J.R. explains why Hawaiian shirts are a uniform for white supremacists and why they should be taken away from the public. Plus, why the far-right boogaloo movement is using Hawaiian shirts to hide their intentions. And why they wear them because they're comfortable and breathable. And what's wrong with Hawaiian shirts? And why we should all be wearing them. Also, we talk about the rainbow and why it's not cool to wear a rainbow. And we don't give a fuck about it, but it's a good thing it's still a rainbow, right?

00:01:52.000In the past couple weeks following the killing of George Floyd, curiously dressed counter-protesters have attended scattered demonstrations across the U.S. armed and disconcertingly garbed in Magnum P.I. style floral Hawaiian shirts.
00:02:06.000Magnum P.I. is pretty fucking American.
00:02:28.000We can't let them take away Hawaiian shirts.
00:02:30.000No, that's the exact point that I'm trying to...
00:02:32.000I was like, you tell me the things that I'm not supposed to do, and I'm going to do those things because I'm not going to let you take those things from me.
00:03:51.000When I was young, they always taught us, like, middle finger means something in America, but in, like, some other country it doesn't, but, like, thumbs up in some country is real bad.
00:04:28.000In Iran, Greece, Russia, Sardinia, and parts of West Africa, the thumbs up is as rude as the middle finger is in the UK. So no posing in front of the Parthenon, making the thumbs up gesture like a nerdy tourist.
00:05:07.000People were saying that there's something wrong with the OK. I'm like, you can't take away something that's been around forever that just means OK. And the thing about there were some people that were doing it upside down.
00:05:44.000So it's a game that has existed in every single basic training.
00:05:48.000You have to remember that the audience that we're talking about here, like these are guys that are volunteering to go to war, so they're not right.
00:05:54.000But I mean, this, for as long as I've been in the military for 16 years, this is an asshole.
00:05:58.000And the game has always been like, gotcha.
00:06:00.000And it's a gotcha moment if they look down at it.
00:06:03.000So if you do that, that thing, and then someone sees it, they have to stick their finger in it or you hit them in the dick.
00:06:20.000It could also be internet 4chan meme shit where they're taking it to another level and giving...
00:06:25.000But do you remember when those cops, they all got in trouble because they were taking a picture, and everyone's saying these cops are doing the white power thing.
00:06:33.000But you're saying that's not what that is at all.
00:06:35.000So West Point, at one of the recent graduations, I think Trump spoke there, a bunch of the West Point graduates were doing that symbol.
00:07:01.000This is actually not better because now our West Point, the most prestigious military academy, our graduates are playing their senior year at a Trump graduation, the asshole game.
00:07:13.000And the asshole game has consequences and those are dick slaps.
00:07:26.000Well, the problem is with someone being able to write an article like that and say this is a white power symbol, and then all of a sudden these people get labeled as white supremacists, and then there's no repercussion, because once the article's out there, even if you have a retraction, the original article's still out.
00:08:24.000I can't imagine a time where people are more outraged about more things.
00:08:30.000Yeah, I really think it's just, you say more people, but I really just think it's a small percentage of people that are always outraged on both sides all the time.
00:08:39.000But they have an opportunity to talk about it more now.
00:10:00.000I don't think you're allowed to talk about it though.
00:10:15.000One of the things about the military is there's a lot of dark humor and people kind of look at us as these scarred, damaged people because of that humor.
00:10:23.000But the truth is, like, we're able to talk about those things through this humor.
00:10:26.000And whether it's like a release for post-traumatic stress or just how we're able to get to the next day, how we're able to go and do some of the things that we do, it's because we're allowed to joke and laugh and burn that stuff off these sensitive times.
00:13:08.000And so I had to figure out a way to do it.
00:13:11.000And so I came up with this thing where they're demons and they whisper in his ear in the middle of the night and they talk him into being a woman.
00:13:16.000But it took forever to figure out a way.
00:13:20.000It worked and people didn't even get mad at me for it.
00:13:23.000I just had to figure out a way to do it where, first of all, I belittle myself and then I explain it in a way where it's not dehumanizing trans people.
00:14:10.000The fact that you have to think about a joke and its political or cancel culture ramifications to make sure it's politically correct enough for it to be bulletproof, whether you're a defense attorney, that sucks to me.
00:15:24.000The jokes that I've said on stage that are against political correctness, that are good, like the way I've figured out a way to weave some of them, when they hit, man, they hit like a bomb.
00:15:42.000I have this whole chunk that I do on banning words.
00:15:48.000And the whole chunk, it's like it took forever to figure out how to manipulate it and get it to this place where you could sneak it in on people.
00:15:57.000And sneak it in on people that would ordinarily, you say those words in polite company and people would, their assholes would tense up.
00:19:42.000These ideas continue and gain momentum and they're not real because they've never been tested against anything that disagrees with them or that contradicts them.
00:19:52.000And I think all ideas have to go through that process for them to be real.
00:19:56.000Is that refiner's fire of, is this really going to work?
00:20:40.000I mean, that's not only idiotic, it's dangerous.
00:20:43.000It's dangerous and stupid and it's everything.
00:20:46.000It's everything wrong with these ideas that just get propagated online that no one really thinks through, but then they become a thing that if you're cool, you say it.
00:20:55.000If you're in the right group, you say it.
00:21:53.000Yeah, one of the best things about special operations is that there's so much training and process, the refiner's fire, the chaff in the wind.
00:22:04.000Like you throw that stuff up and the crap blows away and the good stuff comes back down.
00:22:08.000Then you take that stuff and you go and carry it into a fire and then you heat it and then you pull it out and you pound it.
00:22:13.000Then you heat it again, you pound it, then you heat it, you pound it.
00:22:15.000And what you're left with at the end is this pretty cool thing.
00:22:22.000If any of that is with law enforcement, all of those things can only occur through training.
00:22:28.000And if you want to test somebody, if you want to check, if you want to find racism, like having them show up to work for eight hours and letting them hop in a car and run out, you're never going to know what's inside of there.
00:22:41.000The only time that you get access, that you get peaks of that, is at these stressful, emotionally drained moments.
00:22:48.000And the only time that you can create those is through training.
00:22:51.000I've been arguing that we should have that for all of our leaders.
00:22:54.000We were talking about the mayor of California or the mayor of Los Angeles and the governor of California and the people that are deciding you can't trick-or-treat this year.
00:23:09.000And for whatever reason, they've decided they're going to save people by stopping little kids, the ones who have the least problem with this disease, from trick-or-treating.
00:23:21.000And I think part of it is because the people that are in that position, the people that are in the position of control, they don't have to be tested.
00:23:27.000They don't have to show their character.
00:23:29.000They just have to win a popularity contest that no one wants to enter.
00:23:32.000No one wants to be the fucking mayor of LA. Who's entering?
00:23:35.000No one wants to be the governor of California.
00:23:54.000They get so scrutinized and it's such a ruthless business that the only people that you get left are these wishy-washy milky people.
00:24:01.000I do wish that political parties were afraid of the people again.
00:24:06.000That created a really healthy balance where they understand that they represent their constituents and their job is to do what their people want.
00:24:19.000Once they get into this certain level of political power, they kind of just do whatever they want.
00:24:24.000And they forget that they're supposed to be representing the people.
00:24:27.000I've never seen California so charged right now against California.
00:25:17.000I'll volunteer to inject my neck with a hypodermic needle full of COVID compared to my children starving to death because I don't work.
00:25:26.000And some, like the salon owners, are like, if I don't open up, I'm already four months behind on my mortgage or my rent.
00:25:36.000To include this building, I'm going to be homeless, as are my kids, and you're going to be dealing with that next month if I don't open right now.
00:25:54.000I want to have Texas politicians on, too.
00:25:57.000Try to explain what the checks and balances are in this state that have kept it from being fucked up and given it the freedom that it enjoys right now.
00:26:03.000And one of the reasons why people are coming here in the first place.
00:27:45.000When I say they come here in droves, we have hundreds of Green Berets in the state of Texas from their Border Patrol workers that are still serving as Green Berets.
00:27:57.000They're police officers, firefighters, work for FBI, but they live in Texas so they can be Texans that are Green Berets that then have their other shenanigan awesome jobs.
00:29:01.000You know, we're talking about the First Amendment.
00:29:03.000Congress shall make no law respecting any establishment or religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, abridging the freedom of speech, the press, the right of people to peacefully assemble, petition the government for redress of grievances.
00:33:24.000So you as a rancher, you're like, seeing a heavy-handed, hairy ogre like me, they're like, wait, you'll come and kill pigs on my property, and I don't have to do anything?
00:34:09.000Yeah, so whatever speed, if you're going, let's say, 80 knots...
00:34:12.000You're gonna have to be behind it about the tail and the speed of that helicopter is gonna make up the difference to give you a middle impact.
00:35:32.000But like, that's, while I believe you have the right to do that, it's also one of those things that's like, it's also dumb to do it.
00:35:40.000From a tactical perspective, why would you be sitting here with the thing that you want to protect you, exposed to the whole entire world, and telegraphing people?
00:35:50.000If I walk into a room, that's the first guy I'm like, eh.
00:36:11.000Well, that's that thing that I was getting into about the protests when people were showing up at these Black Lives Matter protests with AKs around their neck.
00:36:28.000It's heartbreaking because I respect that they're trying to...
00:36:32.000I fully believe in protesting, love peaceful protests.
00:36:35.000I even like that kind of bravado of open carry in that sense where they're like really...
00:36:42.000I think a freedom not exercised is a freedom that's going to atrophy and die.
00:36:46.000One of the reasons why I love comedy is because you are pushing the limit of what people are comfortable with, especially with the First Amendment.
00:36:54.000So you're kind of torn on open carry in that sense.
00:36:57.000I think it's super dumb, but I like people exercising their freedoms.
00:37:28.000I feel like showing up at one of those protests with a gun.
00:37:30.000Unless they're coming to you and trying to take your house or break down your door, why are you walking around with a gun?
00:37:39.000If it's supposed to be a peaceful protest, and the idea is what if someone comes to try to disrupt that peaceful protest?
00:37:46.000You're inviting them almost with that gun.
00:37:48.000Yeah, I mean, we had a poor kid killed here in Austin.
00:37:53.000He had an AK and a poor Uber driver got in the middle of a protest and he's like, holy crap, his, you know, when he dropped, he had a drop off and he went to go do another pickup and Uber like automatically routes the way to go.
00:38:09.000So he's following his little Uber route and he turns and he's like, oh man, I'm in the middle of a protest.
00:38:13.000He's a soldier from Fort Hood right here.
00:38:16.000And he's concealed carrying in his Uber vehicle.
00:38:20.000And he gets stuck in the protest, and the protesters just swarm his car.
00:38:42.000He's open caring at a protest, you know, and he was saying kind of some inflammatory things beforehand, but like, I think his point and his purpose was really good and pure and like trying to do the right thing.
00:39:11.000The guy who got shot, people were saying that the guy who did it was a white supremacist who drove into the protest on purpose.
00:39:19.000And the video was edited where it looked like the guy was making a right-hand turn, and he sped up because he was trying to get around a person, and they cut right there because it looks like the guy's speeding up to go into the crowd.
00:39:28.000But super, when you watch the whole video, it's really obvious what that poor kid was trying to do, the driver.
00:40:50.000He had to move out because they're going to burn his place down.
00:40:52.000Well, they tried to burn down his lobby.
00:40:54.000They were throwing fiery things into his lobby.
00:40:56.000They were lighting fires in front of the street, in front of his house, having dance parties in front of his apartment building.
00:41:00.000So I was just coming back from Africa on an SFA mission, a security forces assistance, like a We, the military, go to places that have insurgents and we try to legitimize the process of government.
00:41:18.000So in counterinsurgency, there's like all of these different missions from joint combined exercises for training to foreign internal defense to SFA, security forces, assistance.
00:41:30.000And I'm over there doing a counterinsurgency mission and I'm coming back and I'm seeing the same kind of horrible, dangerous recipe that In Portland, you know, the same types of organization structure and it's an insurgency is a charged idea that,
00:41:54.000you know, insurgency as the DOD defines it is an organized group trying to delegitimize or overthrow a constitutional government.
00:42:27.000And as dangerous as it is, those ideas are like a cancer.
00:42:32.000Because when the truth and information is being...
00:42:37.000Just like we talked about with the shooting here in Austin, where you have two different versions and some people are in the echo chamber of only hearing one side of it.
00:42:45.000It just keeps radicalizing more and more and catching more momentum.
00:42:50.000And then the reason that they're there is so convoluted with, you know, are you there for Black Lives Matter?
00:42:57.000Are you there to fight systemic racism?
00:43:01.000Are you here to, like, what are you protesting about?
00:43:16.000When you're allowed to throw fire into the lobby of the apartment building where the mayor lives and no one stops you, and you're out in front and people are playing music and dancing and everyone's going...
00:43:36.000And then when you're talking about people that are out of work, the economy's fucked, no one knows what to do, everyone's scared, COVID's killing a certain percentage of people, you can't Do anything about it.
00:46:02.000Capitalism arrives, more job opportunities, more wealth, more education.
00:46:08.000Immediately, in 10 years, you'll see the transformation of a block when a good business comes in and good things start happening.
00:46:17.000That business can't go there if it's dangerous, if it's rioting and it's looting.
00:46:22.000So if you look at every one of the cities that had serious riots from Rodney King, how bad those areas still are, it takes like 50, 60 years, if they ever bounce back, to come back from that.
00:46:36.000So if you're like, yo, go Black Lives Matter, but then you're going and rioting, you are absolutely condemning yourself to To more poverty.
00:46:44.000And then you go and defund the police and you remove the one thing that's going to provide stability and security out in that area that will bring in commerce, that will bring in business and jobs.
00:47:29.000If I wanted to ruin something, you know, it doesn't take a lot of effort for me to destroy it.
00:47:34.000For me to build and protect something, that takes a lot of manpower and hours.
00:47:41.000Insurgencies are also way more successful than a, you know, conventional type war.
00:47:46.000Even if it's just war of ideas, not that we're in a civil war.
00:47:50.000Thank God we don't have like geographic lines that these radical groups could align themselves with because then we'd be in a different problem.
00:48:02.000If you're going to flood, say, Baltimore with police officers, that's a lot of money.
00:48:07.000And it would take a long time for a business to feel like it's safe and secure for them to go in there and start affecting positive change, opening more stores, more jobs, more jobs, more wealth, more wealth, more education, more education,
00:48:41.000I mean, this is a trying time for us in the weirdest of ways because I don't think anybody anticipated everything going this far south so quickly.
00:51:50.000He's like, well, it's like catch wrestling, you know, which is kind of like jujitsu and wrestling kind of put together, you know, but then we fight, and I think I was 16, 15, 16 at this time.
00:52:02.000He's like, and we, in San Luis Obispo, there's these other guys that do it, this Gan McGee and Scott Adams and Chuck Liddell and Antonio Banuelas, Cruz Gomez, and I was like...
00:53:46.000There's many obsessions and addictions that come from almost the same energy that could be applied to something that makes you incredibly successful.
00:54:00.000It's where your brain is fixated, whether it's on gambling or whatever it is, whatever these addictions are.
00:54:32.000I've never had any addiction to negative stuff, but I think if you looked at my life from how I train, how I shoot, how I work, how I run my companies, you're like, this guy's a psychopath with the disciplined regiment of literal pain and suffering that I intentionally put my body through.
00:54:55.000And that's to stay productive, and so it's all constructive.
00:54:59.000I always joke that if I didn't do martial arts and fight and go to the military where all of those things were encouraged, like, yeah, we want you to fight.
00:55:08.000We want you to kind of be a violent badass.
00:55:19.000A lot of people that are in prison that I, to this day, feel like we could have got them when they were young and said, hey, listen, listen, this is the path you're on.
00:55:28.000But this is a way better path you can get on.
00:55:48.000All the things that you want on the far side of hard work and getting somebody to believe that where they have to make all these kind of small decisions where am I waking up early?
00:57:17.000The biggest thing that we're trying to impart, like I'm not going to in two and a half days, I'm not going to turn somebody into a great fighter.
00:57:23.000I'm not going to turn somebody into a great shooter in two and a half days.
00:57:26.000But what they're going to learn is they're going to learn their assets and their liabilities.
00:57:30.000And they're going to learn about themselves about what do they need to do that we're going to put them on a course, a direction, a path.
00:57:38.000All the things they need to do to positively change their life.
00:57:41.000And it becomes this, I'll use addictive, like this all-consuming passion to want to know that your family's safe, to not live in fear, to know that you're healthy.
00:58:29.000And I get to see this transformation of people.
00:58:31.000It's one of my favorite things about what I do.
00:58:33.000Yeah, it's so hard for people that don't do it to understand that if you do push your body, it gets stronger and you grow and then you literally feel better.
00:58:43.000I tried to explain it to a friend of mine.
00:58:44.000I said, imagine if you have a race car and the race car is 400 horsepower and a certain width tire and a certain kind of suspension, but literally you can make it have more horsepower and handle better and all you have to do is work.
00:58:57.000You just have to push it, and the tires will widen, and the suspension will toughen, and it'll be more pliable around corners.
00:59:16.000Your mind goes along with it, which is another thing that bums me out where really smart people don't want to work out because they think it's like...
00:59:23.000They think it's for meatheads, or they think it's a stupid egotistical pursuit.
00:59:28.000I'm like, no, you literally are all connected.
01:00:06.000Like, his body conditioned to be able to do those things.
01:00:09.000It wasn't like immediately he had this one and a half octave reach, right?
01:00:12.000He learned and his hands literally grew to be able to play chords that if you and I go and play them right now, we have carpals tunnel in six months.
01:00:20.000You know, like, his body adapted, evolved to be able to play like this...
01:01:23.000So how do you convince somebody to do it?
01:01:25.000Because this idea, this constitutional republic that we're in, it was possible because the individuals were strong, self-sufficient, and they believed in individual responsibility, right?
01:01:38.000And they had fucking balls to come to another continent.
01:01:53.000Without that individual being a freaking stud.
01:01:57.000And not this fat, flagellant, gelatin human sitting on the couch playing video games and None of these ideas are possible if we continue down this soft trajectory of wanting instant gratification and believing that we're entitled to anything.
01:02:17.000We have to believe that you've got to be a badass for this to work.
01:02:22.000There's so many people that are conditioned to instant gratification.
01:02:25.000And there's so many people that just want to take a pill.
01:03:29.000Not only does it taste fantastic, right?
01:03:31.000Not only do you look at it and remember, every time I'm cooking, whether, like, I had lasagna the other night.
01:03:36.000I took some elk made Italian sausage, a little bit of pork fat, a bunch of Italian oregano and thyme that were mixed into the meat.
01:03:44.000Uh, so I made a lasagna with ground backstrap and Italian sausage two nights ago, but the, like, as I'm cooking and I'm remembering walking up this mountain and seeing it two ridges away and be like, okay, where's the wind coming from?
01:04:01.000How am I, am I going to button hook around this thing so that I can stay upwind of it and, uh, catch it in this next ravine, you know, and like Every single moment, the smells, and it's all coming back to you.
01:04:11.000And then I sit down at the table, I've got my family with me, and we're going to eat this together.
01:04:17.000It's hard for people to understand that have never done it before, but it is eating something that you have hunted and killed yourself is a different thing.
01:07:12.000I put that in there, and I feel like...
01:07:13.000I appreciate old school, like when I watch the videos of Franklin's, Franklin's barbecue in Austin, that dude, he uses old school, you know, offset smokers with wood and throws the wood in with the logs, and obviously the result is fucking insanely delicious.
01:07:27.000I appreciate it, but I don't have time for that, bro.
01:07:53.000I have it in commercial freezers, some of it back home, so I literally might take a trip back home just to fill up some coolers and bring meat back.
01:08:14.000It's crazy how well those things keep temperature.
01:08:17.000I put on either end a little cardboard vertical separator from the meat, and then I pack dry ice in there, and I just leave like an inch along the top if I'm shipping stuff.
01:09:41.000He's like, hey, what would you do if you're at a restaurant and you're essentially ambushed by people screaming at you, telling you to raise your fist.
01:10:53.000My dad went to Gettysburg, and my stepfather, and he was there, and he said, I've never believed that there's a place where you could feel sadness.
01:11:00.000He goes, but you just feel the people that died there.
01:11:31.000So, there's a photograph called The Falling Man that it is, you can just Google Falling Man and you see this guy, and this, anytime I need to know the reason why I'm going all over these places doing,
01:11:49.000I can't look at it because it gets me.
01:11:54.000Let's talk about this dude for a second.
01:11:56.000He's sitting, standing, kneeling, laying on the floor of a shattered window and he's looking back inside and he's making a decision whether he's going to burn alive or he's going to jump to his death.
01:12:11.000They're sitting there, Americans, looking inside of a building, being like, okay, do I burn alive or do I jump to my death?
01:12:21.000And that video and that picture is so unnerving because he consciously is making the choice to die the whole entire way down.
01:12:30.000You can see he's staying in like, I'm going to face plant into the asphalt and all the way into the ground.
01:12:37.000He's making that choice because he didn't want to burn alive.
01:12:40.000So every time I'm sucking or suffering or frustrated, if I have to go do another mission, of course I want to do all these sexy things all over the planet, but sometimes I don't get to pick.
01:12:51.000Usually, that's the way the military works, don't get to pick.
01:12:54.000And I think about that guy, and I think about the 3,000 Americans that were standing there, and be faced with that choice of, am I going to burn alive, or am I going to jump to my death?
01:15:30.000Hutu and Tutsi, like that's just ethnic.
01:15:33.000But they're all the same kind of formula of, we're not happy about something, so we're going to do something horrific to try and change asymmetrical warfare, to try to change the shape of something.
01:15:45.000And that fight against these extreme outliers has to be one that we're committed to all the time.
01:16:04.000Boston, probably the next worst thing that's happened since then, which was a couple of idiots with pressure cookers because we have been so aggressive, not just here, but also abroad, ensuring that this doesn't happen.
01:16:18.000Right now, you know, I think the last time I was here, I was telling you how bad it is in special operations and special forces, specifically in recruiting.
01:16:24.000Like, we are hurting for people and the right people.
01:16:28.000And all the people that have been coming in, they came in to fight this war.
01:16:32.000But now we have kids in basic training that weren't alive when 9-11 happened.
01:16:37.000I volunteered on 9-11 because of this.
01:16:51.000I had a deployment next year that looks like it's going to get kanked because Trump is pulling back our forces from these places for us to do other things.
01:17:07.000It's joint combined exercises for training.
01:17:09.000And while I want to go put on my body armor and have a beard and go look sexy and go do all these things, those are the important jobs that we have to do in the coming years to make sure this doesn't happen again.
01:17:20.000If we're in Afghanistan in 1999 with a president trying to help the Afghani government have a constitutional republic or a government in a way, would have this happened?
01:18:28.000When you hear people talk about defunding the military, when you hear people talk about pulling troops out of other countries in a non-interventionalist foreign policy, but you know what you know, and you know why this stuff has to be done,
01:18:53.000You know, I'll go to a country in West Africa and I'll go back two years later and I will see the school that I helped build or was providing training for the people that are going to be protecting it.
01:19:05.000Um, and that school is still functioning and they've had two years of people graduating from that school.
01:19:11.000And now I go to what was like this podunk village and people are sitting there reading a book.
01:19:16.000I'm like, you can read like, yeah, I learned how to read last year.
01:19:25.000Like, ah, well, we learned how to read and then we started reading these books and like, we actually do natural filtration through the soil and we're also doing this tiered irrigation.
01:20:05.000They take these ideas, they plant seeds, and they plant seeds through, like, you're super poor, your daughter's going to get married, I'm going to come in as the bad guy, as the ISIS member, and I'm going to pay for your daughter's wedding.
01:21:19.000I mean, you go back to Genghis Khan, you know, and, like, they've been insurgents from Khan to the British, to the Russians, to then the British again, to the French, to then the Russians again, then to us.
01:21:33.000Like, they've just been doing this thing for as long as they've been in existence.
01:21:42.000We can still be there with the government, like hand in hand, advise and assist and accompany, like how to do things, but we don't physically need to be there fighting wars all the time.
01:21:52.000And that's kind of what we're doing, right?
01:21:53.000We're phasing back our physical direct action presence.
01:21:59.000But it's somebody saying that we need to pull everybody in.
01:22:02.000We only need to protect our own borders and let's just be present here.
01:22:04.000It's super naive and it's super ignorant because this is the result of us not being outside of our own borders.
01:22:13.000The idea of policing the world doesn't sit well with people, though.
01:22:20.000So security forces assistance or joint combined exercise for training or for internal defense, I am not walking around being like, hey, you insurgent, you get back in that building.
01:22:31.000I'm by, with, and through working with the local government, by their side, with them, with their mission and their intent, through their own purpose and ideas.
01:22:44.000But how do you get that message to people that do think that it's policing the world, that do think that we should mind our own business and take that Ron Paul approach and pull the troops back and take care of our own and not worry about other countries?
01:22:58.000I mean, I wish I could take people with me to show them.
01:23:04.000Have you ever listened to Ron Paul talk about these things?
01:23:10.000I think the easy answer, and I never like easy answers, is that 9-11 hasn't happened again, even though we know that they have tried 20,000, 30,000 times.
01:23:22.000They've tried to do this again in every single way.
01:23:26.000And whether it's a terrorist training camp, where we got him, whether it's the new ISIS leader, whether it's the new Al-Qaeda leader, whether it's the next Iranian, you know, secret service that's funding groups and terrorist organizations all over the planet.
01:23:41.000We got him, you know, like, we have been constant and vigilant in finding them and stopping them.
01:24:24.000That people can wrap their heads around.
01:24:27.000If I'm going to forecast how much ammo I need for training, I'm going to find out what my mission is.
01:24:32.000I'm going to set up kind of like the training calendar of all the events that we're going to do.
01:24:37.000Flat ranges, CQB, long distance sniper stuff, mounted training.
01:24:42.000And then that forecasts how much ammo I need.
01:24:45.000And then I go and I ask for that ammo.
01:24:47.000And, um, I would get like, I'd be allowed to ask for about a third then during Obama of what I was allowed to ask for with Bush or now Trump.
01:25:09.000Like us being able to buy cool drones or new guns or different optics.
01:25:15.000Like the funding is there or the funding is not there.
01:25:17.000And if, like, while the big Department of Defense military machine may not be the most efficient thing, when it goes down to the individual, like, it comes down to me being like, I can have this gun or I can't.
01:25:46.000Like I have $9 under this guy or I have $3 under this guy.
01:25:51.000So when you left fighting and went back into the military, was one of the reasons you did that because Trump was in office and then there was more funding?
01:27:08.000All the places I went and fought in Afghanistan were now controlled by ISIS. Do you know how bad that sucks to look at all the places where I remember friends getting hurt or, you know, like Jaco, the places that he went, those were occupied by ISIS, physically occupied,
01:27:25.000Fallujah, Ramadi, Sadr City, all of those places, all of the Syrian border, controlled by ISIS, land that we controlled and fought and then lost.
01:27:33.000And then thinking about like, I have to go back in here and do this again, but I have the third, a third amount of the resources to do it.
01:27:59.000And that's hard to stop when you're creating vacuums for evil to fill.
01:28:06.000And how much of an impact has it had having Trump as president and making those decisions to fund the military better in terms of success overseas?
01:29:21.000And this is all because of Trump getting into office and funding the military.
01:29:39.000Look to that idea, that document, as to how they're going to operate.
01:29:44.000And then you have the appointees to those positions, like Mattis, for example, where then he interprets what the intent is from the executive plan, and then for Department of Defense, how are we going to fulfill that?
01:29:58.000And then that goes to all of the regional commanders and to all the special operations units.
01:30:02.000And then missions are built off of fulfilling these ideas.
01:30:06.000And those ideas were smash ISIS, remove radical terrorists off the planet, and provide security and stability with all of our partners.
01:30:20.000So like in Africa, if you went back five, six years, you would have Three or four, five countries that were part of this group of regional Africans wanting to be free.
01:30:39.000They don't want Boko Haram or Al-Qaeda or ISIS coming in and telling them what to do.
01:30:44.000They want a free constitutional government.
01:31:09.000And they're all believing in these ideas of freedom and Of education, of prosperity, and we're just creating an opportunity for those to be realized.
01:31:18.000This is not a message that gets out enough.
01:31:22.000What you're saying right now about the importance of funding the military, about all the positive aspects of these operations, and about how squashing these fundamentalist terrorist groups can lead to democracy in all these places and can lead to flourishing schools and growth of these individual areas.
01:31:50.000Half the country doesn't want the other half to look good.
01:31:54.000And we definitely know that all of our enemies, foreign enemies, are 100% participating right now as we move towards November in delegitimizing what this country stands for in the process of our elections and what we're allowed to do successfully overseas.
01:32:12.000From Russia to China, they are In the business of hurting America.
01:32:18.000And they're not only here, like making our election seem unfair or broken, but also abroad, where they're trying to...
01:32:32.000Every place that we are, they are as well.
01:32:35.000And they're trying to do the opposite of what we...
01:32:44.000Because every little bit that they do is more that we have to fight against.
01:32:48.000When I said that an insurgency is cheap and a counterinsurgency is expensive, but we're fighting counterinsurgency over the planet.
01:32:57.000As we move towards the elections, with Portland firing off, Seattle firing off, I think it would be very naive for us not to think that China and Russia are negatively participating.
01:33:10.000If you look at 2016 with Hillary and Trump, were the Russians involved?
01:34:59.000I could go find that gay guy, use some homophobic slurs.
01:35:02.000I could find that Muslim over in the corner and tell him that the PLO is the dumbest group on the planet, that Israel should own everything, and that Muslims are ignorant, multi-wife assholes.
01:38:12.000We have specific groups that are doing this exact thing to make them look bad, but they're doing it to us and because America is so free, it's so much easier to do here.
01:38:23.000Like, how hard is it for me to go to Russia or land in China and go and start planting seeds of discontent?
01:38:39.000So because of the fact that we have freedom, because of the fact that we have these democratic elections, because of the fact that we have the ability to express ourselves and communicate freely online, which they don't really have in either one of those countries.
01:38:52.000I mean, there's severe repercussions for criticizing the government in China.
01:39:02.000And the way they participate is through the Internet Research Agency.
01:39:05.000I had a woman on named Renee DiResta who extensively researched this and was talking about how spectacular this operation was and what they would do.
01:39:15.000They literally organized a pro-Texas meetup across the street from a pro-Muslim meetup.
01:39:23.000Yeah, a friend who's very well-versed online found this Antifa rage, this thing against white rage online, and they traced the IP back to Russia.
01:39:42.000America, wake up and open your eyes to this is happening where how naive is it for us not to think that our enemies are trying to negatively affect what is happening here.
01:39:57.000Because this is the place where you can negatively affect it in the way that they can do it here, which is different than the way you could affect anything in Russia or China.
01:40:05.000Because of the fact that we have this freedom of expression.
01:40:11.000This is where our media has failed us.
01:40:13.000Because our media takes this horrible partisan position, whether you're on the left or the right, they only want to look at the things that show that the left or the right, depending on who your enemy is, is fucking up and how China or Russia, whoever you deem the player that's the key player,
01:40:30.000is influencing our elections because they want this person to win.
01:40:34.000So if you love America, you will vote against Trump because the Russians want Trump to win.
01:40:39.000This is the fucking narrative that keeps getting spit out at us.
01:41:36.000And the people that are saying that those are real people that speak perfect English, and they are in there, in those groups, just planting hate.
01:41:44.000So people just get madder and madder and madder.
01:42:11.000Like, I'm spending probably half of my waking hours right now developing a way to be able to train police officers and get something into every single police department so they can, like, you know, unconscious bias, training about how to de-escalate,
01:42:28.000understanding different cultures, right?
01:42:29.000If I'm walking down the street and I see a Sikh and I'm like, oh, is this a Muslim?
01:43:04.000If there's a problem in law enforcement, and there is, how do we fix that?
01:43:09.000Can we talk about that instead of trying to find the next poor Uber driver that gets lost and immediately calling him a racist?
01:43:16.000Or finding the next Antifa guy that is really just poor, lost his job, has been living in his mom's basement, and just needs something to do?
01:43:28.000Let's give them something to do, and let's make a positive impact.
01:43:31.000That is a real part of what's going on, too.
01:43:51.000A lost, weird, social outcast who found a home.
01:43:55.000And then is soaking up all this attention that he got for shooting a Trump supporter that he's claiming was out there trying to kill a friend of his of color.
01:44:23.000My brother's a sheriff, Nick, in California.
01:44:29.000And the things that he has to do in a day, you know, the number of people and interactions that he has to have, that he has had in his career.
01:44:38.000And every single time, is it going to be this Antifa guy that just shot somebody in Monterey?
01:44:45.000There was actually some Antifa guys that had thrown some pipe bombs in Oakland.
01:45:43.000But you can't train perfection, but you can train bad out of people.
01:45:48.000And that's one of the many reasons why I think training is so paramount.
01:45:53.000And, you know, to the election and people are always focusing on the bad, like, you gotta find solutions.
01:46:01.000If you're mad and you believe in Black Lives Matter, what is your solution?
01:46:06.000If you think that cops have a problem, like, I've found a solution.
01:46:13.000We're creating this virtual reality headset that we're going to be able to put into every single police department where they'll be able to listen to and interact with different ethnicities that are consistent with the populations that they work in.
01:46:28.000You know, like be able to identify unconscious bias.
01:46:31.000Like I'm pretty aware of the biases that I have because I look through the lens of my life through pretty jaded glasses, right?
01:46:40.000The things that I've gone and done and seen.
01:46:43.000But there's no way that I'm aware of all of them.
01:46:46.000But there are ways that you can train that out of people and that you can show them and explore.
01:46:52.000We have some of the best, brightest minds, PhDs, law enforcement trainers that are designing these things that we can put.
01:47:00.000Specular Theory is my partner in this.
01:47:02.000We can take these things and send them to every single law enforcement department and train people about how to interact.
01:47:09.000And when you're a hammer and everything looks like a nail, and you're going to all of these different interactions with like, is this guy going to shoot me?
01:48:33.000Not only that, but what you said earlier, if you do destroy that property, understand the lives that are going to be affected because that community is going to be entrenched in poverty.
01:49:41.000We all want the same thing and just finding out how to get there.
01:49:44.000I wonder what can be done to decouple us from the influence of social media in terms of like there's no way you could stop as of right now.
01:49:55.000There's no way you can stop things like the Internet Research Agency in Russia or all these different online groups that are just completely created just to fuck with people.
01:50:04.000There's no way we could stop that now.
01:50:28.000My buddy Shane and I were talking about gaslighting this morning, and he and his buddies flew their helicopters over the Trump parade that just happened here in Austin.
01:53:20.000I don't think you could take the final version of these two stories and be like, this is the same situation?
01:53:27.000There's no possible way that these two stories that went to the right and went to the left that I'm now trying to corroborate could have happened in the same situation.
01:53:41.000That's how far the lies or the partial truths go.
01:54:54.000Whether it's CNN or Fox News or OAN or whatever the fuck it is, whatever news source, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, they're all giant corporations.
01:55:05.000They all have huge political investments.
01:55:08.000And they're going to give you some super distorted version of what's actually...
01:55:16.000There's not one person who will sit down.
01:55:19.000There's no Walter Cronkite on television.
01:56:34.000Again, I really think that we're so limited because the distribution methods that we have right now for getting out information allow for biases.
01:56:44.000I don't know what the future has in store, but I think that we're going to come to a time in the not-so-distant future where you're going to be able to know exactly what's real and what's not real.
01:57:29.000Here's like the truth, not Wikipedia statistics, not like Google, also curated statistics, not like information driven from whatever news corporation, but just like the real data was next to that person as they're doing the next debate if a debate happens.
01:58:21.000But that doesn't matter because the ideas are the thing that we're voting on.
01:58:24.000But it doesn't matter because people want to see who can hang in a debate and they don't want to vote for a loser.
01:58:30.000So if the guy gets up there and falls apart in the debate and starts stumbling his words and starts flubbing and forgetting what he was talking about, like Biden's done on multiple occasions, a lot of people are not going to vote for him.
01:58:42.000I swear I thought they have a scheduled debate in a couple of weeks.
01:58:57.000Especially, like, I love it when local politicians do debates because those are, like, no-hold-barred truth attacks.
01:59:05.000You know, like, well, I know you took money from this auto park place, you know, and, like, this guy's like, well, I know you're getting money from, you know, Beto O'Rourke, and you're like, this is awesome, you know, like, I'm learning so much right now that there's no way I would have learned.
01:59:19.000We kind of have an idea about Trump's policies, but how do we learn about Biden's policies?
01:59:50.000There's supposed to be one in about three weeks, but he has not held a single mock debate, and he says he doesn't need to.
01:59:56.000President Trump has not held a single mock debate session, has no plans to stage a formal practice round as he readies for his first face-off with Joe Biden in less than three weeks, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.
02:00:05.000The president has dismissed the typical debate preparations.
02:00:07.000He participated in four years ago, joking to aides and allies that he's been preparing for debate since he was born.
02:00:14.000This is what happens to fighters when they get their ass kicked.
02:00:17.000His ability to fight back an opponent in real time, he's argued, isn't something you have to practice.
02:01:16.000And you would have to stream it live so no one can edit it.
02:01:18.000And I would want them in there for hours.
02:01:23.000We get to hear what they actually believe in, what they're going to do, who they're going to appoint, what judges are going to be coming in, what policies from gun control to all of it.
02:01:36.000This is 2020. I mean, we have the ability to have that.
02:01:39.000We're not talking about 1979. We're talking about 2020. If they wanted to do that, they both wanted to come here in Austin, sit down and have a debate, I would 100% do it.
02:02:42.000The only uncharted person, totally uncharted portion of the universe is the brain.
02:02:50.000You know, I had, as we used to say in the Senate, excuse the point of personal privilege here.
02:02:57.000I had two cranial aneurysms, and they literally had to take the top of my head off.
02:03:03.000I mean, they take a saw and they cut your head off and go in to find the artery that is One was leaking, the other that hadn't, before it burst.
02:03:14.000Those of your docs know every profession has their sick jokes.
02:03:20.000The joke among docs is, how do you know someone's had a cranial aneurysm?
02:03:28.000Only 20% of the people have it even get to the table.
02:03:32.000Well, one of the fascinating things is, the second operation, after the first one, which was a bleed, and they gave me a relatively low chance of surviving.
02:03:40.000I remember going down to the doc, asking the doc, you know, you're counting the ceiling tiles, and you're heading into the operating room.
02:04:47.000The only thing that comes from isolation is a Unabomber.
02:04:54.000There's nothing good that you can take a candidate and stick him in a basement and hide him there when he is going to have to be in front of 7 billion people and be their representative, both foreign and domestic, about how we're going to be operating.
02:07:36.000What I'm seeing though is that if you don't ignore all the things that are going on with Biden, somehow or another, you're a bad person.
02:07:46.000And that to me, as a person who's a comedian, as a person who hates fundamentalism, as a person who hates rabid ideology, that's driving me crazy.
02:07:55.000Because this shit is all right in front of you.
02:07:57.000You're watching him stumble through his words constantly left and right.
02:08:00.000We're ignoring the fact that he's 77 years old.
02:08:03.000We're ignoring all these signs that show...
02:08:05.000I'm not saying that you should vote for Trump.
02:08:08.000What I'm saying is, how the fuck are the Democrats running with this?
02:08:46.000Two terms, or six terms rather, six years as a congresswoman, two overseas tours, two.
02:08:55.000Been a congresswoman for six fucking years, exemplary record, really reasonable, really intelligent, displays all of the qualities of leadership that you would want from someone running for president.
02:09:55.000And not like, if we're going to solidarity to Black Lives Matter and believe that we can positively affect change, what she was doing as a cop, she's the worst of the cops.
02:10:05.000She was targeting in the most racist, vicious way, trying to attack the Black communities and black, you know, not even criminals, like drug users, and just hammered them with everything she possibly could.
02:11:34.000Well, I would love to have you have that, because the way you explain it, and from your own personal experience serving, this is not just some fucking airy-fairy ideas.
02:11:49.000I take little weird notes, and you could go, and they're all dated, from trips to Iraq, to Afghanistan, to Niger, to Nigeria, to Burkina Faso, to Mortania, to...
02:12:02.000Morocco to South Africa, like every freaking crazy place that I have to go.
02:12:06.000And you could look and then like go forward two years, three years and look again and be like, what?
02:12:13.000Like it's black and white written in front of you.
02:12:16.000And my impressions of physically being there at the same place removed by 24 months.
02:12:20.000And that has happened time and time again.
02:12:22.000But that's why I wanted to have you want to talk about this because this is a narrative that doesn't get discussed because it's either you're pro-Trump or you're pro-Biden and if you're for Trump you're a racist and if you're for Biden you're a fool.
02:12:34.000It's like these narratives are so goddamn stupid and they're so damaging to us and I think a lot of them have been reinforced and stoked.
02:12:42.000The flames have been stoked by people in other countries that are acting as trolls.
02:12:46.000I think that's a lot of what's going on.
02:13:21.000If you don't think that there are foreign operatives that are working here, both at universities and in cities, part of the political process or part of the Antifa strategic organization, they are doing this in real time in person, not just online.
02:13:42.000Strontium operating from Russia has attacked more than 200 organizations, including political campaigns, advocacy groups, parties, and political consultants.
02:13:50.000Zirconium operating in China has attacked high-profile individuals associated with the election, including people associated with the Joe Biden for President campaign and the prominent leaders in the international affairs community.
02:14:03.000Phosphorus operating from Iran Has continued to attack the personal accounts of people associated with Donald J. Trump for president campaign.
02:18:24.000So they're broke and scared and angry?
02:18:26.000And then they're even more subject to this shit?
02:18:29.000And now, as we're, what, five months removed, we're having that same conversation about schools.
02:18:34.000Well, schools is a necessary component for people to work.
02:18:37.000Like, if your kids aren't in school, you can't go to work, because that's a form of childcare for a lot of households.
02:18:43.000And we're like, ah, I'm not sure it's safe.
02:18:49.000I was joking about injecting myself with COVID in my neck.
02:18:52.000You could take my breastfed babies that eat elk and free-range chickens and have lived in safety and security their entire lives, and you could cover the whole entire room with COVID, and my 10-month-old is going to poop that stuff out in like an hour.
02:19:11.000My teenage daughters, we have not lived a day in this whole entire pandemic really recognizing what we're supposed to be doing.
02:19:19.000We have maintained health outside, activities, exercise, hunting, real food, and so, so better situated and prepared now for what looks like a scary six months in the future.
02:19:36.000I'm scared because this entire country, 6 billion people, have been locked up moving into an election that is going to be a frightening, dangerous election.
02:19:49.000Yeah, there's no winners in this election.
02:19:52.000Whoever wins is going to be chaos on the other side.
02:19:56.000When you say I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but here we are with a pandemic that shut down our economy for five months on an election year that looks like it was the origin is in China.
02:20:12.000I just think that, first of all, talking to Brett Weinstein about it, who's a biologist, and he went into great...
02:20:21.000If you're listening to this podcast, please go back and listen to the most recent podcast I did with Brett, which was like, what, four months ago, Jamie?
02:20:34.000He detailed the scientific reasons why he believes this came from a lab.
02:20:43.000And he said, I do not know for certain, but with reasonable speculation, you could look at this and say, this makes a lot of sense that it was coming from a lab because of these particular reasons.
02:20:57.000That lab was cited in 2018 for safety violations.
02:21:01.000China, because it's a communist country, because they're a dictatorship, there's not a lot of incentive to behave the way you would hope that an organization would behave.
02:21:16.000You're under the knife and the boot of the government all the time.
02:21:38.000So, 2018, they were cited for safety violations.
02:21:41.000This is exactly the same area where they're doing this work on coronaviruses from bats, and this is exactly where the origin of the disease was.
02:21:51.000It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it came from there.
02:21:53.000They don't think that it came on purpose, though.
02:21:56.000They think it was just a sloppy leak from the lab.
02:21:59.000Sometimes things happen where they're just perfectly aligned, and then people take advantage of those opportunities.
02:22:06.000They take advantage of these situations.
02:22:08.000There's a lot of people that believe that 9-11 was an inside job.
02:22:11.000What I think is, when 9-11 happened, I think there was many people that took advantage of the chaos.
02:22:19.000And there was things that were passed, like the Patriot Act.
02:23:18.000I think every single 20-year-old right now expects that every text message that they send and every Facebook message, DM, Instagram, Twitch, every one of those things can be read by somebody else.
02:24:03.000And if you are not a strong, healthy individual that is able to be self-sufficient and be able to rationally look at things without getting spun up by the echo chamber that you're living in in Twitter, you're going to allow that to happen because you're just being pitted against each other by this dribble that's being pushed into your face by people that are just trying to profiteer off of what you see and what you hear and what you think.
02:24:27.000That's exactly what I think is happening right now.
02:24:29.000That's exactly what I think is happening.
02:24:31.000I think there's people that are taking advantage of this crisis.
02:24:35.000So I think the way to fight that is as a society to unify.
02:24:43.000To reasonably, collectively be like, no.
02:26:18.000No, it's lessening the penalty for it.
02:26:21.000So let's say the trans community, LGBTQ community, was in big support of this bill.
02:26:30.000Because it's not fair for male to female.
02:26:34.000So if, let's say, a 17-year-old has sex with a 15-year-old and she gets pregnant, there is a law in place where he is not going to go on the sex registry because he,
02:26:52.000as a father to that child, would have a difficult time being able to, if he's on a sex registry, get a job, pay for child support.
02:27:00.000So they have kind of protections in place where if...
02:27:47.000Well, I recognize that, and I acknowledge that that's the case, and I want it to be fair, but I also don't want a 19-year-old or 24-year-old having sex with a 15-year-old.
02:28:36.000It might not be the worst idea in the world, but as far as, like, being responsible for your actions, 18 is a 18 is where, and that was the point of my post, is that that person can have consent.
02:30:02.000And when it comes to children heavily involved in counter-sex trafficking, moving from Deliver Fund to Guardian Group to now with Victor Marks, fighting worldwide and nationally, like...
02:30:18.000This disgusting thing that is pedophilia.
02:30:22.000That is not a sexual orientation and people in power like finding children to victimize and they are worth money.
02:30:30.000But there's a thing now where people are trying to portray it as a sexual inclination, as a sexual proclivity.
02:30:42.000Where this woman is talking about how we have to have compassion for pedophilia the same way we have compassion for homosexuals or trans people.
02:30:49.000And it's like, what are you talking about?
02:30:51.000Well, I mean, I have compassion for the person, but I'm not going to have compassion for any of their actions.
02:30:58.000And if they need help, we can get them help, like put them in an institution and they can realign whatever their problems are.
02:31:07.000But like being attracted to a child is...
02:33:31.000She's homeschooled all their kids and they're brilliant.
02:33:34.000Like play multiple instruments, um, like, you know, grades ahead of everybody else.
02:33:39.000And while the whole entire world is like, what are we going to do about education?
02:33:41.000My sister's like individual responsibility.
02:33:43.000You could have been doing it yourself.
02:33:45.000Not everybody has that opportunity, I understand.
02:33:47.000My parents being landowners, my brother being a police officer, we have been in California, that's where I grew up, and we have been fighting for rational, reasonable politics,
02:34:02.000and we feel like we're in a foreign land.
02:38:05.000Every time they walk up to a car, if you watch them, they go and they'll put their thumb or their hand on the back of the car so their print is on the car.
02:38:12.000So if they get killed there, later you can find out who did it.
02:39:32.000If you pull my wallet out, I have a license from the FAA. I had to send them a whole bunch of stuff for me to be able to get into a helicopter.
02:41:11.000There's like no proof of voter fraud by mail that I've looked up and found that anybody else has been looking up and finding just saying that it's going to be a problem without providing evidence.
02:41:33.000The same with the post office problem.
02:41:35.000They're like, no, we're not going to negatively affect the election.
02:41:40.000We're going to try to do everything that we can.
02:41:42.000But the post office is like, I don't know if we can do this right now.
02:41:45.000Yeah, when someone's saying there's no evidence for voter fraud in the past, yeah, right, but what percentage of people have voted by mail in the past?
02:46:18.000I found it in the transcripts, but I'm trying to say that how they found out that there's 112% of the people that are registered to vote, there's an explanation for it.
02:47:13.000Didn't she, she said, there was also a thing where she was confronted by a press person about that, and she said, read the rest of his quote.
02:47:22.000The rest of his quote, it wasn't just that, yes, I'm down, but because I don't want people to be in a panic about this, but I am concerned.
02:48:31.000He's out there barefooting on the lake at 40 miles an hour.
02:48:36.000He skis every single morning and all of his professional bull rider friends, they got gnarled hands from strapping into the bulls for so long, but they're still chunky shoulders, strained necks.
02:49:32.000Yeah, so I remember my dad's 40th birthday and all his 40-year-old friends were there.
02:49:37.000And I have to talk disparagingly about my dad's friends.
02:49:41.000But, you know, there were beer bellies, you know, and guys kind of hanging out talking war stories of, you know, their glory days and college athletics.
02:50:55.000Once more time into the fray, we'll go.
02:50:57.000Yeah, I don't think you people know what it's like to be both.
02:51:01.000Either people know what it's like to be tired and weak, or they know what it's like to be strong.
02:51:05.000But when you've been both, when you really know where it can slide into, and the only way you know that is if you've been strong.
02:51:12.000And most people never really get there.
02:51:14.000But when you get strong and then maybe you get a little bit sick or maybe you get injured and you go, fuck, once this ACL heals up, I'm getting back after it.
02:51:44.000But, like, you get this contagious itch, you know, and, like, you scratch the surface, and then you see what's on the other side, and you're like, oh, and then you scratch a little bit more, and you see, like, how fun, and, like, food tastes better, sex is more fun, you know, like, work is easier.
02:53:32.000You got a microphone now and you're yelling it out because you've got a whole bunch of other losers who'd gathered together and you could say nonsense and they all cheer.
02:53:40.000But I want all of those people on this side.
02:56:29.000A bunch of people are suing the city and the state for not providing the services that they had by taxes and legislation they're supposed to have.
02:56:43.000All because they're saying that the local government was complicit in letting these things happen by not protecting, by not having police come and say, nope, you can't do this.
02:56:53.000There's a law that prohibits you from, because a guy has a cell phone and you don't know who that guy is, you don't get to go beat him.
02:57:00.000I don't have control of this business, so I'm going to go smash the windows and burn it down.
02:57:05.000All those things are happening within that Chaz.
02:57:08.000We're like, well, there's laws against that, right?
02:57:12.000But you guys weren't enforcing any of these.
02:57:14.000So the lawsuit is that these people are complicit.
02:57:16.000And it's like, it's going to be, one of them was a father of a murdered kid is suing the, I think the city of Seattle for allowing that to happen.
