been launching a lot of drones because they're saving their weapons for later. But I mean, that kind of substance doesn't really make sense because they've already lost. Like you said, 1400 people, there's a bunch of people that have a bunch of people of their senior leadership were taking out the first night and stuff. And it's like, well, what point do you start using your best weapons

1:45:10if it's not to save the people that are, or prevent the people that are in charge from being blown up, you know? And again, I, you know, even hearkening back to, you know, the most power to good ratio or restraint rather, I guess is the better way of putting it. The United States, I think, is the only military on the planet that is limited by its political will and not its ability. Yeah, because if Russia could take Ukraine, they would. Indeed. Like, and there's multiple examples of different, you know, you can name a country and who they'd like to take or what they'd like to do. They'd do it if they could. We're the only ones that hold back because we can, but we choose not to because of the political fallout. But we have the ability. And I think we're seeing that right now. I think we're actually holding back a little bit. I mean, we're holding back a lot. Well, I mean, we have nuke, so. Yeah, well, yeah, there's always that. There was always the next step. I don't think we're ever going to go that far. Carpet bombs even. I mean, there's a, there's a mid-tier the US could be engaging in for sure. We're being strategic, I think specifically

1:46:11to strike military targets without civilian casualties. I mean, we spent billions of dollars developing weapons that'll be able to, if we want, that we can use. Discombobulate. But also that are literally just flying swords, right? Like you can take out an individual person with a hellfire missile that doesn't have a warhead on it. It has literal swords that pop out. The mobile ninja bullet. Oh, yeah, yeah. What has that seen that in? I've never seen it. Yeah, they assassinated a guy with it. It fires blades that just like spit and slice you up. There's a hellfire missile that, when it gets to the target, blades pop out on the side and it will strike the target. There's a couple pictures on the internet of cars that were hit. You can see where the blades went in. And I think the US took out an Iranian, some Iranian fit, an Iranian official with it as well. Is it because it's a, it's like a low yield type thing? No, there's no, there's no explosion. So it just hits like the local area and then it's just moving really fast. It's, yeah, it's with blades, but we're not buildings over. Like that's what I mean, it's less destructive. No, there's barely analog. There is no explosions. It's just, it sounds like an assassin tool.

1:47:12We're going to go to your rumble rants and super chats. So smash that like button and share this show with everyone, you know, my friends. But before we go to your rants, my friends go to timcast.com and click join us and become a member of the discord community. We've got tens of thousands of people that are hanging out the discord. They want to be friends with all of you. And more importantly, it is my 40th birthday, indeed, the big 40. That's it. I'm officially over the hill as per the standard life expectancy, which is course 79 that puts me on the back end. And it's all downhill from here. So the only thing I can do is say, if you'd like to get me a birthday present, please join our community at timcast.com. There's the community is always hanging out. They've got live chat. They've got early shows after shows. And we do the uncensored members only show Monday through Thursday on rumble exclusively. But if you want to call in and hang out with us and talk to us and our guest, you need to join the discord community at timcast.com.

1:48:12So I humbly request my friends. If you want to get me a birthday present, all you need to do is sign up and join the community because it's not just about me. It's about building community itself. And we're trying to make this the principle component of everything that we do. A long standing group of people that become friends, that can work with each other. Because as I enter my 40th year, the one thing that we've been discussing for the past couple of years is I will eventually be unable to work. Who knows? Maybe I'll do this for another 20 years. But there needs to be a mechanism by which other people are able to carry out from everything that we've done. Make friends, build shows, build community structures. And then maybe in 100 years, they will be a new company or the company will still exist. And there will be a big community of people who believe in freedom, truth, justice in the American way and all that good stuff. So again, join us and I appreciate all the birthday wishes and the superchats and rumble rants. But now let's read what you guys have to say with all this. All right, we got disgruntled, but he says general Herrera.

1:49:14When do we, the artistic army, get to buy our AK50? LOL, congratulations on winning. We need more people like you. Well, for first off, I appreciate it. If we were actually going to ever like mass produce, like manufacture the AK50, we'd have to find a very good manufacturing dance partner with that. Because we do not have the capabilities to do that right now. How long did it take to build an AK50? Well, to get the design down and to get it to where it is today, I mean, it's been like nine years, probably nine, 10 years. And this is like, it's a garage project. Like it's something that we would put down and then pick up six months later, wait for parts from a machine shop that kills the project for four months. You know, that sort of thing. But we'd need somebody like we worked with Titans of CNC on some of that. They were incredible to work with. We would need somebody like that to partner with on the manufacturing side. Because I mean, we're a bunch of idiots in a garage. We don't have that sort of mass production capability. Right on. All right, let's see what we got here. Code Man Red says, I don't know how you did it,

1:50:14but started watching TNG. And it seems we were watching this in episodes. The last two starter references to made were episodes. I just watched last week, fifth wall broken. Well, it's because when I got sick, I started the series over again. And I've been just watching all the episodes. I'm also rewatching Deep Space Nine, which I just got to stress, guys. The last three seasons of Deep Space Nine are just so incredible. And I really do recommend you watch it. I again, I get frustrated with people who are just like, I don't like sci-fi. But if you really just ignore the sci-fi stuff, I don't care for the aliens or whatever. Have you ever watched Deep Space Nine? Yeah, apparently, I think I was told by my father that I was born while he was watching Deep Space Nine. So he was trying to like switch between like, pipe down, woman. It is, it is, it is prescient. And the writing is interesting and it makes you think and it's relevant to what is going on today. So we've talked about the episode in the pale moonlight, which may be one of the best episodes of television just in general, where the federation stages a false flag

1:51:17to trick one of their, one of their rival nations that are joining the war on their side. Well, that would never happen in real life. I'm just saying, it's amazing to watch how they wrote this stuff out. But also just the beginning of the Dominion War in general. So basically, there is a military faction that repeatedly ascending military vehicles to a, let's just call it a country in Star Trek. And eventually, the federation says they're at the point where they have built up an army where they could launch an attack on all fronts, you know, all federation frontiers. And we would get crushed. So they, they mine a wormhole, the entrance to where these vehicles are coming through, which triggers the beginning of the war. And then from there, it's just, it's war stuff. It is the politics of war, conflict, disaster economy. It's really interesting writing to side by setting, but man, I cannot stress how good that's, avoid your happened and we all kind of rolled around. I want to shout out Johnny Frakes and Brent Spiner. You guys, they got a show on YouTube called drop in names

1:52:18with Brent Johnny. That's, that's Commander Riker and Data from Star Trek Next Generation. They're badass human beings. You've gone and done it Ian. You've gone and done it. You've triggered me. Jonathan Frakes recently was talking about how people don't like Starfleet Academy, the new shows. And he's directed a couple episodes of the latest stuff. And Jonathan Frakes, you are an absolute legend. And you add one of the best voices to the Star Trek universe. But good sir, please hear me if you ever hear this. If you want to understand why people don't like new Trek, the point he made was that when they launched the next generation, Trekkies got really offended because they replaced the cast and crew and it was a new like fake version of the show. And yes, indeed, but I was a little kid and I grew up watching you. And so understand the original Trek audience and the audience that I exhibit in habit are it's a Venn diagram. We overlap but we are not the same. So when I watch the next generation in Deep Space Nine literally throughout the 90s,

1:53:19I'm a little kid in the early 90s and the show's already been on the air. I think it first aired in 87, I'm one. Understand this. The brilliant quotes, the interesting logic, philosophy, conflict that exists in the next generation, Deep Space Nine. And even to a certain degree, a devoider does not exist in Starfleet Academy in these new shows. For example, there is one of the, there's just so many great quotes. One of the lead is that I absolutely love is Data of the Android loses. Let's just call it chess. He's playing a game called Stretagema against a master who beats him and he's supposed to be unstoppable. He's an Android. So he finds himself defective and says something must be wrong with me. I need to figure out why I'm not functioning properly. And so he basically calls him sick thinking that if he can't solve this properly, something must be wrong. And then the captain comes to him and says, you are my second officer, you need to do your job and stop doubting yourself. And Data says, but there must be a defect. And then we get one of the greatest quotes ever. He says, he says, Commander,

1:54:21it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose that is not weakness, that is life. That is what I'm talking about with Starfleet in the next generation. That's the kind of great writing that we got in the early 90s. Now you have some, like the sci-fi makes no sense, a permeable hologram that becomes sick because she's not really permeable or something. And she says, I can't deal with your mid-day energy before I even pulled my underwear up my butt. That kind of quote is deeply offensive to those who were inspired by the moral philosophies of the 90s Star Trek era. But now they're edgy and they say the F word on Star Trek. Oh yeah. Yeah, my dad also just texted me to correct me. It was Voyager that I was born to, not Deep Space Nine. Oh, shout out. And you know what? As much as we all ragged on Voyager, it is a masterpiece compared to what they have given us today. I should be co-easier on Voyager and Deep Space. I think it was the exact same thing that John was saying. I felt like they were cheap new fake casts

1:55:21because I remember, I felt like that for next generation. I was like, where's Spock? But then I immediately started falling out of the Picard and Riker and like data. And then same phenomenon again. And I didn't give the other shows a chance. I always liked Picard better. Picard's the best. But I understand. I understand. When I start watching Star Trek, I'm a little kid watching the next generation. I see that first. It's on TV. I'm a little kid singing my couch. My dad's watching it. I'm watching it. I didn't see the original series until years later when I was like, I love this. I want to watch more. And then I was like, you know, Kirk's good. But Picard is fantastic. I do think it's a little cheap how they were like, we're going to shoehorn in some character traits about him like he doesn't like kids. And then they try to make that a thing but it really doesn't work for Picard's character. Anyway, I feel like for a long time, the baton got passed down to new people who loved the original source material or at the very least respected it. Yeah. And nowadays that's just not a requirement. And that's not just a Star Trek thing. That's a Star Wars halo, whatever. It almost seems like what the exception of Fallout, it's like you're required to hate or disrespect

1:56:23what everything that led to you having that job built on. Yep. I'm glad you said about Fallout. I haven't seen the new show of 76 or Fallout. I've been playing Fallout 76 and I haven't seen, sorry. Well, it's got better. It launched horribly in 2017, a miserable wreck of a game. And now it's well worth the money. Have you guys heard about the new game Marathon that's bombing from Bungie? Yep. No. Guys, I'm sick of this stuff, right? So game rant, Marathon is being review bombed. No, it isn't. It's just a bad aesthetic. The game looks terrible. So this is Bungie. They made Destiny. I played Destiny incessantly. And Destiny 2 as well, did all the raids, you know? Went to the moon. Went to Titan? Is that where you're open? I don't know. It's been a long time, man. Been a long time. Went to Mars. And Halo, of course, I didn't play as much. But Halo 5, Bungie launches a new game, Marathon. And the characters are disgusting. They're like weird mannequin robots or something?

1:57:26I gotta tell you, Concorde. The game bombed miserably. $400 million flop. It's considered to be the biggest flop in the history of all media period for humans. $400 million production, zero profit, zero. Zero revenue. They sold 25,000 copies and then refunded all the money when the game flopped within 11 days. They canceled it. They're like zero gross, zero dollar gross. Zero, completely zero. The characters were all gross and weird and had pronouns. One of the characters was a morbidly obese-like like Native American looking guy. Why would anyone want to play these games? And aesthetic matters. Marvel Rivals is now one of the top games. Why? All the women look like they're naked. Their suits are basically just their skin color. That's how comic books do it. All the men are insanely jacked like they have 2% body fat. And everybody wants to play the game. And they want to be the superhero. Every time, have you guys, did you guys see Dakota Johnson to the topless head for Calvin Klein?

1:58:28Sexy is back, okay? I was saying whatever Justin Timberlake was bringing back, that wasn't it because after he made that song, they brought in a bunch of morbidly obese people to Calvin Klein. So whatever he thought was sexy, that's not working. Now, did you see Jaguar when they did their superhero like the the stock depletion that happened at that point? So then they said, hey, look, what was it? Who did Sidney Sweeney do the jeans? What jeans was that? American, Levi? Oh, no, no. I didn't get that right. I think it was. American Eagles. Nobody's not bad. Dakota Johnson did Calvin Klein, where she's topless, and she's basically reading like lines about a sexy woman. I think people finally realized with ozempic, we are aspirational. So when they did all this body positivity stuff, and they were like, you can be fat. What they were really saying is you are fat and we're trying to sell you a product. And then once they made ozempic, and all the women got skinny, now they're like, okay, let's bring back the naked chicks again. Yeah.

1:59:28Girls be getting horny. No, the issue is, I explain this in a segment this morning. The commercial with Dakota Johnson, topless with her hair over her boobs, and she's doing sexy poses, it's not for men. I'm so glad she made that. I got to watch. It is not for men to watch. Are you sure because I'm about to pour out? Yeah, because you don't buy Calvin Klein. What they want to do is they want women to watch that, and then think I can be sexy like her because men like that. It's a commercial for women to be aspirational. So in your opinion, we're bringing back body negativity. Yes. I don't think there's a negativity. I think it's correct body positivity. I mean, I know, I objectively agree. I'm messing around. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that you should aspire to be fit. You should aspire to be healthy. You know, there are these like, all throughout human history, we've had these paragons of what, you know, the proper male and female form should be, even if you can't get there, you can aspire to it as close as you want. And the byproduct is, you're healthier because of it. Yep, you live longer, you live happier. Body positivity should have always been encouraging people

2:00:28to get fit in a positive way, cheering them on. I think saying you can do it. RFK, man, we don't talk about him a lot because he doesn't do like military, you know, but I think he's like the unsung hero of the decade, like man of the year, maybe in retrospect, people realize how he's saved a nation by stripping some of these toxins out of the diet. And to be, I don't think a lot of the stuff that he's doing, like the whole maha, like make America healthy again movement, I don't see why that should be polarizing. It's like, okay, let's take the poison out of our food, let's stop feeding slop to our children, let's maybe get them to be a responsible weight, teach him how to do a push up, like that should be all basic stuff that we all agree with. Yeah, it's just about the polarization now. He's associated with Trump, so he's got to be a bad guy, you know, which is ridiculous, but. Yeah, it's kind of like poor propagandicus. I don't know, it works, but sometimes it doesn't. I mean, his work is apparent. I think his work is showing because there's something that he says now that I, I truly like it struck a chord. It's something along the lines of it. I don't want to put words in his mouth,

2:01:29but it's something along along the lines of one of these days, I truly hope you love your children more than you hate Trump. Like that hits hard. It really does. Let's grab some more of these rumble rants. We got D. Sage who says, I agree with Brandon, clankers are not people. Ian will kill us all. What? No, I'm here to help. Clankers are not people, it's true. I think there's enough people. Jay Hamlin says, wait, it's Tim's birthday, and we get Brandon as a present. Thanks, Tim. Also on around bombing hotels, I heard the reason might be because most troops were relocated off base, probably civilian locations. Then they targeted civilian locations, and it makes them look really bad. I mean, it is what it is. I actually think clankers are people. I just don't think they're human, but they have personalities like dogs. Clankers. Clankers, why is YouTube giving me the business? YouTube's always giving us business. You guys ever speak pig Latin for fun? No, I just did. YouTube VA, you take the first letter of the word, you put it at the end of the word, and then A, after it. Why is it called pig Latin? I don't know.

2:02:30I wonder if that's a racist thing, and I just displayed that for. All right. I always take up lines. Let's be honest, we have Mikey says, I am keeping the tradition and say, my wife is delivering baby number two. Right now, welcome, baby Clara, and now my wife just gave me the look. Pray for me. Congratulations, guys. If she's on the delivery table, you don't have to worry about her getting up, chase you around, she can give you the look all she wants. Much much your wife. We got a lot of birthday wishes. I appreciate all of the birthday wishes. All right, RFH isn't keeping with long standing Tim Kass tradition. I'll announce the arrival of my new baby son, Bruce Buffer voice. Weighing in at five pounds, 13 ounces, standing at a whopping 19 inches long. Carter, Asher, Rush. Love you guys. There you go. Congratulations. Good name. Yes. All right, the Brankish show says military operations, declaration of war, declaration of war, resets entire US to a wartime footing, rights suspended industries ordered about drafts.

2:03:31Only Congress can do that. President can still fight in defense of our nation without that. You heard Carolyn Levitt wouldn't said Trump won't rule out a draft. Yeah, but I think that's a draft. It was it seemed like that was out of context because I watched the full clip. Well, it's fair to say that asking, give us your military strategy publicly right now. Yeah, you can't. There's not going to be a draft though. Yeah, if you never rule it out as a commander, you always have to keep the option open. Well, yeah, we get invaded. They're going to give you a gun, Ian. Could you imagine? We'd be desperate. I bet they would not be shooting lately, actually. Well, I mean, hit me up if you need. I know a guy. Yeah, that could be cool. I kind of want to shoot that AK 50. Do you let people put hands on it and friends? How many rounds of you put this? That's as well. I mean, at this point, it's like, it's got to be at least over 500, 600 rounds. Wait for a 50 kill. That's quite a bit. Does it hold up well? Pretty good. We're always finding more stuff to kind of screw with. Like more things were not like super happy about

2:04:33like little little nitpicks. We're like, OK, well, that should be about 10% tighter. You know, different stuff like that. What would happen if you hit a deer with it? Honestly, it's less impressive than you think. A lot of people think that if you hit something with a 50 cow, oh my God, it explodes. If you nicks somebody, it'll blow their arm off. It's not true. Basically, what's going to happen is it's going to go straight through. There's going to be a crazy exit. Yeah. And then 70%, 80% of the force of that bullet is going to go into the tree behind it. Yeah. Well, that's not so fun. Yeah, it's I wanted to hear the deer will explode into a fine mist. It's the less impressive answer, but it's unfortunately there any kind of ammo that could cause some catastrophic explosion to a deer. Because they're big. Well, can you get a 50 cow? It's a soft point. Like a hollow point, you know, I'll have the lunch. You know, maybe that's maybe that's the new business. You and I open together, maybe we just start making a soft point or a ballistic tip, 50 cow. There you go. Hunting ammunition, you know, all right. All right.

2:05:33Let's grab a couple more here. I don't know what this means. I don't know if I can read it, but I'll read it anyway. Political overtone says, dirty plops and pepperbacks for Brandon Bibera. Unfortunately, I understand that language. It's our streaming platform, Pepper Box. We invented a new slur for the people that are there on the platform. It's dirty plops and pepperbacks. Oh, that sounds highly offensive. It does. We legitimately had a strategy meeting for what is the most offensive sounding thing we can call our subscribers? And they just ran with it. What is it, plops and dirty plops and pepperbacks? Pepperbacks. Here's one, a drive by, or drive B. So I want to congratulate Brandon on his fourth Victoria Cross and his second legion of merit. Hi, I got nothing. I guess a four-bow ballerina. Crowder this morning said he wasn't sure if you were a veteran or not. It is clear that the joke has gone too far. The worst valor of the unsubscribed

2:06:34has permeated actual politics. Oh, I wonder if while you're in Congress, there's going to be a story about fake valor. They already tried. Really? During the primary, they already legitimately tried. It's like, oh, yes, you stole one of the photos that we put up of a private comedy show and tried to pretend I was stealing valor while we raised over a million dollars for veteran charities and such. It's like, okay, well, you know, the thing about politics is nobody really cares about telling the truth. Indeed, they want to see no good deed goes unpunished. Results. Let's see what we got here. So we have a, we had a goal of 50 superchats. If 50 superchats were met, Tim will have a happy birthday. Unfortunately, only 37 superchats, which means I love a sad birthday. I was kidding, guys. I just put up there as a gag. How are you feeling now? Literally, I feel the exact same as I felt yesterday. Didn't make you uncomfortable that it didn't hit the mark or anything. Oh, no, I feel pretty good too. No, I had a really great birthday present.

2:07:36I went all in with Ace Queen against Ace King, hit a queen on the flop and it held and I defeated him. And it feels really good when that happens. There you go. That's right. Was there a big pot involved? Yeah, we were both all in. Oh, very nice. Yep. And I knew I was cooked and I think Ace King versus Ace Queen, I like 24% or something, but that queen hit and it held. And that was the universe saying happy birthday. You, you bad beat somebody. All right, what do we have here? Martin Edgar says a teenager in Michigan made a nuclear reactor in his shed from old smoke detectors, 50, 54 Tim and Brandon's campaign. It is indeed a famous story. It is indeed a famous story. Do not do it. Do not do it. You will get sick and you will die. Do not radiate yourself. Michael, Michael Soholt says, Happy birthday Tim. Today is also my oldest daughter's 19th birthday. I'm a 40 year old marine vet and love your show. I've been listening to you since before you launched IRL. Here, here sir.

2:08:37Thank you so much. And happy birthday to your daughter. It's a good birthday. It is indeed the peak of Pisces. So for those that's awesome. For those that track that. And my signs are Pisces Pisces Leo. Son and Moon Pisces rising Leo. Why would you got that lion energy? Lion energy. Like that water that flow. That's right. Be like the flow. And Leo's fire, right? Anyway, we are going to go the uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL and take calls from you all are beautiful discord members. So make sure you go there to hang out. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast, Brennan. Do you want to shut anything up? I would like to shout out the voters of Texas 23 who put me in this position. I'm forever grateful to be your voice in Congress. And if you'd like to go check out the campaign and things we stand for, it's Brennan Herrera for congress.com. I'd also like to shout you out. Have a very happy birthday. And I appreciate you putting me back, brother. Oh, yeah, absolutely, man. Really excited for it. We need more real people in Congress. We got to get all the bad and come pence out

2:09:39and get all the good people in. It really is promising that you're going in. I know you got the election coming up near the end of the year. What when is it exactly? It's the first Tuesday in November. But honestly, we were prepped to go to the runoff. I know a lot of the stuff happened that caused Tony to drop out, but we still, at the end of the day, we still beat him in the original primary. So it's crazy. It's been a crazy turn of events. I'll say it that way. Vote. There is no sure thing. You vote in November. You vote Republican in Texas. If you want to vote, I don't know, you're going as a Republican. I imagine I never really even asked. Are you independent? Or what? Does it even matter these days? I don't know. Well, yes. We were on the Republican ticket trying to get out like just a really bad Republican incumbent, a total like, I know the terms overused, but a rhino. And we succeeded in that goal. And we, again, it was not by a big margin. So your vote really does matter. It's really good to see you, man. Thanks for coming. I'm at Ian Cross and find me on the internet at Ian Cross. And also go to graphene.movie and check out this trailer for this graphene documentary that we're building. It's badass in anotech. Like if you want to get some white pill energy, look into the new scientific breakthroughs,
