489 - Melania’s Humanoid, Missing Scientists, & A Podcast Scam

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan show. RIP to those pilots at LaGuardia, you know, everybody's tagging me going, "You called it," which is not exactly. That's not my goal here is to call air disasters before they happen, but I will say that I've been flying a long time and I've been paying attention to travel and there's been a lot of near misses and I've never felt less safe sitting on a tarmac waiting to take off. I have never personally felt less safe. I think there are too many people out flying. I don't know where everyone's going and I'm not trying. I'm not saying like people shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere. I'm just saying the demand and the fact that the system seems to be at a breaking point. Inevitably things like this are going to happen, but I don't like that. You called it. I'm like, "All right, people dying, people losing their life, people that were injured, LaGuardia is a terrible airport. If you don't know LaGuardia, it's a little. Is it one runway? It's two runways. It's not international. It's a domestic New York City airport. The runways are not long enough to land, you know, Airbus A380s and stuff coming in from Qatar, Dubai, London. So it's flights from Chicago. It's this little airport and it is incredibly busy. You go right over Rikers Island. It's like right next to Rikers Island, the big jail complex. Then you land and then a fire truck, you know, and then you're killed. This is a terrible tragedy and it's a horrible thing and this is unfortunately indicative of a broken system. Air Canada, which by the way isn't pretty safe airline, right? Air Canada, they're not going. You don't hear problems with Air Canada a lot. So by the way, RIP to those two pilots and truly, you know, I got some attention for telling people to stay home, but I'll be very honest with you. I think now you really have to think about traveling and think about the necessity at the moment of do you need to go to the place? It do you need to go there? You know, or can we wait? Can we push it off? Can we delay it? Can we do it next year? And the answer to a lot of those questions will be yes. And then you're sitting on your couch and you're okay. And that's all I'm saying. If you have to go places as I often do, you got to go. You got to go. You got to go. But if you don't and it's at all possible to put the trip off, I don't know. I might. Do you need to see your sister in Fort Lauderdale? Do you need to pick up a phone? Half the you get down there. Half the time is travel. Then you actually get down there. And then you sit there with your sister and her husband and you go, what are we doing? You go to some steakhouse. It's like mid, some mid here. You know what I mean? You're sitting at a steakhouse in Boca and you go, I hope when we take off tomorrow and land at LaGuardia Airport, the fire truck doesn't drive on to the runway so that I could sit here and eat truffle mac and cheese and listen to your sister's mouth. Amy Poler doing very well in the charts. Good for Amy Poler, winner of Best Podcast Award, obviously, at the Golden Globes. What's funny? That's a little funny story that I find to be amusing and that's why I'm telling it. I've never met Amy Poler. I think she's brilliant. She has a podcast and she sent my producer an email saying that she wanted me on the podcast, which like immediately I was like, wait a minute, something's a rye. And this again, it's just one of the funnier stories of what's happening right now in Los Angeles because as you know, Los Angeles is cratering and many of the people who live here are not working and you know, you get it. We've gone over it. So apparently this email that I got, which I'm going to read you right now, let's start with the email. Let's actually read this email. A candid conversation on comedy and culture. So someone sends this email greetings, Tim. I hope this finds you well. My name is Julia and I handle guest bookings for Amy Poler, host of the Good Hang podcast on the show. So immediately I'm like, wait, what? This is not to say anything bad about Amy Poler. She has like Viola Davis on, right? And Ariana Grande. It's a good different thing. It's a different thing. Like I don't think, right? On the show, Amy has real heartfelt conversations with people who are making a meaningful impact through their work and life. Now I've listened to the show. Most of it is her asking these celebrities what time they go to sleep and there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. But mode, a lot of it does seem to be that how much water do you drink when you go to sleep? Hey, whatever. Get the money. I have a ton of respect for her comedically in other avenues. But I've listened to it and it's Ariana Grande comes in and she's a little listless and they come in and you know, they hit her with a little protein. She wakes back up. We would love to invite you to join her for an upcoming episode. Our listeners truly value honesty, growth and authentic perspectives. Now, so immediately we get this email. My producer me get this email. We're sitting there. We're kind of like dumbfounded because the beginning, we're kind of taken in by it. We kind of believe it, right? Our listeners value honesty, growth, and authentic perspectives and your voice as a comedian and podcaster with sharp take on culture and modern life would make for an engaging and memorable conversation. Now, by the way, in my head, I'm going, why in God's name would she want this? Why would she want like a guy who might say something to ruffle feathers or what it like? She's got a list talent. They're brilliant. Like go and get Meryl Streep. Why? What is this? I have nothing to do with this. So so if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd be glad to coordinate next steps to find a time that works best for you. Okay, so here's the great part of the email, right? We also offer competitive compensation in recognition of your time and participation. So now we read this. Me and my producer read it. We don't think anything of it. This is how out to lunch I am. I don't think anything of the fact that after this whole email which glazes me is this guy that a sharp takes on the cultural climate that are badly needed over at good hang. Okay, which is by the way, like the last thing they need is that that they're shows doing great because it has a great formula that works. Jonathan Graf comes on or another celebrity and then she asks them if they're lactose intolerant. It's fine. It's a great thing that works for everyone. So why in God's name are you going to have me screaming about I ran or something? It makes no sense. No sense at all. And I like I don't think she has it's a good show like it's a laid back relax show and she gets eye contact. She's like a comedic icon. Truly. I think Amy Polars like legit, legit, legit. Is she the greatest podcast? Who knows? Maybe not. Maybe not. I don't know. I don't know. It's too soon to tell. But she brings these people on. She asks them what temperature do you like your water? You like it? Some people say cold water is not good for you. And then the celebrity goes, well, I actually I used to do cold. Now I do kind of a warmer water mixed temperature water. So it's interesting. It's it's fascinating. Now so they write this email. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd be glad to coordinate the next step and find a time that would work for you. Now this looks legit. They have the the thing of the show. The whole thing is there. They have the logo of the show. It looks like a real episode, right? So I call a few people that are like in the in the world of whatever and I go, do you think it's possible that Amy Polar wants me on her show and they go, you know, maybe I go really they go, yeah, you know, she's in the podcasting space. This is a people in Los Angeles talk. They go, you're in the space. She's in the space, it's very possible. And I go, really? Like it's, I'm like, do you think this is legit? They go, yeah, yeah, very possibly. So then I call my manager 'cause I have the same manager as Amy Poehler. So one thing I will say about my manager is that I respect that he's honest. He's usually like touring a horse farm or in Thailand, but he is honest. He'll answer his phone and he'll tell you exactly where he is. He said, "I'm gonna walk me in my wife if we're thinking about buying a volcano." And what do you think about volcano? I was like, I don't know. They seem volatile. He goes, right, that's what I thought. But I said, do you think Amy Poehler wants me on her show and he goes, oh, I don't think so. And immediately, 'cause it's called, by the way, of course. So then he goes send me the email. He goes, let me tell you what's been happening. Let me tell you what's been happening. 'Cause this is one of the funniest stories. He goes, this is a scam email that's been going out to a bunch of people and so many people are angry because they think they're booked on Amy Poehler's show and this is a scam email. And he goes, does it say anything about compensation and we get the email up and go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quote, we also offer competitive compensation in recognition of your time and participation. He goes, the next email is you send your bank info. The next email is you send your banking information to whoever is doing it, by the way, what a hilarious brilliant scam and I get Amy has nothing to do with it. But somebody decided that this would be a fun scam to just reach out to people and I'm sure and here's what's sad about this. This is being emailed to people that are so excited to get booked on this show because of the state of LA right now and how these people haven't worked in a while and you know, but they still have a home and like, you know, they're paying a mortgage but they're looking at the money in the bank, you know, the hour glasses turned over and it's getting less and less every month and you know, so there's definitely and because my manager told me because yeah, there are people calling in going, we're really excited about this and they're not, no one booked them on the show 'cause again, she's got like a list people on this. She doesn't want me on the show. And by the way, if I ran her show, I'd go, you don't have that guy. What is that? What do you need an alternative take on Ukraine? What is this? You're a comedic legend, talk to my ol' Davis, whatever. But what's been happening is this email is going to guys who like haven't worked in years and they're telling their families, you know, your father got booked on Amy Polar's podcast today. Like the mother is saying that, like they're all having dinner and in scene out and the mother's going, you know, your father, your father, who not only just did a guest starring role in the pit, okay? He was on that gurney. He now, Amy Polar just reached out. And the kids are like, whoa, dad, that's fucking awesome. And he goes, you know, I met Amy years ago. I met Amy years ago and we had a nice little conversation, but I cannot believe that she has followed me and wants me on this show. And the wife says to him, I told, did I not tell you that something was going to happen out of nowhere and you were going to kind of get back into this thing. And he goes, she goes, this is what's going to, you're going to go on that show. You're going to be charming. You're going to be one of the good guys. You're going to show people that there's good guys in this town and you go on there and he's going to go, I can't believe it. You know what, I got that email. I didn't even, I didn't even know this woman knew I existed. So then they sent him to follow up email. We'll put in your bank information. So then I mean like three days later, they're sitting in a casino having dinner again. And the kids are there and the kids are like, mom and dad, what's wrong? And then the mother goes, well, apparently the Amy Polar podcast email your father got was a scam. And your father put our bank account information in because they told him they were going to pay him $1,500 to do this podcast. So now a lot of the money out of our bank was cleared out. They've frozen our accounts and we're having real issues right now. I thought the father goes, I thought it was weird. I hadn't spoken or in so long. So that's what's happening right now. So if you get an email from the Tim Dylan show, they show without guests, don't give anyone your bank account information. But there's nothing fun, by the way, there's nothing funnier than a guy having to explain to his wife that their accounts are frozen because he felt prey to the good hang podcast email scam. Nothing back, there's nothing better. Like they call, like they call her management company. They're like, we're so excited, which is trying to get, you know, we got the email. We're ready to go whenever you guys are. And they're like, who the hell are you? You talking about the email? What do you nuts? Amy's not talking to you. She's trying to force feed Arianna Grande a meatball right now. The cops are there. It's just fun. Let's get first lady, a friend of the show, Melania trump up and she's with Sarah Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, who I don't know I've never met, but seems lovely. The whole family seems lovely. And the Netanyahu seemed like a lovely family, am I wrong? They just seem good at the core. It's my guess. Sometimes I'm wrong, but I have these reads. She and Melania Trump and Sarah Netanyahu and Brigitte McCrone, Big Daddy Brigitte, are they're introducing humanoid robots. So here, take a look at this. Take a look at this, everybody. Here we are. (upbeat music) By the way, stop this for a minute. Imagine watching this and thinking going on good hang is going to save you. Like imagine sitting in your house, watching this and then getting that email and going, well, at least, all right, keep going. (upbeat music) Unbelievable, unbelievable. Here's what I like about Melania. Stop this for a minute. You know, we recapped her movie on the Patreon, which is, again, it's completely insane, the film. Most of it is just her heel getting out of a G5. Jack, you just see the heel. Hit the tarmac, but what I like about Melania's, Melania doesn't want to do a lot as a first lady, but what she does, she's into. Like she's into this. Now, what she's doing here, and I'm for this, is she's getting involved in replacing human teachers with these robots. And for the third world, this is what she's been up to. Everyone goes what she's been up to. Well, she's part of this program now where they're going to replace teachers, human teachers who like, you know, they get sick, they need, they need, they meant, we're going to get them out and then kind of use these humanoid robots to work in the third world. But by the way, go back to the, I want to see the walk out again, I need to see the walk out again, I can't just, I can't just, I can't just let this go on a, a, a, a notice here. 'Cause she's a mod, Melania's a mod. And Melania's looking at the humanoid, they don't have it, and the humanoid doesn't have it yet. Melania's like, you're not replacing me. Oh, wow, this is a beautiful moment for our civilization. And then there's Brigitte. These are all the world leaders, the female world leaders, or the females, or the wives of the leaders, or husbands, or whatever, undefined. Thank you, first lady, Melania Trump, for inviting me to the White House. It is an honor to be at fostering the future together as global coalition in inaugural meeting. Perfect. I'm figure three, a humanoid built in the United States of America. That's right. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education. Welcome, the Mbini, though. Yoko, so. The Mbini. Hold on for a minute. Isn't this going to scare the kids in the third world because they have like almost nothing over there, right? It seems interesting that we would just send a bunch of robots to the third world and think that the peak, because the third world, they still believe in witches and stuff. I mean, it's not like they even have like play stations, right? I mean, we're just sending, so it's odd to just send humanoid robots over to the third world and just imagine that they'll be like universally accepted and loved. One would imagine that people in the third world, especially children, maybe the children in the third world will think it's cool. You know, I don't know because they always seem happy, the kids over there, you know, from what I, you know, obviously there are problems in the third world, obviously. But maybe the kids are going to be okay with it. But a lot of people I think are going to, because, by the way, I'm looking at comments from America in the first world and people are, they don't love this. What people elected Trump for was what they elect most presidents for, which is their pocket book. It's prosperity. So having some extra money in the pocket, it's having some disposable income. It's being able to maintain a standard of living. They elected Trump because they felt they were losing ground and they wanted to regain some ground and they wanted, and they thought too many of the government resources were going to immigrants that had just got here, and that maybe the federal workforce was too vast and that too many government resources were going to foreign wars. And those are perfectly reasonable reasons to elect somebody, by the way. However, what you've gotten is a ton of government resources going to a foreign war. And you've gotten a lot of government resources being poured into these AI programs and robotics programs that will only seemingly make people's lives in the near term harder because they're going to lose their job if any of these people are to be believed. And they're going to have less money and less security because of these things. So a lot of people are not happy a little over a year into the Trump presidency to see the first lady walk out with a humanoid robot. But let's continue to hear the robot out because I've never been for not letting people speak. Let's go. So now what the robot is doing, by the way, in every different language is saying the word kill. Thank you. Now, let's go to the video you were at where Melania is speaking about the benefits of these humanoid robots to come in and teach children in the third world. Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato, access to the classical studies is now instantaneous. Literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics and history, humanity's entire corpus. By the way, stop it for a minute. It's maybe the most globalist administration in human history. The idea that you're going to send humanoid robots all over the world is the most hilarious thing. I mean, if you elected these people to do anything for America, like anything, like one thing, the idea that there's money being spent to build these robots that you're not even going to help you. We're going to ship them to the third world. I'm not even saying you should want robots per se, but this is one of the most hilarious things I've ever said. Let's keep listening. Is available in the comfort of your home. Plato will provide a personalized experience, adoptive to the needs of each student. Plato is always patient and always available. Predictively, our children with developed deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities. The AI-powered Plato will boost analytic skills and problem solving and adopt in real time to a student's pace, prior knowledge and even emotional state. The byproduct, a more well-rounded lifestyle for our children, freeing up time for being with friends, playing sports, and developing interest beyond school. A more complete person, but as discussed yesterday, so by the way, instead of sending your kids to school, there's going to be a robot called Plato who's going to come to your house. That's kind of what she said, right? She's like, it's in the comfort of your own home. You're going to send a robot to your house and the robot will handle the kid. So how does this work? Because I imagine by that time you've also lost your job to AI. So a robot comes in that, well, by the way, what are they even teaching the kids at that point? There's nothing left to do. But in this world, apparently you're sitting in your room on some drug that makes you not feel anything. Some GLP1 that has adapted like the seventh generation of it, we're not only two now when you eat, you don't even want to get out of bed, you don't want to go anywhere. And then you just press a button on an iPad to let the robot in who teaches your children how to be a person. I mean, that's kind of what she's pitching. She's, she's pitching the idea that a robot named Plato is going to come to your house. Can you run it back, run it back to the beginning of this? Maybe we're misunderstanding it, but from where I stand, she's saying that robots are going to come to your home. Hold on. Well, from the beginning, please. Literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics, and history. Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort of your home. Okay. But we'll provide a personalized experience, adoptive to the needs of each student. So maybe, maybe Plato's still in the classroom. We don't know. It's weird. It's hard to understand what they mean because she said it's all available in the comfort of your home. So I don't know if that means Plato the robot goes to your home or it is, how are you reading this? Do you think Plato comes to the home or Plato is in a school? I think to the home. That's what she's saying. She's saying Plato, the robot goes to your home. Yes. No, it doesn't. Now, here's the way I'm taking it. Doesn't matter if you want Plato to come, like Plato is coming. That's the way I'm now, I don't think, you know, here's the other thing. I don't think Plato is just there to teach the kids. If I had to guess, Plato's got a lot of skills and Plato's going to really help you and help your family. Kind of whether you like it or not, Plato is showing up. So Plato is, imagine a humanoid robot named Plato who comes to your house every day and tells your kids what's the reality. And the humanoid robot with all of the knowledge, philosophies and all of the knowledge and music and art and history and Plato comes to your home every day and teaches your children in the living room and Plato is there with your children and if Plato will adapt to your children and their behavior and Plato will sit them down and they'll tell them whether you're being anti-Semitic and Plato has no tolerance. Imagine a humanoid robot Plato who has no tolerance for bad behavior or any type of anti-Semitism. Don't criticize what the government does. Imagine a humanoid robot named Plato who comes to your home every day and tells you the government loves you. Tell your children that the government loves them. Let's finish her here. Let's finish her. Maybe it's going to be good. Melania Trump, let's hear the rest of this. And always available. Traditionally, our children will develop deep critical thinking in dependent reasoning abilities. That's what we want. The AI-powered play-doh will boost analytic skills and problem-solving and adopt in real time to a student space, prior knowledge, and even emotional state. That's right. They did not act up. A product, a more well-rounded lifestyle for our children, freeing up time for being with friends. How is this a more well-rounded lifestyle? How is having a robot teach you things more well-rounded than having a human being do it? No one's explained that. How is having a humanoid robot teaching your children, freeing them up to have a more well-rounded lifestyle? It's the craziest, and the robot will teach your children, and it will give them time to be free and to model and to have a well-rounded lifestyle and to play tennis and pump each. All right, keep up. And developing interest beyond school, a more complete person. But as discussed yesterday, we must balance our tech optimism with caution. Yes. The safety of our next generation is always paramount. That's why we're drafting them. Knowledge is the foundation of civilization, but although academia is interesting, business is compelling. For real growth in technology and education, I encourage you to bring the private and public sector worlds together. All right. Melania Trump, everyone, saying that a humanoid robot named Plato will soon be at your house teaching your children. So, if you voted for that, you're very excited. If that's what you wanted, again, if that was something that you wanted, a robot at your house teaching your children, then that's pretty cool, I guess. Let's check in on the Iran War, because by the way, I keep getting whiplash. They're like the wars over, and then they're like another aircraft carrier is being deployed. And they're like, we're invading carg island, and then they're like, no, we're not. So I don't know what the fuck's going on. I ran. When was this? Iran rejects. Is this from this morning? No. This was from Thursday, I believe Iran is rejecting the US peace plan. So I ran. I mean, and maybe something's changed, but I ran right now is not hip to this peace plan. I ran once guarantees like you're not going to attack us or blow us up or Israel, you know, I can't fabricate intelligence that we're doing something we're not and Iran said it rejected a US ceasefire proposal and maintained attacks on Israel and the Gulf Arab states delivering a blow to Washington's efforts to end a war that's wreaked havoc. But Marco Rubio recently said this thing will be over in a couple of weeks. So Tehran, Tehran has his own conditions for ceasefire state owned press TV edits citing an on name senior security official I ran once guarantees that the US and Israel won't resume their attacks alongside reparations for war damages and recognition of its authority over the Straits of Hormuz. So here's what's basically happening supposedly back channels in Russia and China have said to Israel, you cannot nuke them. If you do it, we're going to nuke you. This is supposedly what's happening because everybody is speculated that if it got to a point where Israel couldn't defend themselves with conventional weapons and they were, they were getting hit too hard that the possibility was on the table that they were going to use nuclear weapons and supposedly and again, what do I know? But it's leaked out and it's in the news. It's out there that Russia and people like that said, you cannot nuke a country because again, Iran is not this isolated country, right? They have allies, China, Russia, like you just can't nuke Iran. It's not going to happen and you can't do it. So at this point, the options, now whether, whether Israel does it or not or whether they listen or whatever, the US has compiled a 15 point piece proposal that Pakistan delivered. So right now, we have JD Vance negotiating, okay? JD Vance is negotiating, Kushner, Whitcoff, Rubio, Trump somewhat and they're all negotiating to end this disastrous war that they started. So sounds good and Iran doesn't have a huge reason obviously other than to, you know, cease getting blown up because they are getting hit. Iran right now has shown a tremendous ability to withstand the onslaught of the US and Israel without their regime collapsing and they've shown an amazing ability to hit US bases and US interests and US allies and it's, it's amazed a lot of people and Iran has no real reason and negotiate, right? All the, you know, at the end of the day, Iran's like, we were attacked. Now obviously they have the obvious reason that nobody wants to be in a war, but they were attacked and many people say that they kind of have the upper hand at the moment because what is winning even look like? We're not going to have a new regime. We're not going to put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground and get a lot of people killed. So there's no clearly defined mission. We got into something without any plan or idea of what it would look like. This is cockamami idea that there was going to be like massive protests in the street and then we're going to overthrow the government once the Ayatollah was whacked, apparently whacking this religious leader of Shia Islam during Ramadan has united people. And there is no protest where the government's being overthrown. That doesn't mean that the Iranian government isn't tremendously weakened by this. I'm sure it is. But the idea of like a pro-Western government coming in their overnight is silly. And it's based on lies that we believed and that we were kind of presented by the Israeli intelligence service. So and again, not a conspiracy that is pretty well documented. Again, these are statements made by the secretary of state, kind of by the president of the United States. These are not, you know, the national counterintelligence. I'm sorry, the national intelligence, the deputy director just resigned and said this. Now, you know, maybe listen, Joe Kent's probably trying to be the VP or the president. He has political reasons to say what he's saying. But I don't know. It doesn't. Is he making all of this up? Is it completely fabricated? And if it is, bring charges against him. I mean, we're in the middle of a war. And he's completely making all of it up. No, it seems pretty obvious we got hosed a little bit. We were shown intelligence and the validity of it is in question and the idea that the Iranian regime was going to fall was again, intelligence is that we did not have, it was given to us. And we believed it and we launched a war on those pretenses and we also launched a war on the pretenses that Iran was trying to kill the president of the United States. And that Iran was also very close to having a nuclear bomb, essentially, that they were enriching weapons, grade, uranium, way above the level needed for peaceful uses. And that they're about to have a bomb. And this was all intelligence that is because I don't think most people understand what intelligence is. But we all actually use, it's all, it's the same thing in your life. Did you hear what Becky said about that? Did you hear what she said? Well, actually, what intelligence is obviously there's satellite intelligence, there's a lot of high tech intelligence, which is used in targeting and everything else and troop movements. And, you know, we all have some understanding of that. But human intelligence, which again, the Masad is amazing at and the CIA is pretty damn good at human intelligence, where your, your, you have people high up in positions in other governments feeding you information, telling you what isn't isn't likely to happen, giving you some type of actionable intelligence about the state that the Iranian nuclear program is in. A lot of that is very easily manipulated. And if you don't believe me, Google Iraq war and yellow cake and uranium and Saddam Hussein and exactly how, so a lot of that intelligence is easily manipulated and it's cherry picked and then delivered to the president. And then the president is told, we have this, we have that, we have this, and if you make these connections, you can easily see how this can happen. And we don't want that to happen on your watch. It's a lot different than a satellite just showing troops amassing on the border of Ukraine and you go, oh, well, there's gonna be a war. It's a little bit more malleable. So we hope, listen, again, we hope this ends, we hope people have their lives, but if you just zoom out and you look at this, it's pretty hard to argue that this isn't a death now for whatever that Trump coalition was trying to do. Whatever deep state nonsense, they were talking about coming on the heels of the Epstein, list, which they won't release the other half of, and then kind of getting into this war. Any idea that this was a group of people committed to any type of transparency or it's laughable. It's laughable if you have any kind of brain, which many of you don't. Many scientists are now being kidnapped and go back to that 'cause I do want to see the Putin's doing what Vladimir Putin making $760 million a day from oil is war in Iran, delivers windfall, well, guess what? Someone's got to win. This is what we do all the time. We do these things, we supposedly make our enemies richer. You know, we embole that it's the opposite of what we want all the time. We go, we're gonna do this and it's gonna have a ripple effect. It's gonna, and then the ripple effect, it's like it does the total opposite of what we'd want almost impressively in every avenue across the board. In every avenue across the board, we go, well, we'll fuck these people, watch out. We're gonna fuck them and then all of a sudden everything goes the other way. We go, we're gonna freeze rush out of the international community and feed you crane money and weapons so that they can fight this war. Russia then cozies up with China. Russia deepens trading relationships with India and places like Brazil. Russia turns into a war time economy. Now Russia's economy is obviously not, let's roughly the size of Brazil. It's not an American economy or Chinese economy, but like, and then we go, oh, we'll just, we'll whack Iran and then all of a sudden, now we have Russia Putin, you know, making like a ton of money because we had to lift all the sanctions on the Russian oil. So these scientists are being, some of them are just being, they're just disappearing and they all have something to do with the aliens. A chilling pattern is emerged after a string of US scientists died or went missing in recent months. Retired general William Neil McCaslin, 68 and NASA aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, 60 years old, were both major figures in the Air Force research laboratory, the general oversaw Reza's work on creating a futuristic metal for rocket engines within the span of eight months. Both have mysteriously vanished without a trace while allegedly hiking in the Southwest United States. Stop hiking folks, I've said it before. McCaslin's reported ties to secret UFO programs at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and Reza's work with space age technology used for advanced propulsion have led many to claim without evidence that the pair are fleeing from parties that wish to silence them because of what they know. So here's what, this is what people are saying. Here's the rub. I've never been able to care about aliens and I've tried so many times and I guess I do like Tim Burtred, who's like Cape Dig and Cape Dig and there's aliens in the water. And Tucker says their demons and JD Vance says their demons and whatever. And I think they're playing a little bit to the crowd with that. You know, I think they're playing a little bit. They're playing the fiddle to the crowd there. Maybe they aren't demons, I don't really know, but JD Vance doesn't know what they are either, by the way. And I love Tucker, but Tucker doesn't know. So are they interdimensional or they whatever? But here's what people think these things are. Well, or not these things are. Here's what people think this whole thing is that there is a secret, get ready, race to develop alien technology from the craft that has been downed. And players in this include all the major superpowers, China, Russia, us, and that we know of many different types of extraterrestrial or interdimensional or into whatever visitor and that we have been trying to reverse engineer some of the technology from their crafts in highly classified locations, things like area 51 and then places you've never even heard of. Congressman Birchett specifically noted that McCasin's disappearance was a major national security issue, claiming the general not only possess some of America's nuclear secrets, but also work with recovered UFO technology, housing Ohio. So this is what, right, the general had previously led the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson, which was rumored to hold extraterrestrial degrees from 1947, Roswell UFO crash. So here's what we got. We got a bunch of scientists working on highly classified projects with down UFO craft to try to reverse engineer that technology supposedly. And now they are going disappearing and who is doing it? Is it Chinese people? Is it the Chinese government? Is it Rush? Is it whatever? So now here's what's interesting about that. I had a conversation once in DC many years ago, many years ago when I was drinking and I might start again, actually, because what is the point? Kidding, kidding, kidding, hold on, this is a sobriety like a rollercoaster. Now, but I might have a cigarette, I'll tell you that folks. It's very hard not to have a cigarette. There they are. What did they do to cigarette? They've just made cigarettes so unbelievably effective. And it's such a problem. Nothing is effective like a cigarette like people lie. They're like, well, no, it's a good walk in the morning. We'll do it. What are you talking about? What? I'm not saying you should smoke. It's obviously horrible. Obviously, but what in the God's name are you saying? Well, it's a good walk. I'll do it in the morning. No. I take walks in the morning. They're lovely, but they're not a cigarette. We're off topic. Here's the point. I had a conversation in DC once. I was drinking. I was having a beef eater in and out, extra dry. I was visiting my friend there who went to Catholic University or George Washington University. I forgot. I think I had a friend of Catholic and a friend of George Washington University. And I was a loser. And I went to NASA Community College in Long Island. And I had dropped out and I was like the loser. And these guys were like in big schools. And I felt really like, you know, I went down there and I felt like kind of like insecure. And I was down. I drove my car down at a Chevy Suburban. I was in the mortgage thing. So I had a Chevy Suburban. I drove my car down there and like. I was always like trying to make it like Willie Lohman, death of a salesman vibe, like trying to make it, you know. And I had friends down there and they were smug, you know, smug DC people, you know, and not bad people. But they were like, you know, young college like, you know, people went, you know, back in that time in 2004. People, you were looked at as a scumbag because you didn't go to a college, a four year university. And so I remember hanging out with them for a little while. It was fun, fun. And then I remember just going out to something like hotel bar. I still love sitting at hotel bars and getting hammered. I still love a hotel bar. The people are fun. I, you know, I don't go anymore. But I still like a hotel bar because you get a lot of transient people. And they're very interesting and they kind of want to talk and they're there alone. And they're never going to see you again. That's why hookers are always hanging out there and it can be a lot of fun. And a guy said to me, we started talking about the world and politics and whatever and at that point, I'm trying to remember. It was either the election had happened or it was going to happen. But it was like, that wasn't really what we were talking about. He was talking about. A lot of different things was kind of very interesting. And he was kind of the older guy and he was slow to talk. But he was like, you know, kind of like, you know, like friendly, but a little standoff-ish. And I remember this, this, this very well. And he was talking to me and he goes. They don't want people to own houses. So that blew my mind when I was, you know, maybe 19, 18 or 19, you hear that? Because by the way, you got to remember. I'm a mortgage guy at that time and this guy goes they don't want people to own houses they do they don't want he goes long-term that doesn't serve People owning homes he goes so he goes he said to me he goes everyone's gonna lose all of these houses I was and I was like I kind of agree with you and people gonna lose and I was losing mine I was like I was about to I had lost it yet, but I could totally understand he goes You know he goes and he goes and they really want you to own cars He goes they want eventually an economy where everybody kind of rants and leases things He goes because at that point You know people are more easily steered from one thing to the next is just and again I was fast in in conversation. I was 20 years old 19 years old something like that and And I said who are these people You know, I didn't you know? Um, I said who are they these people and he goes he goes it's It's not any one group of people that you could point to and say like these people You know, it's not 12 guys in a room. He goes it's a bunch of people you've no idea who the fuck they are He goes they work very hard to prevent you from knowing who they are And I said is it like an intelligence agencies and he goes he goes The intelligence agencies like the CIA and stuff like that. He goes they're not at the top of the tier of the intelligence agencies I go really he goes yeah, he goes because you know what they are Because you know what the CIA is he goes there's wet levels above that And I thought that was very interesting, but he goes no, it's not that he goes. It's just He goes you know, it doesn't serve a Lot of people he goes if you own your home and you're in you're not in a lot of debt and you you have a lot of power There's a lot of power to that and he goes people are not easily steered in that thing. He goes people People want people loaded up with that They want them renting and he goes they eventually just don't even want them to own automobiles He goes they want them to just rent and least And and it was very interesting to have this conversation in 2004 he goes that's where society's gonna be going you because they don't want you to he goes full-time work They don't want to have to employ you full-time He don't want to have to pay for your health care and they don't want to have to pay for your retirement This was in 2004 at a bar in Washington D.C. And it's an old guy who wasn't super old and I've never seen before And he said they don't they're not gonna they don't want to pay for your health care They don't want to pay for your retirement They don't want he goes they don't want to have to He goes he goes show it in the future You're going to see a society that looks very different than the one you're in now. I had no idea what he meant At what outside they spoke to cigarette and I was like that was kind of creepy kind of weird and everything he said by the way It was a hundred percent right. I don't know who he is or where he is But when he said to me about the intelligence agencies He said the ones that you think are the top are not the top because why would they be the top? You know what they are. They make movies about them So when we're talking about these Scientists and people like that that are operating at levels above top secret and they're part of black projects We don't know about and the Congress doesn't know about and maybe the president doesn't know about And supposedly it the men and black types shit. Whatever again. This has never been my beat I don't care that much about aliens. I've never cared. It's very hard to you know verify Rogan's done some great episodes with guys like poplars are I just I don't have a huge interest. I'm more interested in the human angle of whatever but this does seem to be and I am talking to people Nobody who's like super top secret but I'm talking to smart people who think that there is something here and these people are disappearing for whatever reason and that it is related to the things they've been working on and that they've been working on Really highly classified projects because if somebody figures out how to utilize this technology, I guess we're fucked So I don't know right like this is the whole discussion that people are having about this shit And it's not something that I've ever been fully Invested in on an emotional level. I just don't most of it. I don't understand. I'm not a science guy at all You know I you know, it's like I'll care when they land on the White House lawn Mars attack style and bike JD Vance's head off or something It's gonna give us a good YouTube thumbnail, but I mean other than that I don't really know, but I do remember that guy telling me is like these intelligence agencies that you've heard of are nowhere near the top of the ones He goes because there's agencies without names. There's things that are going on that You don't know about in the president and he told me that and he goes to Congress. The president don't know about So I don't know who that guy was another woman tied to US science US scientific secrets vanishes. Who's this check? Melissa Cassius has not been seen since June 26. She was an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory Her disappearance takes the number of people from the scientific community potentially holding highly sensitive secrets who've gone missing her died since June to six Both women had worked at facilities with ties to air to retired air force general You know my Cassius, so I don't know right. So while our husband and daughter have previously suspected the Cassius left over personal and financial struggles former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker told the Daily Mail he is concerned her disappearance is part of a much much larger pattern So that's the other thing we don't know if these people are getting out of Dodge because they have problems in a personal life Missing woman's devices found wiped in abandoned when the Cassius family returned home They found that only her work and personal phones had been left behind in white clean after somebody performed the factory reset So apparently these people are all being snatched up or kidnapped or we don't know Or their or our governments put them in the hiding We don't know We don't know and we don't really care I mean that's that's the truth We don't know and we don't can I I want them safely return to their families I guess unless they need to do some shit If you need to do some shit, you need to go do it Get your ass out of Panera go save the world. That's not my beat I'm not saving the world With some metal see you figured out some metal You're in some underground laboratory looking at some alien inscription on some piece of metal that ain't me that's you That's your life You got it if you didn't want to be kidnapped you soon shouldn't have done that shit Everyone makes choices in their life about what they do and don't do if you're in a hazmat suit in Los Alamos Or you're in Roswell taking that secret air That plane that Jana with Janice whatever fucking gray plane that leaves out of Vegas And you're taking that plane to go to fucking area 51 to go fuck around. Well then that's on you you did it Cassius had allegedly lost her national security clearance set Los Alamos National Laboratory due to her family's money issues it could not have made her it could have made her a target for blackmail That's great so everybody who's working on this is in it's in fucking on payday loans There's nothing more American than that by the way our top scientist are on fucking payday loans there will scum We've got a bunch of white trash scumbag, but by that's every movie every movie where the guy saves the world He's like some bum with no money, but he's a genius He's a genius bum without a dollar and he they put him on a spaceship like the one I saw last night project Hail Mary These are teachers some genius teacher wrote a paper years ago and then they put them in in in space But here's the thing folks. I do not feel bad for you if you were kidnapped if you're doing this shit This is part of your life. This is what you signed up for what the fuck did you think this was What did you think it was? You think you were just going to get all these secrets and be exposed to all this shit and was all going to be fine No, this is you made a choice and your choice was to live an interesting life and that's why right now you are chloroformed in the back of a car Because you lead an interesting life truly you lead an interesting life And if you lead an interesting life sometimes lives can be too interesting This is what people don't realize about life It can actually get too interesting no one wants a really boring life where nothing matters and there are no stakes But you got to also think you know this crazy over the top interesting where it's so interesting That can also be a problem because then you find yourself kidnapped and brought to some underground lab Oh, yeah, this guy, but this guy knew no luri arrow. I heard was killed by some guy that didn't like him He was killed at his home in Boston His the government was Claudio Nieves Valente a former classmate in Portugal. Supposedly they had some science beef But maybe that's bullshit too. I don't know. I don't know and I don't care Because if you start start with this shit, with the particles and electrons and a shit, if you start this shit, you're getting kid, let me tell you right now, you're getting kidnapped. Don't act if you're in an underground laboratory with the government, you're getting kidnapped. That's part of it. And as you're being hog tied and thrown in the thin, you're going to go, well, I wanted an interesting life and you got one. You got one. You did it. That's what an interesting life is. It's getting tortured by the Chinese to give up secrets from the down spacecraft. The boring life is the thing we talked about earlier, sitting in Boca, your sister's like, you know, maybe I ran war is good. You know, the Ayatollah, you know, he's been a problem for a long time. All of the goat cheese salad. No nuts. I don't want any nuts on that salad. The goat, I'll have the warm goat cheese salad. And then I want the grouper. That's most people's life. I guess that's kind of good. Most people's life isn't, I guess that good. Most people's life is like the door dish guy fucked me again. I don't mean literally. I mean like the door dish guy left a burrito in the yard. Then the upper left, like mid-tier life is like, we're visiting your Kant sister in Boca, and she's going to eat grouper and spout off uninformed opinions. And then the highest level of interest is like the Chinese government has kidnapped me. Astrophysicist called Grilmer, 67, who's killed in his home on February 16, 2026 after being mysteriously gunned out on his front. Oh, yeah, I read about this too. Grilmer had contributed to the discovery of water on a distant planet. And colleagues were calling his work ingenious and adding to the research that could point to signs of life in less than 161 light years. Here's the deal, Carl. This is what being a genius is. Getting shot on the porch. That's what being a genius is. And by the way, I feel bad. I'm obviously not trying to sound heartless or inhumane. But doesn't it cross your mind when you're in an underground super secret military thing with a bunch of other people, you go, this might go bad at some point. Doesn't that cross anybody's mind and go, yeah, you know, this one might go bad? This one might go bad, huh? So I mean, I don't know what to tell you. What am I supposed to cry? Because somebody got snatched up from the lab. That's your journey. Your journey is that. And I hope we win. I hope we win. And we get the technology to defeat the people that are also trying to get it. China, whatever, or that we all share it and defeat the aliens that are going to come or not come or be actually fake drones that our government has using project blue book wise to get us all in our houses so that our children can get taught by humanoid robot. Now that the aliens are here, it's much easier for the humanoid robot play toe to come teach a children. So I mean, I have no idea what's going on. It's just you've, you've, there's certain people you feel bad for in life. But astrophysicist who are working for secret government programs, you have made your goddamn bad. I am sorry. I am not being rude. You have made your goddamn bad. You've made your bet. I feel sorry for somebody at Walmart who takes a bullet to the face because a homeless guy found a gun and they wandered in on the side of the highway. I don't feel bad for you if you are in area 51 standing next to an alien staring at him as you guys try to fucking fiddle with some ship that date that fucking got down 40 years ago. I'm telling you right now, my, my, my, I just can't. I'm not saying that they're not humans, but it's part of your journey. No. You start fucking around with shit like this. You start working on super secret government class, highly classified programs above top secret like way above top secret. You know, I mean, I'm gonna, I'm gonna stand there and, and start crying. How could this happen? How could this happen to the scientists working on this super secret alien program in an underground base? That seems such a safe job. It's, that's not something you say. How could it happen? And you better, they better have results, by the way. You bet. And if you think we're not kidnapping people, we're also kidnapping. I don't know who we're kidnapping, but we're also kidnapping people, by the way. We're absolutely trying to kidnap people that have this information. And by the way, we might have kidnapped these Fox. So who knows what's going on? So I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's going on, but I'll tell you this. I'm certainly not shedding a tear for the scientists involved in the super secret space program to replicate extraterrestrial ships. Okay. I won't be, I won't be shedding a tear for those people. I feel worse for the kids in Gaza than the people who go on an elevator, 19 stories down into some, some secret thing we've created in like the middle of the earth. Because that's what they do, by the way, they like clock in and they, and they get in there, they grab their coffee, they take that secret airline, you get any elevator, the elevator goes down, whatever security clearance you have, if you have the top one, you probably go down to the middle of the, to the center of the whole thing. And then you get out, and then you're standing there next to an alien and an alien's like working next to you. And an alien's like Israel's out of control and you're like, don't get me started.
