Shownotes Transcript

Yesterday, power went out across parts of Europe in Spain, Portugal and a small part of France. I believe in the Basque region. Not a expert on European geography for the most part, but this is isolated largely to Western Europe. We don't know what happened. Now they're saying it's a strange atmospheric phenomenon that caused the power to go out and they are ruling out a cyber attack.

However, despite this, we are still hearing reports that not only is a cyber attack still a real potential with the escalation of conflicts happening around the world. There are a lot of threat actors, as it were, who may actually try to strike at NATO resources wherever they can. Why Spain? Nobody knows for sure. Now, last week, it was reported that there was a Russian cyber attack. Days ago, it was reported there was an attack on Iran, a cyber attack.

And we in the United States have been attacked by China basically every day for 20 years. They're constantly trying to break into our systems for data, worse, our industrial control systems. These are the mechanisms by which we control our electrical grid, water pumps, chemical facilities, etc. But right now, strangely, you know, it's not...

It's tough for me because it's not really the kind of story that I go after because it seems so outrageous. But we are getting this report, not just from Express.co.uk, but also The Guardian about a potential solar storm worse than Chernobyl. A warning after the Spain and Portugal outages. Was this actually caused by a weather phenomenon?

Maybe a weakening of the magnetosphere, which allowed solar radiation space particles to blast our electrical grid, shutting it down. Maybe NASA has been investigating a dent in the magnetosphere for some time, but I'm not an expert. So we will be bringing in one of the experts, if not the expert, Ben Davidson, later on to break down for us what this may have been. He did a big stream on what happened in Europe. But there is a concern now. And this, my friends, is mainstream.

You know, when you talk about things like a solar storm worse than Chernobyl that could knock out the grid and cause nuclear meltdowns, they say that you're a conspiracy theorist. You're blackpilling.

But then The Guardian and Express published this story both just one day on the same day, actually, as this disaster. So we're going to break this down and go through what exactly this could mean and what the real threat of war may be before jumping into that interview with Ben Davidson, who's going to break down some of the science for us and what we may be about to experience. Now, before we get started, of course, shout outs to Stephen Crowder and the Mug Club.

Solar storm worse than Chernobyl, a warning after Spain and Portugal outages. Experts claim there is a possibility that solar storms will hit more frequently now than in the past.

They're going to mention the Chernobyl disaster took place April 26, 1986, a nuclear accident in Ukraine that occurred as a result of a reactor explosion that led to vast amounts of radioactive material being thrown into the environment. The impacts were severe and it remains the worst nuclear disaster in history.

Now, scientists suspect that solar storms powerful enough to collapse portions of modern power grids for months may hit the earth more often than once in a century, according to The Guardian. And this is where we're currently at. How a solar storm could lead to a U.S. nuclear disaster worse than Chernobyl. And in fact, they go on to mention solar storms, these fears and why it's coming up. Now, I have a few questions.

Why publish this story just before this grid goes down? Did anybody know about it? Probably not. But it is an interesting coincidence. There has been speculation for some time. We have we have these stories from NASA. Mind you, this is from 2023. Scientists are getting kind of anxious about a pothole in space. Indeed. And this has been known about for a long time. So I wonder when people start speculating.

Popping up with these narratives saying, hey, guys, scientists, researchers, space weather experts are warning that the magnetosphere of Earth, which is basically a force field that repels space particles, solar wind, et cetera. There's a hole in it. It's getting weaker. Something may be coming. And then a day after this story is published, you get a power outage that they are saying is the result of induced atmospheric vibration. People start to wonder.

Now, we don't know for sure, because, again, there are still people who believe it may be a cyber attack. They are ruling this out. The other explanation is that around the same time, just the day before, Spain announced that they were going totally green energy. Solar panels would power everything, not literally all solar panels. And then the grid went down.

Perhaps this narrative of solar storms or cyber attacks is to cover up policy failures from crackpot leftist politicians that have been arguing for renewable energies which cannot sustain a system. And look, I'm a big fan of renewables, my friends. I like the idea, but we don't call them renewables. We call them alternative. Why? They don't largely get used for something as positive.

And are grandiose as powering an entire grid for a nation. It requires more energy to produce them than they will output. Unfortunately for us, fossil fuels still the best energy return on energy invested, though nuclear can rival this. Maybe fusion energy will come soon.

But these politicians in Spain and in Europe and even the U.S. have been bragging and demanding for these systems. Could it be that actually what happened in Spain is not a solar disaster, not the pending end of the world, not a Russian threat, but their own failures smacking them in the face? And then once again, they want to cover this up.

Perhaps with the Daily Mail reporting, could renewable energy be to blame for a huge Spain blackout? How outage struck days after the country's grid ran entirely on green power for the first time? OK, I'm going to lean towards. Yeah, that that may be the case. But let's do this first. I want to give you the context around what happened in Spain. They are ruling out a cyber attack. But what are they claiming happened? We have this report from the BBC.

Spain rules out cyber attack, but what could have caused the power cut? The Spanish grid operator has ruled out a cyber attack as the cause of a massive power cut that crippled Spain, Portugal and parts of France. Red Electrica's operations director, Eduardo Prieto, said preliminary findings suggest there was no kind of interference of the control systems to imply an attack, echoing Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro the day before. But the exact reason behind the cut is still unclear.

The grid operator said on Tuesday they cannot draw conclusions until they get concrete data. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said investigators were trying to pinpoint the cause and then would take all necessary measures to ensure that this does not happen again. Information is trickling out about what happened at the time of the cut, leading to theories about what could have caused it. Experts told the BBC it was likely caused by several failures.

Sanchez on Monday said 15 gigawatts of power, the equivalent of 60 percent of demand at that time, was suddenly lost from the system in just five seconds. Mr. Prado said during a news conference on Tuesday that there were two disconnection events, barely a second apart in the southwest of Spain where there is substantial solar power generation.

Indeed, guys, as much as we may want to believe that there is a big apocalyptic event, I know it's funny, like who would want to believe it's going to happen? It does sound a lot like policy failures and psychotic ideology are destroying these countries and they don't want to admit it. But hold on. Let's read more. They're going to say.

One issue that the Spanish grid operator may have been referring to was when power companies identify a mismatch of supply and demand for electricity that could lead to instability and disconnect temporarily in order to protect systems. However, Sanchez later said the power cut was not a problem of excessive renewables.

He said there was not a failure of coverage, meaning supply, and there was a relatively low demand for electricity that was quite normal in the days running up to the crisis. So what happened? It's unclear, especially as many systems fail in electricity supply quite frequently. Not only renewables and outages of this scale happen, and I'm sorry, not only renewables and outages of this scale happen somewhere in the world around once a year on average. The mismatch between supply and demand electricity can change the frequency of the electricity grid, which is 50 hertz in Europe and the U.K.,

If that frequency changes out of a narrow range, it could lead to damage to equipment. When a big company detects that the frequency is moving out of their tolerance, they can go offline and protect equipment. Okay, fine. But why? Why wouldn't they just say that? Is it because they don't want to admit it? They don't want to admit they made a mistake? Some guy pressed the wrong button? Maybe. Was it linked to a rare atmospheric event?

The message in Portuguese said that due to an extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines, a phenomenon known as induced atmospheric vibration. These oscillations cause synchronization failures between electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network. Live science or is it live science? I don't know.

It's probably live science. It says, what is induced atmospheric vibration? And did it really cause power outages across Spain and Portugal? They say the exact cause of the blackout remains unclear. The reps of Portugal's electricity network, this is what we get. They said it was induced atmospheric vibrations, synchronization failures. The blackout that hit the entire territory of the mainland Portugal today is the result of a significant voltage fluctuation in the Spanish grid at a time when Portugal was importing energy from Spain.

With this fluctuation, the control and protection systems of the Portuguese power plants, as expected in a situation with this configuration, shut down, causing the blackout. They're going to say these conditions have been in place. They may have triggered abnormal oscillations in very high voltage lines. Although investigations are ongoing, some early media reports are mentioning a phenomenon known as induced atmospheric vibration linked to unusual atmospheric conditions, including rapid temperature variations and resulting wind patterns.

I can already tell you what a lot of people on the left are going to say. They're going to say climate change. That proves it. Because anything that ever happens at any point, any time related to weather is going to be global warming. And then when you point out that actually it was a phenomenon of getting colder, they say we mean climate change, not global warming. And I say pick one. So long as Barack Obama...

is going to complain about climate change and global warming and then buy waterfront property that will be underwater in 20 some odd years, according to their arguments. I'm just not going to believe them. I got to be honest. I'm greatly concerned about pollution. I don't think we should be polluting the planet. But there are many people who believe that what we are witnessing and experiencing in terms of atmospheric changes and climate changes, these are largely related to cycles of the earth and the sun and not anything man has done.

Far be it from me to tell you exactly what. I don't know. They're going to mention protection systems are designed to automatically disconnect affected power lines in response to such faults. So it's actually quite simple. They're basically saying that the temperature fluctuated rapidly in Spain. This caused an issue with the Spanish grid operator that triggered emergency breakers, which shut the system down.

boring, I guess. The question then is what's causing these temperature driven power surges? They mentioned in a 12 hour blackout across much of Italy in 2003 was triggered by an issue with a hydroelectric power line between Italy and Switzerland and a 2006 temperature driven power surge in Germany caused power cuts across France, Italy, Spain and Belgium and even Morocco. One of the largest blackouts in history occurred in India in 2012, affecting over 600 million people.

All of Portugal and 99% of Spain now have electricity and authorities are working to figure out the true cause of the incident to stop it from happening again. Now, interestingly, this story from The Guardian gains traction because just the day before this grid goes down, there was a warning about solar storms knocking out our electrical grid, resulting in when the power goes down, the cooling systems fail and you get a reactor meltdown. Now that's something.

This article comes out the day before. I'm not suggesting they knew in advance or anything. I'm saying we usually just call that a warning, right? If a bunch of experts come out, I don't think this is a bunch, but let's just say a bunch of scientists come out and say, hey, we're concerned that the data we show is indicative of a coming earthquake in this particular area. Everybody should be warned. And then a day later, the earthquake happens. It's just that's predictive science. This is worrying.

fears of solar storms becoming more frequent, knocking out power grids. And then a day later, grid goes down due to atmospheric conditions. I think a rational person might say these are connected. Here's a story from The Guardian. And on May 14th, I'm sorry, on 14th of May, it's British, by the way, 1921, a powerful solar storm called the New York Railroad Storm caused the northern lights to illuminate New York City's night sky.

On Broadway, crowds lingered, enjoying flaring skies that remained undimmed by city lights. The following morning, excess electrical currents shut down the New York Central Railroad signal and switching system in Manhattan, stopping trains. A fire broke out in a railroad control tower that was located at Park and 57th. Smoke filled the air along a stretch of Park Avenue. Residents were coughing and choking from the suffocating vapors which spread for blocks.

When a solar storm's electrically charged particles envelop Earth, they cause geomagnetic storms that generate electric fields in the ground, inducing electric currents and power grids. Solar storms as intense as the 1921 superstorm have the potential to cause a nightmare scenario in which modern power grids, communication systems, and other infrastructures collapse for months.

Such a collapse of power grids would likely also lead to nuclear power plant accidents whose radioactive emissions would aggravate the overall catastrophe. Scientists estimate that solar storms powerful enough to collapse portions of modern power grids for months may hit Earth more often than once in a century. In July of 2012, a solar superstorm estimated to have been more intense than the New York Railroad storm.

Crossed Earth's orbit, missing the planet by one week's time. The East Coast states, excuse me, Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest have geological characteristics not predominant in other regions of the U.S. that increase the vulnerability of power grid infrastructures to solar systems.

Unfortunately, the majority of commercial nuclear power plants in the U.S. are located in the East Coast states and the Upper Midwest, two of the U.S. regions that are most vulnerable to solar storm-induced blackouts.

In a months-long blackout, nuclear plants would lose their supply of off-site electricity, which is necessary for their safe operation. Emergency diesel generators, which provide backup electricity, are designed to power cooling pumps for a number of days, not months. No nuclear plant in the U.S. has ever lost off-site electricity for longer than a week.

In 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission stated that an extreme solar storm could collapse power grids and potentially lead to reactor core damage at multiple nuclear power plants. OK, so what is what's going on with this NASA story? Anxious about a pothole in space, a dent in the magnetosphere, which keeps us shielded from solar wind. Maybe. Did you guys know that Puerto Rico also had a major power outage?

This story from the AP, April 21st, 2025, wasn't as big of a story. They say that Puerto Rico's governor on Monday urged people to moderate their energy consumption as she warned the island has no additional power generation capability to fall back on days after a massive blackout hit the U.S. territory. Here's what I'm getting to. It may actually be when we see these stories about solar storms. Yes, we should be concerned about solar storms. Yes, they are claiming atmospheric conditions did this.

While they've ruled out cyber attack, I think one thing we can say is cyber attack threats are real. They are happening all the time. This is why we do not want to be involved in wars overseas. And in the event we get hit by a cyber attack on industrial control systems to cut the power, the ramifications would be the same.

If a solar storm would knock out a power plant and cause a nuclear meltdown, cyber attack could do the exact same thing. In fact, a solar storm is a once one. It happens, right? Let's say a solar solar storm happens. You get hit by it. Repairs begin immediately. Contingency efforts begin immediately. And we were resourceful. We can probably mitigate that.

But what if it was a cyber attack that struck at our critical infrastructure? Let's say we actually decide to go full scale war in Ukraine with Russia. NATO gets involved directly. Russia's threatening nuclear retaliatory strikes. That's that's that's grandiose. What could they really do? Sustained industrial control system shutdown when they shut down the grid.

or other industrial control systems, try as we might to mitigate it, we will be actively working against our enemies who are trying to shut it down all the same. So that's the point. If a solar storm hits, it's a one-off. We can fix it. If Russia, China, Iran, or any adversary of the US, a terror group or whatever, seeks to shut down the grid, they can actually launch a prolonged and sustained attack against our grid, making it much harder to mitigate and restore power.

And power is just one function. Theoretically, they could go into any industrial control system, nuclear power plants especially, and they could directly screw up our cooling systems, causing meltdowns. It is pretty worrying. Lifestyle from, it's Marca's lifestyle section. The reason behind the European blackout, the power cut could be caused by a cyber attack. Now, I know we've already said that we don't know for sure. This has been the speculation.

They reported that there is as of yet no official answer, but theories are beginning to emerge, including the most conspiratorial ones. I'm going to pause you right there.

It ain't no conspiracy. That's ridiculous. The U.S. and NATO countries are actively engaged in a war with Russia. Now, they're not boots on the ground formally, but there are veteran private volunteers from Western nations fighting in Ukraine with Western weapons and Western intelligence directed by Western special forces. So, yeah, Russia has a real reason to strike. More importantly,

From DW, Dutch intelligence reports Russian cyber attack. The Dutch military intelligence agency has warned about growing attacks from Russia in an effort to destabilize society. The intelligence report also cited threats from China and its support from Moscow. This story dropped April 22nd, one week before it had already been reported that Russia, possibly China, were engaged in attacks against us. Why wouldn't they be? We are at war.

They want to destabilize our economies and make it difficult for us to support Ukraine. Personally, I think there's a risk that they've never spelled out the benefits of. Why is the U.S. involved in a conflict in Ukraine? Trump is certainly working hard to put an end to this war. Vladimir Putin did call for a ceasefire, but it's delayed. And he did, or I should say, the Russians did threaten nuclear retaliation against NATO nations.

What they're not saying is behind the scenes, they're attacking us. Russian hackers targeted a Dutch public facility last year. The Dutch military intelligence agency and security service, MIVD, reported on Tuesday. The target was the digital control system of undisclosed Dutch public safety, public facility in the first known Russian attack on the Netherlands critical infrastructure. The MIVD said in its annual report, the report reviewed other cyber attacks against European allies of Ukraine amid the ongoing war.

Why was the Netherlands targeted? Well, it's an interesting country. They say it's an interesting target country for Moscow due to its continued support for Ukraine. Last week, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brecklemans announced 150 million euro for Ukraine's air defense systems. Quote, we see the Russian threat against Europe is increasing, including after a possible end of the war against Ukraine. Resync said that last year's attack against the public service aimed to gain control of the system, adding that it was thwarted.

As far as is known, this is the first time that such a sabotage attack has been carried out against such a digital control system in the Netherlands, literally targeting industrial control systems. This is what we're worried about. Let me stress it again for you guys. A week prior, we got word that there was an industrial control systems hack against the Netherlands specifically for their support for Ukraine. Now the power goes out a week later.

I think it's silly to rule out cyber attack. That's what they're claiming. Maybe, maybe we're dealing with space phenomenon. My friends, honestly, who knows? I just think it's interesting timing to say the least. They're going to say the agency also warned against Russian units mapping infrastructure and conducting acts of sabotage in the North Sea, which lies between the UK and continental Europe. Russia's sabotage activities in the bed of water targets Internet cables, water and energy supplies. The Dutch agency said.

The report also reiterated that China continues to pose a serious threat to Europe through its backing of Moscow, as well as separate cyber espionage activities. I think this is the real threat. I really do. You know, Russia threatening NATO with revenge nuclear strikes. That's saber rattling. That's meant to shock regular people who don't really pay attention to news all that much. It's headline grabbing.

They threaten these things in their press because it's what people know. It's devastating, but it's not the principal means by which they're actually going to carry an attack, in my opinion. If Russia carries out a cyber attack in Spain, shutting down their power grid, who knows? In fact, even if they did it, if they covered their tracks well enough, they might just say it was an oopsie daisy. We don't know. Now, all that really matters is what do powerful people believe? And that's the terrifying reality that we have here.

You see, if Russia were or were not to launch an attack, but something devastating happens, if people in power want this to be the cause, they'll do it. That's how false flags work. Let's say the West, NATO, wanted to escalate the conflict in Ukraine. They need only say, this was Russia. You can't prove us wrong. It's unfalsifiable. In which case, they can drag us into the war whenever they want. Interestingly, however, though,

The narrative around solar storms and climate change and all of these things has been persistent, as I already mentioned with the story about NASA tracking these this dent in the in the magnetosphere.

So, my friends, as we gear up to bring in Bette Davidson and go over exactly what's going on, I'm going to I'm going to wrap up the intro segment for this show before the interview. So smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And for everybody else, stay tuned. We're going to have that interview in just a minute. But for now, we're going to jump to this story and intro exactly what's going on.

From Popular Mechanics, scientists are getting kind of anxious about a pothole in space. My friends, this story is from March 31st, 2023. The Earth's magnetic field protects us and our orbiting tech from the worst effects of the sun's energetic rays. In a region called the South Atlantic Anomaly, however, the magnetic field is significantly weaker than over the rest of the planet.

Some speculation as to what may have happened with that power outage is that the grid gets knocked out when the magnetosphere weakens, allowing solar storms to blast our electrical grid, overheat it and shut it down. Or maybe it was a temperature fluctuation. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was a cyber attack. But this narrative, it's been persistent. Take a look at this story. This is from NASA.gov, August of 2020.

NASA researchers track slowly splitting dent in Earth's magnetic field. We have this story from Daily Galaxy from July of last year. Extreme solar blasts and weak magnetic fields threaten life on Earth. The narrative has been persistent, and the impact of solar flares on Earth have been well known. You can see here where this blast of solaration can actually break through the magnetosphere. That's where you get the aurora borealis.

It's pretty cool stuff. I saw it. We landed. I landed in Fairbanks, Alaska, walking out of the airport. It was minus 30. And we looked up Aurora Borealis. Pretty cool stuff. But recently, and many of you may have noticed this. This was only I think was several months ago. The Aurora was visible as far south as West Virginia. And maybe it's nothing. Maybe things are getting worse.

Popular Mechanics says Earth's magnetic field is incredibly important to life on our planet. By allowing for compass navigation and displaying the aurora borealis way up north, it's responsible for shielding us from the worst effects of the sun's rays. A little bit of sun.

A lot would have some serious negative impacts. Thankfully, we do have a magnetic field. However, there's a pothole called the South Atlantic Anomaly. It's not a physical dent. It's a region in the skies between South America and Africa where our magnetic field is weaker than it is around the rest of the planet. This weakness isn't life-threatening. It would have to be way more significant, but it is an issue for the craft we've launched into orbit. Objects like satellites and other spacecraft reside within our magnetic fields as they orbit Earth.

As such, they still benefit from their protection. But you take it away and you're going to get a bunch of technical difficulties. The immediate concern right now is that this anomaly is going to damage our technology. However, we recently spoke with Ben Davidson, who talked to us about the potential for a polar shift. The planet, the planet's poles shifting, the Earth tilting down. And this does happen. This is not conspiracy. This is true. This is a fact.

We had him on the show, and I will say it may be a bit alarming and a bit sensational. The scary thing about it is that it sounds world ending. It seems to a lot of people too crazy to believe because we have an optimism bias and we don't want to believe that these cataclysmic events could actually happen. But there are some interesting anomalies such as.

There are glaciers in Indonesia. I didn't know this. Yeah, it's warm. It's tropical. And there are mountaintop glaciers indicating that at some point water froze in large quantities and then somehow moved into an area that is pretty warm.

But here's what we're going to do. Instead of me prattling on about it, we're going to bring in Ben Davidson and get him to talk to us exactly about what is going on. We've got him standing by. Let's get that camera rolling and then bring him in right now. Let's see if I can get this right. Ben, can you hear me?

I can, Tim. Good to see you again. Likewise. Thanks for joining me. This is a really interesting a couple of stories that I find really interesting. In fact, that I've been going over. The first is the day before this power outage, The Guardian wrote an op ed saying solar storms could lead to nuclear disasters. Then we get a day later, this massive power outage in Europe that they're saying is due to an atmospheric phenomenon. I'm wondering if you want to break down for us what you think happened here, and then we'll just we'll figure out where to go from there.

Absolutely. Well, the official explanation that they're giving is about 80% correct. Their official explanation is that extreme temperatures caused an atmospheric oscillation, which resulted in a desinking

and induction event into the high voltage lines. Things weren't matching up. And basically, the entire system had a cascading failure. OK, but most of that is correct. How? So wait, all of this sounds like very technical jargon to us. Like, what's the layman's terms like the temperature caused the electricity vibrations? What is this?

Essentially, there is some pretty high-level physics involved with the atmospheric oscillation thing, but essentially what they're saying is extreme temperatures caused this electric surge to go through and shock the system and basically break it. That would be the simplest version. Now, that is what happened in terms of the breakage, but there was no extreme heat that

It would take such extreme heat to do that, that you don't find that anywhere on Earth. Not to mention the fact that temperatures in the area yesterday were about a half a degree above normal. And normal for the end of April in the Iberian Peninsula of Europe is just not that hot. I think it was reported at like 70 degrees. It was not too hot. It was complete nonsense. Now, there are two things that are really interesting. One,

They are, they were noticing a surge in the solar power output. Basically, the solar panels for some reason that they can't understand or explain surge power through the system. Now, while this was happening,

I was taking a look at the data about the ionosphere, which is the electric layer up at the top of the atmosphere. It got hit. It took a major hit. And then you could see this energy coming down through the atmosphere through what we call the global atmospheric electric circuit.

where not only can you see it vertically moving up and down, but you can use the ground level winds to see where it's going to go. It follows the water vapor in the atmosphere, in the wind, water, electricity. They kind of like each other. And so you could see it coming down and then that electricity surge go right into Portugal, Spain and France at the exact same time as the blackout. Now, here's the interesting thing.

They have a pretty good idea about what that was, but the fact that they also saw the solar panels inexplicably surge their output at the exact same time is the definitive clue. I don't know if you ever watched the movie The Core about Earth's magnetic field failing. So they go full Hollywood sci-fi idiot realm about 25 minutes in, but the opening scenes...

Those are accurate. A weak spot in Earth's magnetic field, it's not all of a sudden the whole globe collapses. It starts with a weak spot here or a weak spot here. And then there's a plasma breakthrough, which also allows extra ultraviolet to break through due to a temporary depression of the ozone in that layer. And so at the same time as this plasma breaking through, and I

I watched it do that. I watched it come down through the atmosphere. They were also noticing an ultraviolet surge in the solar panel production. So that's both things you expect. The particles, the plasma coming in, the electrically charged material, and the light, the ultraviolet light coming through the same hole. It was that exact same thing from the movie, although the movie

The movie made it seem like it was extreme enough to burn people's skin. Welcome to Hollywood. Essentially what we have is – I mean I've been on your shows twice already talking about the fact that we're in a magnetic pole shift, that things are getting a little scary and they're accelerating faster and faster. This was one of the things I really started to expect to see in the 2030s.

We're a little early on that, and I have to admit, I had to admit to my viewers, I can't really account for how quickly these things have been happening since about March of 2023. Our timeline was pretty solid with what we were expecting, but in about the last two years and change, things have just been going way too quickly. The earth is taking way too big a hits.

from basically anything the Sun throws at us. And then two days ago, the Sun didn't even throw anything at us. This was just a hole in Earth's magnetic field, a weak spot. The plasma broke through, the ultraviolet broke through the depressed ozone at that time.

And I don't know whether it was the extra ultraviolet surging through the solar panels or more likely in my head, the plasma actually coming down and integrating directly into the system, which is the electric shock that some of the experts are talking about that hit the one system and basically caused a violent fluctuation that collapsed

the system over those three countries, or it's both of them combined. So either one of them could do it, but their cause is really the story here, why it happened. Is there any possibility? I don't know what the official explanation Puerto Rico has given for their power outage last week. Is there any relation to that?

So that happened less than 60 seconds after the solar storm began that day. That one was solar driven. Really? It was very clear that the solar storm began in Puerto Rico went black. It was literally boom, boom, one, two punch as fast as when you punch someone, how fast they hit the ground. That's how fast it was. So so have they given an official explanation for why the power went out? Have they said it was a solar storm or something?

Um, they have noted that it was a, that there was a solar storm at the same time. They have not officially declared anything for the Puerto Rico event. You know, what's really crazy about all this. The reason why I'm excited to have you on is, I mean, you were, you were here not even that long ago on Tim. I think it was either the culture war IRL talking to us about how we are going to see the magnetosphere weekend. We're going to see power, power outages. And so when this power goes out,

That you exactly as you described, either you're extremely lucky with your crack pottery or you're correct. So I don't I don't know what to expect from here, though. Some people still want to believe it's a cyber attack. I think people are going to put their worldview on this.

Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, look, I certainly entertain the possibilities of cyber attack and all things, especially because we actually have the data that we're constantly under cyber attack. However, I don't want to I don't want to rule out sitting down with a guy who told me this would happen and then it happens and then act like, you know, you didn't predict something. But so I'll go. So, for example, we can look at some of the evidence. If you find a dead guy,

and there's a bullet hole in his forehead, you can probably rule out heart attack or diabetes kind of thing. We know exactly what caused this blackout in Europe. There was an electric shock to the system that caused violent fluctuations way more than what the AC system is supposed to be handling, basically the wrong Hertz oscillation.

And that's not what would happen if, say, the elites just cut off the power. That's not what would happen if it was hacked. That could be what happened during a solar storm as well, but that's because a solar storm is going to do the exact same thing that a plasma penetration through a weak hole in Earth's magnetic field is going to do.

There have been tons of these outages before. I don't know if you recall, there were a couple of them last year and the year before. I was always really hesitant to call them out because I didn't have all of the data, but they have now released all the data out of Europe from two days ago. It's very clear what happened and that it was a sync issue. Either

Either all of that other atmospheric data and the solar panel data is telling us that this was Earth's magnetic pole shift, you know, hinting at the world, hey, I'm coming, I'm coming. Or at the exact perfect moment, some idiot at the control board hit the wrong button.

I mean, maybe it's possible. Yeah, it's possible. But well, it's hard. It's hard for people to believe that there's going to be such a cataclysmic event. But let's let's break this down. If this is a sign of a pole shift, what's what's causing it in your view? And what does that mean next?

So that could get pretty complex, but essentially this is a cycle on Earth. Earth's magnetic field spends several thousand years pretty normal like we have now, easily protecting us from the Sun and cosmic rays, all the scary stuff out in space. But then every few thousand years it just decides it's going to glitch out and it goes through a pole shift and it gets very weak and that space energy comes in and basically starts attacking the atmosphere. Now

in civilizations past, it was mostly a radiation and climatological issue. It affects the ozone, as I mentioned. It affects water vapor in the clouds, so it affects clouds, rain, storms, wind, things like that. Not to mention the extra ultraviolet, which we already mentioned, and those particles themselves aren't exactly good if they hit your DNA or they start messing with your electrolytes in your body. There's a reason we call them that, and this

is electromagnetic radiation we're talking about but now we also have an electro-dependent society people think all like oh you just turn the faucet and water magically comes out well it's not magic there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes on with that they think that oh food just shows up in the grocery store i don't think they realize how much transportation and refrigeration and logistics go into something like that or the heating or air conditioning in their house the internet 9-1-1

banking, gas stations, all transactions that aren't cash. It all stops. It all stops. And when the government did this study on what's going to happen when the sun takes out power and they could be applied to Earth's magnetic pole shift taking out power, 90 to 95 percent of our species is gone in six months. Wow. There was an article that I mentioned a little bit previously about

The Guardian wrote this. It was published in the morning of the 28th that a solar storm could cause nuclear disasters on the East Coast. If it knocks out power on the East Coast for it for about a month or longer, then the emergency reserves shut down, the cooling systems shut down, and then you get a runaway reaction meltdowns at all of these reactors. It's fascinating to me that they're publishing that story. And then we literally get these power outages. I don't know.

You know, the way I describe it is if experts are saying it might be a long shot, but these things are possible and they might happen. And then you get the power outage fear due to what they're calling induced atmospheric vibration. I believe that was the phrase, right? Then part of me just says maybe they're right. And there is this risk of these extreme weather phenomenon. Now, I do think we'll probably hear from a lot of liberals that it's climate change or something like that. They'll try to shift it into a political argument they can capitalize on.

But I suppose they do. What's the timeline? I mean, you said this happened faster than you thought it was going to happen. Right. So the math that I've been using, I mean, based on tracking where the magnetic field strength is, suggested that we should be having the main event of the magnetic pole shift in the late 2040s. Now, that's a little...

That's a little confusing because as our magnetic field weakens, we become more and more vulnerable to things like that plasma breakthrough two days ago or anything that the sun throws at us. The sun could throw a little love tap at us and it's like a haymaker from Mike Tyson when it hits because our shield isn't what it's supposed to be.

I don't know if we are going to wait until the 2040s or if next week the sun is going to take out power to the world and we have to live like cavemen for 20 years until the pole shift. There's a lot of unknowns here, but

This is kind of a process of we don't know when we're getting to the finish line, but there's guardrails. There's no way off this road. It is all downhill and our brakes don't work. We're getting to the finish line. This is going to happen. We're perfectly due in time. It happens about every six

thousand years to some extent. It's six thousand years from the last one. What's happening? Oh, the magnetic field is shifting again. This is exactly what's happening. We're starting to see all of the effects that we'd expect to see. If it wasn't so damn terrifying, I would be patting myself on the back. Did you know that the government's been expanding Raven Rock and Mount Weather? They're doing a lot of stuff right now for. Yeah. For people who don't know, these are these aren't the only emergency bunkers that they have.

But a couple of years ago, they I think Congress passed a budget for the expansion of Mount Weather and Raven Rock. Fans of the Fallout series know exactly what this is. It's where government officials and powerful individuals expect to go in the event of some kind of catastrophe. And so the question we were asking is like, what catastrophe are they preparing for or are they just spending money as they do? There was also a report that Zuckerberg built an underground bunker that was definitely overhyped.

It certainly is. It's an underground space. It's secure, but it's not really that big. They were trying to make it sound like he went to some faraway island to build a facility. He bought a big house on a Hawaiian island and gave himself an emergency room or whatever. Yeah. Essentially, somebody doesn't like some of the new money guys because they didn't tell him all the information. What a terrible place to build your bunker. It's almost like...

It's almost like their opinion on people like Mark Zuckerberg is that they're, you know, he's a mushroom. Well, so feed him crap, keep him in the dark. Right. But, you know, take a look at what Jeff Bezos is doing. He's hollowing out that mountain across the street from the Blue Origin launch facility. Yeah. Richard Branson's $45 million bunker is right under the control tower for Virgin Galactic.

And SpaceX and the Boring Company are elons. All the billionaires are planning, hey, we might need to go up. We might need to go down. Let's put them in the exact same place so we can decide at a moment's notice. It is kind of funny that you got two billionaires that are basically like, we need to get to space now.

Let me start here. These stories have been around for like a decade, actually. In New Zealand, they're building mountainside bunkers. In that movie Kingsman, they land a plane in the side of a mountain. That's not science fiction. They're building that. They're building landing strips in mountains.

Yep. Do you think this is the reason? I mean, you probably do. Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely. They've known this was coming since the 1940s when they classified Project Nanook. What is that? Which was so they sent Major Maynard White up to the Canadian Arctic to sort of set up shop. They were worried Russia was going to come over the top.

But what they were doing, because obviously you have to figure out how to navigate, and so they needed to understand how to do that so close to the magnetic pole. And when they started digging down and looking for things, they found a layer of polar fossils, then tropical fossils, then polar fossils, then tropical fossils, indicating that it's not just a magnetic shift. The world is going to turn over and send the oceans into...

into the land. This is why the mammoths were found like they were found. They dug them out of 30 feet of ice and said, oh, they froze instantly. Here's the problem. They froze in the glacial cycle. It was 20 degrees colder. If there's 30 feet of ice there now, there wasn't anything to eat back

then, what were they doing there? And the answer is they weren't there. They were somewhere near the equator. And then they got put at the poles when the earth tilted and froze instantly. So is this going to cause a flood? Oh, my goodness. Yes. Oh, my goodness. Yes. I wonder if that's what you know. I heard this. I don't know if it's true, but every civilization has some kind of flood myth.

They do. Have you ever seen the future U.S. Navy map of the United States or any of the remote viewed future maps of the United States where it shows water basically connecting the Gulf of America to the Great Lakes? And some of them show it all going all the way up to Hudson Bay. No, I haven't.

That's what's... Look up future U.S. Navy map of the United States, and there's water going from the Gulf of America all the way up to the Great Lakes. Wow. And that's what's going to happen. The way the world is going to turn this time, and we can tell the way it's going to turn, the Gulf of America is going to shoot northward and basically...

at that time, the New Madrid Fault is going to be shaking like crazy, causing liquefaction. Isostatic adjustment from the water weight is going to push down the center of the United States. The lack of water in the Gulf of Mexico is going to cause that land to lift up and the water is not going to be able to come back. It's just going to sit there in the center of the United States and cut our country in half. I feel really bad for everybody who's going to the Ozarks to survive. That's going to be underwater. Well,

We're okay in West Virginia, I think. I looked at that map and we seem to be all right. Yeah, the water's not going to hit West Virginia, although I have to say the initial wave might hit you guys pretty hard. It depends on what your elevation is. So where do you got to be? I prefer a mile up. So, like, you can't be in Colorado, I think, this map. Yeah, Colorado's got like 20%—

I like Colorado. I like the mountains of Mongolia. There are a couple of places in Peru I think look pretty good. Some of those ones in Mongolia, technically they stretch down into China as well. What about Nebraska? Very few good places in Europe.

Very few. What is this map? This is interesting. I Google searched what you said, and the map of future America, there's posts all over the place about this. Where did this come from? The Digital Public Library of America? This is a fun one to go down. It's a fun rabbit hole to go down. But essentially...

Something like this is going to happen. And it's not just the United States. Giant waves are going to take out most of China, India, Europe, all but the central region of the central high regions of Africa near the rift, like some of those volcanoes. But this was this was, as you mentioned, it's like future sight. There was a psychic person saying they saw this. I mean, right. You know, it.

I don't believe in that stuff, but it's interesting that this is what's probably going to happen and none of the other stuff I said is based on like remote viewing or psychics or stuff. I just, I happen to know about this map and then it was like, oh, wait a minute.

I've seen this before. And so I was like, wait a minute. That's exactly what that remote viewer said was going to happen. And so that's kind of an interesting and fun little coincidence. I think we talked about this. It matches up with that. I think we did talk about this last time, but you said the earth's going to tilt. So it's like a 90 degree tilt. Yep. And that means that what, like the North and the South poles become the equator and always got a globe. Take, take Greenland there.

And just put it at the equator such that up here at the top is India and at the bottom is South America. And if you get if you get basically that, that's what the world's going to look like. So what does that what does that mean for for China?

United States, we're Southern Hemisphere now. I mean, do we... We're Southern Hemisphere, places like Colorado, Pennsylvania, about the same latitude just in the South. Canada and Mexico swap climates. Montana and Texas swap climates. Maine and Florida swap climates.

What's what's the timeline for this? I mean, I know you mentioned we start seeing stuff in the 2040s. That should be happening in the 2040s at some point. But does this, you know, obviously we could get thrown back into caveman status before that. So. Right, right, right. That's what you were saying. That's before that even happens. Our grid's going to go down. Was it plasma? Is that it's going to fry our electronics? Yeah, that's almost certainly going to happen before that.

You know, I got to tell you, we talk about the prospect of civil war and civil conflict. And now eight years ago, it's in the mainstream media. I'm talking about it. And people are just mocking the idea. Oh, you're crazy, Tim. You shouldn't even bring this up. Now we've got prominent liberals saying, I think we're going to go into a civil war because of the political landscape. It's interesting to see that.

This phenomenon was doubted in the United States. The fact that there could be powerful political interests at odds with each other. Nobody believed it. Some people are finally coming around. The reason I mention this is that political squabbles are facts of life that happen all the time.

Countries all the time go through this stuff. And people still couldn't believe it. And so my concern, there's two things. One, I definitely don't want to overhype that the world's going to end or it's going to flip over. Everyone's going to die. And so there is a natural bias to be like, come on, man, that can't really happen. That's insane. But then there's the also,

Don't be stupid and thinking, you know exactly what can or can't happen if you've not researched it. So I think the challenge is going to be for a lot of people. They hear what you're saying and they think this is crack pottery. This is not it's not going to happen. Power sometimes go out. Why should I believe any of this? My fear that is regardless whether it's political or scientific, people don't prepare. They kind of just coast, you know? Yeah.

So I suppose with just that being said, what should a sane, rational person do not wanting to be the guy storing 30 years worth of beans in his basement, but also concerned about the power going out or even or even politics? Like, what would you do?

Start paying attention to more stuff like this. And when my documentary on this exact thing comes out and I've got people from NASA and professors who are finally willing to get some balls and actually talk to the camera, which they've already done, we've got the interviews.

Things are about to change because they have been too afraid to talk about this. Okay, they'll publish a paper in a journal and then not talk about it. They'll make some commentary or they'll take these observations and they'll put them in data sets and then not talk about it. They're going to talk about it now. You know what I think the issue is for everything? The economy is delicate.

Let's say let's say we want to build a spaceship. So people may be wondering if this was true, they'd be talking about it right now. I disagree. I'll tell you why. Elon Musk wants to build spaceships. Jeff Bezos wants to build spaceships. They also want to build underground bunkers. If the economy shuts down, that won't happen. If you were to come out right now, if a politician, if Trump went on TV and said, look, we're dealing with a cataclysmic event, be with your loved ones for now and start focusing on survival.

The people who build these specific specialties are going to, their focus is gone. Elon's going to say, I need a guy to work a control center for a spaceship. And the idea is we're advancing human life. But what if you go to that control guy and tell him you've got five years to prepare for a cataclysm? He's going to be like, I better start building a bunker now to protect myself and my family. I recently talked with Secretary of Transport Sean Duffy and

about UAPs, UFOs, and just general transport stuff, planes. And one of the things he mentioned was if we actually knew what these things were, people would, and we told people they would freak out. So do you really want to know? You know, most people respond with, yeah, I do want to know. But if you're trying to build a spaceship, you don't want anyone to know. You want everyone to keep their blinders on, build the components and build the spaceship and

Build the arc, whatever it may be, so that people can escape. It's not just that, but what trucker is driving food all the way across the country with that awareness in his head? What cop is responding to a potential shooting in that circumstance? Who's going to work at all?

the very next day, once the world knows that. They'll destroy everything that you'd want to save in the first place if they told us the truth. Do you remember when that fake nuclear strike alert hit Hawaii? Yes, I remember that. You know, the stories, a lot of people don't talk about it, but some stories came out about what people did when they got those notifications.

And let's just say those people were very embarrassed. But look, everybody's phoning off saying nuclear strike imminent. Seek shelter now. And then, oopsie, it was an accident. Someone pressed the wrong button. But the reaction people had to just that. Not so family friendly, but you can understand what some of these stories might be. And they immediately regretted it.

Oops. We thought we were going to die. So we just, you know, did things that we normally would not do. But I do appreciate you joining to talk about all this. Is there any final thoughts you want to add before we wrap up? No, this is going to be happening more and more and it's going to get much, much worse. Right on. Well, Ben, where can people find you? Space Weather News YouTube channel. Much appreciated. Right on, man. Well, thanks for hanging out and we'll see you next time. Good to see you, Tim. Take care.

All right, everybody, we will grab your chats as we wrap things up. Glad to talk to Ben. Always interesting and kind of scary. We got time for just a couple more chats before we send you on to hang out with Russell Brand. Andrew says, there is a satellite that monitors the sun 24-7. It is not the sun. A CME would be a different matter, which can happen anytime since the dawn of time. Interesting.

Fluffy Wound says the whole eco BS is a demonic death cult all the way from veganism, which poisons the body. Trans and kids. So humans can't reproduce green energy, destroying the grid. They want mass death, not control. You know, it's hard to think otherwise, to be completely honest. Andrew also adds Earth receives approximately one two point two billionth of the sun's total emitted radiation.

I do think it was interesting what Ben was saying about this plasma coming through and that it wasn't even a solar storm. That this is literally the normal solar phenomenon that we see, but with the magnetosphere weakening, it resulted in the grid going down. I got to be honest, I think it makes more sense. What they've given us with this induced atmospheric vibration story is the official narrative. But the question is, what caused that? This rare phenomenon, why did that happen?

Maybe it's anomalous. Maybe sometimes it happens. Honestly, I don't know. I do think that when you start looking into the data that Ben has brought up,

It's pretty dang compelling. The mammoths thing he's brought up. I read that before he even told me about it. Woolly mammoths had undigested plant matter in their bellies. He told me about the glaciers in Indonesia. I didn't believe him. I was like, what? How? It's warm. Nope. You look. They're there in the mountains. It's cold higher up in elevation. So the argument is at some point where Indonesia is now was in a colder position. And then the polls flipped. We'll see, my friends. But I will say thank you all so much for hanging out.

Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Russell Brand is coming up. Check out Russell's show. We've got more coming up for you, of course. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun, but we have more segments throughout the rest of the day. And of course, Timcast IRL at 8 p.m. Thank you all so much for hanging out and we will see you all next time. Recently, Donald Trump did an interview with ABC News, a reporter that most people never heard of.

And in this sit down, he absolutely roasted this guy. His name is Terry Moran. And Donald Trump not only called them fake news to their faces. It wasn't the only insult he had for him. He wanted to say that he intentionally chose you because I've never heard of you. I love this.

The New York Post says Trump mortifies ABC news reporter with scathing remark on why he was picked for highly sought interview. Outright. I picked you, but you're not being very nice. He complained. They report President Trump humiliated ABC's Terry Moran by revealing why he picked him for the break of a lifetime.

In getting to interview him on his 100th day in office, the commander in chief put the senior national correspondent in his place during a tense exchange in which Moran challenged him about suspected MS-13 tattoos on deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Quote, hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know you're doing the interview, Trump said. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. Ha ha ha.

Yo, talk about a backhand, a verbal backhand. Now, my friends, many people have complained about Donald Trump doing his interviews. They jump. Why would you sit down with these dirty, dirty smear merchants?

But it's because Donald Trump takes the opportunity, especially if it's going to be filmed and especially if they have it recorded themselves, to call out the lies. And this is how you chip away at the machine that lies. Now, of course, Donald Trump in the clip we just showed for you, which we'll play again for you. He calls him fake. Do you think the reputation of the United States?

has gone down under your presidency? No, I think it's gone way up, and I think we're a respected country again. We were left out all over the world. We had a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across the stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it, but you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news. All right. Thank you. And by the way, ABC...

All right. Thank you. Can we play that again? This is your fake news. All right. Thank you. By the way, ABC is one of the worst. I have to. Indeed, my friends, they are one of the worst. I absolutely love this. I do kind of feel bad for this Terry Morin guy, but these people are unscrupulous. They work for organizations that lie all the time. And I've brought receipts because as many of you know, I appeared at the White House.

And in the press briefing asked about how this corporate establishment in media seems to be one company. There's there's no difference in opinion. And look, I throw some of this in the White House. I know it's the White House Correspondents Association, but this is their space. They don't need to let in all of this one monolithic blob of media, but they do.

All of these news organizations have the same views, the same opinions, and they're wrong all the time. So I pointed out the Covington smear, the very fine people hoax, and now the Maryland man hoax. But that ain't even scratching the surface. For you, my friends, I've brought only a small spattering of showing you how the media lies. Let's roll with the one we already know. NBC News reporting about the Maryland man hoax.

Now, let's talk about what this means. This is factual, but not truthful. In a sense, you could say somebody who lives somewhere is a Maryland man, right? But this guy is not from Maryland. And even I know I said it a lot, but this matters. Hassan Piker, one of the most prominent leftist streamers, genuinely thought the guy was from the United States. So I can understand why he's upset.

If I heard that Trump accidentally scooped up an American guy and sent him to El Salvador for a death prison and wouldn't get him back, I'd be freaking out, too. But that ain't what happened. No, this is an El Salvador man illegally residing in Maryland despite having deportation orders. He did have an administrative hold, but all that requires is a USCIS interview to send him back. It is a minor administrative error. Minor. But wait, there's more. I got ABC News for you.

ABC News statement on Michael Flynn report this from back in 2017. Can you believe it? Just over seven years ago. We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday. The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during a special report had not been fully vetted. Really? During a live special report, ABC News reported that confidant of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials during the campaign.

They made it up. Why? Because the lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can strap on his boots. As the saying goes, I believe it was intentional. The corporate press kept running these stories, knowing that the that liberals would see the headline, believe it was true, and it would drill into their brains. Donald Trump is a traitor to his country. And then later, you know, you just whoopsie. Sorry about that.

Take a look at this one from CNN. Also from the same. Look at this. Look at this time period. This is what's insane. December 2nd, 2017. Oops, we lied about Flynn. Here's CNN. December 8th, 2017. Oops, we lied about Don Jr. Oops, all lies. That's what it should be called. The media. Oops, all lies. CNN correct story on email to Trump's about WikiLeaks.

This is from CNN. CNN on Friday afternoon corrected an exclusive report that said candidate Donald Trump and his son, Don Jr., had received an email providing a web address and decryption key, allowing them to access hacked documents from WikiLeaks before such documents were made publicly available. It was a lie.

But wait, there's more from Snopes. No, Trump did not call neo-Nazis and white supremacists very fine people. Then we have this from NPR. Mueller's office disputes BuzzFeed report that Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress from 2019. The list goes on. I actually have a huge list and I only pulled up some. Let me see what I can get here.

Time magazine claimed that Donald Trump removed the Martin Luther King bust from the White House. Time's Zeke Miller erroneously tweeted that a bust of MLK Jr. had been removed. The claim was quickly corrected. An apology was issued. Fake news.

Reporter Dave Weigel. Oh, we love this guy. He's a fake news guy. He tweeted a photo suggesting a Trump rally had low attendance, but the photo was taken before the event even started. He deleted the tweet and then apologized. CNN in 2017 published a story linking Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund, which was later retracted due to a lack of evidence. Three journalists resigned over the incident. Oh boy, what else do we have?

Let's see. Oh, the Biden health concerns one, I think, is is really the crux of this. This is this is the one we all know. OK, this is what Trump was roasting ABC about. We had a president who couldn't walk up a flight of stairs.

And the media covered it up. You know what? Let's roll. Chuck Todd denies U.S. media failed to uncover Biden's mental demise. Right wing manufactured. It's right wing manufactured. That's what Chuck Todd is saying. These people are unscrupulous. They are. I'm sorry. This is evil. I don't understand this. I was talking to old Jack Posobiec the other day. And I said, Jack,

You know, I'm not a Christian guy, right? I believe in God because the resurrection story and all that stuff, you know, I don't, it's just not for me. I don't see it, right? But I'll tell you this. If you told me that demons were real and possess these people, this is not a joke. I'm more inclined to believe your religion is correct. What I mean by that is, and it's only with the tiniest bit of hyperbole. No, genuinely, I am like, how are these people so evil?

Honest question. I can't understand it. I cannot empathize with it. I cannot stand in their shoes. I just don't understand how someone could be so evil. Seriously. Chuck Todd going on his show or going on this podcast and saying we didn't miss the Biden story. The right wing made this narrative up. This is crazy.

It's just, it's insane how evil these people are and lying every day. They don't care about the future of this planet. They don't care about its people. They don't care about the creatures that live here. They don't care about life at all. And I just don't understand. You know, maybe it's naivete. Because I always assumed that even if you were evil, you still had some kind of interest in doing something. A story that I've told frequently is that during Occupy Wall Street, I met a reporter for the New York Times.

I don't think it was a staff reporter. This individual just wrote for them on occasion. She told me that nothing matters. There's no point to anything, none that can be discerned, and therefore you can do whatever you want. Now, you can take that in a positive and negative direction. That was my argument. I said, sure, if nothing really matters, then just do the things that feel good. And she said, but don't you want to just burn it down, shake it all up? And I was like, no.

That just makes makes whatever this is suck. That was what was conveyed to me. Nothing matters. So let's shake it up and burn it down to make it more exciting. And my attitude was we enjoy things and feel good about stuff. If nothing matters, let's do that instead, because if we're here on this rock with no plan, no mission and nothing going on, why suffer while we do it or make others? You know, that to me was pretty surprising.

When I first heard that, because it showed that this individual didn't care how many people got hurt. And this is someone who wrote for The New York Times. Yeah, they didn't care. But I still genuinely thought for a while that even if you were evil, you were probably just very self-interested. But now I'm seeing something different in the past decade that I'm sure many of you have witnessed. There are people.

They don't care for anything themselves or anyone. They will just lie because lying, because they enjoy it, I guess, because they're demons. It's demonic. It is the craziest thing. Let's break this down. Chuck Todd, anyone with eyes to see who actually watched Biden do his thing knew his brain was fried. Let me see if I can find a clip that was going viral. I think it might have been Clown World on X.

shared this old clip. Maybe not. Maybe not. Let's see. Let's see if I can find this video. It's a video of Joe Biden. It might have been Gunther Eagleman. Shout out to everybody that I'm now shouting out. Yeah, I don't know that it was. Maybe I could just search for Biden. I want to pull this one up. I do. OK, let's let's do this. I got to make this smaller. Let's search for Biden and see if we can find the video. It's basically a video that is shockingly unhinged

And he was on stage with that's not it, was it? He was on stage with Don Lemon. And yeah, I'm not gonna be able to find it right away. He's he basically it's the weirdest thing. He's like, you got vaccinated. Are you OK? No, because think about it. There are parents and parents. How do I find this clip? What is this one? They're all bad.

Let me try and search Biden, Don Lemon. That'll that'll bring it up. Right.

No, no, I don't remember. Oh, wait, here it is. Is this it? You got the vaccination? Yeah. Okay, here we go. We got it. We got it. I found the clip. You got the vaccination? Yeah. Are you okay? I mean, you see, no, it works. Or, you know, or the mom and dad or the neighbor or when you go to church or when you're... No, I really mean it. There are trust... Mean what? Sitting in the lockers. Think of the people...

If your kid wanted to find out whether or not there were, there's a man on the moon or whatever, you know, something, or, you know, whether those aliens are here or not, you know, who are the people that talk to beyond the kids who love talking about it? What? Okay. You mean to tell me that Chuck Todd, you watched that and you were like, this man is sharp as a tack. And we know he's lying.

And this is what we are dealing with in the corporate press. We knew they were lying the whole time. And now the narrative from journalists says we missed this one. We we we got this one wrong. How how did you get this one wrong? Did you not think now either these people are literal non-playing characters, non-player characters? They don't have a sentient thought in their brain and they're just people or they're evil.

I lean towards evil because Chuck Todd saying it's right wing manufactured. Yo, I just showed you a clip. Nobody made like I did not make that up. That's actually Joe Biden speaking. And any rational person who paid attention knew that. But people like Chuck Todd go in the corporate press and gaslight people every single day and lie to them. And these people trust the media. So I'll tell you what I think.

Why is Hassan Piker who he is? I genuinely believe and I feel for I do empathize. I feel bad. Hassan genuinely trusts the corporate press. He thinks Trump is lying about the fake news. He doesn't know how to do any journalistic work or research. So he's literally sitting there pulling up news stories and they say Trump accidentally deports Maryland father. And he's like, what? What?

And the and the Supreme Court says facilitators return. And he's going, dude, bring this guy back. The rest of us go, wait, wait, wait. What Trump did? What? Maryland father. Oh, wait. He's from El Salvador, an MS-13 gang member accused of human trafficking, accused of mercilessly beating his wife. His wife's ex-husband says he's a gang member and his children's lives are in danger. He had two orders for deportation and Trump made an administrative error because he was supposed to get a USCIS interview before deportation.

OK, that seems like a minor error in that regard. He's back in his home country. Hassan, though, is going this poor American man who was born and raised in Maryland was illegally sent. Trump is Hitler and he doesn't do the research. Now, the problem with the son is when he finally does realize this, because I tweeted at him, he has to cover it up because he doesn't want to look stupid. So then he says, well, you can be from somewhere else and then be from somewhere, too. Yeah, we get it, dude.

You know, if the only problem I have with that guy is that he's unwilling to admit he's wrong all the time and he's just believing what these people say. Same thing is true for David Pakman's other liberals. If it's said by someone on TV, it's true. That's the world they live in. Now, me, I'll tell you this. I still largely use corporate sources, especially on foreign policy issues.

But I always mention I try to look for a few different sources. And there are some things that we think may be more true than others. If the story is straightforward, like a car crash, probably true. And you can look up videos of it when it's political. We look up videos of it. So I'm constantly trying to fact check these organizations. And they do often run stories I don't use because they're obviously false.

As the strategy goes, when the media comes out with a smear against Donald Trump, you have to wait a week before you actually report it. Because if it's like Trump kicked a dog, it's like, OK, dude, I know that if I if I come out and say, wow, Trump kicked a dog a week later, they're going to say, sorry, that's retracted. Here's the secret. When they run a fake story and it gets a million views, they just run a retraction the next day. The retraction gets a hundred thousand views. Maybe nobody sees the retraction.

Both articles will generate ad revenue. And that's it. Legally in the clear. So Donald Trump, we respect and appreciate you slamming this guy and calling him fake news. But I'll leave it there, my friend. Smash that like button. Share the show. Follow me on X and Instagram at Tim Cass. We got more segments coming up for you throughout the day. And we will see you all in the next bit. Democrats like to talk about due process. You know, what process are you do in this constitutional republic? Well, Jack Posobiec was

was at a rally with Jamie Raskin and federal workers when he asked two questions. Why did you lose the popular vote? And why did you lose every single swing state? That's it. Jack's not a violent guy. He doesn't go to violent riots or protests. He doesn't attack people. He shouted out two questions to a politician standing in public. And what happened? He was attacked.

by these federal workers union guys. Jamie Raskin specifically pointing him out and yelling at him on the bullhorn. And then a bunch of guys started cussing at him and attacking him. And we've got the video.

Jack has shown this image of just before getting attacked with these angry guys. Federal workers matters, they say. And Jamie Raskin pointing him out while shouting. Ultimately, Jack did get attacked. Check out the video. It's about a minute long. Defend the right to assemble. We know with Dr. King that.

the greatness of America is the right to protest for what is right. Lawbreakers in the big office. And that's where we are today. I'll leave you with my friends with the words of the great Marylander Frederick Douglass. Jamie, why did you lose the popular vote? Why did you lose every single swing state? Why did you lose every single swing state?

That's crazy. And they just start attacking him. Look at that. They're actually attacking Jack Posobiec. Kicked his phone, it looks like. You see, you heard what he said, can I get my phone? No. Yo, this is wild.

They shouldn't be allowed to do this. I don't know how Jack ended up recovering his phone in the videos, but he does show. He yells a question. Jamie Raskin points him out. And then a bunch of guys surround him, start hitting him and cussing at him. Smack his phone out of his hand. Kick it. He says, can I get it back? They say no. Okay.

We all know that they're hypocrites and we all get it. I got to tell you, when they come out and they claim, oh, due process and all that stuff. No, no, no, no. When they talk about peaceful protests and the right to assemble, they don't mean it. They never did. OK, there was a protest in Milwaukee a while ago. Let me see if I can actually find this right. I think it was Milwaukee man arrested BLM. Let's see if I can find the story. He had a shotgun and he was accused of pointing it at a group. The story is there, but there we go.

Look at this. Look at this story. All right, let's break this one down. It's from 2020. Trump supporter who pointed shotgun at BLM protest outside his home arrested. Sure. But what's the context of that headline?

A bunch of people showed up in front of a guy's house unwarranted. The same group had been associated with burning down another house. The man brandished a shotgun with an in his house window closed. The police came and arrested him. Now, by all means, I don't think it's wise to do that.

to point a shotgun at people that are protesting in front of your house. They shouldn't be protesting in front of your house. I can understand why this man was concerned. As I mentioned, this group had been associated with setting fire to another house. They had been protesting in front of the dude was probably scared. The point is, however, when this guy got arrested by the police, when BLM had been calling for abolishing the police that year,

They clapped and they cheered for his arrest. Happy the police were arresting him because they don't care about defunding the police. What they care about is power. Now, Jack Posobiec says, I have filed a full police report with federal law enforcement. And I hope that we actually get some accountability.

Jacob Soboroff tweeted, spent yesterday afternoon in D.C. at a rally of union workers standing in solidarity with fired federal workers on the 100th day of President Trump's second term. Jack says, Jacob, you were standing next to me when the assault happened. Are you going to even mention it to your audience? Nope, he's not. This is not what they do. They're just going to cover it up and gaslight people.

And station where people who still had their jobs, but were standing in solidarity with fired workers. I am told you have found a worker who was indeed fired. Yeah, at least this is one of the people that the folks here are blah, blah, blah. Country job you dedicate or ever go very much. Two steps into the very much no matter the circumstances. No mention, no mention at all. So we have this article from Racket News written by Matt Taibbi the other day. Are we in a soft civil war?

Now, of course, there are a lot of people that always roll their eyes and they genuinely believe we are not in some kind of conflict, whatever you want to call it. Matt Taibbi brings up that 200 former diplomats and security officials signed a group letter called the Assault on American Democracy, a call to action in which they say waiting passively for the electoral calendar to fight back does nothing more than give the administration additional time and running room to impose its authoritarian stamp.

It says that each of us in different walks of life must speak out, mobilize and defend our way of life. What do you think that means? When Jack Posobiec, you saw the video. What did Jack do? He yelled a question to a politician standing in public. Two questions. Why'd you lose? Why'd you lose the swing states? That's it. That's it. He didn't attack anybody. He didn't rush anybody. He didn't do anything. What did they do? They physically attacked him.

Illinois governor calls for mass protests against Trump admin. GOP cannot know a moment of peace. OK, there have been 50 incidents, at least 50 documented incidents of politically motivated violence in the United States attributed to left leaning affiliations. You have the Tesla dealership attacks, the 50 51 protest, stupidest name, five zero five zero one.

While many of those are peaceful, they say there has been a spate of arrests, injuries and violence at these protests. You had the swatting incidents and you've had several protests in Salt Lake City escalate into violence. The left is doing it. It's always the left. In order to justify the lies in the press about a violent right wing threat, they have to combine disparate ideologies into a right wing.

And then you start to realize what exactly they're doing. Anyone outside of their cult is right wing. And I mentioned it before, but it bears repeating. A neo-Nazi and a laissez-faire capitalist libertarian have absolutely no politics in common. Now, to be fair, maybe some, maybe they want clean water or something. Humans need water, right? But for the most part, these are opposing ideologies. Freedom and authoritarianism, ethno-nationalism and open borders. Sure.

What does the left do? They say both of those groups are right wing. Why? Because they're not left wing. That means the left literally just is low IQ cultists that march in lockstep that represent largely nothing but the hive cult, the collective. Because it makes no sense to say that a moderate conservative populist and a libertarian party member are the same thing, that the libertarian booed Trump like heavily when he went to their rally.

He did still win favor with them, but that's largely due to the fact the Libertarian Party nominated a gay race communist. And I'm not saying to be disparaging. Literally, the man is a gay man and he believes in racist communist policies for the Libertarian Party. So a lot of people in the Libertarian Party didn't end up voting for Donald Trump.

Not because they overlap on every issue, but because they wanted to win some small concessions such as the pardoning of Ross Ulbricht. Trump said, I promised I'd do it. And so I did. The left is going to be violent at the administrative level. They are launching lawfare, 220 plus lawsuits in 100 days, more injunctions, universal injunctions than any other administration has ever seen.

almost half of all unconstitutional universal injunctions. And at the street level, they will physically attack you if you try and speak up and ask even a simple question. Jamie, you're asking, why'd you lose? What did you do wrong? Now, what if it was what if a Democrat yelled, why did we lose? What would they have done? That's interesting, right? But he said, why did you lose? And so they said, you're an other. And they physically attacked Jack Posobiec.

I think it's it's you know, I don't I think it's going to get worse. I don't see a path for an off ramp, but I don't know that we get a summer of love in much the same way. Maybe we do. As I mentioned, we've already got over 50 documented cases of leftist violence this year alone. There have been a handful of deaths attributed to political issues, but not overt factional in the street political issues. Meaning there is like, you know, a few stories since the past since the election where a

Like the woman got into a fight with her dad over the light switch and the election got her all crazy and she killed her dad. There are things like that. But it's but the concern I have is when far leftists go out in the street and kill somebody. And we've not seen something like that. We have seen an Islamic extremist in New Orleans attack and kill 14 people, which is terrifying. But we have also seen attempted murder to an extreme degree.

And that is the majority of these attacks, firebombing Tesla stations, shooting up Tesla vehicles. And then, of course, the swattings. So when these guys, when Pritzker comes out and says, don't let them know a moment of peace and mass mobilize. Of course, they're not. He's not literally saying be violent. But we all know what happens when you give them nudge, nudge, wink, wink, go out in mass protest. They get violent. You can't even have a rally against.

Look at this. The workers union. This is just a rally. And even they got violent. So what do you think is going to happen when he calls for mass mobilization? They know what they are doing when they say get in your face. I hope we don't get the summer of love 2.0.

But there are many that think that it's on its way. I'll wrap it up there. Follow me on Instagram. Stay tuned. We got more videos coming up for you throughout the day. And we'll see you all in the next segment. They're no longer conspiracy theories. I remember several years ago, if you were to bring up, say, the JFK assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, you were mocked.

This is when we had top-down mockingbird media. Now, we still largely do have a big corporate press that will lie and insult you if you question things that don't seem to make sense. But this idea of the conspiracy is gone.

UFOs, UAPs, whatever you want to call them, it's a real phenomenon. And we have a couple different whistleblowers right now that are warning of the threat to us from these machines, these devices we can't understand. But also one whistleblower fears that he might actually get taken out for having exposed what the U.S. is investigating. Recently, I sat down with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.

And I asked him somewhat jokingly about the UFOs. Now, a lot of people, you know, he made a good point. He says, Secretary of Transportation, man, doesn't sound all that sexy, does it?

But this is one of the most interesting and important positions in the country. And I know it's really hard to make transportation sound interesting. Maybe they give it a better name. What are they working on? Flying cars, drone delivery and UFOs. That's why, you know, we were putting in a request for interviews like we got to talk to Duffy, man. Got to talk to Sean Duffy because when a strange vehicle flying through the air that we don't know what it is, is reported and they were reported like crazy in New Jersey, they

Well, that's his jurisdiction. That's FAA. Now, we have the story from News Nation. Check this out. UAPs still pose concern, whistleblower Ryan Graves says. National Archives updated his website, all UFO docs in one place. They say Ryan Graves, the first active duty military pilot to come forward regarding UAP sightings, joined Elizabeth Vargas reports out of Tuesday's Congressional UFO Task Force meeting.

The meeting will be followed by a roundtable with experts and a full committee hearing next month. It follows the National Archives website update last week, which moved all of its UFO related documents into one place. Ryan Graves says there is still much concern about where UFOs are from. Now, I'll tell you this. Secretary Duffy told me two things that I find interesting. The first was he said, I've seen the videos where these things go into and out of the water as if it's not there.

You've seen those videos? I've not seen those videos. And I started talking with my crew and like, did he just, did he expose that there's videos that exist that we've not yet seen showing the maneuverability of UFOs? Now, he did say he didn't get any classified briefings on this stuff. And that may be the case. It might be, um...

With all due respect, above his pay grade, you'd think a cabinet member, the Trump admin would have access to everything, but maybe not, especially something as serious as this. But come on, Secretary of Transport, he has to know what this is. How does he figure this stuff out? How does he navigate this space? But then he said to me, if we really did know what these were and we told people, they might just panic. So maybe you really don't want to know. And that's the scary reality. In the movie Men in Black, Agent K tells Agent J,

Every day there is a global threat that that could wipe out all of humanity. And then he lists a bunch of things and he says the only way these people get out with their lives is that they do not know about it. Maybe. Here's a question for you for the comments. We lack the technology, presumably to interact. Let's say there's actually aliens and a galactic federation technology beyond our comprehension.

And we lack the technology to meaningfully interact. We're effectively chimps in the jungle compared to what they're doing, flying and teleporting and moving it out of water. Would we really want to know and engage with them at this time? Me personally, I would. I certainly would want to know that it's going on.

But I suppose the concern from government is what can we do about it? We might just freak out. It would disrupt the economy. It would rapidly shift our perspectives, our religions, and it can be damaging to the global ecosystem and economy. And you might say, who cares about the economy? Well, no, the economy is how we build spaceships and how we advance tech. There's no easy answer here.

Quote, there is still a lot of institutional stigma and the lack of proper reporting channels. But at safe aerospace dot org, we have air crew professionals reporting to us every day about what they're seeing. And there is still much concern about where these are from, what the national security implications are and what the safety implications of them are. Graves added that there will always be a human element to any UFO sighting. He's calling for greater protection for fellow UAP whistleblowers.

Now, take a look at this story from the Daily Mail. Pentagon whistleblower fears execution after revealing bombshell UFO program secretly studying alien tech. My friends, a science administrator in the Trump administration just a couple of weeks ago gave a speech where he said, our technology allows us to manipulate time and space to leave distance annihilated. And when I heard that, the first thing I did is I looked at the crew and I was like,

Have you ever heard someone use a turn of phrase of traveling by car or plane as manipulating time and space? No.

Or leaving distance annihilated? No, those are very specific phrases. Now, maybe because I'm not a crazy person. He was actually just trying to be boastful and grandiose as he talked about, I don't know, high speed rail maglev trains. You know, we leave distance annihilated. We can go a thousand miles an hour by high speed rail, but we haven't built it yet. He was saying things like.

Our planes, our trains are getting slower. Our planes are breaking down. Something is happening. And then he brings up this tech we have. I got to be honest. When you take a look at the technology that was developed 100 years ago and the rapid acceleration of data, AI, etc., I actually believe it makes more sense that these UAPs and UFOs are American, U.S., or at least just human technology.

We have developed these things, but they've not released to the public. When they were developing the nuclear bomb in the Manhattan Project, and I've got all the Life magazines, nobody knew exactly what was being built, but they had some idea something was being built. They knew it was a weapon of some sort, some kind of technology. Some speculated it was going to be a death ray, a gigantic beam you'd blast like a low-orbit ion cannon from space. Some thought it might be a bomb.

And sure enough, after the bombing of Japan at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, excuse me, geez, they did publish a general report on what this is and how it works. It's actually fascinating. I have the Life magazine right at the bombs were dropped and they explained the general function of a nuclear bomb.

Now, it seems crazy, right? Why would the U.S. give out this information to the public on how a bomb was made? A nuclear one at that to allow our enemies to build these weapons or figure it out? Unless, of course, we actually had more advanced weapons and technology. It makes absolutely no sense that they would give up this tech to the public. So when I see these stories of UAPs and UFOs, I'm thinking,

Black operations, dark technology sites off the books. We have no idea. Check this out. The whistleblower behind a stunning report submitted to Congress exposing what he claims is secret Pentagon program tracking unidentified anomalous phenomenon.

has now revealed his identity and says he fears for his future in speaking out. Matthew Brown is a former U.S. national security official who previously served as a policy advisor for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, a technical advisor for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense and Intel Security, and a program advisor for the Department of State.

He publicly identified himself as a whistleblower in Weaponized, episode 74, a podcast released Tuesday that is hosted by investigative journalist and UFO experts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp. Brown is the author of the Immaculate Constellation field report, a document entered in the congressional record earlier this year that alleges the executive branch has been secretly managing UAP programs for decades without congressional oversight. Quote.

This is absolutely what I did not want to do, Brown said. I am on a personal level giving up the future that I made for myself and was going to try to make for a family. My hope is that the stakes are not paid out, but they are life imprisonment and the possibility of – wow. He says my hope is that the stakes are not paid out, but they are life imprisonment and the possibility of execution.

Brown, who held top top secret sensitive compartmented information, T.S.S.C.I. clearances with counterintelligence scope polygraph C.I.P.O.L.I. during his government career, is bound by strict secrecy agreements that carry steep penalties if classified information is improperly disclosed. Speaking to Daily Mail, Corbell said these fears are not unfounded, even if rarely forced to the extreme, quote.

When you're in the classified world, you sign your life away. There are serious consequences for leaking national security information. And yes, on paper, that includes life imprisonment and even capital punishment in rare cases tied to espionage. Now, I'll say this. Maybe it's a psyop. We have no idea. What I can tell you is this. Members of Congress are demanding answers on UAP UFO phenomenon.

Pilots have seen these things. It has been reported far and wide by numerous people that they've encountered these things. Military veterans, straight face, straight laced guys, no BS, no joke. And they're telling you, I flew, I saw something. Now, maybe it's aliens. I don't know. I don't know why we'd assume it would be aliens of all things. Maybe the answer to Fermi's paradox is that aliens do exist. We have contacted them. They're just keeping the public in the dark because these are things we typically have trouble perceiving.

Or maybe we actually do perceive them and just don't realize it. You wouldn't know, right? Like a dog doesn't know what a highway is. It knows something's there, but it can't quite figure it out. Or maybe there are no aliens. Not that we've discovered. And these whistleblowers are coming out by official order. That is. I'm not trying to accuse these guys of anything. I'm just saying. Imagine you're the U.S. government and you want to instill fear in your enemies.

You can do a bunch of different things. One of the things you can do is have a whistleblower come out saying the U.S. has access to advanced alien technology. Trust me. You then do some stunts and trick the public into thinking that these phenomena actually exist. And your enemies are unsure of whether or not you will use a powerful weapon they have never seen. Keep your enemies terrified. We don't know.

What I can only say for now is surface level. What do we know? People are making these claims. Videos have emerged. Members of Congress have argued. We've seen videos. We had Rep Nancy Mace who said, I can't describe the shape of what we've seen, but we don't know what it is. And she was saying, like, this is classified stuff I can't share. I can only mention there's a particular shape we can identify, but I can't tell you what that shape is. Maybe it's a pyramid shape.

Tetrahedron? No idea. Something's out there. It could be us. It could be our enemies. It could be aliens. It could be fake. Some people mention Project Bluebeam. They say holograms are projected in the sky. You know what talking plasma is? If you take two lasers and intersect them, you'll see a little bead of light as the light refracts. You know, if you blow smoke on a laser, you can see the laser beam. Laser beams aren't impressive. They've been around forever. We get what they are. But what if you take three lasers and

And you put on some electric motors, some actuators, and then you've got this little dot in 3D space. If the lasers all move perfectly synchronized, the dot can move around in 3D space, seemingly at ultra high speeds and stop on a dime. That's called talking plasma. It's an illusion. Now, what if you had like a thousand lasers, different colors? We could do red, blue, and green. You could then create holographic images in the sky that seemingly move around and could go in water and come out.

Is this just a big cat laser pointer trick that they're playing on us? Man, I wish I had answers for you, but I don't. All I know is this is interesting. And I look forward to speaking with more members of the administration and members of Congress about this stuff. Not that I think they'll tell us the truth, but the truth is out there. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up throughout the day. Stay tuned and we will see you all in the next bit.

Donald Trump held a cabinet meeting today and a reporter asked Marco Rubio about Abrego Garcia and Marco Rubio smacks down this reporter. And it's kind of bold. Take

Take a listen.

Indeed. And it's exactly as the Supreme Court ruled. You can't compel the executive branch to engage in foreign policy. So while they are basically saying to the Trump administration, bring him back if you can, they're not forcing him to bring him back. But according to CNN, Marco Rubio and Salvadoran president have been in touch about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. So we will see how much this pans out. But there is another story, my friends.

And that is Donald Trump's statements about MS-13 being written on his knuckles. And Trump really does seem to think that the letters MS and 1 and 3 were written on his hand. Remember that photo he held up where it showed the hand? It's got the marijuana, the smiley, the cross and the skull. And it was a symbol symbolizing MS-13. Well, in Trump's interview over this matter,

He actually seems to think that he really does have MS-13 written on his hand. And here's you know, I got these liberals. We got Brian, Brian, Tyler Cohen. Let me see if I can pull this one up. He says, checking in on this, Tim. And he tweeted me on April 19th. I tweeted, holy F liberals fall for this ish because their influence influencers are effing. If you know what I mean.

It's a story from The Independent. Quote, he's got MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles. Trump appears to hold up altered image of a Brego Garcia's hand. The point of my statement is that liberals genuinely believed that a key or legend provided to Donald Trump was Donald Trump attempting to Photoshop the image to trick them and other people.

That's the amazing thing about it. But now, now that Trump has made this statement, seemingly genuinely believing that MS-13 was actually written out of sand. And I know that Trump supporters are going to argue he did not mean literally. Let me play the clip for you and then we'll break this one down.

And then they looked and on his knuckles he had MS-13. There's a dispute over that. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattooed. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. But let's move on. Wait a minute. Hey, Terry. Terry. He did not have the letter MS-13. It says MS-13. That was Photoshopped.

So let me know what's Photoshop. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you, but that's OK. I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattoo. We'll agree to disagree. I want to move on to something else.

Do you want me to show you the picture? I saw the picture. We'll agree to disagree. Oh, and you think it was photoshopped? Here we go. Here we go. Don't photoshop it. Go look at his hand. He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them. I want to turn to Ukraine. No, no. Terry, Terry. No, no. No, no.

He had M.S. as clear as you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe the news, because it's fake news. When he was photographed in El Salvador, they aren't there. But let's just go on. They aren't there when he's in El Salvador.

They're there now, right? No. They're in your picture. Terry. Ukraine, sir. He's got MS-13 on his knuckles. All right. Okay. We'll take a look. It's such a disservice. We'll take a look at that, sir. Why don't you just say it? Yes, he does. And, you know, go on to something else. It's contested. Ukraine. Coming up. It's contested. Okay. Let's break this down. Liberals.

If your argument is Trump is now so stupid he actually believed that the Photoshop he held up, the quote unquote Photoshop he held up was real, you're saying you are stupid. What is with these people? Okay, let's try this. When Donald Trump held up that document, piece of paper,

Here's what I think happened. Somebody in the Trump administration said, look, we believe these tattoos on his hand represent MS-13. So they went on a computer and it's not Photoshop. It looks like paintbrush, to be honest, and just took some Times New Roman MS-13 over the symbols to show them as a quote unquote legend. This is what the marijuana means. M, the smiley, S, the cross, one, the skull, three. I don't know why the skull means three. The cross makes sense. It's a one, right?

So arguably, they give this to Trump. Liberals then argued Trump was trying to trick all of these people with a Photoshop as if they genuinely thought that Trump was showing the image of the knuckles with MS-13 like a real image. Okay, let me try this again for all these liberals. Your argument initially was that Trump Photoshopped this image and you all thought, clear as day, y'all thought,

That reasonably could have been a tattoo. And then people like me were like, that's obviously just a legend made in paintbrush. The colors are even different. The intention from the administration was to highlight the symbols and what they may mean.

If your argument, Brian Tyler Cohen, is now that you knew the whole time that it was intentionally done to symbolize as this, what's the guy's name? I forgot the Terry Moran. Is that his name? If you are now admitting you knew the whole time they were intending to show what the symbols actually mean, but because Trump genuinely believed it's real, Trump's the idiot now. You are proving exactly what I was saying about you.

Want to ask me what I think about Donald Trump believing the MSN-13 was actually tattooed on the hands?

Trump's an old man who sometimes gets things wrong. He's not a demigod perfect guy. He does stupid things sometimes. That's just reality. Hey, we can always go back to he shouldn't have bombed Yemen. He shouldn't have launched a commando raid in Yemen. He shouldn't have launched missile strikes on Syria. You ain't going to get it from me. What reality do people live in? Let me just explain for you the disdain I have for this people and why it's so simple.

Donald Trump holds up a picture. The liberals pretend that that's an actual tattoo, like a sane, reasonable person is actually going to believe that that's a real tattoo on the guy's hand. And then I say, I can't believe the media is doing this. Trump was intending to show likely an aide or someone in his administration said, hold this photo up so we can explain the gang tattoos on his hand.

Trump spends five seconds looking at it, holds it up and then carries on with his day. Not a big deal for him. Probably doesn't pay attention. But unfortunately for Trump, he made a mistake. He didn't look into it, maybe because he wasn't paying attention or because he's got bad eyes, because he doesn't know what Photoshop is.

He actually thought it would seem MS-13 was written on his knuckles. Fascinating. OK, most people would not think that most sane, rational people are going to be like, oh, they they're showing you what the symbols mean.

The liberals were apoplectic. They were arguing that that was reasonably considered a Photoshop of tattoos. But now that Trump is coming out and saying he's got MS one three clear his day. The liberals are like, we knew the whole time that that was actually just paintbrush and no one would believe it. Your argument now was my argument. Then y'all are disingenuous. OK, insult Donald Trump and mock him for making a mistake. And I'm going to be like, OK,

This is the funniest thing. We had this journalist on Tim Guest, RL, IRL. And she's like, when was the last time you criticized Elon Musk or Donald Trump? And then Shane just looks over and he's like, I hate Elon Musk. These people don't get it that they live in this bubble world where they think that we're all walking around imagining that Donald Trump is actually as depicted in a Ben Garrison comic. Guys, I'm aware that Donald Trump is out of shape. I am aware that Donald Trump gets things wrong.

Yeah, I'm not phased at all that by it. My statement, Brian, on X stands, stands firm.

You are you are calling it an altered image. That's the point. It's not an altered image. OK, that's factual, but not truthful fact. It's an image with alterations to it. It was an attempt, as we already figured out, to show what these symbols mean. Terry Moran was right. He was saying, well, it was showing the interpretation. No, not interpretation. MS-13. Trump was wrong. OK, moving on. This is this is the problem I have with these people. They live in a world where it's like.

Trump is wrong about everything all the time, no matter what. And my attitude is much more like Trump gets a lot of things wrong. In fact, Trump lies quite a bit, but he lies about stupid things. You know what I mean? They're saying he's lying about this. I'm like, no, I think Trump probably was handed a piece of paper. Didn't spend much time looking at it and is wrong. I think he misunderstood what was being handed to him. I don't think Trump is a stupid guy. He's a billionaire. But look, he's handed a piece of paper. He says, what is this? OK, hold it up. He holds it up and he moves on.

He made a dumb mistake and now he looks stupid. That's it. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Maybe Trump will be a lot. You know, you know, Trump's the kind of guy where if someone comes up and says, Mr. President, that's not literally in his hand. I'm sorry you misunderstood. He's the kind of guy who's going to come out and be like, you know, I didn't realize I didn't look at it. They gave it to me and I thought it was there. I didn't know. But the symbols were there. So Terry was right. Uh huh. One of my favorite moments is when Trump is in a rally.

And he's like, these these lights are too bright. They maybe look orange. And then everybody laughs. He knows how to make people laugh. He knows when he's going to when he's going to fall on something or whatever. But I'm just a wrap up by saying this. I don't care that Trump got it wrong and looks stupid. He made a stupid mistake. It's kind of embarrassing. That's about it. Next. Next question. What does that matter?

Right. Ha ha. No, you're just showing that you guys were lying the whole time because you knew exactly what that image was calling it an altered image with a tattoo on it when you knew. And you're now admitting, you know, that's not a tattoo. Maybe Trump actually 4D chest you by pulling this move. He said, oh, the liberals are claiming is a real tattoo. I guess I'll do that.

Ridiculous. But welcome to the world we live in. I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends. Smash the like button. Share the show. Stay tuned. Follow me on Instagram. We got more. Actually, no, this is the last segment of the day, but we'll be back on TimCast IRL at 8 p.m. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all then.

Hi, I'm Chris Gethard, and I'm very excited to tell you about Beautiful Anonymous, a podcast where I talk to random people on the phone. I tweet out a phone number. Thousands of people try to call. I talk to one of them. They stay anonymous. I can't hang up. That's all the rules. I never know what's going to happen. We get serious ones. I've talked with meth dealers on their way to prison. I've talked to people who survived mass shootings.

Crazy funny ones. I talked to a guy with a goose laugh. Somebody who dresses up as a pirate on the weekends. I never know what's going to happen. It's a great show. Subscribe today. Beautiful Anonymous.
