0:00 [Music] so uh anybody know where the fastest train in the world is Japan probably right now I thought it was Japan is it not originally it was the fastest trange and then was it t was it Taiwan for a while trange high speed rail but I don't know now it is Japan I thought the one that goes to kilo dude betting on Japan is always good it's the magev then they go like 500 mph I don't know about that or something like that damn however China of course China but do you trust it though how long will it going to work though how long is it going to last you do you trust do you trust it's going to not break do your Donald Trump do you trust it's not going to break hey okay just because you're Japanese doesn't mean you have to hate on China

0:50 still okay yeah man watch it dude China it's got really good products for very good price I'm 99% ████ Chinese okay watch it dude and where's the train going straight to our ████ Southern border oh wow yeah with military Agent Man with only military aged men in there going fit right right through the Statue of Liberty um well this train is just been unveiled but it's not open and ready to use yet it's just a new tech that they've been working on uh it's basically the same thing in terms of the maglev type of Technology but when put in into a compressed air tunnel type thing where there's like it's basically a vacuum the speeds can go into a crazy higher level so this is called basically

1:40 the they're calling it a floating train but it can break the sound speed of sound no way the train breaks the speed of sound so are people inside is their face just ████ melting they're just getting sucked off you're in a vacuum right I don't know what that means dude well when you're in a plane and you're flying at miles hour is your face going like this if it is and you're the only one that's very strange yeah good point huh I just turned the fan off yeah do you go like this and it ████ blows you to the back they have convertible how he doing that dude Fu speed of light though speed of sound very speed of light oh you said sound you see speed of light they're just going through time speed of light whatever so the there's a very talented

2:32 group of Chinese Engineers that just uh showed off their Masterpiece called tflight which will top of Japan's uh mlx o1 maglev which is the current fastest train in the world you hear him say topple I don't like that language by how many how how many miles by by thousands of military aged men okay that's a new unit of measurement so the mag have currently it's got to be by like close to a thousand though if it's speed of sound so get there but let's just build up to it the current maglev goes to a top speed of 361 mph okay where this iteration of the tflight right will go intra City commuting at 1,243 mph that's fast oh my God it's fast on the plane 200 mph speed of sound is just over 700 mph are you going to be

3:23 what wait so it's breaking the speed of sound by that much so check this out two or some ████ yeah dude your face is at that speed this train would be going more than twice the speed of a Boeing 737 twice the speed M you guys were looking at me like I was Dum ear that means it's going to be dangerous to put quarters on the rail to get it smashed cuz then that might derailing like crazy well it'll also be dangerous cuz you'll have to be in a vacuum tunnel to do that yeah so you won't be breathing to put your quarter down how much you want to bet still some Chinese ████ going to be late yeah chances are yeah well you may I go 1,000 mph man the taxi was the slow guy that wasn't me so this is going to be released in phases right first it's

4:13 going to be released uh at 621 mph for domestic in City commuting the next phase we'll see speeds of up to 1,243 mph for domestic int region traveling to link up economic zones of Beijing Shanghai changu guango and Wuhan wow wow you're a pro the third throw Wuhan in there huh they're like they got give some love this is beautiful but let's just get everybody some viruses How can we spread more disease the third phase the third phase will realize a speed of 2,485 mph what the so in the future a flight train Network covering countries along the belt and Road region will be formed to support the velon road initiative so basically we are they're trying to move

5:05 us into an actual future where like you can basically go from like country to Country in minutes bro what like Saudi Arabia to ████ Shanghai like that'll be so crazy I want to see the I want to see the crash simulator of this like it just disappears into nothing just yeah yeah are they going to test it first like fill it up with Jaguars or something snow lepers maybe yeah the ████ Jaguars the ████ crash animals I don't know what they usually do dude they don't even put regular people in Crash Test beautiful exotic animals strap them in all right let's see what happens whatever animals they use I don't know white tigers it would still be scary to be the first people to do it though oh absolutely ticket we're not touching

5:55 that what would they what could they give you to be that guy M ████ first Rider yeah if they're like just you alone a free expedition to the Titanic Mike is going to demonstrate the first I'm down to come in after the first 100 but after the first thousand I don't want to ride anymore cuz it's Chinese so you got to get out the middle just the middle yeah yeah be good enough to make that first impression and then they'll just like stop giving a ████ my answer was going to be like I wouldn't try it for the first year but I kind of like the way you said it after you said I was like yeah you're probably on to something why is it dirtier after that or why no cuz Chinese stuff doesn't last long cut Corners oh you know they build they build those like beautiful ████ apartment buildings and they just see them crashing like two years later you're like you see a piece of marble fast got

6:47 built in a week yeah yeah yeah have you seen those ghost cities yeah how they have whole entire cities and no one's living in it that ████ looks crazy that's scary isn't it cuz they thought that there was going to be a that's like we have that here it's called Santa Fe Springs oh we have the skyscrapers in Downtown LA that are getting all the graffiti on I think that was also uh acquired by a Chinese company and then the funny one out right chines chines and then they ran out of money yeah all Chinese stuff dude I don't know man good luck guys whoever's using that for their commute I am interested in this though cuz I always feel like you know planes the thing that kind of sucks sometimes is there's like weather delays and stuff so like there's like oh inclement weather and then you got to get delayed or whatever but then that's the thing about railroads it's a little bit more reliable so if you can keep things on the floor but make it faster that is the

7:40 future that's sick but it also seems like something like this if one thing was off they just wouldn't run it huh yeah they're like ah sorry it's there's a a glitch or there's a something's coming back different thing is the way that even they use like maglabs or even this technology is the fact that uh or it can go so fast is because it's floating right so they're using magnets which also means that there's the train is not even touching the track you know what I mean so there's way less room for mechanical errors in a sense you know what I'm saying because it's using like but what if the Bluetooth won't connect and they're like sorry guys yeah does it say does it say like they'll have there'll be like charging stations and stuff yeah it say that fat people can't ride it at the same time cuz it's yeah just damn that's 2,000 M hour that's ████ incredible that's like unnecessarily fast does a plane go no

8:31 it's necessary though you know what I mean because like the second you can the second we can go from here to New York in like 30 minutes imagine like business yeah bro shipping yeah like imagine all of that ████ like we're we can live out of state you guys and then I I also tried to think about like two generations ago right they're probably looking at motorcycles or cars that we got today like we got EVS now and they're so normal that they go from 0 to 60 in ████ like 3 seconds right but like what about two generations ago they're like you have what yeah I know yeah so I can only imagine the how normal it's going to be in the future in the near future that yeah we're like oh yeah dude I'm I'm going to go to New York real quick yeah I'll be back some of the old cars didn't go over 50 mph they're all so slow but what what if there's like five layers of TSA to get

9:21 on this thing oh so you end up like super late anyway economy class sucks just ████ standing in a ████ it's only a few minutes and you're like spoon somebody it's going to work in China though cuz they're not going to need cuz the second year already there everybody's already fully like in the social ████ you know what's going to happen when xiin ping kind of chills out is there another in line like cuz you know how like some countries when like the top dude disappears then it just kind of crumbles but China seems to always have like somebody ready to go yeah who's the new guy well actually it was xiin ping where they changed the rule that they uh he can stay in office so like they always similar to us I think you could only be there for two terms or whatever the ████ three or four whatever the ████ it is but because of him they just changed that all you can

10:13 term so yeah it's he can go on as long as he wants basically didn't other dudes be before him like there was that one guy that opened up China to the economy and then the guy behind before that was like ma or whatever there was like several you're talking about like those regime shifts when it's like yeah the whole thing kind of flips cuz there's a different dude yeah so I don't know I don't know China been playing a damn good long game recently so I could I could expect them to have like eight dudes lined up for Russia it was a Soviet Union but when it fell it was like just Putin kind of came up before him it was the guy with a with a big birth mark on his forehead gorbachov yeah gorbachov but like with Putin I'm like okay so after P what's going to happen now I don't know so if if if Mr Xi Jinping is gone then like is this train project and

11:03 everything else still going to go on oh you're saying because it has to carry over to the next persons he he might be a part of it it would be tight to see like a TV show on like the political Bench Warmers yeah who's up next well didn't when xiin ping like came come into a rule like it like everything about him like blacked out for a bit like you couldn't search anything really yeah I heard that like when he he I think his parents were somehow affiliated uh with like the government and then when they were vetting him out and then he became ruler or whatever his title is uh they blacked out everything and so like all information about shiin ping like disappeared for like whatever days and then like after those days like boom he's the new that's a sick I want him to come back to California cuz we need things to be cleaned like if he comes back to LA I hope he has a meeting in

11:54 skid roll cuz that thing's going to be so clean that be San Francisco we got to get him back yeah well cuz San Francisco is pretty clean I mean didn't he just go back to normal after he left well he has to visit like every quarter he has to live here for a bit maybe we get I hope he liked California when he came and he goes oh next time I'm going to surf or something I don't know I'm going to surf you take a surf [Music] lesson [Music]
