• 0:00
  It's a doozy.
• 0:03
  But don't worry, we're going to talk
• 0:04
  about all of it.
• 0:06
  Push bar strike coming. Why?
• 0:10
  Cuz we need some caffeine to make it
• 0:11
  through this time.
• 0:14
  How are you guys?
• 0:36
  All right, let's see what chat's up to.
• 0:44
  I'll slowly let people filter on in.
• 0:52
  I'm talking about this story.
• 1:14
  Andrea spent four weeks traveling across
• 1:15
  Europe and a lot of people pissed at
• 1:16
  Trump. Yeah. Even
• 1:19
  my wife's parents who live in an over 55
• 1:22
  retirement community in a Texas suburb.
• 1:26
  It's 50/50 split between Tal Rico and
• 1:30
  Pax and Signs, which is wild. Okay. A
• 1:32
  50-50 split is surreal in places like
• 1:35
  Georgetown. All
• 1:37
  right.
• 1:44
  Yeah. What amazes me, um,
• 1:48
  thanks Ker for becoming a member. Yeah,
• 1:51
  this has been a wild, wild week. But you
• 1:55
  know what it is? Early voting has
• 1:57
  started in Texas.
• 2:04
  So there's a good chance
• 2:13
  he was a court jester, buddy.
• 2:16
  It's all presidente.
• 2:18
  I mean,
• 2:20
  if he wasn't in charge, he'd be so
• 2:22
  funny. He'd be so funny. All of the
• 2:25
  cope,
• 2:27
  the make believe, the fake peace deals.
• 2:29
  I mean, it would be hilarious.
• 2:41
  Elon, the fact that Elon was like,
• 2:42
  "Trump's in the Epstein files. Trump
• 2:44
  turns out to be in the Epstein files.
• 2:46
  Elon's also in the Epstein files and now
• 2:49
  they're friends again." Like, that [ __ ]
• 2:51
  is hilarious.
• 2:59
  Yeah, Trump has managed to alienate.
• 3:01
  That's a good point. both the anti-war
• 3:02
  crowd
• 3:04
  and the pro- Ukraine crowd, which by the
• 3:06
  way is is 50% of Republicans support
• 3:09
  Ukraine.
• 3:14
  Like almost no country,
• 3:16
  almost no group of people, not almost no
• 3:20
  subset of Americans support Russia.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  I mean, Steven Miller, you just feel
• 3:36
  bad. Like, imagine spending your life
• 3:39
  dedicated
• 3:41
  to a disgusting ideology.
• 3:44
  Like, something that's really just
• 3:45
  straight trash. Like, straight white
• 3:47
  nationalist purify the country trash.
• 3:49
  And then
• 3:52
  you get eight years to run the country
• 3:55
  and you ruin it. Like you just [ __ ] it
• 3:59
  all up. You collapse the social safety
• 4:02
  net. You collapse social security.
• 4:05
  You uh
• 4:09
  you like ruin the economy for a bunch of
• 4:11
  people.
• 4:13
  Nothing gets cheaper. That was the
• 4:15
  fantasy. That was the mass deportation
• 4:16
  fantasy. We kick out. By the way,
• 4:19
  remember 100 million Americans was the
• 4:21
  official tweet from DHS. That's every
• 4:25
  everyone who isn't white. Um, you kick
• 4:28
  out all them. That was Steven Miller's
• 4:30
  plan, by the way. That's what we're
• 4:31
  discussing.
• 4:33
  And then you,
• 4:38
  you know, you're going to kick them all
• 4:39
  out and then magically price are going
• 4:41
  to come down, housing is going to become
• 4:42
  affordable, people are going to have
• 4:44
  kids again. Like that was the fantasy.
• 4:46
  But it hasn't happened, has it?
• 4:52
  Robo lines. Listen, dude. Your social
• 4:53
  security has six and a half years left.
• 4:56
  They already robbed it. All those tax
• 4:58
  cuts to billionaires, man. They need
• 5:00
  like they got to pay taxes, man. They
• 5:01
  got to cough up some coin.
• 5:04
  Social Security, the Social Security tax
• 5:05
  is one of the most disgusting things
• 5:07
  actually in the US tax code. The fact
• 5:10
  that we stop it,
• 5:12
  right? It's a tax that you no longer
• 5:14
  have to pay if you earn if you cross
• 5:17
  into the about I'd say 10 top 10% of
• 5:21
  household income. It goes away. There's
• 5:24
  almost no tax on earth that punishes
• 5:26
  poor people more than rich people except
• 5:28
  for social security.
• 5:33
  The inability to do that is [ __ ]
• 5:36
  crazy.
• 5:48
  Yeah, I mean nothing here is is fixed.
• 5:50
  Listen, if you're in Texas, it's time,
• 5:52
  dude. Early voting is open.
• 5:56
  I'm probably going to go after this
• 5:57
  stream. Honestly, I got to look up the
• 5:59
  we have a couple of like referenda. Um,
• 6:02
  but here's the thing. Even if you are
• 6:04
  like, listen, I don't have much time.
• 6:06
  There is no law that says you have to
• 6:08
  vote on every candidate or every issue.
• 6:10
  If you don't know two candidates, just
• 6:12
  don't vote. That's easy.
• 6:22
  Fox kids. Okay. If you don't know, we'll
• 6:25
  talk. You don't know why they're like,
• 6:27
  "Why is this dude chewing so much?" I
• 6:29
  mean, somebody in chat should tell him.
• 6:31
  It's because of Strike Gum. Listen, it
• 6:33
  is the energy gum, the caffeine gum. All
• 6:35
  right.
• 6:39
  Would you rather hear me slurp an energy
• 6:41
  drink? This shit's disgusting.
• 6:44
  This, let's see, this has 220 calories
• 6:46
  and no [ __ ] 51 gram of sugar in it.
• 6:50
  Strike gum, zero sugar syrup, 90
• 6:53
  milligrams caffeine, same amount of
• 6:54
  caffeine, 100 milligrams alpha GPC.
• 7:02
  John content, here's the problem with
• 7:04
  with investing social security in the
• 7:07
  stock market. First off, the fact that
• 7:09
  401ks are now the default. We've already
• 7:12
  given huge portions of the American like
• 7:16
  the American public a share in American
• 7:18
  companies. And believe it or not, I
• 7:19
  actually love it. I love it. The Hassan
• 7:22
  Pikers of the world who are like the
• 7:24
  worker should own the means of
• 7:26
  production. Bro, what do you think a 401
• 7:28
  [ __ ] K is? You own American
• 7:30
  companies. You're an American worker.
• 7:32
  you own it. You got they it is by law
• 7:36
  those companies work for you the
• 7:37
  shareholder. So I think there should be
• 7:39
  more programs like the 401k to give even
• 7:42
  more Americans a stake in the American
• 7:44
  economy. Right. And you're like but Paul
• 7:46
  I thought you were a capitalist. I am
• 7:53
  placing why do you have an energy drink
• 7:54
  in your house? I literally bought these
• 7:56
  energy drinks. You can see so I can use
• 7:59
  them
• 8:00
  in my calls to action. and I keep them
• 8:02
  on my desk. You can see I've taped over
• 8:04
  the name. Who knows what this could be?
• 8:06
  Any energy drink.
• 8:09
  It's to It's to literally do the
• 8:10
  comparison in in the ad reads.
• 8:15
  Here's a problem. Strike is too good.
• 8:19
  You see, this was full at the start of
• 8:21
  this week, but my wife keeps stealing
• 8:22
  them. I need the caffeine for tennis,
• 8:24
  she tells me.
• 8:32
  electronic carb. Drink water and eat an
• 8:33
  apple. Buddy. Buddy. I have two kids
• 8:36
  under three. Okay. You think an apple
• 8:39
  and water and and and hydrating is going
• 8:41
  to keep me locked in?
• 8:45
  Come on.
• 8:50
  General consensus. You're exactly right.
• 8:52
  Many workers don't invest in their 401ks
• 8:54
  and take the money early when there's an
• 8:56
  emergency. Here's the problem. Here's
• 8:58
  the 401k conundrum and why it would be a
• 8:59
  disaster to put our funds into social
• 9:02
  security.
• 9:03
  Because what happens, let's say social
• 9:06
  security was invested in the S&P 500.
• 9:09
  What's going to happen? What happens
• 9:11
  when the economy tanks? The value of
• 9:15
  those assets declines sometimes by up to
• 9:18
  50%. But what also happens? More workers
• 9:22
  leave the workforce.
• 9:24
  So, and workers that remain in the
• 9:26
  workforce earn less. So, worker A, he's
• 9:30
  30. He was making $300,000 a year. He
• 9:32
  was paying actually, sorry, he pays the
• 9:34
  same. Um, worker A was making 185K a
• 9:37
  year, paying, you know, uh, let's say,
• 9:40
  let's say $3,000 into social security a
• 9:42
  year.
• 9:45
  Wipeout event in the market. Now, he
• 9:48
  only makes 90K. He's only paying $1,500
• 9:51
  a month or a year into social security.
• 9:55
  Huge problem because over here is worker
• 9:58
  B. Worker B was going to work. She's 60.
• 10:01
  She's 63. She was going to work till 70
• 10:04
  and then draw her social security fat
• 10:06
  check. But she says, "No, I can't. I
• 10:07
  have to draw it today because I just got
• 10:09
  laid off." So now she goes from actually
• 10:12
  putting money into social security,
• 10:13
  flips the script. She's drawing from it.
• 10:16
  You multiply worker a bunch of worker,
• 10:18
  you know, you work with probably 25
• 10:20
  million worker B's and 25 million worker
• 10:23
  A's and you combine that with a
• 10:25
  declining stock market, it would it
• 10:27
  would suck and collapse the social
• 10:30
  security system.
• 10:46
  So that's my my fair.
• 10:49
  Kieran Moose, what's the expiration date
• 10:51
  on the mystery energy drink? Guys, I got
• 10:54
  bad news. I don't think there is an
• 10:55
  expiration date on this thing.
• 10:59
  No. April 25th, 2027.
• 11:09
  Yeah. And both my grandparents worked in
• 11:11
  factories and had a home in cars. Not so
• 11:12
  much today.
• 11:15
  I think there's definitely some truth to
• 11:17
  that. Um,
• 11:22
  yeah, there's definitely some truth to
• 11:24
  that.
• 11:25
  And I think the problem is that the
• 11:27
  economy is split. You can still afford a
• 11:30
  home in a factory in Dayton, Ohio. You
• 11:34
  make 22 bucks an hour at a auto plant.
• 11:39
  You can still buy a a reasonable home in
• 11:40
  Dayton, Ohio. Here's the problem. You're
• 11:42
  in Dayton, Ohio. In most of the zip
• 11:45
  codes, if you look at all the zip codes
• 11:46
  where where most of America's economic
• 11:49
  activity happens, Manhattan, no [ __ ]
• 11:52
  chance, right? The problem is that
• 11:55
  Manhattan, LA, New York, Boston,
• 11:57
  Chicago, in those areas, there's no
• 12:00
  affordable home. There's no affordable
• 12:03
  option. And the workers there have no
• 12:08
  chance. It's a complete runaway
• 12:09
  situation.
• 12:20
  Death to data centers. Yeah. Well, you
• 12:22
  know, we're here to talk about hope,
• 12:23
  too. Howdy from Boulder. Wendle Coxin.
• 12:26
  Listen, vote. By the way, one of the
• 12:29
  things people criticize. I actually
• 12:32
  think that you should take your sample
• 12:33
  ballot. If you're not sure how to vote,
• 12:35
  you should say, "Listen, I'm going to
• 12:36
  give you my sample ballot AI system, and
• 12:38
  I'm going to talk a little bit about my
• 12:40
  values, about the things I think are
• 12:41
  most important, and I want you to help
• 12:43
  me help me choose candidates based on
• 12:46
  that." Listen, any the average person,
• 12:50
  your average voter is voting based on
• 12:52
  three Facebook posts, a Joe Rogan
• 12:54
  podcast, and a a scary ad they saw the
• 12:57
  week prior. That's it.
• 12:59
  So, if you do any research, if you can
• 13:01
  cite any information to back up your
• 13:04
  candidate choices, you're a top 1%.
• 13:06
  You're a top 1% information voter.
• 13:11
  Yeah. Andrew. Andrew Lis. Yeah. I was
• 13:13
  just outside Cleveland. It's not where
• 13:14
  you would choose to be, but it's where
• 13:15
  you can still afford to be. Yeah. And
• 13:16
  that's sort of the problem is that is
• 13:19
  that
• 13:21
  the the growth the bounty of like
• 13:24
  American wealth doesn't favor labor
• 13:28
  excludes bad soup thanks to five. If you
• 13:29
  haven't already head into the pastor and
• 13:31
  certified as Doug Wilson explains a lot
• 13:33
  about his beliefs. Yeah, Doug Wilson
• 13:34
  actually scares me. Like he's a really
• 13:36
  scary dude.
• 13:40
  the fact that he had access to the
• 13:41
  Pentagon, the beliefs he has are just
• 13:44
  abortant.
• 13:52
  Yeah. If you're on Twitter, I strongly
• 13:53
  believe that Elon Musk is probably
• 13:54
  skewing Twitter like heavily, heavily.
• 13:59
  As he did last time, if you start a cold
• 14:02
  account on Twitter, you're going to get
• 14:03
  fed right-wing propaganda.
• 14:10
  SK Tool guy. I'm not going to vote
• 14:11
  because I'm afraid of consequence after
• 14:12
  the election after Trump steals it.
• 14:13
  Listen, listen,
• 14:17
  the
• 14:20
  is the right-wing propaganda machine
• 14:22
  talking. Demoralizing the other side is
• 14:25
  a core strategy. They want to convince
• 14:28
  you that Trump's not going to respect
• 14:29
  the election results. Even my wife has
• 14:31
  said those points. But listen, if
• 14:32
  election if if they were planning on
• 14:34
  canceling the elections or having some
• 14:37
  kind of fake emergency to cancel the the
• 14:39
  midterms,
• 14:41
  they would not Elon wouldn't have spent
• 14:44
  money. Elon spent a quarter billion
• 14:46
  dollars pumping into the election. Why
• 14:49
  would he do that if it was rigged? If
• 14:51
  they were never going to respect the
• 14:52
  results anyway,
• 14:53
  why would Trump have to endorse
• 14:55
  candidates? Why would 80-year-old Trump
• 14:56
  have to go from town to town pleading
• 14:59
  with voters to get out and vote if if
• 15:03
  voting didn't matter? If they were
• 15:04
  planning on just sort of rigging it,
• 15:06
  right? Like Putin doesn't go on the
• 15:07
  campaign trail. Okay?
• 15:12
  Like
• 15:15
  these these Yahoos from the state Duma,
• 15:16
  they don't really run. You know, that
• 15:19
  doesn't really happen in in Putin's
• 15:20
  Russia.
• 15:22
  So listen, vote. You have to vote. It is
• 15:26
  the only the only weapon regular people
• 15:29
  have.
• 15:31
  Elon can spend money all he wants, but
• 15:33
  he can only swipe his credit. He can sp
• 15:36
  swipe his credit card all he wants, but
• 15:37
  he can only cast one vote. Me and Elon
• 15:39
  cast the have the same power to vote.
• 15:51
  JPL, right? A lot of Americans should
• 15:54
  get out. Again,
• 16:01
  listen, Elon is even running candidates
• 16:03
  in my city council. I'm in a Texas
• 16:05
  suburb. He's He will run He's running
• 16:09
  candidates in our city council race.
• 16:12
  That's how much he's committed to owning
• 16:14
  Texas.
• 16:21
  Yeah. JB, I don't believe the elections
• 16:23
  are rigged in the sense in the in the
• 16:27
  sense that Trump has discussed. I think
• 16:29
  that there are large propaganda machines
• 16:31
  that are targeting Americans, not all of
• 16:34
  which are are based here in the United
• 16:35
  States,
• 16:37
  but Americans go to the polls and cast
• 16:39
  votes
• 16:41
  and they decide who runs the country.
• 16:44
  The information that they receive that
• 16:46
  they believe about that those candidates
• 16:48
  is up for debate.
• 16:57
  Midnight grower voting left right does
• 16:59
  nothing for the average American. I
• 17:00
  don't think that's true. I I think that
• 17:03
  is kind of true, right? It's true in a
• 17:04
  sense that like yes, we would love to
• 17:06
  see the world like our country change
• 17:07
  for the better. There's so many policies
• 17:09
  that would make our country better off.
• 17:12
  But if you're not sure, if you can't
• 17:14
  tell the difference between Joe Biden
• 17:16
  and this administration, I don't know
• 17:18
  what to tell you. Like Joe Biden didn't
• 17:20
  have ICE shooting protesters. He didn't
• 17:23
  have ICE murdering moms and then calling
• 17:25
  them terrorists. He didn't, you know,
• 17:27
  Joe Biden's thugs didn't force people
• 17:29
  onto their knees, strip them of their
• 17:31
  weapon, and shoot them in the back of
• 17:32
  the head on [ __ ] camera. That's a
• 17:34
  thing that happened, you might recall.
• 17:37
  And then Christy Nome went on TV and
• 17:38
  said he was a terrorist. [ __ ] Christine
• 17:40
  Gnome. [ __ ] this administration.
• 17:42
  Honestly,
• 17:45
  like if you can't tell the difference
• 17:47
  between Joe Biden being weakwilled and
• 17:50
  sort of mealymouthed about Gaza and
• 17:52
  Trump deploying the entire American
• 17:54
  military to lose in Iran, I don't know
• 17:58
  what to tell you. Like if you can't tell
• 18:01
  the difference between Joe Biden kind of
• 18:02
  being a little weakwilled about
• 18:04
  supporting Ukraine and Trump fully
• 18:07
  endorsing Russian victory, bemoning the
• 18:10
  fact that Russia didn't win,
• 18:15
  I can't I can't be like, "Hey, these are
• 18:18
  the same things. I don't know what to
• 18:19
  tell you."
• 18:26
  Right? Biden pardoned some fraudsters,
• 18:29
  but Biden didn't sell pardons as far as
• 18:31
  I can tell.
• 18:39
  Yeah, the both sides are bad is stupid.
• 18:41
  That's like me being like, "Yeah,
• 18:43
  getting the flu and getting pancreatic
• 18:45
  cancer are both bad." Like, yeah, yes,
• 18:48
  but there's one that is way less bad
• 18:50
  than the other. And like, if you pretend
• 18:54
  they're the same, you're a [ __ ]
• 18:55
  idiot.
• 18:58
  Yeah, poor Joe Biden, man.
• 19:02
  What a [ __ ] up. What a [ __ ] up by the
• 19:04
  American Democratic Party. Just
• 19:05
  everything wrong.
• 19:11
  All right, let's talk about some stuff.
• 19:13
  Let's talk about this plan to to [ __ ]
• 19:15
  Ukraine.
• 19:19
  Let's talk about it.
• 19:23
  All
• 19:28
  right, let me pull this up.
• 19:45
  President Trump, the so-called peace
• 19:46
  president, seems to be deciding for,
• 19:50
  well, the rest of the world what's going
• 19:52
  to happen with Ukraine. And in fact, now
• 19:54
  it sounds like he is not in it alone. In
• 19:56
  fact, the who's who of brutal dictators
• 19:59
  around the world are apparently trying
• 20:02
  to get together and conspire to stick it
• 20:04
  to Ukraine and the EU. And only one
• 20:08
  person seems to be really celebrating
• 20:11
  this one. Take a look. So, this is from
• 20:12
  the Wall Street Journal. Reportedly,
• 20:14
  Russian President Vladimir Putin has
• 20:16
  proposed that he, President Trump, and
• 20:18
  Chinese leader Xiinping meet next month
• 20:20
  to discuss the war in Ukraine. notably
• 20:22
  reached some kind of consensus without
• 20:25
  Ukrainian President Zalinski or without
• 20:27
  any representatives from the EU. You
• 20:29
  might recall that the EU and Europe is
• 20:32
  uh where the conflict is taking place.
• 20:34
  Now, according to people familiar with
• 20:35
  discussions who spoke to the Wall Street
• 20:36
  Journal, a former Russian intelligence
• 20:38
  officer said Putin actually raised it
• 20:40
  initially uh two weeks ago in a phone
• 20:42
  call with Trump. The Kremlin spokesman
• 20:44
  said the discussions are not in place
• 20:46
  saying quote there's no clear
• 20:47
  understanding yet regarding the meeting
• 20:48
  or its potential agenda which is which
• 20:51
  you notice by that statement endorses
• 20:53
  the meeting as something that happens
• 20:55
  that yes this has been discussed but we
• 20:57
  don't have an understanding or agenda
• 20:59
  which is wild and again the white house
• 21:02
  of course pretending this isn't really
• 21:03
  happening because delusion is about all
• 21:06
  the white house has left here. Now the
• 21:09
  wild part uh China indicated it would
• 21:12
  not object if Trump Trump is on board.
• 21:14
  Now this is crazy because one uh I mean
• 21:20
  one you notice that these two guys are
• 21:23
  are are br vicious dictators and are
• 21:25
  enemies of the United States. Like I
• 21:27
  can't make that any more clear. Russia
• 21:29
  is not a friend of the United States. If
• 21:32
  you're wondering how I know that, uh, in
• 21:34
  addition to the fact that Russia paid
• 21:36
  the Taliban for every American soldier
• 21:37
  that was killed in Afghanistan and the
• 21:39
  fact that Russia systematically
• 21:41
  interfered with American elections,
• 21:43
  something that was found by the
• 21:44
  bipartisan Senate report. Uh, and if you
• 21:47
  didn't and if you ignore the fact that
• 21:49
  Russia provided the intelligence to Iran
• 21:51
  as well as the Shahed drones in some
• 21:53
  cases that were used to kill American
• 21:55
  soldiers and target them in the Iran war
• 21:57
  in places like Kuwait. And you ignore
• 22:00
  the fact that Russia hired assassins as
• 22:02
  as early as 3 weeks ago to kill uh
• 22:06
  American citizens and American uh
• 22:09
  individuals granted asylum in America.
• 22:11
  If you ignore all that, Russia still
• 22:12
  isn't a friend because they have still
• 22:14
  been actively trying to sabotage NATO
• 22:17
  and the West. Again, they have
• 22:18
  explicitly said as a matter of doctrine
• 22:21
  that Russia is in an enemy of NATO and
• 22:25
  the Atlanticists is their preferred term
• 22:27
  for it. And if you'd think China isn't
• 22:30
  an adversary of the United States, I I
• 22:31
  don't know what else to tell you. I
• 22:33
  literally cannot give you more. uh China
• 22:36
  I mean as a again as a matter of
• 22:37
  national policy says the United States
• 22:39
  is our chief enemy and destruction of
• 22:42
  the United States is our primary goal.
• 22:44
  This is something that again almost
• 22:46
  everyone across the political spectrum
• 22:47
  agrees. So then you should find it
• 22:50
  suspicious that these three guys want to
• 22:53
  meet and decide what happens to Ukraine.
• 22:55
  Why? Because Ukraine one is a sovereign
• 22:59
  country that gets to decide its own
• 23:01
  fate. two,
• 23:04
  the EU is also a uh major the major
• 23:09
  backer of Ukraine at this point and they
• 23:12
  have some pretty strong feelings about
• 23:14
  this. Now, before we talk about why this
• 23:17
  is so absurd, who's loving it and who's
• 23:19
  hating it, uh I want to mention, of
• 23:21
  course, guys, that if you are tired from
• 23:24
  all the news, I can't raise your morale.
• 23:27
  But what I can do is give you some
• 23:29
  energy to go get after it. Go get out
• 23:31
  and vote. Maybe that's early voting is
• 23:33
  here in the United States. So you could
• 23:35
  go to a gas station and spend five bucks
• 23:36
  on this or you could join the ranks of
• 23:38
  athletes, streamers, Ukrainian drone
• 23:41
  pilots, and more and get your Strike
• 23:42
  Gum. This was a full pack. I literally
• 23:45
  chewed all of it so I could get
• 23:47
  energized because I have a
• 23:48
  three-year-old and a one-year-old and
• 23:50
  it's pretty hard out there. But go to
• 23:52
  strikegum.com, pick some up. By the way,
• 23:54
  guys, if you want a random easy to get
• 23:57
  discount, just go to the meet our
• 23:58
  creators page. We have a bunch of
• 24:00
  veteran streamers who all have their own
• 24:03
  promo codes. You should absolutely use
• 24:04
  them. Some of them are like really,
• 24:06
  really good, and those guys get a cut.
• 24:09
  You're like, "Paul, doesn't that mean
• 24:10
  you make less money?" Yeah, I don't
• 24:11
  really care. Uh, this is this is less of
• 24:14
  a money-making venture for me, and I
• 24:15
  really want to put some money in our
• 24:16
  streamer partners' pockets because,
• 24:18
  well, they're pretty badass. So, go
• 24:21
  check it out. Strike.com. You can also
• 24:24
  pick it up on Amazon.
• 24:26
  So, I want to point out that Trump has
• 24:28
  tweeted. He says, "This is because I
• 24:30
  love peace. I'm just so interested in
• 24:32
  peace." Now, obviously, guys, anyone
• 24:34
  with a brain knows that Russia has at no
• 24:36
  point offered a meaningful peace
• 24:38
  agreement to uh a meaningful pre peace
• 24:41
  framework of any kind. The closest
• 24:43
  they've come is saying that Putin might
• 24:46
  consider starting negotiations if
• 24:48
  Ukraine withdraws from its fortified
• 24:51
  positions in the Donbas, which it seems
• 24:54
  like a trick only a fool would fall for.
• 24:56
  In contrast, Zalinsky has attended every
• 24:58
  single US sponsored peace summit. Uh has
• 25:02
  repeatedly offered um full ceasefires.
• 25:05
  Literally in March of 2025, he said,
• 25:08
  "Listen, we'll do a full ceasefire
• 25:10
  today. Freeze the front lines. shooting
• 25:12
  stops and we enter negotiations. Zinsky
• 25:14
  said, "I'll do it. I'll do it tomorrow."
• 25:15
  Zinsky has offered to step down as
• 25:18
  president if Russia agrees to withdraw
• 25:20
  from Ukraine. Zullinsky has offered a
• 25:22
  Black Sea naval truce. He's offered a
• 25:24
  ceasefire in the air. He's offered to an
• 25:26
  energy ceasefire repeatedly.
• 25:29
  Russia has answered every one of those
• 25:32
  with missiles and drones.
• 25:34
  And so the notion that President Trump
• 25:37
  has that somehow if we're only kinder to
• 25:40
  Russia,
• 25:41
  they will suddenly become peaceful is
• 25:43
  absurd. And nobody really thinks that
• 25:46
  Trump believes this because Trump
• 25:48
  understands, he repeatedly says peace
• 25:50
  through strength, but somehow with
• 25:52
  Russia, he thinks he's going to achieve
• 25:53
  peace through weakness. He doesn't. He's
• 25:54
  pro-Russian. It's very simple. President
• 25:58
  Trump holds a grudge. He has shown
• 25:59
  repeatedly he can't let a grudge go. I
• 26:01
  mean, look, he's tried to prosecute
• 26:03
  James Comey, Leticia James. He tried to
• 26:05
  prosecute James Comey's daughter just
• 26:07
  for existing, just for having the wrong
• 26:09
  dad. Okay, these he's the most petty man
• 26:13
  on earth. And when he called Zalinsky,
• 26:16
  remember in 20 uh 2017 2018, and said,
• 26:19
  "Hey man, I need you to investigate Joe
• 26:21
  Biden's son in order for me to give you
• 26:23
  these missiles." And Zillinsky said,
• 26:25
  "Uh, that sounds kind of illegal, bro."
• 26:27
  He got impeached for it. And so,
• 26:30
  President Trump is never going to
• 26:31
  support Solinsky ever because he's a
• 26:34
  manchild. In contrast, Russia staged a
• 26:38
  massive propaganda effort, hacking into
• 26:41
  Hillary Clinton's servers, right?
• 26:43
  Remember, the Democratic candidate for
• 26:44
  president hacked into her servers,
• 26:46
  released the files, hugely benefiting
• 26:48
  the Trump administration. Uh, staged a
• 26:50
  massive propaganda campaign on social
• 26:51
  media to benefit Trump in the election.
• 26:54
  again, Robert Mueller was uh unable to
• 26:58
  prove collusion mostly because the Trump
• 27:00
  administration obstructed justice on at
• 27:01
  least 10 different occasions.
• 27:04
  And so I point those things out because
• 27:06
  it's fairly obvious Trump doesn't People
• 27:08
  look for like a smoking gun or some kind
• 27:10
  of secret relationship like like bro,
• 27:12
  it's not a secret. Trump
• 27:16
  couldn't extract meaningful benefits
• 27:18
  from Zalinsky and could extract
• 27:20
  meaningful benefits from Putin and
• 27:21
  that's all there is to it. There's a
• 27:23
  reason why the Russians pay for his
• 27:24
  son's wedding, right? It is not because
• 27:27
  his son speaks Russian or loves vodka.
• 27:31
  It's because Trump repeatedly has hooked
• 27:33
  up the Ukrainian the the Russians
• 27:35
  massively by screwing the Ukrainians.
• 27:38
  I mean, look, Trump dropped aid to
• 27:40
  Ukraine from about roughly 60 to hundred
• 27:44
  billion a year. That's approximately 6%
• 27:47
  of the US defense budget. Dropped it
• 27:49
  down to zero. zero.
• 27:52
  And it's pretty absurd, but you can see,
• 27:55
  you know, who's has a different
• 27:57
  interpretation of this is Carl Deitriv.
• 27:59
  Remember, Carroll Demetri is a is
• 28:00
  Putin's right-hand man. He is ostensibly
• 28:04
  the CEO of the Russian direct investment
• 28:06
  fund. This is the Russian state
• 28:09
  sovereign wealth fund. Um, he also calls
• 28:11
  himself the special envoy to the
• 28:13
  president of Russia for investment and
• 28:14
  economic cooperation, right? And
• 28:18
  Dimmitri of course has been basically
• 28:20
  functionally Trump's ambassador to or
• 28:22
  Putin's ambassador to the Trump
• 28:23
  administration and he has tweeted out
• 28:26
  this a few days ago. Things have
• 28:29
  changed. A tweet from Zero Head with an
• 28:31
  AI generated image depicting Russia and
• 28:33
  the United States uh attacking Europe
• 28:36
  and the UK.
• 28:40
  That doesn't seem like something that a
• 28:42
  peace president would say. That doesn't
• 28:44
  seem like something that someone who's
• 28:45
  on the brink of peace would do. And
• 28:48
  that's what I find so fascinating. You
• 28:50
  can see in the comments, this was of
• 28:52
  course um just a few days ago. It looks
• 28:54
  like Yandex just got back online. You
• 28:56
  can see stuff we haven't seen in a long
• 28:58
  time. Actually, QAnon,
• 29:00
  right?
• 29:02
  But there's just joke after joke after
• 29:04
  joke after joke comment, right, about
• 29:07
  what a piece of [ __ ] he is. But you can
• 29:08
  see here, this is clearly Russia's
• 29:11
  interpretation of events.
• 29:14
  They're literally just dropping the
• 29:15
  mask. They're not saying, "Hey man,
• 29:18
  Trump is a neutral broker in this
• 29:19
  conflict. He doesn't really have a
• 29:20
  side." The Russians are saying Trump has
• 29:22
  a side. It's ours. Full stop.
• 29:26
  Now, I want to point out is that Marco
• 29:30
  Rubio, as we've talked about, basically
• 29:33
  US intelligence is no longer telling the
• 29:35
  Ukrainians when ballistic missiles are
• 29:36
  coming in, allowing Russia to slaughter
• 29:38
  civilians on a whole scale level. Uh
• 29:40
  remember, because when you combine the
• 29:42
  fact that Ukraine's interceptors have
• 29:44
  been grounded by Elon Musk crippling
• 29:46
  Starlink, and the US provides no
• 29:49
  notification at all now to incoming
• 29:51
  ballistic missile strikes, um the
• 29:53
  Ukrainians have no defenses. Kev is just
• 29:55
  getting flattened and the the Russians
• 29:58
  of course are targeting Ukrainian energy
• 29:59
  infrastructure, but they also, for
• 30:01
  example, targeted a park yesterday. They
• 30:02
  killed a three-year-old. Um, you know,
• 30:06
  not not the same age as as as my
• 30:08
  daughter. And
• 30:13
  when confronted about it, Marco Rubio
• 30:15
  does the same thing that every ship in
• 30:17
  the Trump administration does. They
• 30:19
  pretend like they don't know. When asked
• 30:22
  about it,
• 30:25
  uh, Marco Rubio said, "I don't know.
• 30:28
  I don't know. I mean, did it happen last
• 30:30
  night?" I don't know exactly. Bear in
• 30:32
  mind, guys, Marco Rubio is the um is the
• 30:36
  uh national security adviser and
• 30:38
  secretary of state. So, I I don't know
• 30:41
  what to tell you guys. If a YouTuber
• 30:44
  knows about it, uh the Secretary of
• 30:46
  State probably should. But he does know.
• 30:47
  He does know. He's lying. He's lying
• 30:50
  because it's his job to know right away.
• 30:53
  And Marco Rubio has always demonstrated
• 30:56
  that he is someone who reads. He's
• 30:58
  someone who consumes the information. So
• 30:59
  he knows. But he it is so abhorentt. It
• 31:02
  is so disgusting. It is so at odds with
• 31:04
  not just American values, but literally
• 31:06
  what Americans actually believe that
• 31:09
  that he his only defense is to pretend
• 31:11
  like he doesn't know. And we saw this
• 31:14
  yesterday. We saw this with JD Vance
• 31:16
  when a grieving husband asked, "Hey man,
• 31:20
  my wife died in Kuwait from a drone
• 31:22
  strike, from a Iranian drone strike.
• 31:24
  What happened? How come you sent her
• 31:25
  there with no defenses, no preparation,
• 31:28
  no medical facilities? They had to drive
• 31:30
  them in vans to a Kuwaiti hospital that
• 31:33
  they found on Google Maps." And you know
• 31:35
  what JD Vance said? I don't know. This
• 31:37
  is the first time I've heard about it.
• 31:39
  It's not the first time. American
• 31:41
  soldiers died and there's no [ __ ] way
• 31:44
  the vice president didn't know about it.
• 31:45
  But that's the only defense these people
• 31:47
  have is to pretend it's not really
• 31:50
  happening.
• 31:51
  And just like your friend who pretends
• 31:54
  that his girlfriend isn't cheating on
• 31:55
  him, you can only sit in that state of
• 31:57
  delusion for so long.
• 32:01
  And at some point reality is going to
• 32:04
  come. At just like at some point that
• 32:07
  dude's going to come home and his
• 32:08
  girlfriend's stuff is going to be
• 32:09
  cleaned out of his apartment. At some
• 32:11
  point, hopefully in this election, this
• 32:14
  midterms, these guys are going to have
• 32:16
  to pay up. They're going, it's going to
• 32:17
  come due. They're going to say, "Listen,
• 32:18
  you knew this was happening. You knew
• 32:20
  that Trump was supporting the Russians."
• 32:23
  And you could see the Russians in their
• 32:25
  commitment to peace are now attempting
• 32:27
  to uh destroy all water supply in Kev,
• 32:31
  destroy its heat and power plants
• 32:33
  generating electricity.
• 32:35
  Obviously, the actions of a of a of a
• 32:38
  country just on the cusp of peace. Now,
• 32:41
  listen, I I I I laugh about this, but
• 32:43
  this is all old hat. Here's what I want
• 32:46
  to point out that there there's a
• 32:47
  fundamental broken pre premise here and
• 32:50
  this is the idea of this triumphirate
• 32:52
  this this big three right now if you had
• 32:55
  talked in
• 32:58
  the uh post world war II in 1950 these
• 33:02
  would be considered the big three
• 33:04
  countries. Why? Because after World War
• 33:06
  II, these were basically the only in
• 33:10
  1950 or so, these were basically the
• 33:11
  handful of countries that were quasi
• 33:15
  intact, quasi economically powerful, I
• 33:17
  should say, following the war. The
• 33:20
  Russians and the Americans both had
• 33:22
  nuclear weapons. Russia, remember, at
• 33:24
  the time was the Soviet Union. So
• 33:25
  basically, it included the entirety of
• 33:27
  Eastern Europe in kind of its economic
• 33:29
  area. So these were two countries with
• 33:31
  hugely powerful um development countries
• 33:35
  with huge populations, huge economies,
• 33:38
  huge access to resources. The Russia of
• 33:40
  today is not that country, right? And
• 33:42
  obviously Xiinping's China, the second
• 33:44
  largest economy in the world today,
• 33:46
  would have been also back then too. And
• 33:48
  so I point these things out because you
• 33:52
  may sit there and say, "Well, of course
• 33:53
  these countries are the global
• 33:54
  superpowers." But here's a here's a
• 33:56
  thought. They're not. Because what's the
• 33:59
  metric for letting Russia into
• 34:01
  superpower status? Does it is it because
• 34:04
  it has the world's largest economy?
• 34:07
  Well, it doesn't. In fact, when you list
• 34:10
  of countries by GDP,
• 34:13
  uh, and you use, you know, nominally,
• 34:14
  you actually find that the big three in
• 34:16
  the world are United States, China,
• 34:18
  Germany. The big four are US, Germany,
• 34:20
  Japan. The big five US, China, Germany,
• 34:22
  Japan, the UK, then India, then France.
• 34:25
  Russia is the eighth largest economy.
• 34:28
  You may say to yourself, well, Russia
• 34:29
  has nuclear weapons. But I point out
• 34:31
  that United States has nuclear weapons,
• 34:33
  China has nuclear weapons, the United
• 34:35
  Kingdom has nuclear weapons, India has
• 34:37
  nuclear weapons, France has its own
• 34:39
  separate from the UK nuclear weapons,
• 34:41
  and Russia has nuclear weapons. So it's
• 34:42
  not about nuclear power. Maybe it's
• 34:44
  about military spending. But again, I
• 34:46
  point out that India has a huge military
• 34:49
  meant to deter China. France maintains a
• 34:52
  incredibly robust military capabil
• 34:53
  conventional military capability.
• 34:55
  Japan's self-defense forces are growing
• 34:56
  in size and capability. So again, it's
• 34:59
  not about military capability.
• 35:01
  So then why do you think Russia warrants
• 35:05
  consideration in here? Why is Russia one
• 35:07
  of the big three that get to do
• 35:09
  deciding? And it's because
• 35:12
  that if you assume
• 35:15
  if you look at countries, the largest
• 35:16
  economies in the world that don't have
• 35:19
  elections, you all of a sudden see, oh,
• 35:23
  they're the three countries that don't
• 35:24
  believe in democracy. Trump and the
• 35:26
  United States, who again maintains that
• 35:28
  the 2020 election didn't was fraudulent
• 35:30
  and fake and that we don't live in a
• 35:31
  democracy despite him urging people to
• 35:33
  vote for some reason. You have China,
• 35:36
  which obviously is a one party
• 35:38
  dictatorship.
• 35:40
  democracy, Germany, Japan democracy, UK
• 35:42
  democracy, India democracy, France
• 35:44
  democracy, Russia, a dictatorship. So
• 35:46
  what you have is three people who are
• 35:49
  functionally dictators
• 35:52
  and
• 35:54
  or aspire to be and they think they
• 35:57
  should decide for democracies how their
• 35:59
  country should be run. Again, this is
• 36:02
  comical, absurd, ridiculous,
• 36:05
  but it reflects something about Trump's
• 36:06
  thinking is that one, he is frozen in
• 36:08
  the past in the the geopolitics of the
• 36:11
  past. And in the geopolitics of the
• 36:12
  past, Europe was a I mean, I'm talking
• 36:14
  about when he was born, right? Remember,
• 36:16
  he's 80 years old, guys. He died. He he
• 36:20
  he avoided serving in like five
• 36:24
  different wars. But when he was a kid,
• 36:28
  Europe was a non-factor. its economy was
• 36:31
  slowly rebuilding after the second world
• 36:33
  war
• 36:36
  and they were just a non-fac they were
• 36:38
  so much less of a factor in politics in
• 36:41
  geopolitics that's just not the case now
• 36:44
  again as we've seen they are huge armies
• 36:45
  techn they are huge countries
• 36:47
  technologically capable
• 36:50
  Russia is is purports itself to be
• 36:54
  powerful because of its aggression its
• 36:55
  willingness to use its military to
• 36:58
  aggress after enemies.
• 37:01
  But that isn't a testament to power.
• 37:05
  That's a testament to its weakness.
• 37:07
  Like Japan, Germany, India, these are
• 37:10
  countries that don't need to annex their
• 37:12
  neighbors to attain economic growth.
• 37:14
  They get economic growth by investing
• 37:17
  inside their own countries. China's the
• 37:18
  same way. China China's power doesn't
• 37:22
  come from conquering other countries
• 37:23
  like Russia needs it to. China's power
• 37:26
  comes from a thriving economy, a growing
• 37:29
  a a a massive community of educated
• 37:32
  Chinese, right? A huge manufacturing
• 37:35
  base. Russia doesn't have any of that.
• 37:38
  Russia is a gas station,
• 37:41
  a gas station with a bloodthirsty
• 37:42
  dictator at the head. And so you have to
• 37:45
  ask yourself, why does Russia deserve
• 37:46
  the authority to make these kind of
• 37:48
  decisions about the world? Why is Trump
• 37:49
  granting that to Russia? And the answer
• 37:51
  is fairly obvious. Because President
• 37:53
  Trump is a transactional guy, Russia
• 37:56
  probably has made clear to him and to
• 37:58
  Steve Wickoff and Jared Kushner that
• 37:59
  there is massive amounts of payout to to
• 38:01
  come if he's willing to serve them up
• 38:04
  Ukraine on a silver platter. Anyway, hit
• 38:05
  subscribe guys. YouTube's unsubscribing
• 38:07
  people from the channel. Huge thank you
• 38:08
  to Colin, Dan, Deborah, Don, Douglas,
• 38:10
  Gabriel, GMAT, James, as well as
• 38:11
  everybody in the lieutenant here. We
• 38:13
  really appreciate you guys and go out
• 38:16
  and vote.
• 38:22
  Yeah. Yeah. I It's hard to argue that
• 38:26
  what you're seeing is not treasonous.
• 38:29
  Ace Cams, what do you think will be the
• 38:30
  first to backstab the administration to
• 38:31
  save their tails in the midterm,
• 38:32
  especially when subpoenas are being
• 38:33
  called left and right? It's going to be
• 38:35
  JD Vance. JD Vance is a chameleon. JD
• 38:37
  Vance or Marco Rubio.
• 38:40
  They're they're they're going to say
• 38:41
  they're going to be have always been
• 38:42
  against this. They never they never
• 38:44
  agreed to this. that that's that those
• 38:46
  are the two those are the two people who
• 38:48
  have demonstrated a repeated consistent
• 38:50
  ability um
• 38:53
  to to just be worms.
• 39:10
  Yeah.
• 39:16
  Correction in the title, Mark Nichols.
• 39:18
  They don't just plan to screw Ukraine.
• 39:19
  They're going to screw everyone. He the
• 39:21
  profits themselves. That's true. That's
• 39:23
  true. Like the average Russian is not
• 39:25
  going to see the benefits from ending
• 39:26
  this war. The average Russian is in way
• 39:27
  worse shape. In fact, in fact, given
• 39:31
  that the momentum has shifted in favor
• 39:33
  of Ukraine, uh you could argue that
• 39:36
  actually the US is prolonging the
• 39:38
  suffering of the Russian people in
• 39:40
  addition to the Ukrainian people by not
• 39:42
  decisively providing the Ukraine the
• 39:44
  tools it needs to achieve actual
• 39:45
  victory. Millifi Paul, we just got a
• 39:48
  thousand contract from the Ryan Mc for
• 39:50
  the Ryan McBth project. Want to send you
• 39:52
  a little UA. Thanks for all the help
• 39:53
  over the last two years. Love you. What
• 39:55
  is the Ryan McBTH project? from a
• 39:58
  contract for the Ryan McBTH project.
• 40:04
  I appreciate it. I I really do. But I I
• 40:07
  don't know what the Ryan McBTH project
• 40:09
  is.
• 40:20
  >> Yeah. I'm I'm
• 40:22
  so curious.
• 40:30
  Yeah, if anybody knows uh
• 40:38
  Sergeant Gary, thanks for the 25 bra
• 40:40
  about the Gulf States laser weapons
• 40:41
  mount on IFS. How do they perform
• 40:43
  against Iranian drones? I have not heard
• 40:45
  anything about a laser weapon shooting
• 40:46
  down a drone. I have literally never
• 40:47
  heard about it.
• 41:13
  Uh, let's see.
• 41:16
  Millolt.
• 41:20
  I I still don't know. I I looked it up.
• 41:21
  I couldn't find anything about what the
• 41:23
  Ryan McBTH project is.
• 41:30
  Yeah, I know who Ryan McBth is. I just
• 41:32
  don't know how you got a contract for
• 41:34
  the project. I'm I'm I'm looking it up.
• 41:43
  I see some stuff about Ryan talking
• 41:44
  about project 2025.
• 42:11
  Yeah. I mean I mean Ryan McBth is is is
• 42:13
  definitely a Mara puppet. He he signed a
• 42:15
  big contract with Newsmax. So Newsmax
• 42:18
  pays his salary and Newsmax is a
• 42:19
  proTrump outlet.
• 42:21
  He chose to make money.
• 42:25
  Yeah. Yeah. And now he doesn't talk
• 42:26
  about Ukraine because it would have it
• 42:28
  would force him to to acknowledge
• 42:30
  something that MAGA just can't afford to
• 42:33
  have it be true, which is that um
• 42:36
  they're pro-Russian.
• 42:40
  Still Still not sure what the Ryan McBTH
• 42:42
  project is.
• 42:59
  Yeah, I I think a lot of guys end up
• 43:00
  trying to get put on to
• 43:05
  Yeah, I there's a reason why I I don't
• 43:09
  do like I do so few collabs. It's
• 43:12
  because sometimes people that reach out
• 43:14
  and want to collab, they want access to
• 43:17
  the channel and the audience and they
• 43:19
  want to be able to spew their
• 43:20
  propaganda, their particular brand of
• 43:21
  propaganda to to the audience, right?
• 43:24
  Um, and like I'm just not interested in
• 43:27
  hosting propagandists. Uh, two, a lot of
• 43:32
  times guys want you to get dependent on
• 43:33
  their money. So if you know because as a
• 43:36
  YouTuber your income can be really
• 43:38
  variable. And um, my response to this is
• 43:42
  is to like manage I mean one having a
• 43:47
  hiring spouse is the most important
• 43:50
  thing probably. Um but
• 43:53
  the but also like we live an extremely
• 43:56
  middle class lifestyle and um that means
• 44:00
  that you know my salary is effectively
• 44:02
  like a bonus. It can go up, it can go
• 44:04
  down. We don't really worry about it. Um
• 44:07
  but that gives me freedom. It gives me
• 44:09
  freedom to say things that will lose me
• 44:11
  sponsors. It gives me freedom that when
• 44:13
  somebody offers to to have me come on as
• 44:16
  a paid commentator, I can go tell them
• 44:18
  where to shove their paid commentator
• 44:20
  ideas, right? Their goal is to get you
• 44:22
  dependent on them as a monthly salary,
• 44:24
  right? You'd be surprised how many
• 44:26
  creators will be like, "Oh, if you
• 44:27
  guarantee me five grand a month for
• 44:29
  three years, I'll say whatever you
• 44:30
  [ __ ] want." You know?
• 44:34
  And again, I I don't know Ryan McBth
• 44:36
  personally, so I'm not going to say
• 44:37
  whether that was him or not, but
• 44:41
  um
• 44:43
  but I know that's the case for a lot of
• 44:45
  YouTubers. Like, there's a reason why
• 44:47
  Tenant Media was able to to to get so
• 44:49
  many YouTubers to sign on with them,
• 44:52
  so-called big YouTubers, and it's
• 44:53
  because they have lifestyles that um
• 44:58
  depend on and staff, by the way, and
• 45:00
  staff. Like like there's a reason I
• 45:02
  don't have I have one full-time guy and
• 45:04
  it's because keeping the staff lean like
• 45:07
  I can tight again I can tighten my belt
• 45:09
  but if I promise I'm going to pay you
• 45:11
  100 grand a year I I have to find that
• 45:13
  100 grand every year or else I'm or else
• 45:15
  I'm I'm [ __ ] right and that means that
• 45:17
  again when someone like Newsmax or Fox
• 45:19
  News comes knocking and says listen we
• 45:21
  want to make you a commentator but you
• 45:22
  know you got to make sure you're on
• 45:23
  message um those guys get on message
• 45:27
  because they have to cover
• 46:00
  Yeah.
• 46:05
  Andrew Riner. Yeah. Yeah. I sell Strike
• 46:07
  Gum because one, uh, it's easy because
• 46:09
  you're like, "Oh, does Paul use the
• 46:11
  product?" You literally watch me use the
• 46:12
  product. You're like, "Do I know it's
• 46:14
  not a scam or illegitimate or unsafe?"
• 46:17
  Yeah, I know it because I I'm the owner
• 46:19
  of the company. I know the facility it's
• 46:21
  manufactured in. I like, you know, it's
• 46:24
  it's in Denver. Um,
• 46:28
  I could I I it's a product that I know
• 46:30
  and trust and use and it's so easy for
• 46:32
  me to endorse. And even better, you
• 46:35
  know, we don't have like mega creator
• 46:37
  partnerships, but we try really hard to
• 46:39
  be really good sponsors and stewards
• 46:42
  with our creators. like our small
• 46:45
  creators, we try to work, we try to do
• 46:47
  really really right by them.
• 46:57
  All right,
• 47:02
  Cosmic. Yeah, if you're sensitive to
• 47:04
  caffeine, strike them. It's just not for
• 47:05
  you, man.
• 47:07
  Okay,
• 47:10
  free Canadian hugs. Thank you. I I think
• 47:12
  it's a great product.
• 47:16
  All right.
• 47:29
  After two years of watching President
• 47:31
  Trump and his oligarch buddies uh run
• 47:34
  the country and pretend to not be in the
• 47:36
  Epstein files, well, it's finally time.
• 47:39
  Americans are ramping up to go to vote
• 47:42
  in the midterms. But of course, as you
• 47:45
  can imagine, uh it's basically panic
• 47:47
  mode for the White House because
• 47:49
  literally this looks to be like possibly
• 47:53
  one of the worst midterms uh for a
• 47:55
  Republican ever in history. But that
• 47:58
  doesn't mean that every other horrible
• 48:00
  jerk in the country isn't rolling out
• 48:03
  the red carpet to try to make things
• 48:04
  right. Let's talk about it. So, the
• 48:08
  fraudster extraordinary Elon Musk uh has
• 48:11
  of course uh taken time away from
• 48:14
  designing his completely
• 48:16
  non-mass-proucable
• 48:18
  uh fake car
• 48:20
  uh fake flying car in order to buy the
• 48:22
  2016 2026 midterms. In fact, the world's
• 48:25
  richest man has spent what we know of at
• 48:27
  least 366 million so far saying quote
• 48:30
  Democrats must lose. Republicans of
• 48:33
  course look like they're going to get
• 48:34
  absolutely butchered in the midterms and
• 48:36
  uh Elon has of course bankrolled huge I
• 48:39
  mean he's the largest known political
• 48:41
  donor in the world um certainly in the
• 48:44
  United States and this is notable
• 48:47
  because he's basically running the same
• 48:48
  playbook uh the 300 million that he
• 48:52
  spent in 2024 to elect Donald Trump that
• 48:54
  of course when you spend that much
• 48:56
  apparently you're allowed to enter
• 48:57
  government and just delete agencies you
• 48:59
  don't like. Um, apparently that's a
• 49:01
  thing he did. Now, of course, being Elon
• 49:03
  and being a fraudster, um, he actually
• 49:07
  believed that there was widespread fraud
• 49:09
  and that he was totally going to root it
• 49:10
  out, guys, except for the fact that he
• 49:12
  didn't. And it turned out there wasn't
• 49:13
  that much fraud. And the government is
• 49:15
  actually kind of wellrun, if a little
• 49:17
  goofy. Whoops.
• 49:19
  And so, of course, he's going to try to
• 49:22
  do it again, buying more uh ability to
• 49:25
  ingratiate himself. I mean, the insane
• 49:27
  part, by the way, is worth noting that
• 49:28
  Elon Musk, when he and Trump had a
• 49:31
  falling out, uh, he tweeted out,
• 49:32
  "Listen, Trump's in the Epstein files,
• 49:34
  guys." And to to his credit, Elon Musk
• 49:36
  was completely right. Trump was all over
• 49:37
  the Epstein files. Again, there was an
• 49:39
  email that said that Trump had by the
• 49:40
  FBI that said Trump flew in in Epstein's
• 49:44
  jet multiple times. Um, and then this
• 49:47
  insane part is it turned out Elon was
• 49:48
  also in the Epstein files begging
• 49:50
  Epstein to be go to one of his epic
• 49:52
  parties. Epic bacon, bro. Those girls
• 49:55
  didn't consent to be there. Haha. Of
• 49:58
  course, Elon didn't get the memo. Uh,
• 50:00
  never mind. I can't tell that joke.
• 50:01
  He'll get demonetized. It's fine. But
• 50:05
  the point is is that every dirt bag, you
• 50:09
  know, is trying their absolute best,
• 50:11
  including, by the way, a huge donation
• 50:15
  to
• 50:16
  Ken Paxton, who is, of course, the
• 50:20
  the Republican candidate for Senate, who
• 50:22
  is easily one of the most corrupt
• 50:24
  individuals in politics today. And
• 50:26
  that's saying something. Um, Ken Paxton
• 50:28
  literally found to have just committed
• 50:30
  an array of theft, uh, sexual assaults,
• 50:35
  uh, including selling, uh, basically
• 50:38
  letting criminals get away with it, uh,
• 50:40
  in exchange for money, uh, real estate
• 50:43
  developers committing crimes. I mean,
• 50:44
  just it's it's eye watering. Um, the
• 50:47
  amount of corruption of Ken Paxton. Uh,
• 50:48
  literally he got there was video of him
• 50:50
  that was released this week of him
• 50:51
  partying in Dubai next to two men on the
• 50:54
  FBI most wanted list like high-fiving
• 50:56
  them. Uh, so that's the kind of guy Ken
• 50:59
  Paxton is. But Elon Musk happy to spend
• 51:01
  money on it. Also worth noting is that I
• 51:03
  actually live not too far away from
• 51:05
  Elon's facilities. And in our city
• 51:07
  council elections, Elon is backing has
• 51:10
  put up actually a SpaceX employee to
• 51:12
  run. That is the level the the depth of
• 51:15
  the the insidiousness of Elon's efforts
• 51:18
  to not just corrupt the highest levels
• 51:21
  of government, but also to dozege your
• 51:24
  own city. Like, what the [ __ ] is going
• 51:26
  to happen if Elon has spots on our city
• 51:28
  council? Like, good luck. Rest in peace
• 51:31
  to our public schools.
• 51:33
  Here's the problem, though, is that
• 51:37
  America still a democracy, believe it or
• 51:40
  not.
• 51:41
  That's why I wanted to mention guys that
• 51:43
  of course early voting has started in
• 51:45
  almost every state. So if you haven't
• 51:48
  gone in and voted, you should. And it
• 51:50
  matters in every single state.
• 51:54
  Even if you are in a super red state, it
• 51:56
  is important to go out there, cast your
• 51:59
  vote because it tells rep Republicans
• 52:02
  even in safe districts should feel fear.
• 52:04
  They should feel loss. they should
• 52:07
  understand that that
• 52:10
  when they endorse MAGA's decisions, when
• 52:13
  they endorse this kind of of governance,
• 52:16
  um, every one of them should experience
• 52:18
  panic. And so, even if you are in a deep
• 52:21
  red state or a deep blue state, you have
• 52:23
  an opportunity to really stick to these
• 52:24
  guys. And again,
• 52:27
  early voting is is absolutely in place
• 52:30
  in basically I I think almost every
• 52:33
  district uh every district that has it.
• 52:35
  Of course, good old Alabama says no, you
• 52:37
  got to vote day of, which is classic
• 52:39
  Alabama.
• 52:40
  But again, look it up. Even if you don't
• 52:44
  know every single ballot measure, every
• 52:47
  single city council position, every
• 52:48
  judge, local judge running for
• 52:50
  re-election, that's okay. You can cast a
• 52:52
  ballot and place one vote, right? You
• 52:55
  can cast a ballot and vote for two
• 52:56
  things and then turn it in. You're
• 52:58
  allowed to do that. There's no law that
• 52:59
  says you have to fill out a ballot,
• 53:01
  right? So, how bad is this looking for
• 53:05
  the Republicans? Uh, I would describe it
• 53:07
  as again a generational disaster. Okay,
• 53:10
  this is which party will win the House
• 53:11
  in 2026. Bear in mind, guys, if you're
• 53:13
  in the United States, understand that
• 53:15
  the entire House is up for election
• 53:16
  every two years. It is meant to be a a
• 53:19
  legislative body that is extremely
• 53:21
  responsive to the people's will and so
• 53:24
  every seat is up for re-election. Now
• 53:26
  almost nobody it also is skews very
• 53:29
  populist i.e. it is aortioned mostly by
• 53:32
  population. So it unlike the Senate
• 53:35
  which is just one per state and there's
• 53:36
  a lot more sort of low population red
• 53:39
  states than there are high population
• 53:41
  blue states. This reflects more mostly
• 53:44
  most reflects the will of the American
• 53:46
  people. And as you can see at the
• 53:47
  absolute peak, the Democrats only had a
• 53:49
  60/40 chance of even winning the House
• 53:52
  in 2026. And you can see that basically
• 53:56
  that as the
• 53:59
  as Trump sort of became more and more
• 54:01
  unhinged in his governance um and the
• 54:03
  Republican party became more and more uh
• 54:06
  [ __ ] crazy, the odds of a Republican
• 54:09
  victory got worse and worse and worse
• 54:11
  and worse. In fact, you can see that
• 54:13
  right around here in February is where
• 54:15
  the Iran war started. And you can see
• 54:18
  what happened. Basically, it became a it
• 54:21
  went from a 60/40 to nearly a 9010. But
• 54:24
  then, insanely enough, right? You can
• 54:26
  see literally the Iran peace deal
• 54:27
  lowered gas prices and then we realize
• 54:30
  that Trump actually can't negotiate a
• 54:31
  peace deal to save his life. And now the
• 54:33
  odds are unironically
• 54:35
  92-10.
• 54:38
  It doesn't even make mathematical sense,
• 54:41
  right? They probably mean like 92 to9 or
• 54:44
  something, but I point this out. The
• 54:46
  odds of a Democratic controlled house,
• 54:49
  92%. I want you to understand how
• 54:52
  unreal, insane that is. That is a
• 54:55
  generational loss. I I I don't know what
• 54:57
  else to tell you, but here's where
• 54:58
  things get even crazier. Okay, which
• 55:01
  party will win the Senate? And you can
• 55:03
  see again that at one point the
• 55:07
  Republicans had a 75% odds of taking the
• 55:10
  Senate. 75% chance of controlling the
• 55:13
  American Senate, which already skews
• 55:15
  Republican. And you can see that
• 55:17
  basically when the war started, it
• 55:18
  destroyed the Senate race, turning it
• 55:20
  into a 50-50 split. And then what
• 55:22
  happened? Well, can doing such popular
• 55:26
  moves as supporting Russia and uh
• 55:30
  kicking Ukraine in the dick has
• 55:32
  annihilated the Republican chances. Now
• 55:34
  the Democrats have a 65% chance of
• 55:37
  winning the Senate. Guys, I want you to
• 55:38
  understand how insane that is. A a it
• 55:42
  went from literally at its highest
• 55:44
  point, the Democratic party had a 25%
• 55:46
  chance of taking the Senate to a 65%
• 55:48
  chance of taking the Senate. This is
• 55:50
  unreal. But it hinges on one very
• 55:54
  important thing, which is you have to go
• 55:57
  out and vote. You have to show up. You
• 56:00
  have to cast your ballot. Even if you
• 56:02
  say, "Oh, we're not in a competitive
• 56:04
  state." It doesn't matter
• 56:08
  because again,
• 56:10
  it matters. Elon Musk believes this
• 56:12
  stuff matters. He doesn't Elon doesn't
• 56:14
  spend money. He doesn't have to, right?
• 56:19
  and
• 56:21
  he and the Republican party, like
• 56:24
  they're pulling out all of the the worst
• 56:27
  tricks on planet Earth. Um, resorting to
• 56:30
  just blatant lies. Again, in the Texas
• 56:32
  Senate campaign, there was just a a
• 56:34
  total lie. Somebody made an AI generated
• 56:36
  phone call pretending to say that the
• 56:38
  James Tico, the Democratic candidate for
• 56:40
  Senate, was in was in a mental hospital.
• 56:43
  Totally fake. Republicans made ads about
• 56:46
  it. Again, I have I in my literal local
• 56:49
  city council race, there are fake texts
• 56:52
  being sent by the Republican candidates
• 56:54
  to lie saying that the Democratic
• 56:57
  candidate is a Republican candidate.
• 56:58
  It's I have never seen anything like
• 57:01
  this. Um the level of misinformation,
• 57:04
  the level of disinformation, the only
• 57:06
  question is
• 57:08
  like is this level of of like is it
• 57:12
  going to backfire? It should because
• 57:14
  again ultimately no amount of propaganda
• 57:16
  texts should change the fact that this
• 57:19
  administration had ICE agents again
• 57:21
  execute protesters in the street force a
• 57:25
  man with a a legal concealed carry
• 57:26
  permit force him onto his knees, strip
• 57:28
  him of his weapon, shot him in the back
• 57:29
  of the head, murdered him. And then the
• 57:31
  administration launched no
• 57:33
  investigation. They said good. They said
• 57:35
  good. That man was a terrorist. We've
• 57:37
  declared this protester a terrorist
• 57:38
  retroactively.
• 57:42
  obviously losing the Iran war, uh,
• 57:47
  giving no [ __ ] about hitting a girl
• 57:50
  school, asking no questions about it,
• 57:52
  about why it happened or what what could
• 57:53
  have been done, why why we killed all
• 57:55
  those kids. Nobody really, the
• 57:57
  administration doesn't really care why
• 57:59
  we killed, why why 13 soldiers died. Why
• 58:01
  on earth Russia, who provided the
• 58:03
  intelligence that allowed Iran to kill
• 58:05
  those soldiers that were in an
• 58:07
  undefended
• 58:09
  building in the middle of Kuwait, uh,
• 58:12
  Russia gets a high five. Russia gets
• 58:14
  jerked off by the president. And maybe
• 58:18
  maybe Russia would if the Russia really
• 58:20
  wanted to get the the some concessions
• 58:22
  from the United States, maybe they
• 58:24
  should just feed him more US troops.
• 58:25
  Hey, Russia should kill more soldiers.
• 58:26
  Who the [ __ ] knows?
• 58:29
  Like
• 58:30
  again,
• 58:33
  the the biggest argument against this
• 58:35
  administration is that they're going to
• 58:37
  basically the only issue they possibly
• 58:38
  have that maybe they think people care
• 58:40
  about is transgender stuff. That's the
• 58:42
  only thing they have.
• 58:44
  But ultimately, guys, like I haven't
• 58:48
  seen a trans person. I'm not exactly
• 58:51
  checking.
• 58:52
  But you know what I have seen? I've seen
• 58:54
  some really expensive gas lately, okay?
• 58:58
  So, I don't really care. Like, it's a
• 59:01
  free country, so people should be able
• 59:02
  to do anything they want within like as
• 59:05
  long as they're not hurting anyone.
• 59:07
  And so so like that people think they're
• 59:10
  going to sell out their country, turn it
• 59:11
  into a Russian puppet state, uh have
• 59:13
  high gas prices, uh annihilate social
• 59:16
  security, but the federal government is
• 59:19
  going to make sure they're going to
• 59:20
  check your wee, make sure you have the
• 59:22
  right weew wee for your sport. All
• 59:24
  right? So So have your kids like drop
• 59:28
  trow and [ __ ] let the government test
• 59:30
  them or whatever whatever whatever their
• 59:32
  [ __ ] halfbaked scheme is. It's it's
• 59:35
  the whole thing is absurd. But I think
• 59:38
  you should definitely vote
• 59:40
  because these people are ghouls and uh
• 59:44
  they can't get impeached soon enough.
• 59:47
  They should get pulled out under oath. I
• 59:49
  want to hear I I just I just want I just
• 59:52
  want to see every congressional
• 59:53
  committee get subpoena authority. Oh,
• 59:54
  I'd be so satisfied. I'll have content
• 59:57
  for years. What? reading their emails,
• 1:00:00
  reading their text messages, reading
• 1:00:02
  everything that they don't delete or
• 1:00:03
  burn. I mean, honestly, I unironically
• 1:00:05
  think there's a pretty good chance that
• 1:00:07
  like some of this administration is
• 1:00:08
  going to just take a flight to Russia. I
• 1:00:09
  I really think if they lose the midterms
• 1:00:11
  hard enough, they might just flee. They
• 1:00:13
  might just flee the country. Anyway,
• 1:00:15
  guys, hit subscribe, too. That's also
• 1:00:17
  free and helps. But but vote. Thanks to
• 1:00:20
  John T, Kevin, Michael, Rob, Thomas,
• 1:00:21
  William, Al. Uh these guys are
• 1:00:24
  supporters of the channel. They don't
• 1:00:25
  necessarily endorse all the stuff I
• 1:00:26
  said. Um, but their support means a lot
• 1:00:29
  to me and it allows me to continue to
• 1:00:31
  speak truth to to power. So, thank you
• 1:00:33
  guys. And and again, go vote.
• 1:00:44
  Okay. Aceams, how would the Russians
• 1:00:45
  benefit if Trump and his family seek
• 1:00:46
  refuge within their country? Elon 2, if
• 1:00:48
  the Dems are really bloodthirsty. The
• 1:00:49
  Dems will not be really bloodthirsty. Um
• 1:00:51
  they've repeatedly shown that they lack
• 1:00:53
  the ability to like constitutionally um
• 1:00:56
  hold people accountable for crimes. Um
• 1:00:59
  Elon would definitely run to Russia
• 1:01:00
  because Russia um one because what Elon
• 1:01:04
  did with Doge uh were was crimes was
• 1:01:07
  criminal acts. Um and I I think there's
• 1:01:11
  a greater chance that Trump would issue
• 1:01:13
  a bunch of pardons, but the pardons
• 1:01:15
  won't prevent won't save you from state
• 1:01:17
  charges. Um and if a lot of states
• 1:01:20
  suddenly turn blue, you may see stuff
• 1:01:22
  like that. Um the Russians would benefit
• 1:01:24
  because of the propaganda victory. They
• 1:01:26
  would say that they would what they
• 1:01:27
  would do is claim that um there would
• 1:01:29
  they would claim that there was a coup
• 1:01:31
  in the United States, that the evil
• 1:01:33
  leftists took over the country and that
• 1:01:36
  the true president is in exile. Right?
• 1:01:39
  So he would call himself the president
• 1:01:40
  of the United States. He would him and
• 1:01:42
  his staff would claim to be the
• 1:01:44
  government in exile and Russia would
• 1:01:46
  repeat this. That's that's what would
• 1:01:48
  happen. And Elon would use Twitter to
• 1:01:50
  amplify that message.
• 1:01:56
  That's that's that's what he' probably
• 1:01:58
  do.
• 1:01:59
  That's what Russia would do. In the
• 1:02:01
  process, it would it would stop the
• 1:02:02
  United States from developing any kind
• 1:02:04
  of it would it would just annihilate the
• 1:02:06
  social fabric. Elon is like Marco Rubio
• 1:02:09
  chameleon. Yeah. The difference is Marco
• 1:02:10
  Rubio is a smart chameleon. Elon is very
• 1:02:13
  stupid. Like I can't emphasize this
• 1:02:15
  enough. People believe that Elon was
• 1:02:17
  once a very intelligent man, but because
• 1:02:20
  of his frequent and widely reported
• 1:02:23
  ketamine use, uh, he has done permanent
• 1:02:25
  damage to his brain. And this isn't me
• 1:02:28
  making this up. Um, right? People say,
• 1:02:31
  "Oh, but his flying car, dude, he's
• 1:02:33
  going to build a flying car." Um, bear
• 1:02:35
  in mind the Tesla Cybertruck, basically
• 1:02:37
  nothing, none of Elon's claims about the
• 1:02:40
  specifications of Tesla Cybertruck were
• 1:02:42
  true. It cost twice as much as he said.
• 1:02:44
  It has only 60% of the towing capacity.
• 1:02:46
  It has twothirds of the range. He
• 1:02:47
  claimed it would have um he claimed it
• 1:02:50
  would work as a boat. It multiple people
• 1:02:53
  have either drowned or had to be rescued
• 1:02:55
  because they believed Elon when he said
• 1:02:56
  the Tesla Cybertruck could work as a
• 1:02:58
  boat. Um uh these are just absurd
• 1:03:01
  things. And if you look at Tesla f from
• 1:03:03
  a factual basis, Tesla um if you exclude
• 1:03:08
  car models of car that are older than 10
• 1:03:12
  years, um they have not made a single
• 1:03:15
  profitable car, right? Um
• 1:03:22
  so if you look at the cars release
• 1:03:24
  dates, um let's see, here we go. The
• 1:03:27
  original Roadster was in 2006, 20 years
• 1:03:30
  ago. Model S uh was 2011. So 15 years
• 1:03:36
  ago. No. Uh is that right? Uh yeah. 15
• 1:03:39
  years ago. 14 years ago was the Model X.
• 1:03:42
  Model 3 was 10 years ago. Oh, sorry. The
• 1:03:44
  Model Y. The Model Y came out um 6 years
• 1:03:46
  ago. Tesla Semi uh claim, but I've never
• 1:03:50
  seen it. Cybert truck. Model Y long
• 1:03:53
  six-seater.
• 1:03:55
  Okay. A six-seater. Model Y, I guess. Uh
• 1:03:58
  Cyber Cab. uh again
• 1:04:01
  in the roadster in the future. But you
• 1:04:04
  can see here that commercial trucks,
• 1:04:06
  right? Um like let's see Tesla
• 1:04:11
  revenue by
• 1:04:14
  uh
• 1:04:17
  so if you look up Tesla revenue this is
• 1:04:20
  this is
• 1:04:22
  right
• 1:04:24
  uh you can see that 75% of the revenue
• 1:04:27
  is from automotive. Uh the rest is from
• 1:04:30
  their solar systems, power wall, mega
• 1:04:32
  pack related services and one warranty,
• 1:04:34
  maintenance, collision repair,
• 1:04:35
  supercharging, Tesla insurance and merch
• 1:04:38
  uh is 13% of revenue. So you can see
• 1:04:39
  basically they have to sell cars. And
• 1:04:42
  when you break down by car model, you
• 1:04:45
  basically see um that almost everything
• 1:04:49
  is Model 3s and Model Y's. Uh other
• 1:04:53
  models, model SX and Cybertruck
• 1:04:56
  are a tiny fraction, vanishingly small.
• 1:05:03
  So
• 1:05:05
  again, let's see if we can find their
• 1:05:08
  stats here. Uh again, they claim overall
• 1:05:10
  production, overall deliveries,
• 1:05:13
  but
• 1:05:16
  again, it's hard to delivery by numbers.
• 1:05:19
  That's delivery numbers. I mean, you can
• 1:05:20
  see that actually in 2025 they're
• 1:05:22
  delivering fewer cars. In fact, they've
• 1:05:25
  been delivering fewer cars for the last
• 1:05:27
  two years. Nothing troubling about that.
• 1:05:30
  Tesla sales by model, Model 3 and Y is
• 1:05:33
  97% of deliveries. Okay, so again, you
• 1:05:38
  look at Elon and you're like, Elon's an
• 1:05:40
  innovator, guys. Elon's basically entire
• 1:05:43
  business model comes from Model 3s and
• 1:05:46
  Model Y's. Um
• 1:05:49
  that's it. 97% of their revenue comes
• 1:05:52
  from Model 3s, Model Y's and then
• 1:05:54
  servicing those those. Um
• 1:06:00
  like like
• 1:06:06
  so basically if it wasn't for uh
• 1:06:16
  Yeah. Yeah, the Model S 15 years old
• 1:06:18
  basically and the Model Y six going on 7
• 1:06:22
  years old.
• 1:06:24
  It's kind of it. That's that's what
• 1:06:27
  Elon's got. 97% of his revenue is from
• 1:06:30
  stuff he built six years ago.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah, like living SpaceX purchased more
• 1:06:48
  Cyber Trucks than they sold in the rest
• 1:06:50
  of the market. That's exactly true, too.
• 1:06:52
  SpaceX is basically subsidizing using
• 1:06:55
  investor money, debt in debt, debt money
• 1:06:57
  to buy Cybert trucks. And I point this
• 1:06:59
  out because SpaceX is not a profitable
• 1:07:01
  company, right? None of its business
• 1:07:04
  units make money. the only only one
• 1:07:07
  sorry excuse me only Starlink makes
• 1:07:10
  money
• 1:07:11
  that is the only profitable business
• 1:07:13
  unit
• 1:07:15
  and that's with most of its revenue
• 1:07:17
  coming from the US taxpayer and Starlink
• 1:07:20
  guys I got bad news Starlink is also
• 1:07:23
  going to be having a bad time because as
• 1:07:24
  discussed Star Shield
• 1:07:27
  the government system is never going to
• 1:07:30
  get another client as long as it lives
• 1:07:32
  because no government is going to put
• 1:07:34
  themselves at the mercy of Elon Musk's
• 1:07:36
  mood, which is what has happened to the
• 1:07:38
  Ukrainians.
• 1:07:47
  Again, SpaceX stock losing since this
• 1:07:50
  since this debacle has started. SpaceX
• 1:07:52
  stock has dropped 8 and a half going on
• 1:07:55
  9%.
• 1:07:58
  Even today, it is up a little, but not
• 1:08:00
  for long, lads. Not for long.
• 1:08:03
  That's pretty bad news if you're a
• 1:08:05
  SpaceX investor. In fact, here's the
• 1:08:07
  hilarious part. Basically,
• 1:08:10
  the losses of the last week
• 1:08:13
  are essentially all of the losses that
• 1:08:15
  SpaceX has experienced.
• 1:08:18
  Obviously, it dropped to 112. It went
• 1:08:20
  back up, but you know, two hours ago,
• 1:08:23
  Elon said he's giving SpaceX stock to
• 1:08:25
  every kid in America. Yeah, okay. Sure,
• 1:08:27
  bud. Sure thing, boss.
• 1:08:35
  Yeah, everybody claims they're going to
• 1:08:36
  build a Starlink competitor, a satellite
• 1:08:38
  internet system. It's hard to beat
• 1:08:40
  Starlink, but it's not that hard, right?
• 1:08:47
  Like I would love to see Jeff Bezos put
• 1:08:49
  one out because it'd be an easy win,
• 1:08:50
  right? Amazon Leo Project Kuniper
• 1:08:53
  planning over 3200 satellites.
• 1:08:56
  um
• 1:08:58
  service rollouts expanding through 2026.
• 1:09:03
  Uh Euroat one Web um 360 satellites
• 1:09:09
  enterprise government maritime artic
• 1:09:10
  connectivity rather than direct to
• 1:09:11
  consumer and telesat.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah, I'm trying to see.
• 1:09:39
  I wonder if can I get Amazon Leo?
• 1:09:44
  Huh? Yeah, Amazon Leo is operational.
• 1:09:48
  Huh? Oh, it says it's coming.
• 1:09:52
  A new era of internet is coming.
• 1:09:57
  Coming when
• 1:10:08
  okay already demoed for the US Army in
• 1:10:10
  Aberdine.
• 1:10:12
  36 satellites from French Guyana. Okay,
• 1:10:20
  let's see. I mean, okay. 7007 years ago,
• 1:10:24
  1,400 employees,
• 1:10:27
  formerly project Kuniper. Okay. Huh.
• 1:10:37
  Uh let's see. Post prototype launch
• 1:10:41
  total number of
• 1:10:44
  all right. Uh agree with South African
• 1:10:46
  internet service provider provide its
• 1:10:47
  first satellite internet service in
• 1:10:48
  Africa.
• 1:10:51
  Okay. Primarily for rural community,
• 1:10:52
  smaller towns
• 1:10:57
  uh
• 1:10:59
  built some Falcon 9 and new Glenn
• 1:11:01
  launches from his other company.
• 1:11:06
  So, it's not clear. It sounds like
• 1:11:08
  sounds like they might have 400 in in
• 1:11:10
  orbit, which is not nothing,
• 1:11:13
  but again, it's it's hard to say.
• 1:11:20
  So, this says launch history. Uh, 22 24.
• 1:11:25
  Okay. So, it looks like we've had 15
• 1:11:27
  launches, probably averaging about 30 a
• 1:11:29
  pop. So, yeah, that's like 450.
• 1:11:45
  I mean, they wouldn't be I assume Jeff
• 1:11:48
  Bezos wouldn't put out a website like
• 1:11:50
  this.
• 1:11:54
  I mean, if I was Jeff Bezos, I would
• 1:11:56
  [ __ ] wet my lips at being able to to
• 1:12:01
  um
• 1:12:03
  to sell to sell this to governments to
• 1:12:06
  say, "Listen, listen, we have a track
• 1:12:08
  record of government service. We follow
• 1:12:10
  the ru the laws the country we're in,
• 1:12:12
  right? We don't play games. You sign a
• 1:12:14
  contract. You get what you get. I'm a
• 1:12:16
  reliable guy. Elon Musk is a crazed
• 1:12:18
  maniac, right? Like I would sit there
• 1:12:21
  and say, that's what I would sell. I
• 1:12:23
  would say, listen, we'll sell you a
• 1:12:24
  system that the US can't control, right?
• 1:12:31
  Montreal lab. The slate EV will almost
• 1:12:32
  certainly outsold the Cybert truck.
• 1:12:53
  All
• 1:12:59
  right.
• 1:13:15
  Oh, yeah. I see. Starlink. I mean, wild.
• 1:13:18
  Starling started light launching
• 1:13:19
  satellites
• 1:13:22
  15 years ago. But let's see
• 1:13:30
  say the first launches
• 1:13:37
  2020 Starlink had beta services
• 1:13:40
  in 2020.
• 1:13:42
  Let's see.
• 1:13:48
  So, it sounds like they needed 2,000
• 1:13:50
  satellites. So, it sounds like
• 1:13:52
  uh LEO is about a quarter of the way
• 1:13:54
  there. Amazon Amazon's Leo is about a
• 1:13:56
  quarter of the way there. Um,
• 1:14:01
  this sounds like their minimum viable
• 1:14:02
  product.
• 1:14:18
  Uh, let's see.
• 1:14:23
  2023
• 1:14:25
  2022 McMmero station got Starlink
• 1:14:30
  authorized in Fiji. Interesting. I I
• 1:14:32
  still wish I could plot like service
• 1:14:33
  against total satellites.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:14:50
  10,000 satellites are active in orbit.
• 1:14:52
  53% of every satellite in Earth.
• 1:14:56
  196 de orbiting out of life. About 2,000
• 1:14:59
  re-entered and burned up.
• 1:15:03
  Thousand are raising into orbit.
• 1:15:06
  Interesting.
• 1:15:17
  Oh yeah, here we go. Yeah, Starink has
• 1:15:19
  10,000. One web. Oh, one web. Okay, 600.
• 1:15:22
  Amazon Leo 400.
• 1:15:28
  Interesting. Okay,
• 1:15:36
  let's see.
• 1:15:38
  Oh, interesting. Amazon is going to try
• 1:15:39
  to do it just 3,00
• 1:15:42
  basically in the same orbital shell
• 1:15:47
  claiming to have basically superior
• 1:15:50
  download speed.
• 1:15:55
  Oh, it's already Okay. Well, uh, Leo is
• 1:15:58
  already being baited. So I I would bet
• 1:16:00
  if I were a betting man, I would bet
• 1:16:02
  that Jeff Bezos would would if the
• 1:16:04
  midterms go sideways for Trump, bet Jeff
• 1:16:06
  Bezos would probably sell their Kuniper
• 1:16:09
  to to Ukraine. That's what I would do.
• 1:16:26
  All right, you guys want to talk about
• 1:16:27
  another crazy drone program?
• 1:16:34
  Robber, I'm not depending on uh Elon or
• 1:16:38
  Jeff Bezos. I'm depending on the free
• 1:16:40
  market. All right,
• 1:16:42
  Jeff Bezos, again,
• 1:16:45
  free market. The free market's doing its
• 1:16:47
  job, which is exactly what we're seeing
• 1:16:50
  with Tesla now. As someone pointed out,
• 1:16:52
  if you want an electric car, there's a
• 1:16:54
  bunch of options. There's a ton, right?
• 1:16:58
  Solar panels never been cheaper.
• 1:17:01
  Electric cars never been more
• 1:17:02
  affordable.
• 1:17:05
  And again, I got to say, whatever
• 1:17:06
  complaints you have about electric cars,
• 1:17:08
  you know, we have one electric, we have
• 1:17:10
  one hybrid car, and I pat myself on the
• 1:17:13
  back every day for that [ __ ] thing
• 1:17:14
  because my wife drives it 45 minutes to
• 1:17:16
  and from work. That's it. That's
• 1:17:18
  basically all it goes. But we've never
• 1:17:20
  bought gas for it, you know?
• 1:17:23
  And if we were really committed, we'd
• 1:17:24
  probably like put some solar panels up
• 1:17:26
  and just like fuel the thing with the
• 1:17:28
  sun, you know?
• 1:17:36
  Okay. Yeah. Let me look at the one Web.
• 1:17:38
  The one Web looks kind of interesting.
• 1:17:47
  So, Starlink verse one web or UTEL
• 1:17:51
  again 600 satellites really high orbital
• 1:17:54
  altitude. Uh
• 1:17:58
  small satellite business and government
• 1:18:00
  large enterprise ter Oh, okay. Large
• 1:18:02
  enterprise terminal, not the small
• 1:18:03
  consumer dish. The small consumer dish
• 1:18:04
  is essential. Um
• 1:18:07
  right,
• 1:18:09
  slightly worse latency, but not by a
• 1:18:11
  ton.
• 1:18:17
  uh UK company.
• 1:18:31
  Yeah, really good coverage at high out
• 1:18:32
  latitudes.
• 1:18:38
  Yeah. So again, UTEL, if it wanted to
• 1:18:40
  offer Ukraine an alternative, would need
• 1:18:43
  to um would need to develop a small
• 1:18:46
  consumer terminal.
• 1:19:00
  All right,
• 1:19:02
  let's talk about one last story. A good
• 1:19:04
  news story.
• 1:19:09
  Oh, Reky W. Thanks for the 10. Hey,
• 1:19:11
  Paul. Not a first time chatter, but I'm
• 1:19:12
  looking at two accounts in your chat.
• 1:19:13
  Ricewelp and Milva appear to be tied
• 1:19:15
  together. Whether it's trolls, I don't
• 1:19:17
  know, or something worse.
• 1:19:19
  Uh, okay. Thank you. But you got to give
• 1:19:22
  me some more uh info
• 1:19:27
  because Milvo gave us $10 for something
• 1:19:30
  called the Ryan McBth project, but I
• 1:19:32
  don't know what that is.
• 1:19:35
  No. No. If you're a troll, right? I'm
• 1:19:37
  not going to just block people.
• 1:19:46
  Yeah, you got you got to give me more
• 1:19:47
  info than that.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah, I can't even see those guys
• 1:20:13
  chatting.
• 1:20:20
  Oh, not your channel. Just a lot of
• 1:20:22
  OENT. Okay.
• 1:20:28
  Oh, interesting. They chat together
• 1:20:29
  everywhere. Huh. Weird.
• 1:20:46
  Yeah. Okay. Interesting. Weird. Yeah.
• 1:20:48
  It's kind of suspicious. They super
• 1:20:49
  chatted me was like Ryan McBth project
• 1:20:51
  and then said nothing. So
• 1:20:54
  that was that was weird. All right.
• 1:21:02
  Every time I think I've seen it all with
• 1:21:04
  drones, long range drones, short-range
• 1:21:06
  drones, ground drones, combat drones.
• 1:21:09
  But now we've seen yet another crazy
• 1:21:12
  battlefield innovation. This is an
• 1:21:14
  aerial Kazak drone carrying wounded
• 1:21:16
  troops out of the battlefield up and
• 1:21:19
  over in the skies. I swear to God this
• 1:21:21
  is true. Once again, getting my mind
• 1:21:24
  blown by Ukraine. Take a look at this
• 1:21:25
  video. So, Ukraine has reportedly
• 1:21:26
  carried out an evacuation of a wounded
• 1:21:28
  soldier from the front lines with an
• 1:21:30
  aerial drone. Uh, take a look here.
• 1:21:32
  Here's some of the footage of a soldier.
• 1:21:34
  Let's Let's make sure it's really high
• 1:21:36
  quality. Okay. So, you can see here that
• 1:21:38
  for obvious reasons, they have the team
• 1:21:41
  itself that built and designed the
• 1:21:42
  drone. And this is a wounded soldier
• 1:21:44
  flying in what looks like a simple
• 1:21:46
  harness. Uh, again, he looks like he's
• 1:21:48
  just kind of lifted in. You may think,
• 1:21:50
  man, this looks unsafe. And if you were
• 1:21:53
  like a civilian going on a joy ride,
• 1:21:55
  you'd be like, "Yeah, but you know what
• 1:21:56
  is even less safe is being wounded on
• 1:22:00
  the battlefield." And this doesn't have
• 1:22:01
  to be objectively safe. Safe by any kind
• 1:22:04
  of objective standard. What it has to be
• 1:22:06
  is safer than the alternative. And the
• 1:22:07
  alternatives for many of these troops
• 1:22:10
  are dying in a bunker and evacuating via
• 1:22:14
  ground drone, which is unbelievably
• 1:22:17
  unsafe. The Russians routinely target
• 1:22:19
  these ground drones. You can see here
• 1:22:20
  that it seems like it's actually a
• 1:22:22
  hexacopter. This guy gets strapped into
• 1:22:24
  a harness that carries him. It's
• 1:22:26
  extremely lightweight, but you can see
• 1:22:27
  here this is a very large and shout out
• 1:22:30
  to these guys for blurring essentially
• 1:22:32
  the entirety of the fuselage. They're
• 1:22:35
  just like, listen, we'll tell you it has
• 1:22:37
  six rotors, but we won't tell you
• 1:22:38
  anything else about it. And you can see
• 1:22:40
  here it actually is able to again kind
• 1:22:42
  of gently land him. This is something
• 1:22:44
  that seems like a pretty logical
• 1:22:47
  It's something that's logical, right?
• 1:22:48
  And if you recall in the early Korean
• 1:22:51
  War was when they pioneered um Kazvak
• 1:22:54
  helicopters, right? Uh and you can see
• 1:23:00
  uh let's see if we can find a picture
• 1:23:02
  here. Uh
• 1:23:04
  in the Korean War, right, you had Kazvak
• 1:23:08
  helicopters, but they looked really
• 1:23:10
  reckless, right? So here's an example of
• 1:23:13
  a Kazak helicopter from the early Korean
• 1:23:16
  War. This is an Army H19 uh helicopter
• 1:23:19
  and you can see casualties were
• 1:23:21
  literally strapped onto the skids and
• 1:23:23
  then just a guy a guy just zipped it to
• 1:23:27
  a uh combat surgical center. Uh this is
• 1:23:31
  crazy, right? It was called the
• 1:23:33
  Chickasaw. Oh, interesting. These are
• 1:23:34
  actually the same helicopter. So there's
• 1:23:36
  this one and then there's also
• 1:23:37
  apparently I guess a version that that
• 1:23:39
  did just Kazak. And
• 1:23:43
  the biggest takeaway I think here is to
• 1:23:45
  understand that this is this is
• 1:23:48
  something where the I mean the
• 1:23:51
  development of these helicopters again
• 1:23:52
  introduced in 1950 first flight in 1949
• 1:23:58
  and
• 1:24:00
  if there's a takeaway here it's that
• 1:24:01
  this is a logical like watching the way
• 1:24:04
  that aviation entered the battlefield
• 1:24:06
  and changed the battlefield it we're
• 1:24:08
  seeing almost beat forbeat the same
• 1:24:10
  thing happened with drones. It started
• 1:24:11
  off where drones like like aircraft were
• 1:24:14
  just reconnaissance, right? The firing
• 1:24:16
  in the war you saw just reconnaissance
• 1:24:17
  drones scouting enemy positions,
• 1:24:19
  learning about what's over the head.
• 1:24:21
  Then they said, "Listen, we think we can
• 1:24:22
  use these to do some strikes and it was
• 1:24:24
  literally dropping explosives, which is
• 1:24:27
  exactly what the earliest bombers did.
• 1:24:30
  They dropped small explosives and slowly
• 1:24:32
  they became specialized. You developed
• 1:24:33
  bombers. Then you developed, you said,
• 1:24:35
  "Listen, it's good for us to be able to
• 1:24:36
  actually take these things down." Now
• 1:24:37
  you have interceptors, right? you're
• 1:24:39
  seeing and now you're seeing of course
• 1:24:41
  the next logical thing which is Kazvak
• 1:24:43
  via drone. Why is this so important?
• 1:24:46
  Because
• 1:24:47
  currently the best way to evacuate a
• 1:24:49
  casualty is using a ground drone. These
• 1:24:51
  are just wagons. Wagons, motorized
• 1:24:54
  wagons that zip down a roadway that is
• 1:24:58
  too dangerous because it's watched
• 1:24:59
  around the clock by Russian
• 1:25:00
  reconnaissance drones. And if it can
• 1:25:02
  make it down about I've heard they have
• 1:25:04
  around these ground drones have around a
• 1:25:06
  50% attrition rate. But you can get down
• 1:25:08
  there, you can drop off supplies to a
• 1:25:11
  position, and you can load up a wounded
• 1:25:12
  and zip them out. Right? Again, it takes
• 1:25:15
  someone who would be a 100% likelihood
• 1:25:17
  to be a casualty and turns it into a
• 1:25:19
  50/50 dice roll. That's a pretty good
• 1:25:21
  deal. Most soldiers will logically take
• 1:25:23
  that. And so that's why when you look at
• 1:25:27
  some of these these early helicopters,
• 1:25:30
  you can see one saving weight was like
• 1:25:32
  invaluably essential, but also that you
• 1:25:36
  had a a
• 1:25:39
  the there was no good alternatives in
• 1:25:41
  the Korean War, right? given the level
• 1:25:43
  of mud, artillery, the ability to fly
• 1:25:45
  over really difficult terrain and then
• 1:25:49
  deposit that person, that casualty
• 1:25:52
  directly into a surgical center was
• 1:25:55
  unbelievably valuable. And so I think
• 1:25:57
  you're seeing that evolution now. And
• 1:25:59
  obviously this is probably a first
• 1:26:00
  version. Uh I think a future version,
• 1:26:03
  right? We've seen not only upgraded
• 1:26:04
  ground drones that have a greater
• 1:26:06
  survivability. Um, but we also are
• 1:26:08
  seeing now again this evolution to the
• 1:26:10
  best way to get a casualty from wounded
• 1:26:14
  from wound to medical facility. Like
• 1:26:17
  this may actually be able to bring us
• 1:26:18
  back to the golden hour if we can do it
• 1:26:20
  right. A drone zipping in getting this
• 1:26:22
  guy and zipping out again. It might
• 1:26:24
  actually give them a fighting chance.
• 1:26:26
  So, I'm really fascinated by this tech.
• 1:26:28
  I think it's a sign of just how evolved
• 1:26:30
  things are getting. Um, I wanted to
• 1:26:32
  mention guys, of course, uh, that hit
• 1:26:35
  subscribe if if if you haven't. Um, and
• 1:26:39
  I also want to point out that, you know,
• 1:26:42
  the the
• 1:26:46
  like dronification of warfare
• 1:26:50
  and saving of lives is something that
• 1:26:52
  like we can all get behind. Actually,
• 1:26:54
  the unit that did this, the 92nd, we've
• 1:26:56
  actually worked with them. We've
• 1:26:58
  fundraised for them. Um
• 1:27:01
  and again, you know, I pretty greed
• 1:27:04
  saying welcome back to the ground. Um
• 1:27:09
  and
• 1:27:12
  again, imagine being the person, right?
• 1:27:16
  Uh imagine being the guy who has to ride
• 1:27:19
  in that thing. That's got to be
• 1:27:20
  nerve-wracking. But again, it's an
• 1:27:21
  alternative to being killed. Okay.
• 1:27:24
  Anyway, guys, thanks so much. I'll see
• 1:27:25
  you. Uh, thanks Colin, Dan, Deborah,
• 1:27:27
  Don, Douglas, Gabriel, GMAT, James, and
• 1:27:29
  all the tenative folks. We really,
• 1:27:31
  really appreciate you guys.
• 1:27:34
  All right.
• 1:27:45
  Okay. Well,
• 1:27:54
  future is here, old man. Yeah, Ukraine's
• 1:27:56
  literally bringing the future here. This
• 1:27:58
  is crazy. Okay, this is just [ __ ]
• 1:28:01
  crazy. I don't know what else to tell
• 1:28:02
  you.
• 1:28:31
  Yeah.
• 1:28:33
  Science, baby.
• 1:28:42
  Okay.
• 1:28:53
  rocketailing. Yeah, the Russian medevac
• 1:28:55
  strategy is uh is uh hope for the best.
• 1:29:00
  Literally the the the Russian medevac
• 1:29:02
  strategy appears to be if you get
• 1:29:05
  wounded, stay in your hole and
• 1:29:06
  eventually someday Russian forces will
• 1:29:09
  advance far enough past you that you'll
• 1:29:11
  be able to be evacuated. Like that's the
• 1:29:13
  strategy.
• 1:29:18
  Yeah, the real Martian medevac is
• 1:29:20
  strategy is is yeah uh report you as
• 1:29:23
  dead, report you as missing so you don't
• 1:29:25
  have to pay the death benefits
• 1:29:27
  and then just recruit somebody else.
• 1:29:35
  All right, guys. I'm going to get out of
• 1:29:36
  here. Uh I got some other stuff to do,
• 1:29:38
  but please check out your strike. Uh,
• 1:29:44
  that's funny. People are like, "He
• 1:29:45
  shadowbanned Millie." Nah, dude. No. I I
• 1:29:48
  I Poff isn't even here. He's not modding
• 1:29:51
  anything. Nobody's modding. If you got
• 1:29:53
  banned, it's because of uh Google's AI
• 1:29:55
  automatic banner.
• 1:29:58
  You should You You did yourself,
• 1:30:02
  bro. The Russians don't even have plenty
• 1:30:03
  of tourniquets. All right. Their
• 1:30:04
