Comedian and actor Mike Flanagan joins Jemele to discuss the dangers of going out at night and how to deal with them. He also talks about how the government should have been able to tell people what they can and can't do in terms of what they should and shouldn't do when it comes to going out on the town and how they should be able to handle it. He also gives us some tips and tricks on how to survive a night out with friends and family and what to look out for when you re out and about in general. And, of course, we have a special guest on the show to talk about drugs and alcohol and how dangerous it is to go out and do what you need to do in order to survive the night out.

00:01:41.000I think if I was locked up for six months and I couldn't go out, and then one of my favorite comics was in town, I'm like, fuck, let's go out, let's go out, let's go do it.
00:03:09.000You can't just allow people to go bankrupt and never be able to work.
00:03:15.000Well, it's also like Thomas Sowell, the economist, said, he's like, one of my favorite quotes, he goes, there's no solutions, there's only trade-offs.
00:03:23.000So if you tell everyone, yes, you might keep some people healthy, but at what level of damage to the economy, to people's livelihoods, suicide is up, child abuse is up, there's all kinds of problems that come from a lockdown.
00:03:59.000It's the saddest fucking time ever because people are losing their jobs and they're losing their livelihoods and they didn't do anything wrong.
00:05:29.000But if you're like a regular person who lives by themselves or lives with some friends and you want to be able to go out and you're willing to take the risk, You should be able to.
00:05:49.000After 9-11, the government took a lot of power, supposedly for very good, virtuous reasons of keeping America safe and protecting everybody.
00:05:55.000And a lot of those powers, they never let them go.
00:05:57.000Are we going to go right into conspiracies?
00:06:24.000Somebody, oh, it doesn't even sound great.
00:06:26.000But the idea of it is like, if you're in contact with people, they trace who you were in contact with because of COVID. They're going to do that for other reasons and you're not going to like it.
00:06:34.000They're going to use that technology to trace people that are considered antisocial personality disorder or whatever it is.
00:06:40.000They don't like what you posted on Facebook.
00:10:23.000Even though it's not about me, it has nothing to do with me, I would still occasionally run into things that bothered me or run into behavior that annoyed me.
00:10:31.000And I'm like, why am I focusing on some person that doesn't even have a real name?
00:10:35.000Their name is like, you know, fucking A plus Y. I stopped the comments when one of them said that...
00:10:42.000We think Whitney Cummings is Tim Dillon's CIA handler.
00:11:00.000I started laughing, but I'm like, because it's people's mental illness.
00:11:03.000You're just living in people's very dysfunctional minds.
00:11:07.000Well, there's people I know, that I know, not good friends, but I know pretty casually, that will tell me that they think the CIA talks to me about who I can have on the show.
00:11:19.000Because I've had Mike Baker on, the guy who used to be in the CIA. He's still in.
00:12:08.000Yeah, but I just think it's hilarious the idea that they have to now check who's on a podcast.
00:12:12.000Yeah, I don't know if it's the CIA. I mean, I don't know who's doing that, but it's someone in government most certainly has relationships with Hollywood.
00:12:20.000And also, like, the people in Hollywood, if the CIA calls you up and you're doing a movie like Zero Dark Thirty, and they go, we'd like to talk to you about this, like, Fuck yeah.
00:12:28.000We're going to talk to the CIA. We're going to talk to the SEALs.
00:12:31.000We're going to talk to the NSA. You want to know.
00:12:33.000Yeah, you want to know, but then they can also feed you whatever information they want.
00:14:07.000Because we're in a gotcha soundbite culture, right?
00:14:09.000So one of the ways they'll digest your show or my show is someone will put a clip up, look what this piece of shit Tim Dillon said, and it'll have something that you said completely out of context in a two and a half hour rant where you're just like talking...
00:14:51.000But if you take that and you don't understand that that's a funny thing to say, and that there is no hell probably, and I don't know who's there, but that's the funny angle to say.
00:15:17.000Like, that's why you say it, because everyone knows you're not supposed to say it, and then you go and say it, and like, oh my god, and that's what's funny.
00:15:25.000The idea that you're holding people to those thoughts as if this is like an affidavit, and they've signed this, and they've worked it out with lawyers, and this is my position, and this is where I stand.
00:15:34.000No, you're literally talking off the cuff, saying something preposterous like, Ruth Bader Ginsburg It's the unexpected.
00:15:55.000It's the crazy just out there say the most insane thing you can.
00:16:01.000Well, the thing about it today though is everyone is looking to catch people saying things you shouldn't say and getting mad at you and then they want to silence you.
00:16:44.000And I didn't know if the guy was right or if he was wrong.
00:16:46.000I just knew what was happening was hilarious and interesting.
00:16:50.000And I was curious about what other people in the world – I was a young kid being driven around by my parents.
00:16:55.000But I'm like – I was curious about what other people in the world thought, what they were saying.
00:17:00.000Because when you listen to those talk radio shows, you're in a car, you're driving around, and you hear some psychopath that's calling Bob Grant.
00:17:06.000Like they used to say to Bob Grant, they'd be like, you know, you really disappointed me.
00:17:10.000And Bob Grant would go, do you know me?
00:17:12.000Do you have any knowledge of who I am?
00:17:21.000Now it seems like there's this death of curiosity where no one is curious about what anyone else is thinking unless it happens to be what they're thinking.
00:17:29.000It has to coincide exactly with how you view the world.
00:17:35.000It's part of it is social media and part of it is Trump.
00:17:38.000Trump has, his brand of being president, his way of doing it, has polarized people so hard that they will do anything and everything they can to keep him from being president again, from being president a second term.
00:17:56.000You have to comply with our view of what's going on in the world.
00:18:02.000I find it fascinating just going through my Instagram feed and looking at people who are Trump supporters and Trump haters and looking at their perspectives.
00:19:24.000But some people, they lack that self-awareness, and all they want is likes, right?
00:19:31.000So they try to figure out, what can I say to get people thinking that I'm really progressive and really open-minded, and what can I say that really hits the tone and gets a lot of juicy likes?
00:19:41.000I'd like to hit about 2,000 likes on this one.
00:19:45.000It's so weird, because to me, social media is so fun, because the people that are really the best at it are 15, right?
00:20:14.000Social media should be a joke because it is a joke.
00:20:16.000Because the people that are really monetizing it, like a lot of those people, they're 16-year-olds and they're dancing around and it's like, and it's unserious.
00:21:25.000Too many people like it for everybody to jump off, but I think enough people are going to understand because of documentaries like The Social Dilemma and conversations that they have with each other about it, where they're going to check out.
00:22:36.000Some parent will buy this for the kid and be like, you can have a phone, but all you can have is a light phone, and then kids will hack it.
00:24:56.000It's not that wall there that's between you on social media.
00:25:00.000It's also like when someone's writing something and you're not there in front of them, they're just writing it and then you have to read it and then you write something back.
00:25:09.000We have an amazing way to communicate.
00:25:12.000It involves looking at each other, it involves being near each other, it involves registering when you say something mean and it bothers a person.
00:25:22.000All that stuff's out the window when you're just texting.
00:30:25.000Yeah, and the government, I mean, this is what nobody really wants to admit, that the United States government, at all levels, has in many ways, like...
00:30:36.000Been either a kind of, I won't say a sponsor of this on the whole, but there's elements of the CIA that have allowed things like this to happen in order to get information on people.
00:30:48.000Well, that was the idea about the Epstein thing.
00:30:51.000Was that they let him do that so that they would have something over these people.
00:30:56.000And that is sick beyond human comprehension and most people don't want to really admit that's happening.
00:31:02.000And when I think, like a lot of the cute people found that stuff out, then their brains melted and they were like, oh, but David Spade's eating kids.
00:31:12.000What it is, is that you have a lot of people that are Getting educated overnight, and their minds cannot handle the amount of information, much of it very disturbing.
00:31:27.000Remember last week when you asked, that was the first time that that happened, the Epstein-style story, and I mentioned that.
00:31:48.000A guy named Nick Bryant wrote a book about it, and there was an interstate pedophile network that was trafficking kids to wealthy and powerful people, many of them in the government.
00:32:04.000I had some guys on the podcast that blew my mind.
00:32:07.000I was a conspiracy guy and I had no idea that this was going on, but a lot of it is blackmail and a lot of it is people allowing the worst things imaginable to happen to children in order to gain leverage on other people.
00:32:19.000That's what was happening with Epstein.
00:32:21.000That's what was happening with Franklin.
00:32:23.000But it's also people that have that hunger.
00:32:25.000They have this appetite for that shit.
00:32:51.000But the core premise, which is that human trafficking is a horrible, insidious thing that is connected to many high-powered people, isn't necessarily wrong.
00:33:23.000And he said, it's something to the degree of, when will it come out that John Podesta is protecting sexual predators or something like that?
00:34:21.000He made a name for himself and made a name for his company.
00:34:24.000That's the the problem with those guys is yeah, like whenever someone goes way out of their way to do stunts and to do things It's like yeah, and then something else if you're involved in something and then it's legitimate now I have to go right what is it?
00:34:42.000that The guy, what the fuck is his name?
00:34:47.000That guy that's always doing the undercover shit.
00:35:31.000So it's like, whenever someone can't be straight with you, and they have little tricks, and they have stunts, whenever that, you go...
00:35:41.000I think the argument that those guys make is that to get any attention in the climate that we're in, It's almost impossible to do it with like a sober, reasoned, rational approach.
00:36:33.000Do you think I know how to pronounce Ilhan Omar's name?
00:36:36.000When I looked today, because I saw it yesterday, the initial response I saw was probably more from liberal sides for being like, this is just to fog the conversation because of all the tax stuff that just came out.
00:36:51.000Take this with a grain of salt because of his history.
00:36:53.000Yeah, but it takes time to gather up that kind of information.
00:36:57.000I don't buy that it's just when the tax stuff came out because that seems like something they've been working on for a while.
00:38:03.000When something like that gets revealed, and...
00:38:07.000The more of those that turn out to not be true, there should be a number of those you could pull off before we go, alright, we can't listen to you anymore.
00:38:58.000I mean, it was funny because he was tweeting out that she said something about how voter fraud is, like, the numbers of voter fraud are so minuscule.
00:40:33.000The problem is the stuff where he actually did catch executives or, excuse me, catch employees that were talking about how they make it so that conservative voices don't get heard.
00:40:49.000And whether or not it is top-down or whether or not the tools are available to employees and they act as activists, that's possible too.
00:40:58.000Another thing, too, I was reading about this.
00:41:00.000I think it's about ballot harvesting, and according to this article, it says that it's actually not illegal in Minnesota, but there have been propositions currently.
00:41:07.000I think Tulsi Gabbard put something up to have it be made illegal, I think, nationwide.
00:41:12.000So ballot harvesting is not something I understand.
00:41:17.000I wish I could, but from what I read quickly about it, Certain workers who are not supposed to be paid by anyone, which is part of like, you're not supposed to be paid for this, is where it gets muddy.
00:41:28.000You're allowed to go collect ballots from people to then turn them in.
00:43:05.000Yeah, and she's going to do all of her press conferences from that very beauty salon where she didn't wear a mask.
00:43:12.000I heard if, I think if the president doesn't accept the results or whatever, and there is like a time period where it's not decided, she does become the default.
00:43:19.000Oh yeah, she's the third person in charge.
00:44:57.000You're just a good guy who wants to do well for the working people.
00:45:02.000And your idea is to take a small fraction, less than a penny, of these speculation trades, and then take the money off of that and dedicate it to social causes.
00:48:51.000Maybe he found the perfect girl after he'd already knocked up this other chick, and this other chick he fucking hated, but he vowed to take care of the baby.
00:51:43.000Did you see the thing where Tucker Carlson was playing all these videos of Chris Cuomo talking to Michael Cohen, coaching him on what to say when he interviews him?
00:55:04.000He's bigger than me, and there's a video of me on Instagram with a 92-pound kettlebell, and I'm cleaning it and pressing it 10 times over my head.
00:57:44.000And you have this conservative in William F. Buckley, who really seems like a cunt, and you got Gore Vidal, who's like, my version of what a liberal should be.
01:00:38.000I was like, I was just getting, so 87 means I was 20, which means I was just getting out of the house.
01:00:44.000I was just getting out of the house when I was 20 and I was living with my friends.
01:00:48.000And I was kind of a loser who was also a winner.
01:00:52.000Like, I was a martial arts winner, but I was a loser as far as like, if you looked at me on paper, like, what are you doing with your life, kid?
01:01:02.000And I was trying to figure out what made sense and I heard about this and I went to see it.
01:01:06.000And I also went to see a Yoko Ono art exhibit.
01:01:10.000One of the Yoko Ono art pieces, Yoko Ono, she had a block of wood with nails in it and there was a box of nails and a hammer and she encouraged people to participate in the art.
01:01:25.000She wanted you to pick up a nail and knock it into the wood and that was her art.
01:01:31.000She's like, I want to encourage participation.
01:02:33.000There's a thought process now that if you're talking at all about trans people, you have to be 100% supportive.
01:02:41.000You can never question whether or not children should be allowed to transition, babies, hormone blockers for prepubescent, Right.
01:03:06.000Are there some people that are very happy they transitioned and they're much more happy in the gender of their choice, how they feel, than the gender of their birth?
01:04:10.000There's got to be space for conversation.
01:04:13.000And I think that a lot of this, you know, rigid, you know, allegiance to, I mean, listen, we all know that trans people are, in many cases, are much happier when they transition and they have better, productive, fulfilling lives.
01:04:26.000Everybody, I don't think anybody does, like, there are people that don't want that, but they're probably a minority.
01:04:32.000It's probably a small minority of people.
01:04:33.000The spectrum of human beings and their happiness is so fucking broad that to say that all heterosexual people are happy or all homosexual people are happy or all trans people are happy is nonsense.
01:06:18.000Look, I had a friend who reached out to me and was saying thank you because my daughter has friends and four of them just decided they're trans together and they're all awkward and I've been trying to tell her that this is probably statistically not even possible, that they would all be trans like this.
01:06:34.000There might be something else and then they read this book or they hear about this conversation and without even looking into it they just decided that it's transphobic.
01:06:42.000It's not transphobic to say that some people will regret transitioning.
01:08:25.000I mean, half the fucking time you and I are talking, if you took what we say out of quote, which is one of the things they did with the Bernie Sanders thing, they took things and put them in quotes, and some of them were so ridiculous.
01:09:13.000If you're a 23-year-old woke kid, and you're working for this company, and you think you're going to put your foot down...
01:09:17.000Well, isn't it that just in the beginning of tech, everybody that got into tech, it was like nerds, it was woke people, people that are like...
01:12:45.000So what happens is if they get rid of that, then states would vote on it and states would decide what the appropriate – they would have to make their laws.
01:12:53.000See, the problem is what if there's an 18-year-old girl and she – abortion in the United States is legal.
01:13:07.000If you make it the state's rights and a girl just turns 18 and a law comes into place and all abortion gets shut down, she doesn't have any money, and she's fucked.
01:13:45.000As long as you still have people with a very kind of religious view of when life begins.
01:13:52.000Because you can't argue with somebody who says, if life begins the minute that you have conception, then stem cell research, which is very beneficial to people, and abortion.
01:14:03.000The good news is that stem cell research is advanced to the point where they don't have to do that anymore.
01:14:06.000Well, the good news is two people, I think, are getting smarter and realizing that they can't legislate things based on a book that was written 2,000 years or whatever.
01:14:13.000I mean, you hope that that's the case.
01:14:15.000But now, you know, we have – now they're legislating from, you know – But they're writing the books as we...
01:14:20.000They're writing the new religions as we speak.
01:14:21.000So this lady that Trump wants to nominate...
01:15:43.000So it's like Biden's going to spend a few months in the Oval Office, a couple of photo ops, and then Kamala's getting in and you're going to jail.
01:17:32.000I'm not smart enough to figure out the pros and cons of either.
01:17:34.000But I just know that when you have such a small three or four companies, these motherfuckers have more power than Carnegie, Rockefeller, all of the people.
01:17:42.000I mean, these people have access to your thoughts.
01:18:09.000Like, they had an engineer, a back engineer of the software, and he said, this is the worst violation of privacy features I've ever seen ever in any application.
01:19:25.000A new version of iOS wouldn't be the same without a bunch of security and privacy updates.
01:19:30.000Apple on Monday announced a ton of new features that bake into iOS 14. Expect it out later this year with the release of new iPhones and iPads that we'll use.
01:19:39.000It will allow users to share your approximate location with apps instead of your precise location.
01:19:44.000It will allow apps to take a rough location if you're identifying precisely where you are.
01:19:48.000Another option users will have is when they give over their location.
01:19:54.000Oh wait a minute, camera and mic recording.
01:19:57.000It will also get a camera and microphone recording indicator on the status bar.
01:20:02.000Oh my god, is that what that light is?
01:20:03.000Then someone's been recording me all day long.
01:22:14.000But the trade-off that's positive is like, say if you go to a website and it recommends you an ad, and the ad is like some things you're into.
01:23:22.000If you want to give away your privacy, you should have a little box you check on every little app that you sign.
01:23:29.000And then if that comes along, I will be a fucking loyal Apple customer for life.
01:23:34.000I just think whether it's the government or whether it's private corporations, the whole fear here is that malevolent forces or bad actors get a hold of this data, right?
01:23:58.000But iOS, whether it's iMessage, iMessage is more secure than SMS. If you have a Google phone, unless you're using WhatsApp, You're sending a regular text message.
01:28:09.000It's weird that Google hasn't figured that out, that Android hasn't figured out a way to make a version of iMessage that works on iMessage.
01:28:25.000That seems to be the issue now is that you can't do anything without being in business with some of these companies, whether it's Facebook, YouTube, Google, Amazon.
01:28:34.000You have those five companies that run tech.
01:28:35.000You've got to be in business with them if you want anything.
01:29:06.000The fact that they're doing this in the middle of their education system is falling apart.
01:29:12.000These poor kids were getting a terrible education before.
01:29:15.000Their top priority should be fixing their education system.
01:29:19.000Instead, how much time are they wasting putting together this thing, this virtue signaling thing where you're trying to make banned cars, new cars that are gasoline cars by 2035?
01:29:30.000Yeah, their whole argument is now that the fires are here and people realize that it's a problem, blah, blah, blah.
01:29:41.000Well, the other thing is, you know, they pass a carbon tax in New York City and Ubers started costing a lot more money.
01:29:47.000A lot of people in New York City used Uber pools to get to work because the subway in New York, which is an old legacy system, doesn't always run efficiently.
01:29:55.000So people that were going to work in Ubers and especially the Uber pool feature, it was very cheap.
01:30:00.000They instituted a carbon tax and a congestion tax.
01:30:03.000All of a sudden, the Uber rates went up.
01:30:04.000And now people were unable, couldn't afford to get to work.
01:30:07.000So it's like, yes, you're helping the environment, but you're damning people in that respect.
01:30:11.000Here's my favorite thing they just passed.
01:30:13.000They're allowing transgender inmates to go to the prison of the gender they choose.
01:30:19.000So violent male sex offenders who decided they're trans can go to women's prisons.
01:30:31.000Bridget Phetasy sent me a thread on Twitter where this journalist goes over all of the issues that they've had with people turning trans in Canada and doing this and all the horrible people that have gotten into female prisons.
01:35:53.000And it was funny, her talking about it on the show, that was it her mom or her grandma was saying, well, it's better than her being in LA doing drugs.
01:38:05.000I'm doing a show in San Antonio tomorrow night.
01:38:07.000There's a few tickets left, but I just added it because I said I just want to do a show while I'm here and everything in Austin is RIP Cap City.
01:39:24.000A drug maker says it halted a coronavirus vaccine study because a woman who received the experimental shot developed severe neurological symptoms.
01:40:48.000I mean, listen, there's a lot of credible people That not saying all vaccines are bad, but saying that there are real problems with certain vaccines and the amount of vaccines that kids are getting.
01:41:04.000They're getting a lot of vaccines in a very short period of time.
01:41:48.000If you make things mandatory, like if you make everyone have to take a vaccine, think about there's 300-whatever-million people, and most of them have been vaccinated.
01:41:57.000You're going to have a lot of people that have problems.
01:43:40.000It's not that we shouldn't vaccinate because if we didn't vaccinate all these fucking kids that are getting the mumps now and measles and all these different serious diseases that can really fuck people up.
01:44:02.000Yeah, but I think that a lot of people are, you know, because with coronavirus, they are just skeptical because the whole thing has been just handled poorly and nobody knows what's going on and the information is so bad and nobody trusts anybody anymore.
01:44:14.000The idea that you're just going to show up to CVS and somebody's going to just shoot you in the arm with this synthetic coronavirus, people don't.
01:47:07.000You got to expect a certain amount of discussion when you are the guy inserting yourself into this very kind of volatile debate about public health and you're telling people they need to be vaccinated to travel and these are the standards that you want people to adapt.
01:47:28.000Listen, man, he could have just been a billionaire that swam in his fucking pool.
01:47:31.000Why do you think he talked about that, like telling people that they need to be vaccinated?
01:47:36.000I guess if you give him the benefit of the doubt, he wants to help people, I guess.
01:47:40.000Let's not give him the benefit of the doubt.
01:47:42.000Okay, if we don't give him the benefit of the doubt, we'll say that he wants the world to look exactly like he thinks there's necessary and unnecessary things.
01:47:50.000He thinks that he should be in charge of people's health, public health, or that he thinks that a group of scientists or him and his foundation should be in charge of public health.
01:50:04.000And him and Warren Buffett, that other fraud, Warren Buffett's like, oh, I live in my little house I've always lived in, and I drink Cokes.
01:55:12.000Like when they have the transgender drag queen reading to the kids, I'm like, great, I don't care about that, but it's also like, why are you doing that?
01:55:25.000Do you think it's because on Twitter and social media, people can say things and get likes so that they make these statements and they feel like they did a good job in making that statement and a lot of people, it resonated with them.
01:55:38.000People are very invested in being a victim.
01:55:41.000So when gay people started to mainstream and you got marriage and you got this and that, you weren't really a victim anymore.
01:55:47.000So then what happened is people started saying queer and this and that and we're very different and now we don't...
01:55:52.000And so now a lot of these non-binary people with all due respect is that A lot of these people are white women in upper middle class colleges like Wesleyan and Oberlin and places like that who don't want to be a victim.
01:56:06.000I mean, they don't want to be an oppressor, but they're rich white chicks.
01:56:11.000So by saying I'm non-binary, you're automatically now, you're not in...
01:58:14.000Truly, they care about if there's a line at Chick-fil-A and if their water bill's paid.
01:58:17.000They don't give a shit about your life.
01:58:19.000But this idea that people are oppressing you and they're constantly invested and they're hunting and they're behind the trees and they're coming for you.
02:01:24.000He said that when you criticize both sides, you end up illustrating a deeper truth.
02:01:29.000Which is about humanity, which is what comedy is supposed to do.
02:01:33.000So if you look at two sides and go this and this, and you kind of try to make fun of them, and you have no sacred cows or whatever, you end up illustrating something deeper about humanity, which people can learn more from, and then reorient themselves in a productive way about any issue.
02:03:40.000By the way, if you were having a problem...
02:03:43.000If you were in a car accident and everything like that, and you're just sitting there and you want somebody to help you, and you see Ellen and Bill Gates, does that make anyone feel comfortable?
02:03:51.000No, I think they don't give a fuck if I die.
02:04:50.000They have screens flipped up vertically for the audience so she can see them and there's people at home like they're doing for the NBA games.
02:07:48.000I was from 6. First play was 6. 6 to 12. And then 12, that was it.
02:07:54.000Thank God you gave up before your puberty kicked in.
02:07:57.000Yeah, but I got out, but I was in that game, and I would audition against people like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, like real deal dudes who made it.
02:12:17.00019, I was, you know, 9, so 1994. Wow, you could still smoke cigarettes in front of kids back then?
02:12:23.000Yeah, oh, back then it was, kids would just shut up.
02:12:26.000We would take, my friend's mother would drive us around, she would smoke bots, my friend's father would smoke bots and roll the windows up.
02:12:31.000Oh, that's the dirtiest, that's the dirtiest.
02:12:33.000Yeah, just smoke, she would smoke Marlboros.
02:12:56.000Well, LA was a big deal, because they stopped it in bars, and I remember Drew Carey was complaining.
02:13:03.000I don't think Drew Carey even smoked, but he was just complaining for the business, for Barney's Beanery, because they blocked it at Barney's, and everybody's like, what?
02:15:23.000They said that the transmission rates are probably lower there than if you were in an elevator or an enclosed small room or something like that.
02:15:30.000It's weird how contagious this disease is.
02:15:32.000Well, you say that, but I know a guy who just tested positive and his girlfriend's not positive and they've been living together.
02:16:31.000But, you know, it's not nearly as big of an issue with children anyway.
02:16:35.000One of the things the Florida governor did is he put up a chart that showed the fatality rate for people that are, you know, under this age, over that age, and he went through all the things.
02:17:48.000It's like you're going to tell people to vote.
02:17:49.000There's so much better advice or equally as good advice.
02:17:53.000Tell them other things and nobody tells anyone anything.
02:17:55.000So yeah, they've said not a word about immune health and they've said not a word about preventative measures you can take other than sitting in your house and going broke.
02:18:02.000Yeah, the crazy thing in LA, they're talking about schools and when schools are going to open up.
02:18:44.00079% of America is deficient in vitamin D. The other thing about Fauci just seems to me, I've always believed Italians shouldn't be doctors.
02:24:18.000Well, that's going to get worse and worse unless people figure out a way to get people back to work and get people mental health care and get people all kinds of shit.
02:24:26.000Bridget Phetasy sent me a video that she took from Venice.
02:26:35.000Well, they're doing this dumb shit like putting boulders under the things, and you can't do that.
02:26:38.000You're just going to make them move, and then they're going to be somewhere else with a tent.
02:26:42.000I guess you fix your mental health care.
02:26:43.000The problem is they keep trying to build this low-cost housing, but I think it's like $740,000 per unit of low-cost housing.
02:26:49.000I was like, why is it costing that much?
02:26:51.000There's so much regulation and red tape.
02:26:52.000And they won't let them do drugs there, so they leave.
02:26:55.000And if you don't make it illegal for them to just have tents on fucking sidewalks where you can't walk around, you've got to walk on the highway because there's fucking tents everywhere.
02:28:05.000You know, these problems, whether it's the fires, the economy, the homeless people, it's a perfect storm, and Los Angeles is just in deep, deep trouble, and they're not opening up anytime soon.
02:28:19.000I didn't realize how important it is to have a good mayor until I saw this shit happen, and a good governor.
02:28:24.000Well, if you want to feel better about Los Angeles, go right over to New York City, and Bill de Blasio has destroyed 15 years of progress in five months.
02:29:32.000If you were a tourist or if you were somebody visiting the city, it would not be a place you would feel comfortable or safe.
02:29:37.000And they defunded the police by like $100 million, right?
02:29:39.000Yeah, they're taking money away and they're going to have less cops.
02:29:41.000And then instead of trying to figure out and solve some of these problems, they're just trying to like, again, they want to win on Twitter.
02:29:46.000They want to win the war on Twitter, right?
02:29:48.000It's like that's what Hillary Clinton, she tried to win the election on Twitter.
02:31:50.000And Giuliani, he did a great job, but because he's kind of a little bit of a cretin and a lot of people forgot how bad it was, they don't give him any of the credit for that.
02:31:59.000They say all of the credit's to go to somebody else, but the reality was it was a lot of the new initiatives that he kind of...
02:32:23.000That's why the amount of people that...
02:32:26.000Glorify or excuse random acts of violence against people and private property in the pursuit of a political aim to me.
02:32:33.000That is the single craziest development in my life, I'm 35, that I've seen, that the media and even political figures excuse random violence and chaos against innocent people and their property in service of an overall political point.
02:33:35.000You remember that video where there's these kids in the house and they're watching these people march by and they give them the thumbs up and people start throwing rocks to their window?
