Donald Trump's approval rating is at an all time high. Here's what the latest poll says. And this story from the Democrat and Chronicle. My oh my.

You know, in order to own the libs, all you have to do is read the news. And the news says Trump's great. Thanks, guys. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Make sure you tell all your friends and your liberal aunt that Trump's approval is an all-time high. And we'll see you next time. I'm just kidding. I will actually show you the news. But first, because you know I'm always trying to give you context. I'm not someone who's going to sit here and say, look, a new poll came out and says Trump's the best. No, I'm going to give you the aggregate. In aggregate, Donald Trump is at minus 30%.

zero point nine. So about minus one. His approval rating is at forty seven point nine. His disapproval is at forty eight point eight. We seem to get a wild swing in the polls, as I've mentioned several times before. While it does seem many of the latest polls do have Trump underwater. I am not surprised. Things are crazy right now. RMG has Trump up ten points a week ago. So it's like pretty crazy.

Ultimately, I try to stress as we do talk about the latest polls that come out, it is a bit up in the air. That being said, guys, minus point nine is still a career best for Trump. If you take a look at his approval ratings in his first term, he was never near this good in aggregate. So Fox News has the poll as well.

Trump Republicans at record high ratings as Democrats falter. Huge news. Take a look at this. Overall job performance of Trump seen at forty nine with his approval at fifty one among Democrats. Ninety two percent among Republicans. Ninety two percent approval. Great. Independents have Trump two to one disapproval. Can't say I'm surprised. But why this matters is that the Republican Party has outgrown the Democratic Party thanks to the work of the likes of Scott Pressler.

So it may still be up in the air, but I think it's actually fair to see. When you look at Democrats, Republicans and independents, I think Fox assessment largely makes a lot of sense that Trump is underwater a couple of points. This does put him within the respective margin of error, which is three percent for his overall job performance. So margin of error. Hey, great job, Donald Trump. Now, the issue at play, my friends.

The issues, of course, the economy, immigration, et cetera, and the perception of what Trump is doing. Perception is what matters most. Tariffs are going to hurt a lot of people, but I think ultimately will help a lot of people. I will not be surprised if by the end of this term, Trump's approval rating still bad, but the country is healing in tremendous ways. The deportation of criminals, Trump now deporting a bunch of these activists who oppose American foreign policy interests is questionable.

But depending on what they do, I'm fine with it. And the question is, under the law, is it allowed? You want to disagree? You want to argue? Fine. Trump isn't doing things like, I don't know, signing the indefinite detention provision without any challenge at all. Let's do that. Go back to 2012. Barack Hussein Obama, they call him, signs the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. They sign these every year, but this one included a provision that

That allowed for the indefinite detention of anyone anywhere for any reason. Did anybody complain? Republicans certainly didn't care. They were clapping and tapping and saying, oh, boy, we love this power. Democrats were like, we ain't going to holler at our boy, Barack Obama. He's never done anything wrong in his life ever. Barack Obama walks in and says, I have not done anything wrong in my life ever. And the Democrats said, we know this and we love you.

Now that we have the MAGA movement, the populist movement, this stuff don't fly. And a lot of people are saying we don't want to see unconstitutional actions and attempts at these rendition bills or whatever. So Donald Trump, what he's done so far has been legal and constitutional. You might disagree with it. I have questions. Fine. But under the Alien Enemies Act, Trump is allowed to deport people. Perception matters. Democrats, of course, will be apoplectic no matter what.

So Trump's real mission right now needs to be to aid and assist independent voters, middle of the road individuals. How he does that will be tough. Sometimes the moves you got to make like tariffs are a good thing. They are. But it can cause short term pain. Trump is probably hoping he can navigate this in the first year or two and some wars boost the economy. And once you boost the economy, my friends, that's when it all comes a crumbling down.

The hatred, the smears, the lies don't matter when someone's getting paid. So I got a question for you guys. What percentage of leftists do you think would abandon their ideology for money? I'm going to go ahead and say 99%. Seriously, everybody's got a price. How many conservatives do you think would abandon their ideology for money? Serious question. I think it's high. I don't think it's anywhere near 99%. I'd estimate it may be, I don't know, maybe 50%. I'll tell you why.

Go to a far leftist who's a Marxist. They have no faith structure. They have no moral tradition. And they're going to say something like, you know, eat the rich. Sure. They're going to say free Luigi or something. You walk up to that person and say, hey, buddy, how would you like to work? Million dollars a year. You will want for nothing. And you will put on a suit.

And you will argue against communism. Here's what we'll do. We want you to be a spokesperson as a former communist who supports capitalism. And we're going to give you one million dollars, bro. Almost all of them are going to say, yes, please sign me up. They're going to go, well, I mean, I'm not like a strong communist. I mean, I'm just like I'm just kind of upset about some things. Is that OK? You'll be like, sure, buddy. Million bucks. Just go on TV. Say you were a communist. They will pay.

These people will take the money in two seconds. Go to a conservative and say, you're Christian. I want you to denounce Jesus Christ. I'll give you a million dollars a year to say you're reformed. Former you're an atheist, former Christian pro. Good luck. The overwhelming majority of true Christian conservatives ain't never going to take that money. There's a difference in worldviews. Now, don't get me wrong. They're going to be some liberals and leftists who are going to say no to the money.

For sure. I think overwhelmingly the ones you encounter will take it. And of course, there are going to be conservatives who are Christian, who will be like, well, you know, I would be denouncing my Lord and Savior, but that money can be used for good. And I'd be stupid not to take it. And then you wonder if they ever actually had faith or believed in it. Ultimately, what I mean to say is, my friends, Democrats operate on whims and their ideologies are completely meaningless. Trump has no reason to try and pander to them because no matter what he does, they're going to oppose it.

Independent voters largely middle of the road. They're not so much the same. They just want to make good money and get a good job and kind of watch TV. You know what I mean? They want to live comfortable lives. There are there are independents who lean certain directions based on the people who surround them. But for the most part, you get these people a good economy and they're going to support you and they're going to say you're doing a good job. So let's take a look at Democrat and Chronicle. They say NBC has Trump's approval at forty seven.

They say the poll indicates that voters are split on the midterms. The Democratic Party is at 27 percent in a White House press release issued on Monday. The administration highlighted the poll results, saying Trump ties for highest approval he's ever had. As more Americans say, the U.S. is on the right track than in any time in 20 years. Hey, that's something in it. Fox News said nine in 10 Republicans approve of Trump. This we know it's a little bit generic. Here we go.

Nothing's really changed, has it?

Congressional Republicans hit their highest approval ratings ever this month as 43% of voters approve and 55% disapprove. While that is upside down by 12 points, it still constitutes a significant improvement from the 36 net negative rating in October. Wow. Oh, okay. I see. I say interesting. News across the island. So, Rosie, for Democrats in Congress, 66% disapprove. They got 30% approval according to Fox News. CNN has them at 29 and NBC has them at 27. Yikes.

nearly matching their record low in 2013. The current 36 point deficit represents a marked decline from the 23 point difference. Here we go. Job ratings for Trump. You've got Democrats at 30 percent. Look at this. Republicans are at 43 percent. You know what? That's largely thanks to like Thomas Massey. Seriously.

Democrats are united in their antipathy toward Trump, but they aren't happy with their own party either. What you got to understand about the anger of the Democratic Party, it's not because they realize Democrats are nuts. Some people did. They're just Republicans now. Democrats want their party to be crazier. I say unleash the hounds. Let them do it. Democrats, I'm rooting for you. Go far left. Open the borders. Men and women's prisons. You do it.

Those things don't speak to egg prices or gas prices. So right now, while Donald Trump's approval may be a little underwater, gas prices is down. Egg prices is down. Inflations is down. I think Donald Trump's going to start seeing some improvement in the next couple of months if he gets a handle on this. So I will stress to Mr. President, you got to make sure you're handling this properly.

The American people need a functional economy. I love the more esoteric things being done by the administration. I'm a politico. I read the news every day. But for the average working American, we just want to make sure you're highlighting that we need cheaper gas, cheaper cars, we need cheaper products, cheaper fuel, easier life for them. Be that leader. But sometimes a strong leader says it's going to be stormy weather before it gets better. The night is always darkest before the dawn. I'm going to leave it there, my friends. Stay tuned. Timcast IRL coming up tonight at 8 p.m. And we'll see you all then.

Perhaps one of the craziest stories of this administration is that people don't want to have cars because the guy who started that company is working with Donald Trump. But this is the essence of what cancel culture has always been and the cult that is the left.

Take a look at these stickers that are popping up where it says we bought this before we knew Elon was crazy. Take a look at the people who are disguising their Teslas out of fear of terrorism. I'm not being cute. There was an incident where they literally shot up a Tesla dealership and shot bullets into privately owned Tesla vehicles. An individual was arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails. It's crazy.

Now, I think when Pam Bondi broke that story, they may have been referring to the individual that they had already caught. Everyone already knew about where a person was caught with incendiary devices. We've got more videos of people keying Tesla cars. That's a cult. Y'all are nuts. No, these are regular random people who own Teslas. And certainly these tests were all bought before the past three months. Donald Trump has been in now for what? This is going to be two months to.

Do you think that all the Teslas y'all are coming across were bought, built brand new two months ago? These are regular people who own Teslas and the cultists are vandalizing and attacking them. Now you got this. Senator Elon Musk called a traitor gets rid of his Tesla. Don't want a car built by an a-hole. OK, and Tesla stock seems to be going down quite a bit. I'm too worried about it, though. You got to buy the dip.

But it does show that if you want the market of the cult, you can't deviate from the cult. So I'm going to go ahead and say, I don't know that I care all much, care all that much about being involved in whatever it is, the garbage nonsense they're involved in. Right. I want a good car. I own three Teslas, three. I got a Cybertruck, got a Model S and I got a Model 3. And I made the joke that because it will own the libs, I've decided to buy a second Cybertruck and I will program it to auto drive behind my first Cybertruck wherever I go.

I didn't I didn't think that tweet was going to get so much traction, but it did. OK, look, man, it's a cult. The left is a cult. I'm going to show you the things they're talking about and the things that they're doing. It's a car. Could you imagine if people were like Hyundai is a foreign made car and we're America first. So we're going to go no more Toyotas. How come Trump supporters ain't going around keying up Volkswagen? Yeah, I don't know. Here's a story from Mediaite.

Senator Mark Kelly announced on Friday he was getting rid of his Tesla for an upgrade. Just days after CEO Elon Musk called the former Navy captain a traitor for visiting Ukraine. He said, hey, folks.

Mark Kelly here in Washington driving to work for the last time in my Tesla, which I when I bought this thing, I didn't think it was going to become a political issue. Still isn't. But y'all made it because you're crazy. Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing, is doing, are doing to our country. Talking about slashing Social Security, cutting health care benefits for poor people, for seniors. Well,

He made that move. Here's the video. Hey, folks, Mark Kelly here in Washington, driving to work for the last time in my Tesla. When I bought this thing, I didn't think it was going to become a political issue. It's not. But y'all are crazy. Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so.

It reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country. Talking about slashing Social Security, cutting health care benefits for poor people, for seniors. Blah, blah, blah, blah. You get it. I don't need to replay what we already read. OK, let's try this. James Island man charged for arson of a North Charleston Tesla charging station.

About that. That's right. It's a week ago. Daniel Clark Pounder, 24, of James Island, has been arrested on criminal charges related to an arson at a North Charleston Tesla charging station. The complaint alleges that on March 7th, the North Charleston Police Department and North Charleston Fire Department responded to a Tesla charging station on Tanger Outlet Boulevard to reports of an arson. Witnesses reported that a man spray painted in red paint F Trump and long live Ukraine. These people are nuts.

There's more. Here we go. 24-year-old suspect arrested for Tesla dealership arson and vandalism. Fort Collins resident was arrested after the Loveland Tesla dealership was vandalized. There's a really funny video going around right now where this old guy in a USA jacket gets out of his car, looks at a Tesla next to him, walks back and forth, and then keys it. My dudes, I need you to understand. Every Tesla, okay, they auto drive because they have cameras everywhere. Okay, there's, let's see,

Let me let me count the cameras. You got two on the left, two on the right, two in the front. And then you've got well, it's maybe one in the front. I think I think there's more than one in the front, to be honest. There's two in the front. I could be wrong. You got one in the back and then you've got one inside. At least as far as I know from the cameras that I use, there are seven and the cameras are always recording as soon as anything is detected near a Tesla.

The camera, like a dog could, a bird could land on the ground. Cameras turn on. These people are so dumb. Hey, Cupcake. It's us, Hostess. The ones who bring joy in the form of creamy, dreamy deliciousness. And we're talking to you, you ding-dongs. But don't add stress one bit or bite. You were just too busy craving a sweet snack that raises all the cash bars. And we Twinkies swear we have Melta more than one for you.

Guy, he gets caught and someone's filming him and he's like, yo, you're the guy who keyed that Tesla. I don't know what you're talking about. It's like, bro, you're on camera. Like the video's gone viral. Teslas have cameras in them. Do you know how Tesla auto drive works? When you're driving, you don't got to have your hands on the steering wheel. It's got a camera. It's creepy, I know. In your, in your, in like the, in the, right where the mirror is, it's pointed at you. Pretty sure there's a dash cam too. So it might be eight.

And if at any point your eyes go away from the road for at least like five or 10 seconds, it starts flashing. Like I'm going to turn off auto drive unless you look back at that road. It used to be that you had to keep pressure on the wheel. And that was so dumb because if you were holding on the wheel, but it didn't feel like you were holding on tight enough, it was like, you got to apply pressure now. So it wasn't really self-driving. Now it's legit. Now you just sit back and you stare at the road. It just goes. But what are these people thinking? Look at this. We got more.

Actually, I think this may be the same one if this is, I don't know. Second arrest made in string of Loveland Tesla attempted arsons. Yo, there were literally far leftists going around committing arson against Tesla dealerships. OK, let's bring it to our good friends over on Reddit. Trump says he will label violence on Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism. Yes, because these are political attacks against an American corporation for the efforts that are wholly political.

What the F from the admin that blanket pardoned thousands of domestic terrorists? Ah, here we go. The scene is shocking. When is a private citizen ever had the president address the media to practice businesses? Didn't Joe Biden? What is this New Yorker? The president is shilling beans. That's right. Goya Products.

So what? I remember when 9-11 happened and George W. Bush was like, you got to go out and go shopping. But didn't didn't Joe Biden buy a Jeep? What was that Jeep thing he did? To be fair, I don't really care. What is this on X? I just Googled it. Oh, oh, geez. Joe Biden, what are you doing? Is that a Rubicon? Should be promoting products like that. White House in a hybrid Jeep Wrangler.

In what is this? Oh, man, this is from the first year of Biden's presidency. Heavens me. Look at this. Oh, come on, guys. I don't care that Biden did this. I never cared that Biden did this. I don't care that Trump is doing it. They're acting shocked because they don't pay attention to the news ever. They have no idea what actually is going on. Now we're in Ireland. Tesla vehicles damaged at Belfast dealership. What? Why? Why?

What does Elon Musk have to do with Ireland? Did Elon come out and say, Doge is going to go to the Northern Ireland and the British UK government and we're going to take away all of your whatever it is you have. NHS. No, it's a cult. Now, I know you may be saying, but Tim, they're in Ireland. How is it? It's it's it's it's it's a leftist social orthodoxy. It started here. Our Tesla dealerships directly owned our franchises directly owned.

Oh, no. Anyone who owns a Tesla will be getting insurance quotes so unbelievably high. They'll be back to ICE engines quickly, unfortunately. My friends, Teslas are insured by Tesla. These people have no idea what they're talking about. In the app, you have your car and you can swipe between them because I have three. And I know I have a lot of cars. And the insurance is from Tesla. Originally,

So the first car that I had was, well, if I go back far enough, the first car I had was a Mazda 323 hatchback. Let's go, baby. That was fun. Got like 800 miles to the gallon. Okay. Got like 40, but still tiny car, little, little, little tin box. But the first car that I had went out since we've been out here was in fact, not a Tesla. It was a Honda, a Honda Accord. What a beautiful car. In fact, more expensive than a Tesla. Okay.

But for gas price reasons, Teslas are great for local commute. Going to the grocery store, doing whatever. Fantastic. Prices are way down. We drive into the city like the D.C. It ain't so bad because there's charging stations everywhere. So we usually have no problems. In fact, all of the Teslas can make it to D.C. and back without having to charge. And they come back and they're still at like 30 some odd percent. It's really cold and it gets low. That's that's cold for you. But, you know, I think it's fantastic. So when we first got them.

And insurance initially, we initially got insurance on the test on my Model 3. It was the first one I got. And they canceled it on us several times. We kept getting dropped by everybody and we don't know why.

So finally, I just said, just switch to the Tesla insurance. When we got the model, when I got the Model S, it's just I opened up the app and said, purchase insurance. So these people, they don't understand anything they're talking about. They are insane cultists. They are getting violent and angry at cars owned by private individuals. I ain't playing that game. These people are nuts and they should be locked up. But hey, man, I'm not going to give you financial advice. But when it comes to stock, I own some. I'm going to buy the dip. That's just me. I'm going to leave it there. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we will see you all in a bit.

Your Amazon device is going to spy on you. I told you here, I warned you here, so heed my friends. Amazon is killing its most important privacy option. It all starts this month. Amazon will now send recordings of your Alexa conversations to its servers. Literally everything you say, everything you do all the time is being recorded and sent to these companies. Don't believe me. It's true. It's been true since they implemented this.

So let me break it down for you. Simple story without bearing the lead. That device you got sitting on your wall, reportedly, everything you say will be absorbed, sent to their servers. But that was always the case. They're saying they're killing its privacy option because now they're going to have access to that information. But let me tell you, this is 10 years ago. This is 12, 13 years ago. How do you think your device knows when you tell it to turn on?

I'm not going to use the actual call phrase because I'm not going to be a dick to you guys. But let's say the phrase was, hey, Bill, and then your device turns on. It's not. It's, hey, product name or OK, product name. You get the point. Imagine, hey, Bill, and then the thing lights up. And then Bill goes, hello, what can I do for you? And then you'd say, play me a song about this, that or otherwise. And then it does. How did it know you said the activation phrase? Oh, it was recording you the whole time.

The way voice to text and voice commands work, a recording of your voice is sent over the internet to a server. The server basically then takes the wavelength of your voice and converts it to text commands. The text commands are then sent to the computer and converted that text into an operation. That's how it breaks it down. It's kind of duct tapey, right?

People think stored within their little device is the ability to turn sound into text. Not correct. It is sent off to a company that does that. That means they must record everything you say. Why? What if you said, hey, bread, oh, it didn't turn on. Hey, Bill, turns on. That means it's listening all the time. So welcome to your brave new world.

A few weeks ago, Amazon announced Alexa Plus. Uh-oh. The company's generative AI-powered version of its voice assistant. At the time, it seemed inevitable the way the company treated your data and interactions with Alexa would have to change. Now, according to an update to Amazon's privacy policy, we know more about what that means and when things will change. The announcement came in the form of an email to customers and was first reported by Ars Technica.

The email explains the beginning of March 28th, customers will no longer have the option to not have their voice conversation recordings sent to Amazon. As we continue to expand Alexa's capabilities with generative AI features that rely on the processing power of Amazon's secure cloud, we've decided to no longer support this feature.

There was a lot going on in that sentence, and I think it's all worth unpacking. But first, it's worth mentioning that if you were using a voice assistant, you should probably assume that your conversation is being recorded and that recording is being sent to a server somewhere off your device. The fact that some voice assistants don't do this is a meaningful benefit, but you should just assume they all do and act accordingly.

It's also fair to point out that Amazon doesn't necessarily have anything nefarious planned. The change is pretty much how Alexa Plus works. The large language model required to make the new version of Alexa work doesn't run locally on your devices, which means your query has to be sent to the cloud where Amazon servers will process your voice prompt. It literally has to make a recording and send it to its servers. As I've already explained, that's how they operate. Now, my friends, it's a great tool. I mean, they're really amazing.

But there's a bigger reason why they're doing this. Have you ever asked yourself why it is that Elon Musk bought X.com? Could it be that the Babylon Bee got banned and he said free speech? I can say to my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, hey, find a keto-friendly restaurant nearby and text it to Beth and Steve. And it does without me lifting a finger. So I can get in more squats anywhere I can. One, two, three. Will that be cash or credit? Credit.

How dare you? I don't buy it for a second. No, I think it played a small role. But I think Elon Musk's intention with X was if you want to make a large language model, why not plug in to the apex, the stream of human consciousness? That is, we call it the fire hose.

The firehose of X is a powerful tool where people are posting their thoughts, feelings, opinions, views, videos, whatever. 24-7 is a massive stream of data you could not possibly begin to collect. You plug that into a large language learning model and you will have one of the most powerful AIs in existence overnight. And where are we now? Grok. I mean, it's the best. ChatGPT has gotten slow and crappy.

And being challenged. People are arguing they're stealing information and taking people's creative works to create its ability to make images or other things like that. Grok. Well, when you're on X and you post those videos, it just puts them in its database. You already agreed to put those photos there. Elon knows what he's doing. Now, as for Amazon, they also want to train their AI. So all they got to do is take everything you say.

And with a device in nearly every home, man, is this also reminiscent of Batman forever? I literally just watched that movie the other night for some reason. I don't know why. But the Riddler wants to put the box in everyone's home and make them watch this. You know, it steals their brainwaves when they're watching this mind rot stuff. And he absorbs their intellect. Strange. It didn't work because he was very dumb and in no way was made smarter. But I digress.

Everybody is going to have one of these devices in their home, and it's going to be listening to everything you say all the time. Why? It has to. How else would it know you're calling its name? Right. So I don't know. Arguing with the wife. They got it. At least that's presumption. Right. And they're going to use all of that data to make AI. Can you imagine where this is going? The different strategies that big tech has towards creating these massive AI structures is nuts.

They're going to say it is, however, problematic that Amazon isn't giving people the option to continue to choose not to have their voice conversations recorded and sent to the company's servers. Sure, it wouldn't be possible to use Alexa Plus, but that seems like a reasonable tradeoff for anyone who places a higher value on protecting their privacy than on the ability to talk to a chat bot that probably won't do what you might want. Also might just make things up. If you're fine with your voice continuing working this way, working the way it has, you should be able to opt out of having your recording sent to Amazon.

Do they not understand how it activates in the first place? It's already going to a company, probably just not Amazon. More importantly, to go back to the statement, Amazon blew this one. Giving people the opportunity to not have their voice conversations recorded is not a feature. It should be the default. Unless someone chooses otherwise, their information should remain on the device and not sent to a cloud service. Yes, that means by default, you wouldn't have access to Alexa Plus. Blah, blah, who cares? They say in this case...

Most people do not want recordings of their conversations that Alexa used to train an LLM. Sure, Amazon says the recording is deleted as soon as your query is fulfilled, but I don't think that's going to make people feel better about it, especially since they no longer have a choice. They're going to train their AIs off of every word you say. And it's fascinating. You know why? Right now, it's all written. The large language models are rudimentary. They see the text you write.

Now, many of them have started watching YouTube videos. The scary thing is, apparently, I think ChatGPT, they say, has watched all YouTube or something like this. So you can tell it to write an argument against utilitarianism, and we'll tell it to as if it was a TimCast YouTube video.

apparently can do all of this because I've already uploaded everything about me. Oh, here they go. Yeah, I'm reading it right now. All right, folks, we got to talk about utilitarianism, the so-called greatest good of the greatest number philosophy. Sounds nice on paper, right? But let me tell you why this ideology is actually is absolutely dangerous and why the elites love it. So the big problem with utilitarianism is that it justifies horrific. This really does work for me.

Geez. Should I just, you know what I could do? I could take this. I could put it into an AI voice generator and just make YouTube videos for myself. Yo, sooner or later, the podcasts you watch are going to be AI generated. I'm gonna let you in on a secret. I know some people in the space. I'm not going to say who, because I don't know what they're doing and it's not my place, but apparently some prominent individuals are already scanning. They're doing multiple scans of their body.

So they can upload an AI generative lifelike video program. They want to make a program where you can type in the words and make this podcast or do whatever. What I'm told is they want to do internally so they can have staff use their personality while they don't have to actually work. Isn't that freaky? Hey, here's a guy who's deeply uncharismatic.

But Tim Pool is seemingly good for some reason. This program will translate his insight into the deeply charismatic musings of Tim Pool. Think about it. The feature's going to hold. For all you know, there's some...

Twenty three year old chick who is sitting there and she's writing up fancy stories and then puts it to an AI and says, I think this thing is bad for this reason. Take it, make it into a video where Tim Pool talks about it and the AI will do it. Yeah, that's where we're going, my friends. Well, maybe you'll be plugged into the box.

You'll be living in your fantasy reality with your neural link wired in. And the only thing you will truly ever know is that you are the great hero Voldemort. That sounds so much like Voldemort. Voldaren. There you go. It's got Darren in it. And you are a great knight who fights dragons. Good luck. The future sounds like it's going to be absolutely insane. And we'll see what happens. You know, I do think only the religious and the virtuous are going to survive this one because all the rest are going to plug themselves in just like Cypher in the Matrix.

Stay tuned, my friends. We got more segments coming up. We will see you all shortly.

And then I stumbled upon this alt history. And it's a it's an interesting post. It's a subreddit where they're talking about alternative history. Obvious, right? And in this, we have three parts. How Reddit would react to a civil war. Now, I know many of you may say it's rather silly.

Someone put together a bunch of images of fake news stories. I don't say they're fake news stories, but alternate historical takes on what's going on and how the Internet would react. I actually think is extremely important. We look at why.

In this first image, it says violent extremists clash with police over recount decision in Pennsylvania. This has to do with a an electoral crisis in the last election. It is fictional. These are all going to be fictional. But when I started looking at these posts and how someone envisioned what might happen, you realize how normal all of it seems. And then you start to think about the actual stories you're looking at and how crazy everything really is.

When I look at this story, it says violent extremists clash with police over recount decision in Pennsylvania. Well, it's a fake story. It's not real. It's an envisioning. It's an imagination. What if I shared a story saying over a dozen terror attacks on Tesla dealerships nationwide a year ago? That would have fit perfectly into the alt history.

What I think you start to realize is that we've normalized so much of this. We've adapted to it. And so I want to take you through this and take a look at how they describe what an alternate version of history would look like if a civil war to break out. This is from Alt History two weeks ago. How would Reddit react to a modern civil war in the USA? Part one is a series of images of social media posts and the reaction to them in this simply a CNN story posted to our slash politics. Violent extremists clash. The next image.

Our slash politics breaking fire breaks out at Trump Tower. And these are not none of this is real. This is just right. And then you can see 90,000 upvotes. The next image, mega thread, Elon Musk's Starlink linked to massive election fraud in key swing states, claims whistleblower.

Then get downtown the easy way aboard Amtrak with all the leg room and none of that middle seat stuff. Driving just doesn't track. Learn more at Amtrak dot com Amtrak retrain travel. Protesters joined by members of the squad outside Capitol amid calls for Trump to concede. So it sounds like what they're saying is these actually I don't even know if this is meant to be. OK, actually.

This looks like it's not even taking place in the past. They're arguing an alternate history right now. There have been arguments made by people on the left that Starlink was used to commit election fraud. And so I think what they're saying now is if someone were to come out and claim this, you would end up with protesters outside demanding Trump concede. I suppose this is during the election, whatever. One fake comment envisioning. Thank God some Democrats in our country are willing to stand up to treason.

CNN breaking news. Michigan and Pennsylvania Supreme Court's order recount site altered headline. It's happening. Jif says one fake comment. Does anyone know if the Capitol Police need deputies or volunteers as a commenter? You're welcome to join the counter protest. Some DSA guys are handing out masks and laser pointers. Some fake post too close to call. Harris flips Pennsylvania and Michigan after contested recounts. Governor Evers says tampered Wisconsin results are a no go. Here's the map showing Trump winning.

How would Reddit react? That's the actual numbers. Megathread U.S. Capitol on lockdown as pro-democracy protesters attempt to delay confirmation of tampered election revolts. OK, so this is this is envisioning a past history moving forward. Riders attempt attempt block Democratic lawmakers from leaving the Capitol. Kristen Gillibrand refuses to join Democrat walkout. Biden certification must be delayed until we can ensure a peaceful transfer of power.

As he should, he should be doing everything in his power to keep that fascist freak out of power. The fact is that when it comes to crazy, though, like they couldn't they have at least arrested him before the election? What is this felon allowed? How is the felon allowed to get so many votes? I'm going to jump now because I don't spend too much time just clicking through images.

To part two, what it looks like in the midst of civil war. Elon Musk, a fake tweet envisioning a response. Americans voted overwhelmingly to reelect Donald Trump. What the Biden-Harris administration are doing is not only undemocratic, but extremely dangerous. Then this story, armed white nationalist protesters occupy Capitol. Then you have another story, a fake Trump truth post. The forces of the deep state have conspired to undermine democracy and anoint crooked Kamala Harris.

If Sleepy Joe is still running this nation, he should call off the DOJ's treasonous attempts at my arrest. Recognize the actual results and free all unlawfully detained patriots. Horrifying photos that were censored, but I'm not going to entertain, but basically showing violence escalating.

Ron DeSantis in a fake post. The brave people of Florida will not stand for the illegal order from Washington to arrest the president. I'm proud to announce the troops at MacDill Air Force Base will be conducting exercises hand in hand with the Florida Air National Guard to further to prevent further attempts to weaponize our justice system. Alex Jones, emergency patriot stream. This is it, people. Trump has declared a campaign against the evil globalist goblins that have corrupted our nation.

The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson, interviews Dave Broderick, Vietnam vet turned guardian of democracy. Tucker Carlson, it is clear that any to anyone that saw the video of Biden signing the executive order to ban so-called treasonous symbols is AI generated. The question is who's running our government? Bomb them now, says 4chan. Be me. Live in West Palm Beach. Wake up at 4 a.m. Earth shattering. Kaboom. What is happening? Images of explosions.

A fake Trump truth. The traitors in Washington are once again trying to steal the election by force. The deep state attempted to take my life before killing nearly 30 innocent patriots. Dementia Joe, if you're still even running the show, know this. As you hide behind your deep state goons tucked away in your bunker, many of the greatest generals in our nation are preparing to rain fire upon you and your globalist masters. Breaking. Wisconsin recount complete. We did it, folks. And then you have the part three.

Again, I'm not I don't want to go through literally every single one of these posts. I think it's just fascinating to take a look at the imagination of what it would look like on the Internet. Wikipedia, the Madison revolt, belligerence, anti-government protesters versus U.S. Marines. Strength 143 to 38. Trump saying Kuki Kamala wasn't allowed to leave her bunker for her fake inauguration. I will be sworn in as the 47th president today in the great state of Florida, not underground.

Politics on Reddit. Democrats gain supermajority in House and Senate after traitors arrested. Harris signs historic executive order authorizing commission to investigate un-American activities. Megathread. FAQ about reporting subversive and MAGA-related activity to the CIUA. Interesting. R slash teenagers. Charlie Kirk, January 31st. Fictional version. Mind you, all fiction.

Harris's WEF puppet government has overstepped so many boundaries in the past 24 hours. But the creation of the CIUA is like something out of a bad YA novel. Know your rights, people. You do not need to comply with illegal orders from an illegitimate organization pushed through a purged Congress. Putin and Xi condemn interference. EU governments officially recognize Harris as president, vowed brutal response.

President Harris issues ultimatum to Trump and Musk. Stand down and stand trial. Trump on truth social. Any attempt to arrest me or any other rightfully elected politician will be considered an act of war. I call upon all patriots, etc. Breaking CI UA teams execute raids against Trump aligned agitators in Minneapolis. Mega thread. How to claim refugee status in the EU and Commonwealth countries. You get the point. You get the point. When I was looking through these.

I started to realize how mundane it seemed. Some of them seem a little crazy, like Trump posts. But why don't you guys go back a year? Take a look at the posts when Trump was nearly killed. That's what's really scared me about these these posts. Obviously, this is a fictional version of history, like I want to say for the millionth time, dating back to an election where it was contested. And there's two inaugurations, I guess. When I look at these posts,

And there's mega threads how to claim refugee status. And then I look at Trump posting, they're trying to jail me. They've weaponized the DOJ against a sitting president. I'm like, how much different is this really? The point, we've normalized this all. I was in a conversation recently with someone about civil war. And I said, how can you look at everything that we've seen so far and argue nothing is happening? Nothing's happening. Go back 10 years and ask yourself about Trump getting shot in the side of the head, nearly dying.

Go back to 2015 and say, see Trump come on the escalator. Ten years from now, nine and a half years from now, he will have served a full term as president. Supporters will have stormed the Capitol trying to stop the electoral vote count. And then someone will make an attempt on his life as he becomes the front runner for the presidency. People are going to be like, you're nuts. If you were to lay out the past 10 years of history, go 10 years ago and say, here's what will happen. They'd say you were crazy.

So when I look at all of these things, what freaks me out is I'm like, at any point, these things could be reality. These posts could be reality if things keep heating up. I don't know.
