Join hosts Ian and Luke and guest Bethany Mendel ( ) as they discuss all the crazy political news that s been hitting the news this week, including CNN's collapse, the drag queen kids show being canceled, Steve Bannon's subpoena of Nancy Pelosi, and more.
00:00:53.000CNN data reporter crunched the numbers and it turns out Republicans have not pulled this well before midterm in 80
00:01:14.000years In all of these years where Democrats actually were defeated, they were polling up.
00:01:21.000So it's going to be particularly brutal.
00:01:23.000The good news is, well, there's no good news, but Joe Biden's trying to make it seem like there's good news, saying we're in a robust recovery, and that everything's fine, everybody, but it's weird that the messaging is everything's fine when people are looking at gasoline nearing $5 a gallon.
00:01:38.000The latest AAA average for the country is $4.
00:01:45.000In California, Mendocino I think is the name of the city, $9.60 a gallon, the highest in the country, and 13 states have gas already over $5.
00:01:56.000People have been telling us in Illinois it's $5, so yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the economy, stupid.
00:02:01.000But of course, we can also talk about what's going on with these drag queen kids shows, because Texas and Florida have two reps that are seeking to make it a felony, to make it illegal to bring kids to these things.
00:02:46.000So I am a homeschooling mom of five and the editor of a series of children's books called Heroes of Liberty, which is sort of a take on children's literature that doesn't have drag queens and there's no transgender characters instead we're just sort of like looking at characters from like recent past and not so recent past so Alexander Hamilton, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne
00:03:11.000And just sort of, you know, telling our children about all of these people and founding principles and ideas in a way that is engaging and wonderful illustrations.
00:03:22.000And yeah, and I'm also a contributing writer for Deseret News.
00:03:29.000We gotta talk about these, what's going on with this Libs of TikTok stuff, because apparently now these drag kid events are getting canceled.

00:07:46.000Since 1938, the Republican two-point lead on the generic congressional ballot is the best position for Republicans at this point in any midterm cycle in over 80 years.
00:07:57.000It beats 2010, when Republicans were up a point.
00:07:59.000It beats 2014, 2002, 1998, where Democrats led by a point.
00:08:03.000And in all of those four prior examples that make this list of the top five, look at that.
00:08:09.000It was the Republicans who won a majority.
00:08:12.000He added, Now of course the election is not being held tomorrow, and we'll see.
00:08:16.000Sometimes history isn't always prologue, but my estimate for the 2023 House make-up, if the election were held today, which again it isn't, we're still five months, five months from tomorrow, would be Republicans 236 seats to 241 seats, Democrats 194 to 199.
00:08:32.000That's based off of a formula of seat-to-seat race ratings from the Cook Political Report and Inside Elections.
00:09:30.000I mean, I think it's very fair to say that there definitely is a political transformation.
00:09:34.000I question a lot of the polls that are out there, but I think this political transformation that's happening is a precursor to the economic transformation that we're seeing.
00:09:43.000Under the Biden administration and under the previous administration that essentially is creating one of the largest transfers of wealth from the poorest people to the richest people.
00:09:52.000We saw this from the beginning of COVID.
00:09:54.000We saw this with the secret Federal Reserve bailouts.
00:09:58.000The effects of this are being felt everywhere.
00:10:01.000I forgot which corporate media network was interviewing a random person at the gas pump just a couple hours ago.
00:10:06.000The video is going viral on Twitter, because the person being interviewed is like, this is absolutely insane.
00:10:11.000This is going to motivate me to get politically involved, and I'm going to be voting for the Republicans.
00:10:16.000And this was a person who was previously a Democrat before, who publicly is stating this.
00:10:20.000So obviously, this larger political transformation has a lot to do with our current financial situation, which is absolutely ruined and left a lot of people in havoc.
00:10:31.000It strikes me as like political football.
00:10:33.000The pendulum is swinging in both directions.
00:10:34.000CNN's happy because they're either going to trash Trump or trash Trump.
00:10:39.000But it's an economic crisis, and it's a transformation economically, either into some world economic forum, you'll own nothing and be happy renters world, or something that we control into some sort of maybe, you know, Democratically, cryptography, cryptographic, you know, decentralized, something new that hasn't been created yet.
00:10:55.000Who knew stealing people's ability to have upward economic mobility was unpopular?
00:11:00.000Who knew giving corporate bailouts was unpopular?
00:11:03.000Who knew raising gas prices, stopping domestic energy production was unpopular?
00:11:19.000No, I mean, but it's so frustrating because this is such a moment and I don't feel like Republicans are really... I mean, they're talking about sort of opening domestic energy production.
00:11:31.000I don't feel like anyone in power sort of understands what is actually happening with American families.
00:11:36.000I am in a Facebook group for large families, and it's a really fascinating window into a lot of different sort of ways of life.
00:11:44.000And the number of posts that people are making, like, how can I stretch rice and beans?
00:11:50.000How can I be creative cooking for 10 people?
00:11:55.000I'll tell you, different types of vinegar.
00:11:57.000Different types of vinegar and different types of oils give you all these different combinations of flavor.
00:12:01.000Ian, we were ordering supplies and Ian was like, just buy a bunch of vinegar and we got like 20 gallons.
00:12:05.000Your white wine vinegar, your red wine vinegar, your tarragon vinegar, your malt vinegar, your balsamic vinegar, your coconut oil, your avocado oil, your olive oil.
00:12:16.000You take mud, and you put a little sugar and salt and butter in it, and then you flatten it out, and the mud is, like, not food, but it fills your stomach, so, you know, it doesn't hurt anymore.
00:12:25.000I mean, we're not there yet, but the... They will regret making people care this much.
00:12:31.000It is impacting every corner of people's lives in a way that this will drive anger.
00:12:37.000I mean, they're talking about, you know, abortion will fuel the midterm.
00:12:41.000Like, none of that will fuel the midterms.
00:12:43.000It is people driving to the gas tank and then not being able to go grocery shopping.
00:12:48.000It's amazing to me that they're really driving the gun control narrative right now.
00:12:51.000The media is pushing it like crazy, and I'm like, I'm pretty sure the dude who turns on the news, it's just all going past him.
00:12:59.000Every word they say with a like, gun control and mass shootings, and he's sitting there just thinking, I don't have any money left.
00:13:05.000I'm not gonna be able to afford it myself.
00:13:06.000They're trying to change the conversation.
00:13:11.000Because when there's somebody who just is, they're holding the receipt in their hand for a $100 tank of gas, And then you're like, listen to me!
00:13:28.000You cannot just wish cast that away with gun control or abortion or anything.
00:13:32.000At the end of the day, it's going to be the price of gas and the ripple effect of all of that.
00:13:37.000Well, not only that, but we're just coming from the era of COVID, where small businesses, small operations were shut down by two weeks of slowing the trend.
00:13:52.000This was happening under the Trump administration.
00:13:54.000The Biden administration is continuing the same kind of economic pain and suffering with all of their policies, all their regulations, all their taxes, all the moves that they're making that hinder the average person from having any kind of upward economic mobility.
00:14:09.000Trump did nothing, and Joe Biden is pushing regulations.
00:14:13.000So it was the governors in these states that were doing it.
00:14:18.000Well, Florida's doing okay, but it was Mike Pence that first said, we need two weeks to slow the spread.
00:14:26.000He's the first one that instituted that idea, and everyone's kind of went along with it, which was actually bonkers.
00:14:31.000So again, Florida did well because they were able to stand out and say, no, no, no, we're not going to punish everyone.
00:14:36.000There was also other ecological events that happened before COVID that hit Florida very severely, and their businesses were suffering before COVID.
00:14:44.000And that was another reason why DeSantis made a very strong stance saying, no, we can't shut down the small businesses of mom and pops.
00:14:50.000We can't have thug police officers walking around intimidating grandma telling her shut down her little trinket shop.
00:14:58.000The reaction, the causes of that, of stopping the global supply chains, of stopping the world economy, we're feeling the reverberations of that right now.
00:15:05.000So many other states that were feeling that and they went whole hog.
00:15:08.000I mean California was doing that, New York was feeling that.
00:15:11.000The states who stood up and said absolutely not were all Republican states.
00:15:15.000People have eyes and they can see that in Florida, in South Dakota, things went back to normal much quicker than they did in California and New York.
00:15:28.000But Florida was the first public big state that everyone was saying was going to lead to the killing of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people.
00:16:30.000And it like it became sort of, we just sat in our backyard and swam because nothing in Florida, where we were staying was actually really open.
00:16:39.000I just remember how crazy it was when the lockdown first started.
00:16:42.000And we had a small backyard that was like, what, like a point two of an acre or something.
00:16:47.000And we're just sitting in the backyard like nobody can go anywhere.
00:17:24.000He went to jail for making a stand just for allowing children to be able to be outside and not cramped up in little small apartment buildings, which was absolutely ridiculous and crazy and insane to see that entire process play out.
00:17:36.000And very few people actually stand up for their own personal liberty and will.
00:17:39.000But what we're seeing from those larger effects happened during the start of COVID.
00:17:45.000The larger economic effects that we're feeling right now is because of what happened then.
00:20:22.000And then it started skyrocketing towards the end and then under Obama.
00:20:25.000So it's funny because people keep pointing out that they show these images of $4 a gallon gas under Bush and they're like, I remember when gas was this high.
00:21:01.000So even local people are talking about how there's one store that's offering, you know, 30% off a gallon if you buy a carton of cigarettes.
00:21:09.000And they're like, we gotta go to this store.
00:21:11.000You gotta smoke it right at the gas station.
00:21:13.000I mean, these are conversations that are happening with average people, with normal people that are getting politically involved because they were thrown into a mess, which sadly, you know, a lot of ignorance has led to this because we saw the warning signs from a very long time ago, ever since 2008, the signs were there.
00:21:27.000But there was a warning sign in Joe Biden talking about climate change.
00:21:31.000So again, I'm not going to make a moral statement on climate change, but Joe Biden and Democrats have long said, we need exactly this.
00:21:40.000They want high gas prices so people don't drive, so there's less carbon emissions.
00:21:48.000He shut down various oil and gas leases.
00:21:50.000Josh Hawley has the list better than me.
00:21:52.000He took action specifically over climate and environmental issues, and that is a major contributor to why you are paying so much at the gas pump.
00:22:42.000They're saying you are the carbon that they want to get rid of.
00:22:45.000And again, we were talking about this yesterday.
00:22:47.000Biden is talking about these high gas prices being a quote, incredible transition.
00:22:51.000He was talking about how he wants to build back better, how he wants to set up more green policies as we're literally importing oil from Saudi Arabia.
00:22:59.000All of that in the name of green policies instead of domestic energy production.
00:23:03.000And then there's these politicians like this Democratic senator came out was bragging how the gas prices don't matter to her because she has an electric vehicle.
00:23:11.000So let's think about what happens in November.
00:23:16.000Gas prices are going to hit a peak in August.
00:23:24.000They're going to put out all the ads in the world.
00:23:27.000And I wouldn't be surprised if they actually, if we have like a record, I don't mean this literally, but I'm saying I would not be surprised if there's a record low spend from Democrats because they're like, just don't write it off.
00:23:39.000You would think that they would have their messaging a little better, right?
00:23:42.000Like, they're talking about gun control, they're talking about abortion, and they're talking about, like, well, I don't care about gas prices because I have an electric vehicle.
00:24:30.000So I think when they say the best polling in 80 years, when you consider the fact that the polling has been skewed by what, like seven points?
00:25:28.000There's gonna be a shortage of diesel, meaning you're not gonna have the food.
00:25:31.000And if it does come, I gotta tell everybody right now, if you don't have emergency supplies, or whatever, it sounds like you might be fighting over the last can of beans with Agnes in the parking lot at a Walmart.
00:25:40.000Maybe that's a little too much, though.
00:25:42.000But I'll tell you this, you're certainly gonna be fighting over toilet paper, because that already happened.
00:26:23.000Coincidentally, look, if you're an investor and you see the news, who would not be investing in future materials, metamaterials, whatever you can do, like fake meat, graphene, for instance?
00:27:31.000But from everything that I'm seeing, I think in the future, there's going to be a lot more economic instability.
00:27:35.000I think that's, without a doubt, definitely happening here in the United States.
00:27:39.000I think we're going to be seeing more limited supplies, random items that are not going to be available.
00:27:46.000I don't think it's going to be as bad as it will be in places like in Africa and the Middle East.
00:27:50.000Which are definitely expected to deal with the full brunt of this larger geopolitical proxy war that's happening inside of Ukraine, especially with the wheat and the fertilizer crisis, which will hit them.
00:28:01.000The richer countries will be able to afford a lot of the wheat, a lot of the food they will be importing out.
00:28:06.000Other countries that are poor in the Middle East and Africa, they're going to be facing some significant problems that is going to be overwhelming.
00:28:13.000So, um, I don't know how bad it'll get for us in the United States, but let's take a look at what our leaders are telling us.
00:28:19.000In this story from the Daily Mail, Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow brags that it doesn't matter to her how high gas prices are because she drives by every station in her electric vehicle.
00:28:31.000Okay, so if the meme of the person drowning getting a high-five from the person on the boat were a person, I was like, holy cow, I cannot imagine a better embodiment.
00:28:48.000So I was on Facebook and I see these memes, because I have like thousands of people follow me, And someone posted gas prices are not Joe Biden's fault or
00:30:09.000And then, you know, haven't heard a lot about it for 12 years, but... Maybe because it's nonsense.
00:30:13.000There's a video on YouTube of him doing it, and the other scientists are like, we should talk about it on the After Show, but I mean... There's a video on YouTube about how the Earth is flatting.
00:30:23.000Well, I'm saying if it's true that saltwater has a lot of, I mean, a lot of potential energy in it, if we really could burn the stuff, why is it like a cabal that's intentionally, is this just like a wealth transfer?
00:30:34.000They're going to charge as much as they can for oil until people can't pay any more?
00:30:39.000Let's entertain the idea that you can burn salt water.
00:30:43.000I'm not, you know, there's probably someone in the chat like burn might not be the right word, but like, you know, release heat from release.
00:30:49.000Yeah, the issue is that what you know, I did I did some reporting on the desalination plants in California.
00:30:57.000We cannot just pull water from the ocean.
00:30:59.000It creates brine, which then sinks to the bottom and causes serious problems.
00:31:04.000So the idea that we can extract from the oceans is not a long-term solution to anything.
00:31:09.000So even if we could take salt water and use it for some kind of fuel, you're gonna have byproducts, you're gonna have waste products, so that doesn't seem like a solution.
00:31:15.000Geez, I mean, oil has given us enough of a byproduct problem as we go.
00:31:21.000These electric cars, you know, they're not made out of some fairy-winged Al Gore coming up and pooping them out of his, you know, nether regions.
00:31:34.000These electric batteries don't come out of nowhere.
00:32:30.000There's elaborative Ponzi schemes that literally transfer the wealth from poor people to rich people, all in the name of fighting the environment, literally giving the money to the people destroying the environment, which is bonkers.
00:32:41.000I was in Chicago like, this is like 15 years ago, and they had these big city garbage bins, and there's one hole that says recycle and one hole that says garbage.
00:32:53.000That was like, I looked at it and I'm like, wait a minute.
00:32:55.000It just goes on a slide into one garbage can.
00:32:57.000But I still, I know this intellectually and yet I still cannot not do it.
00:33:02.000It's like been ingrained from childhood where you have to separate the cardboard and the plastic and the garbage and I can't not.
00:33:08.000If it's got food material on it you can't recycle it anyway.
00:33:10.000I know it's all nonsense and yet I have this like OCD that I cannot not do it.
00:33:15.000I was in Dallas and I ordered an Arnold Palmer and the lady comes and she brings it to me and I'm in Texas and she gives me a paper straw and then I laughed and I was like, paper straws, huh?
00:33:26.000And then she goes, some dumb little girl complains about...
00:33:30.000Shout out to Boyan Slat in the Ocean Cleanup Project.
00:33:38.000Have you guys been following his work?
00:33:40.000I interviewed him when he went to Bilderberg.
00:33:42.000He actually gave me an interesting comment about his take there.
00:33:45.000But he's also a fascinating, extremely young person that has been doing some really fascinating work when it comes to cleaning up the mess from essentially the Chinese dumping all the trash into the ocean.
00:33:58.000The Pacific Gyre, that giant Texas-sized swirling patch of plastic trash.
00:34:04.000He's out there with these giant ropes, cleaning it up.
00:34:06.000But where does it go when he cleans it up?
00:34:08.000He brings it back to shore, and then they gotta figure out what to do with the plastic.
00:34:10.000You can break it back down into oil if you heat it up with low oxygen or no oxygen environment.
00:38:16.000Inflation is the largest tax on the people of the world, and your wealth is literally being evaporated because of the financial policies of the U.S.
00:38:26.000Federal Reserve and the Biden administration.
00:38:27.000Well, I'll tell you what was really scary for me.
00:38:29.000We went- we have our truck for transporting materials and stuff and for moving the trailers and the mobile studio.
00:39:47.000So, I think it was in, I think 10 years ago, there was a, uh, the U.S.
00:39:51.000passed a bill requiring all new diesel, maybe it was longer than this, but all new diesel vehicles need to have diesel exhaust fluid, which is basically urea and water.
00:39:58.000And you, so when you, when we're filling up the ram with gas, there's actually two holes, a small one and a big one.
00:40:03.000If you go to a truck stop, you can pull out the DEF and stick it in and it smells like piss.
00:41:13.000Right. I mean, they're saying, you know, drive a Tesla, but you have to spend $55,000 minimum.
00:41:18.000Wait, if you could get it, if you're lucky to get it, because those are the regular prices that you
00:41:22.000could preorder. I know people that are making money just off preordering Teslas because of
00:41:27.000the value of how much they've been rapidly increasing.
00:41:30.000So they order one that they're gonna get in a year or two years, and then of course their value of it skyrockets up, and the value of the battery goes up, so they sell it as soon as they buy it.
00:42:12.000And the poverty that they're creating will lead to more crime, will lead to more people robbing to the steel is why they want to take the guns away.
00:42:24.000In an emotional appearance at the White House briefing room on Tuesday, Matthew McConaughey made an emotional appeal for greater gun control measures, at once evoking anguish and hope.
00:42:35.000How, he asked, can we make the loss of these lives matter?
00:42:38.000Oh, so he's outright saying he's exploiting the tragedy for political gain.
00:42:42.000It was nice of Yahoo to write this press release as a news story.
00:42:45.000Yeah, did you say in an emotional appearance he made an emotional plea?
00:42:52.000He brought the shoes of one of the children there.
00:42:55.000And he also brought a painting of one of the children there that lost their lives.
00:43:00.000This is also on the heels of one of the teachers coming out and also now during that incident talking about another important aspect of the story that again contradicts the police official version.
00:43:11.000There's so much to this that again is filled with just emotion so you don't rationally think about exactly what happened here.
00:43:26.000And you were saying before we started, it wasn't even... No, he's like a TV and film actor trying to do theater, and he's shuffling his feet, looking all nervous, looking down.
00:43:33.000Like, at least get off book if you're gonna try and lie to me.
00:43:36.000Make me think that you believe what you're saying.
00:43:37.000Dude, he said, this is a quote, we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an AR-15 rifle, too.
00:43:50.000And meanwhile, he's able to afford private security.
00:43:53.000He's able to afford guys walking around with guns that are going to protect him.
00:43:56.000And he's making the argument that of course, no, no, you can't have that.
00:43:59.000No, you're not responsible enough to do that.
00:44:01.000He flippantly said red flag laws, which would get like people with medical marijuana licenses to get their doors kicked in if they don't want to get their gun over, you know, like, come on, man.
00:44:23.000So if you guys know in the chat, if you have weapons already and then get a medical marijuana card, I wonder what happens.
00:44:31.000But you cannot buy a gun So, if you go to a gun store, it asks you, are you an illicit user of any... and it says in bold letters, note, marijuana is illegal at the federal level and you must... Well, that's a problem in itself.
00:44:47.000They call it a narcotic at the federal level.
00:45:08.000And they basically went and they did this propaganda piece called Reefer Madness and scared a bunch of people and then they made it illegal.
00:45:14.000This thing that basically was the foundation of our country.
00:45:17.000I don't care for smoking weed or anything like that, but it sounds like gun control to me.
00:45:20.000Because you've got a lot of young people who don't know or don't care.
00:45:25.000You've got people who walk down the boardwalk in California and they're told just spend five bucks and get a weed card and they're all disqualifying themselves from having guns.
00:45:34.000Yeah, as they're registered with the state.
00:45:35.000And there's been many instances, especially in Colorado, California, where you hear people denied the ability to defend themselves because of going through this process.
00:45:43.000Then you hear about the FBI not actually being able to get through all of their backlog of background checks.
00:46:55.000And then they were sort of misogynist and infantilizing because I had my kids with me and they're like, Are you concerned about your safety?
00:47:01.000Are you concerned about the safety of your children?
00:47:04.000I am concerned about your ability to do your job in a timely way, and I would like the ability to defend myself and my children, because I don't trust you, sir!
00:47:27.000And they all lied to me as to how to do it.
00:47:29.000Well the thing that kills me about this story is that the lesson of this Texas shooting is that we should never have guns.
00:47:36.000After we watched what the cops did standing out there for an hour, what was an hour?
00:47:41.000I would rather have a gun to protect myself and my children because the mom who jumped the fence She's the hero of the story, and the Border Patrol agent borrowed the shotgun of his barber.
00:47:54.000He is the hero of the story, and I am not super interested in entrusting my children and my safety in the hands of those people.
00:48:18.000My friend Joe Lizito dealt with this entire situation as police officers were watching as he was stopping a serial killer getting stabbed in the head.
00:48:26.000Police officers have argued in many states and even on the federal level They have no duty to protect and serve you.
00:48:33.000That's right, with the SCOTUS decision.
00:49:19.000The story became David Hogg and all these things instead of the dad who kind of stood up and was like, I'm sorry, can we have a conversation about what happened with the police department?
00:49:27.000The teacher that was in the classroom where he lost all of his students came out and said he had to pretend that he was dead for over an hour.
00:49:35.000He heard police officers, and then he said that they retreated.
00:51:14.000But I also think that he's the kind of person that if you make fun of him and act like he's not a big deal, will become way more politically powerful than you intend.
00:51:21.000Well, look, when half of the political space in this country is people who are willfully ignorant and then accuse everyone else of being willfully ignorant, I don't know how you solve that problem anyway.
00:51:33.000I mean, you see that in no more clear context than with guns.
00:51:36.000They do not understand the very basic mechanics.
00:51:40.000I'm thinking about policing because I'm kind of with you Luke that you can't really rely on cops to save you but like I think okay that we start from the beginning again then you you have your homeschooling your kids in your house you have guns to protect it but that's not scalable because you can't be on guard all day that's why we develop specialization as a species we have people that specialize in defense of the community well no no no Armed societies are polite societies, and if you look at some examples specifically, when a criminal knows that someone could defend themselves, they're not going to treat them like a victim.
00:52:09.000They're going to know that there's going to be consequences if they aggress against somebody else.
00:52:13.000I understand that, but coordinated attacks, no one dad is going to be able to stop.
00:52:18.000So I am probably the only person on my block who has guns, and I'm very okay with everyone knowing it.
00:52:25.000Because at the end of the day, it's not my house getting robbed.
00:52:29.000Luke, I think your power cable might be on your microphone or something.
00:52:31.000Yeah, I'm trying to troubleshoot it, but I also got to switch cameras.
00:52:34.000But on that note, Bethany, there's this viral video, James O'Keefe recently posted it, where they went door to door and asked people if they were in favor of gun control.
00:52:43.000And when they said yes, he was like, we have the sign saying, proud gun-free home.
00:53:01.000People should be armed, I think, or at least have the right to arm themselves and let people know we're armed.
00:53:05.000But on top of that, you're still going to need a community police force at some level, because you can't expect parents to always be on guard.
00:53:14.000If you're teaching your kid, you're not on guard.
00:53:16.000So at some point, you're going to have to rely on your community To protect you at some point in some instances.
00:53:23.000Maybe it's just gotten too big, like having a small police force.
00:53:26.000I saw this chaos in Philadelphia the other night, maybe two days ago or something.
00:53:29.000And there were like four cops, I think, where they are at this huge crowd of like a hundred kids, a hundred people out in the street just shooting each other.
00:53:36.000Yeah, well, the crazy aspect is, you know, the same kind of Democratic Party establishment, the same kind of individuals that are telling you, you can't have a gun, you shouldn't have a gun, are the same individuals that are usually financed and sponsored by individuals like George Soros that literally are financing DAs and public prosecutors that let criminals leave and get out of jail after committing very horrible, violent crime.
00:53:56.000There was a crazy incident in Los Angeles recently with a mother that was run over by a crazy criminal.
00:54:03.000The criminal got five to seven months out of camp.
00:54:06.000In response to him running over a mother and her child again There's been so many instances of just horrible violent people being let out into the streets And these are the same people doing that telling you you can't defend yourself You can't have you know we need more laws to go after law-abiding citizens that of course won't be following The context and pretext that they want them to let's talk about a new law.
00:54:28.000Oh, yeah this guy We got a story from the post-millennial.
00:54:31.000California lawmaker who relaxed punishments for sex offenders proposes mandatory drag queen 101 class for K-12 students.
00:54:40.000So, when the left demands something and the GOP ignores it, they get it.
00:54:46.000When the left demands something and the GOP pushes back, they recoil and then demand something twice as bad.
00:54:54.000You may have seen the story where there's a big neon sign saying it's not going to lick itself and children are dancing with sexualized adult performers at a nightclub that was doing a family event, which is not for families, but they're claiming it is.
00:55:07.000And in response to this, this guy is like, why don't we make it mandatory in schools?
00:55:13.000In response to a Texas state representative announcing he will file legislation to ban drag shows from having children in their audience, California State Senator Scott Weiner proposed offering drag queen curriculum in schools.
00:55:31.000Brian Slatin of Texas, he said, Offering drag queen 101 as part of the k-12 curriculum attending drag queen story time will satisfy the requirement So I don't think he's completely serious, you know, I think he's just meant like poking the bear But the fact that they've gone beyond defending it and are now publicly being like let's do more.
00:56:13.000And I now know, I mean, if you look at the test scores out of where I live, Montgomery County, Maryland, used to be like 65 to 75 percent of kids were sort of adequately prepared to do algebra in middle school.
00:56:51.000And then someone like the bartender asked him if he was gay and he said no and his mom went yes he is he is gay
00:56:56.000He says no, I'm not you got really angry. Munchausen. It's Munchausen. Yeah, or or I don't know if it's I don't know
00:57:01.000if that's Munchausen That's like a mother who's like I'm a special mom. I have a
00:57:06.000special she wants to fit in She wants to be a part of whatever this is. I
00:57:10.000Don't know how many of these parents there actually exist I mean, I would like to know if this guy actually has children, because at the end of the day... So, Heroes of Liberty, the books that I do, we were just reviewed by Current Affairs, and the reviewer had no children.
00:57:23.000He's like the socialist with cats, and he has no children, and he's like, this is what parents should be teaching their children, this is what they should not be...
00:57:35.000They want to capture our kids in K-12 kids.
00:57:39.000So again, in Montgomery County, where I live, there was just sort of an announcement put out on like the mommy listservs that normally at our local zoned elementary school, they've hit 100 kids by now in kindergarten enrollment.
00:57:56.000Right now, they have 55 kids signed up for kindergarten.
00:58:00.000And they're starting to panic because by June 30th, they're going to start having to fire kindergarten teachers because they're not going to have enough kids registered.
00:58:09.000They got federal money over COVID to sort of inflate their budget because people were pulling their kids out.
00:58:16.000But that federal money is now gone and they're screwed.
00:58:19.000I want to pull up this tweet from Libs of TikTok.
00:58:22.000Who writes, The Mayor of Apex, North Carolina announced that the Drag Queen part of the Pride event has been cancelled after feedback received from citizens, but it's more interesting than that.
00:58:31.000The letter from the Mayor says, It continues to be my goal to ensure that all voices in our community are represented.
00:58:38.000I have received a variety of feedback regarding the Drag Queen story hour at the upcoming Apex Pride Festival.
00:58:44.000Given that this part of the event was not originally presented when the event was proposed, I met with representatives from the organization hosting the event, the Apex Festival Commission, and presented the feedback I've received from citizens.
00:58:57.000Today I was notified that the Apex Festival Commission has taken the feedback into careful consideration and has decided to remove the Drag Queen Story Hour from the event.
01:01:46.000And so what really frustrated me about this call for everyone to enroll their kindergartner in school.
01:01:52.000Or the kindergarten teachers will lose their jobs.
01:01:55.000When did the kindergarten teachers express any concern over children over the last years?
01:02:00.000I know that the unions were sort of the larger villains, but I didn't see that many teachers coming out and saying, we need to be in person and I need to teach reading without masks on myself for the children.
01:02:14.000And the psychological negative impacts of the mask wearing, of specifically the distance learning, is going to have long-term consequences for children that are not going to be able to be socially available for people.
01:02:25.000We're going to turn an entire generation into, and I don't say this in a bad way, into autistic.
01:02:32.000They are not going to be able to form these social bonds.
01:02:34.000My kid does occupational therapy and most of the occupational therapist patients are
01:02:40.000on the autism spectrum and they've told us like, this is bad.
01:02:44.000Or have good human interactions with the fellow children and fellow friends.
01:02:48.000And another aspect of this to really kind of ascertain is that they're not going to
01:02:52.000be able to have healthy relationships, whether with friends or with partners or with lovers.
01:02:57.000And then you add the aspect of pornography and how readily available it is and how it
01:03:01.000literally rewires children's brains and then you teach people not to have, you know, you're
01:03:07.000essentially leading people down the pathway where they're going to be alone and miserable
01:03:11.000And I think this is all done on purpose, because then you have the perfect consumer.
01:03:15.000You could control someone, you could enslave someone when they're an individual, but when they're a family, when they're a group, or when they're a unit, it's harder to control and subjugate a population.
01:03:23.000If you want to explain to people who don't understand the damage masks do, it's actually quite simple.
01:03:29.000Set the volume on a TV just low enough to where it's kind of hard to hear, and then have something play on the TV, and then ask this person what they said, and they'll tell you.
01:03:39.000Then block their view of the person's mouth and play it again, and they'll say, I couldn't hear it.
01:04:13.000And was it Michael Malice who said that schools are maybe the place, the one place where children experience violence or something like that?
01:04:27.000I mean, especially when you look at the larger People call it an education system.
01:04:32.000It's, again, an institution that indoctrinates children for the political benefit of the people controlling that institution.
01:04:40.000And this is why David Rockefeller was instrumental in creating the modern-day education system, trying to create factory workers that were going to be good workers for him and no one else.
01:04:49.000You treat everyone exactly the same, and everyone sort of goes through the machine.
01:04:52.000Are you familiar with John Taylor Gadd?
01:05:23.000Yeah and the homeschool philosophy that we follow because I homeschool all my kids, I mean not all of them obviously I have a baby, but it's called Charlotte Mason and it just basically yeah and it talks about sort of her entire philosophy is the respecting the personhood of children and treating every child Yeah, homeschooling is on the rise, which I think is absolutely incredible, absolutely awesome.
01:07:23.000They have so much incredibleness within them.
01:07:26.000And the school system, the indoctrination system intentionally suppresses that to make
01:07:31.000And people think when you say indoctrination system that it's, you know, you're sort of feeding all this drag queen stuff, which obviously is happening, but I think that the larger point of indoctrination isn't, and the damage isn't that messaging, the progressive messaging, which I obviously think is really damaging, it's treating children like they are cogs and like rats.
01:08:52.000So they're really hard to put together.
01:08:54.000Let me tell you, as someone who spent the last three years trying, it takes more coordination because then you have to rely on other people.
01:09:01.000And I don't know if you remember group projects when you were a kid.
01:09:04.000Never rely on someone else to do it because no one does it as well as you do.
01:09:08.000So I don't know if they have these where you are, but in Colorado, when we were homeschooling, we had these co-ops where you could go and learn Latin.
01:09:16.000Yeah, they're incredible, but they're super hard to form.
01:09:20.000And then, so this is like just my personality.
01:09:23.000I hate rules and I don't like people telling me what to do.
01:09:27.000And a lot of the co-ops near us were crazy with COVID, and so I just didn't want to partake.
01:09:33.000And a lot of them, I mean, we sort of fit into a sort of weird ideological box because we're Jewish and because, you know, whatever.
01:09:40.000And so it's hard to sort of find like-minded people.
01:09:43.000But we're, I mean, we're trying to form that where I live, but it's hard to coordinate.
01:10:02.000So my kids do it like it's called Gesher and like it's it's based.
01:10:06.000So the problem with the Jewish model and like my experience and my perception is that so in the Jewish community, people, 95% of people send their kids to Jewish day schools like Orthodox.
01:10:19.000So, if you actually like care about your faith, you will send your kids to these schools, but they're like $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 a pop.
01:10:27.000And so, it's a kind of birth control because people are like, oh, we can only really afford to have two or three kids.
01:10:34.000So, people have two or three kids and so, it forms, you know, sort of, it becomes birth control basically.
01:10:40.000And so what some people do but very few people is that they pull their kids out, and I'm talking like 2% of people homeschool right now, and the woman who runs this program that my kids do, she runs all of the Jewish classes online on Zoom.
01:11:02.000It makes no sense because we have the financial constraints of not just the tuition, but also you have to live within walking distance of your synagogue.
01:11:10.000And so there's a Jew tax on your house because it's the home value and it's also the property taxes.
01:11:18.000And so it's really expensive to be Jewish, which is like, you know, there's a reason why there's all the stereotypes about us being cheap because we're really tight.
01:11:25.000Um, kosher food is also super expensive, and so I don't get why there's not more Jewish homeschoolers, but... I think I can easily attribute much of my success to the fact that I was homeschooled before kindergarten.
01:11:37.000So, you know, when I was growing up, when I'm a little kid, my mom's homeschooling me from our earliest memories until we even started kindergarten.
01:11:45.000And then I learned, later on, none of my friends had any schooling.
01:11:50.000That they were, you know, three and four years old, doing very little, if anything.
01:11:54.000You know, getting a little bit of instruction from their parents, but mostly nothing.
01:11:57.000I was actually, you know, every day, we'd have grammar books, we'd have math books, and vocabulary, and all that stuff.
01:12:03.000And so, I started researching schools, because I despised them, completely.
01:12:07.000I did K through 8th grade, and then I did a couple months of high school, and then just stopped completely with all school.
01:12:20.000So the issue is, you know, I remember when the conversation around college was happening and people were surprised to learn you don't need a high school diploma to go to college.
01:12:29.000But all of my friends were convinced they had to have one, and I was like, once you turn 18, you can just go to community college, get an associate's, and then transfer.
01:12:37.000I have a friend, when she realized that she was completely sold on homeschooling, her, I think, sophomore age in high school, he's already going to community college.
01:12:47.000By the time he graduates high school at 18, he'll have an associate.
01:13:10.000I don't want to kind of release the name of it.
01:13:13.000I went to two high schools and when you're there, you have teachers that are absolutely horrible, that absolutely ruin learning, ruin literature, ruin your ability to even, you know, have basic, you know, functions.
01:13:26.000And there's also, you know, teachers that do care.
01:13:30.000I had teachers growing up I know four of them off the top of my head that used to say, OK, this is what they want you to learn.
01:13:37.000This is what's going to be on the test.
01:13:39.000Now, here, let me tell you how the CIA brings them crack into the poor neighborhoods.
01:13:46.000Here, let me tell you about, you know, Gulf of Tonkin.
01:13:49.000And there was four teachers throughout my entire life in New York City Public School that were absolutely incredible, caring, loving individuals that did a good job, that actually made you understand what the world was really like.
01:14:18.000You had four teachers who were caring and whatever.
01:14:22.000When you get into the parenting world and you realize how few parents care about their own children, that I think is one of the most earth-shattering.
01:14:30.000I've been saying this and people didn't like it.
01:14:35.000That would prefer to have a job, knowing it meant their children are being groomed, than to risk their, their comfort and their access to resources.
01:14:50.000And this is something that I truly do not understand as a parent because, and Jordan Peterson talks about this, who your children are are basically under the age of 10, a reflection on you.
01:15:00.000So if your child is a real hmm, then that means that you're not a great person either.
01:15:05.000And I always say to my daughter, because we have like social issues, if the parent is liberal, they sometimes don't want their child playing with my child.
01:15:13.000And this has been a reoccurring issue in our family, unfortunately.
01:15:17.000And my daughter was really disappointed for some reason.
01:15:19.000I'm just gonna be honest with you, honey.
01:16:22.000Upon taking over for Jeff Zucker, Chris Licht has vowed to make changes among them as a reduction of partisan programming and on-air personalities.
01:16:30.000If he gets his way, on-air talent could be ousted if they can't adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy.
01:17:49.000Didn't they have Jesse Ventura on, and they canceled in 2008, and they canceled his contract because he criticized the war when they told him to stop.
01:18:39.000Yeah, no, I followed the news closely and I was like...
01:18:42.000So that's 2009 is when Comcast, well actually they announced that they were buying NBCUniversal and then it was 2013 when they actually bought Universal.
01:18:50.000Now you see BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard own 20% or whatever, 18% of Comcast.
01:18:57.000So it's just this media consolidation you see with the banks, with Wells Fargo now owns whatever else, other banks, and Comcast is just dictating the narrative.
01:19:05.000Yeah, the more you consolidate anything like that, I think the worse it's going to be.
01:19:09.000I think we are seeing all this corporatization because at the end of the day, like three companies own everything.
01:19:14.000I bet you that more people watch your show.
01:19:53.000I mean, some people, I guess, are used to it, so they're still comfortable with being talked at, but... So, I just pulled up... Adweek's ratings are up to date, but they don't let you read them unless you log in, and you can't log in because the system doesn't work, for whatever reason.
01:20:07.000But I pulled up, this is from National Media Spots, MSN... So, Fox News, 1.5 million in... What is their number?
01:21:24.000But it's definitely changing and changing for the better.
01:21:26.000So what I'm wondering is, I'm wondering, you know, from an internal business perspective and from a cultural perspective, what's the upward limit of a show like this?
01:21:35.000Can we ever be as big as Tucker Carlson?
01:22:16.000I mean, I don't want to break the conversation and start talking about tech that doesn't exist yet, but it seems like we're headed towards an environment where we're more interoperable as humans.
01:23:04.000And so everyone in the country has to choose between these five channels.
01:23:08.000So you've got 100 million people all watching TV, 20 million watching this one show, and that one guy that's on it is seen by all of those people.
01:23:16.000I mean, this now it's it's there's there's 50 shows to choose from.
01:23:20.000And I think that this is part of a larger sort of our culture is sort of we're not as connected anymore, because it used to be that everyone used to watch the same shows and listen to the same music, whatever.
01:23:31.000And now you were talking about some stranger things before the show and I was like, I've never seen that show and I have no intention.
01:24:20.000I don't know if you call it good or bad, but spiritually it's painful to not know what other people are thinking or caring about.
01:24:26.000Also, powerful people manipulate the perception with bots and spam accounts and fake accounts to make ideas look more popular than they actually are if they have an agenda in pushing it.
01:24:36.000And that's why I think the Elon Musk spam kind of debate is a lot more important than we even understand right now.
01:24:42.000But another aspect to kind of look at here is that the corporate media, a lot of their viewership is dying off.
01:24:48.000They're slowly passing away of old age.
01:24:52.000And I think, you know, Tim, you make a good statement.
01:24:54.000I think it's the same kind of statement that Andy Warhol made when he said, in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
01:25:01.000And I think with, you know, the digitalization of everything, I think that's where we're going.
01:25:05.000I think that's where we're at almost as a certainty in the near future.
01:25:10.000Yeah, I mean, you think about sort of America's sweetheart, like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock and all the like, Do we have that today?
01:25:19.000And to me, I'm very emotionally invested in Rachel Green, aka Jennifer Aniston's procreation, but now she's 55 and it's not going to happen.
01:25:45.000Because back in the day, people were like, do we really want to run nonstop of the nastiest coverage on someone that people kind of like a lot?
01:26:06.000You can make a magazine called Celebrity Love, and you can make a magazine called Celebrity Gossip, where one says Will Smith is the best, and the other says Will Smith is garbage.
01:26:13.000Run them both, get both audiences, and make money off the hatred and the positivity.
01:26:17.000Yeah, Meghan Markle is like the key demo on that.
01:27:10.000You can tell it to do anything you can say.
01:27:12.000Draft me a product proposal or like give me a catchphrase.
01:27:16.000And I said, tell me a story about Donald Trump defeating
01:27:20.000the lizard people with his good friend Alex Jones.
01:27:23.000And it wrote this really amazing story, a couple of them I ran, where one was like, Trump was at a rally, went in the stands, he sees a couple lizard people in masks shouting, and he points him out and everyone starts booing.
01:27:35.000And then he goes into the stands with Alex Jones.
01:27:37.000It was just an absolutely ridiculous story.
01:27:40.000One was like a lizard guy breaks into Trump's house and he throws Alex Jones' book at him and hits him in the face, knocking him out.
01:27:44.000You make me think of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
01:28:21.000You can't use that stuff if you're a mega-conglomerate.
01:28:23.000You should be broken up, first of all, so we gotta figure out ways to make the system so that it cannot grow to a place where we're gonna ever have to Interesting proposal, but a lot of the rules and regulations made the corporations as powerful as they are right now because they made smaller businesses and competitors at a disadvantage to the people who are friends with the politicians.
01:28:41.000So do you think more rules and laws will save that?
01:28:44.000That's a question that a lot of people are asking themselves.
01:28:46.000I'm a little bit more skeptical of that.
01:28:48.000I'm very libertarian for the most part, but there's one thing I think the government should be focused on is breaking up monopolies and making sure people don't become economic slaves.
01:28:58.000But at the end of the day, they're the ones who are going to be able to get around all the laws.
01:29:01.000There's no law that you could write that would make Jeff Bezos do anything.
01:29:35.000It would be like the king saying, there's nothing we can do to- But like, if the founding fathers gave up before they started, I can't give up on this.
01:29:40.000There are definitely ways we can use law and order to protect ourselves.
01:29:43.000The government would be the crown in this analogy, trying to stop Jeff Bezos.
01:31:42.000We were subjected to all the COVID rules the longest out of anywhere else in Maryland.
01:31:46.000And people are terrified of standing up and just saying what they think might be an unpopular thing or submitting themselves to the mob of, you know, when you run for office, people think that they own your soul and they try to destroy you.
01:32:02.000Yeah, I'm thinking about how do you stand up against a government?
01:32:17.000But the thing is, when I say we need a new government, it's not that we need to trash the U.S.
01:32:21.000It's the corporations I'm concerned with.
01:32:23.000And we can use our government and the structure of the Constitution to defend against that.
01:32:28.000The best way to make a government obsolete is to not need it and not to depend on it.
01:32:32.000And that's why personal responsibility is my choice of a solution.
01:32:37.000Letting people be happy, healthy, and productive, and just overall living a good life is something that, of course, the state does not want you to have.
01:32:46.000And I think if we did, we wouldn't need a lot of the government that we have in our life.
01:32:50.000What do you do when the dude who's like two miles upstream from you and your friends' little farmhouses starts taking a dump in the water?
01:32:58.000What do you do when Monsanto poisons the entire food supply, when they create GMO everywhere?
01:33:03.000What do you do when they have control of entire crops that literally spread throughout the entire world that there's no stopping?
01:33:10.000So that's the situation that we're dealing with, but now we have Monsanto protected by the state.
01:33:17.000If we didn't have a state... We agree on that.
01:33:19.000When you then get to the circumstance where somebody is upstream from you, and it's a legitimate question, I'm not getting you, How do you, like, what's the effective way to respond to someone who's not willing to cooperate with you and they're, like, polluting your water?
01:33:37.000My counterpoint is, yes, it's already happening.
01:33:40.000We'll deal with that problem as it comes.
01:33:42.000But that problem is less of a problem with that one individual compared to a multinational corporation That literally has a monopoly and could do whatever they want and are destroying the soils.
01:33:53.000When we look at the larger impacts of it, is it an individual stopping this and stopping this one person?
01:33:58.000I would argue that there would be less harm, there would be less pain, there would be less suffering if there was more decentralization.
01:34:05.000Because of centralization, we have Monsanto, we have Glyphosate, we have the rise of horrible cancers, we have the rise of factory farming, we
01:34:13.000have the destruction of our soils that's getting rid of the nutrients and minerals in there
01:34:17.000that's creating very severe health problems for the rest of the country.
01:34:20.000So I would argue that with this system we have more pain and suffering than if we didn't
01:34:24.000have this kind of system and if we had more decentralized ways.
01:34:27.000Then what happens when you get a monopolistic power like Monsanto regardless?
01:34:32.000People argue from this perspective that of course the market would respond.
01:34:36.000People would know that they would be voting for and supporting something with their dollar and they would be doing so.
01:34:40.000But that's an argument to be made here.
01:34:44.000That some people are making the other perspective of it is, of course, that they're so powerful that they can't be stopped and they'll be willing to do what they can.
01:35:24.000That's why I'm like, I don't know what the solution is, be it the state protecting or the private company just hiring private military to protect themselves.
01:35:32.000I mean, I think a lot of this sort of goes back to what we were talking about, like the atomization of people just don't care about, you know, their fellow man anymore when we have nothing in common with people and we don't know who our neighbors are.
01:35:42.000You don't care about if someone downstream two houses down, you're taking a dump in their water because you don't know who they are and you don't care anything about them.
01:35:49.000I mean, this is the sort of breakdown of community that Tim Carney talks about a lot.
01:35:53.000Ben Sasse talks about a lot when we have no connection to our larger community.
01:36:26.000And we talk about politics and get into different perspectives.
01:36:31.000And people, especially in the RV community, are a lot more open and a lot better than a lot of other people in closed communities in big cities.
01:36:40.000Yeah, because it's very, sort of, everyone has to help each other.
01:37:08.000All right, Outside Sound says, just saw the biggest beanie I've ever seen in a billboard on the corner of Halstead and Chicago Avenue in Chicago.
01:40:58.000Graphene, when we start producing this stuff en masse and start building stuff out of it, we're not going to need steel, we're not going to need copper as much.
01:41:54.000Revolution any any any highlighted evol oh like love Luke.
01:41:58.000Do you think you would be disappointed if Dave Smith took the helm?
01:42:00.000I don't trust any man or any person Everyone should have a check on their power. No matter who
01:42:07.000it is, especially if they're part of a revolution revolutions usually turn
01:42:12.000Into you know worst situations historically and I think the the commenter was talking about more of an evolution
01:42:18.000And that was the kind of slogan by Ron Paul It was a revolution, but it highlighted the evolution part, which I think is much more important to concentrate on, especially when it comes to personal development.
01:43:29.000She's a stay-at-home mom in this large families group, and she said, I have to go back to work to pay for my husband's gas so that he can go to work.
01:43:54.000I mean, I have several... I mean, I'm friends with a lot of the kosher businesses in my area, and they're very frank about the... I mean, like, Jesus, talk about money.
01:44:04.000and they they talk about like their their chicken costs and their their labor costs and everything and they're just like I have to raise my price by 35 because I have no alternative and then people don't want to buy their stuff anymore because we can't feed our family for under 100 bucks anymore so I mean we don't get as Chinese as much Ardwick says, Biden isn't lying.
01:45:00.000in incompetent hands says my hat says make america florida i wear it every day but can't remember where i got it some loser i guess i wonder where he wound up i puke nightly but only from all of the potatoes and whiskey shim cast for life i would be careful with that potatoes and whiskey diet and and are you talking about maybe this hat uh that i also have here coincidentally make america florida it's got one of my favorite shirts yep Tulsi Gabbard?
01:46:04.000Let's see, SoAndNB says, SoAndDB, or however you pronounce it, between Ian FreeTheCode Crossland and Luke HatesGatesRydkowski, I'm surprised you guys haven't had Linux put on all the office computers yet.
01:46:58.000Mike Gibson says, There is a Popular Mechanics article from October 1st, 2009 by Daniel Tam Claiborne about burning saltwater with 13.6 MHz frequency microwaves.
01:47:22.000It's basically, and you see a gap between the salt water and where the fire starts, just like on the sun.
01:47:27.000Below the corona you see that gap where there's no flame.
01:47:30.000So I think the sun might be getting a frequency that's making it light up like a flame ball.
01:47:33.000So if we can get the salt water, which is done in a test tube in the lab, but taken into low orbit where it coagulates into a sphere, and then you run the current through it, it's gonna light up like a star.
01:51:27.000You won't be able to drive in New York because if people know there's no- They want that.
01:51:31.000But sure, but if they switch to self-driving cars, you still need to deliver things, right?
01:51:35.000So if the trucks are doing deliveries and they're all self-driving, people are going to be like, I can't get hit.
01:51:39.000And so no one will ever stop for the crosswalks.
01:51:42.000Yeah, but people don't actually put two and two together.
01:51:44.000It's kind of like with everything going on with diesel shortages and whatever, people don't put two and two together that when gas prices go up, their grocery prices go up.
01:51:54.000And so New Yorkers are going to love jaywalking and they're not going to put two and two together.
01:52:32.000You're making an argument for facial recognition.
01:52:35.000Citizen, you have been issued a ticket.
01:52:37.000Not when there's 300 people every 10 seconds crossing the street like you see in New York.
01:52:42.000Unless you have a social credit score and facial recognition systems like they do in China, where they just take a photo of you and automatically deduct your money out of your bank account.
01:54:37.000Based for Life Radio says my son will be participating in a homestead homeschool co-op for kindergarten, learning how to care for chickens, livestock, gardening, composting, aquaponics.
01:54:47.000Shout out Based for Life Radio for independent, anti-establishment, grunge punk rock.
01:54:59.000And there's the nocebo effect, which is also a big trip.
01:55:01.000The scientific method can't really account for why the placebo effect seems to work, but in the medical industry, they're not allowed to tell a patient, you're getting healthier, because they can get sued if the patient dies.
01:55:10.000I wonder if in the education system, they're not allowed to tell a kid, you're succeeding, you're gonna be great, you're gonna solve the world's problems, because they think there's some liability.
01:56:03.000They use it in Europe, too, because of the, you know, how expensive the gas is there.
01:56:09.000So, yeah, I've saw, in Poland, I saw a couple people even use, like, have those tanks in the back of their trunk and set up their car to run on both.
01:58:44.000And so I'm looking at the trees and I see like three and I read how they're like hard to grow and they're hard to pollinate so they're kind of rare and I'm like okay well maybe we'll have a handful to try out.
01:58:53.000When pawpaw season came, you couldn't walk through the forest without getting hit in the head by a pawpaw.
02:00:05.000Gorhent says, can you guys please address the fact that Tulsi Gabbard is a World Economic Forum Young Leaders member, the same as Dan Crenshaw.
02:00:39.000We've been waiting, and I think it would be great to have a conversation where we could go over, you know, a lot of the misconceptions that people have.
02:00:46.000He agreed to come on, then his guy said they were scheduling conflict, and then the outreach is canceled on us.
02:01:22.000So no Luke, but don't worry, everyone will puke.

02:01:38.000Bethany, do you want to shout anything out?
02:01:39.000Yeah, so heroesofliberty.com is the children's books that we do on Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, we talked a lot about like masculinity and stuff and this is sort of our antidote because teaching boys that it's not a bad thing.
