Tim Pool: 我认为美国即将卷入与伊朗的战争。特朗普政府的行动,如提前离开G7峰会、准备战情室以及大规模调动军事资源,都表明了这一点。虽然特朗普曾表示反对新战争,但当前局势暗示美国可能通过“北部湾事件”式的虚假旗帜行动介入。我担心这场战争将对美国经济造成毁灭性影响,并可能引发中国对台湾的行动。 Bradley Devlin: 我认为伊朗的核计划是为了创造筹码,他们从萨达姆和卡扎菲的遭遇中吸取了教训。如果伊朗获得核武器,它将成为欧亚大陆中部一个像西欧一样大的朝鲜。美国政策制定者应该考虑如何向公众解释这场战争,并明确计划是什么。特朗普的基本盘并不希望卷入这场战争,右翼媒体的失败是另类媒体播客策略成为必要的原因,因为右翼媒体没有能力赢得或管理联盟。 Libby Emmons: 我希望并相信总统会以美国的最佳利益为出发点,支持我们的盟友,但美国不应该参与轰炸伊朗之类的行动。我对与伊朗开战有很多疑虑,取决于美国的利益是什么。年轻一代对以色列的看法正在发生变化,特朗普的基本盘,美国的民粹主义联盟,不想卷入这场战争。我认为美国最好是支持盟友,而不是真正参与战争。 Phil Labonte: 我完全反对战争。如果伊朗获得了核武器,那么其他国家也会获得核武器。我认为伊朗拥有核武器的最大担忧不是伊朗会攻击任何人,而是这些武器会落入一些疯狂的人手中。与伊朗开战,取决于美国的利益是什么。 Shane Cashman: 我认为他们正在向我们暗示,这将会是另一个“北部湾事件”式的虚假旗帜行动。政府必须通过破坏媒体来破坏国家。内塔尼亚胡想与媒体人士和播客会面,目的是为了宣传伊朗即将拥有核武器,并以此来说服美国参战。我认为深层政府是加速主义者,他们想要权力和控制,而且不在乎混乱。

Hi, I'm Richard Karn, and you may have seen me on TV talking about the world's number one expandable garden hose. Well, the brand new Pocket Hose Copperhead with Pocket Pivot is here, and it's a total game changer. Old-fashioned hoses get kinks and creases at the spigot, but the Copperhead's Pocket Pivot swivels 360 degrees for full water flow and freedom to water with ease all around your home. When you're all done, this rust-proof anti-burst hose shrinks back down to pocket size for effortless handling and tidy storage.

We'll be right back.

Donald Trump has threatened Iran.

He said now everybody should evacuate. I said everyone should evacuate Tehran now. Iran should have taken the deal. Videos have been circulating over the past week or so of people fleeing the city. We have video today of what appears to be one of their news channels being struck by Israeli airstrikes live on the air.

We've also got reports of the U.S. mass mobilizing jets and refueling tankers into the region, with many people speculating the U.S. is preparing to engage directly in this conflict. Donald Trump has it has been announced he will be leaving the G7 early after a meeting with the world leaders.

Prepping the Situation Room, going back to D.C., and it seems like, ladies and gentlemen, we may be in war with Iran shortly. And I don't know for sure. There's a lot of way to speculate on this, and I've certainly got my opinions, but we're going to break through the news and show you what's currently going on based on what he said.

So, of course, smash that like button. Get ready for the show. Before we get started, my friends, I've got a great sponsor. It is Bearskin. I am wearing this Bearskin fleece right now.

Right on. We got Shane hanging out. What's up, Bradley? Good to have you back. Thank you. I am Shane Cashman, host of Inverted World Live. I will be running out of this studio around 9.40 to go live at 10 o'clock p.m. to break down PsyOps coming out of Minnesota, as well as Strange Sounds coming from below Antarctica.

And phone lines will be open until 12 a.m. Open calls. Yep. Open calls. People can call in and talk about whatever. We've had Bigfoot stories, abduction stories, brainwash stories, spirits, you name it, werewolves. We need the secrets. You're digging into that weird Antarctica thing with like the... Oh, yeah. Nice. I just did a lot of Antarctica last week, so this is like a good update. I was doing a rabbit hole on that. Clear the decks. We're talking cryptids only now. What's going on in Antarctica? Well, last week I broke down...

A lot of Operation High Jump and stuff like that. Just that stuff. Just that stuff. But it just so happens that yesterday scientists have been hearing strange sounds from below the ice in Antarctica. Skithulu. Oh, it could be. So if you're in Antarctica, please call in. Hi, Libby. Hi, Shane. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. Glad to be here. I'm with the Postmillennial and Humanevents.com.

How you doing, everyone? My name's Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. You know, I do want to mention, too, I felt like considering the gravity of the news with Trump that we would just go straight for this big, potentially historical news. But there are a bunch of stories that I think are also important. You had...

organizers for the no kings protests firing into a crowd killing an innocent guy and the police arrested the guy who got one of the guys who got shot at which is weird you've got the minnesota's what shane was just mentioning this this assassin and all the weird stuff around him there's weird stuff going on but we're going to get into this news first because this is this is massive we have this story from the post-millennial trump urges immediate evacuation of tehran

Post Malone reports President Trump warned on Monday evening that everyone should immediately evacuate to Iran, Iran's capital city. This comes as Israel and Iran have traded strikes over the weekend. Trump said...

Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign. What a shame and waste of human life. Simply stated, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran. Now we have this video, which is reportedly from now, but there have been videos of this going on for a while. Footage of Tehran's highway showing people leaving the city in droves. So you can see the highway is lit up.

We also have this video, which is a strike that occurred. Now, it's not graphic or anything like that, so just, you know, you're being pre-warned that it's not graphic. But this shows an active strike on Iranian television. Check this out. Oh, my God.

Allah is the Greatest!

I've heard some reports that Iran was issuing orders for Israeli news media to evacuate their headquarters. Did you hear that as well? I heard that as well, yeah, in Haifa, yeah, in the northern part of the country. And now we have this from Lawrence Jones. He says, I've been informed that President Pat POTUS will have dinner with the heads of state of the G7 nations and immediately depart for Washington. He has requested the National Security Council be prepared in the Situation Room. So it would seem, ladies and gentlemen, that...

Our war is coming. We've got this. Check this out from Times of Israel. U.S. appears to be deploying a large number of aerial refueling tankers across the Atlantic. I believe the number is upwards of 30 refueling tankers. Now, these are important for Western fighter jets that can't make the trip from Israel to Iran. They'll have to refuel in midair after on their return flight. So they go in, they engage in airstrikes, turn around, meet up with these refueling tankers, get refueled and come back or maybe before. But this is...

The speculation here is that the U.S. is mass mobilizing. Of course, we have this tweet. Ellie Alfre, it says madness within minutes of Trump's tweets, dozen of dozens of U.S. planes on their way to the Middle East. So I'm not entirely sure this is disguised as a former IDF soldier. And we can see this this chart appearing to show the flight paths of many jets moving in. It looks like these may be I don't know if these are refueling tankers or what's going on. But I'm going to go ahead and say I think the U.S. is about to get involved in this war.

Yeah, I think that's pretty clear. That's terrible. I think you're right. This is terrible. I think this is against his base.

There's a lot of people on Fox News who want it. So it doesn't seem like there's going to be strikes carried out by the U.S. It seems like they're looking to play a support role. I think that's bad enough. There are B-2s that are, I guess, stationed somewhere in the Indian Ocean, I believe. I'm not sure what other bombers. But there's not, you know, I mean, obviously there's three carriers, so...

you know, they've got plenty of F-18s and stuff like that. I think something's certainly happening. I really wish it wouldn't happen. But this is the pattern of American war. We have a destabilized nation.

which we are just now still coming out of the lockdowns, which mutilated this country and the rest of the world. And just like after the Great Depression, we went to war. And I think it's happening again. We also have the Nimitz is deploying. And the interesting thing about this is that it was scheduled to be deployed, but it is now deploying early into the Indo-Pacific. And it's scheduled for decommission next year.

That's interesting. So conspiracy brother. I think it's two on the nose. I think they're feeding us these things to be like it's going to be another false flag. So what is the implication of a vessel that is one year from decommission heading into – We're going to Gulf of Tonkin it. Yeah. Even though that second one at Gulf of Tonkin wasn't actually hit. Right. They could say that or hit it themselves. I agree with you. It feels two on the nose.

But, of course, the conspiracy theory is that we're sending in a ship we're about to decommission because we don't need it anymore. Right. And so it's going to get attacked by Iran. Right. And then we're like, oh, geez, we had to join this war. Now, someone this morning— What else is happening right now? Is it—what is it called? Oh, the one big beautiful bill? Yeah. That provides about $200 billion to reinvigorate U.S. defense. And what is the other process that we— A trillion-dollar military spending bill, isn't it? Oh, and then the other process that we're involved in, an appropriations package. Hmm.

Yeah, lots of money. Lots of money to get thrown at this whole thing. A lot of people make a lot of money. I'm pretty opposed to war entirely. I've been watching this along with

The rest of you guys trying to figure out what's going on. Trump was very vocal about not getting us into any new wars. He's really been. And of course, in the in his first term, no new wars. He's really been skating quite the line on this. Right. Like not saying that he's.

Israel materially not saying that the U.S. is going to get involved in this conflict that Israel has been planning for, what, 20 years? Like, they've been planning to do this very thing. You have Netanyahu all weekend saying, you know,

First, he was coming out and saying that Iran tried to assassinate Trump, which was very clearly a so come join us in this war thing. Today, he was talking about how Iran hates America, which like, as we mentioned pre-show, we know, right? We know that. But my impulse here is to really hope and pray and trust that the president has America's best interests at heart.

And that is what I am hoping. I do not necessarily know what that means. I do think it's important to support our allies. I don't think that it's great for the U.S. to get involved in bombing Iran or anything like that. I have a lot of doubts about this. We were talking about Israel's need for U.S. bunker busters in order to get to the Fordow facility.

deep underground nuclear facility that they want to attack. Now, Israel could get it anyway. They just want our stuff to do it because it would be more expedient. But the question with war with Iran, as you said, I hope Trump has America's best interest at heart. Depends on what those interests are. What if what if it's in America's best interest in terms of unipolar global dominance? Right. Or petrodollar supremacy? Right.

Right. These are questions. And then, of course, you go back to remember Donald Rumsfeld, remember that documentary with Donald Rumsfeld? And he was like, well, who did who do you want? You want somebody else to be in charge? Do you want communist China to be the unipolar power? Right. Yeah, that's not what I'm looking for either. And then if Iran does attain nuclear weapons.

then who else is going to attain nuclear weapons? Because they're certainly just going to share and sell it. Yep. I think the greatest concern with Iran getting a nuke is not that Iran's going to strike anybody, which is the stupidest. I got to be honest, when Israel's coming out and even people in the U.S. and they're like, Iran's going to get a nuke and they're going to get you. Like, bro, they're not going to be able to build a missile rocket that's going to reach the United States.

But it is going to get into the hands of some wackaloon, crazy-ass people. And didn't we look at a map? Like the Houthis. If that were to happen, Persia gets turned into glass. I believe that the nuclear program in Tehran was for ultimately the purpose or at least the—

facade of attaining a nuclear weapon, but ultimately the nuclear program is their best piece of leverage. They learn from what happened to Saddam. They learn from what happened to Gaddafi. Errors, wars of choice that the United States undertook, and their whole strategy, I think, here is to move slowly but surely towards that nuclear bomb in order to create leverage. Because if they do attain the nuclear bomb, then you have...

a North Korea the size of Western Europe in the middle of Eurasia. That's what you have. You're going to make yourself a pariah. You're not going to be negotiating with the Chinese and the Russians to the same degree or be a participant in global affairs to the same degree as they are now. And so I don't think the justification of a denuclearized Iran is enough. I think it would be wise for policymakers in the United States right now

to think about how they're actually going to talk to the public about this war. Because everyone's posting on Twitter. Actually, if you look at polls, people are really supportive of striking Iran if it means preventing a nuclear weapon. Trust the polls. Yeah, trust the polls. But people were really having a...

an easy time saying that we should go into Iraq to get rid of the Saddam because the WMDs and Bush was... Which turned out to be fake. Which turned out to be fake and Bush was underwater a year later on the war. And so what we need to start talking about now is what is the plan? Iran is a Shia majority country. There's not many of them. Iran has 90 million people. That is bigger than Iraq...

Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya combined, plus another Afghanistan on top of that. As I said, it's as big as Western Europe. So are we okay with the mullahs and the Ayatollah retaining control of Iran if we go in there with B-2 bombers and blow up Fordow and decapitate their nuclear program? And guess what?

If we're not, who's going to take the Ayatollah's place? Because I was promised from the neocons for years that if this happens, within 48 hours, people are going to be in the streets demonstrating and demanding the Ayatollah's head. That hasn't happened. The only demonstrations that we saw in Iran over the weekend...

were people demanding retribution against the Israelis for carrying out these strikes, and the United States, too. So we can't forget that. So what takes its place? Is this another Syria 2.0? Does this let an Islamic state grow its head? It's just crazier than Syria. People don't understand how big Iran is. Exactly. They don't understand. And look at the topography there, Tim. Mall mountains. It's crazy. I think the likely scenario...

Trump supporters largely do not want war with Iran, but Trump does have his key influencer base that are very culty. Not all of them, but many of them. If U.S. here's my prediction. U.S. military naval forces are going to go to guard the Strait of Hormuz. They're going to try and keep it open. They're going to say we're not getting involved in this.

There will be an attack on our vessels or whatever. Probably not by the Iranians, by the Houthis most likely. Maybe, maybe. Who knows? All that matters is that they come out on TV and say, U.S. men and women in uniform have been attacked by Iran. We were trying to maintain the Strait of Hormuz to keep it open because this is also Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Oman. They're saying, we can't allow Iran to shut down trade for all of these nations. They attacked us. We have no choice.

You've already got the narrative, Netanyahu's been saying this, Iran's trying to kill Trump. I am fairly certain the moment Trump comes out and says we cannot allow our brave men and women in uniform to be attacked by a foreign adversary. We are simply trying to maintain trade, but they have invoked our ire by attacking our good people. I wouldn't be surprised if even men and women in uniform die. Trump's base is going to on a dime say, yep, Trump's right. They're going to go right for it. And the left comes back.

I think a certain amount of his base. I think the base is going to fracture. It's already fractured. I'm watching it fracture big time today. It's been happening. You know what's funny? Doesn't it seem to be mostly the people that were pro-DeSantis are now happy with Trump's saber-rattling? They're like, we like what Trump is doing now. I wonder how long a show like this can last when we are anti-intervention-based.

Back in the day, in like the Bush era, the only voices you heard were pro-Iraq war, pro-Afghanistan war, because the media was controlled. If you wanted to appear as a personality, you either were the select, low-charisma anti-war activist, so you can feign the opposition or make them look stupid, or you were basically just – you agree with the war to varying degrees. Yeah.

Now you've got a show like this, which is decently large, and we're all relatively, now we shouldn't be involved in this.

Can I say Pat Buchanan is a patriot who saw all this coming? Yep. He called for Tulsi Gabbard to be national security advisor back in the first Trump administration. Yeah. And he founded the magazine that I used to work for and am a contributing editor at now. And he was called an unpatriotic conservative. There was pieces in the Weekly Standard.

and in the public interest and in national review attacking these people for not getting on board with taking out Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And these people, when they're riled up in these warlike passions, I mean, we've seen the bloodlust on social media. I mean, it's gross. I saw people retweeting that tweet

clip of that news agency, of course, it's state TV, in Iran getting blown up, saying, how awesome is this? Look at this little terrorist mouthpiece getting blown up. It's terrifying. It's horrifying to think that. And if they get whipped up like this, I mean...

People are going to lose their careers. They're going to lose their careers over accusations of being a traitor. They're going to lose their careers to being called anti-Semitic. They're going to lose their careers for not going along with the propaganda. And guess what? At the end of the day, we're still going to have an incredibly destabilized Middle East if we go through with a regime change war in Iran.

Let's jump to this. We got this from Deadline. Donald Trump takes a dig at Tucker Carlson after former Fox News host criticizes POTUS's Iran policy and his old employer for war propaganda. The split is here, and Tucker is just, he's a substantial, he's one of the most prominent voices. Now, when Trump was asked about it, he said, I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen. Shockingly,

Bad play, in my opinion. If Trump I can't imagine Trump is unaware of the changing media landscape and to imply that Tucker Carlson, because he's not on Fox News getting 500000 key demo viewers, his voice is not relevant anymore, is maybe just Trump trying to dig at Tucker and say, ha, you lost your job. But in terms of a dig at Tucker, it's.

Telling him to be on TV when TV's dead? Does Trump not realize? Well, Trump is in his 80s, but I think... Almost, right? Oh, no. That's right. He turned 80. He turned 80. Yeah. Yeah.

That was yesterday. I mean, he does. I like the president, but he's got some serious boomer energy. I think that's the president that used the podcast network to help get elected. So this is such a good point. He understands. And I think the I think the fact of the matter is he just doesn't care what Tucker thinks. And so he's going to go after him. It's not about Tucker and a news network. It's about saying like.

You're not the president. And I think we're going to hear a lot of you're not the president in the next couple of days. One thing I think to one thing that I think could be relevant is that Israel usually fights short wars. You know, they don't tend to drag on for a long time. So if the U.S. can.

stay out of it, um, or just be like, I don't know, be as minimally as involved as possible, not taking strikes on Iran, then we do have a chance that Israel just ends it quickly. Cause that, that is their history. I mean, this is the, the Israeli narrative on this has been all over the map. They, they initiated this new war because, uh, the, the clock was running out and Iran was going to get a bomb tomorrow. Uh,

They started this war three years ago against Iran and its proxies. They started this war 30 years ago with Iran and its proxies. Yeah, I want to return to something Shane said, though, with this alternative podcast network and the reason that President Donald Trump won was because –

in part of this media strategy. And I think a lot of people have heard the, it's the long form, authentic conversation style, bro. That's what's doing it for people. And I love coming on this show and I can say that that's certainly true. But the other thing that no one wants to talk about, the reason why the alternative media podcast strategy had to be the play is because of the failures of the right wing media.

Failure is the right-wing media. It's not structured to be something that actually shifts the Overton window. The ad revenue model is failing. We do journalism and man on the street. All we got out of 10 years, 15 years of digital journalism on the right was maybe a few smackdowns with respect to the Obama IRS scandal. We got a filibuster from Ted Cruz about Obamacare. We got a failure in Obama repeal. We got a tax cut.

And we didn't get our troops out of any of the places that the American people wanted them out of. And so where did Trump have to go? He had to go to Joe Rogan. He had to go to these other podcast networks because the right wing media is not built for

to win or manage a coalition. It's just not. The interesting thing is, you know, on Fox News all day, it's Iran. Israel-Iran. When Israel launched its strikes on Iran, the first thing, Fox and friends had Mark Levin on in the morning. Now, he's a Sunday night guy. I think, right? Sunday night? Yeah. And he was passionately, I'll be nice, but

angrily and passionately saying we must support Israel in this effort. This is America first. How dare they call me neocon? We have to support our ally and things like this. I this is going to be interesting. Trump versus Tucker, the coalition splitting. The left comes back. I don't know what happens because because now we're at a point where

Man, I don't want the U.S. to be involved in a war in Iran because a war in Iran is not Iraq and Afghanistan. Like you mentioned earlier, it's massive. We're talking about the U.S. dumping hundreds of billions into Ukraine. And for the U.S. to be involved in Iran, it's going to be hundreds of billions more and hundreds of billions more than we've already given to Ukraine. This is going to rock the U.S. economy in devastating ways. Like the inflation is going to be ridiculous.

A lot of companies are going to make a lot of money. Silicon Valley is very happy. It reminds me, I've got to get my military industrial complex stocks. Better get a look at that. Maybe buy into Andruil while you're at it. Who should I get? Andruil, probably, because they're making the killer robots. Andruil's not probably trading. Palmer Lucky. What about Lockheed? Is Lockheed trading? You should look it up. Maybe Lockheed. Lockheed, Mark. Clearview's going to be doing a thing. All these places. Lockheed is down 4% for the day, but the overnight's up 2.13%.

They're salivating for this because they're the new corporations like we had during FDR with J.P. Morgan and DuPont. I'd say Boeing, you know, but... I mean... Actually, they're up to it. How? They

They keep falling out of the sky. Northrop is they are... Could be useful in terms of... Yes, okay. Okay, we're going to recycle these things. Northrop Grumman was down 3.75 for the day, but now in the overnights, it's shot sort of... Dude, I love this. Go open up your stock ticker, whatever app you're using. The moment...

Trump says evacuate now. The military industrial complex stocks jump like one or two percent. Look up what Nancy Pelosi's buying right now. Quiver quantitative on that. Remember when we pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021? As disastrous as it was. How long was it until we got involved in Ukraine? We've been at war my whole life. We've been in wars.

Straight there. Interestingly, when we were getting out of Afghanistan, there were military reports that we were shifting weapons production for naval, a Pacific theater war. And so the speculation from everybody was that we were about to get into a conflict with China. We were moving away from desert conflict into naval conflict, but we haven't seen that yet. If we get involved with Iran, why would China not be like Taiwan's ours?

Of course they will. And we're already moving assets, all right? Like the Nimitz and stuff, we're already moving assets away from that region. And what did China do in the past 24 hours? Oh, you know, Iran, you know.

Israel is dominating your skies. They've destroyed quite a lot of your of your missile systems. Nevertheless, you have large missile stockpiles. But if this rapid pace continues, then, hey, you might run out of these by by July, mid-July or whatever. OK, well, here's another a thousand missiles for you. Here's more drones for you. Oh, China has absolutely the interest.

of getting us bogged down in a quagmire, just like we bogged down the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. And just a half an hour ago, China called for the evacuation of its citizens from Israel. Yeah. Or it was reported.

Libby, what were you going to say? Jennifer Jacobs from CBS just posted. Is she CBS? Yeah, CBS. She just posted, U.S. is not joining Israel offensively in its military operation per U.S. officials, despite reports that President Trump asked the NSC and Situation Room to be readied. I'm told NSC cabinet members are already on standby.

uh 24 hours a day including since israel's operation rising line began so you know yeah they're going to deploy forces to protect the the straight of hormuz and then i'm going to say it because i'm hoping it don't happen and i'm hoping i'm wrong there will be an attack on u.s forces in the region trump will say it's unacceptable we are simply maintaining trade routes we can't stand for this and then you get a war gulf of tonkin the u.s claimed we were attacked we weren't we got involved in the war

It's a lot harder to do in the social media era because people have videos, but the president says it. His top line supporters are going to say Trump is right. Yeah. Roll. Yeah. Well, we'll see what happens. I mean, and the other thing I'll mention, too, is you look at the assassination attempt on Trump and then Dan Bongino, Cash Patel get in. They say there's no there there. And nobody that is completely illogical and makes no sense. Yeah. Like.

double lightning strike, double lottery winning all at the same time for that story to happen. My point is that even if the U.S. does engage in some kind of false flag attack,

to, you know, muster up public support, you'll never get the answers even in the digital age. Right. We have our guys, you know, the podcast guys are in there right now talking about conspiracies for the last few years and no answers. The Thomas Matthews crook story, I mean, that guy might as well have been 3D printed in some laboratory. It makes no sense. That's so weird. I'll mention this too. It is obvious why Netanyahu wanted to have a meeting with a bunch of top media personalities and podcasters.

The whole conversation was Iran is going to get a nuclear weapon and they're going to come for you. And no, they're not. They're not going to create an ICBM and then fire at the United States. But if you look at things like that, it's pretty obvious what the intent was and where they want us all to go. They want shows like this. That's why I said I wonder how long a show like this can exist. If the machine state says we're going to war, if Trump is even on board and says we're going to war and then we're sitting here being like, nah.

Yeah. What happens? I don't know. DDoS attacks every night for YouTube. It feels like he's struggle sessioning America into the war. And then all those people, there's probably other influencers there, maybe like TPUSA types or PragerU types, who are like using the safe and effective argument for war now. Like, we got to go do it now. It's a preemptive thing. I'm like, this doesn't work. The pattern of war has been going on my whole life. Since my great-grandparents were in this country, this country has been at war. Haven't even declared it officially since World War II.

So I just oppose this, and I really hope Trump is in charge enough and not having all these horrible people in his ear dragging us into this horrible war. Wait, hold on. I'm seeing a tweet.

From Trump he says actually war is good. You know now that I think about it I agree with that is good, and you know you guys are crazy I like war now that you say it like it was scary like it was making a very good point Trump did not do wars actually Can I can I send you something I think meeting with Netanyahu is really really important and

the podcaster meeting. So this is from Pew Research and it's Views of Israel from 2022. I search for it? How do I search for it? So search Pew Research, How Americans View Israel and the Israel-Hamas War at the Start of Trump's Second Term. It's an article by Laura Silver. What's the date? It's April 8th, 2025, but I think it was listed on SEO as, yeah, no, it's April 8th, 2025.

Got it. So, okay, so scroll down until you see a graphic about party and age breakdown and their favorability views of Israel. Keep going further. It's going to be a dot graph. This thing? Down further. It's all blue. So this, this right here. So this is why, this is why...

Do you want to have a meeting like that? Look at U.S. adults, Republican, lean Republican, ages. Negative views of Israel have risen in the U.S. from 2022 among all U.S. adults from 42 to 53 percent. OK, now look at ages 18 to 49, 62 to 71.

Yeah, but you know, they're just... That's on Dem, lean Dem. Above that, Republican, lean Republican. 18 to 49. 35 to 50. It's up, jumped 50 points towards the negative. 15 points in the last three years over the war. That's also the generation that hasn't been taught anything about the Holocaust or like the actual nature. I mean, come on. We're like, let's talk about the Holocaust. Hold on, hold on. This is publication. This is publication of textbooks.

that have been driven by Arab philanthropic money. The point is bringing up is— They have been conditioned to hate Israel already. The point he's bringing up is— Since 2022 to 2025, all the textbooks change and we don't talk about the Holocaust enough? No, I'm not saying that we didn't—that's not what I said. But after 9-11, there was a huge surge of Arab philanthropic money going into textbooks. But that doesn't explain why an 18-year-old in 2022—

who in 2025 is only 21, and the whole sentiment across the entire demo shifted 15 points negative. I'm just throwing out everything that there is. But the point he brought up is that Netanyahu wants to have a meeting because they can see exactly this happening. But I don't think that's why he had the meeting.

The meeting was literally just Iran's getting a nuke. You have to go to war. You have to. And everybody groaning and being like, nah. There were a handful of people that were like, yeah, but most people were like, nah. The Trump base, the American populist coalition on the right does not want to be involved in this war.

I don't know what the left wants. Well, you know, the left wants to eradicate Israel along with Hamas and the Houthis and everybody else. So they're going to be against it as well. Yeah, they're against it as well. I mean, I think the thing is that Israel is a very strong country and they can pretty much take care of themselves. And it's up to Trump if he wants to, you know, give them the bunker busters, which I don't know enough about what they're facing to know if that's really...

I know they believe that that's necessary, but I do think it's better when the U.S. is supporting allies and not actually engaging in war. We have a correction. Trump is 79, not 80. He just turned 79. We do have this story from the Daily Mail. Pakistan tells Iran they will nuke Israel if Netanyahu uses nuclear weapons against Tehran. Regime officer claims in huge World War III apocalypse threat report.

General Mohsen Reza, a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a member of Iran's National Security Council, said in an interview, Pakistan has assured us that if Israel uses a nuclear bomb in Iran, they will attack Israel with a nuclear bomb. They're downwind. Can we? They're downwind. Pakistan has to have denied this by now. I do believe that the latest update—let me see if I can get it—

Their war with India came to a close pretty quickly. Yeah, I mean... Was that like 10 minutes? Yeah. They do that. Every once in a while they have to remind people that we exist too and we're kind of near the Middle East. Flirting with bombs. The only source I can find is Hindustan Times. That's not always... I'm going to pull it up anyway. No such commitment, Pakistan and Iran's tit-for-tat claim. So...

Pakistan has told us that Israel, however, Pakistan has denied this claim, taking to X. Okay, so maybe they do. Okay, I don't know. I'll try and look up the actual guy.

While you do that, I just want to say one thing really quick about the importance of going after the media and what Netanyahu is doing, but what all people do, all governors of state do, presidents and the CIA. It's your responsibility, basically. They know they have to undermine the media to undermine the country. And in 1953, Kermit Roosevelt Jr. was a CIA officer on the ground in Iran. Yeah.

Literally working to subvert all of the media to turn it against the Ayatollah Which is what we did to tackle to shut down Iran Iran with the coup, right? So he spent all that time I think under a year to subvert the nation with bad news, right? So it's like the same thing of trying to fearmonger in the media here and Netanyahu knows the podcast world the influencer world is the one that's got more people You know listening. I'm not finding this post. They're claiming I

While we're on that, though, we talked a little bit about the left's way back. And we talk a lot about the three-legged stool of the right from the Reagan days, the economic libertarians, the, you know—

let's call them the hawks, the national security hawks and anti-communists, and then the social conservatives. And they were all united in their cause against communism, right? That was the seat of the stool was anti-communism. This is crazy. You think of the three-legged stool on the left, for the longest time, it had been kind of the technocratic institutionalist left, the civil rights left, and the

economic left, the workers unions, etc. So now you have this coming back where you can have an anti-war contingent. Senator Tim Kaine today has already introduced legislation or resolution that would condemn any sort of military action against Iran. You have a civil rights coalition which with the DEI mindset and this is probably the most the nuttiest leg of the stool but this is you know the same thing that drives

their impassioned defense of anti-racism and affirmative action is also driving their support for Palestine. You bring those people back into the fold. And then the institutionalist contingent, we saw there, they were a total flop, but the, we, the, the no more Kings, uh,

demonstrations over the weekend. Those are the institutionalists here. And you're bringing these people back together, breaking apart your own coalition at the same time, if you are one of those figureheads on cable news right now advocating for war with Iran because of the nuclear weapon, but not telling people what is inevitably going to follow if we're not super duper careful. So I'm looking up this claim of an ex-post. I can't find it.

And I've seen people posting screenshots. It's not on his page. And I pulled up his page, but it's just pictures of dead children and corpses and stuff from the war. So I'm not going to. But I went to his ex. It says on Hindustan Times that they're denying it. Our nuclear capabilities are the benefit of the people, our country, blah, blah, blah. Denying this claim has been made. But I don't see it on his ex page. The only thing I see going back several days is just pictures of bombs, bombs.

them saying Iran, Israel is going to be wiped off the map and dead kids from Gaza. Which is gross too. I just want to remind everyone. Maybe, maybe, I don't know. Also to just remain suspicious of every news that might confirm any bias you have about anything domestic and foreign. I have been seeing so many big accounts share bogus stuff all weekend, especially like the people celebrating allegedly in Iran in the tunnel.

old video bombs. There's certain bombs. Obviously some of these rockets are real videos. Others, totally fake videos, other things. Everyone's trying to win you over color editing to make it look more. Yep. Just like they made Trump orange. They're making fires more bigger. And, but they're from like two years ago, three years ago, you know, we keep seeing stuff like that. So just be very careful of the things that are making you emotional, you know, when it comes to this war, because,

We've been seeing I was just saying the other day how we were on IRL like a year ago talking about the hospital that was bombed. Yeah, and We were like, maybe this is having real news turned out the next day bogus, you know It was not exactly how they were portraying it as it's a fog of war and that's kind of become a little warm nowadays Yeah, you know, yeah, and then not to mention AI stuff. That's gonna be pumped out. I

Yeah, I mean, I still don't have a sense that there's a lot of AI stuff used to try to trick people, I guess. I feel like, you know, I don't get the sense that that is something that you see a lot of nation states doing now. They do propaganda in other ways. But that fog of war during the Arab Spring was...

You know, I think there was a quote from an Eisenhower administration official, might have been Ike himself, that said like, you know, this is all laying a bank of fog, the fog of war, and allows political operators in that fog to operate very, very, very shrouded, but yet right there in front of the public. You're just like, we need boots on the ground. And what happens when in Arab Spring, what happened with that bank of fog? All of a sudden, you have two

2 million to 10 million. That's literally the range of the estimates people coming in and fundamentally changing Western Europe. And Western Europe is, is a fundamentally different place because of the regime change wars that took place, uh,

And the uprisings that took place supported by Western powers. Funny enough, Eisenhower was the one behind the 1950s. He was the president during the Iranian coup, who also gave us the great term military industrial complex. Because he saw it up close and personal. He inherited the coup from Truman. And then he was like, yeah, let's do that. That's how they operate in the shadows. And all of a sudden, boom, your country gets hit with 2 million new migrants. Mm-hmm.

who are now taking over full neighborhoods and completely changing the way that your community operates, the culture of your community, the culture of your nation, the creed of your nation even sometimes. And...

And that could be coming on an even larger scale because we think that Shara is in charge of Syria. No, Syria is broken up into four different contingents, still all vying for power. It's going to be a contest between the Israelis and the Turks there. There could be a whole lot more bloodshed before that thing is over. How's Libya doing? How's Iraq doing? I have no idea how Libya is doing right now. Libya is doing very, very poorly. Libya is not doing well. Millions of people still.

plus what happens in Iran could come to the Western world and the West could be done as we know it. The story's out of Libya right now. Negotiations, how are they handled? I heard this from a friend who works in development in various regions doing like investments and things like this, that...

It's all tribal leaders now and negotiate by a group of tribal militia walked into one of the local magistrates, whatever they call themselves, put a grenade in the table and just said, this is how we do business. That's what it turned into. Yeah. Live grenade. Here we go. Well, we get what we want.

Apparently Hillary Clinton was wrong about what would happen in Libya. Publicly, she had her public position or private position, remember? Yeah. And publicly, she was like, we'll be greeted as liberators. I'm saying that facetiously. Behind the scenes, they knew exactly what they were doing in destabilizing the region. That was the point. Just like we did to Haiti. Yeah. Well, Haiti. Guatemala. Yep. I think the Arab Spring was an operation of the West.

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah, you think so? I wouldn't doubt it. So I was going to talk— What do you make of Egypt putting the quash on the Palestinian Gaza March?

It's completely expected. Yeah. I don't know. That's why we always make a joke where we're like, when these leftists argue about Israel-Palestine, we always say like, okay, we'll buy a plane ticket over there. Go for it. I've offered this to a lot of people and they never want to do it. I say, hey, I got an idea. How about we send you, we'll do a documentary, we'll film you talking about what you believe in, why you believe in it. We'll go to like the Rafah Crossing and then we'll film a whole thing about what you're doing, what you want to do and we'll see what happens. And then they're like, nah. Yeah. The challenge with it is,

will be liable when they die. And so it's like we can't really do it. Like Spanish Civil War, like all the Americans went over, got themselves in a mess. I'm just saying, like, if I told someone I'll buy your ticket to go to the Rafa Crossing, I'll get sued.

Really? You'd get sued? By the family for wrongful death. They're going to be like... Send them home. They're going to say, you know, knew, and even talk about on your show how this is going to result in death or serious injury, and you sent them there anyway. And I'm going to be like, they wanted to go. That's like, yeah, but they didn't know, and you knew they didn't know. Part of war correspondence. Yeah, sell the farm. You sign up for war correspondence. That's kind of what you get into. Yeah. You are liable for your war correspondence. That's why we don't do it. Yeah. So...

people don't understand this, like sending a reporter on the ground to cover riots is ridiculously expensive. Not because of the labor costs, because of the insurance costs. It's like, you're going to send someone into a place where they're going to get bludgeoned to death, where far left extremists are going to chase them down and kill them. Yeah, your insurance is going to get expensive real quick. Yep.

Yeah, it's dangerous. Look what Andy Ngo did, Richie McGinnis, these guys on the ground all 20 summer of love. Cam Higby just got a concussion. All of our psycho friends. Yeah, he got a tat. Yeah, exactly. Shout out to him. Shout out to our psycho friends. Pictures of his helmet. Yeah, Katie figured out who did it, too. Oh, yeah? Oh, wow. Well, let's jump to the story. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a crazy cover-up going on, in my opinion, that involves every level.

of the liberal establishment and government. Now, maybe I'm just being a little silly, but this is a crazy story. An innocent bystander was fatally shot at a No Kings protest in Salt Lake City.

I'm just going to say it right off the bat. The organizers of the protest shot randomly into a crowd and killed an innocent guy. And the police arrested one of the guys who got shot at. And now here I am. I'm going to say it. Stop making me defend Antifa. What I also want to know, too, is why didn't these guys have their less than lethal rounds? It's not legal.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. So cops have that? No, no, these weren't cops. These were liberals. No, no, no, I know. So cops have the rubber bullets. You're not allowed to have that. You're not allowed to have rubber bullets. You're only allowed to have real bullets. Yes. Okay. Right. So there's a group called Five— I get it now. I hate this group with a passion because they call themselves 50-51—

But it's not 55051. It's 50501. So it's 5501, but they call themselves 5051. So you can't accurately say it to a person so they can search for it. Right. Anyway. 5501, you could say that. 5501 organized the No Kings protest. 5501 is responsible for many of the protests that were organized. And they stated on Facebook they were directly involved in the shooting of an innocent person.

And the police arrested the guy they shot at. Now, there's video. I'm not going to show the full video because it's just a panning shot from a rooftop. But there are stills. The first thing I want to show you is this. This is from Utah News Dispatch. Man died after being shot in chaotic scene at Salt Lake City's No Kings protest. They go on to say...

In a Facebook post by Utah's 50501, the group that organized, it's working with police saying, quote, our team was directly involved. We have been in direct contact with law enforcement. Some of you seem to think a keyboard or social media gives you a free pass to be nasty and accusatory. Our teams just had to deal with something extremely traumatizing. And when faced with personal risk to their own lives, chose to run toward the danger in order to serve the community. Lies.

The video that was released shows a far left guy in black block. He's wearing all black as an Antifa guy. He's carrying a rifle legally pointed down to peacekeepers from presumably this group. They're saying they're involved, are holding pistols, pointing it at him, and they fire three shots. The dude ducks after getting shot at and runs.

They had already shot and killed the guy when this guy started running. The narrative they're putting out is they saw a man manipulate his rifle. And then when they yell them to stop, he ran into the crowd. So they opened fire and someone got caught in the crossfire. But when you watch the video, you can clearly see that is not the case. Now, the police are

arrested the dude who got shot. Shut it. It is not illegal to carry a rifle. Utah's permitless open carry. Why didn't they arrest the people that shot the guy? They are covering up the fact that liberal organizers shot randomly into a crowd and killed a guy. Insane. And the crazy thing is I'm finding a lot of people have no idea this happened.

Yeah, we had viral stories about this all weekend at the Postmillennial. So I'm going to show you some stills, not the actual shooting. Let me see if I can... Is that the guy's name? Gamboa is the guy who got arrested. Got arrested, yeah. Take a look at this. You can clearly see this is a video that was a panning shot from a rooftop.

You can see his rifle is pointed down. He's wearing all black. There may be issues of him wearing a mask and carrying a weapon, but I doubt it. I don't think that makes sense. And here you can see this is one of the guys wearing a green vest associated with the event, aiming a pistol at this guy. There's another man slightly to his right. I think we can grab that. There's another guy slightly to his right. You can see we'll pull this one up. Also aiming a gun towards Gamboa.

And they say Gamboa, when first shots were fired and started to run, the rifle was pointed down the whole time. He wasn't aiming at anybody. This is the guy that got arrested. Liberals on social media are calling Gamboa the shooter. Here you in here I am. You got me defending Antifa. Yeah. Of all people.

Yeah, because no one wants to read past the headline. Nobody on the left wants to admit that their protest, that their organizers shot and killed a guy. These are the people who organize themselves every seven years to say that police should shoot more people in the leg or something, right? Imagine if it was a competition. It almost gives me a little bit heart that there's still a hard left out there that knows how to operate and hold a gun in public. Keep it pointed down, boys.

I know my rights. I mean, look, I don't know that there's anything good about having a hard left out there. They've caused absolute chaos across the country for the past five years. The left in the U.S. has been a big problem, and I...

I can't see a silver lining. No, I keep it. I'm keeping it light. You're right about it. Police have said this. Police accused Arturo Gamboa, 24, of brandishing a rifle at demonstrators and running away from two peacekeepers who ordered him to drop the weapon. Police said Gamboa and Alu were both struck by gunfire after one of the peacekeepers fired three rounds. There's video. This dude's not brandishing a weapon towards anybody. He said that he was holding it in a firing position.

This is really weird. So he's probably got his hand on the...

This is a very weird story. I mean, just the fact that the dudes that shot people didn't get picked up is super, super weird. They're called peacekeepers. Yeah. So clearly. Point taken. It's so Orwellian. Clearly. They're obviously foot soldiers for domestic terrorists, but they call themselves peacekeepers, so the state protects them. Well, I mean, they're like the, what is it, the legal watch people at all the protests. You know, they wear the little green hats, and they're there to tell you what your rights are. What are they called?

I have no idea. You guys don't know about this? No. You know about this. About what? You know, like, at protests, at big protests, they'll always be, like, the...

The Lawyers People. The National Lawyers Guild. Yeah, and they have their little hats. They're a progressive activist group masquerading as a neutral law, legal observers. Yes, legal observers. If you join that group, you have a better chance of becoming a source-funded DA, etc., etc. Probably. The National Lawyers Guild show up at protests. They wear green hats, and they say we're just legal observers. They're actually progressive activists that are down there, and they get paid, and their purpose is to defy the police.

So there's never an instance where a legal observer will defend someone who's conservative or a cop. It's only ever in service to the insurgents, to the violence, to the riots and the protests. So this is going to be interesting that, you know, how this plays out. There's another video where the cops are running into the crowd and they're all screaming and pointing at the Antifa guy.

But I'm wondering, I just, you know, it's not good that Antifa is getting up in black block and carrying rifles into protests. At all. They've been doing it for a long time. They were doing it in 2020 in Texas. That's why that guy got killed, you know? Remember that? Yeah. Well, wait a minute. The guy that was in his car? Yeah. He shot. I don't know if that guy, I don't think that he... He wasn't, no, he wasn't Antifa. The guy he shot was like Antifa guy. Yeah, I don't think that's actually the case. Look at this. They're saying...

He did shoot a guy, but I don't think he was an Antifa guy. Who did? Who wasn't an Antifa guy? The shooter or the guy who got shot? The guy that got shot. He had a mask on his face. He had an AK and he walked up to the guy's car. He was not an Antifa guy. He was like a libertarian ANCAP guy. Oh, gotcha. He was not an Antifa guy.

One of the peacekeepers told investigators that he saw Gamboa pull out an AR-15 style rifle from a backpack. The peacekeepers then drew their firearms and ordered Gamboa to drop the rifle. Witnesses reported to authorities that they saw Gamboa lift the rifle and run toward the crowd while holding the weapon in a firing position. That is a lie. And it's on video. Absolutely insane. And I bet you the quote unquote witnesses were friends with the organizers because this is what the left does. And

Well, look, not that this guy who's getting charged is a Trump or anything like that, but they're going to throw under the bus anybody who's politically inconvenient. So when you've got organizers from the event shooting and killing an innocent guy, they're going to say, no, no, they're the good guys. It's really important. So my first time covering a active shooter situation was at the Butler Pennsylvania rally.

last July. And one of the things that I was told by my boss and friends who had more experience with this before was make sure that when you're doing voice interviews, like take people who are willing to put their name on it. Witnesses say,

have detailed documentation of this because one of the things that me, myself, and a bunch of other people saw was not only crooks go down on that rooftop, but we also saw people running through the crowd that we thought had weapons that at the time, you know, there's a lot of speculation now about a second shooter, but at the time we thought there was a second shooter amongst the crowd and people were saying that actively. And so that

at least from my experience, gives a little bit more credence to the idea that this is something that is going towards yet another cover-up of left-wing violence. And I don't want to distract us from what actually is going on in our country, but I will say, glimmer of hope from our last subject, Sean Parnell, who's a patriot who was there at that Butler, Pennsylvania rally, who was...

I saw physically pulling people out of Butler who were struggling to walk and things like that because they were elderly or fatigued. He is now one of the DOD spokespeople. He said, American forces are maintaining their defensive posture and that has not changed. We will protect American troops and our interests. So hopefully they were watching and they saw how upset we got. Let's jump to the story from the New York Times. We have...

We have the story suspect plans to inflict fear with wider killing spree. The man accused of assassinating one state lawmaker in Minnesota and shooting another could face the federal death penalty. He tried to attack two other officials, prosecutors said, and had many more on a hit list. Now, this story is crazy. An assassin, Vance Bolter, went to the homes of these lawmakers, shot them and their spouses. Two of them survived. Two of them died. And we don't know why.

The right is saying that this was this was done. He's a leftist who was angry that these Democrats crossed the line to vote with Republicans to strip immigrants of health care. This guy had been appointed to a governor's state governor board program by Tim Waltz. And you certainly don't appoint right wingers if you're a Democrat these days. But that was, I believe, in 2019. The left is arguing he's a Christian conservative pastor and Trump supporter, according to his roommate.

He had a roommate, despite having a family and kids and a giant house on a beautiful piece of property. Totally normal. He also had a roommate, two roommates actually, in a small place. And his friend ran Papa John's or something. And the roommate...

I mean, when I saw the roommate interview, I started to think it was really, really weird. - It is really weird. That's a weird roommate interview. - And everything seems so canned. First of all, I don't understand how a man that large could actually be on the run. I don't understand that at all. - And then also when you look at the surveillance video, it doesn't look like a very big fella.

No, because well this this manhunt is brought to you by Ozempic. Yes. Yeah, the roommate the room a part of the new ad campaign That's right. This roommate saying things that made no sense He made no sense. He was saying like he was trying to make it sound like they're just not political but also a Trump fan and

He kept saying things that I thought sounded forced. Like, he didn't like Jim Walsh or Jim Biden. Right. Give me a break. What are you even talking about? Give me a break. Jim Biden? Yeah, that's what the roommate said. That's his brother. Well, maybe he was just talking about Jim Biden. He's got no opinion of the president, but his brother rubs him the wrong way. Yeah, drove him to violence.

The whole thing is fishy. We know about Jim Biden. It's completely fair. I just don't get it. There's so much information coming out about it. It reminds me of Thomas Matthew Crooks all over again. Meanwhile, they're not going to. They've already said that he had some kind of manifesto and they're definitely not going to release. But the FBI just also said there was no manifesto. Well, then describing the things that actually sound like a manifesto.

- Is it because the FBI does this thing where they say it's not a manifesto, it's just a collection of organized notes with bullet points? - Yeah, okay, huh. That's an interesting way of saying manifesto. - It's a statement of principles, actually. - He said it wasn't like Kaczynski. I'm like, okay, well, that was a beautifully written manifesto.

It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was.

Whatever it is, this is terrifying. I believe he is an actor, some agent of chaos from someone behind the scenes. I'm shocked you think that. I know. Libby, Libby, this is what they do. I know.

How did he get a cop car? How did he get to run away for that long? You can buy an old cop car at a junkyard. And soup it up like that? Don't they take all the stuff off? I'm not on the conspiracy train here yet. Well, you better get on it. There's a lot that I can be convinced of still. Are you selling tickets? Or are they like geocache? I'm going to go get them.

The mask scared the bejesus out of me. I thought that was those pictures were so creepy. Yeah scared me to death The one thing that I can kind of say about this though is like with these conflicting conflicting left-right narrative I don't think that's as important. Of course, it's gonna be way more important because we're talking about the assassination of political leaders at this point But it just kind of speaks more to

um a portion of the population that is both crazy and have completely lost trust in the system completely but rightfully so so it's like a black pill and i think i think i like coming on this show because you guys challenge the system every day in a way that i think is morally responsible but uh

With my conspiracy train even? Yeah, exactly. Your conspiracy train. Because I think the deep state are accelerationists. Mostly the moon stuff. It's the moon stuff. Phil, don't get me started. The deep state are accelerationists. I think you should get him started. I love when people get started. Wait, wait, wait. The deep state are accelerationists that want to drop evidence on these people all the time that make either political side believe it's their enemy.

So it's like the no kings evidence then becomes evidence for the either political side to be like he's the other he's that guy is this guy they do all the time. It's just like the New Zealand guy was an accelerationist. I think they the whole accelerationist. I don't think there's a left or right to them. No, I will give you I think they have they want power and control and chaos. There is no left or right. I think they want the pension.

I will give you 72 more hours on this before I start to move in your direction. It'll take much less. Because if we do find out with certainty that he was a right winger, we'll probably know within the next 72 hours. What's with certainty? What? How do you get with certainty that he was a right winger? I mean, you...

Just because he voted a certain way. Thomas Matthew Crooks was an anarchist, but a Trump voter, but a lefty. He was a registered Republican, but he only donated to Democrats. He had no silverware. The whole thing is so weird. They had no silverware? Thomas Matthew Crooks' house had no silverware. These people are created in labs by the deep state to accelerate chaos. I don't think you're ever going to get me there. I'm on the show like one or two more times. We'll get you there. I will say, I just feel like at this point with the FBI...

under Kash Patel. Kash Patel has been reforming the FBI. A lot of people in that organization are patriots. A lot of people are deep state agents, and they are not happy with the way things are going. So I think that if this person, if they can create a very convincing narrative that this person was of the right, we will know within 72 hours. If they were of the left, we will go on and on and on, and we will not know. If they were some sort of...

I don't know. How would you describe the, like, deep state plant angle? Because I don't even want to take words out of that. It's to destabilize the entire country, throw us into chaos, hate each other...

create this illusion of the left-right binary and they just feed off of all of us. Creating money by making war and, you know... If we have zero answers six months from now, I will be more inclined to believe your position because we still don't know anything about Vegas. The thing is, though, you're not going to get answers. We're post-answers. This is a post-reality world. Nothing can convince anyone of anything anymore, which is they take advantage of that.

And they there's no Thomas Matthews Crooks. We don't even have answers on that that guy shot at the president Vegas we look what CIA does you have me on Vegas? We spent $100,000 in 1953 to destabilize an entire nation You don't think they're gonna groom some insane people with like MK ultra to carry out some death plan Like this is what they do. We have operation Gladio MK ultra chaos

This is what that world does. They create chaos and they don't care. They will sacrifice innocent people to get a narrative across. But nowadays, because it's accelerationism, they will plant things that will get either side to think it was their enemy. So then we're just fighting about it while they're just in the background creating war.

In my opinion. I could easily be convinced of this opinion six months from now. We'll revisit. I think it's more of a wait-and-see game for me on this one. It just scares the hell out of me that so many people distrust this system so much. I think that was by design. Well, I don't disagree that the CIA will MKUltra people because we literally know about MKUltra.

There's just so many people and a lot of them are crazy. Yes. And you look at these Antifa protests, you look at the things that these people do, and they are standing on the razor's edge, ready to be these assassins. I believe so. I believe in real monsters that are totally disconnected from the establishment and they're not puppets of some deep state. Clearly, there's monsters.

Once I saw the roommate videos, I started to have questions. But just go out after the show, after I inverted world live later tonight, look up Jimmy Shaver. Look up that what happened with him. He's a great example of someone that was tested on by Jolly West, who's MK ultra capabilities was around like Jack Ruby after he went crazy after shooting on Lee Harvey Oswald. And you see that kind of a crime scenario play out.

And that's the way I kind of see these things. - But with the roommates, you could have a guy who's a genuine nut with motivations, and the roommates could be the media plants. Could be the government narrative, whatever. - Oh, for sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah. - Do you jump, so like let's say the congressional baseball shooting when Steve Scalise gets shot. It almost seemed like, in my opinion, and you probably know way more about this case than I do, but it was like,

pretty cut-and-dry left-wing dude, Bernie Sanders supporter. Wanted to shift the power in Congress intentionally. Yeah, who's... Thin majority, and they said if we get rid of... And he was saying if we get rid of the Republicans, it'll be a Democrat majority. Right, but do you think that was...

Deep state? I don't know that story well enough. I think they're leftists. I think we watch the left get violent. So I think there's leftists who are interested. That's my point, right? Someone like that. Do you jump there first or do you explain it? It really depends on the story. I try not to jump to everything being connected to the deep state, but it does seem like a lot of that is, especially in the last five years when we had a reanimated corpse as the president. Bigfoot.

Bigfoot? Yeah. Well, yeah, interdimensional deep state. Interdimensional deep state. That's right. That's a different one altogether. He's actually the leader of the Bigfoot dimension deep state. You should call him later and tell us about it. You guys got Mothman out here, right? Yes. We do. Mothman. And the Flatlands monster. He's a good dude. The grafted monster. He's kind of a dick. I heard you were trying to book him next week. Yeah. Yeah, he owes me 10 bucks. A lot of these things have weird connections, just like Lee Harvey Oswald. That's another good example of a possible patsy. And all these different people in...

in that scenario connected to different like CIA. Just look at Sirhan. Sirhan is another example. That's wild. RFK Jr. doesn't even believe that he's that. When are we gonna get those files? I heard there was a drop recently. There was an RFK Jr. -RFK drop recently, yeah. -What was in it? I don't remember what was in it. I haven't seen them all yet. I'm still going through the JFK files. -Is this Polymarket now? -Yeah. -Oh my, oh my. -We'll get to that in a second.

Okay, but no, RFK, we haven't found it. They're out. But I haven't seen anything. So Sirhan Sirhan shoots this guy. There was another guy in the crowd who has a weapon, and he was ready to assassinate Bobby Kennedy. Yeah. And then Sirhan Sirhan says that he can't remember anything. Yeah, which is exactly what happened to Jimmy Shaver. Why is his name Sirhan Sirhan? It's one of those mid-century Islamic... I'm not sure. They do think it doesn't make sense. RFK Jr. doesn't believe that he's the guy.

He doesn't. Yeah. That's interesting. I think you'd want to know who killed your dad, you know? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And, yeah, Andrew Uncle. The Tim Dillon. The whole thing. Cheryl, there's a bomb in the car. It's so good. Let's jump to this one. We got this from Polymarket. U.S. military action against Iran before July. Now, it's dropped quite a bit.

Probably because of the statements they've given out. Oh, great. We're at 50-50. At 8 p.m., it hit 66.9% in the polymarket predictions. It's currently at 44. Thank goodness that it's below 50-50. But look at it skyrocket. Yeah, below 50. I'd still bet on it. So that tweet that I sent out. Wow.

That that shorting Iran, that tweet that I had read aloud from Sean Parnell, you know, when Marco Rubio and Trump posted the same exact statement right after the first strike, saying the U.S. had nothing, nothing to do with it. Alex Pfeiffer, who I'm not going to mess up his. Yeah. One of the deputy assistants to the president and president.

principal deputy communications director, he has posted the same exact thing that Sean Parnell had posted. This is not true. American forces are maintaining their defensive posture, and that has not changed. We will defend American interests. So this is literally copy and paste, and several Trump administration people are posting this right now. I think the likely scenario, as I mentioned, is U.S. forces protecting the Strait of Hormuz get attacked, or...

We have Iranians in the country right now that crossed through Joe Biden's porous border, and they engage in some kind of attack, retaliation against the United States. The sleeper cell situation. And then the media comes out and just says, we were attacked by Iran. It's Joe Biden's fault. That's going to get all of MAGA, not literally all of them, but a lot of MAGA people are going to be like, you see, we can't let them do this. This is Biden's fault. Trump's just responding because they attacked us. And that's how you get in the war. So I think Polly Market's right. I think it's probably still a 50-50 situation.

Spike is 67%. Yeah, that's quite a spike. Yep. Quite a spike, you think? Yeah. That's crazy. Yes. But, I mean...

I don't know. I would love to see the U.S. somehow avoid any kind of military action in Iran. Just all together. Like, I don't want to supply anything. I don't want to help anyone. I just want this country to be good and grow back to being something that's strong and not this mess. Back when we were just largely farming, minding our own business. It's been a long time since we haven't been at war in this country. We get rich on selling weapons mostly. Yeah. Yeah.

That's been the best thing for the economy. At least we sold them back then. It's disgusting. Selling them is better than just giving them away. If you want our weapons, great. We're going to sell them to you. Doesn't Israel buy our weapons? Yep. Now remember, if... Well, no, no. They do do a lot. They buy the weapons with the money. We give them money. We actually took weapons from Ukraine that we gave them and gave them to Israel. We give them

We give money to weapons manufacturers in the United States. They make weapons, then they take those weapons and they give those weapons to the Israelis. So the United States government gives...

We'll just use Israel in this case. Gives X billion dollars to a foreign country. The foreign country enters into a purchase agreement of U.S. weapons with the U.S. government. Then the taxpayer dollars that we had given to that country comes right back into the country, but only goes to folks who live in McLean and Reston. Right. And...

I mean, yeah, that's how this thing kind of goes time and time and time again. And here we are talking about modernization and this pivot to Asia. And I mean, this totally throws a wrench in all of that, in all of the...

I think dreams that the Trump base has for his presidency, and still, I think a lot of them still think that he can accomplish what he set out to do. The number one way that he differentiated himself were to take on the globalist sacred cows in 2016. It was foreign policy, trade, and immigration. And all those things were so tied together after 2016.

you know, 20 years of failed U.S. hegemony and new conservative leadership. And that's what attacked him in the end. You know, those things rose up against him and, in my opinion, shut the world down. You know I mean that. Like, I think they shut the world down as an attack on Trump. So you think that it was the whole...

I really do. Pull the shutdown with the world responding to the Trump presence. The world is in like the globalist power. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I do. I mean like Gaia or anything. Yeah, maybe. It is satanic. Of course you were going to say maybe. It is satanic. It is satanic, but like that is – and it just feels like we're repeating that now with all this fear of war. Now we have all this domestic stuff happening, all this violence, this –

We started this year with violence was this was planned for if Trump became president. I mean, this was always going to happen. Always the case became president because you have Democrat politicians go out there and advocate for political violence against conservatives. And they've been doing that, you know, since 2015. Remember how this year started? Tesla was blown up. Yep. A Bourbon Street terror attack.

I mean, this is... There has been multiple... A lot of violence. A lot of violence has been happening this year. It's everywhere. I mean, Red Yard's not correct, but he's definitely onto something when he's talking about the mood of the country. Oh, yeah. It's in a dark place.

And the hyperpolarization is only getting more pronounced because I've mentioned this quite a bit, but young people and old people are very different how they view the world. Boomers largely share a similar worldview.

Gen Z left and right could not believe in more different of things. No, they believe in completely different, almost completely different realities. And you can't convince them of anything. Because the issue is, you know, they don't have the same definition of sex. They don't have the same definition of biology or race or, you know. No reality. Yeah, there's no, it's a totally separate understanding of reality. It used to be like,

With the boomers, when the boomers were middle-aged, when they were in their ascendancy, they had essentially right and left had the same vision of what prosperity is in the United States. They had the same vision of what success would look like.

They just had different pathways of the right way to get there. And that's what they were always arguing about. Like when my stepmom, my stepmom, who's Democrat and my dad, who was a Republican, would argue at the dinner table, it wasn't about what the goal should be. It was about how to attain the goal. And now they have totally different goals if they can even identify what they are in the first place. And you have the, you know, the elders of Gen Z, like the millennials, millennials,

And Gen X have a completely different worldview as well. Like it's hard to mesh a millennial worldview with a Gen X worldview. And if Gen X, they're supposed to be the leaders, like they've been checked out since they, you know, since they got their first Atari. Well, notice that we're probably going to skip right over.

Gen X. Well, you thought that with the silent generation and then we got Joe Biden. So I would not. Silent generation wasn't skipped. No, but their only president, I think, was Joe Biden. Silent? The silent generation. Their only president was. I think their only president was Biden, wasn't it? Well, Reagan was greatest generation. Would you consider George H.W. his greatest generation? Clinton, Boomer. Boomer.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Boomer, Trump, Saab. Boomer. Boomer? Right on the line. I would say he's a boomer. Right on the line. He codes it. If he's not, he's definitely a boomer compared to Joe Biden, who's definitely silent. Yeah, I guess we didn't. I guess we were about to skip over the silent generation. We're about to skip over it. Gen X has a shot. So according to JGPT.

Trump is a silent boomer cusp. He was he was the I believe the very first year and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all as well. Forty six. They were all born in that same year. And forty six is the is the first year of the boomer, I believe.

That makes sense. But they're considered, it's like a boomer cusp. It's like how they say Xennials. Right. Joe Biden's the only actual silent of the past 10 presidents. Yeah. Let's try again. The greatest generation was H.W., Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon. Wow. Yeah. That's it then. Yeah. Pretty fascinating. He was the only one. All that to say, you know, Gen X still has a shot.

Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. We got what Gretchen Whitmer wants a chance. Oh, J.B. Pritzker. Isn't he Gen X? These are all terrible people. Terrible, terrible people.

But they want it. They do want it. They want it. What's Gavin Newsom? Is he a millennial or is he a gen X? I guess he would be. He's 3000. He's an ancient spirit. No, yeah, he's probably gen X. He's gen X, yeah. Wow. Shapiro could be gen X. No gen X presidents. No, I mean, if we see like a Vance Newsom, that's like gen X versus the millennials, right? Which is like what it's been anyway. Yeah. In business and everywhere else for a while now.

Yeah, I mean... Yeah, pretty interesting. But like, yeah, a Gen X president would be weird. Millennials are 15% of the House. Five millennials serve in the Senate. That's amazing. 71 millennials currently hold federal elected office. 71 federal? That's interesting. 71 millennials in federal office. What about Gen Xers, I wonder?

They're probably just at home, like, microwaving a hungry man. But it's, like, interesting to see, like, you mentioned that, you know. Zero. Zero. Not a single Gen Xer. I'm kidding. A hundred. I would have believed you, too. 41% are Gen X. Sounded okay. That's kind of wild to think. Yeah. The Pepsi generation is out there in Congress. You know what I mean? Remember those commercials? Choice of new generation. Generation next. You talked about.

The boomers kind of agreeing on the ends, but disagreeing on the means. And I'll adopt that framing for this, but it's kind of weird to see all these people who supposedly agreed on the ends and disagreed on the means living in and absolutely hating the world that their leadership was

And their parenting created. But that's because they have spent their entire lives, like since they, you know, since Woodstock or whatever, since they took their first hit of acid, they've been pushing back and rebelling against their parents. And even with their parents dead, they're rebelling against their parents. Right? That's still what's going on. I mean, look at

and the old folks home. They're all dating each other. They're smoking a lot of weed. They're like, oh, we're cool. It's like, no, you're just old and slutty. I'll go hit the No Kings rally. Yeah. Honestly. A lot of those No Kings rallies were old. Yes. The whole thing. And the way you can tell that we don't have a king is because you're

You're out here, people. No one cares. You get to do what you want. Because they are the generation of denial. Yes. Like the way they parented. They deny everything. Yes. They parented Gen X one way. Then they parented the millennials the other way. I don't have a chip on my shoulder at all. But, you know, they're out there doing like completely different things. They're running around. They're still doing the exact same stupid stuff they were doing. And if you happen to do something different than they did as a parent today, they take it as an affront.

I'm not saying all of you. Here's the other thing. The boomers, there's this whole, I don't know if you've gotten to this yet, Shane. I know we hang out and talk about this stuff a bit. But if you look, there's all these posts from Gen Xers and millennials being like,

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. They would drop us off for a whole month with our grandparents, and we loved it. My mom is somewhere. I don't know. She's on a mission trip or she's with her fifth husband. I don't know. She's definitely not coming by. I will say I love my mom. I adore my mom. Whatever. You got to say that. She came over on Christmas.

If I may for just a moment, I'm sorry, you guys. She came over on Christmas. I made this whole dinner. You know, like, you know, I cook. I make a whole thing. She comes over. She doesn't eat anything I make. Instead, she eats a kiwi fruit and some feta cheese. And when my son, you know, my kid, he adores you. He looks at Grandma and he goes, Grandma, what are you eating? Mom made this whole thing. I've been in the kitchen for hours. She goes, fuel. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you, boomers. We're good now. I know. Yeah. I don't see my parents as much as I thought I would. But that is something amongst that generation. Like, I just see it. It's a lot of them. I know. It's not everyone. I'm going to get some message. Like, it's not me. I guarantee it's not you. But it's a lot of you. And it is, I think, what you're saying, that rebellion, which I have in me, too. But like...

I swear to you, at some point it does stop with reality in me. Like I do have some lines in the sand, but my parents just keep, that's how they are. They're so distant. Yeah. They're so distant yet critical. I wonder, so one of the things that, that, um,

You brought up was how Gen X even in the private sector has been skipped over, right? So these boomers are retiring and then all of a sudden what are these companies... In the private sector, in colleges. What are they trying to do? Like they're trying to elevate millennials. And there's... The boomers are doing that. The boomers are elevating. Yes, boomers are retiring and the boomers that remain are elevating millennials. That's what's happening. I don't understand exactly why. And so this is my thing. Are they...

Is their refusal to retire into these super late stages of their lives, their refusal to give up power—I mean, I'm a Catholic. We even see this dynamic in the Church, frankly. Yeah, we sure do. Is it—

They don't. They will never admit it. But is it part of an awakening where they realize that they've squandered the inheritance that was given to them by the greatest generation? No, they don't realize that because they are entitled to it. They feel very entitled to it and they plan to squander whatever left of it they have.

So that they don't have to give it to their kids. And they project that entitlement onto everybody else. Yeah. And also don't forget the millennials have really nice CVs because they all have these participation trophies. So they can really pad it up.

Wait, were they the ones that were actually getting the participation? They were the ones getting the participation trophies. Yeah, the millennials. What a shame. What a terrible idea that was. And then Gen X is like ultra-competent, but they're ultra-competent in that way that people with traumatized childhoods are ultra-competent. It's like these are all just trauma responses.

They're ultra-competent, but totally, completely stay to themselves. Don't know how to lead. Don't want to lead. Don't want to lead. Leave us alone. Right, Phil? That's it.

that's it. Well, yeah, we were the latchkey kids. We were the ones that were left to go, you know, figure yourself out most of the time. And it's no wonder that so many of us voted for Trump and like got the country back. And now we're like, no, you can't go to war. Come on, just stay home. Make yourself a PB and J. It'll be fine. It will be fine.

Take yourself a PBJ. Go to the store, buy some Jif and Schmuckers and shut up. There's not enough. Well, I don't know. I don't know how the idea of war with Iran breaks down among the electorate. But I feel like Trump has to know that it's super unpopular.

I think he, I think he does know. I bet his advisors are telling him, I mean, he's got Vance who, my guess is, um, is probably opposed to us intervention intervention in Iran. And, um,

We actually ran a story at human events over the weekend with some inside sources who were like, basically, hey, Mr. President, don't do this. You know, don't go along with that. Everybody that I talked to with their head screwed on straight, in my opinion, are of the anti-war mindset. And this is...

Here we are. We talked a little bit about the big, beautiful bill, talked a little bit about the appropriations process. But what do you think is coming down the pike? What was one of the things that they tried to handcuff Trump with in the waning days of the Biden administration? What is one of the biggest mistakes that Mike Johnson made as Speaker of the House? It was that $95 billion supplemental spending package. And what did they do? Was that basically what got McCarthy out?

No, the debt limit deal plus general government spending levels is ultimately what did McCarthy in. This was in the spring of 2024.

It was—you know, Israel gets hit on October 7th. They pass about $10.5 billion, I believe, in aid to Israel. Then 2024 rolls around. And at the time, McConnell—Mitch McConnell was advocating for attaching a $95 billion supplemental fund.

foreign aid package for Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific, and Israel to keeping the government open. He was rebuffed by his conference. That ultimately ends in Mitch McConnell saying that he's going to step down as Senate leader. That enraged everyone. But one of the mistakes that Mike Johnson made, that Republican leaders made, was they decided to go forward with this supplemental spending package. And it was

Only $12 billion, $14 billion-ish for Israel. It was another $12, $10 billion for our pivot to the Indo-Pacific. And another $60 billion was for Ukraine. And it was one of the things that folks that I knew on the Trump campaign were concerned that it was going to blow up

the coalition in the run up to the election, because if these are the leaders that we have, if this is the Congress that we have. Yeah. When President Trump returns and they're kind of going along with this play to handcuff President Trump and his foreign policy decisions and his ability to make peace, then.

You know, what's the point? What's the point of all this? And so they were concerned that Trump was going to win the election and go in there without both chambers. They were concerned that that was going to cost them the trifecta. And frankly, in a certain way, it almost did.

It really almost did. And we're going to have another supplemental spending package, another foreign aid package coming down the pike with what's going on right now in Iran for sure. Because Libya, you said this earlier, and I keep saying things that Libya has said. Not Libya. I said Libya. But not Libya. You could go back to middle school and haunt me by calling me Libya. What Libby said earlier, because she made a lot of good points, which is...

that Israel says that they can do this thing alone, but the retort to that is they actually really can't because just as Iran is facing restrictions or limitations in their own capabilities, the Israelis are going to face that too and it's going to push Congress in the direction where they're going to have to act. And what are they going to put in that package?

That's what I'm concerned about. Are we going to do more Ukraine nonsense because we had to reposition assets away from the region and so we have to replace those things? You can almost guarantee. Let's move on. What is this? We have this story from Raw's Alerts. Hundreds, if not thousands, of kids and teenagers are staging anti-ice protests in Roblox. Oh.

That's really funny. Yeah.

And even opening fire on anti-ice protesters in the game. What this says to me, kids are going to grow up living in tiny rooms where they play video games all day and this will be their reality. Like in that Black Mirror episode where everybody lived in a box that was all TVs and they had an avatar version of themselves in the audience, but they never actually went anywhere. This is what kids are turning into. Don't let your kids watch tablets or iPads. And I'm going to say this.

I know a lot of parents out there that purport to be conservative and they give all their kids tablets and mesmerize them with it. And your kids are going to grow up to be developmentally disabled. This is the kind of stuff that's happening. I can't believe it. I can't believe the amount of people that I've seen who have kids and claim to be conservative, claim to be aware of what's going on. And then I see them hand a tablet to their kid and then turn around. And I'm like, yo, your kid is going to be – their brain will be jello. Okay.

Outsourcing parenting to the digital landscape is poison. And on top of all that, you also don't know who else is playing this. Like, you know, when I did that story with the Predators and stuff, a lot of those sick people, demons, are using things like Roblox to talk to kids too. Pretending to be kids and luring them out of the house. Yeah, well, there was a guy who,

Straight up pedophiles. Like straight up demon pedophiles. That happens a lot. Like they'll pay kids in-game cash for nudes and stuff. Yeah. Oh, that's real. Now I can't say what I wanted to say, which is we should all create accounts and be ice agents. No, I mean we could, and then we could go after those guys. Go after the pedophile? Yeah, we'd be like, we're ice agents in Roblox, and we're taking you down, mofo.

But these kids are going to grow up, and it's funny because you see this, their political action is going to be, I'm just going to sit at home and play video games. The state will be able to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, as long as they can live their life in a virtual reality. And I wonder if that is a goal and intention of powerful corporate interests. Well, if people are in a virtual reality, then they're not going to be motivated to go out and protest and stuff, especially when they can protest in the virtual reality where it's the ultimate. There will be no protest.

There's not going to be any real protest. You're going to go into virtual reality and you're going to be a demon slayer and you're going to have exactly what you want. And then when it comes to your first amendment, right, will be restricted to the server. Indeed. And no one will care because they grew up on it. It's exactly like, let me tell you this.

What if I told you, Shane, how would you feel if a cop came to your house and said that he was going to require all of your family members to register a number with the federal government where they would document and log you and your history and your work and what your family does? What would you say? They already do. Exactly. They live in a police state. And when you bring up that idea to people, they don't care. They go, what do you mean? We all get registered digital serial numbers with the government when we're born. Not if you have a home birth.

Out there. You're still legally required to do it. You still are. You don't have to give them a social security number. You are. I'm just telling it's a recommendation. And then they're undocumented. Yes. Yep. It will cause problems for that child possibly. They will be called undocumented. Yep. And what they are doing in the public space by calling illegal immigrants undocumented is lumping up anybody who doesn't enter the machine state with anybody who came here illegally. You're doing the same thing. I didn't get a social security number until I was like eight or nine years old. Really? Yeah. How'd that happen?

Well, because my parents were, you know, doing their own thing. And so I didn't have a social security number. I didn't get baptized. Was it like a rebellion of? No, they just literally could not be bothered. Now it's all automatic.

Is it automatic? Well, I mean – I had to apply for my son's 15 years ago. When you're born, they just gave us documents, said sign here, sign here, sign here. Oh, yeah. In the hospital. If you're in a hospital, they just come and it's just like – They give you all that and then you get the birth certificate. So these kids are going to grow up in much the same way. My grandpa told me this a long time ago. Rest in peace. He was saying when they told us we'd have to register with the government and get numbers, people were losing it. They were furious. Like what?

We got to register and get a government serial number? What do you think this is? And now he's like, you're all born with it. You don't care. It's normal. Did you see the thing where there are a lot of American airlines, like I think it's American, Delta, and United, and they sell passenger data to the federal government?

Wow. So they're tracking where you go and- They're all doing it. All that stuff. And they sell it to the government. And then Palantir, which I'm sure you have very strong opinions on- Don't get me started. I know. They have- They sponsored that lovely parade. Yes. They are working with the federal government to consolidate all the data.

so that there's no divisions between. Yeah. Unfortunately, they've been doing that for a while, but like, that's kind of, um, it'll be much easier when they decide to implement the social credit system. Yeah. So you guys are, you guys are more of my libertarian friends. And don't put, don't call me that. And then other on that, on that, on that. I'm just opposed to everything. What was, what was, what was counter-revolutionary and anti-communist? Can I call, can I call you all that? Look, that's pretty accurate. The, the,

This Palantir thing and the Doge effort to sync up the government data, right? One of the big complaints from Elon, the computers aren't talking. Fake story, made up. The computers aren't talking to each other. Story's fake. Story's fake. The New York Times ran the story and the headline didn't match with their reporting. And the reporting said, I love it. They use that language where they're like,

Palantir is working with Donald Trump in order to take all of America's data and compile a database some people think may be a possibility at some point in the future. And I was like, wait, what?

Everybody just ran with it. All the conservatives said, wow, I can't believe Trump would do that. And I'm like, yeah, I didn't either. So we pulled the story up and the New York Times said, we think Palantir might do this. And I was like, what? Palantir said they weren't doing it, but I think they've been doing it since 2003. And the people in the administration are still talking about it like it's going to happen. And there's a report coming out that just came out today about Trump switching over to a lot of AI systems in the coming weeks. My question is less about Palantir and more about the principle of the thing. Are you guys...

in favor or opposed to, as Elon said, the computers talking to each other within the government to make it more efficient. I want to add to all that. That, what you just described, sounds completely fine. Completely fine. Computers and government talking to each other to be more efficient. So that, like, the federal government as a single entity, they have a single database, so they can

The IRS can see immigration data or something? Can the humans understand the language that the computers are using? That matters. What? I said, can the humans understand the language that the computers are using to talk to each other? Computers talking to each other just means that if you work for the IRS, you can see immigration data.

Okay, that's fine. It doesn't mean the computer is literally going, hey, immigration computer, let me talk to you. Well, I'm talking about using AI or whatever. There was that story about the AIs that when they started talking to each other. That's not what this is. The issue that Elon is talking about is that if you're in the IRS, you can't see if someone's an illegal immigrant because DHS data is separated. So he's like, why can't we just actually see in the tax files that

We have the data over here. My attitude is the government has access to it already. It's already public data the government has. I don't care if the IRS goes through it and can see what DHS has. So one of the counters that I've heard from someone who is actually on the libertarian side of the spectrum is if I'm under investigation for something from the FBI or something like that,

that. And I'm at the same time, I've never been convicted of anything. I'm innocent until proven guilty. And at the same time, I'm applying for a small business loan, for example. Do I want the Small Business Administration to be able to see that I could be a no-good scoundrel that... Except they usually have in the application, are you currently accused of a crime or pending litigation and legal challenges when you apply for loans? There's even a box you can check on, you know, are you a no-good scoundrel? No, I know. You're required to. Yeah.

No, yeah, yeah. No, that's the whole ban the box conversation. But do you think, I guess in the scenario that I was talking about with this friend, which was like, what if there is a FISA thing or whatever? Let's just say there's part of, there's information that the government has that shouldn't be handed over to all the different organizations. I think it should. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You got to clarify what that means. What data could one agency have that another agency should not have?

That's an important question. Let's see. Because this was a comment from a friend, so I'll try to steal man. What about your debt? Like, what if you have tax debt that you're paying off? Should every agency know about your debt? Okay, let's go with that. They already have the right to know these things for the most part, and so what?

No, I'm just, you guys were looking for an example. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I don't care. Yeah. That's the one I came up with. I mean, there's already credit reporting agencies and they can just ping your credit whenever they want with it, whether you like it or not. Your taxes show up on your credit report. I don't think they do. The one thing that I think is, so when Obama did the ACA, there were, there was a lot of consolidation of data, computerization of data that had not been done before. And what that led to, right, was HIPAA, where you have to say like you, you,

agree that they can't share your data anywhere or like you have to sign off on that. I wonder if there is sensitive information that could be, you know, agreed upon of what sensitive information could be defined as if you could have some kind of HIPAA thing. Yeah. Or I don't know if the armed EPA agents know this or can access this already, but do you want the armed EPA agents knowing that you are a registered gun owner? Well, they're all armed. Yes, I do.

Every every every gun owner is armed. No, I think the the the benefit of the right to bear arms in a modern society is we do not want anybody shooting at cops. We do want the government to fear its citizens.

So, yes, I'd love it if they knew that I was a gun owner. Now, I don't think I should have to register my guns and tell them what guns I have or anything like that. That is a problem. But I don't mind if law enforcement is like, hey, let's be very careful going to this guy's house. They should do that with everybody. But I'm more inclined to think that those are like the second and third order effects of Doge that could really modernize and revolutionize government. The principal issue with government is corruption.

Yeah, because it's always going to turn into something. They sell it with good short-term benefits, like we're going to take care of immigration and stuff, which I want, mass deportations, but it turns into, I think, uglier stuff, especially who knows how the social credit score will work and what they could pull from from there. It's going to be beyond just government-collected data. It'll be...

stuff that you know complaints like we'll have personal yelps that the government will dip into it's gonna be can you get a loan can you you know use your credit card here can you can you be in this place like can you fly yeah can you you fly that's those kind of things are the the the most obvious biggest problem is not in my view the sharing of data the biggest problem is that

as the loss of community and that's going to destroy human civilization. So the way I tend to explain it is when you live in a small town and Shane is a young man and he's speeding down the highway and he gets pulled over and deputy comes up to the car and he goes, Shane,

What am I going to tell your daddy when I see him down at the bar? You were speeding again. And you're like, Deputy Smith, please don't tell my dad. And then he's like, well, I'm going to tell him. I'm going to let you off with a warning, but I'm going to see him and he's going to whoop your ass when he gets home. And you're like, ah, crap. In a modern society, the cop walks up and you go, excuse me, officer. And he goes, shut up. Here's your ticket. And you go, what?

what is this for? And he goes, don't care, tell it to a judge. And you're like, I wasn't speeding. He goes, have a nice day. And he leaves. I agree with you, but it would be worse than that because it's going to be a drone that you don't even interact with. Exactly. And the drone's going to pull you over and it's going to go, Shane Cashman, you are wanted for murder. And you go, what? And it's going to go, error, murder, error. And you're going to be like, I'm not. It's like,

It's like that family guy bit. The Terminator is going to walk up to you and goes, stop resisting. And you'll go, yes. And he goes, you are resisting. Lethal force authorized. You're like, I'm not resisting. I'm not. We're like in the fifth element. This is a police control. Yeah. The problem is once we get all this shared data, once the government grows to that point,

Have you guys... I've been watching Andor. Have you guys watched Andor? I haven't watched it in a bit. So the first season was from a few years ago, so this is not a spoiler. But basically the main character is on the beach and some guys are running from...

And then he's like, freaks out. So he like scoots up pretty quick and goes up the stairs. And then a trooper sees him and goes, hey, why are you running? And he's like, I'm not. I'm going to the store. And then he's like, you're suspicious. You must be with those guys. And then he has a droid come and hold him and arrest him for a public disorder violation.

And then within hours, they bring him up for a magistrate, go public disorder. He goes, I don't know what's going on. I'm just a tourist. And they go, six years, boom, off to prison. That's what's going to happen. It's like Les Mis. Or I was going to say Kafka. Yeah. That too. Trial, right? Yeah. There's going to be like— They don't even tell him what he did. They don't even say public disorder. Yes, but the reason why it's not Kafka, you're going to go to court and you're going to be like, Your Honor, please.

I actually was not the guy they're looking for. He ran past me. I was walking on the street. He goes, look, kid, you're probably right. All I'm all I'm supposed to do is my job is to bang the gavel and send you to prison. So sorry. Minimum requirements. Sorry. What's that? You're innocent. You can prove it. Look, man, all I do is bang the gavel. I don't know what you're talking about. Then the cop is like, you're probably innocent. But look, all I do is bring you to the car and everybody is just associated. Nobody acts like a human. That's we're already there. Oh, yeah. We're already there. Cops pull you over and say, don't care.

Fuck you. Here's a ticket. You're like, I didn't do anything wrong. Don't care. Tell it to a judge.

And then you're like, I got to take off work to go fight this. What do I do? I can't afford that. I guess I'll just pay it. Spend a license. So many people out there hate their jobs and hate everyone else. I walk into a lot of establishments. Maybe it's just a me thing, honestly. But I walk in a lot of places and it's like they don't want your business. They're actually mad that someone walked in to make them work. I hate that. It's insane. And it's widespread. It happens all the time. Especially at the airport. Or like if you walk into a Starbucks and they just look at you and then they go back to doing the...

mobile orders in the drive-thru. Or like, I went to a Baskin Robbins with my son and we were just like, let's get an ice cream. Look, there's a Baskin Robbins. Let's get an ice cream. We walk in, they stand there, you know, they're like doing drive-thru and mobile orders. We're like, hi.

They just like literally the person looked at me and then looked away. And that was it. We like stood there for a little bit, kept trying to get their attention. And then we left because not get any ice cream because they have no pride in doing a job or any job there. Look, everybody knows this. When you work fast food, you hate it when it's packed. Yes. But the business owner loves it when it's packed. I mean, I think there's a, there's a, there's a problem with how businesses are run to be completely honest. Um,

If you tell your employees, look, you're going to get $15 an hour, that's it, no matter what. It's like, okay, what if it's really busy? I don't know. Cross your fingers. I hope they give you tips. Nah, I would never run a business like that. I would start telling my... Surge pricing? No, I'd tell my employees, like...

We'll break it down by hour. Anything that exceeds the standard level, like here's how many orders we do per hour on average. When that exceeds, we do surge payouts for the staff. But would you do that if it was the reverse, if you go under that number of orders per hour? No. If you average 10 but then you get 5, what would you pay them then? Yeah, because average is average. But if we're going over...

then you're going to get a bonus for the excess that we do on these days. I think they should do that. But I do think you make a good point of sometimes business is bad and you've got to pay them anyway. The problem with that is Jim gets scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday morning, which are usually empty, and then Rick is there on Sunday, and he's got to work the 40 hours where it's double time, and he's going, why do you keep scheduling me on Sunday? Rick is on Tuesday, and nobody ever comes in. He's never doing any work, and I've got to split tips with him? Screw that.

We got to go to chats. My friends, smash the like button. Share the show with literally everyone. You know, true story. The other day, some lady said, my sister-in-law just told me about your show. I love it. I think you do a great job. And I was like, it's working. So call your sister-in-law right now and say, what are you doing? Do you watch this Timcast IRL? It is the best. And literally say it just like that. And they'll go, why are you talking like that? Don't forget, we're going to have the uncensored call-in show at 10 p.m. at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL. You don't want to miss it.

Make sure you sign up for our Discord server at TimCast.com to get involved with our community. Maybe you're somebody who needs help getting started with some project. Tens of thousands of people are waiting to help you out. Maybe you're someone who knows how to do a project. Maybe you're like 50 and you're semi-retired, but you're really, really good at making birdhouses. I bet there's a guy in that Discord that's like, I really wish someone could teach me how to make a birdhouse. And that's you. They need your help. So join our Discord today, and you can actually call into the show Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m.

In the meantime, we'll grab your chats, my friends, and see what y'all have to say. We got Mitho671. He says, honestly, I'm kind of here for this fight. Where do you think all the bombs that hurt and killed our military in Iraq and Afghanistan came from? Indeed, from Iran. And that is the argument. There's a viral tweet going around right now saying that the U.S. just found a massive nuclear enrichment facility. It's from a month ago, actually. That's probably why they want to attack Iran.

Once again, the argument is Iran's going to get nuclear weapons and they're going to make suitcase bombs and dirty bombs. They're going to give them out to a bunch of crazy wackaloons. And then, oh boy, that's the argument. All right. Pekora Rod says camping gear makes good emergency preparedness gear. You also get to use the camping gear to go camping. A camping stove, ice in your freezer and some canned goods is great for a power outage. You know, we love doing we have a camping stove, some propane. We could go down by the river.

You get a fire going or use a stove and it's just early morning, the river, you know. Run into Chris Farley. There's box turtles walking around doing turtle stuff. I love that. It's great. Yeah. Turtles are great. They hide. There are a lot of turtles around here. There are. A lot of turtles. A lot of deer at night. A lot of deer. Watch out for them. The Appalachian Path, you know. Trail. The trail. There you go. You walk down that, the canal, there's probably 20,000 turtles. Like, not even kidding. Yeah.

You see a log? 15 turtles on it. And the turtles, it's crazy because they're big. I'm like, those guys are like 20 or 30 years old. Crazy big guys. If you're a turtle, come to West Virginia. It's not a bad spot to be a turtle. We do love turtles. Take your time. There was a bunch of flooding on the other side of the state, though. Did you guys see that? I mean, we've gotten more rain than we've ever gotten ever. It's been raining, and it's going to start again all week. It's crazy. We've been dealing with flooding. We have pumps.

Yeah, so we got to figure that out. But for those that are fans of Fallout 76, have you ever played that video game? Yes. No, but my son has. He tells me all about it. When you go to the river, you will hear these loud squeaking sounds. Those are the spring peepers. I love the spring peepers. Yep, we got them all over. And it's funny, I'm playing Fallout and I can hear the peeper track and I'm like, we got those spring peepers. Little frogs. Around March, they start going, meep, meep. Really loud. It's great. They're basically saying, hey girl! Hey!

For real, that's what they're yelling. Because the girls don't make the sounds, only the boys do. The boys thaw out. They're standing there and they're going, which is their equivalent of, yo girl, come over, I got a place. They're just catcalling. Literally. There was a comic. First thing when I do when I wake up, I start catcalling. You and the little sexy frog. There was a comic. I can't remember who it was from, but it was like someone was, all the birds were singing and they were just like,

man, I wish I could understand what those birds were saying and know their language. And then a genie was like, granted. And then you hear them all being like, I want to get laid. They're all screaming because the girls don't scream. They're just being like, hey, girl. And then the girls come find the guy and the girl comes with the frog and she's like, you peep pretty loud. And he's like, damn right. And then they hook up and have frog babies.

On that note, I'm going to head out, guys. I'll see you all later. Thank you. It was great seeing you all. I'll catch up about the Antarctica. Yep. 10 o'clock, YouTube Rumble, Inverted World Live, call-ins, phone lines are open until midnight. See you all there. Phone lines are open. That's it.

You must get crazy calls. We need ghost stories. Yeah. That's what it is. I went on a road trip when I was driving from the North Dakota Pipeline protest across the U.S., and all I did was listen to this podcast where it was people who called in and told ghost stories, and it was the best podcast. I can't remember what it's called. I listen to a lot of those ghost story podcasts. I don't like the true crime, but I like the ghost stories ones. Because there's like some old guy, and he's like, I went down to my basement, and I saw a man with a sword. Do you ever listen to Radio Rental? I was like, whoa.

It's crazy. Radio Rental has creepy ghost stories type things. Tales from the Inverted World has creepy ghost stories. Yeah, that's good too. All right, let's grab some more. What is this? Neboop says WC-135R Constant Phoenix is airborne in the U.S. nuclear detection aircraft. Only up when there are threats. China warns of Chinese to leave Israel via road. Whoa.

Spice Chip says, Tim, you said in an IRO months ago, the deep state would allow Trump to be the Republican nominee in exchange for continued wars. Indeed. My point was that Trump went to the deep state and says, I said, maybe he surrenders. Maybe he gets a deal. Trump goes, listen, this constant war of trying to put me in prison is not working. My base is strong. You're not going to win. I don't want to keep fighting. Leave me alone. They say, OK, here's the deal. We'll let you run America as you want, but we get war with Iran. Maybe Trump said yes.

Israel-Iran trending, 1.42 million posts. Wow. I swear, we're going to wake up and it's going to be like U.S. jets bombed by Iran. Because we've already had Iranian-backed rebels attacking U.S. military assets. Sirens across northern Israel following another barrage of Iranian missiles. All installations across the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility have raised their force protection condition from Alpha to Bravo.

Is Bravo worse? I don't know what that means. No idea. Yeah, I don't know. It's like five minutes ago. All right, let's grab some more. Uh-oh. All right, here we go. We're loading it up again.

Let's see what we got. Just want to shout out that Roblox guy who, yeah, he's waving a Mexican flag and his avatar has a Lakers jersey on. Oh, hey, good for him. I think it's the most apt. Yeah, that's pretty good. All right, we got Schlip who says the Short Act and Hearing Protection Act are both in the Senate finance bill. Yes, they are. This makes me harder than John Bolton thinking about war with Iran. It's great news that the Short Act made it. I can't believe it.

But it actually might... So this is short-barreled rifles and suppressors. Short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns. I am going to buy so many. There was a... We went out with Phoenix Ammunition, and he had a... It was a pistol, but it had a brace. So classified as an SBR, an NFA item. And it's just the safety of it, you know? The safety increase of this weapon. Because the accuracy. Now imagine if these guys in Utah...

had short-barreled rifles, 9mm, instead of these handguns where they couldn't aim. Their accuracy would have been better, and they wouldn't have killed the innocent bystander, only the innocent man they were shooting at. That would have been such an improvement. And you got me defending Antifa again. I don't like them, but you're allowed to open carry in Utah. They shot at some random guy for open carrying. That's insane. Yeah, that's nuts. Jeez, anyway. And then the cops seem to be backing them for doing it. Seem to be. Yeah.

Soapy Enigma says, can we call this the Summer of Kings instead of Summer of Love 2.0? I liked it. Yeah. Summer of Kings. Every home a castle, every man a king. You see what Michael Malice posted? What? No, I didn't see it. It was an AI image of Martin Luther King Jr. And it said, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is racist against white people. Hashtag no kings. Spread the word. Something like that. No kings. No kings.

Yeah. All right. Heron Gaming News says, do you think that it's possible the police won't arrest the 50501 terrorist that ended that guy in black because they want to wait until the officers aren't in danger? The guy in black was arrested and charged with murder. The guys who did the shooting haven't been arrested or charged. It was some random guy walking past who was shot and killed. Very weird. I think they're trying to cover up right now that the liberal organizers of the event were the ones that killed a random person. Yeah. Something doesn't make sense.

They don't want the narrative in the news to be no Kings protest organizers shoot and kill innocent bystander. Yep. That's why even in media, liberals are claiming the guy who got arrested was the shooter. It's not following the. Yeah. Or they're intentionally trying to obfuscate what really happened. I'm seeing activists. They don't want to take responsibility for this. They don't want to say, oh, that was us. They're saying, yeah, that crazy guy with the rifle, you know, they got him and they're calling him the shooter. It's crazy.

All right. Your boy says, Phil, if World War III really happens, you very well could be all that remains. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible dad jokes. All right. Jay Jones Clark says, Tim Kessler, have any of you seen Clayton Morris's interview with Daniel and Shelley Rawlings on Redacted? What's your thoughts? I haven't. What is it? I haven't either. No idea. Sorry, homie. Well, all right.

M.F. Damien says, I voted for the opposite of getting involved. If we do, impeach his ass. A, not our business. B, can't afford it fiscally or karmically. You know, this is the challenge. Are you really going to vote for a Democrat if Trump goes to war with Iran? A lot of people are not going to vote for Trump, but I don't know that I could muster up a vote for any Democrat. Not any of the ones that are certainly on the horizon right now. War with Iran would have come under the Biden administration all the same. Yeah. And...

Anti-woke is the net minor net positive I'm willing to take. Libertarians won't back Trump, though. So Democrats will get a they'll get a boost. So we'll see what happens. A lot of people will stay home. That's that's you know, I respect the call for for impeachment and being irritated about this. I think I've made myself very clear that I'm not happy with this situation either. But like.

What, you're going to get a majority of the House to vote against President Trump? Yeah, right. You're going to get two-thirds of the Senate to vote against President Trump on this particular issue where there has been a lot of...

of bipartisan support, whether that's genuine or manufactured by our current political system, you're not going to get that. The best thing that you could do is make yourself heard in the ballot box and make yourself heard in the public square. I mean, I think one of the things that we underestimate a lot is how closely, whether that's this administration or previous administrations, do pay attention to the online discourse.

And use that to the best of their ability to figure out where the American people are at. And luckily, if you are loud, louder than the pro-war contingent, maybe you can have your voices heard before then. Who's the pro-war contingent? Huh? Who's the pro-war contingent? Neocons? Yeah, all the neocons. The people who support DeSantis are largely...

You know, they love to go, I'm not pro-war. And I've seen a lot of these people say pro-war is such a stupid thing to call it. Nobody wants the war. And I'm like, I'm generally just saying you support U.S. involvement in foreign conflict. And let's look at how this narrative has shifted for the last, you know, however long this has been happening, 72 hours, more than that now. This is Israel's war. We're not asking you to send your boys and girls overseas. This is Israel's war.

but we still need some assistance to actually get the job done. This is Israel's war, but we're so excited to have your Nimitz class, your Nimitz group, and your—what were the planes? The refueling planes, and your war assets repositioned to the region so that if FIT hits the Shan, you will come to our aid.

I love that. I see that in Wag the Dog. When the fit hits the shant, somebody's going to have to stay after school. Robert De Niro goes, I have no idea what you're talking about. But that's the thing, right? This is how quickly this narrative has shifted.

And those are the people who I am interpreting now as the pro-war contingent, because at some point they're going to have to acknowledge that Israel can't go it alone. This is what Bannon's been saying over and over and over again. Hey, you pursued your national interest.

You have to make sure that you can do this by yourself or this is not something that's in our interest. John N. says, let's talk about how much support Trump will lose over this. And he loses the midterms, House and maybe Senate. I don't know. I think we're going to see all the polls skyrocket and the media is going to be like, you know, this is the first time we've seen Trump truly doing what a president needs to do. That's generally what they do. Rachel Maddow is going to come out and she's going to say, I was wrong about Trump. He's the greatest president for putting Bruce on the ground.

She's going to love it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I think it'll stay. I think the, I think it's all baked in at this point. Yeah. I'm not so sure that, that, I mean, I, I think the only thing that can derail at this point, the Democrats are in such a mess and in such disarray. The only thing that can derail a strong showing for the Republicans is the economy. So just as long as the economy's, you know, plugging along and, and people are feeling like they're,

going to be employed and their job is safe and they're feeling like they can pay the bills, then I think that that's the best chance the Republicans have. Yeah. In the fall. It's a dangerous situation. The approval rating can only go down. I think there's no off-ramp because...

They say that every seven years, every cell in your body has been changed. And that means people like Mark Ruffalo are composed of cells that are ingrained in hating Trump. There's nothing you can do to break that image from his mind. You can try to explain that that story was a lie and this story was a lie. But we're talking about a flower that has grown in a pot of I hate Trump.

You're going to try and go all the way back to the origins of Trump and try and correct every single lie they've ever seen. It's not possible. Because in their mind, the average person doesn't know or remember the data points they've collected that brought them to that point. So it's not even an issue of, listen, you hate Trump because of these stories principally. It's you don't even remember why you hate Trump. So it's...

When you see a video of him, your brain goes into the this is wrong for all the reasons I assume. Trying to explain to someone why, like when that soy pill guy came on and said Trump didn't call. He did say he wants to condemn the neo-Nazis, but he made the argument that Trump and everybody knew it was organized by neo-Nazis. So Trump shouldn't have been defending it at all. They're still always going to make an excuse why it doesn't matter if they're wrong because they're technically right.

So take an anti-Trump person, seven years later and their entire body is just ingrained. Orange man bad. I doubt you'll be able to pull them out of that cult. People do come out of it. I mean, you remember Brandon Strzok who did the walk away? He had a whole thing about it. That was a long time ago. It was a long time ago. The question that I'm asking is some people may still break out for sure. Trump is doing well. But I'm saying like there are people that are just gone.

I don't see that. Like Rosie O'Donnell? Yeah. I don't see her coming back. And it's hard to see America...

humming in the next four years in the same way that it was humming in 2019. I mean, we were moving and grooving. There were some unanswered campaign promises. We were struggling to get the wall built. We were struggling to bring the troops home. Deportations were not at the levels that they currently are at. But as you said, Phil, at the end of the day, it was the economy. And that economy was going gangbusters until Wuhan. Until COVID. Wuhan went on us. And

And it's hard to imagine, I think, an economic scenario in the next 18 months where we can get there, even if they're able to pass this big, beautiful bill by July 4th. I agree with you. I don't think that the key to winning is having an economy like in 2019. I think the key to winning is having an economy where people don't feel like

They don't feel the inflation anymore and they don't feel like they're treading water and still drowning or they're constantly getting behind. One last one. We got Corn Pop who says the airport in Israel is closed until further notice, Tim. Nobody can leave the airports. The airspace in Israel is closed down.

So the only ins and outs are by road, and we know who surrounds. And boat. Yeah. But we know who's surrounding Israel, so good luck with that. There were a bunch of Israelis who ended up stuck in Cyprus. Wow. And I saw some footage. Nine people managed to get a tugboat to take them home. Wow. My friends, smash the like button.
