27 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the significance of Hillary Clinton's testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein?

3.794 - 20.715 Phil

Hillary Clinton was on Capitol Hill today giving closed-door testimony about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, her lack of a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, if you believe her testimony. Lauren Boebert decided that she was going to take a picture, and then she sent it to Benny Johnson. Then he threw that on the Internet, and so then they stopped the whole thing.

79.394 - 98.179 Phil

There's a bunch of people in China that are a bunch of women in China that have decided that they want to fall in love with their AIs. Burger King is using AIs to watch over their their their employees and make sure that they're saying please and thank you. So we're going to get into it. But first, we're going to go to a word from our sponsor. We got a great sponsor. It is Beam Dream.

98.801 - 119.973 Phil

Check out shopbeam.com slash timpool to get a 35% off your nighttime sleep blend to support better sleep. I absolutely love this stuff. I drink it every single night. They got a bunch of different flavors. I got cinnamon cocoa, sea salt caramel, brownie batter. I'm a big fan of the cinnamon cocoa. It's my favorite, but I've been drinking the sea salt caramel one. It's got magnesium.

Chapter 2: What recent events are causing chaos on the Afghanistan border?

120.393 - 142.223 Phil

It's got L-theanine. It's got reishi. It's got melatonin. I drink it before bed. It's a cup of hot cocoa. Oh, it's caramel. I guess hot caramel. And it's by 15 calories, no added sugar. No joke. I do drink it every night before bed. And it is absolutely amazing. My sleep has dramatically improved. I've actually been getting such good sleep. My sleep has started to reduce. Like, no joke.

0

142.203 - 160.916 Phil

I was sleeping for like seven and a half hours. Now I'm just naturally waking up a little earlier and my sleep score is still maxed out. This stuff is great. And if you're a guy, it's important because your testosterone and HGH are producing the body during REM and deep sleep. So if you're sleeping poorly, it's negatively impacting your weight, your energy, your mood. So I'm a big fan.

Joining us tonight to talk about all of the things that I mentioned earlier and so much more is Rick Jordan. How you doing, Rick?

0

187.645 - 205.188 Rick Jordan

What's shaking? It's good to be here, man. Who are you? What do you do? Who am I? Well, I'm Rick Jordan, right? I do a lot of things. Whenever I get this question, you know, pretty much what I've done since birth almost was technology, right? But what I wanted to be when I was a super little kid was a tornado chaser. Oh, that's sick. I know. Yeah.

205.408 - 207.35 Rick Jordan

So, I mean, I still do a little bit of that on the side.

207.431 - 213.037 Phil

Do you do a lot of, do you like, are you like an adrenaline junkie? Do you go out and try and do like things like jump out of planes and stuff?

213.057 - 222.589 Rick Jordan

No, I don't do that. But what I do, I like to be the first at certain things. Okay. You know, so if I see that somebody else hasn't done something yet, I'm like, why not? You know, there's gotta be a reason. Well, watch me do it, you know?

222.889 - 225.012 Phil

Awesome. Well, thanks for joining us. Brett's here.

Chapter 3: What role does AI play in modern workplace interactions?

230.515 - 240.503 Brett

Eastern Standard Time, but we had a bunch of stuff to talk about. Fanta Twister growing up? The movie Twister? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. 110%. Let's go. Same with the new one.

0

240.483 - 254.96 Unknown

If you skydived into a tornado, would it kill you or just spit you out somewhere? We want to find out. Let's go. I want to be the first. Yeah, you want to be the first. No, not yet. But reading all this AI stuff, I'm kind of almost there, like getting ready to jump into a tornado. You're looking at a tornado anyway. We could ask AI.

0

255.641 - 266.473 Unknown

Yeah, the Department of War has this contract with Anthropic AI, the same company that's building the thing that Phil's been using, this buddy bot.

0

266.453 - 268.416 Phil

His name is Tank, thank you. His name is Tank.

0

268.616 - 285.12 Unknown

Tank the bot. And so the military department of war is like, we need full control of this AI for autonomous weapons. And Anthropics is like, I don't think that's what we're supposed to be doing here, everybody. And it's like, anyway, I'm freaking out. White what it is. Okay, well, maybe we can explain it further. We're going to argue about it. You guys are going to argue about it. Yeah.

285.1 - 292.339 Carter

What's up, everyone? Carter Banks here, hanging out, pushing the buttons, making sure to give you the best reaction shots and the best show.

Chapter 4: How are current geopolitical tensions affecting international relations?

292.399 - 311.716 Phil

Let's go. Awesome. So we're going to start off with, from ABC7, Hillary Clinton's Epstein deposition briefly delayed over a leaked photo. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony had to be briefly halted due to conservative commentator Benny Johnson posting a picture from the closed-door testimony.

0

311.736 - 328.156 Phil

Johnson posted a picture on social media of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He said that Colorado GOP Rep Lauren Bulbert was the one who gave him the picture. Breaking the first image of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath about Jeffrey Epstein to the Republican Oversight Committee is what Johnson wrote.

0

328.516 - 348.528 Phil

And you can see there's his tweet. One of Clinton's advisors said that the testimony had to be temporarily off the record while they figured out where the photo came from and why possibly members of Congress are violating House rules, according to Politico. In the past, Clinton said that she doesn't have any information on disgraced financer Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

0

348.948 - 360.265 Phil

Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors in 2019, the same year he died in prison. Do you guys think it's a good idea to take pictures in a closed session of Congress? Why is this news?

0

360.245 - 361.047 Rick Jordan

Seriously.

361.107 - 367.322 Phil

Because it's Hillary Clinton and it's Jeffrey Epstein. Those two things are big news all the time. But it's not a photo of those two together. No.

368.004 - 372.013 Brett

How much of a problem is this for Lauren Boebert?

372.635 - 378.068 Phil

At least a slap on the wrist? Yeah, I don't think that... They wouldn't censure her or do anything. It'd be like...

378.048 - 382.075 Brett

Everything's legal for a fee? Like, as long as you're okay with taking the punishment, they go ahead and do that?

Chapter 5: What is the sentiment of Americans towards military conflict?

3554.677 - 3573.897 Phil

Can't talk about that. But I mean, that's kind of the way that the American population is. It's like, look... If we don't have guys on the ground, and we don't have Americans coming home in caskets, and we don't lose any planes, bomb whatever you want. We'll actually cheer it on because Americans didn't die. And that's generally the sentiment.

0

3573.917 - 3593.719 Brett

But that's going to change over time, right? Generally, Gen Z going into Gen Alpha isn't going to look on that type of conflict the same way we did, because they didn't grow up in a time period where you were kind of walled off from the rest of the world. They've grown up connected to the internet, which means that they've had... access to information coming from these countries for a long time.

0

3594.36 - 3597.664 Brett

And they live in a more globalist world than we did when we were younger.

0

3598.305 - 3599.447 Phil

I don't know that I think it's going to change.

0

3600.248 - 3602.371 Brett

You don't think the public sentiment in America will change?

Chapter 6: How is Gen Z's perspective on conflict different from previous generations?

3603.032 - 3626.447 Phil

When it comes to if the United States decides to do airstrikes, I really think... the majority of Americans will be like, ah, it's not a big deal, excuse me. I think they'll be like, eh, you know. Because, again, because it all depends on the level of U.S. casualties, and I think that just so long as Americans don't die, most Americans are... They're kind of like, well, I got to go to work.

0

3627.109 - 3635.211 Rick Jordan

Honestly. The last time that really mattered, I think, would have been Vietnam just because so many died. Yeah. 50,000 people or something over there.

0

3635.231 - 3640.225 Phil

54,000 people. More people died. As many people died at the Battle of Gettysburg.

0

3640.205 - 3659.783 Unknown

one battle in the civil war more people died than the uh the vietnam war um was that like with amputation people dying after the fact too i don't know exactly how it was you know it's the plot what you're talking about it's kind of the plot of 1984 the george orwell book is that there's forever wars overseas and people are just lulled into not caring because they just see like oh

0

3659.763 - 3674.404 Unknown

okay, bomb went off, bad guy died, now we have new enemy, and it's over the years all of a sudden now Oceania's fighting Atlantia or whatever, now all of a sudden you have a new enemy, and this whole time they'd be like, no, you've been fighting that other guy this whole time. But because of the internet, we're not in 1984.

3674.504 - 3688.825 Unknown

You can see from the ground in Iran the bomb falling on the guy, and you see his face, and my mother, you see his mom bleeding out on the ground, and now we just gotta be aware of deep fakes, because it's a lot about sentiment, like social sentiment.

3688.805 - 3707.345 Brett

There's also the issue where living in America isn't as easy as it used to be financially. So when you're struggling, if everything's going well and the country's in an economic boom and America's allocating a bunch of resources overseas and we're spending money to drop bombs on kids, maybe people are more forgiving.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of U.S. military actions on domestic sentiments?

3707.385 - 3724.92 Brett

But when they can't afford to buy a house... and grocery prices haven't come down to the extent that they want them to, and gas for your car isn't as cheap as you'd like it to be, then they're going to go looking for a reason as to why aren't things going good here. And maybe it's not the answer, Phil. We've had this discussion before. The amount we actually spend on defense isn't actually...

0

3724.9 - 3738.712 Brett

you know, it's not the same amount, but that, but the point is they don't know that, you know, that's assuming that they're as educated as you might be on where America's spending goes to, right? They don't necessarily know that most of it goes to social security and to all that stuff.

0

3738.772 - 3749.983 Brett

The point is they're looking for something to blame and it's easier to blame the, what they would consider a real evil of dropping bombs overseas as opposed to paychecks for grandma who's still getting her social security.

0

3750.003 - 3765.952 Rick Jordan

That's all a cycle though too. Yeah. If you look back, I mean, you could go into the great depression. I mean, I, I, always loved history. And I don't think there's anything new. I mean, even back to the Civil War that you mentioned, too. I mean, typically speaking, Democrats have always been spend, spend, spend, keep driving that up.

0

3766.433 - 3781.891 Rick Jordan

But you look back at coming out of the out of the Great Depression, What happened, right? It was World War II. And what took place during that was a big spending program to build up our military where everybody was put to work again and it sparked a huge economic boom.

3782.592 - 3799.519 Rick Jordan

And then you saw after that that the debt actually was even paid down because our GDP was pushed up so much because we started selling weapons to the rest of the world too. And it's cyclical. So, I mean, if the economy goes down, history would show that. that there's gonna be some big spending after this too.

3799.78 - 3809.16 Phil

The only thing, well you mentioned a really good point, the cost of gas. If the US starts striking Iran, I expect the cost of gas to go up significantly.

3809.242 - 3818.874 Brett

It has come down a decent amount. I wasn't trying to make the point that it hasn't come down. I'm just saying that there are still a lot of economic factors that young people are going to look at and wonder why this is going on.

3818.894 - 3842.167 Phil

Gas is the one that Americans do not want to see the cost of gas go up. Because most people have a sense that it affects the price of everything. But when you go to the gas station and you can fill your tank for $75 or $50... And then two days later, it's 75 for the $50 tank and 100 for the $75 tank. People notice and they get mad.

Chapter 8: How do AI advancements impact societal relationships and perceptions?

3897.464 - 3902.612 Unknown

Is there any other way? Can we sustain a thriving society without constant expansion?

0

3903.172 - 3904.895 Phil

We're going to talk about that when we get to AI.

0

3905.155 - 3907.719 Unknown

You think AI might be able to help us do that? I think it might.

0

3907.739 - 3927.268 Phil

I don't know exactly. We'll talk about it when we get to AI because I have thoughts. There is some disruptions coming, some significant disruptions. But yeah, I mean, I do think that war is, like you said, war is profitable. There's a lot of Austrian economists that say no, it's not because that money could have been

0

3927.248 - 3955.5 Phil

allocated to something else but at the same time when the us spends money it's not spending money it's just creating the money it does it's not like it's not like there's a finite amount of money that could be spent somewhere else that money is created and then given to the people that make weapons and and then you go and blow stuff up so as much as i i really do appreciate the austrian school and i appreciate libertarians take on economics most of the time um

3955.48 - 3976.527 Phil

The U.S. doesn't tax to pay bills. The U.S. wants to do something, they just print the money and do it. So it's essentially a cost in inflation. And that affects every American, but it's not like you're saying, oh, we could have spent this money on something else because...

3976.507 - 3984.609 Rick Jordan

Yeah, you're talking about allocation rather than the flow of the cash. The flow of the cash is what gets everybody excited and that gets things moving. And the velocity of money.

3986.113 - 4007.934 Unknown

Profitabilities of war, too, is like you can conquest and steal resources from the conquered. And you get a portion of your civilianry killed off in the war as these poor soldiers so that you don't have to fund them. I would imagine the economists do the math of what's the cost of a human. Is it a net positive or a net drain on society? Most humans probably are net drains on society.

4008.275 - 4010.378 Unknown

They produce more waste than they create resources.
