00:04:58.000So, a couple years ago, everyone's talking about Pride Month, all these companies change their profile pictures, and I was thinking, like, why aren't they changing their pictures for Independence Day, like, for an American flag?
00:05:13.000When it's in your heart, though, it's every day of the year, so you don't have to change your profile.
00:05:18.000You don't have to, but my view actually is the reason they do the pride flag thing is intentionally to attack culture and to force all the other companies to fall in line.
00:05:29.000And so you need a counterculture to say America instead.
00:05:32.000And now we've seen a lot of these companies dump those flags from their bios and their profiles.
00:05:52.000I think they have to say that, because Biden's got a lot of donors who have already put up money, but I think behind the scenes they know what the plan is.
00:05:59.000Biden might, there's rumors actually going around right now on X, Biden might resign.
00:06:04.000And these are, these are Beltway people, I'll pull up the tweet in a second, saying he's actually planning to resign the presidency in a week.
00:06:10.000That seems a bit bold, so I don't know that I believe that would happen.
00:06:15.000We'll pull that one up next, though, but for now we'll get through this.
00:06:18.000Biden reportedly told an ally that he may not be able to salvage his campaign if he is unable to convince the public in the coming days that he is still able to do the job.
00:06:26.000The ally stressed that Biden is still in the fight for re-election, but understands that his next few appearances will be critical.
00:06:33.000One of those interviews will take place with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Friday, and it's going to be an edited interview, probably.
00:06:39.000Yeah, it's not live, they've already said.
00:07:23.000And he was presenting like a path forward for a Joe Biden-less election.
00:07:27.000And one of the things he said was like, From now on out, the whole media is just going to point out every single time he stumbles, every time he breathes heavily, every time he walks weirdly.
00:07:39.000And it makes you want to be like, I know we've already been talking about it for like a year.
00:07:43.000It's almost amazing how much of a shock all of this is to a lot of Democrats.
00:07:48.000Well, the White House damage control is late.
00:07:50.000I mean, they tried to do some saving grace right after the debate.
00:07:53.000They went to that Waffle House impromptu.
00:07:56.000Jill Biden gave that really condescending, like, you did so well.
00:10:52.000Yeah, I think his ego is too intertwined with this.
00:10:54.000And when we get reports like this, I almost think it's people on staff who are saying, we've been trying to tell him that he must step aside, but you know, it's not going well or whatever.
00:11:06.000It just does not seem like a path that Joe Biden will voluntarily pick.
00:11:10.000And I don't think he cares about, you know, what is good for the party or what's good down ticket.
00:11:15.000He only cares about, you know, getting as much time in the White House as humanly possible.
00:11:20.000But you're mentioning, you know, Nixon.
00:11:22.000Is the deep state going to let him just sit there and occupy the space they're trying to take?
00:11:26.000Well, as they did with Nixon, they will go to him and say, Mr. President, if you don't Resign we're going to have to do something like the 25th amendment, right?
00:11:35.000If you don't resign we are going to take this take the necessary steps that will put you in such an awkward position So this is the best way to do it so they may force him to resign but Voluntarily the sense of magnanimity or love of the country that he realizes, you know, my diminished capacity is great That's why I do is not capable of doing it.
00:11:54.000I That's why I do think he's going to step down.
00:11:57.000I mean, you look at what Tucker Carlson's saying.
00:12:30.000Well, it'll be Barack, because he's the male hero archetype everyone loves, and then he'll bring the Obama name back into the spotlight, and then Michelle will step out, and Barack can't run again.
00:12:37.000No, what's going to happen is Joe's going to grasp his chest and go CRAW on stage and fall over, and Michelle's going to run out, rip off her high heels, full sprint, and lift him up with one arm and carry him to safety.
00:12:51.000And feminist crowds everywhere go wild!
00:12:54.000I kind of agree with you guys, both of you actually.
00:13:09.000Maybe we accuse Joe Biden of working for Vladimir Putin.
00:13:15.000That's potentially a way to get rid of him, and then you can impeach him over what he did in Ukraine.
00:13:19.000I mean, how about the LNG pause that has made Vladimir Putin incredibly rich and he used all that money to start a war, to fund his army and make further encroachments into Ukraine?
00:13:33.000I mean, there's a lot of things that Biden has done that has made Putin rich and that has made Iran rich, and both of those countries, when they have a lot of money, now we're in the energy space, what do they do when they have a lot of money?
00:14:46.000But but going on what you said, I declare that we need those platitudes that politicians always use, like, look, this isn't the time for partisan politics.
00:14:53.000We need to come together as a country.
00:14:55.000We need to stand with our commander in chief.
00:15:50.000And this was what Dean Phillips, who was running as a Democrat against Biden in the primary, this was one of his talking points, was he's gone a little too far left, a little too aggressively without the consent and the input of the American people, and he's too old for the job, and we need young blood.
00:16:06.000And Dean Phillips, so much so that he basically had to give up his congressional seat.
00:16:56.000And I think in part it's because no one wants to look at Dean Phillips and say, you actually had really good points and we just made fun of you until you basically had to leave and now we've really created an issue.
00:17:07.000I mean, even when they talk about potential names, his name doesn't get thrown around even though he was willing to say something.
00:17:12.000Was willing to throw his hat in the ring.
00:17:13.000And to be fair, part of it is people launch presidential campaigns to raise their profile, you know?
00:17:22.000So yes, she is becoming this front and center name.
00:17:26.000People are starting to say, oh, well, yes, I would support her.
00:17:29.000The Democratic senator from South Carolina said that.
00:17:32.000But it's not their first choice, right?
00:17:35.000If Joe Biden had said, I'm not going to run again, and she had announced she was running, I don't actually think she would necessarily win the Democratic primary on her own.
00:18:02.000And again, we would probably disagree on everything in terms of policy and politics.
00:18:05.000He is still very much a committed Democrat and probably a fairly left Democrat.
00:18:09.000But one of the things I did like about him, which I thought showed character, was he said, once at a rally, I went to a Trump rally on my own, and I just walked around the crowd.
00:18:45.000This is big, and I want to preface this with, I'm going to need more confirmation than that, Tom, but Tom was willing to actually tweet this out based on what's going on in D.C.
00:18:56.000Tom, of course, is from Judicial Watch.
00:19:16.000And that tweet alone says, I'll keep my eye on things and I will be ready if this is to be the case.
00:19:22.000But considering the top level Democrats who have come out, the obstacle of swapping out Joe Biden with Kamala Harris next in line, we've long speculated on this show, the only move is for Joe Biden to be removed from the presidency in some fashion so Kamala can become Temporary president or whatever you call it.
00:20:04.000Not that I think it's a great probability.
00:20:05.000It sounds a little bit wild, but it makes a lot of sense that Joe Biden would resign from the presidency or be removed within the next couple of weeks.
00:21:07.000What I find really interesting, and I wish Tom Fitton would tell us, I think so highly of him, is why the immediacy, right?
00:21:14.000I mean, he could suddenly announce he's dropping out of the race and open the door for, you know, whatever they're going to do at the convention to get Kamala or whoever, you know, I've heard Josh Shapiro's name thrown on too, as the nominee.
00:21:25.000Why would he need to vacate the presidency right now?
00:21:27.000And to me, that signals that potentially this whole thing of like, no, he doesn't have a degenerative illness.
00:21:56.000To me, the immediacy of like, he is about to leave the presidency is actually, we're going to have to admit that something is terribly wrong.
00:22:02.000Remember the reporting around the debate where the press was upset, the White House press corps was upset they weren't allowed in the building because they were concerned a medical emergency may ensue and they wouldn't be there to cover it.
00:24:02.000Look, I am glad to see you all implode.
00:24:04.000And I think if the president, if Tom Fitton is correct, if he does resign next week, I think we need some very large impeachment hearings, because the Vice President must be sitting with him.
00:24:14.000What did the President know and when did you know it, Madam President?
00:24:16.000How long have you known that Joe Biden was incapacitated?
00:24:20.000And he's making decisions about Ukraine?
00:24:22.000He's making decisions about troop movements?
00:24:25.000This is months, years, the Chief of Staff?
00:24:28.000A lot of people have to be brought up on trial because, damn, if you can be brought up on trial for giving a speech at the Washington Monument on January 6th, then you sure as hell can be brought up on trial for covering up for an incapacitated president.
00:25:51.000It had Jill sitting in front of the Resolute desk and Joe was in the corner with like a little play school desk and it's like the White House installs new play school toddler desks so that Joe can feel important while at work.
00:26:53.000He was also articulate, and he could sit for an interview like that, and there's no way Biden could do this.
00:26:58.000I mean, I wonder what kind of conversation, what prep they're giving to George Stephanopoulos right now, or last week when they taped this interview or whatever.
00:27:05.000Like, it has to be during a certain time, and also you can't talk about certain things, and also don't speak too quickly, and if he gets lost, just play it off.
00:27:12.000Like, It seems like this is obvious that Biden needs so much care and structure around him that it's not the same kind of presidency as someone who is strong and willing to go through periods of intense stress like four years in the presidency.
00:27:28.000There's no doubt that it's hard to be the president of the United States.
00:27:30.000Like you're mentioning, you might get a call at 4am, you've got to go this place.
00:27:33.000But the fact that Joe Biden was like, I almost fell asleep on stage because I was traveling so much.
00:27:37.000Okay, but you've got four more years of this, my dude.
00:28:25.000They're looking at this hurricane coming in and going like, please distract everyone.
00:28:30.000And also, if you are George Stephanopoulos and his team, What is that saying about your credibility that they went to you, right?
00:28:37.000You have to resuscitate the Democrat president and we know you're going to be a team player.
00:28:41.000They didn't go to a serious interviewer.
00:28:43.000They went to the old faithful little old George and he will do his dutiful part and make the president look good and they'll edit in such a way because that's what George Stephanopoulos has always done.
00:28:53.000Obama went to him back in the day when he was losing in the debates against Mitt Romney.
00:28:59.000They always go to George when they need someone to bail them out because George is a Democrat operative.
00:29:59.000Like, when you listen to RFK Jr., and he talks about the sort of, I don't know, boilerplate politics stuff, you're kind of like, yeah, yeah, we get it.
00:30:06.000And then when he gets into environmental toxins, he's the whiz kid.
00:30:20.000Yeah, there's big industry, they're gonna be like, you will be very disruptive to the, I don't know, forced medications and things that we want to have the American people do.
00:32:01.000And so we're going to complain about a lot of the stuff, and we should.
00:32:04.000And we're going to like a lot of the stuff.
00:32:05.000And I think we'll get a generally slight net positive for the first time or second time in my life, because his first term was the first time.
00:32:11.000And then Democrats are going to scream and act like it's the apocalypse when it's not.
00:32:14.000And then I can see like a conciliatory media move with Trump, too, with like Anderson Cooper being like, you know, we talked a lot of crap about you, like having him on the show and be like, but you did do a lot of good.
00:35:35.000Maybe it's just anybody but Joe right now.
00:35:38.000But if you're the Gen Z Democrats right now, I don't know.
00:35:42.000I mean, they're not rational people, but how do you rationally vote for Kamala?
00:35:45.000She was right there, a part of it all.
00:35:47.000And the reason why Biden was brought on to the Obama administration, the Biden ticket back in 2008, was that there was a hesitancy of the party establishment that there are still a lot of old white guys who are Democrats who don't want to elect a black president.
00:36:03.000But they like Joe Biden and they know him.
00:36:06.000Maybe that will assuage any race concerns.
00:36:08.000Did they already elect a black president?
00:36:11.000This was to make Obama more palatable.
00:36:17.000They're going to have the same problem with Kamala Harris.
00:36:21.000They're going to say there's a lot of old white Democrats who don't want to elect a black woman who is obsessed talking about race and gender.
00:36:45.000That Yale study about how white people talk down to black people.
00:36:48.000There's going to be a lot of white older Democrats who are going to be like, well, I mean, I'm all for diversity, but... I'll make an excuse for it.
00:37:44.000They don't see the world the way you do.
00:37:46.000Republicans are looking at Michelle Obama as a charismatic celebrity personality who can win, but I assure you, a bunch of these young Berkeley Democrats are going to be like, oh, that's so nice, but she won't know where the DMV is.
00:39:09.000One of the issues is that if there's a power vacuum, yes, we on the outside all know Kamala Harris's name and she seems hypothetically like the heir apparent because she's vice president.
00:39:19.000But internally, you know, there has to be, like you're mentioning Pete Buttigieg or any other top ranking Democrat that's like, no, I should be president.
00:39:27.000You know, any governor that has, you know, enough delegates to really have influence at the DNC, which is not that far away, must be thinking to themselves, I have to say I'm with Biden.
00:39:37.000But if Biden's not there, I should get a shot at this.
00:39:42.000I work hard and I deserve this and etc, etc.
00:39:45.000I mean, why would they go along with some sort of vague overarching plan from the DNC, so to speak, when really this is an opportunity for anyone to step in and say, I'm the leadership now?
00:39:57.000The superdelegates, because they have no chance in getting the nominee unless they're selected.
00:40:22.000I mean, that's the thing about having an open DNC right now, which is like, you get to see, you get to really expose the influence that the DNC have over its members.
00:40:34.000And I actually think it's not as strict and structured as we think it is.
00:40:37.000I think that there would be a lot more infighting.
00:40:40.000And in some ways, I think it would be a more interesting convention probably than even the RNC.
00:40:44.000Because you would get to see all of these people vie for as much influence as they can rally in basically, what, six weeks?
00:40:50.000It's just funny that the number one criteria in selecting your vice president is that this person should be able to fill in for me in case I can no longer do the job.
00:41:00.000The one criteria Kamala Harris has to meet She has not met, right?
00:41:06.000They selected her because of myriad reasons, but they did not select her because she could step in as president.
00:41:11.000That's the problem they're having now.
00:41:12.000And how many news stories have there been about the enormous resignations at her staff?
00:41:37.000So I just think it's funny in this world of diversity and equity and inclusion and all of that, the only criteria that matter for VP is the one that she does not meet.
00:41:45.000She checks all the other boxes, right?
00:41:47.000But she is not capable of doing the job.
00:41:50.000Proof of that is the fact that they want to get rid of Biden and they don't know who to give the job to.
00:43:59.000Like, not only do we have to respond to topical news things, but we also have to avoid getting hit by flies and or an electrified fly swatter.
00:45:18.000I would do the big White House event tomorrow that they always have, the barbecue that is for friends and family and senators and their family.
00:47:14.000He's going to have a barbecue with active duty military service members and their families and then, you know, do whatever on the 4th of July.
00:47:20.000And then he's going to Wilmington, Delaware this weekend.
00:47:23.000Which he spends most weekends in Delaware.
00:47:25.000But it is interesting because I feel like going back to his home, it's going to be this moment where either his family is like, you got to keep going, or if Tom Fitton is right and there is some sort of conversation, maybe it will happen there that he is like, we got to stop.
00:47:40.000And the joys of going to your own home is that you don't have to keep visitors logs.
00:47:43.000So who he meets within the calls he has don't have to be logged.
00:47:47.000The bigger problem that if I am Biden's team right now, is that he's supposed to go to NATO next week.
00:47:59.000It's back in Europe and I don't know if it's at the headquarters, but he's got to be back on stage with these world leaders and they are watching the news.
00:48:12.000Yeah, July 9th to 11th, so that's good.
00:48:14.000So at least he can sleep in his own bed.
00:48:17.000But still, he's got to be on stage with world leaders who are asking serious questions and having deep conversations, and he's got to try to stay awake.
00:48:23.000Let's pull this clip talking about serious conversations.
00:49:16.000I mean, I feel like that's a lot of this right now.
00:49:18.000Because even these mainstream outlets, like we're seeing a lot of reports from the New York Times that are saying like, you know, these conversations going on with Biden and whatever.
00:49:25.000It will look really, really, really bad for any mainstream media outlet that wants to pretend like they have any semblance of credibility if they continue to be like, and everything is fine.
00:49:35.000They have no semblance of credibility, though.
00:49:54.000From Carl Bernstein fame, saying that, you know, I've known at least 15 or 20 episodes of The President.
00:50:01.000Well, how come there was no deep throat on that, Carl?
00:50:03.000How come there was no racing to full-page articles of The Washington Post on that, Carl?
00:50:08.000Because they all felt the need to protect The President.
00:50:10.000So they protect Fauci, they protect...
00:50:13.000Media has the lowest favorability rating they've had in history, and at this point the media should just be unplugged.
00:50:20.000They are genuinely the enemy of the American people.
00:50:22.000CNN, though, I've got a little bit of hope at CNN right now.
00:50:26.000The way they handled the debate was pretty unbiased, and the way they're letting Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper speak the truth about what they're perceiving with Biden is kind of impressive, and if they can keep this up, I would be very, very happy.
00:50:38.000Do you think that that's them being Unbiased, or do you think it's them realizing that they cannot continue to lie for this administration?
00:50:49.000We all want to have a redemption arc for all kinds of institutions in America.
00:50:52.000We'd love for us to be a society that lives peacefully and trusts that we're all working together for harmony.
00:50:57.000But ultimately, I think if the news media is turning on Biden, the Biden administration, it's because they do not believe that they can continue lying for them.
00:51:08.000Maybe they I think that they are on a crusade to improve their credibility because CNN's flattering and tanking and I was a Zucker Jeff Zucker.
00:51:47.000To your point, if this is the third time the media's been on trial, I feel like the first two, like with Russiagate and everything like that, that was actually conservative starting to be like, oh, things are going on.
00:51:55.000This seems to be the first one that Democrats and independents are like, Oh, wait.
00:52:00.000You told us everything was fine, and it seems as though it is not fine.
00:52:04.000We don't know if we believe you anymore.
00:53:40.000We are not a federal government of Washington, D.C., of America.
00:53:44.000And so the only reason, the only way I think of ending this for good, and you mentioned Vivek before, and I hope He is actually chief of staff would be my ideal position for him because it is really an administrative one and it's a visionary one.
00:53:59.000And great chiefs of staff have done very impactful things for good or for ill.
00:54:06.000But he's the one who talks the most about this is the dismantling of this.
00:54:09.000The reason why every election is the most important election of our time is because we have Six, seven trillion dollars in spending that is all going to crap projects.
00:54:19.000That's all going to bribe governors right now.
00:54:21.000What do you think they talked about with the Democrat governors?
00:54:40.000Your governor should be the most powerful person if you want to look at it in that sense because you have a lot more say in who your governor is than you do and who the president does and your mayor should be the second most important one and that's where all the power should should be concentrated because it's your community and your people and people who are your neighbors instead everything is concentrated and you can't even choose a damn It's textbook without Washington, D.C.
00:56:55.000If Trump comes in and gives us marginal victories, then we're on the path towards restoration in that regard.
00:57:01.000But I don't see that thing coming back anytime soon.
00:57:03.000No, and that's a great example of just the crumbling overall nature of the country.
00:57:09.000And it's all because everything is concentrated in this one city, and we have to get 55 senators to vote on a bridge in Maryland?
00:57:17.000Holy crap, what the hell do I, if I'm the senator of, maybe if I'm Virginia, right, or maybe if I'm a local state, but if I'm the senator of Wyoming, and you're like, wait, I have to go to the floor to vote on funding for a bridge in Maryland?
00:58:13.000I mean, in part, it's because federal money runs throughout so much, right?
00:58:17.000Anything that accepts federal money is beholden to Washington, D.C., and unfortunately a ton of our institutions ultimately accept federal money.
00:58:25.000I don't think people realize how far-reaching that is and that's almost to the detriment of the American people because the federal government doesn't give money without strings and we're ultimately all giving up some kind of autonomy when you accept that the federal government is going to come in and tell you what to do.
00:58:42.000But I think you're right, especially with the trans sports issue, you know, there was a huge movement with the Safe Women's Sports Act, you know, rolled out slightly differently, but independently states were saying, this is how we want to handle that.
00:58:53.000And I think that is much more in line with what the Founding Fathers wanted for our country.
00:58:57.000I think that is not what especially the modern day DNC wants for the American people.
00:59:02.000They want to be able to say, you go to this one place, we decide, and everyone has to fall in line and that's it.
00:59:09.000To that end, I think the American people are sort of disillusioned with that, right?
00:59:14.000I don't think they look at the federal government as serving their needs.
00:59:17.000It's like, how do I avoid being in the crosshairs of what the government is trying to force us to do?
00:59:23.000How do I stay away from it as much as possible?
00:59:26.000We got the Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, filing a lawsuit against New York for hijacking the presidential election by illegally scheming to jail their presidential opponent, President Trump.
00:59:38.000New York is waging a war on American democracy, and Missouri will not let it stand.
00:59:45.000New York's illicit prosecution, gag order, and sentencing of President Trump has undermined his ability to campaign.
00:59:51.000This overt meddling in a presidential election sabotages Missourians' ability to cast a well-informed vote mere months before the election.
00:59:58.000I am asking the Supreme Court to declare that New York's actions unlawfully interfere with the presidential election, to remove any gag orders against President Trump, and to halt the impeding sentencing until after the presidential election.
01:00:41.000Finally, we need more pushback like this, and hopefully more attorneys general sign on board.
01:00:48.000I'd be curious to see which ones do, because this is essential, right?
01:00:53.000This is New York interfering with the federal election.
01:00:56.000They say, uh, the lawsuit comes just one month after New York obtained an illicit conviction against President Trump and alleges three specific violations.
01:01:01.000Count one, interference with the presidential election in other states.
01:01:04.000Count two, violation of Purcell, a federal case prohibiting courts from sowing voter confusion or changing election rules in the months leading up to an election.
01:01:13.000And count three, violation of the First Amendment rights of voters in other states.
01:01:29.000Yeah, I really do think New York or I don't want to blame all of New York, but I do want
01:01:34.000to say I do think the attorney general's office and and definitely the Manhattan attorney
01:01:40.000office thinks they are in charge of the country right now.
01:01:43.000I mean even the language – do you remember when we had all of these secretaries of states?
01:01:48.000Maine's in particular stood out to me when they were saying like, we're not going to let Trump on the ballot.
01:01:52.000We had all of those lawsuits over that and they were like, for the good of the nation, I am making this decision.
01:01:58.000I think it is such a strange time where these states have decided they are going to be the parents and they have the right to dominate this conversation and restrict the rights of other voters.
01:02:41.000You got it, congrats, but now you're also eating the consequence of your pernicious actions.
01:02:47.000And all of the country is suffering as a result.
01:02:51.000That's why, you know, we're going back to the whole, if Biden resigns and Kamala steps in, I think that's opening a larger can of worms that they are not ready to deal with.
01:03:02.000Do you think other states will sign on? I mean, and which ones? I guess the question.
01:03:26.000It's challenging because it's coming out right before a holiday, so I think probably there are a lot of attorney general's offices that are not staffed right now.
01:03:32.000I mean, I wonder how many people they're having to call in to say, we want to sign on to this lawsuit or whatever else.
01:03:37.000I worry that because of the timing of this—and again, I think it was a good thing to do either way.
01:03:41.000You can't control the timing all the time, but we might lose momentum on this going into a holiday weekend.
01:03:49.000Real quick, we do have a chat from Scott Good who makes a good point.
01:04:44.000I mean the other part is I think they do, I don't know, but theoretically they could be working, like they still read their cases, they still, you know, consider stuff even if they're not literally in D.C.
01:04:52.000Yeah, and they still work during the summer because every justice is in charge of a jurisdiction so things still have to come before them that they are allowed to decide.
01:05:01.000It just means that they are literally in court.
01:05:02.000But they're not in session in the sense that, like, these are the cases we're going to hear this session.
01:05:09.000I think the AG, and again, I'm not an attorney, so I could be mistaken, I think he deliberately waited for their DACA to be cleared, which was July 1st, to file this, because now there is nothing before the court, so now here's the first thing that's brought forth.
01:05:20.000And they could respond to it if they choose to.
01:05:23.000But they're, I mean, they already have some cases sort of ready to go on to the, like, we kind of know what's coming next time, right?
01:05:32.000I mean, they don't have... But they could answer this if they want to.
01:05:34.000Are they allowed to, like, before October?
01:05:36.000Can they be like, all right, well, let's just do this now because it's more important than... I would say I am fairly certain the answer is yes, but...
01:05:46.000It would be great to get like a former clerk in here who can give that answer.
01:05:49.000And I know a bunch if you want one, but I'm sure however this works, the clerks now all talk to each other and say, all right, let Justice X know.
01:05:57.000And then they have a conference call or so.
01:06:00.000I don't know how they actually work the inner processes, but Supreme Court clerks are pretty close.
01:06:06.000They hold their cards close to the vest, but it would be great to have a conversation with one of them and see how the actual court does operate like this.
01:06:12.000How about, Bailey, just, you know, bring criminal charges against Joe Biden or something?
01:06:22.000And I think this is one of the more disheartening things.
01:06:25.000And I'm not trying to be negative right before Independence Day.
01:06:28.000One of the challenges is, you know, the district in which you file or if you were to have to go to the appeals court or Supreme Court or whatever, there is bias on every level.
01:06:38.000And I don't think that we can assume in this day and age that judges are acting without some kind of political motivation.
01:06:47.000That's supposed to be sort of a sacred office and you go in really there to represent the law.
01:06:51.000And I think now a lot of people are prepared to believe that judges operate with their own personal beliefs, sort of front and center, maybe not in a way that they were originally intended to.
01:07:03.000Well, there was that article, that letter that surfaced of Larry Summer, who was the Harvard president, and he was Obama's something secretary as well.
01:07:14.000But when Obama was considering pointing Sonia Sotomayor, he wrote a letter saying that, I would caution you against this, knowing her, not only is she not as smart as she claims to be, Um, but she is hyper partisan and she gets very, very bitter.
01:07:30.000Um, and, and, and a little bit, I don't think she used the word vindictive, but he was warning, like, I wouldn't put this person on the court.
01:07:38.000I mean, everyone has their certain biases, uh, biases, but even Larry summer back in the day was warning Obama and we were a more tolerant and happy nation going back 15 years to 12 years, however long it's been.
01:07:51.000Um, but even he was warning like, you Yeah, this is not the best person for the courts.
01:07:57.000So, yeah, the courts are becoming as partisan as everything else is, unfortunately.
01:08:43.000Like the bridge should be able to rebuild.
01:08:44.000All of these things are spinning out of control because the system is just too damn big for any one person, let alone someone who's half with us like Joe Bio, 10% with us like Joe Biden.
01:08:54.000No one person can manage this system the way, in addition to the military and the pharmaceutical pressures, and it is way too big because it's not supposed to be this way.
01:09:05.000It's not supposed to be one big thing in DC.
01:09:08.000I wish I could start a party called like the Federalism Party, but I don't know what the hell to call it.
01:09:13.000But like the Tenth Amendment party to go back to states and the rights of states.
01:09:19.000I know now someone's going to say like, oh, so you think the Civil War was constitutional?
01:09:22.000I'm not declaring independence or any state or separation, but there is a need for states to reclaim their power and take it away from Washington, D.C., which is trampling on people's rights.
01:09:34.000And I think there is actually a renaissance of interest in individual states in America.
01:09:40.000And sometimes I wonder if it was COVID, because people couldn't travel internationally.
01:09:44.000So the road trip kind of became a thing again, and people are going from state to state or observing sort of the way different states, you know.
01:09:52.000Whether it be they were going between states for personal reasons because they were moving and relocating or just to travel and kind of get outside the house, if it made people appreciate that we actually have a system that allows for effectively kind of small countries to operate near each other and have fluid relationships in a way that, you know, Being completely governed from Washington, DC doesn't allow.
01:10:15.000I mean, I even see this in sort of appreciation for regional events or regional music or regional slang.
01:10:22.000If we could appreciate the states individually as opposed to being like, We're all just going to listen to DC and kind of become one semi or pseudo homogenous operation.
01:10:48.000Because think also about the impact on not only the local economy, Not only on an investment in the entrepreneurs and innovators from and in the community, think about the impact on something like public health.
01:11:04.000When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population,
01:11:09.000more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
01:12:47.000Do you remember back in 2019 again during the debate when it was Julian Castro who talked about abortion for transgender men?
01:12:54.000And it was like, that's how far we've come is that we are now, we have a presidential candidate who wants to protect the rights of transgender men to get abortions.
01:13:52.000You have a game show with three doors, and behind one of the doors, it's pitch black, and when you step forward, you just fall right into that meat grinder Ian mentioned.
01:14:05.000No, in all seriousness, they're talking about discouraging people from having kids, they're talking about abortion, they're talking about Finding ways so people do not have kids.
01:14:15.000I do not believe, because a lot of people think there's a grand conspiracy to literally cull the human population.
01:14:21.000When Bill Gates comes out and talks about stuff, he's telling you exactly what he thinks.
01:16:39.000It's a French word for... The thing about daikon, I started reading about it, I didn't even know what it was, but I... It's one of the best French words.
01:16:45.000You plant daikon... I actually have pamplemousse right here.
01:16:47.000You plant daikon and then you don't harvest it, and it dies and then fertilizes and breaks up the soil on its own.
01:16:53.000So that's what I'm thinking we plant on Mars.
01:17:10.000Have you heard about this thing going on in West Virginia?
01:17:13.000I think it's Appalachian Botanical Company is doing it.
01:17:19.000planting lavender fields on old coal mines to help fix the soil because you know a lot of times there's sort of a base level of like how it's supposed to be left but there are issues there and so they're using it to produce plants but then they turn into products and sell to people.
01:17:41.000No way this is the best segment on Planet Earth.
01:17:43.000Well, I find it really interesting because it's about, like, hey, how we as a community can go back to sort of turning the land into something.
01:17:49.000I mean, I think, you know, the purpose of people being on Earth is to use, create, renew, and kind of keep cycles going.
01:17:56.000So if they're able to make a small business out of this, that's fascinating.
01:18:30.000And it's sort of this, this business that I think is kind of unique to West Virginia.
01:18:33.000I mean, I wonder what kinds of possibilities there are if we were to look at these things
01:18:38.000as cycles and not just like, oh, you had a coal mine there.
01:18:42.000And so now we hate it, hate the state.
01:18:44.000I mean, that's why I feel like the Biden administration treats coal dependent places like they are sort of done and gone from the past.
01:18:51.000I'm wondering if the added, like, biomatter would cause these mines to collapse.
01:18:56.000You know, because that's a real risk, and especially around here on the eastern seaboard is old coal towns where you build a neighborhood on top and then sinkhole.
01:19:04.000A lot of them are closed formally in some way because of that kind of concern.
01:19:07.000Do you, with Power for the Future, your company, do you guys get into the mining industry at all?
01:19:11.000I've been to a ton of coal mines and reclaimed mines, and I've walked on reclaimed mine sites that you would have no idea that X number of years ago this was, whether it's an open pit mine or more like you have in West Virginia where you are actually 3,000, 2,000 feet underground.
01:19:29.000But yeah, I've seen mine sites that were reclaimed, and this is part of the responsibility of the mine, is to reclaim the land, and you have no idea that that used to be a mine.
01:19:39.000And they do a brilliant job at it, but they never get any credit for it, because it's just more fun to demonize and blast.
01:19:45.000I wouldn't be surprised if when you do reclaim a mine, if the soil is maybe not conducive to growing corn.
01:19:52.000They said it's like the chemistry of it, like you need to kind of fix the soil until the lavender is able to take out whatever heavy metal or whatever the issue is.
01:19:58.000You know, but again, you said something just earlier that I want to latch on to, when we were joking about the rocket ships and all that, and Hannah Clare, you said something like, they never have any hope, right?
01:20:08.000And I think that's what we're missing so much from our conversations.
01:20:10.000It's Kamala Harris talking about, you know, we have to reduce population.
01:20:15.000There's never talk about aspirations to go to Mars, or how do we take this soil and do something with it, or how do we turn daikon into...
01:20:24.000We've lost the idea to dream about anything positive.
01:20:52.000I think there's a saying about how we still don't know what's in our oceans, like the
01:20:55.000amount of unexplored territory that's beneath water.
01:20:59.000That's why Atlantis is such a popular talking point because people don't know.
01:21:02.000But I think part of this is the obsession with self and forcing everyone to think about
01:21:06.000themselves constantly all the time is part of the intentional destruction of society,
01:21:11.000Like if you're – like you're saying, if you hear everything is awful and this is the end of times and democracy and whatever else, you're fearful, right?
01:21:17.000you're scared and you're kind of looking for immediate relief.
01:21:21.000And so anyone's able to kind of offer you pseudo solutions and might be able to temporarily
01:21:26.000get you to vote for them until they can create another crisis that gets you scared again.
01:21:55.000You have to be fearful and they're coming for your rights.
01:21:57.000And it's much more fear and individual focus.
01:22:01.000And when we talk about these things, like being able to say, well, why don't we build a rocket or why don't we You know, figure out what does reclaiming a coal mine look like and what are our possibilities and what cool thing can we do with this?
01:22:14.000That kind of hopefulness is someone who is solution-oriented and believes that the world they're in is worth pursuing and investing in.
01:22:21.000And I think so much of what culture has fed people right now is to say, like, just focus on yourself and what you can get out of this and how it benefits you and what your issues are and don't think beyond that.
01:22:32.000And that's a very oppressive mindset to have because it doesn't allow for any
01:22:56.000Well, because I know for a fact, but I mean, Joe Biden, when he was in his lucid days,
01:23:05.000told a crowd of young black kids, Mitt Romney is going to put you all back in chains, right?
01:23:12.000Everything was, you're going to die, people are out to get you.
01:23:15.000His Pride talk, or really Jill gave it, you know, like, they're coming after you and they're going after your rights, but we're going to fight.
01:23:23.000Everything is, the whole world is out to get you.
01:23:25.000And everyone is, everything is negative.
01:24:11.000I was going to say, they're triaging while also cutting you somewhere else so you continue to bleed.
01:24:15.000Because if you don't need to heal, if you don't need triage, but someone that's all they know how to do, they're going to end up injuring you in order to triage you.
01:24:22.000It's a perpetuating cycle of obsessive Do you know stories about, like, firefighters who become obsessed with, like, then they kind of get into pyromania?
01:24:31.000Like, they start lighting fires for the glory of being like, I have saved everyone!
01:24:34.000That's the Democratic Party right now.
01:24:36.000My dad one time said... I don't know if it's, like, a huge thing, but it's a story I've heard before that there's occasionally people who will, like, create a crisis so they can come in and be the hero and save it.
01:24:44.000And that's the DNC completely all the time.
01:25:14.000And so you're sort of recognizing that it's a real threat.
01:25:16.000There's sort of a weird kind of respect there.
01:25:18.000But, you know, I don't think Democrats respect their voters when they try to intentionally keep them scared and compliant.
01:25:26.000I don't think that that's the attitude you want and I think as a culture, it's extremely toxic.
01:25:30.000It is cancerous to the moral spirit of the country.
01:25:34.000If you feel like every day you are not valued and everything is about to fall apart and anything you love could be taken from you, then why pursue anything great?
01:28:01.000And they'll like speed it up and then they'll go in with like cut the things.
01:28:03.000I mean, talk about making things better, solving problems and making money doing it.
01:28:07.000That's my favorite thing when you walk around and there are a lot of towns in this area that are like this where you know they were maybe prosperous back in the day, falling on hard times but people are coming in and starting to like fix up older homes and you see them like planting flowers and like I feel like there's one neighborhood I walk in where every time I walk through it I feel like I can see just a little bit of change like someone is just taking pride of the house that they just bought and they're They're pouring into it.
01:29:39.000I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie's hitting his end of the rope as well.
01:29:43.000I mean, these are a lot of old folks and Biden has introduced a whole new, I mean, obviously the president is term limited, but age limits, cognitive tests for elected officials.
01:29:54.000I mean, we've talked a lot about term limits and the House and the Senate.
01:29:57.000I would go back to the Dianne Feinstein example.
01:30:00.000She was lucid enough to know, oh, I'm the senator.
01:30:02.000I don't know what we're voting on, but I'm not stepping aside.
01:30:05.000Even when she made her announcement that she was going to retire, do you remember this story?
01:30:09.000They made the announcement official from her office, the press release went out, and then a reporter asked about it and she was like, I'm not retiring.
01:32:01.000So the thing is, like, if you get Tom Hiddleston to put on this, you can Google search the videos of him testing, doing the test screenings or whatever, and it's like, yeah, no, it doesn't work.
01:32:11.000When AOC goes up on stage and she- another one.
01:32:13.000When she plays this, it's like, it don't work.
01:32:31.000As someone who is from Queens, that struck me as a rich girl from Westchester playing the part of what a Queens Puerto Rican should behave like.
01:32:42.000She's not from the area she represents.
01:32:44.000She's maybe lived there for a little while.
01:32:47.000But I mean, if I decided to run for office from my district in rural Virginia, and suddenly I showed up with like a bolo tie, and I had a lasso around my belt, people would be like, calm down.
01:33:55.000Probably the same reason why they picked Biden in 2019.
01:33:57.000I mean, that was the thing of all three of their leadership, that they had sort of been waiting in their wings, and the older crowd was prepared to make an exit.
01:34:04.000They're like, might as well go now, and you know, you're fine.
01:34:10.000To answer your question, it looks like he'll be 54 this year, so he is relatively young, but again, I think there is...
01:34:18.000I think there is a battle for the soul of the Democrat identity in America and what its positions are going to be going forward.
01:34:25.000And, you know, you did see this with the Republican Party to a certain extent under Donald Trump.
01:34:28.000I mean, the division between the America first versus like old guard Republican is Real, and I think it has sort of in some ways shaken out.
01:34:37.000It's not at its peak sort of infighting level as it might have been in the past.
01:34:42.000But the Democrats are the party of compliance and they don't think they expected to face the ideological questions that they've had to over the last couple years, especially if we see an increase in an interest in populism and a return to more federalist division of powers where we want the states to have more say than the federal government.
01:34:59.000I don't think the Democratic Party is prepared to handle it, and so I don't think they have a person ready to jump to the helm because they don't know where they want their ship to go.
01:35:09.000No, and in 2019, again, I'm going to always go back to this because that's when Biden emerged, right?
01:35:13.000He came out of retirement to defeat Trump.
01:35:15.000Pre-COVID, Trump was soaring in popularity.

01:37:18.000Like, what is it about giant explosions in the sky that are like... You don't like fireworks and you don't like rock concerts.
01:37:25.000Well, I like listening to the music, but I don't like screaming and like, I like fireworks because first you can light them and they do different things.
01:37:41.000You can get the little UFOs where it's like a little disc and it's got two facing different directions and when you light it It shoots rockets and then spins them.
01:37:51.000They rise in the air, which is wheels.
01:38:11.000Now, why do I like watching big fireworks displays?
01:38:14.000Because they do cool things where a single mortar goes up, and you see an explosion of all of these different colors, and then all of a sudden, the mortars you couldn't see pop, and it makes a picture in the sky!
01:38:27.000They have this big thing that launches all with perfect timing, so that You're looking in the sky, and you'll see all of this red, white, and blue, and then all of a sudden, which you don't see because they're too small, all the other mortars go boom, and then all of a sudden there's stars next to it.
01:40:10.000John Adams, it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shoes, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.
01:40:22.000So fireworks the ultimate illumination.
01:40:24.000We need more leaders that write things like that.
01:40:28.000Well the thing is, he didn't write down everything.
01:40:31.000And so I'm sure at some point in his life he had some crude joke.
01:40:49.000Now we're in the era where everything you do is written down or spoken or recorded.
01:40:52.000So, you know, we have these great quotes where it's like, the fathers of this nation have henceforth birthed the greatest creation.
01:40:59.000And you're like, wow, so honor and honorable and noble.
01:41:02.000And then you have like Ian Crossland on Twitter being like, you know, sometimes my cat farts and it scares himself.
01:41:07.000Yeah, I'll talk about poop online a lot.
01:41:09.000And then it's just like... See, I'm sure Ben Franklin was talking to his buddy at one point in his life, because the dude lived to be like 80-something, and he was like, my dog once farted and scared himself.
01:41:35.000Vasya Bryansk says, just wanted to say hi and thank y'all for helping me, helping keep me motivated to get my CDLA permit the other day, along with the quartering and Mike Rowe.
01:46:03.000There is a viral video coming out from a guy who ended up winning against two guys who had Ace-King but he had Jack-5.
01:46:09.000However, that being said, Jack-5 could be the appropriate play, assuming that these two guys are both playing Ace-King, they're blocking each other, they're not going to make a pair and you're going to win.
01:46:17.000He hit the 5 on the river, he ended up winning, and then some guy got accused of cheating for pulling his chips back because the tournament's poorly managed.
01:46:25.000I just realized I won that tournament with a J6.
01:47:26.000Oh yeah, so one idea someone had this morning for a Magic Gathering tournament was, before the tournament starts, you've got to do pull-ups, and the amount of pull-ups you do is how much your HP is in the game.
01:49:16.000It is a limiting factor for their business.
01:49:19.000It is hard to get people interested in this game because of things like that.
01:49:24.000And the truth is, you need to be sharp.
01:49:26.000You need to have a really good memory and be good at math to win those games.
01:49:31.000Allison and I were playing Commander over at Mamba Collectibles in Martinsburg, shout out.
01:49:36.000And it's, so there's four players, and the two guys, we know the guy who works there, he's playing with us, he brought his friend, came to sit down, we're playing four player, and Allison says something like, you know, it's the end of my turn, and she's like, I think I have something I can play, search my library, and we all go, Mystical Tutor.
01:49:53.000We all instantly knew exactly what card she was looking at, just because we know all the cards.
01:49:58.000and like we the amount of land she had available she said i think i can play a thing and we're like
01:50:01.000mythical deer like we we know what you're doing we know what card you're looking at there's no
01:50:05.000other card you would consider playing right now i just think that's absolutely hilarious that like
01:50:09.000we'll be sitting at a game and you know she she's only played maybe like 16 17 games so far in her
01:50:14.000life she's actually pretty good at it and she'll say something like i don't know if this guy makes
01:50:19.000sense level oh lighthouse chronologist He instantly could just name the card.
01:50:24.000But if this culture focused on... if Hasbro, and they have a hard time... Magic the Gathering, the first trading card game ever made.
01:50:35.000And now you've got Pokemon, you've got Yu-Gi-Oh!, you've got Lorkana, you've got all these other games, and they're massively popular, they're billion-dollar industries.
01:50:44.000Creating something that would inspire younger people, they would sell like hotcakes.
01:50:51.000So now what Hasbro's telling investors is they have to focus on what's called universes beyond, where they've made Fallout, Warhammer, they're making Assassin's Creed.
01:50:59.000They're like, we have this great game format of Magic the Gathering, but the IP is boring.
01:51:34.000Now what they're doing is they're going, okay, how about Fallout instead?
01:51:36.000Oh yeah, because Fallout is a separate IP, a separate video game, people will like it, and you're going to buy the cards because you like Fallout.
01:51:42.000They need to foster their community better.
01:52:19.000There's a big debate right now over what people call brain sports, eSports, chess, card games, and why women aren't in the top ranks of these.
01:52:29.000If the argument is that men have a biological advantage with muscle mass and bone density, where are the top female chess players and poker players?
01:52:37.000And so another component of this is, of course, When you look at a lot of these esports, average guys, skinny guys, and I'll tell you this, South Park made that joke where they played World of Warcraft and all got morbidly obese.
01:52:54.000And if they spent five minutes looking into it, they would have actually got it right.
01:52:59.000And that is, several people died playing MMORPGs because they were wasting away.
01:53:06.000They play this game to the point of addiction and they don't eat or drink.
01:53:10.000And so it's actually, like, it's a negative when you, when we used to play World of Warcraft, and it's like, hey, we're going to go raid, like, Ankaraj or something.
01:53:42.000Like crazy, earlier today, it's like chess.
01:53:44.000But it's like, you're challenging yourself, and then you go PvP and see who did better.
01:53:48.000Yeah, we weren't, like my brother too, we both weren't eating.
01:53:51.000We would eat like a half a meal a day, and then just sit there on the computer, talking with people, we'd be in TeamSpeak, we'd be hanging out, and we'd just be like, I don't got time to go eat.
01:54:00.000I want to give a special shout out to Fan Hotz, who's one of my favorite esports players at the moment.
01:54:38.000And to understand magic, it's chess and poker combined.
01:54:42.000So you're not just dealing with a single chess board where you're planning in advance.
01:54:46.000All of these pro magic players, they do the same thing chess players do.
01:54:50.000They have pro teams, they have managers, and they try to solve decks, and they'll say to the guy who's competing, they'll say, okay, you're going to be going up against in this tournament, the top three decks are these decks, right now everyone's playing this one, you're going to need this in your sideboard, you're going to need this, and they actually playtest out these decks against a bunch of other decks, and try and consider what their opponent has at the time.
01:58:13.000When the cicadas were here a couple years ago, we were always running around and now it's bang!
01:58:20.000Because we were feeding them to the chickens.
01:58:21.000So we'd knock them out of the sky, they'd fall.
01:58:23.000We'd walk up to the trees with gloves on and just shovel them into a jar and we'd have like 60, 70 of them, and we just chuck them into the chickens and they just annihilate them.
01:58:33.000The funny thing is, the original chickens of Chicken City are like, they're sitting there telling all the young ones, like, you would not believe what it was like when we were young.
01:58:42.000Giant bugs as big as your head, and they're like, sure, Dad.

02:00:34.000And then we've got this massive mini ramp.
02:00:36.000That is 50 feet long, four foot, three foot, two foot.
02:00:39.000Two foot's a kind of a joke ramp, but it's our curb for, you know, you want to try and do like a 360-foot blunt, but we got a lot of really cool stuff in the works.
02:00:45.000We are off tomorrow for MAGA Day, Independence Day on MAGA Month, and we hope you guys all have a very, very good time and celebrate, and then we'll be back Monday.
