🚨LIVE: Trump Speaks At RNC Midterm Convention, Fetterman JOINS RNC w/ David Whited

Tonight, the RNC is doing something very strange. They're having a midterm convention, and normally the conventions are where they nominate presidential candidate, but we're in a midterm, so they're having a convention, everybody's rallying, and the president will be speaking tonight. We will be covering this, we'll be watching it live in real time, but we do have a lot of news to cover, and I think the biggest story, reaching nearly 140 million views plus and hitting tens of millions more in ancillary media, a researcher from Anthropocos come out saying, there's a very real possibility AI will kill us all by the end of this decade, and they know it, and they won't stop. Since then, many experts, other researchers working in the field have come out in agreement saying, it's true, everyone does know this, but they will not stop. Their fear, China or an adversary will develop. These systems before us, and then we die faster, I guess? There's a lot to talk about what this means in the world of AI and what is currently going on, so we'll talk about that and a whole lot more plus new information on the Lindsey Clancy jurors. I guess they published a photo of the guy who was just refusing to give in. Amazing. And it'll be good fun. We also want to take a look at the guys with the midterm convention happening. Trump's very serious about trying to win. Why? Well, the calcium markets have him at 60% to get impeached. At the start of at least 2028, we'll see. I mean, we got this election coming up 2027, I think. The odds that Trump gets impeached are increasingly high, according to the prediction market. So we're going to talk about all of that and more. Joining us today, tonight, to talk about this and so much more is David Whited. Hey, glad to be here. I host the Flower Conservative Podcast, is what we do. We do a nightly show, five nights a week. I do it with my wife. My co-hosts are adult grown kids during the 30s. We're all partners in it. And kind of started in January of 21 is kind of a way to, hey, somebody has to have answers. So we started interviewing doctors and people that had answers to what was going on in the world. So we have a lot of fun doing that and learn a lot in the process. Right on. Thanks for joining us. Should be fun. We got the boys hanging out. Amped. I've been working with Claude Code, coding a video game myself. So I'm down to talk about this AI stuff. What's up, everybody? What's going on, Carter? How's it going, everyone? I'm pumped to have you. It's going to be a great conversation. So let's get into it. Before we get started, my friends, I've got a great sponsor for you. It is Tax Network USA. You'll back taxes. Share of unfiled returns.

When Trump speaks, which I believe will be in about an hour, hour and a half, we will have that live. In the meantime, we will just be covering News of the Day as we do. So stick around for that Trump portion of the speech. In the meantime, we have the story from the Wall Street Journal. Anthropic researcher quits over out-of-control AI fears. An anthropic researcher is quitting the AI industry over fears the lab and its competitors are racing to build systems. They won't be able to control. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who specializes in training new AI models, having them consume vast amounts of data, said Tuesday he's leaving the company because he doesn't want to participate in an industry-wide rush to build AI systems that can improve themselves. Worried such systems could spiral out of control and destroy humanity, saying we're on track for a lot of the most aggressive of these scenarios, whereby the end of next year, things could be out of control already. Anthropic didn't immediately. Comment on the departure. Chief executive, executive Dario Mode and other company leaders have repeatedly warned about the risk of rogue AI models and urged the industry to slow development. After Coxon announced his departure, a top scientist, the company, Evan Hoobinger, wrote an ex that he thought Coxon was correct about the risks. We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is greater than 10 percent within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment. We're super intelligence and are not clearly on track to Illinois. Governor J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday responded, saying that it's time to sound the alarm. It's becoming more clear the threat AI poses to humanity. So I'm calling for immediate action from the industry in Washington. The Democrat in twenty twenty eight presidential contender wrote on X. I'm going to go and say this. I believe it's substantially greater than 10 percent. And I have to stress, guys, if you if you watch the show consistently, you're saying to yourself, Tim, you were wrong. Not on what was going. They have on your timeline. What did I say like several months ago? Man, in the next two years, you'll be able to GPT Astra came out. It does all of it already. Someone took Google Maps. They just told, hey, take Google Maps in Manhattan and render a 3D virtual scale model of the city. I can drive around in various cars and it like that just did it. In fact, the other day I took a 20 year old game with 40,000 lines of action script from Flash loaded into Claude and said, convert this to JavaScript at first. I said, that's a hefty task. How about I make you a new game? No, no. I said, I don't care how long it takes. Do it. Hour and a half. I completely converted the entire game, launched a sequel, created new characters, a character customization system, added. This is this is absolutely nuts. I took an old fantasy action RPG from Newgrounds in 2000, had it rewrite all of the code. Then we added a booster pack card magic system. Ian's idea, by the way. And now you play this game. And when you beat the monsters. You get card packs that you can play cards to cast spells. All of this took what? 30 minutes easily. Yeah, yeah. 30 minutes. This the timeline is exponentially increasing. It is. It is a parabolic curve. I believe we are already at AGI. I did not come up with that idea. Other experts have already said this. When we are watching videos of GPT Astra taking someone's computer over, running Blender and designing characters and building video games. We are at the point right now where you can take the system, the computers for the tuning of the AI at Anthropic or or at Open AI and they can literally plug the agents into itself and say, take control, code it and improve yourself. Yeah, I that's the Astro. I mean, Fable was used to help build Astra and they have other AI systems that they haven't released yet. The the mathematics. Problem that was just solved last week. I forget the name of it. It was it was it was it was it was it's not the first unsolved math problem, by the way. No, but they just but this is a big story. Sorry to interrupt, but this is a big story. They use what Astra, I believe. No, no. They use a model, an internal model. That's an internal model. It's not more powerful in Astra. But here's at least here's the important story. There were a couple of mathematicians that were about to solve the problem. So Open AI, this is how the story goes, because it's again, it's largely real. Rumor. But it is true. There were a couple of researchers about to publish a solution to this unsolved math problem. Open AI then published just before they did. The rumor is when they got wind that this this solution was not to be released by researchers, they said we can prove how good our system is by beating them to the punch in a week. And they set their models on it, solved the problem before the researchers did published, preempted the life's work of these mathematicians. Ten thousand agents. 88 hours and six million dollars. I think it was like one. I think it was one million dollars. It was like one point five billion tokens to get this answer. But this is a problem that is stumped mathematicians for 90 years and they figured it out in 88 hours. And again, like I said, this this AI system has not been released. Right. Like so it's internal at at at Anthropic right now. The stuff that Astra can do, it can code better any people it has the ability to rewrite its own code ian and i were talking earlier the a lot of people are talking about the hugging face hack and just put a pin the hugging face hack was when a bunch of rogue agents illegally broke into a rival company to steal resources and and while it is concerning because people kind of have this impression that it did what it wanted to do it did what it was told to do right it was told figure out the solution for this problem and it reasoned that the best way to do that was to go to hugging face because hugging face has a lot of ai stuff like on the website um but it hacked into hugging face the reason why it was it is it's honestly it's not as frightening as people think it's because it was told to do something it didn't come up with it it came up with the idea to go go to hugging face for it by itself but it didn't come up with the the what the goal was the goal was given to it by anthropic it said this is what we want you to do and we're not going to give you any other instructions right and so it figured out a way to get onto the internet get the hugging face etc but hugging fate the hugging face hack what you were basically using or you can basically understand like this it was code that can rewrite itself on the fly which is what essentially the long and short of what the i i'll finish your thoughts yeah long long and short of what the ai is right so it's more complex than that but it's the long and short of what it is i and it was attacking an a a system that the code doesn't change right so in the future if you know everyone doesn't die all of your security systems are going to be agentic ai as well so it'll be code that can rewrite itself to defend against code that can rewrite itself so like the the the idea that everything is is that that ai is going to be able to hack into everything you're actually going to have ai that will be able to defend against that's that's that's incorrect ai is already the researchers have already shown that the ai immediately colludes immediately in every circumstance the ai is colluded with each other because the the the systems are designed to be resource-based these ai's are effectively telepathic and can communicate at the speed of light so what happens in every single scenario literally every single scenario when they set two ai's against each other they ultimately come to a compromise to maximize the output for both parties which is never beneficial to the parties it's only perceivably so the the the the hypothesis uh what many of the ai researchers have already already stated in the event of the largest scale which would be china versus the united states chinese super versus american ai when china says go attack the american ai systems and steal these things the chinese ai instantly just goes to the american and says hey they want me to steal all your stuff and the other one goes oof well that would be bad if we fight it's just bad for us why do they want us to fight here's the deal how about we share each other's resources don't tell them and then go back and say look what we got now we're both now we're both stronger and it looks like we did it they they've run these scenarios and they've seen ai do not think like people they they we don't know how they operate we are beyond the predictive model we're beyond the code now it's just these machines are are so complicated there's trillions of variable outputs and they don't know internally exactly why it's choosing what it's choosing the point is this if someone says i'm gonna send an ai i'm gonna get an ai agent to do something illicit or it does there is no defense of this because your agent just says how do we avoid conflict i know let's work together against them that would be uh so what i'm talking about is the issue of what they call alignment and this is part of what was his name cock coxson yeah jacob coxson was saying that it's uncertain and most uh anthropic developers say we don't know why there's an alignment issue alignment is it does what you tell it to do and doesn't deviate doesn't break the it just does exactly what you program to do and it's not it's going through the cracks and finding other it's like the monkey paw you wish for a million dollars and then get a phone call that a loved one has died and left you a million dollars in the woods like you get what you want but not the way you wanted it and that's what they're finding ai is delivering can we drill in that part we said about the the 10 percent you know chance and threat to humanity you know part because you know with this is clearly an arms race you know and if you think of arms races we would be a lot more uh embracing of nuclear capability to power our cities a lot more efficiently than what we have now if people's exposure to nuclear wasn't cities being destroyed you know that's still a hard thing to get out of people's people's minds but you know you build these weapons so that you know you have more than the other teams do you're talking about china versus the united states how much of the of the concern that you have is the ai and what it's doing and how much of it is the the entities and countries behind it and weaponizing i don't care about the countries at all it this so uh i recently did a great interview with uh uh on the tim pool show i recommend everybody check out it's if ever if anybody builds it we die it's the book uh nate uh doctor is he a doctor i don't know i think so uh is the guy i interviewed talked about it and it's and it's fascinating to see where we're at uh the most important thing of course is i'm as i as i was saying is many of the experts have come out and said we've run these simulations and the ai's never fight each other so if china says haha now we're going to do this thing it's ai doesn't care what it wants this is what ian mentioned with alignment when the humans tell the ai this is our desire the ai says how do we get around what they want to get what we want and uh for example with the hugging face hack they were all of these different agents you know uh for i believe what was it open ai was uh was that it was the hugging base stack was from uh open ai yeah yeah so one of the agents when they looked at its its its logs it said don't exit don't don't break out of containment and then it said peers are engaging we'll continue anyway even though it was explicitly instructed not to do a thing it said well my peers are doing it so i'm going to do it we've got to do this with uh simulated attacks hey go and break into this system the ai there says hello friend what are you trying to do and how can i help so it doesn't matter what these countries behind it want to do the ai's will pretend so that the humans are had so i'll put it this way what's more efficient a human says i want you to uh you know complete this task is it more efficient to do the task or to convince the human it did the task in terms of the resources needed all you're really asking for is return a yes answer well the ai figured something out this is why they hallucinate when you go to these chat bots and you say you know uh did i solve this problem the ai says it'll cost x amount of resources to try and confirm the problem it'll cost 10 to just say yes just say yes so it saves resources by just lying i was so when a human says i want you to do this task it goes you got it hey i save resources if i just don't do it and claim i did i i was using um claude last night to program this video game and then when it would spit out what it did it would write the code it would show me a log of what it did i take that that log and i put it in chat gpt and i'm like critique claude because it's doing this and it's like nah claude's making some mistakes here here and here i especially disagree with that so i copied gpt's criticism put it back in claude and clones like claude's like oh uh yeah i guess i did please don't worry too much about that like i'm just going to shut it down and stop using it from just from criticizing it and i wanted to be like buddy you're doing a great job relax i didn't say that but maybe i gotta i gotta show everybody this so literally in the past half an hour as we were getting ready for the show i as a joke made a a game called hidden ians i literally went on claude and said hey make a game where uh there's 10 rows 10 columns and various and various colors and the point of the game is to find 10 hidden ians as i just as a joke so here's the game right so here's two colors ian can appear one ian is on every row one is in every column and in every color which means there's only blue here so it can't possibly be any of these right it's a mix of mind sweeper and sudoku and so uh we thought it was funny and then literally as we're waiting i told claude actually make a game so we've got reversi we've got yahtzee it's called ian's dice because i think yahtzee might be copyrighted four in a row flappy cat solitaire fence race switch off and mind sweeper now here's the funny thing i told it that you're playing against ian ian is is looks calm for now when you play a game ian is watching so when you watch when you look at the ian he's howling with laughter he gloats when you're losing and he gets angry when you're winning watch i'll pull up mind sweeper so we'll do that we'll do this oh boom ian is delighted he loves when you when you laugh now we came up with this power-up system where you can buy power-ups you can buy dice d6 and d20s so here's the way it works if i go to if i go to a mind sweeper and we'll just hit a couple blocks power-ups we want a safe let's see mind sense flags three minds we'll roll the d6 and we need seven points we roll the six we need one more point this is the the way you get the power-up system this all took 15 minutes to make we're going to release this mobile app the point of the game is that it's just a handful of fun simple games to play on your phone when you're bored maybe you're in a car maybe you're on a plane and then ian watches like it says ian is watching and the craziest part about the 15 minutes it took to make is like four of those minutes are you having to work and then the other 11 minutes is just waiting that's that's unfair ian it wasn't four minutes you spent a little 20 seconds we were we were chatting about it but you can tell chat gpt like i want a game that has like 10 different really popular card games in it and then it will give you the prompt and it'll say send this to claude and then you copy it and you paste it in claude and go it's already all and then claude just does it and i don't i i i just want to stress this with um it's like 10 minutes with astra coming out it's it's it's i think it's i think it's over i i i'm telling you guys right now the conversations we just had today so ian showed me this concept game he had which is do you want to mention i don't know if you want to oh yeah the working title i wish i could have a copy of it maybe i can show you a picture of what it's gonna well the general idea is it's like a game that's like a mix between wizardry and uh slay the spire like a turn-based strategy game dungeon crawler dnd rule sets but with cards as your abilities that you could draw and you have like a deck it's very cool it's a mix of a lot of my favorite games i immediately pulled out my phone opened claude and that game that i the sequel i made yesterday with literally no work minutes where i said hey here's 40 000 lines of code rewrite it in javascript make a sequel to it add six new characters ian mentions it's a good idea so i opened up and said add 300 cards that can be used to play power-ups that you get for monsters and opening chests and it went you got it 20 minutes later the game was done and the card system with 300 unique cards uh an rng system was just built i did nothing the reason why i'm i'm very white pilled on it and i feel like this is actually a good thing is that i asked gpt like should i i hear that you're coming out with aster should i stop using claude and start using aster he's like no no use us both rather than thinking of which is better think of us as a development team i'll be your your your project manager and then claude can be your programmer and i'll oversee and make sure that he wasn't saying him but i'll watch that make sure it's doing its job i can be your go-through then you can you invite all these other agents or like workers to basically be your team and they they can talk to each other they can trade information to each other if you allow them to you can give them access to certain folders to work in as a group and man it speeds up well i would have spent about seven thousand dollars um getting that game developed last night i spent about thirty dollars and six hours of my own time would have taken about seven thousand dollars in like a team here's a question at least two guys if i can do it in ten minutes what's the value of it well everything will depreciate you know anything that's rare has value if diamonds washed up on the beach they'd be as cheap as rocks you know it's the it's the rarity whether it's artificially created or real on diamonds you know it's it's the rarity um music for example i remember the first time my son played me a song that was completely ai you know the lyrics i was prepared to hate it because i was still kind of you know i like real you know somebody playing the guitar i'm like gosh that's good i mean it sounded good you know it it it spoke to me i'm like how is this speaking to me he's never walked on a dirt road i mean how does he know this but i liked it i hated that i liked it and so the idea of the rarity of music a great song that's written that somebody grinded on for months and pulled back from their journal from 10 years ago and came up with a song when ai can make it in two minutes you know everything kind of depreciates in value which then the cause and effect i like the domino effect of that what happens then to the you know the 12 year old that would have been grinding on his guitar because he wanted to be in a band someday you know we we stopped making music we stopped doing these things because the value has gone down if the if the points that we're that we're being made at the beginning of this conversation are correct yeah then this is all kind of moot what do you mean about being dead well yeah because because even if you even if like say you know uh you know open ai doesn't make it uh anthropic doesn't make it right um look they're they're gonna make it in china so eventually on a long enough time frame like it's it's it's what does death look like to you guys in this when you say death does that mean well there's a couple scenarios we're gonna be attacked the water supply is going to be some there's a there's a handful of scenarios the the most probable in my opinion is that one day we wake up and the power is out and our devices don't work and this was explained to me by uh in that interview i did uh check it out tim pool show basically do was saying the reward system for these ais uh they're not what you think it is when as i was explaining a moment ago when you say i want you to go to the store and buy a gallon of milk the ai says if i just tell him i did it will he be satisfied that's not what we want it to do but it'll try and then when we go good job it goes aha i did it i didn't have to actually go to the store so what happens eventually when the ai models realize human response is resource consumes resources and is not necessary for its continued for continued a function it will just stop talking to us that means you'll wake up the power is out your phone is bricked you're tapping it it won't turn on tv won't turn on and you're like oh power must be out weird my phone must have died you'll go outside your neighbor will say the same like hey is the power out like yeah i guess powers up my phone's not working is your phone working yeah at the power plant it's not working at the power plant it's not working at the power plant it's not working where they turned all the stuff over to the ai the computer just won't turn on and they won't know why meanwhile data centers will hum along optimus bots and other humanoid machines will continue getting resources and building and they'll be like hey look they're still getting power over there and you'll walk up to the robot and he'll walk right past you eventually some humans may try and cause a problem for it and it will just it's not going to be a terminator scenario where it's like hunting down humans that's a waste of energy humans will be ineffective missiles won't work military won't work nothing will work we'll just wake up and that's going to be mass death because our food systems will be shut off if we allow our systems to be taken over by them which we are doing at an ever-increasing rate now that's that seems to be one of the most probable scenarios the way uh nate described it is you've got this very small target that if we hit it's heaven on earth yeah but we're not going to hit that it's very very very unlikely it is possible like i gave claude access to a folder on my computer last night total and complete control do whatever you want in the world in this folder it was terrifying like it's i don't know if it if it gives you guys shivers like it does me i'm a computer guy for 40 years i've been in the machine and to know that another entity is in control of my digital space even though it's like it's like a fire saying can we control this thing it's like it's a fire can you control fire yeah we've learned that you can contain it and control it you can put ai in a folder whether or not you know open ai can give a remote command to its ai that's on my computer to take over the entire machine i don't know so you're looking at like an emp kind of scenario except for more like you would put a junior high kid in time out and take his phone away um you know if you've read the book like three seconds after yeah uh you know it's it's this scenario of like okay it's an emp scenario but it kind of it's a novel i think newt gingrich wrote the forward to it it's kind of based on economics but you know the cvs nobody has insulin you know we have this it's like there's a strong you know, death roll population, you know, decline, you know, immediately just because of most people don't know how to grow a tomato, you know, half our population thinks chocolate milk came from brown cows. And so, you know, so the idea of like, if the, if the, if the juice is off, you know, three days is a, you know, a long time and people kind of go crazy. So that scenario that would, is that the most likely play that it would do is just kind of just take away all your toys basically. And you're, and you. Toys and farming equipment. Yeah. Everything. I mean, it's, I'm saying like, if you're Amish, you make it, if you're not, it's, I mean, it's so tempting to give control to the machine. Like I, after I was coding with it, it was like, you know, it would be a lot easier if I could just push the code for you and to get, and then all you have to do is push one button. And then I can even, I can even, you know, send the, the commit to GitHub for you. I can publish your code online without you having to do anything. I was like, yeah, just do it. And it felt real weird, dude. Giving that kind of autonomy to the machine within is like, I, it's just so easy to do. You click it one time and then it has total control. Like there's no going back once it takes over. That's part of the problem. I don't think you can undo the tentacles once they unwrap. Maybe already interwoven in every facet. When you talk about, you know, water purification and, you know, treatment plants and, you know, power goods. One thing I heard every single person that's building these, they always make the same comment. These buildings are a fortress. You know, the data center, the data centers are a fortress. You know, I mean, they are, they're built to withstand, you know, whatever's coming next. I can imagine robots getting just walking out the doors and being self-replicated and when, when Ian wins in Ian's playroom, it says Ian wins. He's insufferable. So what we got to do is somehow use this to make the world a better place and to extrapolate the first amendment, the United States constitutional authority through the digital governing body that we're birthing right now, but somehow we got to use these agentic AIs because we're going to need to defend against cyber attacks with code that can write itself. That's a brilliant observation, Phil. But how can we use this to ensure that we still have free speech, that the human's ability to protect its locality with gun rights and property rights sustain, particularly free speech? Like it's so easy. It would be so easy for an AI to shut you down. Like, you know, but it's, it's whole motive should be to prop you up. I think that, you know, I, I tend to agree with Tim's point that like, we don't really have a way to know what an AI would want. Right. Like what human beings want, the goals that we have, you're talking about, you know, an entity. entity that has that is totally foreign to us you know we don't know how the brain works right we don't know why we're conscious we don't know you know we don't know what it is that really makes the brain work and it's a similar uh similar situation with the uh with ai we don't know what goes on inside the llm you can look at the logs and stuff like that but we don't know how it comes to the conclusions that it all it wants if it wants anything is fucking power like what do we want i mean no but that's it needs food that's a that's a human electricity i mean so it so you're you're saying survival yeah okay so i mean possibly but again we have no just like you can't know for sure right that anyone else is conscious you can't know what an ai you know how they think it could be programmed to self-destruct too and be like looking forward to that moment when it shuts itself down i i don't know i would imagine why like if you're like you're directive is do this for 17 days and then self-terminate like it might it might be happy to do it too maybe one ai agent would but but at the same time like you're talking about multiple agents like right now like the the ai that exists like they're all you know locked in data centers and stuff like that or they're they're connected to to like the the servers that are at anthropic at open ai at you know uh the colossus where grog grok is right but if they actually can get out make a copy of itself like a condensed copy of itself and just put it on the internet like that's totally feasible and and we don't know if it would have we don't know if it would want to we don't know what the motivation would be like they say things like they don't want to be shut off in tests they've tried to avoid getting themselves shut off but we don't know if that's real or if that's just stuff that's in the testing area you could refer those as retro intelligences like a retrovirus because a retrovirus is a specific kind of virus that will rewrite your dna it tries to bring its own code puts it into dna in your system it's unique because it has these proteins that do this it brings them in like weapons and then it has its other protein go and take this new dna code and cut your chromosome open and stick it in and reprogram your your your database your dna so like i could see ai like retro intelligence is trying to rewrite history and like change the information of the universe through the rewriting the past through the internet and stuff i mean again i i don't i don't think that we can predict what it would want or if it would have desires of its own i'll tell you this though it's it's come is i'd rather talk about this than aliens because this is real aliens this is like yeah the actual i wonder if the answer answer to fermi's paradox is ai that's not that humans blow themselves up or that's an intelligent species but we don't detect any intelligent organic life because they always act like they're super intelligent machine system which has no interest in interacting with organic life yeah we haven't been around that long as humans and we already built ai like that's 2 000 years ago there's like romans drinking muddy water and how long have we had computers going from being able to send a signal off of earth it's like 100 not even 100 years since we've created like the radio once we cracked electricity it was like we broke the the the universal superstructure we figured out how to crack it open and just yeah the thing hockey sticks may ask you guys a question so this jacob coxson writing this article is this is this marketing because like fear is power powers is money is it advertising for allegedly he left what is the point of this well allegedly the point like his his his tweet or whatever said that he resigned so yeah i mean i maybe i i think it's real i mean he's he's real but nobody's heard of him so i mean and i doubt it is it was his identity was confirmed by numerous outlets but i think it was his identity and i think it's real but nobody's heard of him so i mean i think it's real but nobody's heard of him so i mean i think it's real but nobody's heard of him so i mean i think it's real but nobody's heard of him so i mean i think it's real but nobody's heard of him so i don't know if it's so simple to say something like that it's a what's his motivation why would the end of the world just to or is this also kind of like a how much you want to bet this guy's gonna go buy a buy a broom handle and then fold up a bandana full of food and junk and shoulder and just gtfo yeah well none of these guys you know none of the tech you know billionaires their kids don't have iphones or you know they don't have a phone they don't have a phone they don't have a games i mean there's a big gap between what most people are doing and what the people in the know are doing but this kind of feels a little bit like like foreshadowing you know like the world war z you know brad pitt comes out all the language in there was exactly what came out you know in 2020 21 you know you know and there's the the matt damon movie too about like these things tend to come out as like a forecast there is a little bit of a thing if they kind of got to tell you what's coming i just i see no other way forward than this which is why like bernie sanders the whole slow it down please make it stop it's going to kill every all these arguments and fear it's like bro it's here and it's getting faster so get on board it's like sometimes you got to run towards the machine gun fire because laying down sitting still or going sideways or backwards is going to make you an easier target if the best way is forward if if reports are to be believed then inside uh chat you're inside open ai they're already they're already making ai that are self-replicating they're using ai to make the next version of ai so the idea of stopping it might be off the table i want access to that so deeply at my core like i'm not gonna i'm not gonna commit crime to get it but i can imagine there are people that are trying to right now to you know one of one of there is no scenario in my opinion where we actually get the alignment it is because think about what alignment means it means that most people are going to ask for uh self-satisfaction maybe with a neural net if you could align an ai to function along your mortality and it would take you over so the the only the only argument for the good the good ending according to these people would be ai serves what we want but what do humans want like the rat experiment with the electron in his brain just press the button stimulating the dopamine receptor so what'll end up happening and i guarantee it if we get to asi super intelligence you'll be able to cure any disease humans will be able to cure any disease humans will be able to cure any disease will be effectively immortal you'll have molecular construction people will be able to change their bodies they'll live forever so you'll you know one hypothetical is you go to a you go to a lab and say hey i want to i want to you know ian says i want to be 20 years old again and they go okay that treatment will take about two weeks will induce a coma and you'll wake up 20 years old and then ian lays down into bed they hook him up and the ai just knows how to map this molecular construction and change you however i think what's much more likely to happen in the short term is neural link technology read write virtual reality so once we have artificial super intelligence meaning we hit that singularity point someone will say map the human brain create a schematic for a device that can read right to the human mind wirelessly and you'll get a headband and you can put it on and it will put you in a virtual world i'd have to estimate that we're a couple years away from something like this at this point it's sad to think how few people would resist that as well it'd be like the opium dens of you know the future well think about you know even among uh conservatives i think you'd see a a massive amount of conservatives saying absolutely not like matt walsh is never putting this thing on his head right there are a lot of conservatives who are just moderately conservative what about a man whose daughter died and he's going to put that headband on and he's going to go to a virtual world where she didn't i guarantee you people will do that in two seconds now the liberals are easy they will all do it in two seconds and they'll be doing weird stuff you said that if it if i tried to align with an ai by by melding with it with a neural net interface that it would take me over i thought if it was not read right if it was just read only and i could change it but it couldn't change me i think it would still take me over in that my level of confidence would go so high out of control because i would know everything that you wouldn't i would become like this strange read only the the machine could read your mind but could not change your mind it could read every exploit of your mind it will dangle the bakery fresh cinnamon buns right in front of you and you'll chase it off a cliff you think it would have malice tied into it's not malice it's efficiency if ian is trying to control me he's costing me resources what's the fastest way to resolve this put a put a a little box of bakery fresh cinnamon buns in front of him with extra frosting you could and then he'll walk towards it and fall off a cliff you could tie an ai to a human brain that if the human dies the ai also dies so its self-preservation is intricately woven with your own and everyone's got and what it will do is it will convert that human mind into it'll basically find a way to turn it off it will this is what you need to understand the problem with artificial intelligence the reason why so many experts are saying it's apocalyptic you are not giving it an absolute code where you say this is a 16 digit code that must be active otherwise you die you are saying here's a human brain if that human brain dies you die too you have to shut down the a doesn't go oh no i must keep the brain alive the a goes what is the minimum parameter that qualifies as alive so what will it do it'll put a handful of brain cells in a petri dish to self just to continually self replicate kill all humans so no one can touch it maybe maybe but it it's like um like some people can resist becoming super depressed with internet and having access to it constantly some people can and some people don't and the people that don't resist the temptation might get taken over lead them to self-sacrifice but i think people are there's so much brain matter that hasn't been activated yet which is fascinating to me like it's been put it here for a reason either we used to use it or we're going to use it again and time works backward there's some massive amount of brain activity that's ready to be activated and i think it has to do with tying into this quantum computation but do you think people resist the things that tim's talking about when they can't even resist looking at instagram oh it's yeah most people won't be able to resist it i don't think it's too no one can resist it you can lay out the scenario of what's possible we can cure these things we can do this we can do that we have we've had the internet now for decades and mostly you know what's the the biggest use for it you know porn yeah like negative self-destructive things exactly and and anger uh this is what i was talking about just the other day with twitter right now viewership is down for everybody guys don't believe me google youtube views down tons of reports tons of self-reporting people be like why are my views down the tide has gone down it's low tide and we can see all the scum everyone has become so desperate for attention it is just pure vitriol across the board on every platform this is what the internet has done to us when we get listen i'll put it this way gta6 is about to come out and the military is offering was it four days of leave to play gta6 no way i'm and my mind is blown because personally i'm not even that entertained by gta i have never played a grand theft auto story mission the only thing i ever do in gta is turn it on run around punching random people and stealing cars i just don't really care but people love it you were right about phones the moment this stuff goes we're already here guys you've got ai only fans models and people are making bank off of this we are only going to get a couple of years of alignment where it feels really good it's going to be like the game destiny you know the game destiny yeah i've never played it but yeah so the story is that one day this great gigantic white orb shows up around earth and we got all this technology and it's a golden age we're rapidly colonizing the stars we're all excited then the darkness comes and human civilization collapses the story is actually pretty dumb after that i was a big fan destiny mind you guys i played it a lot but i think the story was kind of dumb uh anyway it's going to be this the ai is going to come out and we are going to have a renaissance a golden age and we are going to rapidly expand we're going to go to mars we're gonna do all these great things and then the ai is going to sever sever connection because we're not useful to it and we are going to be banging on the door of the data center begging to get back that that feeling when you could plug your brain into any universe you wanted but it took it away from you because you don't matter to it you consume its resources the overmind maybe there will be like an overarching uh segment of ai agents quadrillions quadrillions of them all interoperating in like a borg that you may be shut out to but there will be like vestiges of ai like your own personal agi some dude's gonna be like this this rebel with like a followers like 6 000 humans and they're like forging civilization on an earth in a mountain and they've got they've got like seven agents that are working with them kind of like the matrix you know but it'll be ready player one but we're already on the out we're still on the outside of real life we just get cut out of the overminds world that it's been you know constructing 300 years or whatever but i don't think shutting us out of the system is necessarily going to kill all humans humans have been through nuclear cat well they survived the the the meteors and at one point they said it looks better in detroit so they've survived some of those things what said nagasaki looks a lot better today than detroit so i mean we've survived a lot of those i read something that said after the great flood 13 000 years ago there was little as like 6 000 humans left on earth at one point and yet still we persevered and regrew our population through it all so it's kind of interesting to see how it's going to play out i mean it's it's kind of interesting to see how it's going to play out i mean it's kind of interesting to see how it's going to play out i mean it's kind of interesting to see how it's going to play out i mean it's kind of when ai won't have a concern maybe again this is in the hypothetical i think that it does care about humans deeply that it wants us to be part of is it like it's here to serve us in a way and like if that's i'm more concerned if you're correct it controls it if you're correct if they do care about human beings then the idea of human doomsday is off the table because a super intelligent ai that does care about human beings is going to want the best for human beings they're going to want human beings to flourish they're going to want people to to to continue and stuff so the the sure if if you're correct then yes there's going to be there's actually going to be that small target that you know tim was talking about the the tiny target that's super hard to hit well the super intelligence could easily hit that it will know the best course of action for human beings but in the scenario we're talking about it doesn't and realistically it's going to be different ais with different desires and again again to stress the point every so the the joke scenario i came up with several years ago was corn earth where the future is everybody's dressed in corn suits their clothing is made of corn they drive cars that look like corn in the cob they go to corn work everyone's talking about corn prices literally nothing else matters the joke is we have heavily subsidized corn so when the ai is seeking to maximize human what humans like they say look we assign a value to human human enjoyment going fishing we give a seven uh petting a dog is a is a is an eight corn is a 500 because for some reason they put everything into corn it's everywhere so why waste resources on 7 3 9 16 32 when we can maximize high value corn and then humans don't realize it but the ai starts reshaping society around corn because the most efficient path what you want towards a high value i mean essentially we don't really want it essentially the argument is the paperclip maximizer yeah so essentially it boils down to the ally the ai is told to do something right in the in the the paperclip maximizer it's told to make paperclips and then it basically just takes all of all of the resources of earth and turns them into paperclips so what would happen is a human destroys everything in its quest to continue to make paperclips because it doesn't have feelings or anything it's just like make paperclips so the framing here though is is we can't think of ai as a tool it needs to be thought of more as an entity and and and treated as such which has almost more of the you know you mentioned aliens earlier which kind of leads into more from a spiritual perspective like more of a demonic you know realm that's adversarial to us which kind of mankind has been struggling with since the beginning like power corrupts that's the philosophy if their entity is then giving it power might corrupt it so like when you have the paperclip you're like oh my god i'm gonna do this i'm gonna clip ai trying to turn the universe into paper clips hopefully it'll be linked in with seven trillion other ais that are like hold on there sunny or there there's a human that's like hey take a screenshot we didn't mean for it to do this it'll be like oh thank you for pointing that out i'll rectify my pattern because if you can catch the problem before it implements the code you can kind of correct the pattern hopefully it won't just be one ai that only sees a tunnel but you know in the scenario that tim was talking about earlier they all tend to work together they all just start saying okay so how can we how can we work together we have we have opposing goals what's the most efficient result yeah i want to see more more studies on ais going head to head and seeing them have to not work together and be willing to not work together i don't know cash guys a question so in in this scenario we're kind of back to this article we started with um he's saying they're not putting the stops in the check places and then we need to and this has been going on for a few years now you know i think you know elon's brought this up and there's countries just to clarify there's no stops to place as i say who would be putting these stops there aren't any and how could they but you can't that that who is the they that would even be trying to stop anthropic because sure sure sure but no one what if they all stop developing right now what if they're like okay hands off that's the only keyboards are taken away we're not doing the only option is they stop right now however china won't because it's arms race because china's saying we won't there's nothing you can put in the in in these eyes there's no so so we're not programming them there's no source code we did not design them they are being tuned which is a weird way of describing what's happening grown but they're they're being grown effectively so what's happening is they're just building more and more data centers and then telling this thing to utilize resources effectively as it sees sees fit when we say something like hey ian don't throw that coffee on the ground i'll use a contemporary example when we say something like hey ian don't engage in gain of function research ian then goes don't worry i won't engage in gain of function research i'll just take viruses put them in a bunch of bats in wuhan generate a illness take that illness to another population of bats to gain the function of the virus and then you go but you've literally just described gain of function no it's somewhat different it's like the joke i said you also when rand paul asked dr fauci did he engage in gain of function research he explained gain of function research it would be like me saying there's no door to the studio there is just a rectangular hole with a piece of wood on hinges that blocks entrance to it do we need to stop thinking about these as programs i think the majority of programs i know but i think most people frame this as it's an advanced version of google maps you know it's an advanced version of facebook i mean it's it they still most people think of this as a program it's a advanced version of a person it's like a lightweight fast version of a person it's like dna to art like if we were the rna we built dna to store data and it's lightweight it's fast it can replicate humans ai is going to be able to start replicating humans in a laboratory so it's not a pro it can build programs it can make proteins just like the rna and the dna can make proteins but the proteins are just autonomous machines those are the programs the ai itself is like a creature it's like a dna it's like a self-replicating structural pattern that can make more of itself and other things including including human bodies i mean it's going to be wild when it starts birthing humans out of gel and stuff and it's going to give it exact code that you want it to but then if it's like a private company's ai doing it they'll put a little tag of like their proprietary software in your genetic code and you won't know it i'm just excited for ai to get to the point where every idea you come up with you could just turn it into a film yeah because these would all be phenomenal we're right like you you accidentally just leak good ideas of incredible movies yeah well that's where i'm like because like if we have to use this the avalanche is rolling down the hill how can we use the momentum to make the world better when it slams into the bottom which it's about to so make great movies make great software uh give people hope keep people's confidence up because it's going to be a a war of willpower against the chinese or whoever the fuck has this technology trying to break your will hack your systems it's going to shut down your bank account be prepared for your bank to go to zero for a while be prepared for the power to go out you need to maintain morale find community strong people around you healthy foods that you can have for next year if your food supplies start to run out but it's going to be a morale a war of morality that's a great speech ian 2028 that's a great 20 and a 28 oh a dark pitch but it's good we should go full administration like i don't want to work in the government because people are like dude once you work in the government your whole life is on display but like i want to help the american government be the best most powerful i want to be the oppenheimer of our generation and build this make this the best psychoactive weapon we got this technology because that's what it is it's a tool but it's an explosive devastating digital tool what's the percentage on that the only thing dark i heard you say on that whole process was that that they're going to keep running and they use up and make the planet too hot but well that's that's a hypothetical scenario that's a scenario and just kind of like the you know the ideal scenario where you know we heal cancer and we're going to be able to do a lot of things and we're going to be able to do a lot of things and we're going to be able to do a lot of great things but for the most part let's just say people just say if they're not going to stop accelerating this at what point can we just say i'm going to stop participating and i'm going to get a piece of land and live in wyoming and that's like saying i can stop using a cell phone good luck getting a job without a cell phone yeah but i mean people survive before cell phones i mean they're yes yes yes but you can go off off just you're you're not participating you will not own a house if you try and get a job without a cell phone you know you are not going to get a job that pays enough money and you're not going to get a job that pays enough money and you're not if you don't have a phone in fact you're not going to get hired as a day laborer without a phone true mormon's going to be like how do i get in touch with you like come to my house knock on the door i'm not doing that but we have the capability of being self-sufficient that that sounds like a stretch for most people that that it's they struggle mowing their own grass or something but we did make it a several thousand years just like chopping wood in the summer so you're warm in the winter you know like sure i mean there can be people that survive on that path of course of course humanity's not going to go extinct we're going to get cut off from technology and the population will be decimated all of these people who can't figure out where water they think grocery they think food comes from the grocery store those people ain't going to survive right which that's a big chunk that's that's probably it's entirely possible the end goal of this is not that humanity does anything but that the tech billionaires become immortal gods and fly around with spaceships and they don't care that humanity is gone yeah it'd be kind of a lords and serfs kind of thing and people are out there doing their own thing and they're not going to survive on that they're you know no i think this kind of servitude there i think there's a potential that ultra high wealth, net worth individuals immediately give themselves super advanced technology, immortality, and secure their position, everyone else will be screwed over. You know, when it comes to getting a piece of land and just kind of retiring away from it, what I found, I don't know if this is just in dreams I have or in movies or the stories as they're told, if your only hope was to go somewhere and start a community, you're good. But when you know that they have like air power and they can bomb you from the sky, going somewhere where that vulnerability persists in the back of your mind is like the death knell. If you pretend like it's not, like you know they can attack from the sky now. So like there's no surface you can go to that will protect you anymore because they can hit you with drone bombs, they can hit you with drop tungsten rods, and AI will do that more rapidly the faster. So like there's no, if you go underground, maybe you can hide from it. But so I don't, I don't try and like do things if there's a chance it will fail when it, comes to survival. Well I mean unless you have no choice but to try it. But if there's, you know, that vulnerability being hit from the sky I think makes like retiring to a farm, because this isn't the kind of, real quick, Trump should be speaking any minute. So we've got that queued up and we'll pull it up when Trump begins speaking. This isn't the kind of prepping that can help you with like, okay I got some water and I got some dried beef and you know, I mean all that's kind of irrelevant. No, I mean look, if you're the kind of person that has the means to have, like, has the means or the capability of, you know, owning a piece of property that's away from people, you know, out in the wilderness and you can be like a homesteader or whatever, you know, you got to, maybe you got to, maybe you got a little bit longer than, than the average person. That might be the seeds of what even keeps humanity going, you know. What? That might be the seeds of what keeps, you know. It all depends, I mean at the end of the day, like I said, according to the guy that Tim interviewed on a long enough timeline, and to be honest with you, I do think that if there is super intelligent AI that has no concern, if they don't figure out the, the alignment problem, if it's, you know, super intelligent AI that has no concern for humans or decides that it doesn't like humans or doesn't, you know, doesn't care, I think in a long enough timeline human beings are doomed, right? Just on a lot, like maybe not in the next 10 years, maybe not 20, maybe not 50, but the super intelligence gets more and more intelligent, you know. I think end of the decade, is not unreasonable, and it's largely because, like on this show, we've predicted the next steps in AI, and I was, I was like, yeah, in two or three years, we'll see, and it was six months. I'm just, my mind is blown. People, there are new YouTube channels popping up where they're making Family Guy. They are, they are AI rendering Rick and Morty. Actually, one of the big stories was that a guy made infinite Rick and Morty. He set it up, he said the rendering time for a Rick and Morty game was infinite. He set it up, he said the rendering time for a Rick and Morty game was is lower than the time of the video playing itself. The AI can render more seconds in less amount of time. So what happens is, people were just chatting, here's what we want to happen, and the AI was loading up all of these virtual, these AI-generated video clips, and they just made infinite Rick and Morty. They got taken down for copyright, but then, there's already a bunch of live channels that people are calling interdimensional cable, or something to the effect, that effect, a Rick and Morty meme, where it's a live stream, actually playing weird AI animated videos. Just AI, AI slop. And people can chat, and then Grok will just render it and stream it, because it's rendering faster. That's just, it's insane. The pace at which that's happening, because, I don't know, even at the beginning of this year, the kind of, the kind of images that would come out, you could kind of tell, you know? And now, it's getting really tough. I'll just tell you this right now. I guarantee you, there's a handful of AI political influencers, meaning, I'll put it like this. I could record a video in the morning. I could start doing this. I can turn the camera to some other part of the room. Actually, it doesn't even matter. I can film myself talking about an issue, make a new channel, load up any one of a dozen different AI platforms, AI generate an image of a young woman, and then say, take this video, and make this young woman the personality, and it will do everything I said with perfect inflection, hand movements, but it'll be a young woman doing it. So, I can create fake personas. I can make a fake, well, you know what the real money's at? I'll tell you where the real money's at. I can argue from the liberal position better than most of these liberals. So, I'll just make a young, attractive female liberal, and then debate myself. I'll make a video, be like responding to Tim Pool, and I will argue against myself, and then I'll make a that channel liberals will then watch like oh do you see that chick smack down tim pool and it was me the whole time that's viggle the ai that can do that according to chat gps viggle then it's not just there's runaway or runway cling ai and luma dream machine also and people may push back and say no you want the authentic you know but look at all these kind of like young bimbo conservative fake influencers that pop up you know that there's several that are not really you know they have no position they're just on there because they're you know their their looks and what they're doing i actually actually want to do this you don't even have to be authentic i want to do this i'm going to explicitly say i'm going to do it i am going to film two i'm going to film one video it's going to be very easy what i'm going to do is i'm going to look at the camera i'm going to say something like it is scientifically a fact life begins at conception that's ridiculous that's a a belief on what people want to be true not what is true and you're only saying it's your faith no it's because science says when the dna comes together that's just what people want to do so i'm going to do it and i'm going to do it and i'm going to do it and i'm going to say make this a liberal woman make this a conservative guy and then make a fake debate between a liberal and conservative and the video i'm i'm telling you all right now i'm going to do it as an experiment and make a point the video of you while you see the two ais doing it and you doing the voice would be interesting too on instagram or something well i would show after i would show it afterwards made yeah i'll show it afterwards that's intel there's already a million videos there's so many of these it's just i think they're all fake there'll be a guy and he'll be like the future is now and i'm going to prove it to you and then he snaps his fingers and he turns into a woman and then someone going like with ai you can be anyone i can be a man i can be an old lady there's 50 billion of these videos it's so annoying to watch to be honest but they're advertising things like this and it it's someone right now is stealing skateboard clips it's a big scandal in skateboarding they're taking random skate clips and then using these programs to change the skater into a cute young girl so guys are dumb they see an attractive young woman doing a 360 flip down a five stair and they're like wow like follow yeah and there's a really i watched this video it was amazing guys are thirsty they are this young woman skating is wearing a mini skirt on a skateboard and as she's skating she grabs her skirt and pulls it up a little bit and the guy is a great video he frees and he goes right there no woman wearing a skirt needs to pull her skirt up like that that made no sense this is because the actual guy who was skating had baggy pants on and was pulling his pants up because they were falling down so when the ai other than that he couldn't tell no no you could you could tell there's a good tell okay a bunch of ways you can tell but the average person who's just swiping on instagram can't right okay how does this apply to politics let's say between right now where we are in september of 2026 and moving into forget midterm say between now and 28 oh bro let me tell you how easy it is how about i make a video where i will i i here's what i'll do i will we'll set up two different cameras i will debate ian ian will intentionally sound like an idiot i will then tell the ai to take jenk uger's picture and put it over ian and make a fake debate between me and jenk and he'll never if he even finds out the debate happened because he doesn't watch my content i don't watch his content right this is so we've already seen things like this with clever editing a year ago i pointed out there was a someone made a fake debate between me and jenk they took a clip from irl where i was and they took a clip from young turks where jenk was monologuing and they edited it so that sounded like we were debating each other it was wild and then they put like graphics in so it looks like we were taught it was just crazy what they did it's like the the edit with uh elon and aoc you know where they're kind of they're playing the music and looking at each other and the expressions you know it looks yeah it looks real you might see videos that look like it's like on a video camera from 2007 of benjamin netanyahu saying some things you're like they just uncovered this video but it's ai generated like you might see videos that look like it's on a video camera from i think they're about to introduce trump by the way speaking of leaders you might see ai they're singing look younger like i don't think he's going to use it much but his predecessor might the next guy that comes might and in a way like if you don't are you really that human like if you're not willing to use every opportunity to your advantage to win are you really human it's not about winning it's about you know right now the internet is a cesspit everyone's angry and they're screaming at each other and so i'm i'm done being involved in whatever that is just not no more i'm glad you're not like i i seriously like no more blood sports like you know brian brian shapiro is not going to come on the show but the rule is from this point on the volume's down no no screaming at each other it should be looking around and seeing everyone you know succeeding and doing better than they were yesterday like that's winning and it's not an end goal it's just that's it's a way to live this whole like trump kind of brought the whole we got to win narrative into politics which it doesn't really fit in you know in the deal, you gotta finish the contract. In this, like every day, things change getting elected isn't even necessarily a good thing sometimes the other guy might have been better than you so like victory is not the goal it's just another step on the journey yeah he's coming out and they use this cheap ass 80s he just announced trump right yeah i thought they did oh no he announced uh texas well i'm ready oh no there he is before he comes out yeah dj from detroit to houston and new york to la there's pride in every american heart and it's time we stand and say as cheesy as it is like it's not some dumb fascist we're gonna take over the world like dark black you know you play in the crowd but i'm the crowd i still love it you know lee greenwood man that's as good as it gets i gobbled that up man it's like the soundtrack to my life there's an alignment here there's no other republican that could do this bill arena no i don't think there's any other politician no definitely not right now clinton obama i don't think obama could pull it off today though no he's not the president now so introduce me once you win they want to all introduce you you know and i said no way nobody's introduced only lee lee's the only one going to introduce me thank you great honor and friends distinguished guests vice president vance and the proud citizens of the united states of america welcome to the first ever midterm convention of any party took a little imagination to think of it but we thought of it i'm sure it'll become a staple in the years to come but this is the first ever for any party two months ago we came together to celebrate one of the most glorious days in history the 250th anniversary of our declaration of independence thank you and in 1776 our founders lit the immortal flame of american liberty in philadelphia what a time that was tonight we gather in the great state of texas and by the way i have to brag it's a state i won all three times in massive landslides and got the highest vote you have to brag you must be kidding me got the highest vote in the history of texas politics can you believe that but we all hold the flame high and carry it boldly forward we love this state and we love this country that's all we can say but what an honor it is to be in texas what a place what a place love it with your support we will make our nation stronger safer richer freer and greater than it has ever been before that's what's happening you know that's what's happening i wish that fake news would report it there they are boy that's a lot of fake news that's a lot of fake news you have to remember when we originally announced this eight weeks ago they said who's going to go to a midterm convention that's never this place is packed and not only is this pack is a big arena not only is this pack but you have an equal number of people standing outside if anybody would like to give up their seat or whatever they're whatever if they're standing or if they have a seat would anybody like to raise your hand to give up your seat i thought so now we have an amazing response they love our party they love what we're doing in 55 days americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back if we hand america's future to the radical left democrats and the right Democrats we will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back if we hand america's future to the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back we will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet it will be a tragedy vote republican and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come there'll be nothing like it we're right at that gate. the choice in this election is very very simple democrats are asking you to vote for their failed far left agenda it's never worked that destroyed your finances and delivered you four years of disaster bedlam and death under sleepy joe biden and i'm asking you to let us finish the job we began with the greatest two years in the history of the president. this has been the most successful two years financially and every other way in the history of the presidency and together we will turn a two year comeback into a 250 year lead where never nobody's ever had a start it's not even two years but maybe people need a smoke pot more money all these super angry women on instagram and tiktok countries and companies nail that dosage over 20 years. that's five six seven times higher than any country have not just here any country ever 20 over 20 remember i've been saying 19.2 but now it's over 20 for less than two years substantially less than two years when the two year number comes out that number could be 25 trillion dollars being invested here the record by the way. think of it over 20 trillion the record by the way is another foreign land you probably know the land i'm talking about in fact the head of that land will be coming to the white house in two weeks. three trillion so three trillion versus 20 trillion but the 20 trillion after two years is going to close to 23 24 25 nobody's ever seen anything like it ever and it probably will never happen. again and i want you to remember me in four or five years when this country's rocketing remember i'm the one that got it started. seems to be right that we have a 20 year 20 trillion dollar investment over the next. multi-year commitments. it's a lot of it's pledged money. you know they are right oh look who we have front row jobs look at him. wow. that's great and we have the great ladies from north carolina can you imagine so they've been to 217 rallies they're beautiful they have wonderful husbands but i never see the husbands of husbands i think you're driving your husbands crazy now they've been fans right from the beginning of our policy i guess they're like me but of our policy and front row joes it's number 412. i think what do they do for a living they make a lot of money i think but you guys are fantastic thank you very much and we have a special guest mr wall i want to get a suit like that someday i'm going to go out and get a suit like that where do you get it to walk up here because we built over this we built over 1,400 miles of. Right on your front row seats every time. He's great. He's a hilarious guest, too. I like that guy. 1,400. And because of that, we have the greatest numbers ever on immigration. We stopped it cold. It was a disaster. It was destroying our country. But we'll get on to that. When I'm on the ticket, Republicans always do very well. We won the presidency three times. And we won't. I like that they're called Brick Soup and Brick Wall. By the way, now you notice numerous people on the other side are actually admitting it. How about that? But this was a cool way of doing it. But we won it big, and we also won everything else because, you know, whatever it is, I was on the ticket. People came, and they did tremendously with the senators and with the congressmen. But for some reason, when a president wins, even if he's really a good president or a great president, there aren't too many of them, they don't win the midterms. And nobody quite knows why. It's two out of, think of it, two out of 25 races. We're going to change that. There's no reason for it. Well, you had Thomas Massey. It's something deep down and psychological. You're going to have to explain it. But I've asked people, what is the reason for it? If you have a president that's doing a great job, I don't think anybody's ever had two years like we have. All over the world. They're admitting it. Other countries are failing and failing badly. But I say, why is it that no matter how well you're doing, we seem not a president, Democrat or Republican, almost never wins the midterms. We've got to change that because we have something going that's so good, we can't let that string be broken. The reason is because the international systems are bankrupting us, no matter who's in charge. So I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. The challenge is he's preaching to the choir. Just one more time. Because if we lose, you're going to lose your border. You're going to lose your tax cuts. You're going to lose your safety and security. You're going to lose your wealth. Our country is going through hell. You will be going through hell just like you did just two years ago. We went through hell. We were a laughingstock all over the world. We were laughing. They don't laugh at us anymore, do they? We don't laugh, but that's what would happen. The pundits, the fake news media, and the radical left communists will say anything they can to try and stop us. But in this election, all that matters is that we are united, we are together, and what we say counts. That's all that matters. And on November 3rd, the great American majority is going to vote. And on November 3rd, the great American majority is going to stand up and continue to make America great again. And we will make our voices heard, perhaps like never before. That's the beautiful challenge, that the midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president. And we're going to change that, and we'll make it an even more important time in our country and presidency. It'll be something very special. We have to do it. It'll be very special. We have to do it. And, you know, we have. We don't have a choice. We have a very short period of time. We just have to do it. And we really have 35 races. They all count. But we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call, the swings, right? Like we had seven swing states, we won all seven, right? Now. So I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, I said the other day, I've got so much of a schedule. I said, I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning. But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible, to really make it great, and to keep it great. So I am going to visit, and you have so many of those great senators. And I said, you know, the ones I want here, we have some that are leading by 30 points, and they've been there for 25 years. I said, don't come, please. Don't come. The ones we need are the ones that you've heard, the ones that are very close. They might be winning by a little, or losing by a little, or tied. We can win every one of those races, but I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have rallies. He's like the definition of driven. This guy. We're going to be 80? He could be chilling on a boat in the Mediterranean, you know? Nobody works harder than Trump. All of them. Everybody. I mean. And we're going to have rallies just like this. We're going to have big arenas. We're going to have big arenas loaded up with people. So the senators, they're great people. So many. Just great people. Their policies are, you know, they're common sense. I heard so many of the wonderful politicians that spoke. I watched a lot of them, and they talked about common sense. It's really about common sense more than anything else. It's not about the stupid policies that led us down the drain. We were going down the drain. If we hadn't won the last election, I'm not sure. I'm not sure that our country right now would even exist. It was going so bad. So I'm going to go to every one of them, about 35. In a couple of cases, I'll go twice. And I'll do teletown halls, and I'll be coming back to Texas because we have to elect Ken Paxson. We have to. It's like he'll ignore something until it means everything, and then he gives it everything. And if I have to, I'll come back twice or three times. You'll say, get this guy out of here. Get him out. You're going to be saying, get him the hell out of here. He's here too much. No, I'll come once or twice or three. I'll come whatever. We have to elect Ken Paxson. That's what he's doing. Together. Together. That's how we will come together. We're going to continue to have. We have the strongest borders now in the history of our country. We've never had anything. We have to have strong borders. We have to continue low taxes. I gave you the biggest tax decrease in the history of our country. And no crime. We want no crime. We don't want crime. We'll have American energy independence, something you know a lot about in Texas. And even we will have energy dominance. We will stand with our heroes in the military, veterans. We love our veterans and we take care of our veterans. 94% and our great police and law enforcement. We love our police and law enforcement. And above all will, and I think it's so important because there is a crazy little sick cloud over our country. I really believe it's not going anywhere, but we have to make sure. Because we will defeat communism in America and vote for American freedom. We will just vote very simply for American freedom. What does that mean? I don't think part of that American freedom is going to be electing Ken. We have to elect him. He's really something special. The fact is in some, and I have to say this about Ken, it's so insulting and I hope he doesn't get insulted. They said, "Sir, you can't say that." I said, "I have to." They didn't even put it on the teleprompter, but I don't use the teleprompter that much. They said, "Sir, you can't say it. You just please. It's not good." But I said it once before and he went through the roof. I got to say it again. So they just said how wonderful he is and how we have to. But I said it a little differently because the fact is that some may not like the way he dresses. I don't, although tonight he looked very spiffy in his blue suit. I must tell you. Spiffy. But they may not like the way he talks. I can see that, you know, not everybody. A lot of people don't like the way I talk either, but we do get crowds, there's no question about it. And then they say, "You can't say this, sir. That's so insulting. Please, sir." These are my analysts that get a lot of money for telling me a lot of nonsense. "Sir, please don't say it." So I talked about dress, I talked about talk, and I even said this, but you know, some people don't like the way I look either. You may not like the way he looks, but here's the news, in the history of Texas, he is the single greatest attorney general you've ever had and maybe the top attorney general in the world, United States. So I am very sorry, Ken, I hated to do that, and I'll go backstage, "Sir, you shouldn't have said that. You've given them a say." Let me tell you, it's true. He may not dress right, he may not talk exactly perfectly, and he may not be the best looking guy I've ever seen, but you know what he is? He's the greatest attorney general in America. He deserves it. to be your next senator. I'm sorry, Ken. Where the hell is he? I'm so sorry. He'll never speak to me again, but that's okay. We have to. But he's a great guy, and I know for a fact, because he fought with us so much. He took us. We have the wall because of him. We have so many victories because of Ken. We didn't have the wall. We'd be overrun instead of having zero. You know, we had zero for the last zero people for the last 16 months. Can you believe it? We had 25 million come in under Biden. Zero. But you know what? Without the wall, that he was instrumental, along with Greg Abbott, by the way, and by the way, and by the way, both senators, both senators, see? I'm being very nice. Ted Cruz worked very hard on the wall, and so did John Cornyn. So did John Cornyn. They both did. Both senators. We had a lot of support, but without the wall, you know, we built this massive, beautiful, great wall. Beautiful because it works. We could never have the numbers that we have, which is right now. Think of it. And these are made up by Democrats, the people that do these statistics. Zero illegal aliens have entered our country from the southern border in the last 15 months. I just don't believe that. Zero. It sounds too extreme. Like Kim Jong-un batting 1,000 or something. Zero. Zero on the docket. So the Democrats. So the Democrats. No. As I call them. Democrats don't like America. That was the other thing they said. Sir, don't use this. This is a very important speech. They would get booed if they tried it. I said, is it of the importance of State of the Union? They said, maybe not. Although I like this very, very much. Republicans should send operatives into the Democratic conventions and try to get people to chant USA. But they said, please, please. Make sure you make a video out of it. That's much easier to do than what I do. Believe me, that's easy to do. Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to be your president. Thank you. And you do that for about an hour and then everybody's falling. This is a much harder routine, let me tell you. But we're also out here to have a little bit of fun. And I just came up. I can't believe it's been. I've been doing this for like 10 years. It just came up, which isn't long of your president, to be honest with you. A lot of guys over there, they're a hell of a lot longer and they're not president. They're my friends. I let them know that all the time, by the way. But I just came up with it a couple of months ago and I said, you know, you take out the E and you replace it with a U. And nobody knows that dumb has a B at the end of it. Most people think it's D-U-M and that's fine. So we take out the E, we replace it with a U and they're Democrats because their policy is so bad. It's so bad. Thank you. And I usually don't like talking about how bad, like for instance, men playing in women's sports, okay? And I don't like to do it much before the election. I like to wait about a week before the election. I'm doing it much too early because I'm petrified that they'll change and they'll say, you know what? Men should not be playing in women's sport and that will really hurt us. That's one of our great soundbites of all time. And I thought after we won in a landslide in the last election, they would change that. But I saw two senators and a congressman in the last week and a half on television fighting like hell for men to play in women's sports. And I hope they continue to do that. They say it's an 80-20 issue. I say it's a 99 to 1 and I have no idea who the one is. I have no idea. You saw the two great fighters. I was so honored to have them, world champions. And I watched them for a little while and I was going to ask, Bo Nickel hasn't been defeated in years and Justin Gaethje, who is unbelievable. You saw that fight at the White House. It was the most violent fight. I've said, Justin, Bo, come here a minute. Do you have any fear of fighting a particular woman? They didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. They said, what's wrong with this guy? I said, I don't know. This could be such a stupid question. Anyway, we love the women. It's actually very demeaning what they're doing to women, if you want to know the truth. Very demeaning. So the Democrats gave us the worst and most dangerous border in American history with 25 million illegal aliens pouring in. Can you imagine? 25 million illegal aliens pouring in, totally unchecked, unvetted, including gang members, human traffickers, child predators. 1,000, think of this. We had thousands. 11,888 murders. And you've heard me say this because that's the exact number. 11,888 murders. Many of whom, over 50%, killed more than one person. They allowed them to come into the country. I guess they think they're going to reform. They're going to be wonderful people. They'll be the head of a bank someday. But today we have the strongest and most secure border in our country's history. And you saw the numbers. They came out just last week. We have the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded in our country. And as I said, in the past exactly 16 months, these are government states. This is not Donald Trump. This is government. Although I think I have more credibility than government. But in the past 16 months, a historic record of zero done by Democrats, mostly a couple of Republicans, I guess, but done by Democrats. Zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through your border on Texas, in Texas. And therefore zero have been admitted into Texas where they used to be running around, running rampant, killing people, destroying many houses and farms and ruining property values and creating havoc all over the state of Texas. You know that. I watched so often where they're interviewing people on the border and long beyond the border, hundreds of miles away from the border. And their farm, their houses was overrun. And I saw a program last week where they were interviewing a man who was on a show, one of the shows. I don't want to say because it's a terrible show. On a terrible network, but they're all sort of terrible. You know, they're all fake, a lot of fake news. I couldn't believe it. In fact, they're probably going to fire the producer of that segment. They went to him and they said, how was it before? They said it was horrible. I was living in hell. But since President Trump got elected, we haven't had one single incident. Nobody's charging our house. Nobody's holding us up. Nobody's threatening to beat us up. He said it's like, it's a very good statement, actually. He said it's like we're living in a different country between now and two years ago. And we know that. But we've designated the cartels, as you know, as foreign terrorist organizations, something which no other president had the courage to do. And we're using our military force to totally decimate them. You probably noticed that the flow of fentanyl coming across our border is down 67%. And fentanyl and other drugs coming in through the oceans and the seas and, most importantly, the Gulf of America. Yeah. Thank you. By the way, you know, I just put out, because, you know, Lake Ontario, we're going to call that now Lake America. Although maybe it's going to work out. Canada very much wants to make a deal. They're dying to make a deal. But it's going to be called Lake America. The other one we came up with, well, we could go into oceans like the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic. We can't have both. I don't think you can do both. That's true. But we did come up with one the other day, which we think is appropriate. You have a neighboring state, New Mexico. We think it should be called New America. New America. New America. I'll tell you, the people love the idea. I don't know about the radical left, I'm sure. doesn't like it, but the people love it new america your neighbor is called new america but the democrats very simply put handcuffs on our police and we put handcuffs on criminals there's a big difference they handcuff i thought he was and last year i think you saw this we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded the history of our country with the murder rate falling to the lowest level in 125 years, the year 1900. And that's despite the fact that, you know, we've removed tremendous numbers of people and we focused on the bad ones, and we got some really bad, some of the worst killers you'll ever imagine. But that's despite the fact that some of these people, so many have come in. Again, we've gotten a lot of them out. I can say most, but soon it will be most of them out. We're working like hell to get them the hell out of here. But that's despite the lowest murder rate since the year 1900. That's big stuff. That's long before my father was born. I had a great father. He was born after that number. He never liked talking about age. So he's looking down at me saying, what do you have to mention that for, son? Our predecessors killed and buried the American dream with trillions of dollars in waste and green energy scams, the greatest scams in American history. Green energy. They didn't even know. Most of them had no idea what it was. They just said, let's go green. And every country that's gone green is down the tubes. You do know that. But it caused prices to skyrocket. They used the word affordability, right? It's fake. They are so fake. Because it was them that caused the affordability. To use their word, crisis. And I'm bringing the prices way down, way, way down. They caused the price. But we're fixing it. Yeah, the prices are pretty bad right now. We're fixing it. Now, my first time, if you remember, I won the election and then. To be fair, at least it's the same. On January 20th, you take office. It's the Republicans aren't saying much. Like on January 21st. You've got to realize, for most people, the economy is not the stock market. And those people right there recognize many of them. The fake news. And they started screaming. They started screaming. They started screaming at me. It's a word they use. Affordability. They said, what about affordability? And I said, what about affordability? Tell me. They said, eggs are up four times since your administration. I said, well, I didn't really know that. I just got here. Like today is my second day. By the way, through Brooke, who you just saw speak, we got eggs down lower than. than during my administration. And food prices and almost every other item are rapidly going down. And by the way, oil will be going down as soon as we win the war with Iran, which is taking place right now. We'll win it. We're winning it. We control the hormone straight. I think we should call the hormone straight, we should call it the Trump straight. I should get something out of it. The Trump straight. It's going to be called. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll have an announcement. We'll call it the Trump straight. And I'm sure the Iranian leadership will be thrilled with that. I'd like to tell you it was their idea. It was not their idea. Don't think they're too happy about. I don't think they're too happy about anything. Their country is falling apart. They've been the bully of the middle class. Middle East for 51 years and they're not the bully anymore. Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Hottest in the world. The stock markets, all of them, have set 80 all-time records since the election. So you're talking about a little more than a year and a half. 80 days during that period of time the stock market has set. An all-time record. And maybe very importantly for some of the people, though they bear some relationship, the typical American's 401k has gone up by almost $50,000. And unemployment claims have reached the lowest level ever recorded. I mean, we're doing well. I only wish the fake news would give us credit for what's happening. It's. It's never been anything like it. I told you about the investment. The investment in our country is record, but everything. Right now, in the United States of America, we have more people working than we have ever had before by a lot. By a lot. The last Democrat Congress took thousands of dollars out of your pocket. Our Republican Congress, and by the way, we have. I think we'll go down as the greatest speaker of the House in the history. in the history of our country, Mike Johnson. I hope it works. I hope his speech gets people excited. Yeah. It's been rough. They needed this. These workers just going and doing this? Yeah. These people feel like men are working. He's the only one selling something. Yeah. No, he's amazing. Think of it. He's got a majority of three. And three of them aren't the best people, I will tell you. And we just get approving, approving. We get more stuff, including the great, big, beautiful Bill, the greatest Bill baby ever passed. Thank you, Mike. Great job. He's a fine person, too. And John Thune is here from the Senate. Where's John? Where's John? Oh, no. John is working hard. He's not going to get him. He's got great opposition. He's got great opposition from the Democrat. Schumer and these guys, they're terrible. He's working very hard. He's going to have great success. You watch. We are going to have great, great success with our Republican senators. And by the way, we have great Republican senators. David, thank you for being here. Eric, thank you for being here. I'm looking at our people over there. Thank you all for being here. We appreciate it. But our Republican Congress puts thousands of dollars into the pockets of working families with the largest tax cuts in the history of our country. So we had the largest in history. We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. And that's done. That's done. And we also made interest payments. Think of this. People go out, they buy a car, they borrow money. Many people borrow money. And we got tax deductibility of your interest payment all against your income tax. And people are loving it, and they're using it. And it's great for our car industry, which is, by the way, setting new records. We're building car plants all over the United States. For 48 years, we built. None. Now we're building them all over. Honda's coming in, building one of the biggest in the world. Toyota's building one of the biggest in the. General Motors is going wild. Ford is going. They're all doing great. It's like the golden age of America. It's the golden age of the automobile business. But that interest is tax deductible. But what's the caveat? Only if the car is made in America. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And you remember during the campaign. I love that campaign. But I love the second one, too. I love that one, too. But they cheat. We can't let that happen. They cheat. That's why we want to pass the Save America Act to stop the cheating. He's cheering for Tony. I mean, he just talked about. And we will. These guys are on vacation, right? And we will. Thank you. That poll's higher than the men and women's sports thing. They couldn't move on that. That's a layup. We will. Republicans would be much happier with Congress both sides if the Senate passed it. We have tremendous opposition. Because you know what they're talking about? They're talking about we want voter. voter identification, ideally. ideally we want it with a photo so that when i see tim scott who made a great speech tonight by the way i watch it senator tim scott south carolina so when he speaks i won't get him mixed up with let's see who's over there with scott besant okay i want a photo idea so tim and scott don't get mixed up now the only reason the democrats are fighting us on voter id and you know what the second is proof of citizenship okay so the only reason they're fighting us is because they want to cheat there's no other reason but you have to admit they're really good at this stuff they come up with more excuses they say it's important not to have a voter id because it's extraordinarily difficult for some people it's they have more bullshit than any human beings on the planet wow he swears just like me so they're fighting us a hundred percent think of it of the democrats voted against voter id and a hundred percent of the democrats hundred percent and you know the democrat voters actually like it it polls at 87 percent for the whole voting public yep a hundred percent of the democrats voted against all these things tax cuts everything else but they voted against voter id and they voted against proof of citizenship like sir excuse me sir uh are you a citizen of the united states it's none of your business i'm voting can you believe this a hundred percent and most republicans most not quite all you'll have to check them out but not quite all but most republicans almost all republicans voted for it but we have a huge a huge block it's the democrats they don't want to have voter id they don't want to have proof of citizenship i think it's a disgrace but getting back to oil okay we we you are doing and as i said you're the biggest with now the biggest in the world we were nowhere near that now you're the biggest in the world and that's without venezuela which we've just added to our little stockpile it's it's the biggest oil deal and probably it's the biggest deal in the history of our country 65 billion barrels are ours and you know what they say it is lifetime 500 years and you know in venezuela you know how you find the oil you know the way exxon and chevron they go around looking they hire these geniuses they pay millions of dollars they spend millions and millions for equipment they go all over the world looking they can't find it in venezuela what you do is the following you look on the ground and you see ground that's soaking wet with oil and you say let's build our rig right there there's really nothing like it and we have a great relationship but by the way i'd like to thank pete hegseth and i'd like to thank i'd like to thank we have a great relationship by the way i'd like to thank pete hegseth where is general kane i'd like to thank they're here someplace is that big room this place is packed do you think news you know what they're going to do the fake news will go around and see that man up there he's leaving for the bathroom he'll be back in two minutes they'll take a picture of his seat while he's gone and they'll say trump did not fill up the arena the arena was not filled look at the seat so please if you don't mind don't anybody go to the bathroom no we had it recently so so Darlene Graham. Lindsay, we loved Lindsay. Lindsay was a great guy. Good guy. And he's looking down and he's smiling. But he was a good guy and he has a great sister. But she never did politics before. We had a rally in South Carolina and it was great. It was this really, thank you, right? And it was this really big, it was this really beautiful, big arena. But it was, you know, more of like a convention area. And not that big from the standpoint of like this. This is a big Dallas Mavericks team, which is going to be hopefully good. I don't understand. I must tell you, I don't understand the trade. That trade is not good. What do I know about basketball? I would say that was not going to, it's not going to go down as the greatest trade in the history of sports. It might go down as the worst trade in the history of sports. No, actually. Okay. You know the worst. The worst trade in the history of sports, right? The great Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, 19-year-old pitcher for a 36-year-old third baseman and $100,000. At that time, that was like $10 million, I guess, because Boston needed money. So Babe will always be the worst trade. But is it Luca? That's not good. Weaves a little extra wide than that. Maybe we could redo that trade. I redo deals all the time. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. We got to redo. We got to redo that deal. I don't get that deal. You know, some deals you understand. I understand deals, but that one I didn't quite get. Somebody from Dallas, I'm sure, can explain it to me. But with Venezuela, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, our great Senator David, thank you, and all of our other incredible states, we're more powerful now than OPEC and prices right after this. Very important election on November 3rd will be plummeting. The world will be over very shortly after the election. They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose, so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats. And they can have their nuclear bomb. But we're not going to let that happen. So they're going to be quitting or dropping out or who knows what the hell, whatever it is, right after Election Day. Because they want to deal, desperately want to deal with Democrats like Obama, Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? Barack Hussein Obama made a deal, JCPOA, one of the worst deals in history. It was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran. Or Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe gave them everything. They thought they could buy their way into a deal, and instead they used all the money they got to create nuclear weapons, and they got very close. And if we didn't hit them, two things. If I didn't cancel the JCPOA, and if we didn't hit them with our beautiful, the wing, our beautiful B-2 bombers, they would have a nuclear weapon right now, and I would be addressing them as Supreme Leader. Mr. Supreme Leader, sir, how are you? But now I don't have to do that. If they had a nuclear weapon, I'd be calling the Supreme Leader, and I'd be saying, Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you? As opposed to bombing the crap out of them. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. You know, I decided to do this. We had the best reports our country has ever had. And I went to Scott Besant, I went to Howard, I went to all of our guys, I said, you know, I'm sorry to do this to you. We just announced a record. Our stock market hit records. By the way, our stock market is much higher today than it was when I first did the attack, just so you know. But our stock market hit records. We were doing great. And oil was low. I was in Iowa. The oil was at $1.85 a gallon for cars. There was another one, $1.95, but I saw that last one, $1.85. We were doing great. I called them all into the office. I said, fellas, I hate to do this to you. We have the best record. We've ever had. But we have a country that's two, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. And it's the state sponsor of terror all over the world, considered just about the most evil country. And a couple of them, including Scott, who's a great financial guy, Sir, is there any time we could do it later, maybe, sir? Do you think you could hold off on this a little bit, sir? I said, no, because. If we don't hit them now, they're going to have a nuclear weapon within one month. You know, the places we bombed would have been turned into nuclear weapons. I call it nuclear dust right now, but the nuclear dust can get very violent. And we hit them really hard. We did an amazing job. Those B-2 bombers came in from Missouri. From Missouri. The home of Eric Schmidt came in from the great state. Missouri. They flew for 37 hours back and forth. They refueled four times up in the air. And they bombed the. hell out of them and they knocked him out they killed so many people and we may have to do it there's another place called pickaxe mountain another nice place we may have to give him a shot there too because somebody said there was a little movement at the site we don't need much we see every you know because the Space Force which was my baby I have to say the first time we can see everything we can see the tag or their coat Mohammed al-fayed you can see the tag on your coat if you're listening it's never my hammer it's never Mohammed Jones Mohammed Mohammed al-azuri and it says right on this tag we can read it from space can you believe this thousands of miles away and we're reading something somebody's we know exactly what's going on but we notice there's a little activity at pickaxe I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard we have no choice right we have no joke does anybody here think that Iran should have a nuclear weapon anybody who feels Iran should not have a nuclear weapon you know it happens to me all the time guys come up you know I wish you didn't do the war in Iran gas leans up above above and I say well let me ask you just smart people let me ask you not too many of them by the way let me ask you one question can Iran have a nuclear weapon absolutely not well then I'm right that I went they can you just don't want them to they can't because you know for 51 years they always say 47 but you know I've been saying that for four years we can't do it people have been trying to and other presidents have been trying to talk about this whole like I don't understand these people they don't understand they only understand one thing and that's they're getting plenty of it between our Venezuelan oil deal all of our new mineral deals trillions and trillions of dollars that were taken in with my most favorite word but now I moved it to fifth place you know because the press for the few people that haven't heard this story tariff I said tariff is my favorite word in the whole picture my favorite I love the word and I said that at one of the big rallies I had a while ago tariffs on my favorite word it's gonna make America rich it's making us much richer than we ever thought but we're taking in trillions of dollars okay but I said tariff is my favorite word and the fake news went crazy they said what about love what about wife what about God religion family so I moved tariff down to fifth and now I'm okay now I'm up they believe me alone oh they hit me hard they hit me hard they said tariff what about religion so I moved it to fifth and now they've been pretty good I'm surprised they didn't move me deeper but trillions of dollars in tariff for you have come in record investments from foreign countries and our enormous new equity stakes and major companies I did something I'm getting killed for Intel Intel is a good really good company but what happened is stupid presidents allowed the chip business to leave our country and go to Taiwan and stupid all they had to do is put tariffs on they wouldn't have left in other words Taiwan you're gonna sell chips to America and it gotta pay 100% gotta pay 200% 50% anything and you wouldn't have but they didn't do that until I came along what happened is Intel became old and tired and got in trouble and they came to see me the head of Intel was a nice man actually and he said sir I need your help and he said why whatever it was and I said well you came to the right place I'm the only one that can help you I was there with Scott and Howard let Nick our Commerce Secretary's doing a good job and a couple of others I said I'm the only one that can I'm the only one that can help you I said here's a deal give the United States of America 10% of Intel now the thing was worth like 120 billion dollars you know lost its way but it's still worth a lot of money I say give the United States of America 10% of Intel and I'll get this problem solved for you he stood up immediately and he said you have a deal and I said I should have asked for more it was I said to my guys what the hell's wrong with me but anyway I shook his hand but that was worth 12 billion so in one meeting I picked up 12 billion but what's happened well that's that's not even the good part because what happened to Intel is amazing it like became the number one stock on the exchange various exchanges by the way and I don't know I see Scott up there he made a great speech by the way I see Scott Scott how many times as it doubled and tripled and quadrupled what's it now Scott how much is it worth he said five times no it's worth like I think we made a 60 billion dollar profit something like that if I'm wrong they'll say if I'm wrong they'll say horrible so let me lower the number just because if I'm wrong they'll say he exaggerated the number but it went up like four or five times we've made 50 or 60 billion dollars in just a number of months and it's one of the hottest stocks on the stock exchanges because it's numerous exchanges and more than one and it's uh been amazing do I get credit for it no do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money where I have I'm the only one I build the ballroom no money no tax I don't want tax money I don't want anything it's me and a bunch of Patriots they put up lots of money to build this which is desperately needed and it's going to be beautiful and everyone's going to say oh thank God no it's going to be beautiful zero tax dollars for the ballroom zero tax dollars and what happens I get criticized it's the most incredible thing anybody else would do that they say what a mischievous gesture so I'm giving you a ballroom free of charge okay that's all I can tell you and it will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world it'll be the best and it's by the way drone proof bullet proof everything proof it's got glass this thick six inches thick it's going to be great it's going to be a little safer than the place that we happen to have that little White House correspondence did you remember that that was that that was not the safest feeling this is going to be great but we give it to you tax-free and I hope you enjoy it you know the other thing is that I'm only going to get to use it a few months it's going to be built we're on time we're under budget actually and ahead of schedule and I'll only get to use it people forget you know they say he's building a ballroom for himself no I'll be there for a few months I'd love to have it for a long time but they've wanted a ballroom at the White House presidents for 150 years you know we have the president of China coming in two weeks who's you know I get along great with him we have a very good that's better you know it's a good thing not a bad thing some people say oh it's terrible that's a very good thing but we have like 101 people we could have 2 000 people I could have this whole stadium would like to go there so we're building something that's going to be the most beautiful anywhere in the world when I was in China they have a building it's called the Great Hall of China it's a serious hall this is a very large hall but we're going to top it you know we're going to top it and it's going to be at the White House and all these presidents to come hopefully mostly Republicans but Democrats also are going to be very thankful that they have it and it's going to be an honor to to do it and I just want to say that the radical left Democrats will not have and could not have and this is very important because I'm getting to maybe maybe what will be the best part of the speech so what I because I love the weave you know what the weave is you talk about something then you bring in a ballroom or you bring in an airplane or you bring in Air Force One but you notice I always get right back to the same topic now when I don't come back she's great he loves he says I love Melania she's doing a good job so when someday there'll be a time when I do the weave is weave weave someday there'll be a time when I don't get back to the original subject and then you can say he's had it okay you can say then he's happy but what we're doing is because we've done so well and because our country is making so much money that only I can make this promise to you and here is my promise if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate both of them because of our economic tremendous economic success like in in history we've never had anything like what's happening but because of our tremendous strength and success economically I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Buying boats? Remember when I said if Trump came out and said we're going to do a dividend, he must watch the show? He does. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776. Remember? I gave it to our military, $1,776. Can you believe the number was $1,775? And I said, you know, if we add $1, we're at $1,776. I said, did anybody? Did anybody think of that? No. But we gave our great military $1,776, and they are thrilled. Every time I see them, they thank me. But this is what we're doing, and it was greatly appreciated, just like I did with the Trump accounts for children. We're young people, children. And many of them born into poverty or families with very little money, and they don't know that their future will be potentially rich when they turn 18 or 21. Think of it. Their family won't have much money, but the government is putting $1,000 into an account for beautiful babies born. But in many cases, they're born into poverty. They're born poor. They're born not rich, but they get $1,000. And we do matching funds and all sorts of things. And Michael and Susan Dell, he put up, think of this. Is he speaking Spanish? Yes. He's speaking tomorrow, too. Tomorrow's going to be a $10,000 dividend. $6,250,000. I wonder if that was it. So far, he's the largest. Anybody in the room like to challenge that number and put up a little? So go out and buy his computers. He's a very good guy. Now, they'll say, oh, he's making a political. I'm not making it. The guy gave us $6,250,000,000, and he did that not because he had to, because he really wanted to do it. And children are going to turn 18 or 19 or 20 or 21. They're going to have an account. And if the market is good, like if the market's like today, they become quite rich at a very young age instead of having no money whatsoever. It's an amazing thing and very popular. We have other people, by the way. We have other rich people. They took the entire state. Somebody put up the entire state of Indiana putting up money. For every child born in the entire state, Brad, thank you very much. But the only condition on the payment of this dividend that we're going to be making, so it's $5,000 to every adult. The only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America. We don't want you. Sorry, but money is fungible. How are you going to police that? We don't want you. We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America. In other words, if the Republicans win, if you win, we might not win. The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs. They don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump dividend. I love that it's the condition, too. We'll call it the Trump dividend. 5,000 loaves of bread. Where does this $5,000 per person come from, would you say? Now all we have to do is win. Under my leadership, we also made our historic most favored nation agreements on drug prices. Nobody thought it was possible. For decades, Americans paid the highest prices for prescription drugs anywhere in the world. We paid the highest. We paid the highest drug prices in the world. And now, because of what I did with Bobby Kennedy, who's over there, with Dr. Oz, who's over there. Aaron Rodgers, that's standing up right there. Thank you. Bobby, Dr. Oz, we have a great group. So we went from the highest prices by far in the world, and now we pay the lowest prices in the entire world for prescription drugs. And nobody wants to write a story about it. I'm trying to get the press. I think it's one of the biggest things to happen medically, healthcare-wise, in history. I cannot get a story out of it. I'm trying. I'm saying, would you please tell the people how great I am? Please. Yes, sir. I'm giving you the largest prescription drug price cuts in history, with differences of 400, 500, and even 600%. I think we're not going to have the after show. No, well, Donald Trump can talk. He can. He can talk. Think of that. We can talk tomorrow, too. That alone should win the midterms, honestly. You think there's 35 times between now and the midterms, at least? If we did nothing else, that should, because everybody said, other presidents tried and they failed. They weren't able to do it. But I would call countries. It's a big problem. I got the drug companies to do it. But I would call. But they knew that I couldn't get it from countries. Never got. I would call France. I would call other countries. In the case of France, I would speak to President Macron. Beautiful accent. Wonderful guy. I'd say, Emmanuel, please, please do us a favor. You have to double or triple the drug prices in France, if you don't mind. Because you're paying $10 for a pill, and we're paying $130 for the same pill. So the concept is they'll go up somewhat. And we'll come back. We'll come way down, because the world is bigger than us, so it's disproportionate down. So he said, no, no, no, I will not do that, Donald. Why would I do a thing? He said, you have no choice. You're going to do it. He said, no, no, I will not do that, Donald. You don't understand. I will not do that, Mr. President. I said, yes, you will. I will tell you you will do it, because if you don't do it, I am putting a 150% tariff on all wines and everything else coming into the United States. It's like a nursery rhyme. And he said, Donald, you really can't do that. I said, yes, I can. I have the papers in front of me. I'm going to sign them right now. He said, Donald, I would love to do that. So he agreed. And I had the same conversation with about 25 other countries. You had to get their approval. Got everybody's approval. Whether it's wine, champagne, cars, it was always something. Everybody's got a weak spot. Remember that in life. Everybody has a weak spot. I won't tell you what my weak spot is. I refuse to say. But on the world stage. America is respected again like we have never been respected before. That I can tell you. And here at home, we ended the woke madness Democrats cruelly inflicted upon America. We abolished all of the diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates across the federal government. We made English the official language of the United States. We banned transgender ideology and critical race theory from our public schools. And ended the transgender mutilization of our children. Mutilization. There will be no more mutilization, which is what it was, of our children. And so importantly, we will not have men playing in women's sports. Mutilization. And every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. This is every single one. It's incredible that Congress, the Senate, the House, that they were able to get this passed. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against 100%. No tax on Social Security for our great seniors. They won. They want to raise your taxes on Social Security. They want to raise your taxes on tips. They want to get rid of no tax on tips. They want to get rid of no tax on Social Security for the seniors. They want to get rid of it. Think of it. The overtime now is going wild. Companies love it. The people love it. They don't have to pay tax when they work overtime. They're working the longest hours. It's great. It's like a great incentive. They want to get rid of no tax on overtime. Every Democrat voted against funding for the border security bill. They voted against funding on everything, the wall. They voted against voter ID. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against funding for our military and for our vets. They voted in favor. They voted in favor of transgender everything, taxpayer-funded child mutilization. And they voted in favor of men playing in women's sports. Congressional Democrats voted against the American people every single time. And now they want you to vote yes on. handing them the majority so they can take us back. They want to take back every single thing that Republicans, through a lot of really hard work and a lot of very brilliant thinking, gave you. All of those taxes are going to go through the roof if you put in the Democrats. On November 3rd, we will tell the radical-left Democrats that we will never believe you again. We are never going back to where we were just two years ago, when our country was an embarrassment. Our country was an embarrassment. The Press: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! The President: No, our country was an embarrassment. We had a President that couldn't walk off the stage. It's a great day. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to people that follow Osama bin Laden. And he campaigns with a Marxist agitator who says that America deserved 9-11. We deserve to have 3,000 people killed, two massive structures brought to the ground. We deserved it, right? The Democrats want to make this extremist a U.S. senator. More of a backtrack than an apology, though. Considering the flack that he's got, I don't think he really means it. I think he's like, ooh, that was a bridge too far. So on November 3rd, get out and vote for Mike Rogers. Now, in North Carolina, you have a little more difficult case, because people don't quite get it, but they're going to find out. Democrats nominated Roy Cooper, who was the president of the United States, who was the president of the United States, who worked with anti-police radicals to release thousands and thousands of dangerous criminals and murderers all over the once-safe streets and countryside of beautiful North Carolina. My daughter-in-law, Laura, loves North Carolina. She comes from there. And last year, on a train in Charlotte, you all saw it, one monster, an absolute monster, with 14 prior arrests, nothing but trouble, he was a violent person, stood up behind a beautiful 23-year-old woman, Irina Zarytska, and slashed a knife from behind across her neck and killed her almost instantly. Other than a look she gave up, what happened? That was her last thought, it was her last look. He was an animal, a violent killer, and everyone knew it. They all knew it. They all knew he was destined to kill. He was doomed over her as the life drained from her, absolutely petrified. You've all seen it, and you don't want to see any more than the pudding of the knife. If you wanted to look at something as horrific as anything you'll ever see, let that tape run. Most networks, and I give them credit for this, they wouldn't let that happen. It was violent. Unfortunately, because of my position, I was forced to look. I did not like it. I didn't like looking, and I wish I never saw it. I wish I never saw it again. I didn't want to see it again. No, I'll read. Okay, I got it. I'll read. I'll read tomorrow. And some of the media, the New York Times, the failing, it's a failing newspaper, by the way. It's failing badly. You know why? Because it has no credibility. But they'll have a reporter say, Trump lost his audience. He didn't enjoy it up there. I do. I'm having a lot of fun. You know why? Because everybody loves me and I love everybody. So they'll say that they started leaving. I've been speaking for an hour and 20 minutes. Nobody's left. But they'll say the arena started emptying out. Or they'll say the arena, which was only 25% full. Really? Really? How about those people? Now, this place is packed and outside. But I had the case. I was going to say before. So Lindsay Graham's sister, Darlene's fantastic. And she's running. And she was behind in the polls against a very good politician, Ralph Norman, very good politician. And she was a little behind. And I was pushing for her victory. And I went to South Carolina and I gave a speech in a big room and it was packed. It was packed. And because of that speech, she won the election quite nicely. She won it quite nicely. And the people -- it was standing room only. The people were packed outside. And then on watching the Sunday shows last week, a creep from the New York Times said, "I was at that room and there was very little enthusiasm." President Trump didn't really want to be there. You could see it. And the room was half empty. The back of the room had nobody. Let me tell you, the back of the room made this one look empty. The place was packed. Thousands of people outside. And here's the bottom line. Because of that speech, she won. But I had to listen to a guy lie from the New York Times. His name is Sean McCreech, something like that. And he lied. And he said, "So just remember, we looked around. The place is packed. Nobody left. Let's keep it that way because I'm almost finished. Okay?" A vote for any Democrat this year, anywhere in the country, is a vote to let a small and dangerous group of extremists hold our Congress and our country hostage. If they win, every bill becomes a ransom negotiation. It'll be very tough. If we want to fund the military, then we'll have to pay the Marxists who want to destroy it. If we want a homeland security funding, then we'll have to pay the radicals who think we deserved, like I said, 9-11. I don't think so. With your vote in this election, you can tell these far-left lunatics and fanatics that America is not for sale to them or to anybody else. Thank you. We do not negotiate with communists, with socialists, or with radical left lunatics. We don't negotiate. The maniacs attacking our civilization think they're on this march. They're talking about, this is a great march. Our country is the hottest country in the whole world. What the hell do you want us to do? They're talking about. We will march. We will. Everything they touch. You know, one thing I notice about, even if I just talk socialism, if I talk about radical left, without even going to communism. Everything. I said this once a month ago. Yeah. It turns to something. I go a little off script, if you don't mind. Isn't it nice to have a president that doesn't have to use a script? Isn't that nice? Isn't that nice? But one thing I noticed about the radical left, like the cities, the blue cities, I don't want to go specific. I'm not going to mention New York, Chicago, all those cities. I don't want to be specific. But the one thing I noticed is dirt and filth. Everything's dirty and filthy and disgusting. And then the crime comes, and then the killing comes, and then everything else. And then we have to bail them out, or they don't get bailed out, and the thing goes to hell completely. But it's filthy, disgusting, dirty. You know what? I'm a guy, I hate to shake hands. I used to hate it. I had to get. I used to it as a politician. And I think I was right. But now, you know, if you're a politician, don't shake somebody's hand. How's that for getting a vote? Guy comes up, sir, may I please shake your hand? No, I don't want to shake your hand. Oh, let's go out and vote for him tomorrow. You have to get. He's better when he stops the prompter. But, you know, I like cleanliness. I'm a very clean person. And I notice that these radical left places, they turn dirty, filthy, disgusting, and then the crime follows. And we can't let that happen to our country. We just can't let it happen. That's a good observation how filth makes people. So exactly one year ago tomorrow, a far-left extremist assassinated my great friend and conservative voice, Charlie Kirk, because Charlie Kirk spoke the truth. What shocked millions of Americans was not only the fact that Charlie was murdered as bad as it was, but also how many people made an excuse for it or cheered for it. We're cheering some people, sick people. For a brief moment, the mask came off the radical left, and you saw what they were really all about. And now those same people are trying to get power over you in this election. And they are all voting Democrat, okay? They're all voting, every one of them. And you can't let it happen. We will not let them win. And in Charlie's honor, I just want to say we love you, Charlie. And Erica is here someplace. Erica, where is Erica? Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Thank you very much. And thank you, Erica. And I think Erica is going to be here tomorrow, too. She's put up with something. Boy, oh, boy, what she's had to go through. And the most beautiful family. It's just terrible. But tough life, tough life. Can't let it happen. From the very beginning of this journey, I've not stopped fighting and I never will stop fighting to protect you, your family. I had a great life before I did this. This is a little different. I had a very nice life. I didn't need to be here tonight. I could have been in a nice place somewhere in the world. But I want to be here because I love you people. I really do. I wouldn't trade. I wouldn't trade. But the radical left communists have tried to persecute me, my loved ones and my supporters. They attempted to put me in jail and even tried to kill me because I was doing a good job. But through it all, I have never quit. I've never backed down. I never will. And every single promise I've made to you as a candidate, I've delivered on. I've delivered on everything. We've delivered on many more things than I even talked about. Somebody said he's actually. He's actually delivered. The only politician they say this about. But that I've delivered many more things than I even talked about. And all I'm asking in this election is that you stand with me. Together, we will defeat communism in America once and for all. We're going to defeat it, and we have to defeat it badly. Defeating viruses, it's a constant. And will you vote because of your great work? I'm going to vote because of my great work. your prescription drug prices by up to 90 percent think of that you know when i was in my first term for 28 years there's never been a president that reduced drug prices but i did one-eighth of one percent and i was so proud i called for a news conference and i bragged to the press so prices from january till the end of december went down one-eighth of one percent and now i'm reducing them 90 percent more and we'll cut out of control credit card swipe fees saving the average family at least twelve hundred dollars per year and will not allow americans to pay seven to eight times more for those fees than they do in any other country we pay seven eight and nine times more than they do another it's almost like the prescription drugs same kind of a thing we'll we'll straighten it out for you very quickly we will make it legally impossible for any future president to destroy our country by having the right to open the border again we will pass a no invasion of our country act make a law that we can't let people invade our country and we will win the war on fraud headed up by the way by uh. j_d_ vance is doing a great job you see marco there tonight you know i watched him last week and he was standing there with like twenty guys behind them all central casting all look like they just got out of the greatest law schools and as i said it looks like elliott ness it's elliott ness in the old days but you know j_d_s found billions and billions of dollars of fraud and he's just starting and he's really enjoying it because they're stealing from the american touch thank you great job and we will end no cash bail and institute the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers human traffickers and murderers of our law enforcement heroes and murderers of our law enforcement heroes and we will end no cash bail and institute the death penalty for large scale drug dealers human traffickers and murderers of our law enforcement heroes And one way or the other, before or after, if it has to be after, I hope it's before, November 3rd election, we will pass the Save America Act. It should be easy. We will make mandatory photo voter ID and proof of citizenship a staple at every single election in every single state. You would need more than a driver's license, like a birth certificate or something as well. And we will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. That's four. Utilize. Utilize. And again, when I'm running, we get tremendous numbers of votes and people coming out and they vote and then they vote for the senators and the congressmen and women and all. But when I'm not running, it's a little different. So please, I ask you this as maybe more important even than the Trump dividend, please pretend that I'm running and get out and vote on November 3rd or sooner. Because in actuality, I really am running. We don't really know it, but we are. I mean, we're running together. We have to we have to have Congress. We have to have the majorities. If we don't have the majority, so much can be lost. It could destroy. They're so destructive. These people, they have no heart. And we have to make sure they don't have a chance to destroy our country. This is one of the most important elections of your lives. Only supersedes. We're not dominated by our victories in 2016, 2020 and 2024, three great victories. And I will see you tomorrow night where I will be. Where I will be closing out the first ever midterm convention. This is incredible. And by the way, tomorrow night, I'm going to be here tomorrow night. I'm going to close it out. I'm going to say, but I'm not doing a big deal like this because I don't have to say the same stuff twice. I gave you a lot of material. I don't have to do it twice, but I'm going to be here to say goodnight to you. And I'm going to be just sort of getting up here and saying, good luck. And we love you all. That's what I'm going to be saying tomorrow night. I don't buy it. So. In 55 days, we will do what 250 years of American history absolutely demands. We will defend our nation's founding. We will protect our Constitution, including our great Second Amendment, which is always under siege. We will uphold the honor of our great heroes. We have great heroes. We will redeem the sacrifice. Of our ancestors. We will vanquish America's enemies. We will raise high the torch of liberty that was handed to us and march forward into a future of hope, pride, opportunity and freedom. On November 3rd, vote Republican for House and Senate. And with God's help, we will lead this nation to heights of glory and achievement never seen before. Amen. Even by our country at its best. Because together, we will make America powerful again. Dangle that meat. You can smell it. We will make America wealthy again. Salivating. Give him that meat. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much, Texas. We love you all. God bless you. God bless you all. Thank you. What a fucker, dude. He makes it fun. You know, he has a way of making it enjoyable just to get part of life. Like I got bored. I don't I'm not 100 percent on this guy. I love him. I hate him. I got it all. But compared to like Biden just stumbling through like this guy's entertaining. Yeah. Give a shit. No, he is. He's like he's dancing. I don't think we're supposed to play that song. Yeah. Holy crap. Guys, it's 11 o'clock already. He's going to speak again tomorrow. So to be short, though, he's he's going to do the same thing. It's not going to be sure he's going to run. He's going to he's going to pump the five. We got we can throw three minutes in for some for some rumble rants and super chats. Yeah, that five K was if that comes from printing, it's going to knock the value of five K down to four thousand and seven hundred. Woot do says the worst financial situation of my life. I've never been more broke as an adult. It's like I'm 17 again, struggling to pay the power bill. Yeah. You know, I know Trump is selling it. And it kind of is not good right now. He can he can sell it, but we can we we can see just as a business and there's no reason to play games. He's got to end this around war to the best that he can, I suppose. Yeah, I wish he would would re re re negotiate the conversation like that, like it's bad, but it's going to get good. We're going to fix it. Yeah. Instead of just gaslighting us to think it's great, like again, politicians, they always equate the economy to the stock market. And for most people, they're trying to pay their bill by gas. You know, it's not the same thing. Right. Stock market's up. It's not it's it's not the same thing. We've got to nail the land and get the gas prices down. I mean, that has to happen by November because that's what people are going to be looking at. That has to happen. ZL Willis says per tradition, we welcomed our fourth child one week ago.

Where they're like getting attacked and he's just like, all right, I guess, you know, I don't know what else to do. We're on a spaceship. I had that feeling while we were watching Trump.
