Trump Says WAR Is Basically OVER, Rumors Khamenei Son HAS DIED w/ Brandon Herrera

Gas prices were, there was a fear.

“It was going to skyrocket because crude oil had shot up so high.”

Only in a homeless full of surprises. Some wonderful, some... Not so much. And when something breaks, it can feel like the whole day unravels. That's why home serve exists.

So we're looking like it's pretty done. He said that the original timeline for 4 weeks, actually. We're going much, much more, quickly than that. And then instantly the market turned around. And the price of crude oil dropped 30%.

“The biggest drop, the fastest drop we've seen, I think, ever.”

Just because Trump said, "I think I'm done."

So this could be nearing the end of the war. We'll have you want to describe it. But the interesting thing is, the idolist's son reportedly survived an assassination attempt. However, while the reports say that he was wounded,

there are rumors circulating that he actually didn't make it. We don't know for sure. There's no official confirmation on this, but that is the rumor right now. And oh boy, it's coming home. There's a really crazy story, guys.

Over the weekend, Islamic extremists slobbed IEDs improvised explosive devices at protestors in New York City. Now, that in and of itself is absolutely insane. And then you add on top the depravity of the media who has repeatedly misled the public by framing this as though

the protesters planted bombs at Mamdanese House. It's ridiculous seeing these headlines that they're putting out saying, suspicious devices found near Mayor Mamdanese home. When the real story is, with video, Islamic extremists threw nail bombs at protesters.

Absolutely insane stuff. We're going to talk about all of that in my friends. Before we do, we got a great sponsor for you guys. It is venus.ai, check it out my friends. Sam Altman said, "jetGPT will get to know you over your life."

Aside from that, joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more we have. Brandon Herrera. How's it going, buddy? It's going great. It's great to see you congressman elect. Well, we shall see. We're not out of the woods yet. Not. We completed the one goal that we had in the very beginning, which is getting the right no toning and all is that of office.

So we're pretty proud about that. And so you are not yet the actual congressman elect you on the primary and now you're going to the big race in November. But it's a red district, so you're considered to be a heavy favorite. Other than that's who are you? What do you do?

Well, so outside of that, my day job is I'm a business owner here in the district district 23. I'm a fire manufacturer, fire, I'm designer. I do YouTube. Oh, no, host of different businesses and co-owned at with business partners in mine. But the biggest thing was I just was very unhappy with the actions of my congressman and the things he was voting on. And so that was my primary issue with him. And so I ran against some

last cycle, narrowly lost by 400 votes. Hope to be better. He clearly wasn't. And so I decided to

run against him again, where for the first time in his political career, he lost. He lost us.

but within a couple hundred votes, I think, is the reporting. This time around aside from the fact that people already were questioning his choices, we got this other story in which people really questioned his choices about this affair and everything like that.

“So we'll get into this later on for sure, but you know, and honestly, I'm more interested in”

what you want to like your story about what you want to bring to Congress, which is particularly

dysfunctional. So oh boy, that'll be fun. Disfunctionals are good word for you. Yeah, I always

joked on the campaign trail. If I ran my businesses the way that, you know, Congress runs the government, I would be homeless three times over. Yeah, and that funny how that works, huh? All right, man. Well, thanks for hanging out. It's going to be a lot of fun. Let's just jump into the news here. We've got this from Mediite, Trump declares. Iran war is nearly over. The war is very nearly complete. It's very complete pretty much. He said pretty much, and if on an interview,

President Trump told me the war could be over soon. I think the war is very complete pretty much they have no navy, no communications. They've got no air force. He added that the US is very far ahead of its initial four to five week estimate estimated time frame. Now, I don't know what that really means for Trump to be like. It's very much pretty much complete. But you take a look at oil prices.

“When Donald Trump comes out and says, I think we're done. Oil drops from 97. It was over a”

hundred before down to 84, just a few hours later. So it's looking like the market is reacting to this may be the end right now. And I will stress this based on my conversations with people in the Beltway. A lot of these fat cats and big wigs, the big money, they've been acting as though they fully expect us to be wrapped up in a couple of weeks, not an exaggeration. So it really does sound like there's people putting their money where their mouths are. But I'm curious what you think about.

It's Trump just a blow-vading or are we actually getting this thing to end?

I think that he's always blow-vading. Always awesome. Like this hilarious. Look, if this

actually does get wrapped up, say, say on a fast timeline within two weeks. And the US can make a legitimate claim that the majority of their goals were met. I think that it might end up being a positive thing. Look, the Iranian regime has always been, or at least for the past 47 years, has been a thorn in the side of basically everyone in the West, all of the Middle East, they're all their neighbors hated them. They were constantly funding terrorism. There's plenty of

of history of them attacking US forces. They because of Iran, there was a lot of people that were in Iraq that ended up losing limbs or dying because of the bombs that they were supplying to the insurgents and stuff. So again, I wasn't for the war beforehand. But if I am pro-America,

“so if it ends up where they wrap it up in the next week or so, I mean, I think that's a good”

thing for the United States. Basically, we're talking about audio, saying the Phil's audio is

low or not. But let me just add real quick. Also, Phil, the way you're a laptop monitor is angled, you're shirt because they can't see the second word. It looks like it just says I stand with Israel crossed out. But then you can only see the top of Palestine, so it looks like you actually stand with Palestine. Yeah, no, no, you can neither. I stand with not. I stand with Lockheed Martin. It's a great investment and I'm not giving it advice.

Yeah, yeah, get your American. No, I can't even give you an advice. There's this post on Reddit that went viral where they said, I can't remember who, there's a Trump Jr. in someone else bought, invested into a drone manufacturer or or something like this right when right before the war started signaling that they knew and they were profiting off of it or whatever. But I don't think these leftists understand what it invested in means.

They assume that investment only just means like I'm going to make money. They don't understand it means I am funding the creation of what they're doing. Yeah. So like if we're getting involved in war and we know that their enemy countries that are producing these specialty drones for warfare and you're like, if I provide money, we could have those too. See, they don't understand the point of what investment is because they're communists. So, you know, and Reddit's just basically all

communists. So, is it insider training? If like Nancy Pelosi knows companies about to start so she invests in another company that's going to support that company, it's technically still on insider training. As soon as they were moving near aircraft carrier strike groups into the Middle East, you kind of knew what was going to happen. I knew what was going to happen. So, I mean, not I know. If people were like, oh, they're moving carriers and so I'm going to buy, you know,

defense industry stocks that's not insider training. I mean, it's kind of like what happened when in the breakout of the Ukraine Russian war. Yeah. When you you saw those reports that, oh, they're moving blood bags to the front lines. It's like, oh, okay. Well, that just got a lot more serious. That's not a thing you do for a training exercise. I'm glad that Trog, I've said this. I think

and to say nonsense to get the world like, I have no idea what this guy's going to do. Just please Trump spare me. But if they really killed Kamini's son, which potentially they wounded him killed him. I mean, four. Right. Yes. Four kids. No, this is really the fourth. I told that they've

killed him to start of the war. Geez. They got the second. The second. Yeah, they killed the,

they killed Ali Kamini and then the, the council appointed his son. Okay. I've done the impression

“of that. Well, I must, there was like, was there like a vice supreme leader? Because I think”

at the first night, they killed like 40 plus. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was pretty extreme the first time. But I guess if they have the, uh, uh, you know, the, the chain of commander, whatever, the line of succession and he wiped them all out. I guess you could say 40 or whatever. I don't know that actual, but I, I understand he said they came in and they voted for for his son to come in. And we're going to do all that, too. But I'm curious, uh, Mr. Harris, you will be very likely

going to Washington to see what do you think about Trump? You know, they're not calling it a war. They're saying it's a combat operation. They don't, you know, head Seth said,

"Were, we'll have the lawyers, you know, figure that out." It's very obviously a war.

But I'm curious what, what, what you think of it, and then, you know, what would your position be? Yeah, like constitutionally speaking, if you were going to go to war, you need the approval of Congress. And now that's changed over the course of, you know, especially since World War II. We've gotten a lot loose through with that definition with the War Powers Act and different things like that. I still, I'm personally in favor of the idea that if we're going to go to war

with another nation, you need the approval of Congress. That being said, you know, I, I don't think anybody wants another forever war in the Middle East and the Sandbox. I don't think anybody's in Congress. Yeah, every day all the time forever. No, I'm true. My jokes are meaningless. The, the thing is though, I really, you know, less so with this Iran conflict, but we'll see how it pans out. But especially with Venezuela is if we are going to get involved with something,

I vastly prefer the kind of conflict where you go in, the entire optics and hour. You go in, you get out, you accomplish it, you get it done, and you don't spend 20 years somewhere, spend trillions of dollars in a war that fathers and sons are fighting in the same conflict, generation apart. Like, just go in, get out. Like, we're, we're, the way that Trump's doing this foreign policy wise is putting, you know, 20 years of Bush-Chainee policy, foreign policy to shame.

You know, the, the challenge I have with it is, I, I, I would say I completely agree with

“them, you just say, and I would add one caveat. There's a challenge. I think you'd probably agree.”

There, there is, the president does have the ability to engage in military operations in an emergency, just go and do it. And that's been the criteria that they have exploited to be able to continually go to war. There is something that's challenging in that if Iran is really about to strike a bunch of US personnel or ships or something like this, I'm not saying, I don't know, people are going to be like Tim, we sent all those, but I'm saying, let's say we've got troops, you know, and then it

runs like we're going to go blow them all up. Trump says, okay, we're going to, we're going to take out their capability to do this. If he goes to Congress and says, put it to a vote. Yeah, you say, you just told the whole world, your next military move. And that is, I think largely why they don't want to go to Congress, but also how they exploit the rules so they don't go to Congress. No, 100% I mean, that that's clearly like it's kind of like, I think it's the same justification

for no knock rates. Like, I am largely against no knock rates, but I understand there's certain situations in which case you're like, okay, we have verified actionable intel if we try to knock on this door, there's 18 armed cartel members on the inside. They're going to light us up. You know, I understand that the use case for it, I just think it's overused, especially when it

“comes to law enforcement, no knock stuff like that. I think it's a similar thing. That's exactly”

it's, it becomes the excuse. Yeah. And then if you threaten to take that power away because they're abusing it, they'll say, then what will you do when you actually need to no knock rate or

the same same thing with abortion where they always say they always come back to the, oh, well,

it was rape or incest or whatever, when like the vast majority of cases, like the very vast majority, that's not the case. Yeah. Do you think we're headed towards a future of central control and authority where we trust the president to make the decisions about who we attack or are you, do you want to scale it back to Congressional world? I mean, I think we've been headed there for a long time. I mean, this is, I people think that this is unique to Trump. I saw there's a couple like got you moments,

Tim, you kind of got a little bit of a, you know, crap storm on the internet over the thing that you posted. Which one? Just it was the old clip where I think it was, was it Bill Mar? It was talking about, well, that was the justification Obama used. What was it? Colbert? No, it was a Colbert one. Well, I posted a quote from Steven Colbert about gas prices. Yeah. Because everyone's a retard and I know. And so I was like, I'm going to post Steven Colbert's quote without quotes in it. And then

ignite the internet and get really angry. For those of not remember, there's a huge story three

paying a buck or two for a clean conscience or something like this because we were going to get involved

in the war in Ukraine. So now that Donald Trump was saying, look, oil prices are temporarily going up. And now all of a sudden liberals were losing it being like, Mago's going to support. I got, I guess prices. I was like, this is the perfect opportunity for me to trap all these libs. I'm going to quote Steven Colbert who they defended in this context. And then they will insult and attack me saying,

“Mago will do anything for Trump. And here's the thing, I literally posted, I'm like, I posted the”

quote and then immediately the link to the story. Yeah. And I still knew no one was going to actually click the link and read it. And all, it's 2000 replies of people are like, you're happy that the gas prices are up. I'm like, no, I just wanted to do this to prove a point. And then I'm going to make it into a YouTube video. Yeah. I mean, like you said at this morning, you're like, this was an IQ test. Yeah. Because well, and it does point out the fact that like people are

just headline readers nowadays. Like how many people actually take the time. And you know, I'm guilty of this occasionally. How many people take the time to actually open up the article and read the context behind the two sentences that they read before, you know, that are in the headline.

This is like the sole basis for my job in media is that, you know, people are always like

Tim's kind of a milk toast fence. And I'm like, yeah, because my opinion on like the, the tax rate.

“And, you know, the policy for abortion, I go, wow, I don't know if I'm smart enough to answer”

those questions for you guys. Nor do I have the clarity of the moral clarity to tell you how to live your life. But I can certainly tell you the media lied to you about everything. So that's the challenge we have right now. It's not even at the media lies, which they do. And, certainly, it's one of the stories we've got pulled up. It's that people don't care. So that, you know, the NBC knows they can write this fake headline,

making the victims of a terror attack sound like the perpetrators. Because most people are not going to read the story. They're going to read the headline. And I guarantee you now, there's a bunch of lips going around saying, did you hear about the white supremacists rally, where they threw explosives at Mamdanese House? Because that was the headline that NBC created, even though the real story is, Anti, I guess the protest was, well, like, it's, it's, it's, it's Islam or

Islam, critical or something. And Islamic jihadi extremists lobbed nail bombs at them. And then

the media frames it to make them the mega. So again, we'll get into. But yes, people aren't reading the news. They're just skimming the headlines. And then assuming that's the truth. Man, there's even this deep fake fake news headlines that I'll read. And I'll be like, is this real? And I'll ask Garak and I'll be, nope, this is fabricated. This is a fake picture from 2020. The American ship did not get a blown up by Iranian missiles today. And like,

it's got 17,000 likes on it or whatever. I'm sure you've seen the billions of AI videos that have been going around where it's, you know, like an American fighter jet being chased or an American helicopter being chased by a dude on a flying car. Yeah. This is going to one shot your grandfather on Facebook. Like, there's, there's no way. If you're 70 plus, like, this is just, it's over. He's going to be like, I knew they had those things all the time. I've been indoctrinating my mother

about it. Everybody go to your elderly family members and friends and tell them about this AI stuff. Let them know right now. Like, get serious about it. Because they're still, it's interesting to them when they find out about it. But it's, you know, no one's going to tell them. Unless you do it. Let's jump to this next story. Speaking of the lies and manipulations of the media, I have a tweet here from NBC, New York, which reads, multiple arrests made after quote,

"Suspicious devices found outside Gracie Manchin home of Mayor Zoran Mamdoni during anti-Islam rally and counter protest." Now, any person who heard that is going to assume that anti-Islamic protesters planted suspicious devices. In fact, what actually happened is that an Islamic extremist lob, they nailed bomb at protesters. And here we have a video where there's the, there's the guy. And, and you know, I love this, this guy Walter Mason says I was in the middle of

saying as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone in the city when he threw that over my head. And as we learned after the fact, what he's throwing is a nail bomb. That means it's an explosive

“device. And I think it's, it was made with TATP, is that what it's called? Yes, which is actually,”

I'm glad you brought that up because TATP, they got very lucky on that. Because people were like, oh, the fuses, you know, they didn't ignite what not, TATP is very notorious for being an impact explosive. Wow. So that's something that could have immediately gone off the moment hit the ground, just from the impact smack in the concrete. Cheese. Now, I do had a shout out Sean Fitzgerald to say, some say true poetic beauty is rare in life. I say, look at this video of Islamic terror

literally going right over a lefty said. Yes, Islamic terrorist is using a leftist as a defense or a shield. Yeah, to carry out a terror attack. But it's not just NBC, New York, CNN had a very similar

Manchin. Shouldn't the headlines be Islamic extremists throw improvised explosives at protesters?

Yeah. Yeah. These, these people in media hate you. They are evil. I'm sorry. Not literally every single journalist, but whoever's making these articles, they hate your guts and they are evil. Were they near Mamdanis house? Yes. Yeah, that's the. And so this is the manipulation. This is evil stuff, man. But don't you know, the real victims of this will be the the Muslims that are targeted by anti-Islamic hatred. And then you know, that's normal. He had the fame, it was a tweet I

“think where he said, the worst thing about, what, what, what did he say like the worst thing about”

oil theory is that there's going to be a nuclear explosion caused by Islamic terror. Yeah. If you know, it's the, I should just pull it up. But he said, um, think about how bad it would be, if like a nuclear device has led off by Islamic extremists, all the poor Muslims or whatever would would, would face all that hate or something like that. And, uh, yeah, that's the way the media operates. So the question is, what is the job of the press? It's to inform the public so that they

can make the correct decisions to better, better lead their country through the democratic processes. That means you tell people Islamic extremists through an improvised explosive at protestors. And they say, okay, let's assess that and figure out how we should adapt our country, our city, our state, or otherwise, when you put that lines like this, what are they going to think? Oh, wow, white supremacists are scary. That's what Mamdanis said. Mamdanis did the same things. Or

“Mamdanis tweeted, Jake Lang, a white supremacist, blah, blah, blah. And then he said,”

what happened next to even worse? It is wrong to use violence and explosives. He made it sound like Jake Lang showed up and his guys through explosives. How dare you pieceably assemble as is guaranteed

you're right under the first amendment and give an opportunity for one of our people to do that

to you. Like, that's really how that came off. Yeah, it's, um, it's like the, um, Sultan it's and said, the, uh, in that passage about a soldier was about to be murdered, stabbed, and then he fought back, grabbed the knife and stabbed the attacker, criminally charged for it, and when he was in court, they said, why didn't you flee? And he said, he was trying to kill me, and he said, you could have run away. And so it's the, the poor, the poor criminal. Why didn't

you, well, how, how, you know, you know, actually a really great example when my favorite episodes of Mayor of the Children of the show, I'm not a big fan of, because Al, Al, Al, bunnies always losing, except no man they had their successes. But I love the episode where he punched a guy in the face and then sued the guy for hurting his hand on his face. And I guess the point of the story was it was always, something was always backwards or whatever,

or the, the point of the show, it's always going wrong. But this is basically how they operate

with these terror attacks. Like you just said, how dare you create the opportunity to entice these poor young men, you know, and I assure you right now, there are lefties in New York saying that I guarantee this because I've been there, I've been there meetings, they're probably saying things like, well, you gotta understand, they're internalizing white supremacy and victimhood,

“and they're lashing out at the only way they know how. Yeah, I mean, they take away the agency”

of the people that are actually carrying out the crime. They say, well, these, these poor people don't know, they, they don't know better, or they, they can't help it, or what have you, which is completely and totally taking away their, their agency and the fact that they are human beings that actually make their own decisions. They lay the blame on someone else all the time. You were talking about the, the role of media and journalism, particularly, and I feel like it used to be,

find out what happened, and then tell people about it. Now, it's find out what's a lie, and then tell people, so they know what's one's the lie, and then you kind of leave it up to everybody else to go find the truth. You know, there's just so many things happening that one guy cannot deliver that amount of information properly anymore, so we've got independent researchers now, is a lot more normalized. And your job really is just, you know, break the fake narratives when

they arrive. It used to be just to tell the truth, is that it used to be just tell people what's happening, and then now it's all opinion based. Can you guys turn off fills mic? I'm sorry. No, no, you're good. It's just, it's insane to me that now like the narrative, like weaving a narrative is part of the job when it comes to mainstream journalism. That wasn't the way it was ever intended to be. That's so crazy. It might have, that we know of because when they unit state owned it,

and it was like Walter Cronkite, I just thought it was true, but like the Vietnam War, you know, right, golf of Tonkin, you thought that was real. You guys knew it was coming. The moment people pointed out that fills mic was low and it started saying turn up fills mic. We got a bunch of no, turn fills mic off. But fills mic was fine the whole time. I have seen it. No, it should need to go up and turn it up and then I turn it up and make it. I'm going to keep doing that.

It's been practicing as ASMR. He's got to know ASMR channel. Well, no matter whether or not you're

all of your talking for you now? Yeah. No, I believe tank doesn't have a voice yet. Yeah, tank. Yeah.

Indeed. Yes, you put his personality in a tank one day? No. That'd be badass, dude. You're like,

“tank, take me to the future, whatever, and then drives you along and you're tank. What?”

Because I prefer him in the background. He's going to get me a Tesla bro. Well, that's actually coming to be honest with you. But it's going to be a rock, but it's going to be a rock. It's going to be a rock. It's going to be what? What if Elon name that that? All right. I think is one of them. No, the wife who? Yeah, ARA. ARA. Are you sure on the blonde one? Is ARA? Pretty easy and very sure about this. I don't think that's correct. Are you deep in ARA now, Brandon?

Not particularly. I have that. This is the one thing where I realized it was TikTok started it and now ARA is definitely one of those things that I'm seeing. How easy it is to fall behind.

Because I think this is where I'm pushing back. We're like, I'm like, with my parents or my grandparents,

like, I don't understand how you can't understand Facebook or whatever when it was coming out. Now, I'm like, nope. Nope. This is scary. This is robots. I don't understand the importance of it, but like, whenever I see AI music or AI art and things like that, my initial response is just like uncanny valley long. What about a pushback? This is my AI agent. I can literally, I just send a

“tech messages on, did you give him access to your credit cards? No, I do. That's why he's, that's”

what he's on a computer of his own. He's got his own email address and he's good. We're going to do it. So we're going to, we're going to, we're going to make an agent and we're, I'm going to get a prepaid visa. Yep. And then I'm going to, I'm going to have it go into the prediction markets and just run it at the API. If they, if they allow it and then just just crank it. I wonder if that's a little bit right now. Yeah, as it is. I was, I took a WAMO earlier,

driverless car. I've took, like, four of them in the last day and it's very soothing. You don't smell the guy. You don't have to argue. You don't talk to your off. It's just you and a car. You can have a phone call. Well, it's still being recorded. I've also taken a WAMO and it stopped in the middle of the road and made me get out in the middle of the road. Yeah. And I'm, and I'm sitting here in the car and it's like, so it doesn't get me wrong. There's, there's a sidewalk to my right. There was

like a curb and grass and all this stuff and I'd have to it. But it's the middle, there's no shoulder or anything. It was, I was an L.A. I think. And it's just driving and then just stops on a two lane road with cars zooming past and it was like, you've arrived. And I'm like, no, I haven't. I was, I was, I was maybe like a block from my actual destination and it was trying to get me to get out of the wrong spot. And I look at my, I'm like, where am I? And you can't do anything about it.

You can't tell the stop. It's having me today. That literally a block away. And just like, not on the street, you're, you're, you're on like a busy throw fair to just stop. What year was it? What day was that? A month and was that like it? This was, this was last year. What was I, when, when was it, when did I go on Bill Mars show? It was around that. It was like a year ago. Yeah. And I wanted to take it to, uh, uh, go, go around into like the Hollywood Hills.

But it won't. What if there was a AI congressman? Would you support that? No. I think when that happens. What I was like, a member of Congress, there was like an violent advisor to Congress that was AI or something like a state advisor to Congress. I feel like that's already a thing. That's pretty much everybody under 25 that works for a congressman currently. All the staff. And anything else sounds like wally, you know, just one of

those like, you're controlled by your, your robot overlords. But, no, I mean, I drive a cyber truck, like I was my daily driver. And, uh, the autopilot's pretty good. But there's been like three scenarios that tried to murder me. I caught it. It was, well, because it, like, it doesn't understand certain things. Like, if there's like a, uh, you know, yield to turn a left on green. And there's oncoming traffic. It's just like, we're turning slowly. And I had to manually

take control to make sure that I've had, uh, a few, uh, and the past couple of years has gotten dramatically better. A couple of years ago I talked about quite a bit where in, uh, in West Virginia, there's like a, um, I think it's West Virginia. I might be Western Maryland. There's a, like, three,

“it's like six lane highway. So three and three. So to turn left, you have to stop in a median,”

and then wait until the road clears. So I'm, I'm in the middle lane autopilot going, I think, like, 70 miles an hour. And there's a pickup truck sitting in the meeting, waiting to turn. And as soon as it pops up on the, it was out in the Model S, it slams the brakes on from, like, and me, my wife, like, uh, knees today. We were like, holy crap. And I, you, you, you tap the get the accelerator stop at, make it go forward again. Tons of things like that. And then I was in

Hagerstown, uh, Maryland. And, uh, it was auto autopiloting. And there was, like, a knee sound center or something sitting in front of me turning right. And Tesla was just going straight for it. And it wasn't stopping. And when it got maybe in a couple inches, I just jammed the wheel to the left, like, holy crap. And then like, the alert goes off. What's wrong? And I'm like, you nearly just rammed the back of someone's car at 25 miles an hour. Uh, more recently,

it hasn't really, uh, it's been mostly fine. I haven't any, uh, real issues. Yeah, I've had a couple

new updates a couple times where there was issues, but, but it's, for the most, I can basically

about the cyber truck because it's got curb weight. You know, I, uh, the way you, and the liability

on, uh, on Elon, so. The way Elon put it is, I think, uh, in the, the crash testing of the cyber truck, he said, if, uh, you're, if the cyber truck gets in an argument with another car, it will win. Yeah. Indeed. So, you know, I brought a tool because I told tank that, uh, we were talking about

“me, he said, wait, seriously, what are you saying about me? And then he said, well, that's why”

good things I hope I hate to get, I hate to get canceled before I even have a social media presence. Just send him the link. I said, only good things. He said, I appreciate, I appreciate that. Tell them I said hi. And then I'm available for bookings. So, we're going to tank on the show. We can take a voice and see what he has to offer. I brought up AI, because I feel like, uh, like a good British, no, not, not, not a good British, a bad British, like a cockney.

Yeah. So, I can barely understand him. Right, mate. Yeah, you, uh, you know, feel, I'll think you do, put it, go, Mike. He's, yeah, every after everything he's going to say. In it. In it. He's a show in it. Just make sure it's not run by grok, because on a bad month, that can get pretty hairy. Yeah. I was thinking, I don't know. Anyway, so, you know, you're not really annoys me. I'm sorry. I have to say this. When grok started calling

itself mega hitler, that was funny. It was an error in the system caused by user input. And the media act like the apocalypse was happening, like Elon did it on purpose. It's like, right, do live a little. He fixed it. It was, it was funny that it broke that way. But there's fake moral outrage to be it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I brought up AI, brand and customer. I feel like Congress where you're going most likely is, uh, pretty busted up right now. Like one guy has to

represent 700,000 people and can't literally, like, you can represent yourself. You can't represent me. I can only represent myself effectively. You could, you could pass a note for me. But then what, 700,000 people, you're going to like, you've got to make your own decisions at some point. And we trust you. But that system, it's getting so big. It feels like it's not sustaining. Well, I mean, it's, it's represented based on population. And really, the, the job is not to represent each

individual person. The job is to say, okay, this is the area of land. These are the people that I'm representing. These are the issues that they're having that aren't being put on a national stage. Like, for example, in my district, it's the biggest border district in the country. We've got border issues. We've got, uh, you know, water issues, water shortages. We have AI data centers that are moving in. We have, uh, you know, oil thefts that are happening in like the Permian Basin areas. It's my

responsibility to then take those issues to the national stage to represent the broader whole of the people, not each individual person. Because I mean, realistically, the, the best form of government is the one that governs most locally. So you want to take the most amount of power away from federal give it to states, states down to local communities. And the ideal form of government is the individual.

“But in lieu of that, you have to have somebody that can represent that voice.”

And if you're looking for things that affect you personally like on that kind of level, you do have state representatives. So like you wouldn't go to brand-news. A federal representative, he represents a district in Washington. You can go to your local representative and talk to the people about the needs of your community, uh, on a state level. It's about the district, not every single individual as an individual. And, uh, there's even when it was 35,000 people,

it's impossible. Come on, you think back in the day when they created the country, one guy was

going to go to each and every third of the 35,000 and be like, literally what you want, I will

advocate for. No, sometimes there's going to be contradictions. So I agree with you in essence that it is getting pretty wild. These districts are getting so massive. But the general idea is, do you have a, do you have an understanding of what your district is looking for and wants in terms of, like, you know, uh, brand will be going to DC, uh, dealing with federal policy and representing the interests of everybody in this district. And that means there's going to be challenges and I don't

mean just to say it's about brand, but literally in the member congress, you got 100,000 people who think, uh, raw milk should be banned. You got 100,000 people who think raw milk should be legal. What do you do?

“There's no easy answers. That's when your ethics come into play. And that's why we choose who we”

send, because it's like up to you to break the tie. For sure. You say you say raw milk for those who want it and tiny, miniaturized American flags, everybody else. And what is that fecal transplants for those ones, the women that need them in their outer layers? I was just riffing. What were you guys saying? Yeah. I don't know. I just got flashbang. Sorry. I was a bad riff and it shouldn't go into any song ever. Okay. I, uh, flashbang. I mean, I feel like on on one element of it, you could interpret

that way. Things are getting crazy in that regard. But also on the other one, with the age of information, technology, and instant communication, you could say that representatives, if they actually gave a damn about representing, you know, the people that they were responsible for, um, they're in a best position possible, because they can instantly, from DC talk to their constituents and ask what they need and ask what they want and ask what the issues are from the district. But that's also,

that's giving a lot. Um, that's asking a lot. That's asking the, the congressmen to actually care about what their constituents need. I wonder the longer they're in there, they get less and less

interested with what's happening out there. Like do you support, uh, when we've seen it a million times,

what I did when, uh, in between the last two election, or the last election, and this one, was, uh, go to the capital in Austin and, and ask other, uh, members of the state legislature, if they would sign on to the terminal, it's pledge. Because I don't think anybody goes to DC and gets better. So what about your, about term limits? I'm kind of of the opinion that if you have term limits, you're going to end up giving the bureaucracy more power. Because you have people that are,

that are only there for a say for congresshates, it's, whatever, four terms, right? They're, they're only there for eight years. Just at the point where they really learn the ins and outs about DC, they're term limited out and they have to leave. So what ends up, well, what could end up happening is the bureaucrats and the staffers that don't have any kind of term limits end up running the show even more than they are already too, which we understand that staffers really do a

lot of making decisions for congress. They tell their, their, their congresspeople or their centers. This is how we're voting or what have you. But what do you say to people that say, term limits are actually aren't going to solve the problem. It's going to make the bureaucracy

more powerful. Well, here's what I would argue in return. Uh, I don't think it's going to solve the

“problem. I don't think any one thing. This is a massive multi, multi-faceted problem. I think it's”

going to help in regards with the incumbency advantage. Because not only do you have the name recognition that comes with incumbency, but a lot of times you have the fundraising ability and everything like once what you get to the levels of, for example, John Coran and right now, who's done 24 years in the Senate, he's asking for 30. He might get it. I don't think he will. But he has the ability to throw $100 million at Ken Paxton because he's essentially invincible at this point financially.

And so like that's something that snowballs and people don't get better. John Coran and I mean, he was never great, but he certainly did not get better. And now he has a fraction of a billion dollars to throw at his opponent who's objectively a better candidate. And so I think you're actually kneecapping the ability of good incumbents to hold these people accountable. I mean, in my race,

I got out spent 13 million dollars, like 10 to 1 initially. And it was just because the guy had

access to the appropriations committee and to all the big packs and super packs and everything like that.

“He was able to throw all that money at me. And I think if you start holding these people accountable”

in the sense that they can't continue to snowball that those resources, things get a little better. Okay. I'm thinking about like AI about using an AI to compile what your district wants. And then so it's easier for you as a candidate to focus on. Because I think what's going to happen is you're going to go to DC and get, I don't know what's going to happen because it's up to you. You know, you're you're you're sovereign, but if there is a temptation to get sucked into DC politics

and like be part of the gang there and then try to blind eye to behind what's the past, you know. My understanding is that the first thing that happens is Mitch McConnell will bite you and then transform you into one of them. Yeah. I have what is it three days to cut off my arm or else. Just tell us if you get you notice all the teeth marks on the inner form of all new members of Congress. So I mean he needs to wake up first. And so if you like, hey, don't do that,

which is like, well, all the Congress people pretty much, there's a re they go there and they get involved with political, you know, federal politics. If we had an easier way to compile what the districts want need using like an AI or some sort of setting up. I'm not discounting AI is a tool. Like I maybe I came off as a bit of like a lot of it a second ago, but like I understand the utility of AI in that regard. But at the same time, I just, I don't know, especially what I'd

like to do is kind of approach the problem from the other side of things when it comes to, because I know I guarantee any DC staff are watching this. They've used AI to summarize bills and they've used AI to figure out, okay, I have a 500 page bill on the table. ChatGPT, what does this say? Summarize this in 500 words. I guarantee that's happening. Let's approach it from the other side and stop having these 4,000 page bills. Like, let's start going back to like a couple of page

bills that any reasonable human can actually read and understand, because otherwise, it's just staffer Slop. It was Matt Gates was obsessive about getting rid of the omnibus bills. Matt Gates, it was a big deal and then he, he left and you're the first person that's mentioned it since that's tangentially close to Congress, I agree. These, these omnibus 800 page bills, I mean, I think it should be a felony to vote on something you didn't read, you know, swear on God that you

read this bill, if you're going to put it. They should have to swear under oath that they read and affirm knowledge of the bill and what they're voting for. Most of DC's going to go to prison. Yes. Yeah. All right. Yeah. This is, well, I mean, to be fair, I mean, the first time I met Matt Gates, I was asked by his staff to fly in and testify in front of a congressional field hearing on ATF overreach. And I think it was like the N, the ATF act, which if I'm not mistaken was either

like a one or two page bill. I read it while I was sitting there waiting to testify on it.

“That's why, why can't we do that? I don't understand, fork into a one or two page bill. Come on.”

Well, that's probably why they don't do it. It purely for off-use station.

Well, no, no, here's what I don't understand. When they bring in the omnibus,

lift it up and just slide in a one page like a man. Because nobody reads it and they're going to be like, wait, what happened? And he's going to be like, I got you. I mean, that's one of the things that Congress likes about the omnibus bills, right? Like they can go ahead and slide something in. And it gives him cover. They can say, well, you know, I had to vote for the omnibus bill, because all of these good things wouldn't have happened. So this bad thing that you don't like,

we had to vote, yes, on it because it was an omnibus bill. And it gives him cover to vote, yes, on things that are bad. My pitch to Thomas Massey was because he said they was able to get an amendment into an omnibus. There's like a year and a half years ago. That said, if they didn't pass a budget, they would reduce all existing budgets by one person or something. And everybody in Congress is like, oh, that's meaningless because we'll just pass another, you know,

omnibus or whatever, we'll get the budget done. And so when they didn't, and everything dropped

“a point, he was like, that's how you do it. And my pitch was using something like that where they'll”

make a concession. Can you orchestrate this kind of like, how would you describe this series of bills, sleeper bills that, oh, oh, we would call this a voltron law. Each individual component of the law does very little. And most people don't care. But when all of them get activated, then they abolish the NFA or something. The omnibus of Exodia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When the five single page bills come together, guns, all guns are now legal. And everything else is removed. Are you going to

pass legislation? You want to pass in Congress? There's a lot of priorities. I mean, specifically in my district and some that apply nationally that that I'd love to get done. But one of them, I mean, again, comes down to border is codifying a lot of the stuff that President Trump has done to solve the border crisis because my god, I mean, I can't paint in this district last cycle. And I talk to the sheriff. I talk to a lot of the border patrol and national guard guys

deployed on the border off the record. And tirely off the record, just listening to the actual

problems that they were dealing with. And now campaigning in this district for the second time,

it's night and day. I mean, it is, it's a complete shift. I mean, a lot of this problems went away. The only problem I have with it is a lot of it was done with executive order. And if it's done with executive order, that was one stroke of a pen made it go away. If we get another, you know, another Democrat president at some point, which we will, it will happen eventually. If one stroke of a pen made it go away, one stroke of a pen can make it come back.

“I have a pitch that I assure you all of a sudden, home is not a joke. I believe that”

Congress, members of Congress, maybe you were Thomas Mexico to this, present a bill for mandatory gun ownership, make it a requirement that people in guns and I see you laugh. Because it is kind of crazy, right? And we would all love the idea. But the actual strategy is to force the debate in the other direction. So instead of constantly having a debate over which guns should get banned this time, the debate should start with the Republican saying, we're going to make it mandatory for

everybody above the age of 18 to own a gun, you are required to go to the department of gun

services, the DGS, where you will then fill out the paperwork, like basically just here's why I am,

so that you can get your one side arm and long gun, everyone must do it. Then when Democrats say you're crazy, say, okay, how about we just go with don't ban guns? So it's an overton window shift. Yes. So that the, well, I do laugh, but there is actually, I think there's at least two states that have a county that did something similar. I think one of them's Georgia and the other's Tennessee, I could be, could be wrong on that, but they did it. They don't enforce it, but they

put it out there because they're, they're saying like this is our local crime prevention, like this is your, your responsibility. It's in the, the verbiage of the second man. But I just, just think about amazing. It would be right that you're driving your car and you get pulled over and the cop says license insurance and proof of gun ownership. And then you're like, I don't have an on me. It's like, sir, are you driving without a firearm? It's like, I am. I'm after I just take it

for that. You can't, you can't do it. I could have had somebody coming up behind me. Where are you? I need you to pretend to help. I don't, I don't actually think it would be good to force

“everybody to have guns. I think you should be choice. But the general argument is, every time”

the Republicans are always engaging the Democrats on their territory. Yeah. They will say, hey,

we're going to ban, I don't know if you guys remember this, but it was something like eight years ago, Democrats in DC proposed a bill to ban every semi-automatic gun. Yeah. 100% of them. Look at what they're doing in Virginia right now. It's a very, very, very, pretty basically banning literally every gun. And the Republicans argue with, well, well, hold on, let us keep these guns. Like, you're negotiating with them from extreme position. Let's go extremely other direction,

and then meet in the middle. Yeah. Like, I will never forgive. Like, and, you know, the NRA leadership has changed a lot since then. They seem to be going in a much more based direction, which I'm, I'm, I'm thankful for. I'd like to see some results. But I will never forgive them for capitulating on the, uh, the Bumpfire stocks and whatnot. Like, when, uh, the push was coming from the Democrats, uh, to my understanding, they were the ones advocating behind the scenes, like,

oh, well, what if we just allow this to be banned? It's like, don't know, you should be fighting for us.

But now they're doing, uh, was it the fixed reset triggers? How does called?

For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. Those are, uh, those banned now. The Supreme Court's already decided on that. So I'm not sure what the actual language in the bill would be to get them to, to pass legislation that wouldn't happen. I mean, is that banned? No, no, it's been going on. No, no, no, no, no, no. Right now, we'll because it, if you actually look at the, the letter of the law, when it comes to a machine gun, it is, uh, a weapon that fires more than one

round purple of the trigger and because the forced reset triggers forcing the reset, meaning that the

“trigger resets and you have to pull the trigger again, your own force of the trigger pull is pulling the trigger.”

If they wanted to amend the NFA and make that a machine gun, they'd have to get it passed through Congress. But as it stands, it does not meet the definition of a machine gun. Therefore, they're all legal and man, this is, that's the new wild west in the gun right now. I mean, to be clearly honest, the technology is out there for some pretty wild weapons, uh, rail guns have been around for a very long time. And I, I've noticed, uh, a lot of the laws that run the books for ammunition,

specifically, uh, reference like combustion of some sort, or, or, or powder, whatever. But what's the stop person from just making a, a rail gun with bolts? Probably technical knowledge. But general real question for you, Brandon, because you're, you know, aka guy is your handle on Twitter and like, you're notoriously a gun rights activist at what point do the second amendment, kind of be like, do, should I have a nuclear ballistic warhead that I can carry around and,

in, like, accidentally drop us around and we're real quick, and I'll add one more to it.

“Sure. I'll also depleted uranium rounds. Where's the line? What do you think?”

So that there's also all sorts of stuff that's technically banned that civilians have access to just because of stuff that's falling off the truck. You see it at gun shows and different things like that. Oh, that's kind of like, yeah, you know, it's, it's one of those like,

there's never been a legal determination on it. So like, it just kind of, because it's never been

commercially for sale. It's only been military. Uh, a lot of the, the die hard gun nuts will know kind of the stuff that I'm talking about. Uh, but a lot of people don't know that there's actually an ATF form, specifically. So like when you do E file, uh, so I'm getting kind of a little technically in the weeds here, but you do like a form two, form three, form four, um, online through the ATF. On their own website, there is a drop-down option, and I do not know what it is for. I do not know

the use case for this. There is a drop-down option for nuclear. Yeah. So that is a thing. Like, there is an actual ATF form. There's licensing for it for whatever reason. But, well, I would imagine, you know, Lockie at a Raytheon or whoever is developing U.S. News is going to submit a form for. I'm going to, like, all right. I kind of feel like when you're at that level, it's rubber stamped. The president's involved in that. Right. Oh, no. I can only imagine the approval process.

But if only the I told a new that he could just move to the United States and then do the form. But let me ask you in terms of, uh, restrictions are going to rise. What, what about depleted uranium rounds? It's a billions be allowed to, to purchase things like that? I, I just don't, I don't see the argument against. I mean, would I want to put that anywhere near any vital part of my body? Absolutely not. Um, but I mean, it doesn't, it's not really useful for anything like anything that

people would be concerned about. It's not very useful for it. I am on the opinion that, uh, private citizens and entities in the United States are legally allowed should be legally allowed to own nuclear weapons. Only hold on. I'll clarify because all the lips freak out when I say this because it is constitutionally protected and we have not amended the constitution as such. I don't think people should be able to get nuclear weapons. However, technology has outpaced the perception, uh,

our, our, our, our understanding of, of arms weapons, et cetera. And so the liberals have to make

the argument, the finding fathers never, uh, could never have thought about a semi-automatic,

which is just plumb not true. Yeah. They had, um, when the 1300s, they had that multi-barrel gun, you pull, you pull the rope. I mean, several of the founding fathers invested in the technology that eventually led to things like the garlic gun. Like this was a thing that was kind of, it was on, it was on the table. That being said, nuclear weapons is something different. Yeah. But they did know and actually required, uh, the services of private years with the most advanced weapon. Really,

I mean, imagine if there was like an aircraft clear floating around that was just owned by some guy and he's just like a, like Jeff Bezos buys an aircraft carrier and just man's it and he's got

“weapons and he's got, you know, a couple of nukes on it. That's how it used to be. And so”

until we amend the constitution and say, the right of people who can bear arms can not be infringed, except if it is considered to be a weapon of mass destruction, which includes, then my opinion is the government restricting people from having access to it as an infringement on our rights and it is a duty of the people to amend the constitution as the founding fathers have laid out if they would like to change that. Also, I had a pragmatic argument on the nuclear

weapons front, which was, you know, it requires, that's something that has done on a national level. Yeah. That is a massive technological feat. I mean, the Russians had to steal information from us to figure out how to do it after, you know, they had a massive war machine and everything else and a bunch of German scientists. If someone in 2026 had the resources, the ability, the engineering

Dr. Evil style. Your law is not going to stop them. Good law. So if you've got, if you're on

Musk through $8 billion at deciding he wanted to have a nuclear weapon, good luck. What are you going to do, sanction him? So let me ask you real quick, how do you define or how is the word

“arms defined? The right to keep him bare arms, son, up in French. So what does that mean?”

I was a weaponry, you know, that's kind of the way it's implied in the constitution, I think. Anything can be a weapon. Like, what if I took like a can of AF hard shelter and then tied a shoe lace around it and started swinging it around, you know? I mean, that's very biblical. Yeah, the right to keep him bare AF, such as on shoelaces, shall not be in French, huh? Well, I mean, there's also the lie that keeps getting perpetuated by people like Joe Biden.

He was one of the worst. When he told you to shoot a shotgun in the air.

Well, no, the thing is, it's illegal, it was, it's illegal to own a cannon. Like, you've never

been able to own a cannon. I always push back on that. It has never been illegal to own a cannon. It has always, Texas was almost borderline founded on the idea that we're keeping our cannons. Yeah. Like, they, and they used to ask, like, you'd like you brought up the private tears. They would ask privately owned vessels bearing cannons to come help us, you know, mess up some of America's enemies. The head of NASA now owns a MIG. I want to say, I'm not sure what's

29. No, was it, it makes 29? Is it? Yeah. So, I mean, they got four now. Now, let me, let me ask you another question. Um, before we, and we went onto the next story real quick,

“there was a man who famously created a radioactive death ray in his garage. I think you're from”

like the storyfield. Yeah. I'm not going to explain how he did it, but it's actually not very difficult. And the feds came in and we're like, you are irradiating your whole neighborhood with this death ray. People are going to die. So, they arrested him. He was covered in lesions. And they offered him a job. And I said, why don't you do what you're doing? But for us, he said, okay. And he was just nuts, I guess. I don't know. The, the final details about just bread the store

online. And then started doing the same insanity with radiation. So, they eventually said, okay, get out and he got arrested. That's a weapon, right? And now we have the discombobulated ray. Indeed. So, I mean, what, what, what happens to us if people are able to wield compact, deadly weapons? Uh, is, you know, I'm talking about like with high, high risk of collateral damage, like a discombobulator ray or a radiation death beam? And I mean, we saw this all the way back to,

you know, Timothy McVay in Oklahoma City in the 90s. You know, this is one of those things where, and it's going to get worse and worse in that regard where, you know, man made horrors beyond your

“comprehension. I think that there's going to be an issue where technology, like you said,”

outpaces these things. And it will outpace the law. It will outpace, it doesn't matter what you think the law should be if a law is in place, that will not stop it. And that's where I think we have to have a conversation. Agreed. Yeah. Let's talk to this, let's talk to this next story from the newer public. Trump officials are suddenly buying doomsday bunkers completely separately. We are on the 10th day of an ever expanding Iran war. Well, as you already know Trump said,

the war is very nearly complete. So, we'll see if that actually turns out to be true.

The market certainly reacted as though Trump is always telling the truth or at least always

correct. So, they must know something. We got this. They say, at least two members of the president's cabinet have recently purchased bombproof bunkers. Ron Harvard, the creator of Atlas survival shelters, told the telegraph of the weekend that orders have gone up 10 folds since the U.S. in Israel attacked Iran. But among his anxious clientele or two chief members of Trump's team, according to the sheltermaker saying, one of them texted me yesterday asking me,

"When will my bunker be ready?" He told the telegraph. So, these bunkers can range from something like $20,000, we've actually, I think I might have, no, we don't, we're, I have to log in the telegraph to get the photos. But they've got $20,000 tubes that they just lower into the ground. Pretty easy. But then they've got these really amazing pre-constructed bunkers that look like, you know, nice little apartments. Question. Trump, cabinet members buying nuclear

bunkers because they can or because they know something we don't. Because they can. You think? Yeah, I mean, I just bridge people so they're like, I mean, I look, I got money, I'm about a bunker. I mean, well, I mean, I like one. Yeah, not to speak about how much money you do or don't know. I said, I'd like one. That'd be nice. I'm too busy trying to fix things from the inside right now. If I, if I didn't spit on the money, that's not fair, Brendan. Once you

get in the Congress, you got Mount Weather and Ravenrock for your bunker. Yeah, just wait, once I'm there and then I start buying a bunker, maybe pay attention. But yeah, I don't know, I, I feel like that's something. You walk out of a skiff and you're like, I can't tell you what went on in that meeting, but I will tell you that Atlas bunkers are the best bunkers. You can actually get, and they have a website. I checked out their website before. They're, I'm pretty sure

state information, I don't think they would be very happy with him saying this to news. Yes,

sources. These are amazing. But yeah, look at this. 25k concrete bomb shelter. Look at this,

one customizable. Do they have like a shelter builder? I'd have to blast if I wanted to put one in New Hampshire though, because there's all the mountains and rock and stuff up there. Is this a sponsored bit? No, it's not. Okay. That's a case. I mean, I would be totally down. Yeah, like there, there, YouTube page is pretty sick. Plus you could air be and be it out. Look at this. It's worth a thousand dollar bunker. Like, why buy a house, dude? Just for the

sunlight to put on top of it. So no one knows your bunkers. You know, it would be a really cool idea, though, is you can get mountainside property really cheap because it's hard to do anything with, right? And so I was like, what if we took one of these 250k bunkers and dug it into a mountain nest? So one side is just overlooking the, you know, the beauty, there's a river down there,

a stream or whatever. And then you actually set it up so that there's a gigantic concrete set

bury it separate. It's so a portion of it is sheltered. The other portion is exposed and open.

“So what you need to do is find some, uh, you go to New York, find some Islamists, uh, Islamic”

extremists that have TATP that can pull a hole in the side of the mountain for you. There you go. And then you can build your, your dream bunker. Dude, you could do like a bunch of them next to each other and build either a city or build tunnels between them and have just like a mega lapolis and the side of a mountain. Well, part of the reason why you build, part of the, one of the things that people like about building bunkers is is anonymity. They, they like that people don't

know where it is. Keep it secret because ostensibly in the end of the world scenario. If you have a bunker and your neighbor doesn't, you neighbor might want to try and come and get into your younger. I was thinking of that idea. That guy who was like, and the world scenarios got all the money in the world. He's got all the arm guards in the world and then the world ends and he's underground with all his arm guards and the arm guards like, why are we dealing with this guy?

That's actually, I think, part of the plot of the horizon series. Oh, no, I've heard about, I've heard that, you know, mind experiment before that like, if you, you know, you hire a guy or gun. One of those, one of those, because money meant something. Now that money means nothing, I'm the guy with a gun. Yeah. I mean, they're in the bunker with you. So, you know, you know, depends on what your skills are. The funny thing is, I, I imagine most billionaires

don't have functional skills for survival. Maybe presumptuous of me to say, but probably the I imagine farmers are going to be the, well, prepers are obviously going to be the ones who survive any kind of real nuclear strike or apocalypse or whatever. But outside of anyone who's specifically preparing for the end of times, farmers probably would do the best hunters, people who naturally have basic survival. I imagine a tech billionaire would be completely useless. Now to be fair,

“they're smart. You know, get to these places without being smart. And technology is important.”

The question is, how is, how would Elon apply his knowledge in a situation where it's like seven dudes in the middle of a, of field? Cities gone. There's no fuel. Cars aren't running. And they're like, okay, we got to survive. To be fair, that's exactly the kind of person I would trust to rebuild this society. But rebuild society, yes, when you have scale, but what if you're just seven guys in the middle of the woods? Well, then I, you're gonna be, look, someone's got to find

water, someone's got to build shelter and someone's got to find food. At that point, his food is your food. Exactly. But you got to protect him too, because you're like, look, on the off chance that we do make it out of this, you're going to be rebuilding society for us. So I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't necessarily agree with that. You just, let's start with that. No, I, I, while I certainly respect that someone like Elon or Bezos there intelligent individuals who are able to build systems,

it doesn't mean they're good with people in building policy and governance or anything like that.

“No, I think outside of like a fallout style bunker where you have an actual functioning society with”

a lot of people that you could trust. Okay, when we go top side, we have something that we can actually rebuild with. I'm not sure I'd want to survive. That's a situation that I would need a nuclear fallout bunker. I, I think I'm good, frankly. Yeah, you turn to a ghoul, you know, and then you live forever, but you're all weird looking, your nose falls off. Heaven's pretty cool. So I'm kind of with you on that. Heaven is pretty cool. Yeah, it sounds neat from everything I've heard about it. It sounds

much preferable. Well, you know, when I was a kid, my dad, he was always full of fun, little,

hypotheticals. And one he said to me was, if you saw a nuclear bomb coming down right there in the sky, what would you do? And I was like, run. And he goes, yeah, which direction? And I was like, away? No, you run towards it. Because you don't want to be caught in the searing flesh and painful death zone. You want to be in the instantly vaporized zone. What a cheery man, he was. And you'd always be like, we'd walk into a restaurant, where are you exits it?

It was a brain. So you walk in and go there and there's like, that's right, and a firefighter,

where the exits are. There was one crazy video where a fire started in a bar and everybody ran to the front door and got stuck. And then the guy who filmed it calmly walked out the emergency exit and then filmed everybody just stuck in the door because they all pushed each other in and then got, yeah, it's brutal, man. It doesn't surprise me, but it's still just, it's jarring. Yeah,

hmm. They say that when too many humans are in one space, fluid dynamics take over and it's basically

a bunch of water. Oh, I was in the same heat at Mecca. Yeah, I would have already grown St. Louis, and it was like that. It was like getting squeezed and like moved along an ocean of maniacs and I

“peed on a wall, I was so drunk. The cops are like, you can't do that. I think they let me off with a warning.”

That could get to you. They're like, get him. He's floating away. I think he's going to sit up. Oh, I think that was one of the big, God, I could be misremembering this. I think it was in New York or something like that, but there was like a, a attack on, I don't remember who was just a nightclub or like a gay club or something like that. It was one of the biggest mass casualty events because they, they, they lit it on fire. And that was a pulse nightclub. No, no, no, it wasn't a shooting. That was,

it was an actual like fire bombing. Wow. And a lot of people died because they, they couldn't get out.

Dude, fire. Now, what if someone discombobulates like a nightclub and then everyone inside,

that's going like, oh, it knows bleeds and now all of that goes on here. Yeah, they blame the artists that's performing. Do you think the Havana syndrome stuff was like them testing out the discombobulator? I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. I mean, I remember seeing this stuff on like, you know, when I play hokey from school and like watching future weapons, yeah, show like the the sonic weapons they were using for like crowd control and like that's that's the stuff that

we're willing to tell us about on TV 15 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure it's got better. You know, somebody just was really excited to call the discombobulator. Yeah. I thought that that was just Trump kind of riffing. Oh, was it? I don't know for sure. I don't know for sure. I'm sure this got a military designation case. There's going to be some dude who invented something that he calls like the high energy output destruction twice the he odd. And now everyone's like,

how's it discombobulator going? It's like, it's called the he odd. I want to say about these

“guys that are serving with Trump that bought bunkers. I don't think they're panicking. I think”

they are maybe panicking. I don't think that they're actually moving off of like an intelligence that like, there's a threat. I think that these are just a couple of guys that are like, it's cheap. We can do it. They're hitting around right now. What better time? I'd love to know like how many people out of what sample size is this like Trump's two biggest advisors or is this like out of 500 people attached to the White House, two dudes with money decided we're in a conflict.

I should have a bunker. You know, it's that I think that's kind of more what we're following. How do you feel about this this conflict? I mean, I will probably pull it up. I don't know if we we really went too hard and around, but like, what are your thoughts on the regime and the Iranian government and how to handle this? It's definitely, I don't know. I hate to be a fence sitter on it. Like, I would prefer a no conflict, frankly, but then you have the other side of the fence where

these guys go, well, what did Iran ever do to us? Like, well, okay, I have a lot. How much time do you have? You know, so like, I don't know. I prefer, like I said, I don't want to get involved in another forever war. I don't think, you know, a lot of the stuff is any of our business, but if we're going to do it, if we have to do it, I don't have access to the intel. I don't know what they're operating on. I prefer it to be fast, cheap, effective, the lowest cost of American life possible.

I don't want to. It's on the ground. What a luck. Real quick, sorry. Don't forget we're going to say, I want to show this map and explain about what it around ever to do us right now, the concerns and the, and the reason price of skyrocketing is because the straight of horror moves is under threat by Iran. And you've got these Gulf states. You got Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates. You've even got Oman, and the Saudis, and they, there's a lot of oil here, 20% of oil and natural gas. They want to get

“out to the rest of the world to do business with. You are allowed to sell stuff. That's what they're doing.”

So Iran right here, the whole time is basically been saying, we will blow you up unless we get what we want.

At a certain point, everybody's just like, dude, these A holes need to be stopped. I am not advocating for anything that we didn't Iran because my concerns are instability in the region, and that could screw the whole thing up even more. My point is only to say that when you have a bunch of different countries that sell 20% of natural gas and oil to the rest of the world, and they're constantly under threat of being blown up by Iran, unless we give Iran free stuff like pallets

of cash. Yeah. So we're later, sooner or later, you get an Obama who says, okay, Iran, what do you want? Just don't screw with the oil trade. And so he gives him a bunch of money. Then you get a Trump who says, I'll just kill you, and they're like, well, we can make no excuse, but I'll kill you faster. So you pick your leader, right? One leader is going to try and bribe him and pay him off. Doesn't seem to work. They keep blowing up our people. They keep threatening the straight

Trump's the kind of guy who's going to press the button. So it is what it is. Right now, we've been seeing reports that ships have been turning off their transponders and moving through the straight to four moves and then turning them back on to try and get past Iranian missile strikes. That's insane. I look, if whatever the issue is I'll put it like this, call the United States bad for whatever it does in Afghanistan, Iraq, find. Call Iran bad.

There are other countries involved that are pissed off that Iran is shutting down the straight. And more importantly, when the strikes happened, Iran started bombing Bahrain Cutter in the Emirates, and other countries who did not engage in hostilities against them.

“The House of American military bases. I think was their justification.”

That may be for some, but why bomb a hotel? Again, they're in lies, the problem. If they bombed the military bases, which they did, you'd say, oh, wow, this is war. When they start striking hotels and apartment buildings, you're like, what they're trying to do is get the people. This is what terrorists. They want the people in these countries to get angry that they're being targeted in the war.

So that they go to their governments and put pressure on the government, so that the government goes easier on Iran. Yeah. And I think all those governments knew that because the media were like, all right, we're declaring war on Iran. Yeah, you've done a missile and we're a care side in territory. Like I said earlier, Iran's been a thorn in the side of multiple countries. Not just the US, not just Israel.

Like the entire Middle East is basically worried about what Iran's going to do.

They're the only state sponsor of terrorism in the world. They're the only Shiite Muslim country in the area. Everybody else is Sunni. So they're at odds in that aspect. So I mean, look, they're not friendly with most of the countries that are, you know, that we, we mentioned so far. And they're most, you're just very kind of a government because the people are mostly, I don't even think the majority of the population is Muslim and Iran. Someone was telling me, yeah, they're there. They're there.

Is it literal majority of the government? Oh, yeah, yeah, the government. It's, it's Islamic Republic of Iran. The government, the government, but the people themselves are like, they were free, you know, and they were all the same. They were fairly secular for a good, good amount of time. Like if you look back at pictures of Iranian, 99% of my college isn't like 50, 60 years. They were, Dan Holloway was telling me it's that they're, they're Persian first. Most of them are

Persian first and Muslim seconds. They're, they're religion is Islam, but they're, they're generally secular Muslims. They're not particularly religious. I'm kind of dancing around this question, which I was going to ask you before Tim asked me to remember it is, you said, we got to do this, we need to protect American lives at all costs, but like that can get very broad all, the all,

at all costs metaphor because would you incinerate a million Iranian civilians? Because here,

“well, I think you're, you're kind of mistaking what I was saying. I was saying, if we have to do this,”

let's do it quickly to the least amount of American lives. If it was up to me, like if I had a vote right now, based on the information that I have, which granted us less than they have, not sure if that changes anything, I would vote no. If I was asked if we were going to declare war in Iran, if we would go in ground invasion or like declare an official war, I would vote no. I think we've, you know, I'm typically an anti-war hawk kind of guy, not the way I'm going to do it.

However, I feel like my policy on it is very much to make a weird analogy. It's like the Bilber bit about like no reason. It's like, well, okay, should, should we do it? No, but no reason? Yeah, I think I'm more irritated by the arguments against it where they're saying, well, these are just

poor. They've never done anything to us. I'm like, well, all right, well, I'll get to you in a minute.

That was retarded. Yeah. It's a, it's a rock and a hard place because the, the issue is, and I think, you know, I, I like it. It's up. It's not just the straight-of-war moves. It's also that Iran's been funding the Houthi rebels and Yemen who have been bombing the Red Sea down here where the ships are trying to come on in to the Red Sea where they head up through the Suez, get to the Mediterranean. Iran has basically been disrupting a massive amount of global trade and Obama tried

driving them. If we give them some money and tell them to chill out, but they have not chilled out. Attacking us in Iraq, I get the United States should not have been in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“And I, I got to be honest, I think the, the point of going to Iraq and Afghanistan was largely”

to stage a pincers strike around Iran. You know, we've got military bases all along the edges, but Iran has been, look, at any point, if Iran was like, no, no, we're not going to interfere with global trade. No one cares about Iran anymore. Yep. So for that matter, if we zoom over here, I'll tell you all about Trump's interests. So here we have Nicaragua. China was trying to build the Nicaraguan Canal. They wanted to build it straight through here and it would have disrupted.

I believe it was whatever this is like cookie bulkas that would just, or it might have actually been up here. But they wanted to build a canal that would compete with the Panama Canal. And this is

The reason why Trump wanted Panama back, the reason why Trump wants control of the

straightaway moves. He wants Iran shut down, basically. The reason he wants Greenland,

it's all about controlling international waterways for trade for oil. The United States tells the world one thing. You will use the US dollar for all oil purchases, which means our economy is going to be great no matter what, because you got to use our money to buy oil, which means you got to come to us first. However, they say, in exchange, you will be able to freely trade around the world without someone blowing you up. We'll go after the pirates. We will police

the seas. This is, I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm saying this is the mechanism of the United States and why we have a strong economy despite not producing as much as other countries do relatively. We have the Petro dollar system. So when you get countries complaining, we can't ship goods with the Red Sea anymore because of the Houthi rebels. Trump goes to Iran and says, are you going to stop arming these guys who are blowing up civilian transport? And they go,

maybe give us money. And Trump says, no, I'll kill you. When they threaten the straight of Formus, Trump's not playing a game like Obama says, no, I'll kill you. Now, if you're not a fan

of the Team America world police stuff, that opinion was always allowed, I am not telling you

“you should support any of this. I'm telling you, this is the mechanism by which all of this is”

happening. The reason why they're doing it. Yeah, I mean, I think that that it's pretty clear that America lives or the living standard that Americans have is because of the Petro dollar. And if we were to change that system, it would be a massive change in the living standard of all Americans. And as much as people say, oh, I don't want to see the U.S. to be the world police, as long as the U.S. is the world police, we should continue to do things that will try to keep

the U.S. living standard as high as possible because you think that the poverty's bad and other countries, if the Petro dollar goes away, you're going to see a significant decrease in living standard. That means the poor are the ones that are going to be hurt the most here in the U.S. And I've got to give a shout out to my boy Nick, the fat electrician in real quick, because he had a very good video breaking down the history of why America went after Greenland.

“And just the long story of history since just after I believe this civil war,”

attempting to purchase the Greenland territory and the reasons that we had interest there, especially with the strike capabilities later on, and decreasing our strike time to places like Russia and everywhere else and just having that ability. Because I think we came to a terror, we came to an agreement after the end of World War II. Because during World War II, obviously, you know, they were overtaken and we had placed American bases in Greenland itself.

And so I just think that the United States is the nexus of good and morale has never done anything wrong

and for that matter, if the U.S. does it, it is good. That's just, it's the definition. It's magic. I have a bit more of a nuanced take. I do think that the liberal economic order that is overseeing this, you know, elusive global takeover is the least worst global order we've ever seen in human history. It's been 80 years of no-world war, limited the internet, the amount of people are, there hasn't been a family. It hasn't been a family in like 80 years. I don't think there's

been a family like 150 or the United States. If that, maybe even more, ever in the United States. So it's pretty impressive. Like if we can stabilize and you know, develop our drone delivery systems so that we can spread resources out, I think this system could work. Well, so I actually was having this conversation the other day because I'm like, look, is America perfect? No, absolutely not. Nobody, nobody ever has been. But I think that right now the United States,

as it stands, in possibly the history of humanity, has the most power like the most might to good ratio, like to, to, to freedom of its individual citizens, to how little we leverage it against the world for nefarious purposes. I think this is probably, again, the most power to good ratio that has ever existed on planet earth. Yeah, I mean, essentially, if you, if you, if you put the kind of military might the US has in the hands of, oh, I don't know the hons,

you know, I think the, or any of my, I have a question. I brought this up this morning. It was a hypothetical, on Reddit. They have these hypothetical scenarios. They ask, then you comment. And it is this. The question is for you, Mr. Riera. Uh, you wake up one day with all the powers of Superman. You are super strong. You can fly. You can shoot lasers and breathe cold for whatever reason. And, uh, all that good stuff. However, once per year, a random person on earth

could be in any country anywhere will also get these powers. You are informed of full year in

“advance who that person will be. And the only way to stop them from being the powers is to kill them”

before they do. What do you do? Does that save? Does that stop it from going to a random different person after that? Well, so the idea is, on January 1st, a random person in the world will

January 1st, there'll be one more person. So it's one person per year. Got it. And the, the hypothetical

scenario is will you kill them to prevent them from getting Superman powers as Superman? Do you also have those powers? Well, they have them. Yes. So people will just start popping up and getting them all over the world if you do nothing. Hmm. I don't like that. That's a very, very rough moral question. Because I mean, the, the obvious, the, I mean, the mathematical answer that is at some point. Somebody's going to have those powers and use it to kill thousands of people. So it's

like, all this is, it's like a Reddit version of the trolley problem. Right. Exactly. Yeah. That's about it. Yeah. It is interesting question as it pertains to war and two powers because you look at it from the perspective of not Superman, but you're a global world dominating, hegemonic power. You know, another country is rapidly gaining power. Yeah. You can blow them up right now to prevent them from doing it. However, if you don't, they will rival you then. And now there will be, that's,

essentially, what the scenario is meant to be. The challenge with this, the Superman question is that what if it's an Islamic extremist? And now he's immortal invincible and he's going to start mass occurring not thousands, but millions of people. And you can't stop him because you only match him. You'll be locked in a fight endlessly and the collateral damage will probably still make the millions. And so that the, the, the ultimate question is, I feel like this is a question

to try and explain geopolitics at a grand scale to children. Okay, a redditers, adult men who have the mentality of children. The fuck is pop breed. He ended. It would be a good plot for a super villain. Oh, bro, he would just cut, he would be like, okay. And they're like, why are you doing this? And it's like, you don't understand. I have to. And he's psychotic. He's lost his

“mind. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Saving the world, you have to be Superman, meaning you're super”

speed. So it's two in the morning, whatever country they're in, you flash into their room, laser beam into their eyes and then flash out and then people come into the morning and the person's just dead. When you're super man, you don't have to explain yourself. I would try. But then at the end of your, my life is super man. They'd be like, oh, yeah, by the way, it was all lie. They were all going to be just normal people. And now you're changing the, you're killing

you're ruining the plot twist of your own movie. I should do that in the movie. Actually, that is a great plot twist where the guy tells people you don't understand if I don't do this, they will develop powers. And then we will have super powered terrorists. You can't control the three weeks away

from Superman. Yeah, and then finally in his deathbed. He's like, I made it all up. I just wanted to

kill somebody. Just like killing. There, he's got to be on my way. He's three weeks away. Okay, let's do it. That's a funny movie. And now he'd be like the villain. He wouldn't be the main character, but that would be his motivation. The villain. He's just a serial killer. He makes a fake excuse.

“Well, that's what the United States basically has been doing. They stop down on anybody that's”

starting to rise up and then if they get too far too fast, like North Korea, they just don't stop down because they got intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles. Let's listen to this real quick and and let's talk about that in Trump, Trump floats friendly takeover of Cuba. But says it may not be friendly either. Let's admit it's my birthday and the only thing I've ever wanted ever my whole life. I remember being a little kid sitting in my living room just looking out the window at the stars

in the sky thinking, I just want to conquer Cuba. And now on this, my 40th birthday, Trump has floated a not so friendly takeover, Mr. President, thank you so much. It's all I ever wanted. Do you agree, shall we invade and conquer Cuba? I would like to see Cuba as part of the American Empire. I don't like calling, I shouldn't call an Empire because that's kind of tongue-in-cheek. I would like to see Cuba not under the control of communist dictators. Well, they don't have any

power right now. They like to see their control. But, but of anyone, I'd like to see them sovereign citizens in Cuba with a right Puerto Rico style. Perhaps, yeah, gun rights, property rights,

“the right to freedom of speech to speak out against your government. And if you want to participate in”

United States, like I'm willing to obey, I love those people for sure. I like that joke where it was like water boarding at Guantanamo Bay sounds really fun until you read about it. Until you know what, either of those two things are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and water boarding at Guantanamo Bay. I don't know, I think we might have squander that one in the Spanish American war. Yeah, one of those, I don't think that the U.S. is going to actually need to take Cuba.

If I understand the news reports coming out, they have an ad power in something like a week and the people are rising up like, like people are rising up like, like America says, you know, said they were going to rise up in Iraq or say they were going to rise up in Iran. The government's going to collapse literally pissed. Cutting off taking Maduro and

seizing back our oil assets in Venezuela, Cuba is now cut off from oil. And so the people are basically at

this point saying, I don't care who the boss is. I care about who's got the oil. Think about, that's the ease way to conquer nation. The people are probably saying, I don't care if you think you're in charge. They're good. Listen, you put it like this. You work for a company and you got a boss who's like, if you quit, I'll sue you under contract. And then all of a sudden the the paychecks come in. You're like, I don't care what you do at this point. You're not paying me.

entity wants to pay you a bigger contract, you're like, why am I still taking this,

give me something. Like, what is the purpose of me staying in this contract anymore? You've been fucking me over for 80 years Castro. So, Raul, what is like 90? No, it's not there anymore. Well, it's his brother. Is it Raul? No, it's, uh, what a me get. Me get. It's a new guy. Me get. Yeah, they're done. The Castro regime was all that country had holding it together. Yeah. And the oil. Well, if you look at the, you look at the, I want to just stress this to the, uh, the people in

chat who are like, oh my god, Tim is a cultist for Trump. No, you're, you're a really low IQ person. So for that, I apologize for your not understanding what was meant to be facetious. I don't think

“the US should invade Cuba. That was the joke. Yeah. I don't think it needs to invade Cuba. I think”

the Cubans have long wanted away from that communistic dictatorship. And now with their oil

supplies running out, they see de facto. It's who's in charge. It's looking like the up and

Venezuela was successful on multiple fronts. It got Maduro, the current Venezuela regime. Yeah, well, the current, yeah, the current Venezuela government is looking to normalize relations. If I understand correctly, the vice president there is saying that she's going to work with the United States. Uh, and it's also looks like it's going to take Cuba out. I also saw bets on the, the state of the union as to whether or not Trump was going to parade out Maduro behind him on a chain. Yeah,

I want to see, I want to see him come out with like the gimp mask from, uh, Pulp fiction, you know, bring out the gays interview with Alex Jones. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, look, Cuba is a, Cuba's been a communist country for, I don't know how many years. And if the communist rule ends there, that's a good thing. I think it's a little bit of good thing. Can you imagine if before all this is done, if Trump pulls off in Iran, what he pulled off in Venezuela,

this is the thing I'm saying, like, you know, I was asked by a report at the Wall Street Journal, how I felt about, you know, the attacks on Iran the war. And I said, I'd advise against it. I wouldn't

“vote to support it. I oppose it. And I think it's because we are a, we have post intervention,”

stress disorder as millennials from Iraq and Afghanistan. We, and, and not to mention the stories of Vietnam, we do not trust that these operations are going to play out the way they claim they will, nor do we trust the reasons for going and doing it. That being said, if Trump is able to pull off a regime change without a ground invasion in Iran, which would surprise them, maybe could, people are going to be very, very happy about it. And so if, when all this is said and done,

Venezuela is looking like, said and done. I mean, it's, it's pretty crazy. If Iran ends at the same way, and then Cuba falls into the US fold, Trump's going to go down in history as one of the greatest present, not the greatest present we've had ever. At that point, it becomes a legacy play. Yeah, certainly. I mean, I mean, why he wants to do it all, maybe. You know, with the Abraham Accords, I think Trump very much was like, I can bring peace to Israel, Palestine. Now, I'm not

sure that actually can. But I think Trump is looking at the world stage saying, I can solve this. And perhaps it's ego driven. Perhaps it's, I want to be the guy who did, or maybe it's ego driven in the sense that I'm smarter than you and I can figure it out better than you. Either way, if it happens, I'll be happy. Frankly, I don't care what the rationale is. If he can get it done and objectively good thing, I don't care why he's doing it. If he can get the guy who gets it, it gets

it done, then by all means. You know, if Israel gave Trump a billion dollars personally to bring

peace to the world, I wouldn't care. I don't care the motivation. The point at the point is, think of the most like, I want to overthink again. The most offensive thing, like Trump is secretly getting paid cash in the back room by Israel for foreign policy, that brings peace to the world, ends war and conflict, stabilizes trade relations between a bunch of countries. Why would I be mad? Yeah. I mean, two things can be true. Like you could say that that's an

objectively bad thing to happen. Like that's a bad reason to be doing stuff. A great also saying that a good thing happened because of it. And that's, that's my point. Like what if Trump's motivation for all this world peace is that there's like a small child that he wants to murder just in the middle of to run the tent. That's it. You can be like, this is the, there's like just some little kid. He's on Call of Duty. And he said he's going to bang Trump's mom and Trump was like,

I'm going to find you. And he's like, you can't, I'm in Tehran. He's like, oh yeah. And so he brings peace to the Middle East, stabilizes relations all over the world. And it's all just to, to you try to touch me my dad's the eye at all. Yeah. Give me your bomb is number right now. He was playing, uh, he was, he was playing what, what, what, what, call of duty back in the day, OG. Do you hear those. Yeah, they can. These are old ones to him and buy gold. If you haven't

seen them yet watch those, they're so funny. They're so well done. It's nice to hear them getting

“along. But on the Cuba thing, I think that Marco Rubio has been looking forward to this moment”

for a long time. Yeah. He's just like looking at a picture of Cuba and like like grabbing it. You know, in another reason why, I mean, it's not like, because of Rubio, we seized the defense as well in government or whatever. But putting Rubio there was probably part of the plan to, you know,

Oh, I feel so much better and like safer with him in, in the government was he let him hold you.

“Okay. I was safe in the world. That would be fine. That would be fine. He comes up behind you and he”

just embraces you and you know that you're safe in Marco Rubio's arms. Love you, Mark. He's doing it. I was actually, I found him to be uninspiring in, you know, eight years ago. It was what I heard. Recently, the way he's been handling out of this foreign policy stuff and pressed stuff, I actually think he's not a perfect guy, but he's handled it very professionally, especially considering the political tumult between Democrats and Republicans.

He's played it very professionally. I respect it tremendously. One of my biggest criticisms of

Trump going back to his first campaign was that his lack of decorum. He approaches this from a very

abrasive culture-warri kind of approach. And JD Vans does that as well. Now, I'll give JD Vans some respect in that he's very tactful and academic in his insults. I can respect that. But Rubio has been very, very hard for Democrats to go after because he's kept it very professional and calm. Yeah. He hasn't fired back insults or plenty of this dirty games. I'd imagine if they insulted him in some dramatic way, like with Trump, they called him a racist. Rubio's response would be

like, "Well, I'm terribly sorry if I've done something to give you that impression. It's not my intent." Like he's not going to lash out at him. I mean, we all remember like Markov from like the little Markov, like those days, like every thing. I think uninspiring is probably was a good word from back then, but I honestly like I had my worries about him taking the role that he has, but I think he's I agree with you entirely. He's taken it and he's run with it. He's done a very good

good job. I think it's time in the sense probably helped with that, too. Yeah. Big time, yeah. It was a 2020 run for president in 2012. He was one of the 2016 and maybe before that, I don't know,

he'd been around before that. And I always thought he was a war hawk, but as I've learned more

about global geopolitics and they're like, you can't just never go to war when you have the

“largest military in the planet. You can't just let it all fall apart. I mean, you have to use it,”

use it or lose it. Sometimes you just your board, you know? I mean, I want to be decisive with it. Like, I don't want to just do it for the sake of doing it. And I want to make sure it actually protects American lines or protects American interests. But if somebody screws with us, I want to show them what one trillion dollars a year looks like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I guess the liberals are mad of me because I praised Trump's masculinity on the attack in Iran. My point was not that that I would

call the attacks well advised. I'm skeptical, but hopefully optimistic. But I said that I loved the masculinity of it in that the Iranians came to the negotiating table saying, we have enough

material for 11 bombs. And that's where we're starting the negotiation. And Trump's response was like,

I'll just kill you. Like, again, I'm not saying that means you should go to war. I'm saying that that video of Mark Wayne Mullin and I'll Brian from the team series union is just one of the greatest manliest videos on both parts for both of them. I give them both respect. You know, I'm talking about Mark Wayne Mullin is like, he's like reading, he's like, after you left here, Mr. O'Brien, he's a president of Team Strington. He's like, you were mouthing off on Twitter. It's like one of the

posts. Oh, yeah, where he threatened to throw down. Well, he, he, he, as consenting adults made the offer to throw down. And O'Brien says, let's go. And then he gets up and goes to pull his ring off. And I'm like, we need the men back in the room. So, so funny story about that. I was in DC, like a block away when that happened. As I'm looking on my phone and watching this, I'm like, man, I could have had front row seats that as you have see fight this year. But I got it. I got it.

So, so Mark Wayne Mullin reads the tweet, where he's like, you know where I am anytime, any place. And then he goes, this supplies. Now's a time. We can be too concerning adults. And then, and then, and then O'Brien goes, okay. And he's like, stand your bottom. As you stand your bottom, he goes, all right. And then he stands up and goes to pull his wedding ring off. And then Bernie Sanders ruined all the way to him. And while you let it stuck,

“if I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, I think that he probably should have”

read up on Mullin's combat sports. Yeah, that guy knows how to throw down. I think he's too, but two, two, one technical knockout and then two by decision. My, my, no, I thought it was a mission. I thought he was a motion. I thought he was a motion. I thought he was a motion. I thought he was a motion. He had TKO and two submissions. Okay, way better.

It was on bar. But again, you shouldn't be fighting in Congress. Okay. And you shouldn't do it. As much as you want to. But I'm just saying, like, I am sick of this pencil and that quality, toyty buttoned up. Oh, you know, like, we need strong, decisive men to say, do not have with me. You know, this is very real quick. Just final point. What, what, what is Trump say? It's, uh, uh, uh, I forgot the phrase, but like, uh,

deterrence through strength or whatever. He's doing strength. He's through strength. The idea is, I like the story of the guy who's taking a bar, minding his own business, having a drink,

And the guy says, listen, I'm, I apologize. I'm not interested. I'm going to, I'm going to be on my way.

“But then when they finally don't let the guy, it turns out he's much more badass than he beats them all up.”

You know what I mean? Yeah. I love the movies where the action hero is going, you don't want to fight me, dude. I'm going to leave here. We don't need to do this. But the bad guys are the ones who are like, you, you think you stick to me. And then the good guy shows restraint, honor. You know what? The best example of this is a Bronx tale. You know, that scene,

seen in the Bronx tale. I'll, I will cite it 50 billion times, add nausea for everybody. So it's, uh,

I'll give you the quick version. My bus. Here's motorcycles. All Regrecris walks to the bar. He says, what's the problem? And the bar then says they're not properly dressed. They can't, they can't drink here. And the biker leader says, a look, man, we just want to be here. Just one beer will be on our way. And then Sonny goes, spoken like a gentleman, give them in their beers. So the mob boss is like, I'm going to be, you, you respect me. I respect you, right? Then they shake the beers up and spray

everybody down. And then Sonny goes, once again, honorably, okay, now he's got to go. And they say, F, you F off. Then he walks over, closes the door and locks it. Turns around and says, now he, now he's, now he's can't leave. And then the narrators like at that moment, they knew they after up. And the back door pops up and all the good old boys come up with guns and bats and beat

the crap out of the bikers. Yeah. The reason I love that story, they, he said, spoken like a gentleman.

These men were polite, but not properly addressed. So he said, I will treat you with respect.

“They then chose to disrespect him. And he still showed restraint and said, now you need to leave.”

And when they still decide that he says, okay, and they got, they beat the crap out of these guys. That's what it means to be a man. You're able to, but you show restraint because you want to keep the piece and protect those around you. But when, when, when the bad, when bad and evil comes, uh, look on that corner, you are, you are willing, ready and able to stop it. I think. Oh, what's that? Sorry. I just, like, the, like, the biblical interpretation of,

oh, the meek shell and hair at the earth. It's like, well, the, one of the translations that I was hearing was, uh, it's not meek as in, like, weak, uh, you know, it was more of the, those who carry swords, but choose to keep them sheathed. This is the reserve at Julius Caesar. I believe this is what he was, he was the guy. He was the meek one. He had all his legions up north. All this territory and the Senate started getting very afraid that he was going to betray them. So they're like, we're just

strip him of all his land and all his all his soldiers. And he's like, you, you know, I'm not giving the power up. He's, he's, he's the man in situation. These pencil neck, paper pushes are trying to control the world with bureaucracy. And he's like, no, I'm not giving you back. He comes down to Rivera, you know, close to Rome with one Legion and is there to make a negotiation. I just want one province in Croatia and one Legion. He had 10. He was giving up nine tenths of his army,

just to go govern some simple thing and serve Rome and they still wanted his stuff and wouldn't let him. And finally, he was like, you leave me no choice. And that's the story of Julius Caesar. Cross. I love it. That's, so, so I got, I got ragged on by the liberals. They're like,

Kim, think it's masculine. It got a war. Yes, I do. Indeed. Does it mean you always do it? The fight,

the fight you've won is a fight you can avoid, right? That's the saying. So you don't go looking for trouble, but you are damn well prepared to solve the trouble if it comes looking for you. 100%. And like, that's something that a lot of veteran friends of mine, veteran advocate friends of mine

“say, if you want to help combat veterans, make less of them. You know, you don't want to go to war”

for no reason. You know, that there's a lot of baggage that comes with it, not only American lives, but a lot of the things that they had to go through and a lot of the things that you still have to take care of afterward. That being said, like you should always be prepared for it when the necessity comes. Again, if you want to screw with us, we will show you what one trillion dollars a year looks like. Or what they won't even see it. That's the crazy part of this. Still haven't seen what they're doing.

We just don't want you to come. And I just have to tell you the issue I take with the attacks on Iran are less to do with that we're going to war, but that we do not have a good track record on regime change. Yeah. And that is the argument against it. The expense, the waste of time and energy 20 years flushed on the toilet in Afghanistan. That being said, you make a great point with the the billber comment that there's plenty of reason to put the smack down on what the Iranians have

been doing in the region. It's not about us, but literally everyone else is stabilizing it. And so my only hope is that whatever Trump ends up doing, we want to get out cleanly. We don't want a bog down 20 year conflict. It sounds like the rumor in the Beltway is they expected to be a couple of weeks that they're just going to just bombard this place. And then everybody holds stock in these defense contractors are going to get very wealthy because they got to replenish those

armaments. Yeah. Well, I mean, if it's got to again, if it's got to happen, I hope it happens soon. I hope that we're down. I mean, what are we at right now when it comes to the the American life's lives lost? I think it's 7. 7. Yeah. We're down 7, but I think according to the Iranian ambassador

be honest. And it's hard to know what to believe. I mean, official statements from the U.S. are going to try and rally as much support as possible. They're going to say, Trump saying it's almost done. Maybe it's not who knows. But then, of course, on the Iranian side or the pro runs out with Russia, China, they're going to be claiming all of the worst things imaginable, like the U.S. is intentionally

“killing children. And there's one of the stories I think about. I mean, right after the first”

night of attacks, they claim the eye to all it was still alive. So I really don't trust anything coming out of Iranian or Iranian press right now. I saw a video on Twitter of a guy driving in Turan and just fire. And it's like the apparently the Israelis were the says, the Israelis struck oil refineries or something. And that it was getting into the sewers and you're like blazing fire along the sides of roads and stuff. And I don't know if it's true. For all, I know it's

a deep think video. I saw a lot of I saw like some of the videos where it first lit off. I don't

remember what exactly it was sewer system or whatever it was that was that was blowing up in the streets. But it seemed like that was pretty legit. It did seem like it. It's just from the multiple angles. Like that. And I don't want to ever let myself get to the point where I just completely disbelieve everything in front of me. Yeah. I mean, we're working it in there. It's getting close. It's how it is. It is kind of hard to tell, especially when you've got people that are so

bent on discrediting, you know, either side, whether it be people that are counter-signaling the United States that are saying, oh, Iran's actually winning. You know, look, the Iranians have they haven't been launching a lot of drones because they're saving their weapons for later. But I mean, that kind of substance doesn't really make sense because they've already lost. Like you said 1400 people, there's a bunch of people that have a bunch of people that have seen your leadership.

We're taking out the first night and stuff. And it's like, well, what point do you start using your your best weapons if it's not to save the people that are or prevent the people that are in charge from being blown up, you know? And again, I, you know, even a hard coming back to, you know, the the most power to, to good ratio or restraint rather, I guess, is the better way of putting it. The United States, I think, is the only military on the planet that is limited by its political

will and not its ability, because if Russia could take Ukraine, they would. And there's multiple examples of different, you know, you can name a country and who they'd like to take or what they'd like to do, they'd do it if they could. We're the only ones that hold back because we can, but we choose not to because of the political fallout. But we have the ability. And I think we're seeing that right now. I think we're actually holding back a little bit. I mean, we're holding back a lot.

Well, I mean, we have no so. Yeah, there's always, there's always the next step. I don't think we're

ever going to go that far. Yeah, carbon bombs even. I mean, there's a, there's a, there's a mid tier the US can be engaging in for sure. Yeah, we're being strategic. I think specifically to strike military targets without civilian casualties. I mean, we spent billions of dollars developing weapons that'll be able to if we want that we can use to discombobulate. But also that are literally just flying swords, right? Like you can take out an individual person with a hellfire missile that

doesn't have a warhead on it. It has literal swords that pop out the mobile ninja. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, what have you seen that in? I've never seen it. There's a hellfire missile that when it gets to the target blades pop out on the side. And it will strike the target. There's a couple pictures on the internet of, of cars that were hit. You can see where the blades went in. And I think the US took out an Iranian, uh, some Iranian fit on Iranian official with it. Is it because it's a,

it's a, it's like a low yield. No, there's no, there's no, there's no explosion. So it just hits like the local area. And then it's just moving really fast. Yeah, it hits with blades. But we'll

“not build it's over. Like that's what I mean, it's less destructive. No, there's clearly analog.”

There is no explosions. It's just, it sounds like an assassin at the tool. We're going to go to your rumble rants and super chats. So smash that like button and uh, share this show with everyone you know, my friends. But before we go to your rants, my friends go to Timcast.com and click join us and uh, become a member of the discord community. We've got tens of thousands of people that are hanging out at the discord. They want to be friends with all of you. And more importantly,

it is my 40th birthday. Oh, indeed, the big four. Oh, uh, that's it. I'm officially over the hill as per the standard life expectancy, which is course 79 that puts me on the back end. And it's all downhill from here. So the only thing I can do is say, if you'd like to get me a birthday present,

please join our community at Timcast.com. There's uh, the the communities always hanging out. They've got

live chat. They've got early shows after after shows. And we do the uncensored members only show Monday through Thursday on rumble exclusively. But if you want to call in and hang out with us

“to talk to us and our guest, you need to join the discord community at Timcast.com. So I humbly request”

my friends. If you want to get me a birthday present, all you need to do is sign up and join the community because it's not just about me. It's about building community itself. And we're trying, we're trying

become friends that can work with each other. Because as I enter my 40th year, the one thing that we've

“been discussing with the past couple of years is I will eventually be unable to work. Who knows,”

maybe I'll do this for another 20 years. But there needs to be a mechanism by which other people are able to carry out from everything that we've done. Make friends, build shows, build community structures. And then maybe in 100 years, they will be a new company or the company will still exist. And there will be a big community of people who believe in freedom, truth, justice in the American way and all that good stuff. So again, join us and I appreciate all the birthday wishes and

the super chats and rumble rants. But now let's read what you guys have to say with all of this. All right, we got disgruntled that he says, General Herrera, when do we the autistic army get to buy our AK50? Hello, well, congratulations on winning. We need more people like you. Well, for one of for first, first off, I appreciate it. If we were actually going to ever like mass produce like manufactured the AK50, we'd have to find a very good manufacturing dance partner

with that because we do not have the capabilities to do that right now. How long did it take to build an AK50? Well, to get the design down and to get it to where it is today. I mean, it's been like nine years, probably nine, ten years. And this is like, it's a garage project. Like it's something that we would put down and then pick up six months later, wait for parts from machine shop, kills the project for four months, you know, that sort of thing. But we'd need somebody like we worked with

Titans of CNC. On some of that, they were incredible to work with. We would need somebody like

that partner with on the manufacturing side because I mean, we're, we're a bunch of, we're a bunch of idiots in a garage. And we don't have that sort of mass production capability. Right on. All right, let's see, we got here. Code Man Reds says, I don't know how you did it, but but started watching TNG. And it seems we were watching the same episodes. The last two Star Trek references to made were episodes. I just watched last week, fifth wall broken. Well,

it's because when I got sick, I started the series over again. And I've been just watching all the episodes. I'm also rewatching Deep Space Nine, which I just got to stress guys. The last three seasons of Deep Space Nine are just so incredible. And I really do recommend you watch it. I, again, I get frustrated with people who are just like, I don't like sci-fi, but if you really just ignore the sci-fi stuff, like I don't care for the aliens or whatever, have you ever

watched Deep Space Nine? Yeah, apparently, I think I was told by my father that I was born while he was watching Deep Space Nine. So he was trying to like switch between like, pipe down, woman. It is, it is, it is prescient. And the writing is interesting, and it makes you think, and it's relative relevant to what is going on today. So we've talked about the episode in the pale moonlight, which maybe one of the best episodes of television just in general, where the, the, the federation

stages a false flag attack to trick one of their, one of their rival nations to joining the war

“on their side. Well, that would never happen in real life. And that's why I'm just saying it's,”

it's, it's amazing to watch how they wrote this stuff out. But also just the beginning of the

dominion war in general. So basically, there is a military faction that repeatedly is sending military vehicles to a, let's just call it a country in, in, in Star Trek. And eventually the federation says they're at the point where they have built up an army where they could launch an attack on all fronts, you know, all federation frontiers. And we would get crushed. So they, they mine a wormhole, the entrance to where these vehicles are coming through, which triggers the beginning of the war.

And then from there, it's just, it's war stuff. It is the politics of war, conflict, disaster economy. It's really interesting writing to sci-fi setting, but man, I can not stress how good that's, avoid your happened, and we all kind of rolled around. I want to shout out Johnny Friggs and Brent Spiner. You guys, they got a show on YouTube called Drop in Names with Brent and Johnny. That's, that's Commander Riker and data from Star Trek next generation. They're badass human beings.

You've gone and done it Ian. You've gone and done it. You've triggered me. Jonathan Friggs recently was talking about how people don't like Starfleet Academy, the new shows. And he's directed a couple episodes of the, of the latest stuff. And Jonathan Friggs, you are an absolute legend. And you add one of the best voices to the Star Trek universe.

“But good sir, please hear me if you ever hear this. If you want to understand why people don't”

like New Trek, the point you made was that when they launched the next generation, Trek is got really offended because they replaced the cast in crew and it was a new fake version of the show. And yes, indeed. But I was a little kid. And I grew up watching you. And so understand that the original Trek audience and the audience that I exhibit in habit are, it's a venn diagram. We overlap, but we are not the same. So when I watch the next

generation and deep space nine literally throughout the 90s, I'm a little kid in the early 90s

and the show's already been on the air. I think it first aired in 87. I'm one.

in the next generation, deep space nine. And even to a certain degree, and Voyager does not exist in Starfleet Academy in these new shows. For example, there is so many great quotes. One of the letters that I absolutely love is data the android loses. Let's just call it chess. He's playing a game called Straitigima against a master who beats him and he's supposed to be unstoppable. He's an android. So he finds himself defective and says something must be wrong with

me. I need to figure out why I'm not functioning properly. And so he basically calls and sick

thinking that if he can't solve this properly, something must be wrong. And then the captain

“comes to him and says, "You are my second officer. You need to do your job and stop doubting yourself."”

And data says, "But there must be a defect." And then we get one of the greatest quotes ever. He says, "He says, Commander, it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness. That is life." That is what I'm talking about with Starfleet in the next generation. That's the kind of great writing that we got in the early 90s. Now you have something like the sci-fi makes no sense. A permeable hologram that becomes sick because she's

not really permeable or something. And she says, "I can't deal with your midday energy before I've been pulled my underwear up my butt." And another quote is deeply offensive to those who are inspired by the moral philosophies of the 90s Star Trek era. But now they're edgy and they say the effort on Star Trek now. Oh, yeah. My dad also just text me to correct me. It was Voyager that I was born to, not Deep Space Nine. And you know what? As much as we all ragged on Voyager,

it is a masterpiece compared to what they have given us today. I should be so easier on Voyager and Deep Space. I like it because it was the exact same thing that Jonathan is saying. I felt like they were cheap, new fake casts. Because I remember, I felt like that for next generation. I was like, "Where's Spock?" But then I immediately started falling out of the Picard and Ryker and late data. And then same phenomenon again. And I didn't give the other

shows a chance. So I always liked Picard better. Picard's the best place. But that's the same race.

When I start watching Star Trek, I'm a little kid watching the next generation. I see that first, it's on TV. I'm a little kid singing my couch. My dad's watching it. I'm watching it. I didn't see the original series until years later when I was like, "I love this. I want to watch more." And then I was like, "Oh, you know, Kirk's good." But Picard is fantastic. I do think it's a little cheap. They're like, "We're going to shoehorn in some character traits about him like he

doesn't like kids." And then they try to make that a thing. But it really doesn't work for Picard's character. Anyway, feeling for a long time, the baton got passed down to new people who loved the original source material. Or at the very least respected it. And nowadays, that's just not a requirement. And that's not just a Star Trek thing. That's a Star Wars halo, whatever. It's almost, it seems like what the exception of fallout. It's like, you're required to hate or disrespect what everything

that led to you having that job built on. Yep. I'm glad you said about fallout. I haven't seen the new show '76 or fallout. I've been playing fallout '76 and I haven't seen, sorry, show. Well, it got better. It launched at horribly in 2017 a miserable wreck of a game. And now it's well worth the money. Have you guys heard about the new game, Marathon? That's bombing from Bungie? Yep. No. Guys, I'm sick of this stuff. So, game rant, Marathon is being review-bombed. No, it isn't.

It's just a bad aesthetic. The game looks terrible. So, this is Bungie. They made Destiny.

“I played Destiny incessantly. Destiny 2 is well. Did all the raids, you know?”

Went to the moon. Went to a Titan? Is that where you wrote that? I don't know. It's been a long time, man. And a long time. Went to Mars. And Halo, of course. I didn't play as much, but, uh, Halo. Bungie launches a new game. Marathon. And the characters are disgusting. They're like weird mannequin robots or something. Yep. I gotta tell you. Concord. The game bombed miserably.

$400 million flop. It's considered the biggest flop in the history of all media period for humans.

$400 million production. Zero profit. Zero. Zero revenue. They sold 25,000 copies and then refunded all the money when the game flop the 11 day with 11 days. They canceled it. They can't. They can't. They can't. Like zero gross. Zero dollar gross. Zero. Completely zero. The characters were all gross and weird and had pronouns. One of the characters was a morbidly obese, like, like, Native American looking guy. Why would anyone want to play these games? And aesthetic matters. Marvel rivals is now one of the

top games. Why? All the women look like they're naked. Their their suits are basically just their

“skin color. That's how comic books do it. All the men are insanely jacked like they have 2% body”

fat. And everybody wants to play the game. And they want to be the superhero. Every time, have you got, did you guys see to cut a Johnson to the top? Let's say for Calvin Klein? Uh-huh. Sexy is back.

he made that song, they brought in a bunch of morbidly obese people to Kevin Klein. So whatever he thought was sexy, that's not working. I mean, now did you see Jaguar when they did their superhero like the

“the stock depletion that happened at that point? So then they said, hey, look, uh, what was it?”

Uh, who did Sidney Sweeney do the jeans? What jeans was that? We're talking with Levi. Oh, no, no, I didn't get that right. I think it was. Yeah. American, American, American, American, American, - It's not bad, it's not bad, it's not bad. - The current Johnson did Calvin Klein,

where she's topless, and she's basically

reading like lines about a sexy woman. I think people finally realized with OZEMPIC, we are aspirational. So when they did all this body positivity stuff and they were like, "You can be fat."

What they were really saying is, "You are fat "and we're trying to sell you a product." And then once they made OZEMPIC, and all the women got skinny, now they're like, "Okay, let's bring back the naked chicks again."

- Yeah, girls begin horny. - No, the issue is, I explain this in a segment's morning. The commercial with Dakota Johnson, Topless, with her hair over her boobs, and she's doing sexy poses, is not for men.

- I'm so glad she made that, I gotta watch it. - It is not for men to watch. - Are you sure 'cause I'm about to pull her? - Yeah, because you don't buy Calvin Klein. - Oh, okay. - What they want to do

is they want women to watch that, and then think I can be sexy like her because men like that. - It's a commercial for women to be aspirational. - So in your opinion, we're bringing back body negativity.

- Yes, I don't think this is negativity. I think it's correct body positivity. - I mean, I know, I objectively agree, I'm messing around. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong

“with saying that you should aspire to be fit.”

You should aspire to be healthy. You know, all throughout human history, we've had these barragons of what the proper male and female form should be. Even you can't get there, you can aspire to it,

get as close as you want. And the buy product is, you're healthier because of it. - Yep, you live longer, you live happier.

- Body positivity should have always been encouraging people

to get fit in a positive way. - I'm cheering them on. - I think saying you can do it. - RFK, man, we don't talk about them a lot 'cause he doesn't do like military.

But I think he's like the unsung hero of the decade. Like, man of the year, maybe in retrospect, people will realize how he saved a nation by stripping some of these toxins out of the diet. And to me, I don't think a lot of the stuff

that he's doing, like the whole Mahal, like make America healthy again movement. I don't see why that should be polarizing. It's like, okay, let's take the poison out of our food. Let's stop feeding sloped to our children.

Let's maybe get them to be a responsible way. Teach them how to do a pushup. Like that should be all basic stuff that we all agree with. - Yeah, it's just about the polarization now.

“He's associated with Trump, so he's got to be a bad guy.”

Which is ridiculous, but. - Yeah, it's kind of like poor propaganda 'cause... - I don't know, it works, but sometimes it doesn't. I mean, his work is apparent. - I think his work is showing.

- 'Cause there's something that he says now that I truly like it struck a chord. It's something along the lines of it. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but it's something along the lines of,

one of these days, I truly hope you love your children more than you hate Trump. (laughs) - Like it, that hits hard, it really does. - Let's grab some more of these rumble rants.

We got D.S.A.J. says, I agree with Brandon. Clankers are not people. Ian will kill us all. - What? - No, I'm here to help.

- Clankers are not people, let's do it. Clankers are not people. J.M. one says, wait, it's Tim's birthday and we get Brandon as a present. Thanks, Tim.

Also on a Ron bombing hotels, I heard the reason might be because most troops were relocated off base, probably civilian locations. Then they targeted civilian locations,

and it makes them look really bad. I mean, it is what it is. - I actually think Clankers are people. I just don't think they're human, but they have personalities, like dogs.

- Clankers. (laughs) - Clankers, why is YouTube giving me the business?

- YouTube's always given us.

- Do you ever speak Pig Latin for fun? - No, I just did. - U2BA, you take the first letter of the word. You put it the end of the word and then A after it. - Why is it called Pig Latin?

- I don't know racist. - I wonder if that's a racist thing, and I just just displayed that for-- - And then I gave myself lines. - Let's pretend just what we got.

Mikey says, I am keeping the tradition and say, my wife is delivering baby number two right now. Welcome, baby Clara, and now my wife just gave me the look, pray for you. - Oh, I'm so happy.

- Congratulations guys. - If she's on the delivery table, you don't have to worry about her getting up. Chase your round. She can give you the look all through once.

- Much much your wife. - We got a lot of birthday wishes. I appreciate all of the birthday wishes. - All right. - Our FHS and keeping with longstanding Tim cast

tradition, I'll announce the arrival of my new baby son, Bruce Buffer voice. - All right. - Wait a minute, five pounds, 13 ounces, standing at a whopping 19 inches long,

Carter, Asher, Rush. - Love you guys. - There you go. - Talk at about card. - Congratulations.

- Good name. - Yes. (laughs) - All right. The bracket show says military operations,

declaration of war, declaration of war resets entire U.S. to a wartime footing. Rights suspended, industries ordered about drafts.

President can still fight in defense of our nation without that. You heard Carol and Levitt wouldn't say Trump won't rule out a draft. - Yeah, but I think that's not a draft.

- It was kind, it seemed like that was out of context as I watched the full clip. - Well, it's fair to say that asking give us your military strategy publicly right now. - Yeah.

- You can't. There's not gonna be a draft though.

- You never rule it out as a commander.

You always have to keep the option open. - Well, yeah, we get invaded. They're gonna give you a gun. You can imagine. - We'd be desperate.

- I bet they were not just shooting lately, actually. - Well, I mean, hit me up, you need, I know a guy. - Yeah, I can be cool. I kinda wanna shoot that AK50.

“Is that, do you let people put hands on it and friends?”

- How many rounds of you put that? - That's fine. - I mean, at this point, it's like, it's gotta be at least over 500, 600 rounds. - Right, right, right.

- Wait for it to kill, that's quite a bit. - Does it pull up well? - Pretty good. We're always finding more stuff to screw with, like, more things were not like super happy

about like little nitpicks, we're like, okay. Well, that should be about 10% tighter, you know, different stuff like that. - What would happen if you hit a deer with it? - Honestly, it's less impressive than you think,

a lot of people think that if you hit something with a 50 cow, oh my God, it explodes. If you nicks somebody, it'll blow their arm off. It's not true.

Basically what's gonna happen is it's gonna go straight through.

There's gonna be a crazy exit and then 70%, 80% of the force of that bill, it's gonna go into the tree behind it. - Yeah, that's not so fun. - Yeah, I wanted to hear the deer will explode into a fine mist.

- It's the less impressive answer, but it's unfortunate there is. - Is there any kind of ammo that could cause some catastrophic explosion to a deer? - 'Cause they're big.

“- Well, can you get a 50 cow that's a soft point?”

- I'm like a hollow point, you know. I'll have to do that. - You know, maybe that's maybe that's the new business you and I open together. Maybe maybe we just start making a soft point

or a ballistic tip 50 cow, they're a grunting ammunition. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, let's grab a couple more here. I don't know what this means, so I don't know if I can read it, but I'll read it anyway. - Political overtones says dirty plops and pepperbacks

for Brandon Bebera. - Unfortunately, I understand that language. (laughing) It's our streaming platform, Pepperbox. We invented a new slur for the people

that are there on the platform. It's dirty plops and pepperbacks. (laughing) - Oh, that sounds highly offensive. - It does, we legitimately had a strategy meeting

for what is the most offensive sounding thing we can call our subscribers. - Yeah. - And they just run with it. Plops and dirty plops and pepperbacks.

- Pepperbacks. - Here's one drive by, or driveby. So I wanna congratulate Brandon on his fourth Victoria Cross and the second legion of merit. (laughing)

- Hi, I got nothing. - I guess so. - First of all, I wanted to write.

“- This morning said he wasn't sure if you were a veteran or not.”

- It is clear that the joke has gone too far, but the worst of all are of the unsubscribe podcast has permeated actual politics. - Oh, I wonder if while you're in Congress, there's gonna be a story about,

like, fake valor. - They're already tried. - Really? They're in the primary, they already legitimately tried. It's like, oh, yes, you stole one of the photos

that we put up of a private comedy show and tried to pretend I was stealing valor

while we raised over a million dollars

for veteran charities and such. It's like, okay, well, the thing about politics is nobody really cares about telling the truth. - Yeah. - Indeed.

- They want to see. - No good deed goes on punch. - Let's see what we got here. So we had a goal of 50 super chats. If 50 super chats were met,

Tim will have a happy birthday. Unfortunately, only 37 super chats. Which means, I love a sad birthday. - I was kidding, guys. - I just put up there as a gag.

- How are you feeling? - I'm feeling no. - Literally, I feel the exact same as I felt yesterday. - Didn't make you uncomfortable that it was, didn't hit the mark or anything.

- Oh, no, I was gonna ask. I feel pretty good too. - No, I had a, I had a really great birthday present. I went all in with Ace Queen against Ace King, hit a Queen on the flop, and it held,

and I defeated him, and it feels really good when that happens. - There you go. - That's right, was there a big pot involved? - Yeah, we were both all in.

- Oh, very nice. - Yep, and I knew I was cooked, and I think Ace King versus Ace Queen, I like 24% or something, but that Queen hit, and it held, and that was the universe

saying happy birthday, Tim. - You, you bedbeat somebody. All right, what do we have you? - Martin Edgar says, a teenager in Michigan made a nuclear reactor in his shed from old smoke detectors,

50, 50, 4, 10, and Brandon's campaign. It is indeed a famous story. It is indeed a famous story, do not do it, do not do it. You will get sick and you will die. - Do not radiate yourself.

- Michael, Michael so holds says, "Hey, the birthday Tim today is also my oldest daughter's "19th birthday, I'm a 40-year-old marine vet

"since before you launched IRL here here, sir.

“"Thank you so much, and happy birthday to your daughter.”

"It's a good birthday. "It is indeed the peak of Pisces." So those that's awesome. - Those that track that, and my signs are Pisces Pisces Leo. Sun and Moon Pisces rising Leo.

- Why, oh, do you got that lion energy? - Lion energy. - That's that water that flow. - That's right, be like the flow. - Yup, perhaps. - And Leo's fire, right?

Anyway, we are going to go the Uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com/TimcastIRL and take calls from you all, our beautiful discord members.

So make sure you go there at two hangout.

You can follow me on X and Instagram @TimcastBrennan. Do you want to shut anything up? - I would like to shout out the voters of Texas 23 who put me in this position.

“I'm forever grateful to be your voice in Congress.”

And if you'd like to go check out the campaign and things we stand for, it's BritainHorrorforcongress.com. I'd also like to shout out you out. Have a very happy birthday, and I appreciate it. - Sorry to bring me back, brother.

- Oh yeah, absolutely, man. Really excited for it. We need more real people in Congress. We gotta get all the bad and come up and get all the good people in. - It really is promising that you're going in.

I know you got the election coming up. Near the end of the year, what when is it exactly? - It's the first Tuesday in November. But, honestly, we were prepped to go to the runoff. I know a lot of the stuff happened that, you know,

caused Tony to drop out. But we still, at the end of the day, we still beat him in the original primary. So it's crazy, it's been a crazy turn of events. I'll say it that way.

- Vote, there is no sure thing. You vote in November. You vote Republican in Texas.

“If you want to vote, I don't know you're going as a Republican.”

I imagine, I never even asked.

- Yeah, I can defend that or what? - Doesn't even matter these days, I don't know. - Well, yes, we were on the Republican ticket trying to get out. Like, just a really bad Republican incumbent. I total, like, I know the terms overused, but a rhino.

And we succeeded in that goal, and we, again, it was not by a big margins, so your vote really does matter. - It's really good to see you, man. - Thanks for coming. - You and Cross, and find me on the internet.

If you and Cross, and also go to graphing.movie, and check out this trailer for this graphing documentary that we're building, it's badass and nanotech. Like, if you want to get some white kill energy, look into the new scientific breakthroughs,

they're going to be supporting a lot of this political momentum and change that we're seeing all around the planet. It's graphing.movie. See you there. We also got Carter Banks.

I'm not sure he's got a camera on him today. - I do. I'm like, I got Andrew back here, and we are hanging out pressing the buttons, and yeah, it's a pleasure being here. - Thank you, Brandon, for coming on the show.

I've probably set this up, so you can see me better, but yeah, anything you want to show, Andrew. - No, well, okay, let's go to Phil. - I am Phil, the remains on Twix. The band is all that remains.
