Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cartel Violence in Mexico & US Government Response

• Situation Recap:
  • Mexico remains in chaos following the US-assisted capture of cartel boss El Mencho.
  • No significant updates or official American response since the team’s emergency broadcast the previous night (03:21).
• Host Opinions:
  • Mike: “I've seen nothing but continued chaos… I kind of saw where some people say we should not mess with the cartels.” (03:36)
  • Tyler: Calls out the absence of public statements from US agencies, describing the silence as “very, very quiet.” (04:09)
• Jimmy Watson’s (Navy SEAL) Take:
  • Suggests governments are not serious about confronting cartels:
    "As long as you're doing these publicity stunts and taking out onesies and twosies... you're not serious… Until you're ready to have a no bluff, boot-on-neck policy, shut the hell up and stop messing around." (04:46-05:49)
• Trump's Position:
  • Trump’s Truth Social post: “Mexico needs to step up their effort on cartels. Do what you gotta do.” (06:07)
  • US provided intelligence, but “he's putting it on them.” (06:08)
• Dan Crenshaw Weighs In (citing Instagram post):
  • Criticizes Watson’s take, insisting there are “daily ops” happening, Mexico is slowly accepting US assistance, and calls for more informed commentary:
    “Maybe research the subject.” (06:59)
  • Hosts challenge lack of detail in Crenshaw’s claims:
    "If it's so easy to find that Mexico is not accepting assistance from the United States, can someone cite something?" (07:38)
• Hosts Debate:
  • Question sincerity of both US and Mexican efforts, comparing the situation to the Afghan withdrawal (10:46).
  • Discuss risk for Americans trapped in Mexico, speculating it could justify escalation.

---

2. Breakdown of US & Mexican Operations Against Cartels

• Boots on the Ground:
  • Per Jimmy Watson: Only “18 Navy SEALs” in Mexico, present only for training – no direct action (16:11).
  • Main US involvement is intelligence support, primarily from the DEA (16:27).
  • Intelligence operations possibly involved “Task Force Orange” for actionable intelligence.
• Discussion of Mexican Capability:
  • Hosts and Jimmy Watson doubt Mexican government’s willingness or capability to take on cartels independently (19:36).
  • New Mexican president is widely believed to be compromised by the cartels and not included in US operational planning (20:48).
• Media Silence:
  • Hosts are shocked by US media disinterest, comparing Mexican near-civil-war conditions to superficial American news priorities (24:28).
• Cartel Firepower:
  • Mexican cartels are better equipped than local authorities—photos show them in armored vehicles vs. police in pickup trucks (25:30).

---

3. Geopolitical Military Update: Iran

• Jimmy Watson’s Briefing (26:41):
  • US has multiple carrier strike groups and 14 ships positioned near Iran.
  • 60+ attack aircraft, 10k+ personnel, and significant strike and refueling capability staged in the region.
  • Predicted playbook: heavy initial bombing, attempt by Iran to mine the Strait of Hormuz, with US countering via air/sea power (32:34).
  • 75th Ranger Regiment is staged in Kuwait for potential downed pilot rescue or site exploitation.
  • Distinction: This would not be a ground war, but air/sea; notably, US Marines are absent from this buildup.

---

4. Open Source & Critical Commentary

• Credibility and Sourcing:
  • Jimmy Watson stresses the challenge of vetting sources, relying on multiple points of intelligence and community network (43:15).
• Meta-commentary on Current Events:
  • “Three schmucks” see a complicated situation ignored by the “legacy media.” (24:00)
• Conspiracy Sidebar:
  • Ends segment with a half-ironic discussion of wild online conspiracy theories (Selena Gomez clone, Challenger disaster, etc.). (57:11–60:21)

---

5. Sports Segment

a. UFC—Sean Strickland

• Strickland’s Win:
  • Upsets Hernandez as an underdog; praised for his unique, relentless style (71:12).
  • Controversial for using inflammatory, race- and sexuality-based trash-talk in interviews, ramping up when mainstream media/Paramount tries to rein him in (83:47).
  • Notable Moment:
    “You want to see the last American in the sport going [Chechen opponent] up, and that's what's gonna happen.” (84:12)

[Tyler]

Wow. So I have seen no updates since our emergency broadcast last night.

[Mike]

Nope.

[Tyler]

No updates at all in America's involvement in the craziness that is Mexico right now.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Have you seen but also has it calmed down?

[Mike]

I've seen nothing but continued chaos. I kind of saw where some people are starting to say that we should not mess with the cartels. Kind of let them do what they want to do. And I know Trump's meeting with the. There's like a peace conference or something going on. I wonder if he's going to speak about it there.

[Tyler]

But he's dealing with Iran right now, right? Is that what his peace talking Iran?

[Mike]

I get his way over there. Mexico's right here, dude. This is, this is to me is much more.

[Tyler]

And I would think that we'd have three letter agencies that would be addressing this at some point. Even a state, even a tweet, something.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's been very, very quiet.

[Tyler]

So we have, I actually have. We have some seawan seal action. Old Jimmy Watson gave his opinion as he always does and what's. I'm gonna play that and we're gonna check that out right now.

[Mike]

Players all over the Mexican government needs to give the cartel whatever they want and they do not need to touch another cartel member. That goes for the American government as well.

[Tyler]

Leave the cartel alone.

[Mike]

Because as long as you're doing these publicity stunts and taking out onesies and twosies of the cartel, you're not serious. But one day when you're sick and tired of your own country being ravaged by these freaking thugs who will stand up with the ultimate stance of violence of act action and you'll finally bring down the hammer of Thor on these thugs. Balls with a determination from hell in a willingness to single out every single bad actor and crush them with the full power and might of your military and everything at your disposal. But until you're ready to bring total chaos and destruction on the cartel, stop

[Tyler]

playing with Civilians lives because all the

[Mike]

Mexican and American government is doing is playing. Playing little publicity stunts, making you believe that they're actually trying to do something. So until you're ready to have a no bluff boot on neck policy, shut the hell up and stop messing around.

[Jimmy Watson]

Fires all over the.

[Tyler]

I'm not gonna lie, dude. I somewhat agree with that. Yeah.

[Mike]

Trump did throw out a true social tweet, whatever you want to call it, whatever he calls it on there, that basically said Mexico needs to step up their effort on cartels. Do what you gotta do.

[Tyler]

He's putting it on Mexico.

[Mike]

Yeah. And. But obviously the other info is we helped with the intelligence to locate

[Tyler]

El

[Mike]

Mencho, so we assisted somewhat. We talked about last night. We had a bounty on him, and we assisted with intel to get him. But Trump basically said, okay, now do something with your cartels.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So he's putting it on them, which

[Tyler]

I don't think they have the capability

[Mike]

of doing based on what I've seen.

[Jimmy Watson]

They don't.

[Tyler]

So in. In reaction to that. Let's see here. Old Dan Crenshaw, another Navy seal. Oh, posted. Posted on Instagram. Well, let's check out, guys. I want to go ahead and address

[Mike]

fires all over the.

[Tyler]

Dan says leave cartels alone. That's quite the take. True, they need to go full throttle. But also, this guy referencing Jimmy Watson has. This guy knows absolutely nothing about the daily ops going on every day against the cartels. He knows nothing, and also knows nothing about Mexican capabilities and internal obstacles to winning this counterinsurgency war. Mexico needs to accept US Military assistance, and they are, but they're doing it too slowly. That's the issue. If you're gonna yell at a camera with a strong opinion, maybe research the subject.

[Mike]

Dan, Dan, Dan.

[Tyler]

I mean, so Dan. I wish Dan would elaborate on Mexico not accepting American assistance because. Also not saying he ever lied. I don't know. It's alleged. But Dan has also fabricated or omitted things to make it seem like he's lying to the American people. So if it's so easy to find that Mexico is not accepting assistance from the United States, can someone cite something?

[Mike]

Why. Why do you think he picked Jimmy Watson to respond to drama? I mean, honestly, you're.

[Jimmy Watson]

You're.

[Mike]

You're a congressman and you find. You find Jimmy Watson and pinch off his. His take. It just. Everything's strange to me. Like, you're right. You know so much. You have an idea or you know that they're not accepting aid and say that you just basically said, oh, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about and and but didn't elaborate or give any intelligent information back. It just, you know, it seems like he wants a war with. He wants to go out with Jimmy. Why he wants to come on here and go at it with Eddie now he wants to go out with Jimmy Watson. It looks like Dan's just trying to get out it with somebody and get

[Tyler]

a response or maybe Dan's trying to help the American people and the Mexican people. We don't know. Yeah, it's alleged.

[Mike]

It could be. It could be that maybe. Yeah, sure. Responding to Jimmy Watson helps.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean I'm sure Jimmy's still asleep right now, so he's not tracking that. But I was gonna say something else too that to do with. Oh, I mean remember when Jimmy Watson and Jimmy Watson did the same thing to strong Sean Strickland? That was. That's what put Jimmy Watson on the map. Do you know that?

[Mike]

No.

[Tyler]

Strickland came out and said Navy Seals are a bunch of.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Jimmy Watson's big blow up was when he went out and pub. He actually it was perfect timing. He also went on a big podcast and said it so it's not like he just said it from his own platform. He went on a bigger podcast and put Sean Strickland in his place and then that's when Jimmy Watson started.

[Mike]

Strickland respond oh no, that's a.

[Tyler]

That's bar.

[Mike]

He liked one of my posts one time. I was all excited

[Tyler]

circle it.

[Lewis]

Oh yeah.

[Mike]

I can't remember what it was. It was was on my personal. That was on Cotville. He liked something. I was like all right cool.

[Tyler]

Just give me that follow there dog.

[Mike]

I'm working on it. Dude.

[Tyler]

That's a power move for some people. They like all your like a stalker but then they don't.

[Mike]

I was only one. I'm not gonna fabricate it was one but we'll talk about him in a little bit. We got some stuff on Strickland there

[Tyler]

when we enter the sports section of the Monday episode. But yeah, I mean a little bit more about the cartels. There's nothing more than we covered.

[Mike]

We know there's a Mary we covered last night. We know there's Americans stuck down there. We know there's a. We see that the cartels appear to be out equipped, over equipped or more equipped than the police. Obviously rules of engagement are going to be different for the cartel versus the the local police. And I can't imagine being stuck down there and I think that's where maybe if we do decide to get more involved, if we start hearing that a lot of Americans are trapped or, or stuck at an airport, maybe, I think

[Tyler]

that gives us more credible reasons to, to, to move. But also, I mean, it's, you know, it's, there's a there, it's. It reminds me of the pull out in Afghanistan. We got all these people on our side to go against, you know, the Taliban, and then we pop smoke and we're like, you got it, right?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And they're like, what?

[Mike]

Well, we've been saying you got it for a while. And then, you know, that's where it's kind of confusing to me is, is if you're going to help provide intel to take out a top guy, you know it was coming. You knew it was coming. These guys, these cartels aren't going to just lay down.

[Tyler]

They've shown that they're not. When we took out, when we captured the one El Chapo son.

[Mike]

Yeah. So we knew it was coming, but

[Tyler]

we didn't do that. They did that. Sorry.

[Mike]

So it's like, what, what did you expect? And did you consider tourism, people trapped at airports, everything you're seeing, did the United States consider that when they say, hey, by the way, the guy you want to kill is right here. Go, go do it. But you need to step it up too. And, and it's. We'll be interesting to see what happens.

[Tyler]

Do you think that we asked them if they wanted to do that or do you think we told them, you have to do this for America's interest also Handle your. Once we're done?

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't know. I would think that. I don't think we asked too many people and we still don't know who actually did it. You know, we're saying, oh, it was given to them. But, you know, we're talking last night, like Cece was saying, speculated that maybe we had some military people involved. We don't know.

[Tyler]

We'll get Jimmy on in a minute. Maybe he's got some more intel that we don't have on the cartels or at least on what's going on right now. I think we've exacerbated everything that we know because I heard something last night that it wasn't special operations that had any involved.

[Mike]

It might be none at all. I mean, it's early, it's speculative, but we definitely provided in. I mean, everything I've seen, we provided the intel to figure out where he was. But, you know, normally we, what we do over there now we're gone. We're gone from over. Over in Afghanistan or all that. We hit somebody with a rocket and then just go, ah, we got him. You know, Trump gets on there and this is right here. This is a different type of like,

[Tyler]

do we know how we got him?

[Mike]

No, no one knows. They captured one guy and then like, CeCe was saying, oh, he's got to be on American soil. That's what I'm saying. If we. If you think that we obviously had to be involved in some way.

[Tyler]

Yeah. We weren't at the border, just doing

[Mike]

like, oh, yeah, we'll wait right here for you. So, interesting stuff. Interesting stuff, right? Larry Lewis. Very interesting.

[Jimmy Watson]

Very interesting.

[Mike]

Yeah, those are on the ball today.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's over there coding behind her back.

[Mike]

So. No, he's ready to go. You beat him up bad last week.

[Tyler]

I did not. I did not. Also, by the way, it's 45 degrees here in Central Florida, which is insane because I was at my son's lacrosse game on Saturday, and It was like 90 almost. I was sweating in shorts and a tank top, and now the studio is a refrigerator.

[Mike]

I had no idea. I got up early, took the dogs out, and I got like two steps out the door. I came back and my wife's like, what'd you think of that? You had no idea it was that cool, did you? I didn't.

[Tyler]

It happened. I was here last night. I got in the car and. Yeah. So if you didn't catch our emergency broadcast, it's only on YouTube, I think. But we. We covered it as quickly as we could. Was the most information we had. And we thought there was going to be more information, but it turns out there's not that much more information. Even though we kind of knew that was going to happen. I made the thumbnail. No American Response or. No. Something strange. No way. I'd made that at 7 in the morning knowing that most likely there was. If there's not something within an hour, it's not coming.

[Mike]

Yeah. I can't believe there's been anything that's strange. Yeah. Marco. Ruby hasn't said anything. Like, Trump hasn't said anything. It was a crazy weekend, too. I mean, we got other topics to cover. Assassination attempt, breach of the Mar a Lago. There's some wild to happen this weekend,

[Tyler]

but you want to get into that stuff later?

[Mike]

Yeah, we cover that later. If you want to bring Jimmy in about the.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Jimmy's got some. Jimmy. Good morning, cast. What's up, bro?

[Jimmy Watson]

Good morning, gentlemen. I hope everybody's got their War hats on. And as you can see, I put

[Tyler]

in the order two weeks ago. It's here now. Two weeks.

[Mike]

A liar, dude. Such a liar. I got custom hats already shipped out, man.

[Tyler]

So before the, I know you were going to talk about lots of things, but we, I wanted to kick it off with your opinion on the whole cartel situation.

[Jimmy Watson]

Okay. So before that, to address the 45 degrees in Florida situation, I've brought out the waffle top yet again because I got up this morning and let a dog outside and my testicles retreated inside my body. So I was like, all right, this is, this is bad news Bears. So I'm glad I'm not the only one that was freezing. So what do I know about what happened with the cartels? The most of the strikes were supported through intelligence, but not with boots on the ground. There were. The only boots on the ground right now that are, that anybody is ever talking about are the 18 Navy SEALs that are there for foreign internal defense. They're, they're training people.

[Mike]

That's all they're doing.

[Jimmy Watson]

So, you know, now don't get me wrong, 18 seals is great, but they, there's a lot more support that would be needed for them to start doing stuff. Yeah.

[Tyler]

So you're saying that Mexico, other than the intelligence assistance, Mexico handled that on their own?

[Jimmy Watson]

Pretty much. There, if there was agencies involved, it would have been like support. They would have been like, you know, advisors, not like troops. So, yeah, I think that I, I, Mike is going to know more than I will, but the rumor that I have is that the DEA was the, was the biggest organization involved.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, that's who had the, the reward on Adam.

[Tyler]

That makes sense.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Having three letter agencies advising makes a lot more sense in military.

[Mike]

I mean, the DA is only providing intelligence. Those dudes are not coordinating anything.

[Tyler]

Department of Homeland Security, anything to do with it. The I.A. yeah, that's what I'm saying, man.

[Jimmy Watson]

That's no CIA.

[Mike]

No.

[Jimmy Watson]

It would probably have been much more Task Force Orange or, you know, the, the intelligence support activity.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

DHS has to be for the border protection alone.

[Jimmy Watson]

Like the border side. Yes, but, but their reach only goes to the border because it's, you know, they can't go outside the homeland. It's part of their job. They stay in the homeland. So the, the intelligence support activity. Because when you look at the intelligence and this again is one of those things that, like when I explain it to you, it makes sense, but you know, most people don't understand it. The Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, those big three letter intelligence organizations, they specialize in intelligence from that's, you know, one government to another or, or this deep political game of thrones. The intelligence support activity or task force orange is about what door to kick and who's behind it. Those are the people that were involved and we're, I mean, again, I just did a show on them and then they started popping up on my radar for this. So.

[Tyler]

Okay. Do you think he's on American soil? Probably.

[Jimmy Watson]

If I actually, if I had to say American soil, I. I would say he's probably on a steel deck of a ship somewhere. International waters. Gives a lot more opportunities to do things.

[Tyler]

I'll just leave to ask the serious questions that need to be asked.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you guys. Did you guys see the video I sent to you this morning to, to you and Copville? You know, it's like it's this, this old crusty cop who's like, I. We can't get him to talk. He won't say anything. This cop goes in there and sets up a PO Mask set.

[Mike]

He'll talk now.

[Tyler]

No, I haven't checked my.

[Mike]

What, what do you. So how about this? Yeah, you got. Mexico knows these cartels exist. They don't do anything. It takes the D A to put a hit or give the intel to go do this. What, what do you think about that whole concept that up until they don't care, right. Does Mexico just not care about cartels and they're just going to let them run wild? Or why is it, why does it take the United States D A to get in involved to make them take out some of these top guys.

[Jimmy Watson]

So I just watched a video from the current president of Mexico who basically said that it, it goes against everything to. Within their, their country to engage the cartels. The cartels are doing illegal stuff. I'm gonna find the video because I saw it this morning. I think I reposted it on my Twitter feed, but I definitely liked it. So it's going to take a second to, for me to pull it up. But when you, when you read the. I mean, because obviously it's in Spanish. When you read what this lady's saying, it's very obvious that she wants no part of it. And all indications are that she's on the payroll of the cartel now. There's several.

[Mike]

Do you think she was told ahead of time or do you think she's surprised like everybody else?

[Jimmy Watson]

I think that she's outside the OPSEC loop.

[Tyler]

I would say so. I'd say if three schmucks are in here saying, you know, it's obvious if you had to pick a side, is she with them or not? I would say just his history has shown and her actions and her behaviors and her reactions have shown that she is most likely on the payroll of the cartel, which means that most likely, she's outside of the offset glue. That's actually really good.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, she's. She's. She's not getting. She's not getting information. And again, I mean, like, if. If we were really going to deal with this in good faith. You got. You said it before. Before I came on. I haven't heard Marco Rudio say a word. That's the chief diplomat of the United States. He does speak Spanish, by the way. I mean, you think that that'd be the guy, go down there and have a conversation with this lady? He's not. He's done. He's having more conversations with Cuba than he's having with her. That tell. I mean, again, it's. It's one of those things where you have to read between the lines. You know, what does that tell you? It means that we're done with this lady.

[Tyler]

Like.

[Jimmy Watson]

Like, dude, we're gonna handle this. Either you handle it or we will. And. Yeah, Yeah, I don't.

[Tyler]

I don't have a. I don't have a problem. If they would just say that, you know, hey, this is for America's best interest, where we. This is gonna happen. So we work with Mexican authorities for the capture of this guy, and now Mexico. Unfuck yourselves.

[Mike]

Why now? Why now? Like, this is like, somebody's in the comments. It's right. It's been going on forever.

[Tyler]

What.

[Mike]

What is. Why now?

[Jimmy Watson]

Well, maybe I think the easiest explanation is the intelligence was good enough to action. That's now. I mean, there doesn't always have to be. Yeah, there doesn't always have to be a. A. A race, you know, like a. Like a casus bella or, you know, a reason to go to war. Sometimes it's just this guy needs to go. We have everything that we need in place. Now's the time. Let's go. I mean, the. The big thing that I've got ready for you guys is like, you want to put your war hats on, you know, Take a look over in the Persian Gulf. Holy. This is a sideshow.

[Tyler]

What's going on? The Persian Gulf, I learned in college that is near Persia, which used to be Iran. You're welcome. Guys. See, Tyler's not Stupid.

[Jimmy Watson]

I ran used to.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Iran, absolutely.

[Mike]

It did you smart this morning.

[Tyler]

I unblocked it.

[Mike]

It unblocked the nerve. That's stupid.

[Jimmy Watson]

Is.

[Mike]

Is open right now.

[Jimmy Watson]

Is the microwave working better today? Is that what it is?

[Mike]

Before we go to Iran, though, like, what I want to say about. Does this not sound strange that with everything going on, do you think this could be in any way to try to help the push of ICE and immigration and say, well, look, these cartels are out of control. We gotta. We gotta close this border more. We got to be more secure. Do you think in any way that's the government trying to get more people on board with immigration and ICE to. To secure the border and say, look at these dangerous people. Now there's a war down there. We really got to shut it off now. Really be careful. Does that cross your mind?

[Jimmy Watson]

That's a. That's a fantastic. A fantastic point is that by allowing the chaos and facilitating in some way the chaos, we. We make a. A cost of spell line. We make a cause for war, you know?

[Mike]

Yeah. Or we just say, look, look, it's really bad. Now we've really got to start really, you know, doing more.

[Jimmy Watson]

That's that right there. That is something that the CIA loves to do. That's something that they like to do. So when you look at this, that there. There's. There's so much going on, man. This world is way more complex than what the legacy media wants to paint it. And when, you know, three schmucks sit down with three varying degrees of backgrounds and can all look at this and go, holy. That is a very complicated situation. But if you turn on Fox News,

[Mike]

the media quiet about it. You would think that if there's a in there's like a civil war right next to us in Mexico, that the legacy media would be more interested in what is going on. But it's kind of like, okay, Mexico's at war. There's planes on fire. Like, okay, cool, we won Golden Olympics. Like, there's like. It's like nobody's really seems too interested in it.

[Jimmy Watson]

Dude, this is. This is. This is. This is why. I mean, it's a wild timeline to be a part of. I mean, like, pick your poison, Mike. What do you want to do? Do you want to go down and fight cartels? Do you want to go to Venezuela and secure a. Or do you want to go over to the Middle east and watch them do regime change in Iran?

[Tyler]

What do you want to do?

[Mike]

Clear it up this week, had it all fixed Out.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, you know, even harder than all of this was trying to figure out, like the, the major cartels. I mean, have you seen some of the, the hardware that the, this cartel that they're going after has, is carrying? That. That's new pictures. They can take over Chicago?

[Mike]

Yeah, there was. Yeah, they need to. There was a picture this morning I saw with multiple armored vehicles, like military armored vehicles from the cartel. And you see the local governments riding around in pickup trucks with a gun in the back.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And the cartels are riding around in like armored vehicles, like legit gunships.

[Jimmy Watson]

Well, also the, the president of Mexico, I don't know if you saw this. This morning she was evacuated to a Mexican navy ship off, that was off the coast by helicopter. They got her.

[Mike]

Great video later of a great video of a missile later.

[Tyler]

We have one.

[Mike]

No, I've heard. Oh yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Oh, I thought it was.

[Mike]

We thought it was a Venezuelan drug boat.

[Tyler]

Well, there's also the El Jager. El Yogurt is sitting there and everyone's like, we know exactly where he is. And he's like, I know you know exactly where I am. It's like, where's that?

[Mike]

Where's that drone strike?

[Tyler]

What are we waiting on?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, so, yeah, I gotta find that video, that Mexican lady. That way I can send it to you guys can talk about it. You don't need me for that one, but I'll find it when I'm so that I'm not distracted on this. But I do have some. I definitely got some information for Iran.

[Tyler]

Let's do it.

[Jimmy Watson]

It's wild. All right, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna read some numbers off to you. All right. All right. Currently right now the US has a one carrier strike group, USS Abraham Lincoln, which is 422 miles south of Iran. It's got the Gerald R. Ford currently coming out of the Med, transitioning through this. The. And I'll bring up the map here so you guys can see it. Let me remove that one. That's the same one. I need to add this one right here. All right, so bring up this second map right here. The second one I brought up, that one right there. So Abraham Lincoln is down to the south. And what's. What you see is the Arabian Sea. Up here in the, the western or eastern med. Is where Gerald R. Ford is getting ready to transit down to the Suez Canal. Once outside the Suez Canal and outside that major shipping lane, they absolutely could start being capable of conducting strikes into Iran, but probably won't until they Round. Round the horn of Africa, get underneath Yemen and start moving in to start operating close to the Abraham Lincoln. The third one, which is George H.W. bush, should be finishing up one of its last wickets before its deployment. Ready, and it's going to be on the way. We have 14 ships, including two aircraft carriers that are either in route or close enough to start conducting strikes at Jordan. And you can bring up the. The second one here just so we kind of get an idea of what we're going on. So here is basically over on the Iran side. The blue and green dots are major installations for strikes. The red and orange ones are places that we have troops and equipment. In Jordan, we have 60 attack aircraft from three different squadrons from of F35s and E18G, Marine Corps jamming aircraft and Al Ud and Qatar. We've got 10, 000 personnel with the major logistics tanker fleet. About 35 to 40 tankers that are there. Uh, and I'll just. Dude, when you start reading this off, it's. It's kind of wild. 3 35th, 356 fighters Expeditionary Fighter Squadron of F15E Strike Eagles. A detachment of F22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing out in Alaska. Two F35 detachments for suppression of enemy air defenses. Al Ud, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing overseas. So this is the 69th Operations Center. That's the. The guys that are going to plan the operation. We've got 64 C17 Globemasters. I'm sure you know what a C17 is, Tyler. I'm sure you put your knees to

[Tyler]

the breeze out of one before E17 mostly. Yeah, yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

So 64 of them over there. Right now you've got 85 tankers making money.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, yeah. 13 for that many C17s.

[Mike]

Just those?

[Tyler]

Yeah, just those.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah. 13th and 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron of B2 Spirits are out at Diego Garcia. An element of the 75th Ranger Regiment is in Kuwait. 1/60th is in Kuwait. 379th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. Pete Pararescue Squadrons and people that are there to handle nuclear material. So that's what's in theater right now. That is a shitload. Now again, if you look at that, you can go. That's a lot of stuff. What do you. It's important what you don't see. I didn't name a whole lot of ground forces. So this is absolutely going to be an air campaign and a sea campaign. We. The. The opening strikes are probably going to go exactly like this. We're going to Start bombing. The Iranians are going to try to shut down the Straits of Hormuz. We're going to kill everything in the air and on the. In the water before they get the opportunity. They will probably put some minds in the water before we can stop them, we will have to get the mines

[Tyler]

out of the water.

[Jimmy Watson]

The Ranger.

[Tyler]

Sorry, what goes into putting mines in the water? I don't.

[Jimmy Watson]

You need it. Basically, like think of a boat that's kind of like a dump truck, right. It's got a big, flat, open backside, and they just put the. They, they weight the. The mines. It. You know, they look like little porcupines. They. Wait.

[Tyler]

The mine. Yeah, I've seen them in movies and stuff. So they go. So the base of it goes to the bottom of the ocean, right, On

[Jimmy Watson]

a chain and then.

[Tyler]

And then it floats up and then what, ignites a mine?

[Jimmy Watson]

It depends. The majority is it's. It's not necessarily pressure detonated. Sometimes it can just be sonar detonated or it could be pressure detonated. Right. So, like what they call confluence, which means that water is coming towards this thing, so it senses that and goes, oh, there must be a ship here, bang, and blows it up. And mines are, I mean, incredibly cheap and incredibly difficult to deal with, as are drones. It's kind of the same thing. You can make a lot of them. They're cheap, they're good for, you know, fighting asymmetrically against the United States military. But that's. That's what's probably going to happen. They're going to put mines in the water. They're going to try to use their drones to swarm us and. And keep us out of the Straits of Hormuz. We're going to kill everybody on the islands trying to stop us. All of those guys are going to die, like, immediately. Unfortunately for them. They just did a big military operation and told us every single place.

[Tyler]

Largest military buildup. Yeah, go ahead.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, they told. They, they basically when they, when they turn on their radars and when they started talking on their radios, they told us exactly where they were. So, like, everybody's up in the, you know, in Qatar going, okay, well, we're gonna bomb here and here and here and here. Those guys are gonna die within the first couple hours. It's really kind of sad, honestly.

[Tyler]

Like, I think about that.

[Jimmy Watson]

It's. It's like the equivalent of aliens coming down.

[Tyler]

Like.

[Jimmy Watson]

Like, you're.

[Tyler]

Dude,

[Jimmy Watson]

Ranger regiment's really interesting because I got two different.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I wanted to put that out there. Nobody speaks for the podcast, including myself. But I don't feel bad.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, I mean, I get it. It's just that, you know, those guys are getting told right now like, you have a shot. You have a chance to fight the Americans and strike a blow for our country. And it's like, no, you have a chance to die within. It's just going to be about how long you survive the shoot. When the shooting starts before you die, my guess is probably two to four hours. That's gonna, that's gonna be it for you. 75th Ranger Regiment right now the, like, the word on the street is that, oh, the regiment is there to, you know, rescue down pilots if they get shot down. But then there's other people that are saying no, they're there to do to, to go on to some of these nuclear sites that we struck and bring back evidence of, you know, hey, this is exactly why we needed to be there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Which is pretty wild. But I mean that Ranger regiment is perfectly capable of doing that. So I mean, I might have missed it.

[Tyler]

Is there any ragers that are staged closer than what you already mentioned? I know you mentioned that the one entire battalion is staged.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah. At Kuwait. During Kuwait. I mean that's a six, that's a 600 mile flight. Round trip or not round trip, one way.

[Tyler]

So we're at the Ranger staged in case they need boots on ground. Like.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, they're not.

[Tyler]

So they're not playing. But there's always something like, like a Blackhawk down, for example, that's hey, we're gonna need boots on ground for this.

[Jimmy Watson]

That's what they were, everybody said that they were there for is to rescue down pilots. Like if, you know we're gonna be right now, the estimated sortie Generation is about 800 sorties a day. For those of you that don't know what that means, that means that we at one plane equals one sortie. Right. We plan to do 800 missions a day. You know, that's, that's Air Force lingo.

[Tyler]

Okay, so for the non air force people here, what's it mean?

[Jimmy Watson]

It means a mission, a specific mission. Yeah, they, they call them sorties. It's French. Goes all the way back to World War I. Yeah. So if you're planning to do 800 missions a day over same over Iran, there's a good chance you're going to lose a pilot. I mean even if they, the, the, the, the Iranians don't get lucky and shoot one down, the chances of, you know, mechanical failure are still there. You fly that many planes, somebody may fall out of the sky. And remember too, that all of those refuelers are there. All of the helicopters are there, you know, 160 at this air. But the thing that really like the long pole in the tent for me is there's no Marines. Like, you'd think that the Marines would be there. Like, the Marines are missing out on this. I don't know what, I don't know

[Mike]

why that during highly. Mexico.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, that's you're, and you're not wrong, actually, they're, they're over, they're still over thinking about South America. They're in Central America. They are not, they're not doing anything with this. I, I, It's a, it's wild. I mean, when you think about this, first of all, just think about how amazing this is. Everybody talks about what capabilities that we don't have. We're fighting on two different sides of the globe, and everybody knows that we can do anything that we want at any time. We stole a president, for Christ's sake.

[Mike]

Like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

[Mike]

Good.

[Jimmy Watson]

I'm, I'm still very deep into this. I'll probably, I'm probably gonna push back doing Ranger Reconnaissance Company, and I gotta, I got a really good source who was in Ranger Reconnaissance Company that I'm talking to. But I'm gonna go ahead and break down what's moving in the Middle east in depth tonight on the Shadow Cast, and it'll drop tomorrow. Assuming, assuming that the fighting doesn't start tomorrow. As a word.

[Tyler]

Mean, you mean just from, from air and C, right?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, yeah, assuming that, you know, don't, I mean, don't get it twisted, man. I mean, like, I don't know if you guys know airplanes. Do you guys know what an F14 Tomcat looks like?

[Mike]

Top Gun.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yes, the Top Gun.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah. So the, the Tomcat, the last people to fly the Tomcat are the Iranians. The Iranians have about 20 of them. The, Nobody else is flying them. And there's the meme going around right now, like, don't bomb the Tomcats. Let them get into the air. And it's that Wesley Snipes pointing a gun at somebody as he's crying meme like he's some F35 pilots getting ready to blow this Tomcat out of this guy.

[Mike]

I mean, that's super old technology. Not mobile, not maneuverable.

[Tyler]

No.

[Mike]

Unless you're Tom Cruise.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, well, that's, that's the point is that it's, it's still the most favorite American airplane ever. Everybody loves The Tomcat. So everybody's just like, man, we're gonna have to blow him out of the sky. This is terrible.

[Mike]

But, yeah, that Iran has our planes at all.

[Tyler]

Right?

[Mike]

How do we get.

[Tyler]

That's a funny story. We just glaze over that part.

[Jimmy Watson]

Oh, do you want to know how that happened? I can tell you how that happened. So this is going to be important because as regime change comes, you're. You're going to start seeing this guy's son. So the Shaw of Iran was shown a couple of different aircraft in the early 70s, right? The new aircraft that were coming online, he was looking at F15, he was looking at F14. And he saw the Tomcat and loved it. He wanted the Tomcat. So he got his 25 tomcats that were all delivered right before the Islamic revolution happened and he was overthrown from power and had to run away from the country. So the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps got a hold of some brand new Tomcats. Of course, when they got a hold of them, the, the guys from Grumman that had been the tech reps had sabotaged all of them. None of the radars worked. So it took them a while to get them, those airplanes back online and working, and they had to replace the, the radars with other stuff. There was a huge, huge spy operation that was trying to salvage parts from the American boneyard out in Arizona. Arizona. Salvage working parts for F14s, pull them out of those airplanes and get them smuggled over to Iran. That had to get put down. I think there's some really good cop work in there. It was very, very interesting stuff. But those are the, those are the last operational Tomcats. That's why they have them wild.

[Tyler]

Okay, Wow. I did not know that makes sense. I just didn't know that.

[Jimmy Watson]

Well, Shah Baron's son, the Shavaron son, is, is the Shah. Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce his name.

[Mike]

Doesn't have a cool nickname.

[Tyler]

Hell yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, just Junior.

[Tyler]

Junior.

[Jimmy Watson]

Unfortunately, there's only one Junior. That's, that's just the way it is. I hate it for you, but, yeah, so we'll, we'll see. I'm gonna kick my camera. We'll see what happens from there. That's pretty much all I got today for you guys, aside from my, you know, sterling company and, you know, witty repartee.

[Tyler]

What is there, uh, nothing else? Uh, open source. I know we, we primarily fixated. We were fixated. We were focusing on Iran for Monday, and then Mexico went off the chain yesterday. So I Haven't even really thought of anything to ask you, but I know you're on top of it, so. It's been a quiet couple weeks in the open source community, so it.

[Jimmy Watson]

It really was. It was.

[Tyler]

Jimmy's gonna have to start talking about his cats here soon if the world doesn't do something.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, well, I mean, luckily.

[Lewis]

Luckily.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, you know, luckily for me. I still have a few things to talk about. You know, obviously one of the things that I haven't. Don't eat the cheeseburger, Tyler. Don't. You're not allowed to eat a cheeseburger.

[Tyler]

Plug it in the sign. I don't know why l keeps it on me. There's two hosts and he's sitting there with me working on.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's. He's coding.

[Tyler]

Produce. Yeah, producer stuff.

[Mike]

My.

[Jimmy Watson]

My dad. My bad.

[Mike]

Lewis.

[Jimmy Watson]

I didn't mean to get you in trouble, dude.

[Lewis]

Yeah, the.

[Jimmy Watson]

There hasn't been a whole lot of information that I can get that. Let me. Let me rephrase that. There's a lot of rumors. I could tell you rumors all day long, but if you want information, I have to try to look at different sources. And I mean, you guys know this. Not all sources are created equal. Like, if you talk to this person, this one is a very credible source. I still need another one. And I. Or I've got like three, like, sources that are saying roughly the same thing or almost exactly the same thing, but I can't trust any one of them. Like, no, this looks like. This looks like horseshit to me.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

So it. Combing through. It is. Honestly, it's. It's. It's more than a full time job. I'm. One of the things that I'm planning to do is get my 16 year old to start helping me. Just because going through this stuff teaches, like critical thinking and problem solving.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, it's. It's great schoolwork.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I can't do that, man. Even since I was a kid, I can't. I hate. I hate staying on top of current events. I hate doing research on things. Research on. Here's the thing. Research on things that are flowing in current sucks. I can research something for a research paper that happened 300 years ago. That's easy. Nothing's changing. Yeah. Did you imagine. I couldn't imagine blowing all the time on researching something and then it evolves into something else and now you're like, well, now I can't cover that because I got to cover this now. I got to do research on this. So the Three hours I just spent researching this part of it doesn't matter anymore.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, see that, that actually feeds my adhd.

[Tyler]

Now I need to know

[Jimmy Watson]

I like as it starts to progress, you know, one of the great things again. I'm gonna plug the Discord again. But I, I, I don't feel bad about that. One of the great things about the Discord is the Discord is another open, is another avenue for me to create a human intelligence network. You know, there's great guys, by the way, I have a request from Jay. Jay says, yo, Jimmy, I got sent the wrong thing on my counterculture order. Any chances I can pay for it and get the correct shirt sent?

[Tyler]

What'd he get? Why is he asking you? Why isn't he just email?

[Jimmy Watson]

I don't know. I don't know, but he. It came in at 10:19 this morning.

[Tyler]

Yeah, tell Jay to email the email or Instagram counterculture. I don't know why he's emailing Jimmy

[Jimmy Watson]

Shadowcast, but no, no, it came in on the Discord. He, he hit me up on the Discord.

[Tyler]

Oh, usually, I'm not gonna lie, I, I'll be the first one to say it. Every business you ever own is always user error. It's always the wrong size came in. What size you order. Well, it says small, but I meant large. Like, okay, gotcha.

[Mike]

My favorite one is the address. The address?

[Tyler]

Yeah. Oh, that.

[Mike]

They'll be like, oh, if you can't put in your own address and it'll be like, it'll be like a week later. Oh, by the way, the address I gave you is my old one. Can you fix it real quick? Yeah, I can. It's already gone. Like, let me fix it real quick.

[Tyler]

And then, of course, guess who eats all the costs for shipping? It's us. Yeah, you know, but we want to make sure somebody gets it.

[Jimmy Watson]

But Jay. Jay's awesome. Jay's Jason og.

[Tyler]

Oh, I believe you.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, so. But I wanted to make sure I put that out there. It's. It's always great. I did, of course, didn't mean to make anybody upset. Maybe I should have just sent that offline.

[Mike]

I apologize.

[Tyler]

Jay's in the chat. Let me.

[Lewis]

Hold on.

[Tyler]

Jay's in the chat. Says Tyler never replies. I'm literally in real time replying to you. That's how, that's how often I reply. So we'll, we'll, we'll fix it. Jay, just. You need to, you need to attempt. Now, if I, if I go her, if I go into the Instagram and There's an unread message from Jay. I will absolutely 100 eat my words. But I'm looking, dude.

[Mike]

I'm looking.

[Tyler]

I see nothing on Instagram.

[Mike]

Oh, boy.

[Tyler]

Nothing on Instagram. I could go to the email.

[Mike]

You could check the email.

[Tyler]

I can go there. But I ain't got nothing in email either.

[Mike]

Supposed to know these things, man. Supposed to.

[Jimmy Watson]

Dude, honestly, this. Tyler, this is a real. Dude, this is a real.

[Tyler]

But, yeah, we'll take care of you, Jay. There ain't. I ain't gonna have you send nothing back, dude. You get two shirts. If we did it wrong, here's the thing. Here's the type of companies we are. If you got it wrong and we got it right, and you're like, man, I'm unhappy with my order. Guess what we're gonna do?

[Mike]

Send it again.

[Tyler]

We're gonna send you another shirt because we want you to be happy.

[Mike]

I don't put a sticker in there that makes you think twice about it. I would. I was throw a random sticker in there to kind of go with the order, make it funny.

[Tyler]

But, I mean, if I order from Nike and they get it wrong, I'm not. I'm not gonna DM the owner of Nike. I'm gonna reply to Nike, and that's just, you know. So my personal account. I'm not really looking for business stuff. I'm not even a blue check mark. There's no blue check mark. My personal is just for roasting fat kids on the Internet. And that's it. Dude. It's not meant for business. So if there's a business inquiry, you just got to go to the right channels, and I'll be on it like that. So we'll take care of you.

[Jimmy Watson]

Okay, man? My. I have a. A Navy SEAL friend of mine that just texted me, so. That's great.

[Tyler]

Jimmy's over here flexing.

[Mike]

Is he in Mexico?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, it's. It's. It's.

[Tyler]

It's my awesome, buff Navy SEAL friend texting me. No Biggie Guy. Guys.

[Mike]

You guys are.

[Jimmy Watson]

Well, you guys said he was asleep.

[Tyler]

You weren't wrong. What you say?

[Jimmy Watson]

I said, you guys said he was asleep. You weren't wrong. He just woke up.

[Tyler]

Yo, brother, man. What's up, big dog? What's up, Tyler, brother?

[Jimmy Watson]

Hey.

[Tyler]

I get audio messages from him, though, because he doesn't like to leave things in text. He's smart.

[Mike]

You can hit that transcript button. There's an audio message.

[Tyler]

Big dog. What's up, big dog? Yo. Yo, I can't even do it hurts my throat. I'm gonna make him and Dan Crenshaw into a reel together, and then I'm gonna send them both collabs. We'll see who accepts it.

[Jimmy Watson]

Did you wake up and choose chaos and anarchy this morning?

[Tyler]

I'm having a morning, dude. I got. I kicked off my morning with the dentist, came to work. Work was great. Mike gave me my hat that was only two weeks old. Not a big deal. And then I got all the talent in the company, like, ah, this, that. And I haven't even told you the other half of it because we haven't gone on commercial break. So I'm trying to produce a show and be on the show. No biggie.

[Lewis]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Sometimes you're right. Sometimes people do catch some flack for, you know, frustration in my day. But it's not only. It's not even noon yet, so I'm

[Mike]

not even that pissed off that the minor. I want to prove Tyler Long real quick. Let me find this damn order. Okay, well, based on February 14th.

[Tyler]

Okay, can I.

[Mike]

It came in three days ago. I just haven't been here. Sorry.

[Tyler]

Let's see.

[Mike]

I didn't drive it over.

[Tyler]

February 14th. It came in three days on the

[Mike]

20 production on February 14th, and it got here on. It arrived at my house on 19th four days ago.

[Tyler]

We're changing that timeline now. 19. You. I didn't. I didn't interrogate you, Mike. You were volunteering information, then you realized it sounded bad, and then, you know, it didn't sound. Actually, it was the 19th.

[Mike]

I put it into on the Saturday and arrived in my house on Thursday, but I wasn't home. I was here. So then I drove it over the next available day, which is today.

[Tyler]

I remember you telling me, it'll be in. And then you came and it wasn't in. And you're like, it's not in yet. Anyway, it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal, man.

[Jimmy Watson]

It's good.

[Tyler]

Sometimes I'm. I'm an unhappy customer, but you fixed it, so.

[Mike]

Oh, man, I'm gonna have that happy customer too, about a lot of things.

[Tyler]

We got the Mar A Lago shooting.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was interesting, right?

[Tyler]

Do we know anything on him? There's stuff coming out now that might. He might be trans.

[Mike]

I didn't see that. I know. He's whole family are Trump supporters, and he's like the outcast.

[Jimmy Watson]

This is army.

[Tyler]

I saw that.

[Mike]

Brothers in the army. That his brother. No, I'm gonna say brother's gay.

[Tyler]

This is not.

[Mike]

Came on the property with a shotgun and gas. Bad ide. He's not. He's El Gano. That's his new name. I would ask Lewis how to say that in Spanish, but I know more Spanish than Lewis, so. Right, Lewis, right. You skip the Spanish thing, dude.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, I, I want to know what the plan was like, what was the plan like? Okay, so you brought gas, we brought a shotgun.

[Tyler]

We.

[Jimmy Watson]

How. What was the gas family.

[Mike]

He didn't even like guns. His family said he was like not a gun kid, didn't like guns. And I, I don't know what the plan was. Obviously he's. His brains are scattered all over Mar a Lago, so that didn't work out.

[Tyler]

Whatever the plan was, dude, imagine how much they, you know. Okay, because here's the thing, man, you know, those guys don't get much action. No. Most of their job is 99.9 infinity is staring at, waiting for that moment. So when that moment comes and everyone's like, this is my moment. And it's also that guy's moment, that guy's moment, that guy's moment, the sniper's moment, the guy in the windows moment.

[Mike]

It's everybody's moment.

[Jimmy Watson]

That dude was. He got hit 47 times in the span of about two seconds.

[Mike]

At least they saw him, you know, the last guy was pursed on a roof. They saw minutes before and didn't take a shot. At least they shot this guy. Yeah, last time they, well, they took, you know, they took a little longer last time.

[Jimmy Watson]

So the snipers over at the. The last attempt, like the one in Pennsylvania. That was the local PD dude, you sure?

[Mike]

Yeah, I thought that was, was it. I thought those guys.

[Tyler]

I think it was pd, but they were.

[Jimmy Watson]

Because that was. The contrivancy was that he didn't have a full detail of Secret service when

[Mike]

he should have the lady wait.

[Tyler]

Oh, now I'm mixing it up. What about the golf course one?

[Mike]

That was, that's. That was the one where the guy, they captured that guy that was like. That was, that was a Mar Lago as well. He was in like the perimeter. He didn't. As far. He didn't make it far enough to get shot. He was like on the perimeter. They saw him, he took off and they pulled him. Actually, the guy who pulled him over lives right where I live.

[Tyler]

Dude. Could you imagine being Trump? Not only you got the deep state wanting you dead, but you also got every crazy person in the world wanting

[Mike]

you dead and every Democrat.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, dude, that, that, that, you know, that like that detail it's like, you want to talk about getting your moment, Mar a Lago. That's the detail I want. I'm gonna live in Florida. It's gonna be great. Beauty. And I'm probably gonna get a chance to get after it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's a good point. Put me in, Mar a Lago. Dude.

[Jimmy Watson]

There's got to be sheriff's deputies or local PD that are running.

[Tyler]

Well, that's what I was thinking. There's probably outsourced, like detail gigs for local law enforcement. You don't think so?

[Mike]

Maybe on the way outside.

[Tyler]

Way, way outside.

[Mike]

Yeah, transport. That's about it.

[Tyler]

I mean, anything that the feds aren't going to want to do, they're going to push to local law enforcement. You don't think that's. That there's actual like checkpoints or anything that are all.

[Lewis]

I don't know.

[Mike]

That's probably counting.

[Tyler]

I'm.

[Khalid]

I don't know.

[Mike]

They're not. They're a very democrat agency. Yeah, I'd be interested. They have like a billion dollar budget.

[Jimmy Watson]

I, I would. I. Dude. Okay, let's do some open source intelligence on that. Like, let's figure out like, who.

[Tyler]

Who what?

[Mike]

Jimmy, just fly a drone over.

[Jimmy Watson]

No,

[Mike]

I want a detailed ops plan on Shadowcast of how to, how to enter Marlock without getting killed.

[Tyler]

Yeah, and then just make sure you Google it over and over and over again.

[Jimmy Watson]

You. Dude, like, all I said was like,

[Tyler]

all of them bad friends.

[Jimmy Watson]

You guys are bad friends. And then when I die, it'll be on your conscience. You're gonna have to go answer to the man at the pearly gates when you get your friend Jimmy, who does nothing but love you guys, murdered by

[Mike]

the D.C. yeah, I don't do that

[Tyler]

vacation where he takes off in the van. He's like, I just want him standing right here. Jimmy's gonna go do it. They said they wanted drone footage. They're getting their drone footage.

[Jimmy Watson]

There's no way I'm doing that laser

[Tyler]

on that Secret Service agent.

[Jimmy Watson]

Dude, I. You know what would really suck is that, like, if, if you could go down there, if you were a tourist and you were out there taking pictures, that's enough for one of those guys to come up and make contact with you. You right there.

[Mike]

Yes, yeah, there. That whole auditing thing would not apply around Mar Lago. Yeah, it would not. Especially now. Especially now.

[Tyler]

That was a bad.

[Jimmy Watson]

You can't even take pictures of that place.

[Tyler]

Well, I mean, how old was he?

[Mike]

21.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's a idiot. Dude, remember that Guy that set himself on fire in front of the White House or some like that. That soldier.

[Mike]

Yeah. Seen a few people do that. Never looks. Never looks good. No, it's a bad look.

[Tyler]

I don't know what, what his plan was for that.

[Mike]

I wonder how many seconds into that you were like, man, this was. This sucked.

[Tyler]

Probably about one.

[Mike]

I mean, there's one in New York City too, that was pretty famous. The dude drenched himself. Like, that's stupid, dude.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, I don't know. Do. Do we. Do we increase the security bubble around Mar A Lago? You'd think that if you were going to go to Mar A Lago to do something, the first question you might want to ask is, is he there?

[Tyler]

President wasn't there. Yeah. Actually, that's not even open source. If you just Google, you know, the President's not even close to Mar A Lago. Yeah, but that's how I'm saying he's mentally ill. I think, I think, I think I'm gonna have to go with the accusations about him being trans. I'm gonna have to go with Mike on the whole. That's what we want now. We. The. The right wants him to be trans so bad to make an argument.

[Mike]

But yeah, you don't want to hear like a military family. A member of a military family, like, attempted to kill the President. You don't want to hear that. I think he's trans. Yeah, trans. He had a transmission. At least he had a transmission.

[Jimmy Watson]

He's trans.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's what they want.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, have you guys been tracking the Selena Gomez Justin Bieber Illuminati conspiracy theory?

[Mike]

Kind of loose. Yeah, I've kind of heard things loosely about it.

[Tyler]

What?

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Jimmy Watson]

Dude, it's. It's a deep, dark rabbit hole, man. It's a deep, dark

[Tyler]

Disney star.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, so. Yeah, well, so was Justin Bieber, and they're all.

[Mike]

They're all criminal science.

[Jimmy Watson]

So apparently this is what. This is the. The gist of the.

[Lewis]

The thing.

[Jimmy Watson]

All right. And I'm going to leave you with this because I know we almost got commercials. Selena Gomez was pregnant with Justin Bieber's love child. She was going to have to force to give up the child when it was born to be sacrificed on Epstein Island. And so she decided, no, she would rather die instead. So they created a clone of her. And that is the person that is Selena Gomez now.

[Mike]

And.

[Jimmy Watson]

And the baby was. Is being raised by Gina Davis.

[Mike]

Sounds crazy, right?

[Tyler]

That sounds. I mean, it's fun.

[Mike]

The crazier it sounds, the less the less likely you're to believe it that it's all going on.

[Jimmy Watson]

It sounds crazy, but like there's. I bet you there's some truth in there somewhere. Oh, man, we just got to dig through it.

[Mike]

So let's start a war in Mexico. Let's go to bomb Iran. Let's get their attention off of everything thing.

[Tyler]

All right, so go ahead, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Watson]

No, that. Mike's right. I mean, that is. That's absolutely like.

[Tyler]

I mean, that's a hell of a distraction, dude. I mean, aliens didn't work. No, we've tried to go back, light Mexico on fire, try to go back to the moon.

[Mike]

That's been.

[Tyler]

You guys have been saying that for weeks.

[Mike]

Well, I guess that got pushed back to march now, right?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, it's. So the, the problem has been. And, and, and listen, this is like 2026.

[Mike]

Technology is kind of tough to get up there, so.

[Jimmy Watson]

No, Mike. Okay, so to get up to space, what do you do? One of the reasons why we like to launch things from Florida is because it's warm. I don't know if you guys noticed or not. It's been unseasonable.

[Mike]

Yeah, they keep saying that the temperature. Is it up?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah. To be. To be fair, the temperature is what killed the Challenger crew. They. Because it had been cold soaked for so long.

[Tyler]

Wasn't it you that brought up the whole. Who was it?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, no, no, I was.

[Mike]

That they're not there. That they really didn't die.

[Jimmy Watson]

That they didn't die. Right. Like that's an interesting conspiracy theory.

[Mike]

Look, I'm.

[Jimmy Watson]

I'm an honest bro.

[Mike]

There's a lady. There was a.

[Jimmy Watson]

There was a professor.

[Mike]

There was another guy they found that looked identical, and they found all of

[Tyler]

them with the same name. Damn near.

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, I. I am an honest broker when it comes to my conspiracy theories. Theories. I may have my biases, but if it's an interesting conspiracy theory, I'm going to bring it to you regardless, especially if it has to do with space, you know, because it's going to be a good topic. Regard. You know what?

[Tyler]

Jimmy Watson send you?

[Jimmy Watson]

Oh, I just. I just texted him and said, hey, man, like, you're not wrong about this. You know, if he. And what. Let me re. Let me read it. I said, did we inspire. What's that?

[Tyler]

Did we inspire you to text him?

[Jimmy Watson]

You did? Because I. I was like, you know, I saw him do that and I meant to do it and I just said, hey, I just wanted to credit.

[Tyler]

That's all right.

[Jimmy Watson]

You do. You've got the credit. I said, well said,

[Tyler]

big dog. Yeah.

[Jimmy Watson]

He just. I was like, dude, Dan Crenshaw, I know what I'm talking about you. And I agree with you, Dan Krish Hawking, you know he's wrong.

[Tyler]

No, and like I said, if you're gonna say. But my thing for Dan is if you're gonna say he's wrong for not asking these questions, like I. No one's ever once put out anything stating that. I mean, unless you've seen it. Jimmy, I've never seen anything where Mexico is refusing to in. In at all take u. S. Assistance. It could be true, but I've just never seen any of that.

[Jimmy Watson]

Mexico is. Is not. No, yeah, Mexico's not. I mean, here's what Dan did, okay? This is what he did. He paid it himself. As somebody who has the legitimacy to know, he should know, right? Sitting congressman.

[Tyler]

He.

[Jimmy Watson]

He's down there in Texas. He's got access to a lot of classified information that's going on around the world. And he said a whole bunch of nothing. It was like listening to Derek Jeter talk. Like, at the end of the day,

[Tyler]

Are you talking about his story or did he actually post something himself about it? Both.

[Jimmy Watson]

Like, he. He didn't post. Like, he's not. He's. He's basically saying, I would know and this guy wouldn't. And it's like, okay, and. And when again did you get captured by the CIA? Did they put the bracelet on you? Like, like there's no. If you're gonna tell me I have to believe you because of your moral superiority, then give me a reason. All right? Don't just go. This guy's a meathead and doesn't know you, dude. You know,

[Tyler]

we're gonna take quick commercial break. Yeah, everybody loves Jimmy, dude. Jimmy's a man. Quick commercial break, guys, and we will be right back. Over a century ago, in 1910, the Flexner Report, funded by John d. Rockefeller and the Carnegie foundation, re engineered medical education from a holistic whole body approach, which appropriately treated the body as an interconnected system, to a compartmentalized approach under the guise of specialized medicine. They shut down or consolidated medical schools marginalized naturopathic, homeopathic and chiropractic medicine, replacing them with symptom management and synthetic drugs. Allopathy is a marketing strategy rooted in fear and manipulated science. This philosophy carries carried into veterinary medicine, resulting in over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries and manufactured food, just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based on profitability. The truth. Toxicity, compromised immunity, and chronic inflammation. They're not fate. They're engineered. And so is your power to undo them. We built three targeted formulas to return the body to homeostasis for pets and people to detox, defend, and restore. We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are vengeance.

[Mike]

Hello. Welcome back. Tyler's heating up his coffee as normal because it's freezing in here. We're gonna get to a couple sponsors and then canine will be on here shortly to do sports and cover all that cool stuff over the weekend. But let's pay the bills real quick.

[Tyler]

American Financing. Let's be honest, math just isn't adding up lately. Between the grocery store and those skyrocketing insurance premiums, even with a steady job, more families are being forced to rely on high interest credit cards. I know that for a fact. In fact, we just used our credit card the other day for something other than paying bills. And it was a weird feeling. But that's what credit cards are supposed to be for. You're not supposed to live off them. If you're a homeowner caught in that cycle carrying balances with interest rates in the 20s or even 30s is 10. Time to get some relief. Right now, mortgage rates are at a three year low. And my friends at American Financing are helping homeowners pay off that high interest debt at rates in the low fives. Their salary based mortgage consultants don't just push loans. They build exit strategies from debt. On average, they're saving their customers 800amonth. That's insane, guys. Plus, if you start today, you may even delay the next two mortgage payments. There are no upfront fees or obligations. To find out how much more you can save, America's home for home loans is American Finance. And call 866-890-8585 for more details or go to american financing.net Anti Hero to learn more.

[Mike]

Bro. What. All that stuff that's going on in the world and during a, during a, I don't know, the BAFTA film awards, a guy in the audience with Tourette's yelled the N word. And now like all the celebrities are, are timing in like, like Jamie, I just see Jamie Foxx is calling BS that John Davidson's Tourette syndrome. Nah, he meant to say that like all the problems in the world shouts out, yeah, yeah, you know, and now you got. That's what's the hot news on World Star in the, in the celebrity world, he's a guy with Tourette's. I think it's hilarious. I think it's Hilarious.

[Tyler]

Do we have that clip?

[Mike]

Yeah. I don't know if we want to play it, but we have it.

[Tyler]

Hey, if it's on the tv, they're gonna blank it out.

[Mike]

Here we go. I'll send it to Anti Hero.

[Khalid]

It's just.

[Tyler]

Can't make that up, dude.

[Mike]

It doesn't. It's beyond not making me want to make it up. It's.

[Tyler]

It's just like you said, it's funny. Priorities. It's just.

[Mike]

Come on, man.

[Tyler]

[Khalid]

[Tyler]

Wait, just. Tourette syndrome activist shouts N word at Michael B. Jordan. Del and I are delighted to be

[Mike]

presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of moving be making. How did they know Tourette's.

[Tyler]

How did they know he had Tourette? And he's not just a racist.

[Mike]

Who. Guess who yelled? It is a guy named John Davidson, and he is a white male.

[Tyler]

Did they allow him to stay

[Mike]

out. Of all the words you could. This. What Jamie Fox said, of all the words you could have said, Tourette's makes you say that? Nah, man. N. He meant to say that unacceptable. So now he knows that.

[Tyler]

But people with Tourette's say the worst words in the world.

[Mike]

Correct?

[Tyler]

Correct. I mean, I'm not. I don't have. Oh, remember that south park where Eric wanted to get away with saying.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

I mean, remember Tourette's guy growing up? The. One of the first YouTubes ever, Tourette's.

[Mike]

And then there's like all these. Yeah, there's all these, you know, YouTube Instagram channels that they say the wildest. So that's what. That's. That's the celebrities are worried about.

[Tyler]

All right, we're waiting on canine so we can start getting into. I'm reading some post, some producer stuff, people helping me out. What else we got?

[Mike]

Big dog. All right. You're good, Lois. All right. All right.

[Tyler]

So let's. Let's kick it off. If K9 wants to join us at any time, you can want to go

[Mike]

into hockey or the Sean Strickland man. Sean Strickland, Yes. I love this guy. He definitely would shout Tourette's.

[Tyler]

He doesn't need sh.

[Mike]

No, he doesn't have Tourette's.

[Tyler]

Let's kick it off. I've got some video of him, but if you want to talk while I pull it up.

[Mike]

I mean, obviously Strickland fought this weekend during the press conference. He is unhinged. He says the most wild things. He was an underdog in the fight and he actually knocked out Hernandez in the second round, which was pretty. It was unexpected. Yeah. I mean, Strickland has one of the most unorthodox. The video playing. He has an unorthodox way of fighting. He does this weird little front kick that he constantly uses in his jab. He's also a really good grappler. That is. It's not. He's an underrated Grappler when it comes to just jiu jitsu. And he won. And it was like I said, it was in Texas. He made all the statements. Your Mexican fighters going down. He plays it up and honestly, we'll watch. He's, he's a very humble guy when it comes down to it. He says the. Does say some crazy though, if you want to get into some of the stuff he said. And Dana White's reaction to it is, you know, you guys keep asking these questions. Yeah,

[Tyler]

we also have a, a post fight interview that yes, he does have a, a bad rap, but he also is a, he is a. Is he heavyweight?

[Mike]

No, he's middleweight, middle 185. They fight at 185. So you gotta remember here is obviously Conor McGregor was the guy when it came to the mic, he put UFC to the next level. You got to have some controversy. He says Sean Strickland is not shy about saying anything. He knows he's in Texas, huge Hispanic culture. He said all the crazy during the lead up to it.

[Tyler]

People loved it.

[Mike]

Yeah, and he ate it up. Your Mexican fighters going down, you know, go ice is the best. He's putting his ice hat on his, you know, on. He's doing AI pictures of himself in ice hats. But this is post fight, what he actually had to say about Hernandez once the fight was over.

[Jimmy Watson]

Definition of a savage.

[Mike]

I know it. The weigh in we had some words,

[Jimmy Watson]

but godamn dude, after that fight, dude,

[Mike]

I feel like I'm part Mexican. That was aing war, bro. And I cannot thank you enough. Fluffy is the definition of a man.

[Jimmy Watson]

To be honest, Fluffy's the man I want to be. He's married, he's a father, he's a hard worker.

[Mike]

Puppy's a bigger man than I could

[Jimmy Watson]

ever hope to be, but man, I

[Mike]

respect the hell out of you.

[Jimmy Watson]

Very well said.

[Tyler]

Sean.

[Mike]

Sean Strickland, ladies and gentlemen, man is

[Jimmy Watson]

the definition of a.

[Tyler]

That just goes to say. It goes to show that he's, it's sport first, entertainment second. If he was just, just straight talk and entertainment. He respects the, the dojo, if you will. He respects the rules of the game. You know, all the talk leading up to it. Unless you absolutely despise the other person, there's always the, the respect, even if it's a couple seconds at the end of the fight. So for him to do that shows that he's still in tune with the rules of the game. Not the rules of the USC fight, but the rules of the game.

[Mike]

Yes, there's, I mean he Went off on some wild spins. One of the cornermen for Hernandez, he caught him. A pedophile went in on him because I guess he met his now wife when she was 14. Oh, wow. And like he talked about that's what Paramount gets into at the end of the fight, the post fight conference. He talks about seeing that guy out there with a pedophile. He, he's a wild dude, but he respects obviously the fighter. I don't know how Chamayev of him and Chamaya fight. This is part of what we'll play. I think post fight is what he says about cosmic Chamayev and goats and everything wild. But he is a unique individual. And Dana White has a hell of a time with the promo. You know, on pay per view it doesn't really matter. Your pay per view people are paying to watch your promotion. He said it before, like they can say whatever the they want. Like they have the first Amendment. They can say whatever you want. You're gonna see a different tune from Dana White when you play that clip.

[Tyler]

It's sellout, dude.

[Mike]

Because now you have Paramount plus which is massive and it changes the game a little bit. About what I think they're happy with

[Tyler]

him saying Paramount's not going to play that game, dude. I, I don't know if there's a clause in the contract or, or what, but you're gonna see a hell, if

[Mike]

this is the whole thing. You're gonna see a hell of a neat.

[Tyler]

It's a little choppy.

[Mike]

Yeah. He hits him with a knee in the gut. Right. I think it's coming up. That just is nasty. That starts the beginning of the end.

[Tyler]

Boom, boom.

[Mike]

But you see Strickland's style is very hard to. It's hard to hit.

[Tyler]

Is Strickland just right now the better fighter? I don't, I don't study usc so I mean, or leading up to it was either.

[Mike]

No. Hernandez won eight fights in a row. Dude was on non stop stricken. I lost on.

[Tyler]

Bring it, bring it. Okay. Nine. Yeah. What up, man?

[Mike]

I think you're Gonna.

[Lewis]

What's up OGs.

[Mike]

He's just, he was a better fighter for sure this night. And just non stop look at him non stop. You can see that. You can kind of see Hernandez is defeated. He's just, I mean he's not killing him, but he just can't get anything off. I mean over and over, punch after punch after punch is just landing the jab is nasty. And I, like I said, he's beginning and comes with a knee in the freaking gut that just starts to downside for Hernandez.

[Tyler]

You watch this fight, canine?

[Lewis]

Yes, sir, I did. Strickland dominated the whole fight, man. And he said before the fight he's more of a Mexican fighter than Hernandez. And I think he proved it. He's a brawler.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're both strikers.

[Jimmy Watson]

It just.

[Mike]

Strickland look unbelievable.

[Lewis]

Well, actually Hernandez likes to wrestle a lot, but he just couldn't get anything going on Strickland. Strickland has really good defense and he made it, you know, a stand up fight. And Hernandez obviously wasn't as strong as Strickland.

[Mike]

There was a nice bike right there that. Just go back if you can go back. It's nasty.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

This is the third round, right? This is where he drops them, ends it.

[Mike]

It's because it looks like Strickland falls. Like you think that he got hit. It's happened so fast, but right here he's gonna hit him with a knee in the gut. Boom, boom, boom. Whack right there. Yeah, it looks like Strickland gets hit and he falls, but that, that knee in the gut just ended it. And then from here on out.

[Tyler]

So, I mean, I've been, I'm assuming that is not. That didn't take the air out of him that made him feel like a baseball bat. Just like that's when, you know, when your stomach just goes.

[Mike]

He's done. Yeah, air came right out of him and it hurts. But I mean, this is it now. You're just. He grabs the back of his head here and throws a couple uppercuts and

[Lewis]

that's, that's starts teeing off on him.

[Mike]

There was a really ugly no stop on this card. I wonder if I could find that one. Did you, you saw, did you saw that one right where the knockout. That was about five punches too many.

[Lewis]

I didn't know. I, I honestly.

[Mike]

There was a bad, bad. No, no, stop.

[Lewis]

Oh, the fight before this. You talking about when that European God knocked out that black dude bad? Yes, he's seen off on him. Okay. Yeah, I know which one you're talking about. I don't remember their names. That's when I actually tuned into the pay per view.

[Mike]

But go to the, Go to Dana, go to. Go ahead and remove that. I think the DMS have the, the statements where it gets. This guy just gets to deal with this guy.

[Jimmy Watson]

Dude.

[Lewis]

Strickland's a trip, man. I love him. I love it.

[Mike]

Bad.

[Lewis]

He called Bad Bunny the F word, didn't he?

[Mike]

Yeah, he's out of control, dude from Cobbill. Yeah, should be in there. Look for.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Which ones I got.

[Mike]

You got Dana White talk. Yeah. Go to the Dana White talking first. So this is. This before it plays. This is Dana White's response to a reporter that says, how do you. You have trouble promoting Strickland? A lot of people expected Strickland to look as good as he did tonight. I know the answer to this.

[Jimmy Watson]

But right when you look at Strickland and what comes next to him, you know, he's calling for a Hamza fight,

[Mike]

stuff like that, there's no, like, what

[Jimmy Watson]

he says during media day and things like that that doesn't affect your booking of him.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Jimmy Watson]

You are still happy to put him in those.

[Mike]

It's a nightmare.

[Tyler]

It's.

[Mike]

I mean, but you guys don't help asking them dumb, you know, ask dumb,

[Jimmy Watson]

you're gonna get dumb.

[Mike]

What'd you think of Bad Bunny? How would you think of the Super Bowl? The out of here. You kidding me? Yeah. So when you talk about what Strickland says, you guys like to push the buttons. I don't think a lot of people

[Tyler]

expect that Dana White is kind of putting the pressure on Paramount to kind of say, like, you know, if. If you're gonna blame my fighters and me for what we say, then you need to also screen the interview people and the reporters, because these guys are. I mean, I'm not to sound cliche. These guys are warriors. They're savages. They fight in a steel cage. Let's go back to that barbarianism that. Oh, we don't talk about that because it's a sport. It is a sport. It's a legit sport, and I love it. But at the end of the day, these guys are beating each other in a steel cage, and then you want to go interview them. It's kind of like the old Romans thing or like the Roman army when they weren't allowed in the city because they were just such savages that they weren't even allowed to be in the city that they were part of. Because how are you going to ask somebody that beats the. Out of another dude in a steel cage to be PC or, you know, something like that? What's your thoughts on that?

[Mike]

I'm gonna send you the clip on Strickland. So we have it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You ask these guys to beat the brakes off each other. And here's what's interesting. Strickland also, I believe he's hurled the. The N word maybe here or there. Yeah. He says pretty, but then he has black people in his part of his Crew is black. And then he has huge respect from the Hispanic dude. He's talking all that. So I think in these type of sports, it kind that kind of goes out the window. These guys are, like you said, they're battling, they're beating the out of each other in a cage. I think they take the outside world. Kind of doesn't apply the same to these dudes. I mean, Strickland sparred with freaking Pereira sparred with the guy, you know, one of the baddest men on the planet. He's a tough dude and he says these things and then you look and he's got. Like I said, he's got. In his corner is a black dude. So it's like, I just sent it from Michael Dilks. Go to that clip if you want to go to my. From my dms. This is Strickland when he's asked about the Super Bowl. And like, Dana White says you can ask his guys dumb questions.

[Tyler]

The second one you sent.

[Mike]

Yeah. Then first. No, the newest one from. Oh, okay, right there. But Michael Delts from the. For my personal program.

[Tyler]

Okay. Making it hard on me, dude.

[Mike]

I was logged in the wrong account. This is Strickland on the Super Bowl.

[Tyler]

The NFL, dude, you had that.

[Mike]

I don't even want to say that

[Jimmy Watson]

name because, like, it's just like, somebody

[Khalid]

give me his name.

[Jimmy Watson]

You come say his name. I don't want to say, you know,

[Mike]

I'm talking for the halftime.

[Tyler]

Go. Bad bunny, bro.

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, that like, dude, it is so crazy that this is America now.

[Tyler]

Now, like, back in the day, dude, the NFL was like.

[Jimmy Watson]

The NFL was the standard of being a man. And now every year, the NFL, I think they all get together around a table and say, you know, guys, how do we ruin this sport?

[Tyler]

How do we gay it up? Well, I'll tell you what.

[Jimmy Watson]

Why don't we bring a gay foreigner who doesn't speak English and have a performance?

[Tyler]

The NFL is, like, pathetic these days.

[Jimmy Watson]

So even, like the NFL players, probably, we hate it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I know. NFL's. Yeah, I think we'd all agree, like,

[Jimmy Watson]

I mean, look at the NFL. I didn't want to say the name because it's just like, somebody could be Paramount.

[Mike]

Plus, you paid $8 billion or whatever it is to have the rights to UFC. And like, the second card is this dude up there just saying what none of your people want to hear. I mean, they have south park on there, too. That's the other catch, though.

[Jimmy Watson]

They have South Park.

[Mike]

South park gets a pass.

[Tyler]

But I guess at the N Word. Yeah.

[Mike]

Like in the Wheel of Fortune episode, Randy says it on the screen, but

[Tyler]

so you people who annoy you.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. People who are annoying. Oh, you know, you know what you're going to get from Strickland. But here's the conundrum for Dana White. Originally it was, I don't give a what these guys to say. It's a first amendment. He can say whatever he wants. Now it's like, yeah, it's a PR nightmare to book this guy. He's now number one contender for a title shot and his opponent is going to be from the Middle East. So let's go into what. Go back to Copville and see what Strickland had to say about Chamayev.

[Tyler]

This producer role sucks. We're gonna have to train Lewis.

[Mike]

He was already there.

[Tyler]

No, Lewis can't do it this fast. All right, let's go back to here. Let's go back to there.

[Jimmy Watson]

Let's go back.

[Mike]

You just sit there. Don't move.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Mike]

He was asked about fighting Chamayev as the number one contender who is from the Middle East. Here's his response. This is a cell phone. Picking it up.

[Jimmy Watson]

Anyways, wait, no. And I got one for Smoke.

[Tyler]

It ain't a rap, dog.

[Mike]

Relax.

[Jimmy Watson]

Ufc. What's up, Small?

[Tyler]

I gotta ask you this.

[Jimmy Watson]

You stop the guy with the eight fight win streak. Do you feel like Sean Strickland did enough to get the next title shot

[Mike]

in the middleweight division?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yes, I did.

[Tyler]

I don't think this team works all.

[Jimmy Watson]

Sam. Yes. Listen, you don't want to see any of these fight that little Chechen war.

[Tyler]

You want to see the last American

[Jimmy Watson]

in the sport going that guy up,

[Mike]

and that's what's gonna happen.

[Tyler]

Anything I want, dude.

[Jimmy Watson]

Anything I want, dude.

[Tyler]

I'll bring a go.

[Jimmy Watson]

He'll get distracted.

[Tyler]

Anything I want.

[Mike]

So Paramount cut his mic when he got asked about Chamayev, and he ended it with I'll bring a goat. So already you're seeing the difference in ufc, pay per View, all no holds bar. Say whatever you want. Now, mainstream streaming service, everybody watches this. They're cutting his mic. They don't want to hear what, you know, want him to say. That stuff so interesting, right, Lewis? Yes. Yeah, interesting.

[Lewis]

Yeah. Sean Strickland is one of a kind. Like, back to Tyler's question. Like, these guys are gladiators and a lot of them do say crazy things, but I don't think anybody's on the level of Sean Strickland when it comes to saying outrageous things.

[Tyler]

Who do you think was More outrageous. Connor or Sean?

[Lewis]

I would say probably Sean, because obviously, yes, he brings, he brings a lot of the race into it. A lot of the homo type stuff.

[Tyler]

Whoa, bro, it's homophobic. Not homo.

[Lewis]

Homophobic stuff, you know, whatever.

[Mike]

And where's the Marine guy at? I'll tell you. Say whatever the. I definitely have the First Amendment. 23 years, 26 years of service to this place.

[Khalid]

I can say whatever I want.

[Tyler]

The hell you want.

[Mike]

But yes, he's definitely worse than McGregor when it comes. Not worse, he's different.

[Tyler]

No, I think as I asked canine that question, I was like, oh, I forgot that he brings in race, the everything. And, and, and he, and he weaponizes it and he's very smart, what he does. Because you look at somebody like that and you're like, does he mean it? Gotta watch the ads. Sorry. Does he mean it? And you're like, yes, yes, he means it enough to say it. Right. So you, you can't go off. You can't say that publicly unless you don't mean it. But to the same extent. Extent. Does he mean it as much as it comes off? Because he's got his pot, like, he's got his platform, like the. The who. Who'd he just fight? Hernandez?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Did he ever make fun of him being a Mexican?

[Mike]

Yeah, he was all over it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike]

He posted, he posted the. A fight poster of him in a nice outfit, the Mexican hat on, and said like. But then you saw the respect between the two guys.

[Tyler]

As fighters.

[Mike]

As fighters. That's what we do. They actually hugged him and were very cordial before the fights.

[Tyler]

And he said. And he said, hold on.

[Mike]

You gotta remember when McGregor, McGregor's biggest insult, which nobody's going to care about, was talking about the mother of Khabib. You don't. You do not say that to those guys from Dagestan. And Dustin Poirier, in the pre fight, before he fought Islam, Makachev called him a. It almost got ugly. And then Poirier realized that I said something in their culture that is not acceptable. He went up to Islam and they. Before the fight, he was like, look, I didn't understand the translation of culture much respect. McGregor didn't respect those guys and said those things and got his ass whooped. Yeah, this is a little different. Obviously, the super bowl was huge controversy. There was. It was again, I don't care who does it, but to make it a spectacle that he's a gay foreigner, which is what the left did and what everybody promoted it as, just let him sing Let the guy. Who cares what he does in the bedroom, whatever, let him sing. And I think that's where the breakdown is, is where Strickland gets upset, is you're making this about something, and you're making it a spectacle. This is America. And I think that's where he comes from. It's like, don't make me. Don't make it about a gay guy at halftime if you're going to do it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Did your. Is your. Your story with him in the U. S. Cowboy hat? The US but sombrero, Is that real?

[Mike]

I made that. You made that? It was. I mean, you know, Strickland took down Hernandez the next day. America takes down Canada. So I saw the. The funny meme, which was. It was the eagle in the middle. It was the map of Canada, United States and Mexico, and it had the eagle in America, the crying Jordan face on Canada, and Mexico was all blown up on fire. It was like. That was. That was the weekend.

[Tyler]

All right, so we're going to get into a little bit of miracle two.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Tyler]

USA Hockey Winter Olympics. Taking home the gold.

[Mike]

First time since 1980.

[Lewis]

Yeah, they were. They were underdogs in this match, too. Even though Sidney Crosby, the captain of Canada, was actually out for this finals match, he ended up getting hurt in the quarterfinals. He's the. I mean, everybody knows. Yeah, Sidney Crosby, he's still playing.

[Tyler]

He.

[Lewis]

He's the captain of the Canadian team, and he ended up getting hurt in the quarterfinals. So play in the finals. So a lot of Canadians are coming up with that excuse of why America beat them.

[Mike]

They were saying they're a better team. We are. But you don't make the statement that Canada is a better team and you lose. You can't say that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

No. And Canada was more dominant in this Olympic tournament than the United States. United States almost didn't beat Sweden. That was a close match.

[Mike]

And then the women won as well. So we had a sweep of the hockey.

[Lewis]

Yeah. The women won the final as well and won the gold. Big shout out to Connor Helleba, the. The goalie for the United states. He had 41 saves in the game. In the game Sunday against Canada. It's the most all time in a gold medal game. And the crazy thing is, too, is that this guy actually had an assist as well as a goalie. I think that was the first time that ever happened.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Assist as a goalie.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

He had an assist as a goalie on top of the 41 saves. It was the first time that it ever happened. And I'm pretty sure. Well, it was the first time it ever happened in a final. I think it's the first time it ever happened in the game itself. And then obviously, Jack Hughes, he scored the goal in overtime with a minute 41 left to win the gold medal.

[Tyler]

I think that.

[Lewis]

No, that's not it. That's the first goal.

[Tyler]

No, no, this is just. This is just background, man. I'm not at that level yet. Not at that level to be knowing what Canine's thinking and be playing. But, I mean, yeah, I. I think that it's. It was a hell of a weekend. We seem to prove ourselves on the hockey rink as a dominant country every time with Canada here is.

[Lewis]

Yeah, I mean, we have.

[Mike]

Look at Lewis go.

[Tyler]

Go Lewis, go.

[Mike]

Look at the. I want to show the celebration in the. In the locker room after the game. Somebody said we're living in a movie.

[Tyler]

Cash Patel is on page 57, 463. He needs a break, all right? He's got.

[Jimmy Watson]

He's got two and a half more

[Tyler]

million pages to go through. Let the guy clean bust open a bottle with Team usa.

[Mike]

Look, look. Look. At him in the locker room in Italy, man, just pounding beers with the usa.

[Tyler]

You like it?

[Mike]

I like it.

[Tyler]

I know you're gonna hate it.

[Mike]

War in Mexico, war in Iran, who cares? And we're over here. You can't worry about Cold Steel actually

[Tyler]

winning something up north or in Italy.

[Mike]

Cue the stone cold music right next to the DM DX music. We need. We need Steve Austin over there. Liberals are throwing a fit about this.

[Tyler]

Oh, I'm sure they.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

What do they want?

[Mike]

It says he was accidentally recorded with Team usa.

[Tyler]

What do they want from him? I don't know.

[Mike]

I like it. I'm not against it.

[Tyler]

No, but what do the liberals want?

[Mike]

Like I. Oh, it's just horrible. He's drinking beer.

[Tyler]

Drinking beer when he should be.

[Mike]

What is this American FBI director supporting America for? This is terrible. So interesting. Everybody threw a fit about this. Yeah, I like it. No, I'm not gonna on it. I like it. He's not mean. He's no Joe Bondino, but.

[Tyler]

Joe Bondino.

[Mike]

Joe Bondino, but. Yeah, if I had hair, it would be blue, red, white.

[Tyler]

So what's the deal? I don't follow the damn Olympics at all. How much more of this do we have going on before I could stop hearing about it real soon?

[Mike]

I know we won the most.

[Lewis]

It's almost over.

[Tyler]

This is the only event in the Winter Olympics that actually matters.

[Mike]

Curling got Huge press.

[Jimmy Watson]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

Come on, man.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

All the gay agencies were making curling videos with donuts and handcuffs. And I got. I got into it with the one Minnesota, their actual account. And I went back and forth.

[Tyler]

I was respecting their game. They weren't getting butt hurt. They were sending it back. Yeah, but don't you.

[Mike]

They were. I'll give it to them.

[Tyler]

Let's go find.

[Mike]

I was cool until they. They wanted me to follow them. I hate when they say that.

[Tyler]

Yo, if you're gonna keep talking me, at least follow me.

[Mike]

Follow me. Follow me first.

[Tyler]

All right, let's see. Is it. You have it in your reels?

[Mike]

No, no, it was on a story.

[Jimmy Watson]

Story.

[Tyler]

I was probably gone.

[Mike]

Hold on. All right. Yeah, it's. I can go to my com. I'll give you the agency page. Let me find the comment. You can go to them.

[Lewis]

Actually starting next week too is we have the World Baseball Classic that's going to be starting up and that's gonna be another event for this year for America. It's. It's pretty much like the Olympics of baseball in a way.

[Tyler]

Like they do.

[Lewis]

It's called the World Baseball Classic. So all the countries get together, their baseball teams get together, and only three

[Tyler]

teams have ever won an American sport.

[Mike]

Dominican. Dude, it is, but Dominican, Where'd it come from?

[Tyler]

What. What country started baseball?

[Mike]

Sure we did.

[Lewis]

I'm pretty sure it was America. Abner Double day, right?

[Mike]

Invented everything else. Like everything else. The Puerto Rican and Cuban and Dominicans

[Tyler]

realize white people have less skill and less genetic.

[Mike]

Yeah, you got.

[Lewis]

Well, that's the only sport they play there.

[Mike]

Kids getting paid like millions of dollars nowadays.

[Tyler]

Can you imagine a time when big old fashioned fat dude smoking a cigar with a beer belly was the dominant player in the country?

[Mike]

Go look. I can look at that.

[Tyler]

Even football.

[Mike]

You go back to football, you go back to baseball and you see like, oh, the.

[Tyler]

I saw a basketball reel where they're

[Mike]

just shooting and missing and they were like. This was 50s, a bunch of white. A bunch of white dudes shooting underhand and dude like, dude.

[Lewis]

Well, I think until. Until Jackie Robinson in the 1950s, 1940s, only mostly white guys were the only ones allowed to play. But they did let some Hispanics play as long as their skin wasn't too dark. So a Hispanic like me, according to Tyler, I think I would have been allowed to play until Jackie Robinson came along.

[Tyler]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. We're. Looks like our stream got cut. Really? Yeah. Okay.

[Mike]

Probably showing the ufc.

[Tyler]

I don't Know, I don't know if we stay on or stream. Suspended for policy violations.

[Mike]

I bet you showing that damn ufc, dude.

[Lewis]

I'm gonna check on my phone.

[Tyler]

Stand by. I don't know who the hell's watching us. We can't be watching right now.

[Lewis]

Yeah, it says on mine stream unavailable.

[Mike]

But you can comment.

[Lewis]

Yeah, you can comment.

[Mike]

Well, we're very important. I bet. I bet it's copyright. You were streaming that ufc. Well, yeah, but it's online.

[Lewis]

How is it.

[Mike]

Yeah, you're right. Nothing's copyright. That we're. It's already.

[Tyler]

They own the post to Facebook. Here's what you.

[Mike]

That one I saw earlier. What?

[Lewis]

You know what it could have been is the hockey. The Olympics? Because not even. I heard that. Like, not even allowed.

[Tyler]

How is it on YouTube? But then we can't play something that's on YouTube.

[Lewis]

I don't even think ESPN was allowed to show coverage of the Olympic tournament until it was completely over. Oh, we're back on. We're back on.

[Tyler]

We're back.

[Lewis]

Yeah, we're back.

[Tyler]

We're back.

[Mike]

What a joke.

[Tyler]

All right. I don't know. Like, I don't know if we.

[Mike]

I see it.

[Lewis]

Yeah, we're back.

[Tyler]

How do we find out why we were cut?

[Mike]

Have to ask later.

[Lewis]

It could have been the hockey, like I said.

[Tyler]

I mean. All right, so here's what we were talking about. When we were cut, we were streaming something, but we were only streaming on YouTube. So it can be on. Maybe it can be on YouTube on, like, another channel, I'm assuming. Let me look and see. Okay. It was the Olympics official channel.

[Lewis]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lewis]

Because as I was saying, not even ESPN was allowed to show, like, highlights or anything of the hockey.

[Mike]

Oh, American. That's America there, buddy.

[Lewis]

Yeah. Only NBC and the Olympic coverage was allowed to show it. ESPN couldn't even show the coverage until it's completely over.

[Mike]

Who owns all those networks?

[Tyler]

Small hat people.

[Mike]

Oh, okay. We didn't spend enough money. Pretty sure it's Google or Microsoft, so

[Tyler]

I. I don't know. NBC. NBC? Does NBC have the rights to it?

[Lewis]

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Only NBC. ESPN wasn't allowed to show any of the coverage of the.

[Tyler]

Anything. If you. Okay.

[Mike]

If you.

[Tyler]

YouTube. USA. Hoppy hockey Olympic win. It is Olympics official YouTube channel.

[Mike]

All right.

[Tyler]

I'm at least gonna show this. Geez Louise. Oh, what? All right, so if you look at. So USA Hockey, Olympic win. The long form videos are Olympics and NBC Sports. CBS Sports. I don't know. Maybe they're just. They're just showing still images on cbs. Okay. See? NBC Sports. NBC Sports. NBC Sports. NBC Sports. NBC Sports. NBC Sports. Team usa. I don't. I guess Team USA is an Olympic thing. I guess they are a lot. NBC Sports, NBC Sports, NBC Sports, Team usa. Okay, so that makes sense. Yeah. Don't stream the Olympics. Holy.

[Lewis]

Well, I'm pretty sure as of today, espn, they were showing the highlights today now that it's over. So they're allowed to now, but during the tournament they weren't allowed to.

[Tyler]

Espn, apparently the anti hero broadcast is not allowed to stream the Olympics that are. Well, these are close to that or what?

[Jimmy Watson]

Espn, Fox Sport, cbs, NBC.

[Tyler]

Peacock. What about it?

[Lewis]

The platforms that are allowed to stream it, the highlights.

[Tyler]

Does the anti. Is it the anti hair broadcast up there? No, that'll make you laugh. That made Louis.

[Mike]

I got the guy from Gaza ready.

[Tyler]

All right. Yo, canine, you going live tonight? You got a haircut?

[Lewis]

I'm going to get a haircut right now, but I will be live tonight. Sports 7pm Eastern. Counterculture live with Sipo. We're gonna break down the hockey game. Sean Strickland as well. Basketball, baseball.

[Tyler]

What'd you say?

[Mike]

Don't show any videos of the hockey game. You'll be shut.

[Lewis]

I don't know how to. I don't even know how to do it. I'm. I finally learned how to show pictures.

[Tyler]

I want to send this of dune tape graphic because he. He does the ad read but he doesn't put anything on the screen. And I'm like, can you imagine trying

[Mike]

to explain my stream yard, right?

[Lewis]

Yeah, I use stream yard, but dude, my ad reads are fire, bro.

[Mike]

You show you how to bring up the overlay. It's right on the screen down there.

[Lewis]

If goon tape watches my show.

[Mike]

I got you. Well, the audio too. I got to do the audio. Like he just. I mean, he's got it made, dude. Yeah, he just gets on the Internet, talks it's end and text me. He's like, I'm done, Mike.

[Tyler]

I'm done.

[Mike]

I'm done, bro.

[Tyler]

I'm done.

[Mike]

You got me.

[Tyler]

All right, I will see you tonight.

[Mike]

I don't know if he's there or not. Khalid, I have made so I have the wildest dms. I talk to everybody. No, not like that. I talk to everybody and I end up in my personal page with a dude living in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian. And he's like, wants to talk about what's going on over there. What happens? No, that we're really going to get cut now. We're supporting Palestine.

[Tyler]

I. I don't know who to please

[Mike]

anymore, but I don't know if he's there or not. He. There he goes. Bring him in. Khalid, my friend, can you see us? Hello?

[Tyler]

It looks like.

[Khalid]

Yeah. Hello. I'm hearing, but the sound is disconnected somehow.

[Mike]

We can hear you. Can you hear us?

[Khalid]

Yes, yes, I'm hearing.

[Mike]

Okay, give me, give me, give us a run. You're in Gaza. Give us a rundown of what, what the current state of that is and what's going on over there.

[Khalid]

What's going on here in Gaza? This is your question, right?

[Mike]

Yeah. But please keep it.

[Tyler]

What?

[Mike]

Keep it as best as you can without saying certain words.

[Tyler]

Jews.

[Mike]

Yeah,

[Khalid]

yeah, okay. Actually, here in Gaza, as a Gazan person live here, we all are still suffering. Even the ceasefire had been signed and even are recognizing that the pumping kind of get lower than before, but the suffering is still. Because since the 7th of October, all the families, like, let's say most of the families had lost their work, their business, their jobs. Yeah. So since the 7th of October, most of the families had lost their only main source income. To have money and living without money is really shit. Especially when you are living in war and been displaced so many times. And every day you have to have money to buy food, to buy other stuff. And when Israel forced you to be displaced to a new place, which you have never ever visited, you have to have money to take your stuff. So money is basic things, especially in the war. And there's no way to gain money like before, like all kind of work. Business had me nonstop. Could you write your question in, in, in the messages? So, so I can read it and I can. And I can answer it because I don't know, the Internet is kind of weak for me and I. I don't hear all your. Everything you said.

[Mike]

I got you.

[Tyler]

Okay, hold on one second.

[Khalid]

Yeah, forgive me then turn it here is so bad. And this is in Gaza.

[Tyler]

Like, wait, did you type a comment or a message?

[Mike]

I can't comment on anything. What am I gonna comment you come.

[Tyler]

It's commented in YouTube. It says.

[Mike]

Where else am I going to send it to?

[Tyler]

I thought you were gonna talk to him on Instagram. He said I can't.

[Mike]

He'll. He'll take his phone away.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay.

[Mike]

Yeah. Is it. Are you. Is there still fighting there?

[Khalid]

Yes, yes. Everyday, Israel pumping, not fighting because we don't have power. We are not as strong as you thought at all. Like the resistance can defend even for, for themselves, for their souls. They Can't Israel have tanks, have airplanes, have modern technology, have weapons, have the supporting from the most. From most of the governments, have money, have power, everything. But we as a resistance, since the 7th of October, no one support us, you know, and we can't. Like, it's not fair for us to fight, to fight against Israel. Yeah. So the fighting is still Israel. Do whatever they want. If they won't bomb me while I'm speaking to you, they can, they can't bump everywhere in Gaza. There is nothing called safe here.

[Mike]

And you said earlier all Internet went down. They took down the Internet signal and you had to wait for it to come back up.

[Khalid]

What?

[Mike]

They took down the Internet? You lost your Internet?

[Jimmy Watson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Khalid]

Like, it's because here we depend on solar panel to have electricity. So the battery didn't work well in, in the night, you know?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Khalid]

Here, here in Gaza, since the, since the beginning of the war, all the families depend on solar panel, which are like, it wasn't common for us to have solar panel for the war. We was having electricity from Israel. And when the war began, Israel stopped supplies Gaza by electricity. So it's dark here and I am using flash. Flash from another phone. Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay. Well, I really appreciate you reaching out and hopefully things improve. If you can keep contacting me, we'll get you back on with any updates about anything. But we appreciate it. Thank you very much for coming on. Good. I mean, that's wild, dude.

[Lewis]

Like.

[Mike]

Like what he was saying for if you guys are having trouble listening is after October 7th, they've lost all power and been displaced to the street. Like, he sent me a video earlier of where he's at.

[Jimmy Watson]

It's.

[Mike]

There's no buildings. It's just tents and cloth, tents and sticks. They have no power. You see, obviously at night he's using his cell phone, flash and his cell phone, sporadic Internet power. And that kind of went, not to be funny, kind of dark. We really haven't heard anything else about Gaza peace, what's going on? And he says there's still bombings, there's still war going on, there's still buildings blowing up.

[Tyler]

So he's still in the lobby, by the way.

[Mike]

Ignore moving. Loath just.

[Tyler]

I see two eyeballs staring at me. Yeah, that, that's.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know how I end up with these people, but he found me on my personal page.

[Tyler]

What do you say?

[Mike]

He was like, hey, I guess he's seen the show. He's like, hey, do you understand? You'd know how bad it is in Gaza. I'm like, well, obviously, no, maybe we

[Tyler]

can do something pre recorded with them.

[Mike]

Yeah, I can work on that.

[Tyler]

You know, when it's good for him and he's got good Internet, which is really never. There won't. Because there won't be as much of a delay.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

All right, Jay, got your email. Thanks, bro. Checking it in real time. Is it up that I was, when I was watching that, I was like, man, I hope he doesn't get like an airstrike or right now.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. Think about it like, we, we got Mexico going on, we got Iran going on. We got that situation still happening. And, you know, I talked to him over the weekend, pretty in depth. We talked for about an hour back and forth. And, you know, he's like, nobody knows how bad it is here. Nobody understands. And regardless of. I go back to it, no matter what side you're on, there's still decent human beings in all these regions that just want to live, you know, and like he said, all. Everybody lost their jobs, they have no way to make money, they have no income, they have no food, they have no power. And they're just. They've been displaced from where they used to live. They were told, you're out of here. And he showed me a video earlier today of where, you know, what he's living in. And it looks like as bad as you would think. Just huts and.

[Tyler]

And is it just because the. There's. I mean, is all their shit's destroyed?

[Mike]

Yeah, they were displaced.

[Tyler]

He thought I was gonna say something.

[Mike]

Well, he said it in his messages. I asked him about a certain group.

[Tyler]

Why are you in a tent?

[Mike]

I said, why? You know, I asked him about a certain group of people and he said, them.

[Tyler]

Oh, the hatred's real, guys, between those two. You know, obviously, when I was a young man, about nine months ago, I believed one thing, you know, and it's like, man, dude, I, I love the memes that are like, why do I have to pick between.

[Mike]

Yeah, the, The.

[Tyler]

The Palestinians and the Israel people of. They were. How can I. Is there a possibility. Does not care about either one. Because we're, We're. It's one of those things we're forced to decide. We're forced. You gotta pick a side. Palestine or Israel. So everybody jumps on the one that's all mainstream, which is Israel. And then we all start learning about,

[Mike]

well, no, have this. You saw the Palestinian support. There were flags flying.

[Tyler]

That is, that is.

[Mike]

That is. I get it. That is but yeah, when I. And people think, oh, you know, they think. I don't know what they think about me. I really don't give a. But at my core, I don't want to see innocent people die. There's no reason innocent people should die. It doesn't make sense. We go all the way to Alex Peretti and there's ice shootings and all this. I still don't want to see those people die. That guy, you know, whatever you may think of him, and then like a guy like this where, you know, I get the pro Palestinian marches and that, that's nonsense to take over campuses and all and all that. That's stupid. Then, you know, and then you have to choose a side. But this, you know, this is a dude that reaches out to me. I look at where he's living, I see what he's doing. He explains his family background. We were just minding our business, living in an area. We were completely displaced. We were moved.

[Tyler]

Were they displaced by war? Were they displaced by.

[Mike]

No. Israel. Throw them out.

[Tyler]

So they just go door to door.

[Mike]

You're gone, you're out of here. Plus, there's bombs going. Plus. Yeah, plus you're getting bombed. So it's like, you probably go, I probably should not stay here. So now that, like, I'll get him to do a better video and I will drop it. Like a video breakdown. Talking and. But he showed it to me this morning. He sent me. I don't think I have it. No, he sent me like one of those videos that disappears. But it's. Dude, they're living in the middle of. And it sucks. No power. And I don't wish that upon anybody. Anybody that has a good heart wants to just live. It sucks to see that happen.

[Tyler]

That's war, baby.

[Mike]

Yeah, it is. It's the war machine.

[Tyler]

That's why our country is so great. We get to break down UFC and

[Mike]

the Olympics until you break down the wrong thing and then they shut you down for.

[Tyler]

Yeah, so that's the only thing America's got to worry about, is copyright. That's it.

[Mike]

About what? Money? It's all about money. It's all about capitalism, baby.

[Tyler]

Paramount's all worried about what's his nuts saying? Gay and.

[Mike]

Yeah, so is that Marine guy. He's mad. He didn't like when I said it.

[Tyler]

Guys, don't forget our merch store. Obviously you have counterculture threads and cop vill og, but we also have the anti air broadcast store that you can go to the anti airbroadcast.com and then select the. It's either store tab, shop tab. Yes. And all of our designs are in there. We got designs made by the 99. You guys are amazing for everything you do. Don't forget we got the X conference coming up. I don't have an image for Lewis right now, but I will have it up next time. April 21st, the 24th in Myrtle Beach. If you are a cop and you want to learn some proactive policing, it's 99 for four days. 99 for four days. We'll be there. See if your agency will pay for it. If not, it's only 99 bucks. Come hang out with us. That's ran by Kenny the Red Ninja, the interdiction mastermind. So we will be there in April 21st to 24th. Myrtle Beach.

[Mike]

Not speaking though, are you?

[Tyler]

No.

[Mike]

They don't know anything about your police work?

[Tyler]

No, unfortunately they don't. I just don't think they want me opening my mouth.

[Mike]

Somebody said. Somebody commented. I think it was frontline misfits coming. It'll be a street cop training probe all over again where they decertify. Anybody who went to the conference is decertified because there's top villain Tyler got on stage and said something. So what we're. We're just janitors in the back. We'll be sweeping up the floors at the end of the night and we won't. We won't give any. We'll tone alert. Be there.

[Tyler]

We'll be there shooting a live broadcast every day still at 11am that's not going to change. We'll just be on location and we'll have our merch setups too. And. And I'm thinking about trying to get some kind of utilizing our time there, finding a pub nearby and being like, yo, on this night, we're gonna go.

[Mike]

I mean, that'll. That'll have. There'll be a bunch of that'll happen. I think Jerry's gonna be there. Jerry's. Jerry's worms is coming. Yeah.

[Tyler]

So we'll like, maybe like do like a little mini live show.

[Mike]

Yeah, we'll have to have some type of meetup.

[Tyler]

That's it, guys.

[Mike]

That's it.

[Tyler]

That's it.

[Mike]

Starving.

[Tyler]

I'm starving. I got about 800, 000 phone calls to make. I don't know what it is. But at 11am from the start, everything. I am up till 6 in the morning. Nothing. At 6 in the morning, nothing happens until 11am My phone just starts blowing up and I can't respond to anything because I'm in the middle of a live show, but probably the feds telling me to shut up. Yeah, Google telling me to stop playing the Olympics. So.
