It has been an absolutely crazy past couple of weeks. While we've been away, the United States has effectively taken over Venezuela. But the big news now is that gunfire is being reported, reports of explosions, and there is deep concern that the US intervention removing Maduro will destabilize the country. There's a lot of fake videos circulating claiming Venezuelans are celebrating. I do think, personally, Venezuela is better off without their tin pot communist dictator, as he's being referred to. But there's a bigger conversation about what this means for America. And there's a lot of pros, there's a lot of cons. We're gonna talk about that. But we are choosing to lead tonight with the attack on J.D. vance's home because this is not an accident. This was a targeted attack on the home of the vice president, a man who is transgender, who's the child of big Democrat donors or of Democrat donors. Let's try and lighten the language. Took a hammer and started smashing up the front of his house. They think it was a break in. Initial reports were of shots fired, but that could have just been that people heard the glass break. So it's still absolutely crazy the VP was targeted in this way. And considering what we experienced in the past month, you'll also notice we're in a totally different building right now, different studio. There is very serious, very serious concerns about the escalation of violence. So along with that being a massive story, again, I think the biggest story in the world right now is Venezuela potential destabilization. What this means. Maduro has pleaded not guilty and the stock market in Venezuela is skyrocketing with news that the socialist has been removed. So we're gonna talk about that and a whole lot more, my friends.

Right on. Ian's here.
C
Yeah. Hey, everyone. Welcome back from the holiday. Man, what a. What a couple of weeks this has been.
B
I'm happy to be here. I got a lot of sun today.
C
Did some wild, excellent stretches last night before bed. About 20 minutes of deep stretching. Breathe through the pain, Tate. Breathe through the pain. Okay, Tate Brown.
D
Hello, guys. Tate Brown. You're holding it down. I am breathing through the pain as well. Yeah, I'm loving Florida. I get down at this. I was at the beach, like, all afternoon.
B
Sand on your hat?
D
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I saw in the mirror before. I still have sand on the hat, so it's kind of adding to the aesthetic. Want to build the ambiance, the immersion with the audience, but happy to be here.
B
Hello, everybody.
E
My name is Phil Avanti. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.
B
And there's a big, beautiful lit up. Yeah, I want the wide shot. Do we have a wide shot? No. Oh, it looks nice.
E
White shot today.
B
It says rumble on it. We are in this very beautiful studio and the cameras and lighting is absolutely fantastic. And we have monitors. How cool is that? Very professional. Let's talk about news, though, my friends. This is a. A crazy story. He's got some post. Millennial man arrested for attempted breakin of J.D. vance's Ohio home. Identifies as trans, father is a Democrat donor. Facebook profile shows a picture of defore, but with the name Julia and the pronouns she, her. So for those that didn't see the story, we got breaking news early in the morning that there were shots fired at the home of Vice President J.D. vance, which were later clarified to be an attempted break in. This individual, apparently, according to the story, took a hammer and was smashing up the windows. Now, here's the thing. This road had been closed. This is the VP's house, right? I remember back in Chicago when Obama lived in Hyde Park. Everybody knew where Obama lived and the cops were always out there because crazy people will do crazy things. So now, you know, we have, you know, we had a discussion before the show, we always do, on what's the more pressing story, what needs to be talked about? Venezuela's foreign policy stuff and it's a massive story, but it's very esoteric. My view is kind of like we're experiencing both from a personal and professional and cultural perspective, an increase in escalation of violence threatening the structures of this country. That I think if you go to a regular person, actually, you know what, I'm gonna put it like this. I was at the poker tables the other day. Check it out. This great poker room called One Eyed Jack's Poker Room in Sarasota. Shout out and really fun. And a couple of the guys that were playing there were just like, what's Venezuela like? I don't know what's going on. And I'm like, really? And so the issue for me with this is, you know, we were, we, we of course were personally affected by the violence with the shooting we had in the past month. Hence we're not at the studio. We're working on solving these problems. And then the first day back, I'm, I'm, I'm coming in in the morning and I'm thinking I'm going to pull up some Venezuela stuff and talk about Maduro and intervention, of which I tons of opinions about. And then I see breaking news. J.D. vance is home, shot at. And I'm like, holy crap. I look it up, okay, it was an attempted break in. And then we find out later in the day it's a transgender leftist whose parents are Democrat donors. And we're like, okay, we can see where this is going now. I look at a story like this, it is extremely disconcerting considering what we've already seen in terms of escalation. But I also feel like you go to a regular person and you say you hear about the vice President's house being attacked, like, oh, yeah, that's crazy. So as much as I think the bigger story personally is foreign policy, I think for the American people, this story is more pressing. Yeah, more pressing.
C
It reminds me of the guy who smashed Nancy Pelosi's husband in the head with a hammer. I mean, it was a break in glass, shattered hammer. I think this guy used a hammer also.
B
And I think they're a little different.
C
Yeah, it's definitely a different situation. But it reminded me of that when I.
B
The thing about the Pelosi's getting attacked was that like, this wasn't a right wing guy. This was a crazy person. And initially we didn't understand how this, how this could have happened.
C
They might have known each other too. Like the story. And full.
B
I think that was. The original story was like, maybe. And so there was a lot of speculation, some of it obviously unwarranted, that it was like a booty call. A booty call or something. I lean more towards like a drug thing. This, however, is, I'll put it like this. The Nancy Pelosi and the Paul Pelosi attack. Horrifying. Very, very bad. Nobody wants that. Worth talking about. We have questions. Same thing here. However, this fits a pattern of an escalation of violence against right wing individuals. The left does not have.
E
Not only that, this is, I mean, how many trans people have, have, you know, acted out in a violent manner, politically motivated and stuff. This has become undeniably pattern. I tried to, I mean, I didn't want to get involved in the, oh, look, it's the, it's always trans people, blah, blah, blah. But it's, it does get to the point where you're like, look, this, you can't deny the fact that these people, whether it's because, whether it has anything to do with the fact that they're trans or just because they're trans and they're in the LGBTQ lobby and they feel like the LGBTQ identities are being repressed or whatever, they're. So they're lashing out. It's something that's real.
B
You know, I think that's probably a factor. But I also think, probably, and I say this without any derision or hate in my heart, I mean, I mean this seriously. I think these people are sick. I think if you are getting surgeries and you are taking medication, I'll just put it simply, you know, they're going to get offended. Liberals will get offended by me saying this, but there is something wrong with you.
E
They'll get offended.
B
They're going to, they're going to rice. But here's the point. There was this push to remove gender dysphoria from the, from the DSM 5 and actual trans activists came out saying, stop, because if you get this removed as a mental disorder, diagnosable mental disorder, you can't get prescriptions for it. So these people who want to be offended by me saying there's something wrong with this person, they are sick and need help. If that were not the case, they couldn't legally be prescribed medication, now, could they?
E
And look, to your point, like, even if they are sick, and I know that there are a lot of right wing people that would hate even hearing this, but even if they are sick, like, that doesn't mean that they can't get treatment and, and actually decide to live like, you know, the Other sex, if they want, we can make room for that in society. I don't think that we should be, we should be empowering them at all. But like the idea that, that because you're acknowledging that it is a disorder that they are, they're going to be shoved into the closet again. I don't know. That's, that's going to be the situation.
D
Yeah, no, no, I was just saying, I mean, I think the, the bigger issue here is this isn't even really a personal issue with these people. This is a society wide issue because we're enabling behavior that is inherently self destructive. And so naturally when you enable that, that sort of behavior is going to extrapolate out to the population, that they're going to take this out in the population. If they have such a poor perception of themselves where they feel like they were truly born in the wrong body, they're going to have a lot of difficulty interacting with other people and giving them if they can't. Because if you can't give yourself dignity, you're certainly not going to extend that to other people.
A
See, I'm in the camp where I don't even think they should get the surgery because even when they're adults, because it's a mental disorder, you don't go and tell someone who's too skinny you need to actually eat less. Like, what are you doing? You're feeding their delusion by giving them these surgeries. And then they're like, okay, well I'm actually a woman now. If you don't refer to me as a woman, I'm gonna punch you in the face.
E
Surgery should be outlawed.
B
The hard thing about this for me is we left off last year being like, we're not having fun anymore. You know, it used to be when we first started doing the show, when I was doing stuff, there were serious issues to talk about and sometimes we get angry, but there was always a little bit of laughing. And I feel like in the past several months, Charlie Kirk's murder, there's no laughing, there's less of it. And I'm like, we need to try and laugh more. It's really hard to do. It's really hard to laugh at this and like to make jokes and have a good time. And the problem I have with it is I feel like there are people who watch at home and we, all of us are super tightly wound up and high stroke. This is what my problem when I wake up in the morning and I'm like, okay, let's talk about Venezuela foreign policy. I Mean, I've got concerns about intervention. And then it's like, oh, actually, the biggest story right now is that someone tried breaking in. Well, there were shots at J.D. vance's house. Not true. But that was the initial report. Someone's trying to break in. Another attack against the Right. And I'm like, man, it is really hard to stay positive and have fun. So I will say, moving forward, we're gonna try and we're gonna succeed.
A
We can. Right here. Look at this guy. It looks like Jabba the Hutt.
B
It looks like.
A
It looks like a discord Reddit mod.
B
I mean, yeah, but then you. Then you get banned for being hateful. Yeah. Well, guys, let us have fun. Let's. Let's release a little studio.
A
The haircut is ridiculous. That the barber, literally, that's the.
D
Due to the roar special.
A
It's disgusting. They're all way too fat. They're all way too fat or way too skinny. They don't take care of their bodies.
B
No, no, I agree with this. It's like, I. I don't care if you're trans. Your haircut is disgusting.
D
It looks like if one of the beetles melted.
A
That's what it looks like.
D
I mean, this is really something I wanted.
B
Now we're getting somewhere.
D
Yeah, now we're getting some. This really does illustrate the point, though, is like, you know, with these types of people that are roaming around the streets being completely enabled by society, like, to enable their delusions, what you create in the United States and the west at large is you have an increasingly large proportion of the population that has nothing to lose. So this is obviously going to happen. Like, we have this. This issue in the United States where we want to address a level of the issue without going and cutting the head off the snake. Right. Like, what's going on here is this is much higher. This is of much larger magnitude, this issue in which people in American society feel like they have no purpose. They feel like they're completely. I'll use the word that we were using last year, deracinated. And it causes these issues. And so it's like, okay, we can clamp down on antifa violence. This is great. But to undo this damage, to give people, like, sort of meaning back in their lives, that's going to take a lot more work. And quite frankly, a lot of those issues, people that they're politically radioactive, people don't want to touch them. It causes tremendous, tremendous issues. But, yeah, back to my first point. It's. This is someone that has nothing to lose, and there's a lot of people.
A
You can see it in the eyes. You can always see it in the eyes. Look at, look at that thing's eyes.
D
Yeah. If you have no purpose, no North Star in your life, you're gonna lash out. I would attach onto some sort of radical ideology.
B
I was having a conversation at a poker table as literally every story I have for you will begin. And in all seriousness, it's largely because that's where you're sitting around a group of people and everyone's kind of debating, but you got eight people at a table and there was this liberal guy and he said of the Somali daycare fraud stuff that he's totally fine with it. And he says, I got no problem giving a small percent of my money to help people. And I was like, but you're not helping people. They're stealing money and buying Gucci with it. And he goes, eh, what a billion dollars, who cares? And I said, Gen Z, who can't afford homes, who can't get jobs and are being told by you at Gen Xer you don't care that the public coffers are being stolen for luxury items in an immigrant community. I'm like, this is why you're going to get Nick Fuentes. And he's like, I don't know what that is. And I'm like. I said, you know, honestly, liberal and conservative just means I know the news or I don't know the news. And I was like, I'm not saying this to be derisive, but if you don't know what's going on in the world and you don't know the news, you'll call yourself a liberal. And he goes, I actually don't watch any news at all or read anything. And I was like, well, you know, case in point, right?
A
So did he identify his queens as kings? Did he like say, yeah, these queens are actually kings, they transition.
B
That's a good idea actually. I'll be like, my queens are kings. I win actually.
A
Of course they identify as kings. So you've gotta, you've gotta do it. They transition.
B
Next time I have queens and someone else has kings and we both go all in at the end. I'll be like, actually, we push. Yeah, we chop. It's a chop pot.
A
It's true.
D
Jack is some sort of non binary.
B
Yeah, true. I had to point out, no Ace is non binary because it goes both ways.
D
That's true.
B
That is true.
C
With this story about this guy who identified as transgender breaking JD Vance's or trying to break into his house. I want to always remind people it's a correlation, like having a mental disorder or any kind of, like, mentally ill people tend to be, you know, potentially commit more acts of illegality. And people that are suffering from mental illness also might have an array of those things. It doesn't mean that that's the reason they did it. So it's very dangerous to go down the path of being like, well, if they're transgender, then fill in the blank. It's a correlation.
B
It's a good point because the correlation might not be gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria might be part. Might be on top. Right. The underlying cause might result in violent tendencies or, and gender dysphoria, among other other things. So the issue is, and I agree with this, that someone will see, oh, another trans person committed an act of violence and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There may be an underlying mental illness, nihilism, or some kind of social disorder that results in a multitude of things, including gender dysphoria, violence, anorexia, pica, whatever it might be. And I actually think that's, that's, I think that's true. I don't see all these trans people and these stories of like, violence committed by trans shooters as an issue of trans people. I see trans people as an issue of something else that combines these issues. I think we've got dejected youth. I think we've got social media induced mental illness. I think we've got drug induced mental illness. I think we're over prescribing drugs to young people, to kids.
C
Speaking of, did you see the Trump administration just announced they're gonna go from 72 mandated vaccines, scheduled vaccines, to 11.
B
Have that in their wild.
C
We'll talk about that later tonight. That's.
B
But, but we're over prescribing medications. And on top of that, the Internet is destroying social function. So when we talk about transgenderism, some of it being a social contagion, I think Dylan Mulvaney is a great example of this. Dylan Mulvaney is not gender dysphoric nor. What's the, what's the, the fetish one.
A
It turns, it turns them on to be a cross dresser.
B
That's. That's the fetish one. Agp. Agp.
E
Yeah.
B
Dylan Mulvaney is doing it for attention on social media, in my opinion. Yeah, like that social drive is the social contagion. And so it's not one thing, it's a bunch of different things that are manifesting in a variety of problems. In our society.
A
I think another reason.
E
You can go, go ahead.
A
I feel like, like these, a lot of these trans people are people who grew up being told, oh, you're special your entire life. You are. You're in a special area of class where you're like a higher achiever and all that kind of stuff. And then once their grades start slipping, there's a lot of this out there. They no longer have that attention of being called special. And then once they go through high school, they end up being like, well, nobody really wants to talk to me. I'm not special anymore, so I'm gonna become trans or any, a plethora of anything of these other things.
B
That's the social contagion element where it's like, it became trendy in the media. TV shows were launched by it.
D
And what Lance is talking about is like, society permits antisocial behavior, it never corrects for antisocial behavior. And this is like across the board at all. Like, that's what creates crime. Like, like the things that foster crime, especially in inner city communities, is the fact that these communities do not police for antisocial behavior from an early age. And then it manifests into violence. It manifests into a whole plethora of issues. It's the same thing with trans.
A
And I guess the other, this guy that just did this at JD Vance's house probably also did this because he wanted to be famous in some sort, in some way.
D
Yeah. Well, all the social incentives in American society skew towards antisocial behavior.
E
But it does, it does seem like, like trans people, like, it's, it's a manifestation of a bunch of different things. Like we're talk AGP is one of them. The idea that, you know, if you're a white man, you've been deep or a young white man, you've been demonized so much that there's, there's really no social benefit to being a straight white guy. But if you're a, if you're a trans person or what have you, then that's some kind of, some kind of social benefit that, that you'll get. Whereas if you're a straight white guy, you don't. Exactly.
C
So how do you get out of that?
E
If you're, if you're in, if you're told from your, when you're a young kid that you're inherently evil. Oh, well, you know, if you, if you decide that you're non binary or maybe you're trans or, or what have you, there's an incentive to join the LGBT lobby and, and get away from the. Oh, you're just a normal white guy. No, no, I'm not. I'm non binary.
A
I'm trans.
D
Yeah. It's certainly like, it's got a tic.
B
Tac toe thing going on.
A
I'm biracial. Oh, yeah. I've transitioned. Now I'm a black man.
D
Yeah, yeah. It's definitely a subconscious thing because I mean, if, if it were a conscious thing, these people already presposed that white men are actually like rural ruling everything. Yeah. They would want to be a white man. So if, if anything, it is subconscious.
B
All right, let's get into the nitty gritty. We got breaking news coming out of Venezuela. Heavy gunfire in Caracas. Let's roll tape. Now, could it be that this is just celebratory?
A
That's true.
B
Big celebration that they are so happy that Maduro is out. They are shooting anti material, anti aircraft rounds into the air.
C
Yeah, I haven't heard of that before. Celebration.
B
These are not just bullets.
A
The ghost of Kiev.
E
I'll say this much, I don't think that it's actually the United States doing an op because the lights are on. When the US went and they just turned, they turned Caracas off. Everything was out.
B
So Disclose TV half an hour ago had a report, explosions reported reported at Miraflores palace in Venezuela's capital, Caracas El. According to El Paez. So we've also got this report. We'll, we'll, we'll rope it in here. Venezuela's Caracas stock exchange ends the day nearly 70% higher as markets react to the US capturing President Maduro.
C
Oh my gosh.
B
What we're seeing here with these, with the, with this gunfire, we don't know what it is, but you know, I would say I've seen a lot of the pro Trump, the MAGA faction celebrating US intervention. There has been a good example of this, of this, of criticism We've seen is Viva Fry criticizing Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh saying, hey, if we're going to go in and take resource of our country, it's a good thing. Then Viva, of course, saying, here's a post from Matt Walsh about foreign intervention in the Middle East. It does seem, at least in my opinion, that there is an incongruence. I would describe it as there's a lot of people on the right who are celebrating this intervention despite being generally anti intervention for the most part. When it comes to the Middle East, I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I think you can support this operation while opposing what we did in the Middle East. However, my point is there are some people that are clearly just saying whatever Trump does is right. And there are a lot of people more on the left saying no matter what Trump does, he's wrong. A good example being Chris Murphy, who in 2019 said, Trump should be organizing like the removal of Maduro, he's way more dangerous. And then now today saying it's an illegal attack on Venezuela. But the big picture here is this. The concern I have always with regime change, operations, intervention, even when it is in our backyard and smoothly done like this, is potential destabilization. So let me just say this right away. Cause I know everyone is aching to hear my opinions. I talked about it in the morning show. But for those that are just watching irl, this is. I'm lukewarm on this operation. I can very easily say a few things. Venezuela aggresses upon us all the time. They are in our backyard. Right. We are operating in the Gulf of America. Sorry, Gulf of America.
A
Don't misgender it.
B
And Venezuela does as well. And Venezuela does manufactured drugs. Many of those drugs are sent to this country. And so the question is, the way I describe it is like this. If you had a neighbor across the street from you who kept shooting guns and had drug dealers coming in out of his house, and it was attracting homeless people and criminals, and they started hanging out on your property, and you had to keep coming out and stopping people from breaking stuff on your property, at what point do you call the police and say, I want you to take that guy down by force, like a media player? That's the question of war. So you've got these people that are saying, I thought you opposed intervention. Why would you support Venezuela? And it's like, well, hold on. You're talking about Afghanistan and Iraq and war with Iran. We're talking about 20,000 miles away. This is not something directly in our backyard.
D
Sure.
B
It's like saying, I got a beef with the guy on the other side of town. And a certain point, you do call the cops on them. But there's a big difference with Venezuela being in our backyard.
C
And there's a lot of difference between regime change and regime change war. When you look at what the economic hitman talks about, first you try and bribe the guy to get a regime change. If you won't take the money, then you go kidnap him or execute, prosecute him. And for the regime change that fails, then you do a regime change war. So they seem to be at part two. They got him. They stole him, took him. And they're foisting a regime change, ideally with no proceeding, war after the fact. But the thing is, man, you sell. Don't celebrate day one after an operation and be like, see? He finally did it. They finally did regime change.
A
Right?
C
Like, bro, when was the last time you saw the United States do regime change? Right? When have you ever seen any more.
B
Videos coming out of Venezuela? See, this is what I'm talking about, man. Check this out. Unidentified drones flew over the Miraflores palace in central Caracas, leading security forces to open fire. This is why we're seeing those shots. So what you were saying, civilian drones.
D
Yeah. So a lot of the local reporting in Venezuela saying that it was a civilian drone that got too close to the palace and the Venezuelans just unloaded on it because, I mean, tensions are high. Obviously they're freaking out. They're in disarray.
E
See, if it was the United States, they would just turn Caracas off again.
B
So we.
A
Israeli drone, I bet.
E
Here we go.
B
See, I got a video here. I don't know if it's real. I don't know if I want to play it or not, because. Just a video of people shooting. Yeah. And so I'm not gonna pull this in. It says there's reported gunfire, according to Bloomberg, around Venezuela's capital in Caracas. And it shows a video of a guy. I don't want to play this. We know if it's real.
D
Yeah.
B
And it's from. Yeah, it's from 40. About an hour, almost an hour ago. So we can't confirm a lot of these things. What I will say is, as more information is starting to come in, the concern I have with regime change. And again, brilliant point, Ian. All of these people, like, you know, Matt Walsh, says regime change, war is bad. Now we're talking about regime change without the war. And the war was always the biggest factor in it. I'm gonna stress this. I'm still not a fan of us going and removing the government or whatever. I say I'm lukewarm on it. Iraq, Afghanistan, easily opposed to a great degree. War with Iran, absolutely not. Venezuela, I don't like it. But there's a big difference here. And it's not a war. However, the reason why I don't like it is very clear. People have said it's not. It's not Islamic tribesmen, you know, and goat herders who are fighting with each other without a stable government. It's Venezuela. Okay. It's the removal of one leader and the government can continue. Yes, but there Are narco gangs. There are cartels. And a power vacuum will create conflict. So what happens now if the US they say we're running the show there until they can have an election.
D
Yeah.
B
What happens if a cartel goes? Now's our chance. The US has not come in. There's no boots on the ground and the government's been. Is now in chaos. What's to stop criminal gangs to go in and try and start seizing power? What's to stop them from going and seizing industry? The US Sending boots on the ground. Great. Then we get the war portion of this or we ignore it and let criminals stage a coup or other factions. We tried it in Iran and I know Iran is very different from the United States. I'm sorry, from Venezuela. The point is, the last thing we want is destabilization in Venezuela. Because if you thought the narco gangs and the cartels were bad now, what happens when the whole country is destabilized? I know Maduro is a bad guy. Venezuela is better off without him. So long as they don't destabilize because of this.
D
Yeah. Oh, there's. There's two points and then a third address. That is the first two. I think the reason why people are antsy about this but have come around on this specific intervention is because it's actually rare to see competency in these operations from the United States. Like, for what it's worth, we're not the best at running an empire. Like, if you compare us to, like, these historic empires were not very good at conducting affairs. And so people don't expect competency from these sorts of operations. The fact that this was done in 88 minutes, in and out Maderos in a black bag back in New York, Stewart, blows people's minds. And that's why people are like, wow, actually, if this is how we're going to conduct these operations, I do support these because I didn't expect that. I did not factor that in. The second point being the United States clearly communicated what its foreign policy goals were in the Western Hemisphere. And that's a breath of fresh air to people to say, we looked at the nss. It was very clear what we wanted to do in our backyard. And then we went and did it. There was no inconsistency. We saw with Libya what you saw with Iraq, Afghanistan, you name it. It was ambiguous. There was not much communication to the American people. None of it really made a lot of sense geopolitically. The goals changed three years in a lot of different moving parts. With this one we literally said in the nss, we are going to patrol our own neighborhood. And then that's exactly what happened. So no one felt like the blind was pulled down on them. And then to Tim's point about the destabilization, one thing that has to be factored in here is that the opposition party received, like, tremendous support in the last election. They're currently in exile, but presumably if they do return to Venezuela, which is probably going to happen, they will have pretty popular support within Venezuela. The military, they're probably come around. There's a lot of reports of. A lot of these generals and officers in the military were never loyalist to Maduro in the first place. So it's very likely that if the United States does install the opposition, obviously that's been exiled, then there would probably. It probably wouldn't be too hard to wrangle the country back under control.
B
Here's what matters. The American economy is about to boom.
E
Yep.
A
Yep.
B
We just got what, billions, I think 17 trillion. Trillions of barrels of oil. Is that what it is? I think it's 17 trillion. And you know, it's going to take.
E
A while to get it out of.
B
The ground, but yeah, you can make a lot of plastic with that.
A
Yeah.
B
And we like our plastic here in the United States.
A
So the, the price of Legos is going to go down.
C
A lot of smart kids, this is.
B
This is the name of the game. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. First of all, we're in Florida right now. You go out in Florida and ask someone what they think about Maduro and you're gonna find a lot of Venezuelan exiles who are gonna be like, yes. We saw people driving around with the Venezuelan flag on it. They are happy Maduro was gone. They are here because Maduro burned their country down.
A
Yeah.
B
Not just him, Chavez, who then handed it to the bus driver, Maduro, who chubbily ate an empanada live on TV while the nation was starving. These are not good people. But I go to a regular American anywhere, and I guarantee you, if I say, what do you think about Venezuela? They're gonna be like, what? I said, what do you think about Trump going in and removing the President of Venezuela? And they're gonna be like, he did. Cause I kid you not, that's what was happening yesterday when I said that guy was like, I don't watch the news. He's like, we did what in Venezuela? And I'm like, we conquered them in an hour. And he was like, oh. But I'll tell you this, what happens if I go to that person and say, hey, the milk, bread and eggs are all dollar cheaper. They'll go, yeah, let's go. Your rent is going down. Awesome. Homes are cheaper. That's good news. How do you do it? We steal energy from other countries. Yeah, so I'm hearing. You know when Matt Walsh says, if the United States is going to go to another country and take their resources for us, then good. And I'm seeing these people go, so you're saying that might makes.
A
Right?
B
Let me just stress this for everybody. Might makes. That's it. Right is not an equation. It doesn't matter. Your morality doesn't matter. When the barbarian kicks your door and burns down your house and steals your gold, you can complain all day and night about what was moral and what was unjust, but guess what? He did. The China will do it. I love this viral clip. I don't know if you guys saw it where a Venezuelan was like, to all the people claiming that they only went in and removed the Maduro for oil, what did you think China and Iran were doing in our country? It's all for the oil. I'm not justifying it or saying it's good. I'm making the point that a praying mantis will chop off the head of another bug to eat it. And we don't go, it's evil that. No, it's a bug preying upon something. You know, I was thinking about this in terms of. Someone was talking to me about the threats of violence and they said, you must get a lot of enemies in your line of work. And I thought about it for a second and I was like, you know, I don't really care for the phrase enemies, to be honest. I mean, I'm not trying to be naive or anything. My point is, if a grizzly bear is walking through the forest and wants me to maul me to death, do I call it my enemy? No, we don't refer to it that way. Grizzly bear is going to do. A grizzly bear does. Humans are going to do what humans do. And certainly I understand the distinction of what enemy means. A person targeting me. They don't like my ideology. My point is, in the grand scale of the world, everyone's gonna justify whatever they have to do to steal from everybody else. What we want on this planet is no more work. We don't want it. We wanna work that away. The point, I suppose, is we're not there.
D
Yeah.
B
We are not at a point where we can go to China and say, guys, please stop engaging in Warfare and illicit activities. Hey Venezuela, we tried this with sanctions. I believe that the United States is arguably one of the most noble when it comes to war, despite all of its failings. And people are gonna argue, how could you say that, Tim? We invaded Iraq and Afghanistan on lies.
A
Uh huh.
B
And everyone else does substantially worse. I'm not saying we are good. I'm saying the most noble. And that's a low bar. My point is, the first thing we did was we told Venezuela stop giving oil to Iran, who is funding terrorists who are bombing things, you know, in the Middle east and destabilizing the region. Now I can make the argument, why are we involved in the Middle East? Fine, everybody can. But the point is we first said, guys, please, no. They told us to go F ourselves. We told Iran, if you're, if you're going to do dirty things, we're going to sanction you. I think sanctions are a good thing. We don't want to go to war. We don't want boots on the ground. So we say, we're not going to buy and trade with you. I think that's fair. I got no obligation to buy from you or trade with you. And I should, I could say, everybody stop trading with them. We don't want war. So we're going to, we're going to do it this way. Well, Venezuela bypasses that. Sooner or later you have to say, I am willing to assert authority or I'm not. If the United States is going to allow Venezuela to allow Iran to come in and build bases, create a hub and China as well, and they're going to start selling mass amounts of oil to China to bypass our sanctions and our system and fund wars against us. It is not a simple. There's no reality, there's no zero sum game. Sooner or later China is going to make moves against us and they already are. And they do it every single day. And the question is, what are, what are our intentions? And my view is this. We don't want war. And we avoid at all costs, prepare for war. Because if you don't, China will take everything. Iran will take everything. So that's why when I see these people who are like, intervention is always bad no matter what, and I'm like, dude, sooner or later something happens whether you want it to or not, and you're in a fight. Okay, I gave the analogy earlier about your neighbor with guns. I've been in situations in Chicago. I don't go to my neighbor's house and say, I'm gonna fight you. No, but they're flinging dog crap on my lawn. Do I just sit there and say, well, I don't wanna fight, so I'm gonna let them do it? No, you say stop or else.
C
In fact, the French, right before World War II popped off when the Germans invaded Poland and took Poland. The French had about two weeks to invade Germany and attack. They declared war and they just sat there because there's still this hope of.
B
Like, maybe if we just appease, maybe they'll just stop, bro.
C
And there's a belligerent force on the move.
B
They don't just stop.
C
You can pray all you want, but at some point you need to stop the belligerence. Like, and that's, I'm not, this is not, I'm not like qualifying the Venezuelan shit because I don't know, it is like a bastion of defense for our Gulf of America, protecting the Panama Canal. And it removes the influence of the Chinese in Venezuela, which also helps. So not only you reduce.
B
Yeah, but, but, but, but it's as simple as this. Are these people opposed to this operation, literally of the mindset that never for any reason should we be involved in a conflict outside of our borders?
E
No, they're purely anti American. That's it. If America does it, America does.
C
Tucker Carlson there might.
E
Well, no, not, not Tucker Carlson.
B
I'm talking about the leftist. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's been critical of the actions in Venezuela.
A
Pretty sure.
B
Megan Kelly as well. Well, I, I don't think they hate America.
E
Yeah, no, no, like I said, the.
B
My point, My point is I don't want a war in Venezuela and I don't want destabilization. However, that's why I say I'm lukewarm on this. Because we didn't go to war. We removed the guy who was aggressing upon us in our backyard and allowing our adversaries to operate in our, in our hemisphere, in our region. I mean, at a certain point we have to say, guy, stop. Like, bro, if you keep throwing things at me, I'm gonna hit you. Okay? I don't want to hit you. This is, this is the self defense argument we always make on this show. You know, you don't go out and just shoot a guy who's pissing you off, but when they caught, like when they actually threaten your life, they are walking onto your property. I talk about this in terms of like West Virginia versus say New Jersey. New Jersey says if a guy breaks in your house, you can't defend yourself. Okay? That's insane. Now, don't get me wrong, if you told me you were gonna leave your house, walk to a neighbor's house because he was threatening you and then you're gonna shoot him, I would say, yeah, that you're gonna go to jail for that. But we're talking about with Venezuela, a guy aggressing upon us and we're calling the cops on him, basically. We didn't go to war, we didn't invade. We removed one guy because we tried sanctions and it didn't work. Again, I'm not saying it was the right move, and I think there are great risks here. I'm just saying this is not an easy circumstance like Afghanistan, where we can say sending thousands of troops for 20 years to this country made no sense. That's clear.
E
They specifically had DEA agents out. So that way it was, it could be, it could be argued that it was a law enforcement operation, but it's not about drugs. No, no, no, no, no. But that's the, that was, that was the pretense to get for the courts.
C
But yeah, that was exactly the weapons of mass destruction.
D
That's what all this is. And this is like what people need understand about Trump and like why Trump is a departure from previous administrations is because Trump is a foreign policy realist, fundamentally. Like, he tweeted back in 2012, he was talking about the Iraq War and he was like, why didn't we get the oil? That was his question. Because he accurately views the United States as an empire. We're kind of post Republic at this point. We are an empire. So if we're going to conduct these sort of foreign policy interventions, like, like Tim saying a lot of people in America aren't keeping up with the geopolitical ramifications. They're just wondering what's in it for.
B
Me, it's if it's good for the.
E
United States, it's good. That's, that's the reality.
C
Short term good might be a long term bad.
D
You never, you know, but beyond that, this is the important point regarding the Trump doctrine, is that he fundamentally views every single country at the negotiating table as self interested. And that is a massive departure from previous administrations or previous administrations. Like, we have these alliances, you know, enemies here, alliances here. There's an axis of evil. This Trump treats every country the same. He says they're looking out for their people, they're self interested. I'm going to behave self interested. I'm going to look out for the interest of Americans.
B
And that's a, that's what he should do. I feel like the actions of the Democratic Party over the past several years was a lesson intentionally done to teach people like me why we have intervention. That is Democrats willing to arrest Trump's lawyers in violation of the Constitution and the media willing to lie to cover it up. Makes me go, well, I guess if you're unwilling to defend your world and your views, people will aggress upon you in evil ways. And the realization there, I'm half kidding, obviously. My point is we've always known that evil people will do evil things. And the argument often made, which we've talked about to a great extent on this show, is if we don't, China will. If not China, somebody else, Russia will. So the question is, do you want to be under the boot of a Chinese unipolar power? No, we don't. Well, here's the reality guys, by all means I can talk about the real problems with regime change, war and intervention, and that is destabilization of regions which screws us over. Like the rise of ISIS was not good for our interests. Unless of course Obama was just doing it to screw with Syria and have a proxy war. But it looks like we continually, like the Mujahideen makes Al Qaeda. We get 9 11. If you want to make the argument, none of it. If you believe that 911 was an inside job, then perhaps maybe your argument is the US should stop and it'll all go away. I don't think so. I think if the US backs down and lets Maduro and the Venezuelans do whatever they want, China bypasses everything that we've done and the end result is this. It doesn't matter what you're for or against. The petrodollar falls and the American economy collapses. Now I'm not saying one thing is right or one thing is wrong. I'm asking you. What you want is an honest question. Do you like the economy in the United States? Now many people are gonna say no, it's bad. Okay. Do you want to get worse? Of course not. Well, the US economy is propped up on the petrodollar and the US stealing oil from other countries. And I'm saying that in a very crude manner. You want to get me? You want to get the specifics? The US enforces the petrodollar which makes other countries buy US dollars to buy oil. The contract with the Saudi's ended and Trump needs to restart that. If we don't have it, you will come to realize the US does not export enough to create a strong economy. And then you'll wonder why laptops cost $10,000. Your car will be 100 grand.
A
The thing is, like, the leftists are like, oh, Trump's a war criminal. This is war crimes and all that stuff. It's international law.
E
Well, honestly, international law is magic.
A
I don't really give a shit about international law. If you can't enforce the law, there is no law.
D
Who enforces international law? Oh, the United States. So where's the international law? We did.
A
It's legal, so who cares?
B
You know what I love is the idea of a war crime.
D
Yeah, right.
B
I love this because it's gentlemen on the battlefield agreeing not to kill each other in certain ways. The problem with the ideas of war crimes is it only constrains those who try to be noble.
D
Yes.
B
Now, I'm not saying people should commit war crimes. I know the left will misconstrue what I'm saying. My point is the United States takes very serious precautions against killing civilians. Not always. Obama doesn't get a lot of credit for that one. But our troops on the ground are constrained heavily when they can engage who they can engage with. The enemy, not so much. The enemy wants to blow onto a child and send the child to go blow you up.
D
Yeah.
B
So anyway, let's. Let's jump to this next portion.
C
Bombing of Dresden, like all those.
B
War is war, baby, and winning is winning.
E
Before we jump, I guess you don't bad for communists. It's good, period. If it's bad for communists, we should.
A
Be kidnapping a bunch of communists.
B
Guys, Guys, We've got this big story from cnn, and I want to first start by saying I have deep concerns about US Intervention in Venezuela, but I wholeheartedly support the invasion of Greenland. Trump threats stretch far and wide since his Venezuela strike. I'm kidding, by the way, but I'm sure that'll get taken out of context. Apparently Trump has passively threatened to take Greenland by force and Iran. And now you've got a bunch of mega people tweeting out or posting on X. Who's next? If we can remove a government in 90 minutes. Yeah.
E
It'S worth knowing. The 1 60th sore. The, basically the night stalkers, the guys that fly the choppers for the special Forces. They've been making a lot of moves to Europe right now, and I've read a lot of chatter that says that there's a lot of Special forces forces. Guys.
A
They flew to the uk Right, I saw.
E
Yeah, yeah, but I, I think that was just a jumping off.
B
We got Greenhouse next.
E
You're saying, I mean, maybe we got the hot hand.
D
It's like an NBA player. I'm going to keep shooting. Who wants next? Let's take out.
A
Go to a big hill in Greenland and then just make a snowball and then just let it come down and.
B
Blow our hot hand.
D
Let's take cas.
E
We're not going to. We're not going to.
A
All we have to do is place one flag in Greenland and they couldn't do.
B
Why everyone. Everyone here at Tim Cast is a neocon now. American exceptionalism spread democrat.
D
I apologize for everything. John Bolton, if you can hear me, please.
E
We're not good.
B
Listen. There's no listen.
E
Don't take Greenland. Take Denmark and you get Greenland.
D
It's a good Lego price down.
A
Yeah.
B
And I would love nothing more than to conquer Christiania, if you guys know what that is. No, you know what that is, right? I'm. I'm kidding.
C
All of Christendom.
B
All the like. No. It's a small portion of Copenhagen that claims to be separate from the eu. It's called a beachhead, they call it.
D
Yeah. It's so true.
B
They declared independence and like when you go there, I've been there several times and it's amazing. I'm kidding, by the way, about conquering them. It's just a great place and it's like good food.
D
Well, I'm not kidding.
A
We could go and take over the Islamic Republic of the United Kingdom and that'd be a great thing as well. I mean, just kidnapped. They call Stalin. They call him Keir. Stalin down.
D
Yeah.
B
My problem if. My problem with the US invasion of the Islamic Republic of the United Kingdom is that the war would create a lot of refugees. Yeah. I don't think the US can handle that many Islamic refugees coming.
A
The dentists would be in a lot of work though. We'd have a lot of dentists.
B
The braces manufacturing plants would. Would go through the roof.
A
It would be insane. We would be booming.
B
No businesses booming.
D
We don't have to worry about war brides.
B
You're actually. I got to counter you wrong.
A
They are chopped.
D
You're.
B
Well, actually, I don't know the kind. Like I don't know if Pakistani's teeth are good or bad or whatever. My point is at this point, if we were to invade the uk, we would get Muslim refugees.
A
Yeah.
B
We wouldn't be getting British refugees. It's disgusting.
C
My take on Greenland is that I know people are hyped up with like, with adrenaline right now. And it's like, look, the Sneak attack worked like. Okay, the Germans were able to take Poland fast and then they snuck attack France. We could take Greenland, but you better.
B
Believe the whole world.
C
That would change everything about the liberal economic order's view of the United States. It would not be good. I want the land. I'd love to go to Greenland. You know, you can go to Greenland.
B
It's not like off limits. Hold on, guys. I need to say I have deep concerns about the narco terrorists known as Jens Frederick Nielsen.
D
Oh, this guy's a problem.
A
I've heard they have a lot of snow down there.
B
So this narco terrorist, Jens Frederick Nielsen. Gotta go. We have no choice.
D
Yeah, apparently the polar bears are using coke.
A
Yeah, that's what I heard.
B
I mean, that's not a glacier. It's cocaine bear.
A
But it's polar bears.
D
It's insane.
B
Okay, hold on, guys. In case it is not clear, Jens Frederick Nielsen is not a narco terrorist. He's just the Prime Minister of Greenland. It's a joke.
A
So if.
C
If Trump took green. If Trump issued a military attack on Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark, that would start World War iii. It would, but it would get where it would.
A
It would.
C
China would take Taiwan, Russia.
E
No, no, no, no.
D
You know what would happen is Denmark would cut off the Ozempic supply and we'd get really fat and then they could take us.
B
I think China's not gonna make a move if we fight with ourselves. So Denmark is part of the Western power.
C
But let me finish this off. That. But it would give us an advantage in the war if we had Greenland. So it would be tactically sound if you were going to start world war.
B
Invading Denmark would not make World War III happen.
C
It just gives the. It is not the cashless Bella to China.
B
No, it doesn't think so.
D
China.
B
China has no interest in Denmark. No, no.
C
It's in taking something everyone will take. That's what happened with Mussolini.
B
China for war. Because within the Western powers we moved pieces around. Otherwise war would have started yesterday. Yeah, like there's conflict happening all over Europe. Europe and United States.
C
It's the seizure of territory. That kind of like makes it okay.
B
No, it doesn't.
D
China hasn't taken Taiwan because they can't yet. That's that they have the justification, so to speak. From the Chinese perspective, they take Taiwan, they just haven't done it yet.
B
They've claimed forever. The communists have said Taiwan is a part of China and they're just in rebellion. Yeah, so they've already claimed the casus belli they just can't do it.
A
Yeah.
B
So invading Denmark wouldn't change anything. We shouldn't invade Denmark. Okay, But I can say if Trump just sent a bunch of troops to Greenland, they can say whatever they want. I want to tell you guys, I've told this story before, but I'm going to say it again because we're all adults here. When I was young, I had a friend and I said, would you like to go skateboarding? And he said, I can't. I'm grounded. And I said, oh, what does that mean? And he goes, I can't go outside. And I'm like, oh, so what happens if you go outside? Well, I'll get grounded longer. Okay. And then what happens if you go outside again? My parents would ground me forever. And I'm like, I don't think you're following the logic here. Nothing is stopping you from going outside. My point is, if the US Marched into Greenland, Denmark would say a lot of things that would do literally nothing. They'd say, we're mad at you, the United States. And we'd say, okay, acknowledged.
D
They send in the Lego off and.
A
We can drop Lizzo on Greenland. It would be ours.
E
It's worth pointing out that lot of.
A
Damage and be like, we don't need.
B
To do any of that. We could literally just walk in, be like, it's ours. We're already there, guys. There's already a US Military base on Greenland.
D
They're sending in a mobilized dog sled unit. What do we do? It's like, the idea.
B
The idea.
E
The idea of taking Greenland. Like, we already have military personnel there. We are. Because Greenland is strategic. We monitor Russia from Greenland. It's not like we have to take it away. We're already present there. As.
B
As a total aside. Someone just commented, Lizzo lost half her body.
A
Literally. That's insane. Yeah.
D
And then as soon as Denmark cuts it off, she gets really big. It takes up all the.
A
Chris Christie. Let's just do Chris Christie. Chris Crispy.
D
Also, like, just. Just from a geopolitical perspective, all the US has to do is just threaten to, like, cut down our NATO funding. And then everyone else in NATO's be like, Denmark.
B
Just, you know. Hold on. I just think it actually would be really funny if. What's. What's the. What's the city in. In Greenland?
D
Nook.
B
Nook. Would it be really funny if, like, Marco Rubies came out and said, we've uncovered a fentanyl ring and bro, at this point? No.
E
He comes out with mittens on. You Know, like a big winter jacket.
B
My point is the Venice where they think clearly not about drugs. No, no, no, no. And it's very silly, like, to, like, to Rubio and the administration, guys, it's not 2003 anymore. Okay? You're not going to come out and be like, the drugs. Just tell us it's. No, I really.
E
But I do think that they're actually. I do think they're being more honest about it than anything else. Like the. They picked up. They picked up Maduro. That's the justification of drugs. But like Trump was saying, you know, it's about the oil, it's about the fact that they stole stuff. And there's one more point when it comes to Venezuela that I want to make, like, in living memory. This was a thriving country with a capitalist society. There are people that are in their 50s that remember what it was like. So it's far more likely that these people are going to be like, yeah, we want to go back to the way that it was, than to say, oh, we want to see another.
A
You know, it was the richest country in South America.
C
Yeah.
A
It was the rich and it has all the oil, all the gold.
D
That's like being the gayest guy in San Francisco.
C
That argument is what they'll say about Iran.
B
Yeah, but they were wealthy.
C
They'll say, the Iranians used to be so flourishing before the Shah was removed. So we have the same right as we did in Venezuela.
E
I didn't say that we have the same right. And I'm not making the point that. That Iran is the same thing as Venezuela. Venezuela and Iran are two very, very different populations. There is a large percentage of Iran that doesn't like the ayatollahs. There's a lot of people that consider themselves Persians. They don't consider themselves Iranians.
D
But.
E
And there's. They're having a massive civil unrest there now anyways. And I'm not saying that the US should go in, although it might be happening, considering what we talked about with the Sorg, with the 160th going over.
D
To Europe and real quick with the. With the. The narco terrorism thing. The reason, like, we know that this plan has been. Was hatched, like, five, six months ago, and it's been in development six, seven months ago. About six or seven months ago. So the reason, like, the reason they were laying this out and saying this is, like, purely about drugs is because they knew they were going to black bag Maduro and bring him to the southern district of New York. So you needed to have charges ready to go. You can't just charge him for being mean. That just doesn't stand up in court.
B
Because.
D
Because we've. We could try. We've seen. But because we've seen these courts, like, screw with.
B
You know, and it's worth.
E
It's also worth noting, look, the Biden administration put a $25 million bounty on his head. Joe Biden's administration.
C
Did Trump collect it? What did Trump get the.
A
What they should do?
E
And I said this.
A
I actually goes.
B
The Biden's like, I'd like my money.
E
Look, they should take that $25 million and they should give it to the guys that went in and got them.
A
True.
E
They should split it up among the Delta guys.
B
I'm going to say this. We should have Greenland.
D
I know. I understand why it's not ours.
B
I think it is the stupidest thing in the world that Trump goes like, maybe we'll.
E
We'll.
B
We'll buy Greenland or something. And the liberals are like, oh, no. Trump's an imperialist inventing. I'm like, what are you talking about? This is the history of all countries of our country. Now, if you want to argue that Trump going to Nook and just massacring civilians to seize territory is a bad thing, Agreed. But Trump negotiating terms, that brings Greenland into the American fold is a good.
C
Thing that I'm into. I'd love to buy it. I just don't know how well that would cost.
B
Like, it's not 45 bucks. That is not. We play cigarettes, too. I reject. I despise this. Did you guys know that West Virginia's constitution allows for any bordering Virginian county to join West Virginia? That's cool. Because when they were creating it, they were neighbors. And they said, if you decide in the future you want to join, you can. And I was talking to a guy in West Virginia about. He says, yeah, but Virginia would never allow it. And I says, why do we as Americans accept the idea that a despot 500 miles away can tell us how to live when the foundation of this country was telling a despot 3,000 miles away, he can't tell us how to live? If the people of Nook say, we don't want Denmark, we want America, then Denmark can shove it. The idea that the Danish are like, it's ours and you can't buy it, that's not up to you. If the 56,000 people in Greenland hold a legitimate vote and say, we don't want to be a part of your country, we want to Join the United States, then Denmark can shove it.
C
It is true. If that were real. But what they'll do is the CIA will send protesters over there, pay them the whole USAID thing to make it seem like a color they really want it.
B
Conspiracy, Ian. Next thing you're going to probably never happen. Israel attacked the USS Liberty.
C
Yeah. Like, it went after one of our ships. NSA spy ship in the. In the Mediterranean.
B
Clip is going to be taken out of context and they're going to claim that I was literally saying that there's no such thing.
D
I heard that Israel bombed a carnival ship.
C
What's going on? Greenland's prime minister, at least I read on Twitter four hours ago that he wants to parlay with the American government. He wants to make a deal of some sort. Whereas the king of Denmark is saying, no, stop. Greenland's ours.
B
I don't care what he has to say. I don't. Look, there's. In northern Colorado, there's a county that wants to leave because Colorado's oppressive. And I'm like, yeah, okay, well, you like, bro? If the city of Chicago voted to leave Illinois, I would say, okay.
C
So I'm wondering if the prime minister of Denmark or of Greenland is realizing the writings on the wall. Let's make a deal and get out of here. Let's. Let's leave and go to the US if he's going to no longer be the prime minister within the next couple of weeks, if the king's going to have him removed through the Governor General or whatever.
D
One thing we got to consider here too, is, like, Greenland is. This has been what the United States has been fighting against, like, since its inception is it's trying to buck the old world's order, like the way that the old world conducts themselves. And Greenland is really. The Danish inherited Greenland from their ancestors, from the Vikings who conquered all these territories and whatnot. And so it's like, the fact that they're even sovereign over it in the first place is hilarious because the society that conquered Greenland in the first place is no longer there. The Danish now are like, just metrosexuals.
A
In my point of view. I think Greenland was promised to us 250 years ago.
E
So never mind that we were running Greenland when the Nazis took Denmark.
B
How would you guys feel about what's. What's the. What's the yearly GDP of the United States? Like, what's. What's our spend? Like, 2 trillion. Right.
A
Question.
E
Yeah.
B
But what's our. What's our actual federal budget?
C
Probably get it from US debt clock.
D
6 trillion.
A
67 trillion.
D
67 trillion.
B
Really?
D
No, it's.
E
No, that's our.
B
The 6.
C
7 means strong or 6 billion.
B
Dude, I've been hanging out 6, 7.
C
Kevin.
E
And then 6.8 trillion.
B
$6.8 trillion GDP. I gotta. We are going to give every individual, including babies in Greenland, $1 million.
C
Yeah.
B
To join the United States. There's 56,000. It'll cost us 56 billion to give them a million bucks each.
A
Reminds me of that video of Donald Trump buying those. Those kids on the SNL skit. He's like, I'll buy your kids. We'll buy Greenland and your kids. They're gonna be ours.
E
If the US does that, you know, the calls for reparations are going to be going through the roof. People are po.
B
I'm in favor of. You know, I can't remember the dude we had on the show, but I was like, hey, I got an idea. We got all this land owned by the federal government, by the Bureau of Land Management. How about we divvy that up amongst the black population, descendant of slaves, and give you your mule? And he was like. He was an. He was a social justice. Social justice guy. And he goes, okay. And then I was like, hey, look, my attitude is the federal government shouldn't have it. The people have, and I don't care how the people get it. So if the argument is y' all want reparations, 40 acres and a mule, let's take it from the federal government. Because it's all this territory in the Rockies that's being held by the government that we can't have access.
E
40 acres in a Dodge Charger.
B
Oh, my gosh.
D
Let's think outside the box. Let's go. Liberia, 2.0. We move. Greenland. We make it like the black ethnostate. It'd be a great thing, I think. We literally have Wakanda stall flava flav as prime, actually. It'll be great.
B
Wakanda, is it Illinois, I think. Right.
A
It's like south of Chicago, I believe. Right.
B
I don't think it's south.
D
We rename Nook to Wakanda. It'll be great. Bet it's going to be great.
B
It's. It's. It's north, I think.
D
Oh, Wakanda. Oh, yeah.
B
We used to go to Wakanda all the time.
D
Know that?
B
It's funny when people are like, haha, Wakanda. I'm like, yeah, it's northern. It's near McHenry there.
D
Oh, my buddies.
B
North, northwest, Kanye West.
A
Will be the Black Panther.
D
Yeah.
B
People don't realize, but we're not joking. Wakanda is a suburb in northwest.
A
No way, dude.
E
Yeah, well, now we have to get their vibranium.
A
Yeah, vibranium is there 100%.
B
Very small underground. Anyway, I'm just saying Greenland is ours.
C
The issue with Denmark, just as little dinky country that controls this huge piece of land. Like, how. Why do they have that from 200 years ago? Well, the British own Australia. Should they also lose Australia?
B
Well, they.
C
The British own Canada, so they should they also lose Canada? Like, like Charles is the king of Canada. Should he lose Canada too?
B
Can we take Canada?
A
Technically?
B
You know what I love about the Commonwealth is that it is when you look it up, the people who live in Commonwealth countries are delusional. And Ian brought this up a long time ago, and you're correct that King Charles is the king of Canada. And he does have the authority to dissolve Parliament, just like he does in the uk. And however, although it's written down he can, whenever you ask someone from there, they go, he can't. And I'm like, now the question is, why do you think he can't? Because he can't. But it's written down that he can. The king of. Of England is also the king of Australia and Canada and New Zealand, all these Commonwealth countries. And it's written down he can. And you just say no, but he. He can.
E
Well, because I don't care who the king is. The Canada is the United States property. Like, whether they like it or not, they don't even have an army. Like, they have like 30. Something like 30 airplanes or something like that. They're not a real country.
D
The monarchy is like so cucked because it's like if Canada. If he's like, I'm dissolving parliament in Canada, like, whatever. The Canadian partners go, no, wait, how can he enforce that? There's no way the red coats are coming out.
B
So on this channel, I think we have like 2.6 something million subscribers. And I got the Tim cast news channels, like 1.9, almost 2. The original Tim Castle is about 1.5. I got 2.5 million on X. So if you add it all together with like Facebook and Instagram, you know, we did the math. It's around 10 million. Can we get out of 10 million people? Go fund me 60,000 people to move to Greenland.
D
Yeah.
B
And then vote to join the United States squatters.
A
Right?
B
We can, yeah.
A
I mean, I don't.
D
The answer is just send all the homeless from California there. It's like, guys, just hang out here when it's time to vote. Get clean long enough so you can make it to the polling.
A
We'll give you a little bit of crack money. You'll be fine.
C
I know the segment isn't about Canada, but we got to reform the conversation about Canada to make them, them want to join the US Instead of being a British puppet.
B
Well, the way you make them want to join is by subjugating them and telling them to say it. And it doesn't matter what they feel. It matters that they just say it. Ah, I don't want. I don't think so.
C
We've tried that the last two years. They got scared and then they were like, china, save us. But dude, you don't want to be a British puppet.
A
What?
C
You don't want a king?
B
Well, there are free people.
E
So it's better to be a Chinese, Chinese puppet.
C
I'm better to be an American free man.
B
Out. Well, in Canada, they call it something else because they have a king.
A
Well, I think it was like no dictators or something. Something.
B
It was something they changed. Like there's like no empire.
D
Because the reason Canada has a monarchy is not because they feel like this distinct connection to their Anglo history and they want to maintain that connection. It's because America Canadians are like the most insecure people on planet Earth because their society is pretty much identical to the United States in every way. If you look around the world, there's not two countries more culturally similar than the United States and Canada.
A
Well, it's changing now.
D
Well, it's changing obviously. It's becoming very Indian. But, but, but that's to that point is like because of that insecurity, they have to latch on to whatever does make them distinct from the United States. So the only reason they have the monarchy is purely out of spite. Like that's the reason why Canada's monarchy, like pro monarchy people are typically left wing. And then the anti. The pro republic people are typically right wing. That's not the case anywhere else on earth. But in Canada, they suddenly turn into these a trad with our Anglo history and blood. And it's like they just, they just hate America. And that's so gay. And we should take them for that.
B
Let's jump to this next story. Nick Shirley ended Tim Waltz. That's, that's, that's what we're hearing. Governor Tim Waltz has dropped out of the 2026 Minnesota Governor's race amid the criticism over handling of fraud. CBS CBS News reporting. I Wanted this opportunity in the new year to give a shout out to Barry Weiss for doing a tremendous job over at cbs. Because check this out. Here I am looking at CBS mainstream media news reporting overtly that fraud is a very real thing in their state. In the article about the ongoing Somali daycare fraud, they point out there's been arrests. You get all these news outlets like cnn. CNN ran an article saying the Somali, the Somali daycares operating in Minnesota are operating legally according to Minnesota investigators. And then CBS is like, since 2021, there's been 96 indictments over people from for fraud in these daycare centers. Why does the media lie so much? They are, you know, we can only make assumptions, but we know they do. Bari Weiss came into CBS and she's reforming it. There was that documentary on CCOT that she was like, nah, you're not publishing that. And then the journalist came out and lied and said that she was, you know, like basically glazing the Trump administration when the reality was they made a fake activist documentary that omitted statements from Seekot and the government and all they did was collect old statements and rehash them. Anyway, CBS doing a better job. Now Tim Waltz has dropped out and it is clear that the Somali fraud story that got something like 160 million views from Nick Shirley's documentary is the pressure as to why my opinion, the Democrats are in on the take. The reason why these liberals are running full speed to defend the Somali daycare fraud is because they know that they're benefiting from it. It is the micro level USAID scam. The state gives money to daycares and the daycares give money to politicians to run for office. And now it's under threat and it's going to be gutted. And so the liberals and their, their fake media are claiming it's all fake. Nothing to see here. But guess what? Tim Waltz is gone.
A
And even if they are operating legally, they're like babysitting their own children and other people's children that are from Somalia. So they come here and make a daycare for the Somalian community that just came here from Somalia. I have a problem with that. Yeah, like what are you talking about? All the kids have hijabs on and everything. It's like, that's not a real American day here.
B
The thing that Nick Shirley pointed out is, I'm going to say this. We don't know that every business he highlighted was committing fraud. But it is interesting. I will call it a preponderance of evidence that you have A building with like 15 medical centers with no customers. And when he went and asked for prices, they couldn't give him any. That is evidence of fraud. I'm not saying it's proof. I'm saying when you get a building full of all of the same business and no customers coming or going. I got questions.
D
Yeah.
A
And then one of them got broken into and all their documents are gone, so.
B
Wow, that's crazy.
D
Like, also you had the, like these like, libs and they were like. It's because it was Christmas. So of course they're all the kids, like, they're Muslim.
B
What's the. What do they celebrate in Islam?
D
They got like Ramadan.
B
Is that during.
A
That's not during the same.
D
They don't have like a competing holiday. The Jews, you know, released Hanukkah as a copy competition.
A
It's always is real mad. Right?
D
Yeah, but. But Muslims haven't come up with a cool holiday. Even you even have Kwanzaa. So I think the Muslims are developing maybe a Christmas competitor.
A
Yeah.
D
Because the market's expanding. There's a lot of them coming here, so they really need to like, go.
B
They don't celebrate Christmas or. Yeah, yeah.
D
Because all these other religions, like, we gotta. We gotta compete with Christmas. Everyone loves Christmas. We gotta go through that market share.
A
If they do come out with their own holiday, what they can do is strap bombs to the people and then.
B
Shoot them in the sky.
A
And those are the fireworks. Right.
D
So true.
A
Something they would enjoy doing.
D
Yeah, but yeah, to Tim's point also, like, probably some internal numbers came through. He's down in the polling. That'd be really embarrassing.
A
Oh, yeah, obviously he definitely. He definitely.
D
Because it's this weird situation Democrats are in where they actually have to be held accountable to some degree. Like the voters actually see stuff like this happening because this is not the first time anything like this has happened. This has been happening a lot over the last 10, 20, 30 years.
B
Yeah.
E
And you're seeing it all over the country too. Now. There are other people that have gone, done investigations and. And it seems like Elon Musk might have actually been right about the magnitude of fraud going on in the United States. He was talking about a Seattle, like.
B
In Seattle they apparently do. I just looked up Islamic holidays and there's laylat al raghab. December 22. It's a holiday, the Night of Wishes. It's an event celebrated by majority of Muslims at the Islamic world. December 22nd.
C
It's a cool name.
D
Yeah.
C
The Night of Wishes.
E
I don't wish Well, I don't want.
D
To celebrate that carrying a rug.
E
I celebrate Christmas.
B
Nick.
C
Shout out to Nick Shirley for doing the doc. But I wanted to give Nick some unsolicited advice. I saw you posted on Twitter. I ended Tim Waltz. That's ego. You're just a piece of a puzzle that's moving us towards transparency, which you're an amazing piece. But he inevitably would have stepped down if this stuff came to light. You did push the. Push the envelope. But don't feel like you're the one. You know, we're part of. Like if you believe in God, I think he was.
B
We're kind of. I'll say a few things. My first was it is true, but tone it down a little bit. You know what I mean? Like tweeting in all caps. I ended Tim Waltz is like little bragging. Well, you're right, and I'll give you credit for that because it is true. But be a little bit more magnanimous.
A
He's high prior now he's a year younger than me. I've been to. I had his back in Chicago. We were at a protest in Chicago. We had each other's backs going around there.
B
He's a good kid.
A
I mean, he doesn't grow.
B
I'm sorry.
D
If you scalp, he's got a little hype. If you scalp a governor, you can.
C
Self care glazing, I think.
D
You know what? Sometimes you got to hype yourself up.
A
Yeah.
C
Like that we stand on the shoulders of giants is an important thing to remember. And like some people, we couldn't do any of what we did if the people before us didn't kind of bring us up to where we started.
B
I take it back. Tweet it again. Gen Z needs to see this. I was saying this about Nick Shirley before when the video went viral. Like, Gen Z needs to know that success is the American dream is real. So true. Nick Shirley, 23 years old, took a camera, went around and filmed this thing and got 150 some odd million views. The president's talking about him. A governor just resigned from his race because of what Nick did. Nick, say it more. I want every young Gen Z guy to see Nick Shirley saying that. And I want y' all Gen Z guys to ask yourselves why you're not.
C
Doing this is a form of pride. And you know, pride in the right time and place is great. In Catholicism, it's a sin, but in America, it's like a national virtues. So you do want to be like, hey, everyone, I did this good thing.
D
Now look we just have.
C
Just don't get obsessed.
D
We just have mobs of zoomers filming daycares. I was getting arrested.
B
It's literally happening. Are you kidding?
A
Well, can't you film.
D
This is a daycare.
B
You got to go, Tate, have you seen. There's like, 70 videos of Gen Z men and women going to daycares and filming them.
D
Just filming.
B
They're going to these daycares with no kids in.
D
No, I agree. I know. I just love.
B
All these videos are going to go viral. Yeah, they're going to Ohio. They're going to Washington, bro. They're finding a lot of this fraud all over the place. I got to be honest. I do think it's fair to say to a great degree, this country is the fraudsters in politics, which include Democrats and Republicans and the hardworking rubes. There are. There are. There's a guy right now listening to this show. I see a bill. You just got home from work, you put on irl, you put in your full day's work, and you're wondering what you got to do to be able to feed your kids as the inflation is getting worse. You're the rube, we're the roof. You're doing the hard work and paying the taxes, and the scammers are defrauding everybody and taking our money for these schemes.
C
Did you see the people talking about not paying taxes this year? It was like a big movement. They're like this. The National Don't Pay Taxes movement. And it's like.
B
Yeah, but that's every. That's every year.
C
Okay, I'm not kidding.
B
I'm not kidding. Every year there's a group saying tax.
D
It's like storm area 50, 51. It's like everyone says it and signs up and no one actually does it.
B
Yeah, I can't even automatically deduct it for most people, literally. What are you going to do? You're going to be like, quitting my job?
C
But I think it's stemming from the frustration of being like, bro, I've been bankrupting myself paying you a third of my income, and now you're just letting billions go, like 20% of it. What the fuck? Like, are you. You want me to participate in this when you're doing this to me?
B
I get it.
C
I see where it's coming from. But at the same time, if we stop funding the system, everything will fall apart. So we really shouldn't do that.
D
I just love the idea. Just a dude outside of a daycare, like a pack digger, he's filming and they're like, sir, sir. And he's like, I'm getting rid of the governor.
C
Oh, also, I want to shout out Nick Shirley, who's like, james o' Keefe level status right now. And I love you. I love you, Nick. So thanks for. Thanks for doing what you're doing.
A
One of the daycares, it was super funny. The girl opens up the door and she has black eyed and, like, she has beat. Been beaten up wearing hijab. And she's like, oh, no, no daycare. I don't know what you're talking. Like they can't even speak English.
B
That was like a Latina accent, though, that you just did. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think they talk like that.
A
No, they talk a little more like Muhammad Jihad.
D
Yeah. Small X. Actually.
B
Actually, it would be the greatest thing ever if, like, someone went to one of these Somali daycares and the lady came out clearly like a Somali woman in hijab. And she's like, what can I do for you? Ain't nothing going on here. No, they're like, you know, And I'd be like, okay, she could stay. No, but with the Mexicans, it would.
A
Be like a lawn care business that they're defrauding with.
D
There's no mowers in here.
B
I'll tell you. I'll tell you guys what's the scariest thing about all of this is the daycare stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
It's. It's this. The daycare stories been out for a decade. We've known about the fraud. CBS, like I mentioned, already reported that there were like 96 indictments four or five years ago. So the question. So what Nick did was, you know what, you know, I love about this, and I. I don't. I don't want people to take this as, like a negative towards Nick. But there was a story we all knew about, and no one just went and filmed it. Like, the story's been around for years. And Nick was like, I'm gonna go film it. And it's kind of like you sit there and go, how come nobody did that?
A
It's true.
E
You can just do things.
B
You can just. And that's what the message I want Gen Z to understand is. You might be looking at a story right now. And everyone's like, oh, we all know about the fraud.
A
Yeah.
B
And then Nick decided, well, why don't I go and film it? No one did. There is opportunity for Gen Z guys for Gen Z ladies, you can just do these things. And you know what? People have asked me, like, how do you do news reporting? Like, I should travel around and do all this stuff. And I'm like, you just go. You literally just buy a plane ticket and go and be there and witness it and film it. And then people will ask you what you saw. You can do that.
C
I went to Occupy Wall Street. I was just like, I'm just going to go. I just got in my car and drove there. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. So if you, if something is going, go. If you, if you feel it, that pole even a little, go, go.
D
So true.
B
Yeah, let's. Let's jump to this story we got in the New York Post. Zoran Mamdani's new NYC tenant advocate called to seize private property and blasted home ownership as white supremacy. Yeah. There's a video going viral and it's very obvious what Zoran was going to do and what he wants to do. This woman thinks you shouldn't be allowed to own property.
E
Yep.
B
She thinks you're a white supremacist for owning property. You know, part of me just desperately wants the people of New York to experience this, but I also know that it won't stop there. So, yeah, we can't let it happen. I will also add the funniest thing about Zoran Mandani getting, you know, he's becoming mayor. They just raised the fares on buses.
A
Yeah.
B
Three bucks. Right when he got it went up 10 cents. So like right when he gets in, they increase the bus fares. Now everyone's saying, I see these viral tweets of like, Zoran just raised bus. No, he didn't. The bus fare plan was passed a long time ago. The increase in the cost was going to happen whether he got elected or not. But it is still funny that free bus. Mamdani gets in and then prices free.
D
I have a list, but I meant three. It's in Arabic and Uganda. That's how we say three.
B
Well, he's like, I'm from Brooklyn. You misheard me. I didn't say free. I said free. You know what I'm saying? Free.
D
So true. I don't know. Like with Zoron, I think one thing that's going to happen, this be a very unpopular take. And I'm saying this as an exiled New Yorker, very right wing. So I've skin in the game, so to speak. I think primarily what's going to be happening throughout the Zoron era is he's going to be rage baiting conservatives like as much as he possibly can. And I think the most consequential result of Zoran's New York City, so to speak, is just more vape shops open and the city just, the city just slowly gets worse. I think he is actually kind of part of the managed decline. My case for this is because New York City is actually driven by the city council. So you saw like Zoron rolled back all the Eric Adams executive orders. That's all he can really do from the mayor's office. Like most of this is going to be him rage baiting, him agitating, because he knows that if he can sort of become like a boogeyman for the right, so to speak, which it wouldn't really be a boogeyman because he is a legitimate threat that legitimizes him, that legitimizes him in the Democrat Democratic Party. And that is really what the attempt is. Because what Zoron's trying to do is he's trying to clear that pathway for democratic socialists in 28 and 32.
A
Look at the flags that are behind him.
D
So like, yeah, I'm not even as concerned about what Zorron is going to do to New York City. Like I said, I think he's primarily to be a rage baiter because what is he, what he's trying to do is catch all the flak from the right wing. So that way he can legitimize his ideology within the Democrat party. So then someone could become a governor, someone could even become president, you know, with the same ideology as him, because he swept the mind, so to speak.
E
What would you say to the idea that the left is actually moving to confiscate property? Because it's not just Mamdani's talk about, you know, people that own homes. There's the billion dollar or the billionaire tax that they're trying to do in, in California. And that essentially will say, look, your property is no longer your own. They're going to go ahead and start saying, look, if you own things, we're going to go ahead and, and do an audit and set a value. And so they, there's like, I think it's like there's 8 trillion or something like that that you can get out of the billionaires in the United States. But if you look at the middle class, it's something like $100 trillion worth of value you can get or something like that. It's something, some astronomical number. So this is really just a cover to get the policy started and then to go after the middle class. So the idea that it's going to take from the billionaires, that's just how it starts. And you can look at the income tax as evidence of that. It started at just the top 1% or it was just the top earners, and it was 1%. Now everybody pays 35, 40% of their income.
D
What Zoron's doing here is he's trying to turn himself into a martyr so he can become a rock star within the Democrat Party. So then a city councilman in Jacksonville that's a Democrat can now advocate for those policies because it's like, that's like Zoron's policies. That's. That's what's actually going on here. So the threat isn't even really to New York City. Like I said. I think the most consequential result of New York City, you know, in the Zoron era, so to speak, will just be like, yeah, like, I think what's going to happen is he is turning himself into a martyr, into this rock star so he can continue to drag the Democrat party to the left.
E
I think that. I think you're right that he's looking to drag the Democrat party to the left, but I don't think that it's. It's an unpopular position in the Democrat Party overall because someone like Ro Khanna was talking about the billionaire tax in California.
D
He's just legitimizing it.
E
Yeah. And because he's.
D
And the way to do that isn't by scoring electoral victories. The way to do that is to rage, bait the right to then be viewed as this rock star, to be viewed as a smarter. People on the right do that. People on the left do that. If you can draw the ire of the other party, then what's going to happen is people on the left are going to say, wow, they perceive this guy as a threat, while they perceive this guy as a viable threat to what they're trying to do, we should emulate.
E
But the point that I'm making is I don't. I'm not disputing your point. I think that it. But I do think that it's more broad than just Mandani. I think the Democrat Party is going to continue to push policies like this. I think they're going to say, look, it's. It's time for us to expropriate from the. The billionaire class. You see people talking about it all the time, say, people saying, oh, there shouldn't be Billionaires, we should take property.
B
From blah blah now.
E
And if you start that with billionaires, it's only, it'll be a decade before.
B
They'Re let me, I'm going to take you all boys back dime and talk about poker. So there's a lot of laws at the states that say you can't play poker with more than $10. Now when I talk to regular people about that, they're like, yeah, it's a fake law that was passed to make it basically say you can't play poker. No, no, no, no, no, you're wrong. When the law was passed, 10 bucks was a lot of money. So they were basically saying, guys, fine, you can play poker, but so long as you're not playing with a million dollars, you can play with 10,000. And for most people that's more than you'd need. Inflation happens and now 10 bucks certainly doesn't mean anything. The point is what's going to happen with New York is they are going to say the millionaires and the billionaires, guess what, you bought a house, 10 years later, it's worth a million dollars. You're a millionaire now and we're going to take your property because you're a millionaire. And you're like, wait, wait, hold on. I bought this property and it was like 300k and I was paying my mortgage off and inflation happened and the prices skyrocketed and now I own a million dollar home. And they're going to say, and you are being forced to sell it and we're going to take it from you. So the problem is, you know, it's funny, I was watching, I think it was like Seinfeld or something. And it's an old, like an early 90s. I'm watching a lot of something and someone goes like he makes six figures and they go six figures? Yeah, I remember when I was a kid someone making six figures was like, yeah, yeah, because upper middle in 1992, like 100,000 would be the equivalent of like 300k today or something like that.
E
You buy a Lamborghini or a Ferrari for 100 grand in like the early 90s. Now they're like half a million.
B
Let's let me, let me, let me look up 100k in 1992 to today because I think it's like double, right?
E
It's more than that.
B
More than that. 100,000 in 1992 is $231,000 today. So if you know somebody who makes 100K, you might be like, that's a good Salary. If you know someone's making 230, you're going like, man, you got extra money. That's what it was like back in the day. So what's gonna happen with all of this socialist commie policy BS? Is that inflation, bro? Guys, silver. Is that like 75 bucks? Yep. Holy crap. Let me pull this up.
E
Gold's 4307.
B
Oh my. Guys, it's the apocalypse. I'm not playing any games. I am meaningless. Totally. Silver at $76.77 terrifies me. And it peaked at 77 and 0.02. That's terrifying. Gold has sat around 20 bucks forever for decades and it's rapidly skyrocketing. Now don't get me wrong. AI computer, like AI machines, self driving cars. Silver is in high demand and people have been buying it. I'll just say this. We ran promos for silver. I'm not telling you what to do, but the people who bought it are certainly very happy. But my, oh my, it just jumped even higher. My concern with silver going up is just. It's the economy going down.
C
Yeah.
B
Buying power getting worse.
C
And then what they could do with. My concern, what they might be doing is prepping for a market crash where they're gonna put 80% of their resources into gold and silver. They're gonna double the value and then they're gonna crash the economy in half and maintain their wealth while everyone else loses.
E
Who's they?
A
Whoever's.
C
Whoever's instilling the market.
B
They're going to sell all of their silver at the peak. Oh yeah.
C
And then crash it.
B
Crash the market and then buy it all back.
C
And it's basically the guys that collude to own the majority or a silent majority of the market. Like BlackRock. I don't know who, I don't know who. I just imagine, I mean, you know, people are involved with deciding when the market's going to crash and when it's going to boom.
B
And have $77 right now, it just spiked.
C
That's the only time in my life I've ever seen gold and silver like almost triple in value in a year or double.
E
I mean part of that is because of the. Or a lot of it is like Tim was saying, it's because of the inflation. When I moved down to West Virginia, I first started doing, doing the show, I was buying a, you know, an ounce of silver for like 2200, 2100 dollars. You know, I mean, I'm sorry, ounce of gold. My bad.
B
I like we did these promos I had. I had that stack of silver coins, and I think I bought it for a couple. What was it, 400 bucks. And now it's worth, like 1500. That's. I know.
C
And it's a type of thing where it's like, I want to be rich, but at what cost? I don't want to hyper. Inflate the economy to. All of a sudden, I'm a rich guy.
E
Well, you're not getting rich.
B
That's the point. Well, the question is, what does being rich mean?
C
Yeah, exactly. Less about the value of money. I want to increase the value of money across the board so we can all kind of thrive.
B
I'm gonna tell you guys. Andrew Tate had a great point in his viral video where he said, if you know how much money you have, your pork. I like that. It's funny because it's true.
A
Yeah.
C
If you're checking your bank account, that means you don't have enough. Or you might think you don't have enough.
B
That's not the point. The point is that he has so many investments all over the place, he doesn't know where they are or what they are. He can't even check his bank account. He's like, I invested 10 million in some company somewhere that I own equity, and it's worth 10, 15 million, maybe more. I bought a bunch of properties. It's managed by somebody else. I don't even know what's in it. Okay, like, the point is, if you can open your bank account and look at the number that's. He says that's poor because rich people don't even know where their money's at.
D
Yeah.
C
At least have five bank accounts.
B
It's not about bank accounts, Ian.
C
I know.
B
It's about, like.
C
I think Andrew Tate. That's pilot error on his part. He should know how much money he's got.
B
You are. You're.
C
I mean, whose money is it if he doesn't know where it is, he might as well not have it.
B
You know, if Andrew Tate hires a wealth manager and says, here's $50 million, invest it. @ any given moment, he does not know how much money he has because the investments go up and.
C
Down. But the manager could rip him off and he wouldn't.
B
Know. Probably not possible. I don't think Charles Schwab is going to steal his money. I don't think the investment firm is going to steal his money that way. They could. The point is, if he wants to find out how much money he has, he has to schedule a meeting. Sit down Pull up the paperwork, go through the portfolio, start.
C
Calculating. Geez, it costs him time to find out how much. It's expensive to find out how much.
B
Money. Rich people don't even know how much money they have. The reason I bring this up is you're talking about, you know, wanting to be rich at what cost? And the question is, what does rich.
C
Mean? Yeah.
B
Exactly. At a certain threshold of having money, rich means I don't have to worry about the bills anymore. But rich people don't worry about the bills or even worry about their bank accounts. They lit. They're literally just like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna fly halfway on the road for fun. And if the money, like if you've got millions of dollars, just millions, $30,000 private jet, you're not going to notice that number going down, whether it goes up or.
C
Down. Oh, it's sort of like if I invest heavily in a company and then the government prints a trillion dollars and pumps that company and I make a million bucks. I'm not happy about that because they're destroying my economy to make me rich. That's not the kind of rich I want to.
B
Be. My broader point is being rich simply means you control people. That's.
E
It. Starting with yourself. You have the ability to say.
B
Sure, but my point is like, whatever I want. If you are as rich as Andrew Tate, what does that really mean? He can have anything he wants. He can. Look at Elon Musk. He's building starships to go to Mars. That's rich. Rich for Elon Musk. It means he can literally go to a person and be like, within. Within a person's moral boundaries, of course. But he can say, do a thing and I'll give you money. When you are. When you are truly wealthy, it means you have control over.
C
Systems. Yeah. And health people have mentioned you.
B
Can buy buildings, you can build spaceships, you can send rockets to the moon. If you are wealthy, you can go to 50,000 people and say, I want all of you to start building rocket ships to the moon. And they'll go, okay. That's what being rich means. Because my. Again, can Elon Musk eat the most delicious wagyu beef ever made? Of course. And that's like, the dude's worth $700 billion. How much money does he need to get a. The best wagyu steak money can buy a thousand bucks. That does. That's a rounding error for someone like Elon Musk. So at a certain point, buying things you want is a Meaningless term to a rich person. Elon could buy like seven.
C
Yachts. Yeah, I, like, I don't, I don't need them. They say wealth is like. Or someone has said it, or at least I thought it is. That it's a combination of having money, having resources, and being healthy. Like, if you're not healthy, it doesn't matter what your bank account says.
B
You can't go to the.
A
Moon.
C
Subject. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Well.
C
Wealth. Wealth is a different than rich. Like, rich means you have a lot of money. Wealthy means that you can actually spend.
B
It. No. Yeah, rich people don't spend money. Like, again, you know, I actually think I appreciate this conversation, Ian, because you're, you're exemplifying the. How the average person doesn't understand.
C
Wealth. Dude, no, wealth and rich are not the same thing. That's what my point is right.
B
Now. My point is you saying all of these things. You truly don't understand what it means to be.
C
Wealthy. Do you understand what it is to be happy? I mean, of course. Of course I know what it means to be wealthy. It's different than it means that people love you. You have a family, you have friends, and you're fucking.
B
Loaded. That's wealth. So my point is a wealthy individual doesn't think about money at all. They don't go to a restaurant and say, how much does it cost? You want to know if you're at a, if you're at a high end restaurant, there's no prices on the menu. And so you go to the. You know, I can't say. These steakhouses that pretend to be fancy, they have dress codes. That's not a real. That's not it. You go to a steakhouse and they hand you a menu. You can wear whatever you want as long as you don't smell bad. They hand you a menu with no prices on it. That's how you know you're where rich people eat. I went, went to a restaurant that looked like an old mansion. And the room they served us in was a. Was a study is the weirdest thing. And the menus didn't have prices on them because rich people don't care. They don't even think you could tell them the steak's a thousand dollars. And they're like, I didn't ask.
C
Dude. It would take more energy to calculate the cost than it's worth. Like, it would wear you out to the point where I can't make that extra 700,000 later because I'm tired from thinking about the price. I don't even think about.
B
It. So that's like someone like Elon Musk. When he goes to buy equipment, I doubt, you know, obviously someone who's building a spaceship, he's like, what's the total cost of building a ship? Oh, it's going to be like 33 million. That's a number he's going to look at. If he, if he needs to buy a laptop, he doesn't ask him how much, he doesn't make a budget. He literally just says, give me the best of everything. And the amount of money it costs him, he doesn't even.
C
Notice. I think that wealth also, you start to think in terms of percentages instead of dollar values. Like what. What percentage of my wealth can I expend to gain how much more percentage.
B
Growth? Yes. But also understand this. Rich people don't spend money. My point is, if Elon Musk buys a mansion, he's losing nothing. If you rent, you're losing money. Working class people and people of modest means, not even poor people, spend money and it's gone. Rich people spend money and they keep it and get more for it. If Elon Musk says, I'm going to buy the biggest mansion in Hollywood, he keeps every, every penny he spent. And then a year later, the values increased and he only made more money by buying something. There is a level at which you buy things and you get more for it. Whereas for poor people, you buy a car, the value goes down, you lost money, you buy a cheeseburger, the money's gone forever. You pay your rent, the money's gone forever. You buy a house, you're paying fees to a bank, it's gone forever. Rich people never spend, they're only.
C
Investing. I tweeted out earlier, I'm less concerned with making money and more concerned with increasing the value of money. Because it's very like this goes back to now, you're a millionaire because of inflation. Now you're going to be taxed like.
E
That. Like, what is it that you're doing to increase the value of.
C
Money? Like, reduce the costs across the globe, reduce the cost of roads, reduce the stress on roads by making them last longer, or reduce the cost of doing.
B
Under.
D
Under. Inflation.
B
Takes. The value of things is predicated upon the willingness of another individual to provide service. Service, labor or resources. The problem with the liberal argument of raising the minimum wage is that you're still in the same position of. Ian, ask me to sweep the.
C
Floors, please sweep the floors. Tim, can you, can.
B
You. No, you have to pay me more money than is imaginable Because I don't have time for that. I'm busy. So if you want Tim Pool to come in and sweep your floors, there's a number. To be honest, for someone like me, there probably isn't because I'm wealthy and.
C
Successful. What if the floor is.
B
Filthy? There, there, there. I will sweep the floor. If my floor is dirty and I want it swept. My point is, when you increase the minimum wage, nothing has changed. Money.
C
Represents. In that sense, the term millionaire billionaire is almost like a red herring. Like we. We probably.
B
Should. See, what I'm saying is, the better question to ask on minimum wage stuff is, excuse me, sir random guy, I need you to clean the floors of my building and I will pay you. When he says, how much will you pay me? He's not actually concerned about the number of dollars. The underlying principle is, what can I get for my labor? So when the Democrats are like, increase the minimum wage, nothing will change. Now an individual might say, that sounds great, because if I had 15 instead of $10, I could buy an extra cheeseburger. The problem, the man who makes the cheeseburger still wants the same amount of time and energy for his work. The dollar value is meaningless. That so when we talk about having money and spending it and making money more valuable. When you mention we should cut costs and make money more valuable. If you do that across the board, it's meaningless. The amount of labor an individual requires of you will stay the.
C
Same. Except on the international scale. It makes the US dollar more competitive.
B
Globally. If the US if the US economy improves or foreign economies tank, then, yeah, we can convince people to work for cheap. That's always it, right? So we go to countries that are poor and say, we'll pay you dirt to do it because it's the best you're going to get. So yeah, the issue of wealth and the main point of this conversation, especially with like the silver stuff, and we got off on a tangent because the silver is freaky, is rich people. What does it mean to be wealthy? It means you have control of other people. That's means you want a building. You want a giant warehouse with a skate park in it. Can you convince someone to do that work? What do you have to do to tell a guy something so that he will start building something for.
C
You? Yeah, because money alone can't get it done. If they hate you, they'll seize your bank.
B
Account. Like, it's not just that. If you.
D
Are.
B
What? There was some TV show, what was that movie where the football guy knocks the guy over and kills the sick kid. You didn't see this.
C
One?
B
No. There's a football player. I think he's a football player. And he's like, a dick. And a guy is like, my kid's a big fan. He has cancer. And then the guy tells him to F off, shoves him. He falls. And then they're like, you're off the team. He was a big shot. Thought he was all rich, but everyone hates him. I can't remember. I don't know. The chat probably knows. The point is, if everyone hates you, no amount of money is going to help you. You're going to be like, I'll pay you $1,000 to build a chicken coop. And they go, no, screw you. And you'll be like, 2000. No, I said, screw you. If they don't let you into their business. You can't buy the coffee from a. Money doesn't matter. The point is, Elon Musk has so much money, he can literally just. I mean, bro, the dude can get some of those. I got to be honest, Phil. Is there a number by which Elon Musk could pay you to put on a tutu and do. And do, like, a ballerina dance in the middle of Times Square for a.
D
Week? You guys are getting.
E
Paid. It's a big number. It's a big.
B
Number. What if it was like, I'll give you a billion.
E
Dollars. A billion dollars? Oh, yeah.
D
Probably.
B
Yeah. My point is not that it's an easy thing to do, because they'd be like, what market value is in this? My point is, Elon can get a lot of people to do a lot of things. You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, yeah. That's wealth. Wealth is Elon being like, I want Tim Pool to clean the floors of my bathroom. And I'm gonna be like, well, I don't need to, because I'm already rich. Do you have a billion dollars? I'd be like, I gotta be honest, Elon. For a billion bucks, take an hour. I'll use a toothbrush. There are certain things obviously money can't buy. Cleaning a bathroom is the easy thing that's considered degrading to a lot of people, but not amoral. Like, I wouldn't do something illegal or evil, but Elon could very easily make people do evil things because he has so much.
D
Money. Dude, if I had his money, I'd be, like, covering, like, country countries in peanut butter and stuff.
A
Crazy. I would drop deodorant on.
E
India. The point of the. Kind of the Point of this whole thing is once you have a certain, certain amount of money, then your money is going to make money to the point where you could never spend what you've made. You know, like, oh, yeah, like.
B
There'S no reality where Elon's ever.
E
Poor.
B
No. You know, you know, because, like, and I mean this. Imagine the US Government says, we're going to seize all your assets. China goes, we'll give you anything you want. Because he's, he's, he's, he's. Because of his ability. They're going to, like, any other rival nation will be like, anyone. They're going to compete for him. They're going to be like, we want you to build rockets for us instead. That's nothing you know.
D
About. Elon could just buy three or four meals on an airport and be bankrupt. Yeah, true, dude. That's. That's where you get.
B
Suckered. $300 billion. Sandwiches at the airport, getting close.
D
By a bottle of.
A
Water. You go down to Nashville and you buy a beer, you're.
D
Broke. Yeah, it's.
B
Over. I went to. I was at an airport once and I went to like. But they have one of those sandwich, like those, like, deli coolers where you can get drinks and sandwiches all pre made. And I grabbed a sandwich and I put it on the counter with like an unsweet tea. And the lady looks at me and she goes, that. The clerk, like, the employee, she goes, that's $10. And I was like, okay. And I pull out my card and she goes, no, that's. That's $10. And then I was like, okay. She's like, I'm just letting you know. I'm like, do you want me to get to, like, the employee herself was shocked and needed to let me know how terrifying it was. The sandwich was.
D
$10?
B
Yeah. Like, that's airport. That's airport.
D
Purchasing. It's.
A
Ridiculous. It's like 20 bucks for. On an airplane. It's like 20 bucks for two.
D
Shooters. Literally. I'm like, you order? Did I just get.
B
Robbed?

He says, hey, Lance, how did those two loses to the Black losses to the Blackhawks.
A
Feel? Two losses? Yeah. Well, I'm confused on what's Dallas.
B
Stars.
A
Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, we're a really good team. We have the most competitive teams that are in our area. So. Yeah, I've seen the Blackhawks lose to the Dallas Stars in person before, so I wouldn't be talking. All.
D
Right. I think I love about the NHL is like half of the teams are Canadian and they haven't won a Stanley cup in like Four.
A
Years. Yeah, right. We call them the Black Cox down in Dallas. Let's.
C
Go. Yeah, I love the Blackhawks in the 90s. Big Jeremy Roenick fan. I played a lot of NHL.
B
93, NHL 94, Blackhawks back in the.
D
90S. Yeah, a.
A
Little. You had a little weird pastor. Oh, what's going.
D
On? I like the Blackhawks over.
B
Vietnam. All right, we got our sergeant. It says, I'm super curious why lefties so often happen upon opportunities to do real damage and fall short almost every time. I am very scared because the effective ones we see really ain't.
A
Done.
B
Ish. And yet, I mean, we had like a bunch of Christian school kids murdered by a trans person. We had two attempts on Donald Trump. Charlie Kirk is dead. They've done a lot of damage. I mean, you had the murder of Aaron Danielson. Yeah, it's. It's pretty.
A
Scary.
B
The. The point is, you don't see the other way around. Liberals aren't being shot and killed. Yeah, I don't want them to be. We.
A
Don'T.
B
Good. The point is it's liberals doing it that's the problem. Or I shouldn't say liberals, but like left aligned political people. All right, let's see. Pims the great says, hey, Tim and crew, been a fan since the Kavanaugh hearings. And see every video in reference to your morning segment. When someone tries to introduce you to their wireless hole puncher, you reciprocate. Indeed. Now, be wary about which state you are in, but the point is, you are legally allowed in almost every jurisdiction to defend yourself if someone is shooting at you. That, I think is fairly obvious. All right, Acid Floyd says more dictators need to be delta. For the meme industry alone, it's been comedy gold. I get more entertainment from three hours of Maduro memes than Marvel Blockbuster.
C
Movies. It's.
D
True. So.
B
True. You know, and I will add this. Did you guys hear that? Marvel, the Avengers doomsday movie is basically erasing the last six years of.
A
Marvel. Good. I'm done with all that.
B
Crap. Well, the. The point is, like, they went woke right before Endgame with Captain Marvel. That's when all the activists started tainting everything. And so they get Captain Marvel and Endgame. And Endgame had that really cringe moment where Thanos headbutts Captain Marvel and she doesn't flinch. And the audience groaned in my theater. From there, they've done a whole bunch of dejected, weird garbage that made no.
A
Sense. Even in the. The other scene in Endgame where, like, Peter Parker literally spider man gets saved by all the woman, and they're like, just walking in slope. It's like, oh, are you shitting me? Like, really? We doing this right.
B
Now? So what happened is apparently Marvel is the new Avengers movie next year or end of the end of this year is a sequel to Endgame. Yeah. They're basically largely ignoring all of the stuff they've done. And the reason why is the last universally seen Marvel movie was End.
A
Game. Yeah. So they realized no way Home too. That was probably the.
B
Last. Last.
A
Maybe. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Most. Most people aren't watching any of their stuff and they hate it all. And it was weird, activisty garbage. So now they're basically, let's go back in time and erase everything and start from.
E
Scratch. Let's see him do.
D
That. The villains just wait for Captain Marvel to get.
A
Pregnant. Yeah, right. That Muslim one, too. What's her name? She's like, I'm a Muslim and.
B
Whatever. Oh, yeah, it's Ms.
A
Marvel. Yeah. Ms. Marvel there's a Muslim. She's a mother. She's. Yeah, yeah, Ms. Marvel. It's.
B
Ridiculous. The problem is the actual Ms. Marvel character. She can grow and shrink. She's kind of like Mr. Fantastic. And then in the Marvel show, they're like, it's kind of whack. So she can just like, project hard.
A
Light. Yeah, it.
B
Was. So she technically grows, but she just makes.
A
Like.
B
Yeah. Stones or.
E
Something. It's just.
A
Jubilee.
B
Ridiculous. No, Jubilee was way better than that. She could. She could split.
E
Atoms. Oh, that's what it.
C
Was.
B
Particles. And no, Jubilee's power was she could cause atomic fission and it manifested in explosions, so she could shoot atomic explosions at.
C
You. That was.
B
Cool. She's kind of like.
C
Gambit. Similar to.
E
Gambit.
C
Gambit. Gambit could charge and.
B
Blow. Yeah, Grammit, Gambit's.
C
Crazy. Here's my.
B
Favorite. In the 90s, he just uses.
A
Cards as the conduit for it. It's, like, so.
B
Slick. But they've done cool stuff with. With Gambit's powers in Marvel.
C
Comics. Oh, he's so.
B
Good. We'll see if they can get back on track, that's for sure. Let's grab some more of these. These rants. WD Production says welcome back. Missed.
A
Y'.
B
All. Crazy start to the year. Can I get a shout out for Heroes Never Alone? And my book on Amazon, Arm wrestling roulette shout out. Thanks for the rumble rant, brother. Jay Dirtbiker says the biggest W is oil in our hemisphere will no longer be going to power the war machine of our Adversaries. This is America first. Good riddance. This is bro. The amount of people that are pro America conservative who are like, you know what? I've changed my mind. We shouldn't be doing anything about Venezuela is kind of.
A
Shocking.
C
Yeah. Because if Trump had been like, we should not invade Venezuela, those same people very well could be like, yeah, we should not invade Venezuela. I'm all.
B
In. They'd be like, bro. They'd be. If Trump came out and said, no, we're not going to do anything about Maduro, all the Democrats would be like, oh, Trump is weak. Letting Maduro run rampant. Trump's only mistake with the Venezuela thing was when the planes were about to enter Venezuelan airspace, he should have tweeted out, maduro needs to be left alone. Venezuela's its own country. And then all the Democrats would come out and be like, I can't believe he would let this happen. And then an hour later be like, okay, we got.
D
Him.
B
Yeah. And then they'd be like, yeah.
D
They always accuse him of cozying up to, like, despots. And then when he actually bombs on, then they have this, like, sudden problem with no kings. And then also, like, something else is. This is like a direct economic hit to Russia and Iran because. And it's. It's. It's. It's indirect because when you drop oil prices, when you flood the global economy with Venezuelan oil, all that's going to do is drive the price of oil down. What is Russia's primary export oil? What is.
A
Iran?
D
Oil. So these two countries that are completely dependent on oil in many ways are now going to not be. They're going to play ball with whatever the global oil price is, and it's going to completely crush.
B
Them. David Flora says Benny Johnson tweeted about not paying taxes. Did he.
A
Really? Few.
C
People. I think Savannah Hernandez.
A
Did.
E
Yeah. A lot of people.
D
Are. A lot of people aren't. And then there's gonna be some people online that take these people at their word, and then they won't pay their taxes and they're gonna get.
A
Arrested. See, I would love to pay my taxes if we start kidnapping more.
D
Communists. Yeah.
A
Yeah. I'll be like, yeah, here's my money. Go take out freaking Zoran Mandami next. Go, go, go. Kidnap him. No, I'm kidding, I'm.
B
Kidding. When was this, like, trend on the. On the tax? Benny being a wealthy individual, I can't imagine him not paying taxes. Yeah, like, you're the first target. I think it was, like, a.
C
Week and a half ago or A week.
D
Ago. What's the strategies? Like we finally got like our guy and the president presidential office. Let's just like starve.
A
Him. Yeah, that's pretty dumb.
B
Actually. No, I understand like the problems of all the fraud going on and the war and all the bs. Like, like, I don't mean the war. I mean like war, bs. Our money is being taken and is fraudulently given away to garbage. But like, I don't think the solution is to go to prison, you know, I mean like, yeah.
D
Literally. Or just remove yourself from the, like the.
C
Table. And it's not the solution to destroy the world either. Like destroy the United States because you hate it so much by, by defunding it. Like that's also not, It's. We're supposed to have redress of grievances which we've sort of lost, which is.
B
Unfortunate. We have courts and we go through the courts all the time.
C
Yeah. But as people, when your government is doing, you know, bowing to the corporations whims instead of the people's whims, 95 plus percent of the time, I understand the.
E
Frustration. Every, every single, every single case that the Supreme Court hears that they've, you know, hear in favor of the, or decide in favor of the, the person, the civilian or whatever, like that's the people using the court system for regress.
D
Agreements. Yeah. So I just want to say to the audience, please pay your taxes. If you're watching the show, you're a smart person, we do not want you going to jail. We need you in the fight. This don't larp. Larping gets people.
B
Killed. Yeah. The idea that like every Trump supporter, like, like not every, but they're all like this big movement among conservatives being like, we're not going to pay our taxes. And then next year it's like 17,833 conservatives arrested, put in.
D
Prison. None of the commentators, I think.
C
Only a couple months ago was like, I think I want to get rid of income tax and we'll pay for it with the tariffs. And so people are probably like kind of hoping that it's actually going to happen. And he's given them some, maybe.
B
Some what if Trump just came out like on April 14th and was like no taxes by executive order. Just if you already filed, you're getting your money back and refunds for.
C
Everybody. Just this year we'll rename 2025 to Trump. It's the 24.
B
Trump. I think Trump should, I think in the, in October, all the Republicans should come out and say we're Abolishing the income tax. And Trump should come out and say, vote for Republicans and there will be no income tax. Democrats will be like, they're lying. And Republicans would be like, no, we're not. And people are gonna be like, I'm voting for them. I gotta be honest. They're probably lying. But here's your choice. Vote Democrat, vote Republican. Republicans are claiming they're gonna go to taxes. Are they gonna. Probably not. But hey, I'll buy that lottery ticket. Right? Wouldn't.
C
You? I don't want the regime that was in power in 2020 to get back into power. I do not want them to.
B
Undo. I.
C
Agree. Yeah. I would be down to see the Republican Party lie to people to get elected again. At this point. I.
B
Can'T. My point is they shouldn't lie. I'm saying I wouldn't trust them if they claimed they were gonna get rid of income tax. Like Trump has said this. My point is if it's a lottery tickets chance, they would. I'll buy that lottery ticket. Yep. If there is a.00002% chance the problems would actually get rid of it and there's a zero percent chance Democrat, Democrats would. I'd vote.
C
Republican. I'm sort of almost desperate about. I think World War 3 is about to start. I don't know why, but I'm feeling this like, oh God. And people are smiling and dancing about taking Greenland and that if the Democrats were in power, we would lose the war. So I. And that's not just the Democrats, but someone like Joe Biden or Kamala, like, no, no, no, no. Trump and Pete Hegseth are at least warrior minded, especially Hagseth. So he terrifies the globe. You need that.
B
Force. Let's grab some super chats. We got Wolf. He says, hey, Tim, if you've been keeping up with Skybrows, the guy who did the Elon Musk and Joe Rogan song last few videos, they're fantastic. I've listened to Cream of the slop like 100 times. We'll, we'll check it out in the uncensored portion of the show. But for those that are not familiar, there's a song called Elon's Musk on, on, on YouTube by Skybrowse. It's amazing. It's a Grok. AI made music video with like a synthwave song, I.
A
Guess.
B
Yeah. And it's, it's really good. I like it a.
A
Lot. I've never heard of.
C
It. It's.
B
Long. It's real.
C
Good. After about three Minutes, three and a half, four.
A
Minutes.
C
Yeah. I'm like, I've heard it after about three minutes. Because there's. I don't think there's three parts. Are there three parts? We gotta listen to it.
D
Again. And now.
B
Bro. But the lyrics are just so good. Yeah. And then I'm in Joe's.
C
Rogaine.
B
Yeah. Like, there's a. There's an AI cameo from us at the Stim Cast.
C
Studio.
B
And.
C
Yeah. Oh, the song is called Joe's Rogaine.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. Elon's musk and Joe's.
A
Rogaine.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Cream of the slop. I don't know what that is. All right. Jay's index says Tim. Oh. Jason Dix says Tim. While in Florida. Make sure you adhere to the Florida law, the Waffle House hurricane code. It's a thing. If Waffle House closes down, you.
C
Got to go get out of.
B
Town. Yeah, if. Yeah, right. So when they. I was here like 10 years ago, maybe it was my 10. No, it was a little bit over 10 years ago when there was like a hurricane scare. And I don't think the Waffle House has closed.
D
Down. Oh.
B
Wow. And so I was like, I guess I'm gonna be here for a hurricane. And so I got a hotel. And then the hurricane actually started to turn and went the other way. They.
C
Knew. So it's Waffle House causing the.
A
Hurricane. Waffle House controls the weather.
D
Yeah. Like FEMA themselves uses the Waffle House.
A
Index.
B
Those. Those tunnels in New York that they were building connect Waffle Houses.
A
Together. Oh, that's true. That could be.
B
Connected. That's right. That mattress stain. Someone spelled a Waffle House. That's.
C
True. A guy from Waffle House crap the.
B
Bed. Remember that story? They were like, why is the mattress stained? And why was it.
D
Underground? Yeah, well, it's like every time you see a video of Hasidic Jews, they're always freaking.
B
Out.
C
Yeah.
D
Yeah. Like, I don't know what's going on. But, like, every time I've seen. Seen a video, there's always just chaos. Like, they're running around. You ever see the videos of them running across the street during the marathon? Like, they're just always freaking out. Yeah, that was like. That was one of the best videos I've ever.
B
Seen. Wait, what's this unit? Unit glue says demon and portal spotted at AM Fest 2025 on the background screen. It's on the eight hour vid at three hours and 43 minutes and 42nd, just before Britney Aldean goes on stage. You want to look that up? Was that now 8 hour turning point video. AM Fest video. Which day is it? Yeah. I don't know. He didn't.
D
Say. Imagine the graphics say which.
B
Day. Look up Brittany.
A
Aldean. Yeah, look up.
D
Brittany. The graphics guys, I highly doubt, by the way, we're gonna do demon portal this.
A
Year. That's.
D
Insane. Get working on that for us. It's like, isn't that a little on the nose? It's like, yeah, but it's like an Easter egg. It's gonna be.
A
Fun. Yeah. I used to work for Turning Point. They did.
B
Not. It's an actual demon.
D
Portal.
A
Yeah. Believe it or not, there's no.
B
Way. Did you find the Brittany.
E
Aldean. I'm looking, I'm.
B
Looking. I'm doing the eight hour. See, buddy, you got to be more specific. You got to tell us the name of the video so we can search for it.
C
Otherwise. Yeah, Concision helps a lot with super.
B
Chats. We'll pull it up for the uncensored portion of the.
A
Show.
D
Wow. Great.
A
People. I love the white.
D
Monster. I've always loved.
A
The. They call me the white.
D
Monster. You Earthens a lot of.
B
Oil.
D
Wow. We're gonna.
B
Take.
A
We. I heard they're in a.
B
Snow. We got a story for the uncensored portion of the show that I can't even mention. I can only passively mention. And I have to tell you guys not to talk about it. We're gonna save it for the uncensored. But there's a viral video from a bathroom. Have you seen it? No, No, I don't think so. There's a trans person in a bathroom.
A
No. Oh.
C
Yes. I did surge. Apparently.
B
We. We can't talk about what the video is, but it is.
C
Horrifying. I'm so amped.
B
And. But because people don't believe this stuff happens. But she filmed.
A
It. I saw the shadow. Oh.
B
Yeah. Right, right, right. We'll just. We'll save it for the uncensored, because it's really. What I was gonna say is that Phil.
A
Is. Phil is saying there's no Greenland, because that's actually Agartha. That's what he's.
D
Talking. I've.
A
Heard. That's what I.
B
Heard. No, guys. The ice wall. The Earth is in a flat. The ice wall keeps the inner continents trapped. Yeah, because Tartarian Atlantis, the greater, more advanced humans use as.
A
Slaves. Yeah, it's true. I mean, there has to be a portal outside the ice wall through.
B
Greenland. Portal. Just fly over the ice.
D
Wall. We find these soup. We Go to the Turning Point AM Fest next year. Go through the portal to meet these super advanced humans. They're just.
B
Koreans. Have you guys. Haven't you guys seen Attack on.
A
Titan?
D
No.
B
Cultured. We're basically Attack on.
D
Titan.
B
Really? Yeah. It's basically in the show. They think the world ended because gigantic humanoid Titan monsters took everything over and killed everybody. But it actually turns out they're on an isolated island where they're trapped there and the rest of the.
C
World. That's like.
A
The.
D
The. Oh, that's.
A
Wild. What is.
C
It? The Forest. That M. Night Shyamalan movie. I love that. Where you find out later, like, oh, yeah, it was all messed.
A
Up. Yeah, I've seen.
B
That. That guy doesn't know how to make a movie without a twist in it. I think it was called He Can't Make a Regular.
A
Movie. Some of. Some of his movies are good.
C
Though. The Village. The.
B
Village. That's what it's called. I mean, all of his movies are bad. Name a good M. Night.
C
Shyamalan. I thought the Village was good. That was Bryce Howard. That was the first time I saw her in a movie. She was.
B
Great. I thought her performance six Sense was, like, really good. And then every movie has just.
E
Collapsed. I like. I like science. Because of Mel.
D
Gibson. Size 7.
B
Cents. The 7.
D
Cent. 6 or.
A
6?
D
7. I don't remember what the name of the.
B
Movie. Do you know how many senses humans have? I don't know. At least.
D
Correct. Gosh, I knew I was getting set.
B
Up. It was. It's always the funniest thing that people say. Like someone just told them we have five senses, and everyone just.
C
Agrees. I know. It's so.
D
Basic. Awesome. Such a sheep you.
C
Have. So you can sense so many more frequencies than what you think you.
B
Can. I'm not talking about frequencies. I'm talking about. About.
C
Balance. What about.
D
Balance?
B
Huh? I'm talking about temperature.
E
Temperature.
B
Oh. Humans have touch, smell, see, hear, and taste, right? And they said those are the five senses. We can also sense balance. We can level ourselves out. We can also sense temperature variance. That's seven.
C
Already. Is temperature, not.
B
Touch. Perhaps, but you don't need to touch something to feel temperature. So.
C
Perhaps. Yeah, because it's air moving past your skin, they might argue that's.
B
Touch. But you can feel. You can feel heat. So touch, fine. But balance is another.
C
One.
B
Balance. There's actually like a bunch. If you look it up, there's a. There's a ton of senses that. And it's kind of like once you read, you go, oh, yeah, like balance is obvious. You have a sense of balance. Yeah. Pressure.
A
Text.
B
Yeah. Well, texture might be touch, though. Yeah. But pressure is a good point.
C
Too. Sound is also pressure. So that's kind.
D
Of.
A
That's.
B
Yeah. People just say.
A
Things. Pressure is probably in touch. Right. You could feel.
D
It. I love.
C
Pressure. Technically, sound is.
D
Touch. Pressure makes diamonds, which is.
A
Weird.
C
True. I guess it's all touch because.
B
Your eyes are getting.
C
21. 21.
A
Senses.
B
21. Sight, smell, sound, taste, touch, balance. There's something called external body awareness. Oh.
C
Oh. Your sense of, like, where you are in the room that.
B
Perhaps. Oh. External and internal body awareness are considered senses. That's.
C
Cool. Spatial.
D
Awareness. Dlc. I didn't even.
B
Realize. Oh, yeah, dude.
C
Upgrade. It's only.
B
$7.99.
A
Interesting.
B
Yeah. The spectrum of senses actually has to do with mental disorders. That's also interesting. People who are suffering from mental sores based on the various senses.
C
Interesting. I've always been into extra sensory.
B
Perception. Does that just encapsulate 33 senses? Oh, there's more and there's.
A
More.
D
33. They keep dropping new.
C
Senses. Hold on. They're going to make a new.
A
Flag. That's.
B
Insane. And so you can buy a mystery.
D
Box. Yeah. Loot.
A
Crate. Yeah, little loot.
D
Crate. You can pack a bunch of scents. Get a better.
A
One. Yeah, I actually. It's good. It's like a battle for sense.
B
Depending on how you break it down. Vision, Actually, vision can be broken down into different senses. Color. Not only can you see movement, but you can see colors as well. And some people can't. So that's an interesting point because if you said sight is a sense, but some person. Someone's colorblind or someone's tone deaf. Are you saying they're half sensed? No. They can still see movement, but they can't see color. Some people can see both. Interesting pressure Serge mentioned. Let's see, what else is there? Balance.
C
Acceleration. That's.
B
Awesome. We can sense acceleration kind of.
C
Sometimes because we're accelerating on the Earth right now, but we're.
E
Desensitized. You're talking about getting in a.
C
Car. Yeah.
D
Relative. Also, if the Earth is accelerating, we'd be in.
C
Trouble. It is constantly accelerating. Even when you're moving the same speed, you're technically accelerating to maintain speed.
B
Technically. Full stomach. Oh.
C
Hunger. That's okay, I'm listening. But that's like touch.
B
Right? Hunger is a sense. Hunger. I guess. Technically not, though it's considered an intro. Intro receptor.
D
Interoceptor. It's called losing. Is a sense I don't have it. I have a.
A
Disorder.
B
Really? Like, I can't cause problems. Well, no, a Tate can't. He doesn't know when he.
A
Loses.
B
Right?
A
Winning.
D
Yeah. Constantly.
A
Taking. I can sense when people.
B
Are. That's. You can't sense.
C
Wins. It's the.
A
Optimist. Yeah. I can sense when people are like. When I saw Candace Owens, I.
B
Was, like, going on, bro, it's. It's wild that she was like, the invasion of Venezuela was for Israel and the Zionists. It's, like, radically.
A
Crazy. Are you shitting me? What are you talking.
B
About? What does that.
A
Mean? It was also the French, too. No, it was also the French. They were in on.
D
It.
B
Yeah. Give me clicks. I mean, it works. It's just like, maybe we're in the wrong line of work. Maybe you want to. You launch successful show, you just be like, on today's episode of why Jews Are.
C
Bad. But to be honest, I bet she's under, like, this undue amount of stress right now and, like, has no.
B
Outlet or, you know, we should. I figured it out. We need to do a show where we talk about how the Jews are bad. But slowly, every day, what we're actually doing is incrementally changing the definition of Jew. So it's like you start with saying, yeah, that Jewish guy who runs the media thing is a bad guy, but he also likes golfing. Then the next day, you're like, so these Jewish guys who go golfing, after a few months, you eventually jumped so many steps, you're now talking about race car drivers. And now. And now you're like, those race car drivers. And everyone's like, yeah, and they totally forgot they're talking about Jews. Yeah. You can just slowly, you know, you could do that. We could do.
C
That. Start associating Jewish people with golfing and then just start talking about golfers. Everyone will assume you're talking about.
B
The.
C
Yep.
B
Dirty. And then you actually just drop the innuendo and literally just talk about golfers and start naming, like, Scottie Scheffler and being like, these.
A
Golfers.
B
Yeah. And then people, they love the.
A
Content. I saw McCrone golfing.
D
Once. So, yeah, you're going to. You go, NBA players. It's like, Penny.
A
Hardaway. It's like, well, you know, Tiger Woods, He's a.
D
Golfer. Great.
B
Golfer. They would say, the biggest.
D
Golfer. The Jews love me. They love me a.
A
Lot. They like putting balls in.
B
Holes. Wow, that's crazy. All right, let's grab another cheddar. Ferris McLaren says, Happy New Year. 10 Hanlon's razor suggests a person is stupid or ignorant on a particular issue or topic and not stupid as a whole. Are there any plans to bring Candace on the Culture War podcast to see if she's dumb or evil on Charlie Kirk? Sunlight is the best.
E
Disinfectant. It'd be a great.
B
Show. I mean, well, the answer is no, but we could. You know what I mean? I think it's an issue of. That's a tough one. She like how difficult it was for her to do the Erica Kirk thing. She's already turned down apparently, like, tens of thousands of dollars to actually do these debates. So we've not actually considered it. We could. She is like, I would have her on the show. It's.
A
Fine. If you do put her on the show, can you please put somebody in a French mustache with a baguette.
B
Just sitting next to here's, here's. Here's the.
C
Issue. I'll be French as fuck.
B
Dude. The problem with Candace is that she knows she's doing bad, and there's no real conversation to be had with someone who's intentionally doing evil. I'm not saying don't host these people. I'm saying bring her on the show. She would just use manipulation tactics instead of addressing the actual issues. You'd say something and she changed the subject. Liberals do it all the time.
C
Yeah. You'd want to not put no one on the.
A
Defense. She started her career with doxing.
B
Conservatives.
A
Yeah. Literally.
B
Which. So, all right. K Dub from the Boot says, let me get a job. Tim. I work for a private detention company in security electronics, but I'm tired of working in a prison. I got to be honest. How many people work here who are just super chatters? Like two or three at.
C
Least. Raymond G.
B
Stanley. Raymond and.
C
Chuck. Oh, yeah, Charles.
B
Dude.
E
Yeah. Charles was. I didn't know.
A
That.
E
Mr.
B
Battery. And then they were just super chatting all the time. So we knew who they were. So when they emailed, we were like, yeah, why not? You know what I mean? Raymond would call suggesting anybody super chat in order to get a.
C
Job. No, but. But you call in and we talk to you. I mean, that's the best way to get a gig, is to know the people hiring.
D
You. Yeah. You think you're answering questions. We're actually interviewing.
B
You. Well, I'll say this, too. Like, we'll hire who we need to hire, but obviously we can only hire the people we know who exist. And so if there's people who are fans of the show, people we've met People who are members or whatever, and we already know them, not by any legal means, but just by proximity. They're more likely to hear about.
C
Opportunities. And I'm going to beg, please don't call in and ask to work here. I mean, it's just. It's a hard thing to say no to over and over.
B
Again. And it's like, I don't.
E
Know. You should tweet at.
C
Ian. Yeah, sure. I'd love to hire.
B

Episode Theme:
A deep dive into the recent targeted attack on Vice President JD Vance's home by a trans-identifying individual with Democratic donor ties, set against a backdrop of escalating political violence and the dramatic U.S. operation to remove Maduro from power in Venezuela. The conversation covers the social and political implications, mental health debates, regime change, American interventionism, generational trends, viral investigative journalism, and more, with Timcast's trademark candid, independent, and uncensored discussion.
The panel opens by outlining two seismic recent stories: the United States' sudden removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the reported attack on Vice President JD Vance's Ohio home by an alleged transgender individual whose parent is a Democratic donor. Tim and guests tackle the personal and societal ramifications of political violence, the ideological divides sharpening in America, mental health and social contagion in youth, and the complex consequences of foreign interventions. The episode weaves in updates on Venezuela, skepticism on media coverage and government motives, and a spirited, sometimes irreverent look at American, generational, and internet culture.

Prospects for America:
In this high-voltage episode, Timcast IRL places two fires—the literal one at JD Vance’s house, and the geopolitical conflagration in Venezuela—side by side as evidence that instability, media manipulation, and ideological violence are rising in the US and abroad. The show oscillates between analysis of social pathologies (rising nihilism, radicalization) and the realpolitik that drives American policy, while celebrating Gen Z’s potential for disruption (as with Nick Shirley’s activism). Rooted in the independent, skeptical spirit of the Timcast network, the episode balances heavy themes with irreverence, challenging listeners to stay informed, get involved, and keep their sense of humor.
