Transcript

00:00:00.000 Donald Trump is facing 561 years in prison.
00:00:29.000 in prison.
00:00:30.000 In fact, he's fundraising off of it.
00:00:33.000 Not surprised.
00:00:34.000 His betting odds have increased with these latest indictments and the betting odds for his rival candidates are going down.
00:00:42.000 Well, again, I can't say I'm surprised because whenever they go after Trump like this, he's going to raise tons of money.
00:00:46.000 They put his name in the press.
00:00:48.000 They make historical context by which Trump will raise historical sums of money.
00:00:53.000 This will be interesting.
00:00:54.000 Alan Dershowitz came out and said that SCOTUS will shut this down.
00:00:58.000 And he's probably right.
00:01:00.000 Some people are saying that it's going to go to the Supreme Court before it even sees any kind of arraignment or criminal trial, but we shall see.
00:01:09.000 In other news, this is interesting, Vivek Ramaswamy is getting roasted because he said he doesn't believe the 9-11 commission report.
00:01:16.000 Of course, he is completely correct in his opinion in how he broke it down, and the media is taking this tiny morsel slightly out of context to try and smear him.
00:01:24.000 But I find that one particularly funny.
00:01:25.000 And then, um, I guess because everybody wants to have a good laugh and, you know, we're always talking about this negative news, World War III, you know, Poland is saying that the Wagner Group is headed towards a NATO country and all that stuff.
00:01:36.000 We're going to talk about something a bit more...
00:01:40.000 Positive.
00:01:40.000 That'll make you laugh and feel good.
00:01:42.000 Justin Trudeau's getting divorced!
00:01:44.000 Uh, okay, he's not really getting divorced.
00:01:45.000 He's separating from his wife, but we'll see how that plays out.
00:01:47.000 And then we got a bunch of other stories.
00:01:48.000 We'll probably talk about Lizzo.
00:01:50.000 You know, she's getting sued because she, like, mercilessly abused her backup dancers, and it's, like, truly a horrifying story.
00:01:56.000 There's a bunch of other stuff we can get to.

00:02:57.000 I'm Jose Gaison.
00:02:58.000 I have a podcast called No Way, Jose.
00:03:00.000 I'm probably best known for my coverage on the Oklahoma City bombing.
00:03:04.000 Last time I was here, I let you guys all know that Terence Hickey didn't kill himself.
00:03:07.000 And less than a month later, CNN ended up covering that story.
00:03:09.000 So today, I'm here to tell you Ken Thornton didn't kill himself.
00:03:12.000 And Jesse Trenthout, his brother, sure could use some awareness.
00:03:14.000 He still continues his over 25-year-long battle for justice in his brother's death.
00:03:19.000 And the people that did him in, you know, still walking free today.
00:03:23.000 I have no idea the context of any of that.
00:03:25.000 It's an individual in the Oklahoma City bombing.
00:03:27.000 I suggest people go look into it.
00:03:28.000 Type the search up.
00:03:29.000 Can't threaten to do.

00:03:39.000 So both my podcasts are very different.
00:03:41.000 But yeah, I'm looking forward to being here today.
00:03:42.000 Right on.
00:03:44.000 Let's go.
00:03:45.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:03:45.000 We've got Hannah-Claire Brimlow hanging out.
00:03:47.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.
00:03:48.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
00:03:50.000 You should go follow them on social media.
00:03:52.000 And Brett's here.
00:03:53.000 Oh yes, hello.
00:03:54.000 My name is Brett Dasvick.
00:03:55.000 I am the host of Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday, 3 p.m.
00:03:58.000 Eastern Standard Time.
00:03:59.000 Glad to be here.
00:04:00.000 Yeah, Ian is out because he's been working out so aggressively that he is currently drained and laying on the floor downstairs.
00:04:08.000 My favorite part is now when he's walking around, he's walking around in cut-off shirts.
00:04:12.000 That's the best part.
00:04:14.000 He's getting ready.
00:04:14.000 I love it.
00:04:16.000 Oh yeah, it's been good seeing you, Ian.
00:04:18.000 It really has.
00:04:19.000 His whole personality's kind of shifted a little bit.
00:04:21.000 I think you guys would agree.
00:04:22.000 Definitely.
00:04:23.000 It's the testosterone surging through his veins, you know?
00:04:25.000 He's bulking up.
00:04:27.000 I saw him punch a hole in the wall the other day.
00:04:28.000 I was scared.
00:04:29.000 He bumped my shoulders on the way up here.
00:04:31.000 He just flared it, man.
00:04:32.000 Yeah, anyways.
00:04:34.000 Surge.com, guys.
00:04:35.000 Let's get into whenever you're ready, Tim.
00:04:36.000 Alright, here's the first story from me.
00:04:40.000 561 years in prison.
00:04:42.000 Trump fundraising off of recent indictment with dire warning, you could be thrown in jail for six lifetimes.
00:04:50.000 So I actually got this email and it says, Patriot!
00:04:54.000 With Crooked Joe's corrupt DOJ having unlawfully indicted yours truly yet again, reports indicate that I could now face a combined 561 years in prison from the left's witch hunts.
00:05:04.000 Six lifetimes!
00:05:05.000 There's only one message someone can send by trying to throw you in jail for six lifetimes, and that's fear.
00:05:10.000 The fear that if you vote for the only candidate who puts you first, you too could be harassed, indicted, and even arrested by the current Marxist regime in Washington.
00:05:21.000 Alright, well, so we know about these indictments, but the latest update here, aside from the fact that Trump could be facing 561 years, Alan Dershowitz says conviction of Trump would be overturned by the Supreme Court.
00:05:33.000 On Tuesday, Biden's DOJ filed yet another indictment, as we know, following the announcement.
00:05:36.000 Lawyer and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity to discuss the former president's legal prospects, suggesting that while he would likely be convicted, The ruling would be overturned by the Supreme Court.
00:05:47.000 Quote, they claim that Donald Trump actually believed that he lost the election, that everything he did was fraudulent, that he conspired with unnamed lawyers to affect the election.
00:05:57.000 You're allowed to challenge elections.
00:05:59.000 Indeed, the best way to challenge elections is to come up with a slate of alternate electors.
00:06:03.000 The government has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt that subjectively Donald Trump actually believed that he lost the election and acted contrary to that belief.
00:06:12.000 There is no smoking gun.
00:06:14.000 There is no one who is credibly prepared to testify that Donald Trump said to him, I know personally I lost the election.
00:06:21.000 What they're doing with the indictment is they're taking things where Trump said, like, you're crazy to someone as if to imply that means he really knew that he did lose the election.
00:06:31.000 But more importantly, I'm not so sure how much any of this procedural stuff matters.
00:06:35.000 What the Democrats have been doing is effectively just an onslaught of whatever they can keep firing off at Donald Trump.
00:06:43.000 And it's probably going to be some kind of death by a thousand cuts.
00:06:47.000 Yeah, it's impossible not to factor in the timing here, right?
00:06:49.000 Like, you've had these investigations going, what, since the day he was elected?
00:06:53.000 Like, he has been so intensely investigated for the last effectively eight years, and now all of a sudden, on the eve of an election, they are ready to prosecute.
00:07:03.000 They have all of these ideas.
00:07:04.000 And in fact, they aren't just going to try it in one court, they're going to try it three different times.
00:07:08.000 I mean, it's sort of bizarre.
00:07:10.000 Mike Pence said yesterday, you know, I'm going to wait to review everything, but this is just a distraction from the real issues.
00:07:17.000 He threw Trump under the bus.
00:07:18.000 He threw him under the bus, and he's not even, last I checked, he didn't even qualify for the debates, right?
00:07:23.000 Like, I think this shows you How intensely influential the Trump campaign is that they are timing federal investigations to try and throw off his campaign.
00:07:35.000 I mean, this is one of the things that comes up.
00:07:36.000 When are they going to have these trials, right?
00:07:38.000 Will it keep him from basically campaigning and being with people?
00:07:42.000 And instead, it'll be in the headlines where, you know, they're going to restrict media access to the court.
00:07:46.000 There's going to be all these issues just to try to slow him down and nothing is working.
00:07:50.000 Yeah, it's like the same old tired trope.
00:07:52.000 They tried this with Russia, and it kind of bogged them down over and over again, and now they're continuing to do it.
00:07:56.000 I just, I don't know at what point will they pull a different play of their playbook.
00:07:59.000 I'm a little concerned.
00:08:00.000 He is straddling the line, like, kind of JFK-ish.
00:08:02.000 Like, at what point does he hop over the line to where the, you know, the deep state does something?
00:08:07.000 I don't know, and what are they going to do?
00:08:09.000 I don't know.
00:08:10.000 It's always a possibility for any president for a variety of reasons, but I don't think that's the route they go I think what's more likely to happen it well for one They tried the rape thing in New York where they're like he's been convicted by or not convicted He's been found liable or something for some 30 year old nonsense story I just want to stress how ridiculous and insane the story was and if you believe it you're a well if you claim to believe it You're either lying or really dumb that Trump went into the what was the department store like this murder of good Goodman, right?
00:08:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, this massive department store.
00:08:40.000 And for some reason, nobody was anywhere.
00:08:42.000 They walked in and everyone just vanished.
00:08:44.000 They must have been raptured because they were gone.
00:08:47.000 And then they went into a dressing room where, for some reason, the doors were unlocked.
00:08:52.000 And then they went inside, did the deed, and left.
00:08:54.000 And no one noticed.
00:08:55.000 No one noticed.
00:08:56.000 No one noticed the king of New York, the most Famous guy in the city, nobody noticed him walk into this massive shopping center.
00:09:03.000 It's an insane story.
00:09:04.000 But they've tried that.
00:09:06.000 I bring that up because this is what they did to Julian Assange.
00:09:09.000 They made this ridiculous fake story about first it was like a condom broke and then molestation.
00:09:15.000 Then the media reports it as rape, which is all a lie.
00:09:18.000 Then they throw it all out and say, yeah, that's nonsense.
00:09:21.000 We don't care about that anymore.
00:09:22.000 Now they're going after him for espionage, which is also nonsense.
00:09:25.000 But Hillary Clinton was famously quoted as saying, can't we just drone this guy?
00:09:29.000 And then they were like, yeah, he's in London.
00:09:32.000 So no, we can't.
00:09:33.000 But this is typically what they try to do to people outside of Western nations.
00:09:37.000 Inside, they've changed strategies.
00:09:39.000 They don't make a martyr of these people.
00:09:41.000 So what do they do?
00:09:42.000 They accused Julian Assange of being a rapist so that it sounds really, really awful historically and in the press.
00:09:47.000 They try that with Trump, but it seems to just bounce off because nobody cares and nobody believes it anymore.
00:09:53.000 People have already picked their sides, right?
00:09:56.000 You're not going to convince anybody that hates him that much that he's a good guy, and you're not going to convince the most entrenched of his fans that he's suddenly a bad guy.
00:10:05.000 Even many of his fans don't see him as that good of a guy.
00:10:08.000 They have more of a realistic view of him.
00:10:12.000 He's a sword.
00:10:13.000 What did Michael Moore say?
00:10:15.000 A human Molotov cocktail.
00:10:17.000 So when they come out and they throw all this garbage at Trump to stick to him, and they're like, see, look how bad he is, they're like, oh, you're sweetening the pot.
00:10:23.000 And I think it's hard to contrast Trump, who hypothetically did something after we demanded he turned over all of these documents, he's been under federal scrutiny for years, with the actual reality of the Biden administration, right?
00:10:37.000 Like, when you are comparing two things, the effects of inflation on your family and a hypothetical goose chase, which actually is the federal government wasting taxpayer funds, I feel like I'm going to be more mad at the federal government overall.
00:10:51.000 It's not helping whatever cause they think they have.
00:10:53.000 So the question is, are they indicting Trump to interfere in the election, to distract from the Joe Biden corruption allegations, or could it be that the U.S.
00:11:04.000 credit rating was just downgraded from AAA to AA+, And we've had, I think, the highest number of bankruptcies in the first two quarters this year since the past 13 years.
00:11:17.000 So something is going wrong economically.
00:11:20.000 Inflation is through the roof.
00:11:21.000 I mean, just go to the grocery store, buy groceries, and it's nuts.
00:11:25.000 There was a viral TikTok where it was like this couple, and they were like, it said buying groceries in 2011, and they're like dancing, and they have this big table, and it's like $100.
00:11:33.000 And then it was like buying groceries today, and they're standing there, and there's like five things, and it's the same price.
00:11:37.000 So yeah.
00:11:38.000 When working class and middle Americans are right now watching the news and someone on CNN comes out and says, Donald Trump had classified documents.
00:11:47.000 They're like, I'm just trying to buy some beef for my family, dude.
00:11:50.000 Like, I don't know.
00:11:51.000 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:11:52.000 Yeah.
00:11:52.000 Meanwhile, 561 years.
00:11:54.000 It's giving very Alex Jones.
00:11:57.000 It's giving Alex Jones.
00:11:59.000 What does he owe now?
00:12:00.000 Like two billion dollars?
00:12:01.000 No, wasn't it trillions?
00:12:02.000 It's like a trillion dollars.
00:12:04.000 Like he's just going to be.
00:12:05.000 It was the GDP of France, wasn't it?
00:12:07.000 He owns an entire European nation.
00:12:10.000 It's like they just throw the book at them because they hate them.
00:12:13.000 They understand that the people that already hate them are going to continue to hate them.
00:12:16.000 They're like, oh good, even though they understand that he's just going to file bankruptcy and whatever's going to happen is going to happen.
00:12:21.000 My thing is like all of this seems like a politically charged goose chase when there are like actual child predators or, you know, murderers out there who get less time.
00:12:31.000 It was 2.75 Brilliant!
00:12:35.000 That's the GDP of France.
00:12:38.000 Alex Jones must pay us the GDP of France.
00:12:41.000 He's like, yep, I'm on.
00:12:42.000 It would be funny if, like, everybody in France loved Alex Jones to the point where they were buying from him, and he did make that much money and we just didn't know about it.
00:12:49.000 They just asked for his Venmo.
00:12:51.000 They're like, can you Venmo us the money?
00:12:53.000 We've got you, don't worry.
00:12:54.000 But also, like, I mean...
00:12:56.000 There's J6 people, like, they're gonna rush this trial to make sure that it happens, like, right before the election.
00:13:01.000 Meanwhile, J6 people, no trial, no nothing.
00:13:04.000 It's very, like, if you pay close enough attention to what's going on in the world, you understand just how unfair all of it is, but the average person isn't paying that close attention.
00:13:12.000 That's what I found weird about Pence's comments, because he released this statement, like, right after the indictment came out, being like, it means more talk about January 6th and other distractions, and you want to be like, we should talk about January 6th, we should talk about January 6th all the time, because there are people who were persecuted in a way that no one else has been, and we just let them fall to, like, you shouldn't let them just fall to the wayside, like, that's the best thing about the Trump, uh, Trump situation, in my opinion, which is that we, like, continue to talk about the miscarriage of justice at the federal level.
00:13:40.000 Wasn't it, like, Literally the day before January 6th, Mike Pence said, we're going to have Congress go through this and we're going to hear the evidence.
00:13:49.000 And the next day he's like, yeah, nah, I'm not going to do that.
00:13:52.000 I'm willing to bet that like that night he's in bed with his wife and there's like a knock on the door and he's like, well, who's going to wake up at two in the morning?
00:13:59.000 And then he comes to the door and there's a guy in a suit with like black sunglasses.
00:14:03.000 And then the guy in Mike's is like, what's going on?
00:14:05.000 And then he just hands a picture of JFK.
00:14:06.000 And then Mike's like, Okay.
00:14:10.000 I really just feel like it was just politically expedient from that time.
00:14:12.000 I don't think anyone needed to say anything.
00:14:14.000 He knew that his role as the vice president at that time was to kind of tacitly be in this in-between spot.
00:14:19.000 It was very clear to, and that's why there was so much rage from the Trump base against Pence, is because they kind of knew he was talking out of both sides of his mouth and he didn't really mean all this.
00:14:27.000 Like, him saying that, oh, we'll look into this, what does that even mean?
00:14:30.000 We'll look into it?
00:14:30.000 Okay, cool.
00:14:31.000 Like, that doesn't mean much of anything.
00:14:32.000 This is a big component, too, of the suit now, because it's being reported the... What's the guy's name?
00:14:38.000 Smith?
00:14:38.000 What's his name?
00:14:39.000 Jake Smith?
00:14:40.000 Is it Jack Smith?
00:14:41.000 The special counsel?
00:14:42.000 The special prosecutor, whatever.
00:14:43.000 That he claimed that Pence did not have the authority to reject electoral votes, which is wrong.
00:14:51.000 He absolutely did.
00:14:53.000 Until 2022, apparently there was some revision to the law.
00:14:56.000 But Democrats famously brought together an alternate slate of electors from Hawaii in 1960.
00:15:02.000 Despite the fact that the state was won by the Republicans, the governor certified the Republican electors, Democrats still convened a fraudulent slate of electors.
00:15:12.000 I say fraudulent, good sir!
00:15:14.000 Well, hold on.
00:15:15.000 How does the Vice President have the authority to do that back in 1960?
00:15:17.000 And Nixon chose to ignore his vice president.
00:15:20.000 He ignored the certified electoral votes and said, I'm going to count the Democrat uncertified
00:15:27.000 votes anyway.
00:15:28.000 Well, hold on.
00:15:29.000 How does the vice president have the authority to do that back in 1960 and then lose it?
00:15:33.000 Well, I suppose Congress could change things, but that's not what happened.
00:15:36.000 Mike Pence did have this authority.
00:15:38.000 Trump's lawyers were advising him, not perfectly, but he had some sound policy and procedure advice.
00:15:46.000 And then Mike Pence was just like, eh, screw it.
00:15:49.000 I'm out.
00:15:50.000 It seems crazy to me.
00:15:50.000 Also, you know, like I said before, I don't think he, last I checked, he had not qualified for the debates, which debates are questionable anyways.
00:15:59.000 The strangest thing about this is he has to walk this weird line that's like, Well I was part of the Trump administration and that's literally why all of you know who I am except also I don't really want to be affiliated with the bad stuff or the more controversial stuff so I'm going to sort of be the most politician politician of all times and try to make everyone happy in which I will fail.
00:16:21.000 The crazy thing is that Mike Pence threw Trump under the bus tweeting that this, basically saying this man should not be allowed to be president or whatever.
00:16:28.000 It's the inversion of Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:16:32.000 When Vivek came out and said we should all come together and reject these political indictments and these charges.
00:16:37.000 They're trying to remove Trump, you know, in an unjust way.
00:16:40.000 That's really amazing.
00:16:41.000 So when you say that Mike Pence doesn't qualify for the debates, it's not a very difficult question as to why.
00:16:47.000 Well, it's because he hasn't got enough donors.
00:16:48.000 That's like literally what I'm referring to.
00:16:49.000 Yeah, nobody wants to give money to a guy who sucks.
00:16:51.000 Yeah, but that's so interesting, right?
00:16:54.000 Because theoretically, at one point, he thought he was the heir apparent.
00:16:57.000 Like, if Trump got two terms, he would be the next obvious candidate to win.
00:17:00.000 And like, he made such a catastrophic miscalculation, and then continued to be like, I think I can do it.
00:17:06.000 I think I could win.
00:17:07.000 I think the landscape has changed so much.
00:17:08.000 I said a minute ago that what Mike Pence was doing was politically expedient, but that was kind of wrong.
00:17:12.000 It was traditionally politically expedient.
00:17:14.000 Right.
00:17:15.000 And they're still in that mindset.
00:17:16.000 What is now becoming the type of rhetoric that is becoming actually politically expedient is things like what Vivek is saying, like actually owning it and having bold messaging and having a legit message.
00:17:27.000 I mean, I am a little bit concerned about some of his messaging from the past, but I don't know.
00:17:31.000 I'm open to see maybe just change his mind.
00:17:33.000 But I mean, either way, that is the rhetoric people want.
00:17:35.000 Let me pull this up from Predict It.
00:17:37.000 This is the latest prediction numbers.
00:17:39.000 Vivek Ramaswamy tied in second place with Ron DeSantis.
00:17:43.000 And, you know, I think he might overtake Ron DeSantis for second place very, very soon.
00:17:51.000 When Donald Trump gets indicted, Vivek comes out with a very, very strong and it seemed unscripted message about how this is wrong.
00:17:59.000 Whether or not you trust Vivek, he's rolling 20s.
00:18:03.000 He is hitting all of his marks.
00:18:05.000 He's responding authentically and properly.
00:18:06.000 He's answering the questions.
00:18:08.000 When people criticize him, he tackles them head-on.
00:18:11.000 Now he is rising in the prediction market.
00:18:12.000 So I suppose we shall see at what point he hits second place.
00:18:17.000 But I'm already seeing a ton of Trump supporters saying that if for some reason Trump was completely incapable of running, Vivek would be their guy.
00:18:26.000 It's definitely interesting.
00:18:27.000 He sent out a couple fundraising emails this week saying, I am on track to overtake Ron DeSantis.
00:18:33.000 And when he was here the other week, he was saying, look, we were hoping to reach about a 10% in the polling by the end of the year.
00:18:39.000 We are much farther ahead of that.
00:18:41.000 His campaign really has had a lot of inertia behind it.
00:18:45.000 What do you guys think?
00:18:45.000 What do you think?
00:18:47.000 I don't know.
00:18:47.000 I think Vivek will take him over.
00:18:48.000 I think Ron is plummeting, and I'm kind of heartened by it, because I heard you guys on the show the other day saying Vivek's kind of like a right-wing Obama, and it's funny, my buddy Reid Coverdale actually said the same thing about Ron at one point, where he was kind of following a similar kind of thing, but it's almost like the people kind of saw it, because I'm of the opinion that, I mean, maybe Ron would be great when he got in, but I'm sensing neocon vibes, so it really feels like...
00:19:13.000 No, no, no, Ron.
00:19:13.000 So I'm saying like he kind of was the right-wing Obama, but now it's like it's kind of that idea where it's like traditionally political expedient or modern political expedient.
00:19:21.000 Now it's like Vivek could be that right-wing Obama to where it's like, I don't know, maybe he will swap when he gets in.
00:19:26.000 I don't know.
00:19:26.000 Maybe he'll stay true to be genuine.
00:19:27.000 He is genuine.
00:19:28.000 I'm unsure, but he seems pretty genuine from everywhere at the time I've seen him talk.
00:19:33.000 But point being is it's just I'm heartened by the idea that people kind of lost faith in the Ron thing.
00:19:39.000 To be clear, I love him as a Florida governor.
00:19:41.000 I think he's great.
00:19:41.000 But now when you get the reins of federal power, that's a different story.
00:19:44.000 Now you're controlling foreign policy.
00:19:46.000 Vivek, he's going on every show and just saying, ask me.
00:19:49.000 And it's just raw, unfiltered, and authentic.
00:19:52.000 It's masterfully done.
00:19:53.000 Whether you like him or trust him or not, if he is being duplicitous and political and trying to earn votes... He's good at it.
00:20:02.000 Yeah.
00:20:02.000 He's the best I've ever seen.
00:20:03.000 That's the scariest part, right?
00:20:05.000 That's the ones you have to worry about, is the ones who are really, really good at hiding it until the last moment, right?
00:20:12.000 And he has done a very good job about that because I think anyone who has even base level political knowledge sees him and sees some type of comparison.
00:20:19.000 to Barack Obama. But I would also maybe posit that people who are now paying attention to
00:20:25.000 politics, especially people who lean right, are far more informed on these issues. So if he's
00:20:30.000 going to fool them, it will be a lot harder to fool them than to fool a political novice in 2008.
00:20:37.000 He can't just put up a hope poster and call it a day.
00:20:39.000 You know, a hope and change poster and call it a day.
00:20:42.000 You know, Viking Vet told us, he superchatted saying, pull up the predicted graph and you can
00:20:47.000 You can actually see Vivek has already surpassed Asantos on one occasion.
00:20:51.000 I think if we, let's go back 30 days, we can see that, yeah, there is a period where Vivek and DeSantis had tied and then on the 28th, Vivek actually surpassed DeSantis by two cents and held that lead for, I believe, two days.
00:21:08.000 So they tied and now it's going back up.
00:21:10.000 So he's already gotten it.
00:21:12.000 I think, uh, I think the story of Vivek is that he was very much apolitical, he was kind of just like somewhat political, and then the story he told us was that when the BLM riots happened, people came to him and said, change your company's profile picture to the black square, and he was like, oh, sure, whatever, and he does.
00:21:34.000 And they come to him and they're like, now write a letter about why what happened was bad.
00:21:38.000 And he was like, sure, I guess.
00:21:40.000 And then he writes like, hey, the rioting is really bad.
00:21:42.000 It's unfortunate what happened.
00:21:43.000 I hope this country can come together and heal.
00:21:45.000 And they were like, no, no, no, you're supposed to be why we're right and support us.
00:21:49.000 And he was like, okay, now you're pissing me off.
00:21:51.000 Like I wrote something.
00:21:53.000 Then he started getting board members from his company resigning.
00:21:56.000 It seems like Vivek was this Successful, what is he, worth half a billion dollars, running a pharmaceutical company, minding his own business, probably very pleased with himself at 37, and then woke activists started attacking him.
00:22:13.000 And look, it's one thing if you're like an indie game developer, or a small YouTuber, or a random guy who works at a steel mill, and they're coming to cancel you.
00:22:20.000 It's another thing if you're the guy who founded a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical, and you're worth half a billion dollars, and they come at you and try to cancel you.
00:22:27.000 And then, I'm just imagining him sitting there, like, clenching his fist, being like, I will destroy you.
00:22:33.000 And now this is the story he told that like, after seeing that he realized how dangerous this stuff was.
00:22:38.000 He wrote the book, I think, woke capital.
00:22:40.000 He started talking about ESG being a problem.
00:22:42.000 He created a, what is it a mutual fund?
00:22:45.000 He created a fund.
00:22:46.000 I'm not a finance guy.
00:22:48.000 Specifically to reject what's going on with ESG and all that.
00:22:52.000 And then he's like, I'm gonna run for president.
00:22:54.000 So this dude's just, he's doing an amazing job.
00:22:58.000 He's nailing it.
00:22:59.000 I'm a big fan.
00:22:59.000 It seems to be fitting in more like, with the well-informed voters
00:23:03.000 who would naturally vote Trump.
00:23:05.000 You would have thought they would have gone towards Ron because he was such a culture war issue type guy.
00:23:09.000 But those issues, whether we're talking about financing from companies like BlackRock or Vanguard, pushing back against that type of ESG based capitalism is going to be strong for him because the people who would vote for Trump if he was out of the election are going to care about that stuff.
00:23:25.000 And Ron can't seem to land much of it.
00:23:28.000 We did a clip the other day where he's like, Yeah.
00:23:30.000 at like some meet and greet with people and he just laughs really awkwardly and walks away.
00:23:34.000 And it's just like, he can't win.
00:23:35.000 Like he, like the clip is bad.
00:23:37.000 It's not even his fault in this case, right?
00:23:39.000 But somebody poised it and it just seems awkward and the dude can't catch a break.
00:23:42.000 Honestly, I found it endearing personally.
00:23:44.000 Cause I'm like, oh, that's me.
00:23:45.000 Yeah.
00:23:46.000 But like right now he's in, like, he's facing people who are very much antagonistic, right?
00:23:51.000 So that's not going to be shown in a way that's endearing to people.
00:23:55.000 Certain people might see it that way.
00:23:56.000 Like you said, you identified with it.
00:23:59.000 I would be that way at the party too.
00:24:01.000 But in general, that's not something you want in the leader of your military, right?
00:24:05.000 I think what's cool about Vivek's messaging is that it's more than just...
00:24:10.000 You know, Rwanda has done a lot of really interesting things culture war wise, especially when it comes to gender ideology.
00:24:15.000 One of the things I like about Vivek's campaign is that it's much more about the renewal of like civic engagement and about patriotism and about values that bring us together.
00:24:24.000 And I think as much as like the more divisive aspects of the culture war are definitely worth fighting, it is nice to also say like, here is actually what we want instead of just saying, well, we don't want these things.
00:24:34.000 What do we want?
00:24:35.000 And I think that's cool.
00:24:35.000 There are definitely stuff about like Vivek's campaign that I don't personally agree with.
00:24:39.000 I think there should be more restriction on legal immigration.
00:24:41.000 He doesn't.
00:24:42.000 But I am grateful that he's on the scene because he's provoking a lot of really interesting conversation.
00:24:47.000 I would describe Donald Trump's campaign in a single word, revenge.
00:24:53.000 I don't see a lot more.
00:24:54.000 I mean, he's fundraising.
00:24:56.000 They're coming after me.
00:24:57.000 They want to destroy me and strike fear.
00:24:58.000 And I'm fighting for you.
00:24:59.000 And I see all of this and I'm like, Trump wants to go in there and get revenge.
00:25:03.000 I like it.
00:25:05.000 Someone's got to go in and have a beef to just start firing the bureaucrats.
00:25:10.000 And that's a great first step towards fixing the problems in government.
00:25:14.000 Not all of them.
00:25:15.000 You know, government itself is a problem in many ways.
00:25:17.000 And then you have Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:25:19.000 And I look at him, and if I were to describe his campaign, it's like you said, civic engagement.
00:25:24.000 He's talked about civics tests for voting.
00:25:26.000 He's talking about American values and things like this.
00:25:31.000 And he's nailing it.
00:25:33.000 My question for you guys, I guess, is how would you describe Ron DeSantis' campaign?
00:25:36.000 Like, his policies, what he's pushing, what he stands for, what represents, like, what does he represent?
00:25:43.000 He's just not picking something.
00:25:44.000 He's trying to be this, essentially, a Vivec, in a sense, or like some sort of Vivec, you know, Trump matchup, but he's not really...
00:25:52.000 Well, I just mean the vibe.
00:25:54.000 But he's not really committing.
00:25:55.000 He's also still kind of like, sort of, like being like, oh, to what, like elite talking points, kind of like alluding, but I might still be for that.
00:26:02.000 Like, it's like, there's so many things, like I know when he was waffling, I think on the Ukraine stuff a while, but he was talking about it.
00:26:07.000 How is it hard though?
00:26:08.000 like can you really just not say no like just we're done like and none of this
00:26:12.000 like oh we need to have a presence here and like just none of this like
00:26:15.000 politician talk people are over it they want you to be solid about what you want
00:26:19.000 and like take a strong stance I think he has this pull between his like Ron with
00:26:24.000 his base and his donors I think that is kind of what the issue is so he's like
00:26:28.000 where do I go it's like you got to pick one or the other I mean preferably the
00:26:32.000 base how is it hard though I mean what single voter actually is is voting for
00:26:39.000 more money being sent to Ukraine Maybe like Ukrainian Americans?
00:26:44.000 The donors.
00:26:45.000 Somebody who has a connection to Ukraine.
00:26:47.000 The thing is, I felt like...
00:26:50.000 Ron DeSantis was the strongest when he was just Ron DeSantis in Florida, thinking about Florida, doing what he could for Florida.
00:26:55.000 And he didn't have what I assume he now has, which is this kind of what you're talking about, like a donor class that's come in and say, OK, this is what we think will translate best to the national level.
00:27:05.000 And in that way, he's lost his sense of self, which, like you're saying, when you have strong contenders who have these personalities, their campaigns have a rhythm.
00:27:12.000 They have sort of found their niche in terms of the interview circuit.
00:27:17.000 It's unfortunate, man.
00:27:19.000 than sort of where Rhonda Stantz is right now.
00:27:20.000 And again, that's not to say that he doesn't ever have any interesting talking points or anything like that,
00:27:24.000 but you start to feel like he is not catching the rhythm that he needs to sustain his second place standing.
00:27:32.000 That's unfortunate, man.
00:27:34.000 I feel let down.
00:27:36.000 Yeah, that video you guys have been talking about a lot recently, I think was a perfect example.
00:27:40.000 Where, like, they're trying to sort of- Which, which one?
00:27:42.000 The, the one with the Ukraine Stal- no, the Stalin- Sonnenrad?
00:27:45.000 Whatever the heck it's called, yeah.
00:27:46.000 The Nazi symbol.
00:27:47.000 Yeah, which, personally, I thought was awesome, but, like, obviously- The Nazi symbol?
00:27:50.000 No, not the- I don't think the Nazi symbol- The video.
00:27:52.000 The whole vibe of the video.
00:27:53.000 It was like- How do you accidentally put a spinning black sun behind your candidate with, with soldiers marching towards it?
00:28:00.000 That's not an accident.
00:28:00.000 Yeah, and if you're gonna do it- That dude knew what he was doing.
00:28:02.000 If you're gonna do it, you need to own it.
00:28:03.000 You probably shouldn't do it.
00:28:04.000 But if you're gonna do it, you shouldn't- How do you own it?
00:28:07.000 Just be like, hey, it was a cool symbol.
00:28:09.000 It's stupid trying to own it, but trying to do this in-between thing where, like, our people put it out and we're trying to have this plausible deniability is just silly.
00:28:16.000 Either do it or don't.
00:28:16.000 He could have said, I don't know, I saw it from the Ukraine fighters.
00:28:20.000 So that's what it was all about.
00:28:21.000 Solidarity.
00:28:22.000 Let's, uh, you know, Ian's gonna be really upset he's not here tonight because we have this story from Politico.
00:28:28.000 Vivek Ramaswamy, quote, I don't believe the 9-11 commission report.
00:28:32.000 The GOP candidate went on to insist he was expressing doubts about the Saudi government's explanation for the attacks.
00:28:37.000 Let me just say, first and foremost, you want to talk about honesty in a political candidate?
00:28:42.000 Have them come out and say they don't trust the 9-11 commission report?
00:28:47.000 And I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is being honest.
00:28:51.000 I mean, This, in any traditional sense, any traditional political consultant would be like, what did you just do?
00:28:58.000 You nuked your campaign.
00:28:59.000 But Vivek is telling you actually what he thinks.
00:29:02.000 And he's completely correct.
00:29:03.000 Let me read this.
00:29:05.000 Politico reports, Vivek Ramaswamy cast doubt on the veracity of the government's explanation for the 9-11 attacks, saying he didn't believe the findings of the 9-11 commission.
00:29:14.000 He said, quote, I don't believe the government has told us the truth.
00:29:16.000 I'm driven by evidence and data.
00:29:18.000 What I've seen in the last several years is we have to be skeptical of what the government does tell us.
00:29:23.000 I haven't seen evidence to the contrary, but do I believe everything the government told us about it?
00:29:27.000 Absolutely not.
00:29:28.000 Do I believe the 9-11 Commission?
00:29:30.000 Absolutely not.
00:29:32.000 I am tremendously impressed from this.
00:29:35.000 They're trying to now claim he's like a 9-11 truther, or it's like the underlying argument.
00:29:39.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:29:40.000 That's total BS.
00:29:42.000 If you believe everything the government tells you, you haven't read a history book, not a single one.
00:29:48.000 And I got a bridge to sell you.
00:29:50.000 All he's saying is something simple, and I've said something similar.
00:29:53.000 Why would any reasonable person think the government issued a book explaining one of the greatest security failures in the history of this country?
00:30:03.000 They wouldn't!
00:30:04.000 They would put out something which is somewhat true, but probably has a bunch of gaps in it, because they don't want to reveal secrets as to how we got attacked, because we don't want it to happen again.
00:30:15.000 Vivek is correct.
00:30:16.000 You know, there's some comedian who has a bit that's like, you don't need to believe in all conspiracy theories, but you don't believe in any?
00:30:22.000 You think the government's just out here batting a thousand?
00:30:25.000 When he talks about parenting and lying to his own kid, it's great.
00:30:28.000 I wish I could remember his name.
00:30:28.000 Oh, that's a good one, yeah.
00:30:31.000 We're like one Biden mishap away from finding out that aliens did 9-11 anyways.
00:30:35.000 But the thing is, and I know this was the talk more of last week, but like, everyone would be like, okay.
00:30:39.000 I mean, I guess so.
00:30:41.000 I think what's interesting, I feel like I have to point this out, is like, Vivek is is establishing the narrative.
00:30:46.000 Like, I don't know the context in which this came up.
00:30:48.000 He was being interviewed and someone asked him explicitly, do you believe in this?
00:30:50.000 Or if he just brought it up on his own in his own interview, which I wouldn't put past him.
00:30:54.000 I think it's interesting that so often, especially on the campaign trail, you get these guys who are like, something's happening at the border wall and I'm going to comment on it.
00:31:02.000 Oh, something happened over here and I'll comment on it.
00:31:04.000 Whereas Vivek is like, I want to talk about this now.
00:31:06.000 I'm going to give you my opinion.
00:31:07.000 Like, that's like a, that's a very bold choice.
00:31:09.000 How does it even come up that they're like, do you believe 9-11?
00:31:11.000 He's like, no.
00:31:13.000 If he had been on this show, like, it would have been any one of you guys to be like, so let me ask you a question here.
00:31:18.000 Oh, right, for sure.
00:31:18.000 Yeah, Ian.
00:31:20.000 It didn't happen on our show, so I feel like I don't understand the context.
00:31:24.000 I just want to play a quick snippet from The Whitest Kids You Know.
00:31:27.000 This is a 14-year-old skit, and I want to play a little tiny bit of it.
00:31:35.000 Okay, thank you for waiting.
00:31:36.000 The President has asked me to come out and make a brief statement about the wire that just went out a couple minutes ago.
00:31:44.000 To make things short, I will just confirm that yes, we do have a moon base, and yes, we are currently experiencing some bear problems.
00:31:53.000 Now, I will open it up if there are any questions.
00:31:57.000 Mr. President!
00:32:21.000 Are you fucking with us?
00:32:23.000 No, we are not, and I would like to remind everyone to keep the language civilized.
00:32:27.000 This is the White House.
00:32:28.000 So he basically then goes on to say, he says stuff like, yes, well, the bear's been a bit of an ongoing problem since the wizards were attacking, and then they're like, wizards?!
00:32:37.000 And then, uh, let me, let me jump right, there's a picture of the bear on the moon.
00:32:41.000 Let me, let me jump to the end here and give you the punchline.
00:32:45.000 We believe they may be one of the, uh... Just a thought, more of a shot in the dark, but, uh...
00:32:51.000 We wouldn't happen to be invading Iran today, would we?
00:33:00.000 You got me.
00:33:01.000 I fell for it!
00:33:06.000 Yes.
00:33:07.000 Exactly.
00:33:07.000 Summed up perfectly 14 years ago by the whitest kids you know.
00:33:11.000 It's so great because we're experiencing it now.
00:33:12.000 We have this, we're like, oh my god, look at Vivek questioning the 9-11, the specific narrative that the government gave out.
00:33:19.000 He's questioning it in the slightest.
00:33:20.000 But guess what, guys?
00:33:21.000 Aliens.
00:33:23.000 Yup.
00:33:24.000 Like I said, the government's out here batting a thousand.
00:33:26.000 They just get it right every time.
00:33:28.000 I mean, that seems so ridiculous that they would be upset that he's questioning something.
00:33:33.000 Also, I feel like the implication from this article is like, he's denying 9-11.
00:33:39.000 Like, are you crazy?
00:33:40.000 That's not what's happening at all.
00:33:42.000 Wouldn't it be funny?
00:33:43.000 If there's like an alien spaceship in orbit around Earth and they beam Joe Biden up there and they're just like, what have you done?
00:33:52.000 Why are you revealing our presence?
00:33:54.000 And he's like, come on, man.
00:33:55.000 They're going to arrest me.
00:33:56.000 What am I supposed to do?
00:33:57.000 Got to do, got to throw him something to get him off my back.
00:33:59.000 Proving he's, like, the least loyal person on Earth or in outer space.
00:34:03.000 The UFO, though, thing is a rabbit hole that's crazy.
00:34:05.000 I've dug into it a tiny bit.
00:34:06.000 If you look into the past, there were legitimate fed-a-hops where they were creating disinformation within UFO research communities.
00:34:12.000 And the reasoning was, like, I know it sounds kooky, but it was because a lot of times they were actually sort of digging into, like, secret stuff they were doing.
00:34:19.000 And so then they'd take some UFO truth and be like, guess what, dude?
00:34:22.000 I'm in the government, and I have some special information for you.
00:34:26.000 Let me tell you about the Tyrerians from Saturn 25.
00:34:28.000 This stuff just goes wild.
00:34:33.000 For me, I've been digging into it a little bit throughout this, the whole UFO stuff.
00:34:38.000 You can't trust anything when it comes to the government and aliens.
00:34:40.000 Who knows?
00:34:40.000 Maybe they are real.
00:34:42.000 Personally, I completely default the opposite way.
00:34:45.000 And what would, like, what would the benefit be right now for them to reveal it?
00:34:48.000 Like, we've talked about, obviously, distraction from other stuff that's going on, but if the aliens are real, what does the government get from telling you?
00:34:55.000 I feel like I just don't understand that you'll listen to them because they've scared you with something else?
00:34:59.000 That was just when they planned to release that information.
00:35:02.000 It just so happens to always happen whenever some type of scandal is coming.
00:35:05.000 Non-human biologics have been recovered.
00:35:08.000 Now you must listen to us more.
00:35:10.000 Stop questioning us.
00:35:11.000 If you put your Psy-Op hat on, though, as ridiculous as it is, Alien's super easy to pull off.
00:35:16.000 You just have somebody come out, leak some information.
00:35:19.000 You don't actually have to have an event that really occurs.
00:35:21.000 You could have an event, but it's like, oh, you could make up an event that happened a decade ago.
00:35:25.000 They could just take 10,000 drones.
00:35:30.000 What's the Mavic drone?
00:35:33.000 They do those light shows.
00:35:34.000 And they can have a ship appear in the sky.
00:35:38.000 They can just fake it, you know?
00:35:40.000 And then be like, oh, what was that?
00:35:41.000 And they'll do it in a remote area, everyone will film, and they'll be like, ooh!
00:35:44.000 They'll be like, it was for your own good.
00:35:46.000 Nobody even cares at this point.
00:35:47.000 I wonder, you know, they've tried pushing the UFO thing so many times that nobody cares anymore at all, to the point where when they came out and said non-human biologics are recovered, everyone's like, shut up, dude.
00:35:59.000 Even the UFO truthers are like, nah, shut up.
00:36:01.000 Well, they're like, it's too expensive here.
00:36:04.000 These things are for when we have luxury and freedom and extra cash.
00:36:07.000 You have made it so we can't enjoy these crazy things because it's not fun to be here right now.
00:36:13.000 It is extremely challenging to live under these conditions.
00:36:15.000 Does anyone really believe?
00:36:17.000 That Donald Trump would have kept his mouth shut if there were aliens secretly in control of things.
00:36:22.000 And even at this point, with everything they're doing, he would just come out and be like, I'm gonna tell you all because they're trying to put me in jail!
00:36:29.000 Aliens are real!
00:36:29.000 And he'd just come out and say it, and then they'd be like, oh no, he's unveiling a secret.
00:36:33.000 But he won't, because it's not true.
00:36:35.000 They're just lying.
00:36:35.000 I mean, to be fair, they probably would never tell them about the aliens if there were aliens, but you're right, yeah.
00:36:41.000 Maybe that's the issue.
00:36:41.000 Have you guys seen that viral video where that old guy, I think he's like a former Canadian Prime Minister or something, saying that aliens are real or something like that?
00:36:49.000 And that they're telling us we have to reduce carbon and reduce the population.
00:36:54.000 It's climate change.
00:36:55.000 I didn't even know that.
00:36:56.000 Oh wow, exactly what the elites wanted.
00:36:58.000 Isn't that weird?
00:36:59.000 But that's exactly the point, right?
00:37:01.000 Exactly.
00:37:01.000 They want it because the aliens told them they have to.
00:37:04.000 Also, why would we listen to the aliens?
00:37:06.000 That seems crazy to me.
00:37:07.000 That was the plot of the Independence Day movie anyways, that the aliens were here to suck up our natural resources, but I guess if all the natural resources are gone...
00:37:16.000 Then it doesn't matter.
00:37:17.000 They'll just pass us by.
00:37:18.000 So if we get rid of our natural resources, we'll prevent alien invasion.
00:37:21.000 Exactly.
00:37:21.000 Keep burning coal, baby.
00:37:22.000 Exactly.
00:37:23.000 Yeah, what the heck?
00:37:24.000 This is the best idea of all time.
00:37:26.000 Fracking in America now.
00:37:27.000 It saves us intergalactically.
00:37:29.000 Yes.
00:37:29.000 Why should I care about the aliens?
00:37:30.000 Like, what is it, right?
00:37:33.000 Are they going to offer us immortality or something?
00:37:35.000 Or, like, interdimensional travel or whatnot?
00:37:38.000 Because, like, I gotta tell you.
00:37:40.000 Happiness is relative.
00:37:42.000 We all live our lives, we have our goals, we have our passions, we're living them.
00:37:46.000 When we reach the point of interstellar travel, I'm sure it'll become a passion project for many people.
00:37:50.000 Elon Musk certainly is very passionate about space travel.
00:37:55.000 But what do we need from aliens?
00:37:56.000 Like, serious question.
00:37:57.000 Has, like, when people had no refrigerators, they got by and they were happy.
00:38:02.000 And then there was, you know, there were problems and challenges.
00:38:04.000 But what is, what is it?
00:38:05.000 Is the aliens are gonna come to Earth and give us future technology and make us all immortal or make the elites immortal so they gotta do as they're told?
00:38:12.000 That's what I don't understand.
00:38:12.000 Like, are we supposed to be excited and wanting there to be aliens, or are we supposed to be afraid of them?
00:38:17.000 Because if we're supposed to fear them, then I understand why the government is like, yep, they're here, listen to us, the only people who know about them, because that's just asking for compliance.
00:38:25.000 And if it's like the aliens have something positive to offer us, I understand why the government would keep it a secret because they're, you know, the arbiter of all good things.
00:38:32.000 Like, I just don't understand where they fit into anything that's relevant to my life.
00:38:37.000 It's also a big letdown for all the hardline UFO conspiracy theorists who've been waiting for that confirmation for decades, right?
00:38:44.000 Because they've been waiting for that.
00:38:45.000 It's not as much fun.
00:38:46.000 There was an interview with Dean Haglund.
00:38:49.000 He was one of the actors on The X-Files where he talks about, he's like, the sad part about being a conspiracy theorist is at the end of the day, even if you're right, all you get to say is, I told you so.
00:38:57.000 They don't even get that now.
00:38:58.000 Now they're just stuck with, now they tell them that they're real.
00:39:00.000 They're like, first of all, I can't trust you whether they're real or not.
00:39:03.000 And it's kind of a letdown because gas is nine gazillion dollars a gallon and everything's expensive.
00:39:09.000 Yeah.
00:39:09.000 Yeah.
00:39:10.000 Conspiracies.
00:39:11.000 Also, I just feel like you're totally right, Tim.
00:39:13.000 If Trump knew about the aliens, I definitely think he would have told us, especially since he's the one who relaunched Space Command.
00:39:18.000 I feel like he would have been like, I have good evidence.
00:39:20.000 Oh, maybe that's why he did it.
00:39:21.000 Yeah.
00:39:22.000 Maybe that's it.
00:39:23.000 Okay, so then why would he want it to be in Alabama?
00:39:26.000 And why would Biden want it to be in Colorado?
00:39:28.000 Do the aliens like the South?
00:39:30.000 That's procedural bickering.
00:39:31.000 Or do they like water?
00:39:32.000 No, it's to fight the aliens.
00:39:34.000 But that's what I mean.
00:39:34.000 Did Trump say they're defeated by water?
00:39:36.000 You need to be closer to the Gulf of- Wait, wait, wait.
00:39:39.000 I figured it out.
00:39:40.000 I figured it out.
00:39:41.000 I know what's going on.
00:39:42.000 Check it out.
00:39:42.000 Check it out.
00:39:43.000 The aliens aren't here.
00:39:45.000 They were here and they're coming back.
00:39:48.000 And see, the Democrats, you know, and the World Economic Forum are like, we better get on our knees and do everything the aliens expect.
00:39:58.000 Otherwise, they're gonna be mad.
00:39:59.000 And Trump was like, no, we're gonna build weapons and fight back.
00:40:04.000 And they were like, are you mad?
00:40:05.000 They'll wipe us all out.
00:40:06.000 They're so advanced.
00:40:07.000 That's what's really it.
00:40:08.000 Return of the Lizard Overlords.
00:40:09.000 That's right.
00:40:10.000 So Earth is like the world's biggest Airbnb and they're just coming back and we've left it a mess and they're just
00:40:15.000 pissed about it.
00:40:15.000 Well, you know the conspiracy about like Planet Eris or whatever, right?
00:40:18.000 I don't think conspiracy is the right word for these things.
00:40:21.000 More like insane ideas, you know, or like fringe ideas.
00:40:26.000 Because like conspiracies, like people collude together to do a crime or whatever.
00:40:29.000 But like one of these online theories is that there's a planet that comes within our solar system every 2,500 years.
00:40:39.000 And so that, yeah, Nibiru, Planet X. What do you know about it, Serge?
00:40:43.000 And that it's coming back and the aliens who live on it, genetically engineered humans,
00:40:48.000 to be like a slave race or whatever, to mine gold and stuff like that.
00:40:52.000 It's a fun theory.
00:40:53.000 So when it comes back they just like scoop up some people?
00:40:55.000 No, no, they come here and they take all the gold.
00:40:58.000 And then they use the gold to maintain their atmosphere or something.
00:41:02.000 Isn't gold at an all-time high right now?
00:41:04.000 It's great.
00:41:05.000 It goes down so many rabbit holes.
00:41:06.000 That's where Nephalem, like you can connect it to Nephalem and all sorts of stuff.
00:41:09.000 It's a fun one.
00:41:12.000 Djinns and genies.
00:41:13.000 You guys are so creative.
00:41:13.000 I love the internet.
00:41:14.000 I recently had the QAnon Shaman on my show and we were legit talking about Nibiru and how it connects to Phelan.
00:41:20.000 It was a fun time.
00:41:21.000 It was wild, but it was something.
00:41:23.000 Yeah.
00:41:23.000 I feel like that's not bad then.
00:41:25.000 Like, we can just trade them gold.
00:41:26.000 I mean, I guess they, like, enslave us in this type- this theory?
00:41:29.000 I'm not sure.
00:41:29.000 As long as we keep the silver, I'm okay with it.
00:41:31.000 It would just be, you know, more fun if that stuff was true.
00:41:35.000 And I think people want that stuff to be true because the reality is life is mundane.
00:41:39.000 You know?
00:41:40.000 I tweeted this earlier, like, how is it- people always say like, how did it get so bad in insert country?
00:41:45.000 And it's like, it never really did.
00:41:47.000 And what I mean by that is, every day, something small happened that no one thought was a big deal.
00:41:53.000 And then finally, crazy stuff was going down that people thought was normal.
00:41:57.000 To the outside world, when they write the history book and condense it all, we're like, how did they go from this to this?
00:42:02.000 It's like, no one noticed.
00:42:03.000 But even now, people don't even notice.
00:42:05.000 Crazy stuff's happening now, and they just don't pay attention.
00:42:07.000 The algorithms they look at every day are pointing them in a different direction, so they're kind of oblivious to the fact that a lot of this craziness stuff is going on.
00:42:16.000 That's why I think Trump's trial is so confusing to so many people, because it seems like they're just going after him, and they keep asking him to turn over documents to come up with charges against him.
00:42:27.000 This actually happens all of the time.
00:42:29.000 It's just that we all know Trump, and we have this information.
00:42:32.000 So rather than for me to have to explain one person and their story and the unique things and get everyone to understand it, we can all say, oh yeah, I remember Trump.
00:42:39.000 Oh wow, this is happening.
00:42:40.000 It becomes much more relatable.
00:42:41.000 It's something that's gone on for a long time.
00:42:43.000 We just are suddenly realizing it.
00:42:45.000 Let's come back down to Earth.
00:42:47.000 We got this story from the Daily Mail.
00:42:48.000 This is big news.
00:42:49.000 Tucker Carlson interviewed Devin Archer.
00:42:50.000 This is surprising.
00:42:51.000 I can't believe he got him.
00:42:52.000 Devin Archer tells Tucker Carlson Joe knew he was on calls with Hunter's business partners.
00:42:57.000 Associate says Biden brand was absolutely key to business deals and reveals the thank you letter the then VP sent him.
00:43:06.000 So this is in the interview.
00:43:08.000 Let me play this clip for you real quick from Tucker's show.
00:43:11.000 Here you go.
00:43:12.000 These are not business guys.
00:43:13.000 This is the vice president of the United States.
00:43:15.000 He's not allowed to be working on businesses with foreign governments while he's vice president.
00:43:20.000 I don't think.
00:43:21.000 Not that I know of.
00:43:24.000 He is!
00:43:25.000 Right.
00:43:25.000 Amazing.
00:43:26.000 He knew what he was doing.
00:43:28.000 Devin Archer confirms Joe Biden knew what he was doing.
00:43:30.000 Joe Biden was using his son as a proxy so that he could run business deals while vice president.
00:43:35.000 And aside from Devin Archer's testimony to Congress, he's now on Tucker Carlson
00:43:39.000 with a thank you letter from the VP.
00:43:41.000 Biden said he never talked to any of Hunter's associates.
00:43:44.000 That's the stupidest lie imaginable.
00:43:47.000 He could have at least tried and said, like, of course I know Hunter's associates.
00:43:51.000 I don't work with them.
00:43:52.000 But how do I not know my son's doing business with?
00:43:55.000 He comes by for dinner.
00:43:56.000 Yeah, well, that's their business.
00:43:57.000 I'm in government.
00:43:58.000 They're doing business.
00:43:59.000 No, he said, I never talked to him at all.
00:44:01.000 And now the media is like trying to gaslight.
00:44:03.000 And what was that one article said?
00:44:05.000 It's long been known that Joe Biden was speaking with Hunter Biden's business associates.
00:44:09.000 Actually, not at all.
00:44:10.000 Yeah.
00:44:10.000 I mean, we found out recently, but here you go.
00:44:13.000 Meanwhile, Donald Trump is being indicted for, like, the 8 millionth time.
00:44:16.000 Yep.
00:44:17.000 And, uh, what is it, like, Mark Rubio sent a tweet out?
00:44:20.000 We got some strongly worded letters?
00:44:22.000 Yep.
00:44:23.000 Finally.
00:44:24.000 So, at the end of the day, all the law is is a cudgel.
00:44:26.000 And the way our legal system is, with so many laws, there's always something that you can get someone for.
00:44:31.000 And this is a perfect example of it.
00:44:33.000 You have Trump that's doing all these silly little things, and maybe, technically, by the letter of the law, there's some law somewhere that says they can't do X, Y, or Z, but then It's even worse, because then, like, maybe it's the worst thing that ever happened to the country, but at least Trump is a Russian spy, it's kinda cool.
00:44:49.000 All this stuff is just boring.
00:44:51.000 Yeah, you know, Trump being a Russian spy, you're imagining, you know, Trump's got like this weird gadget kit in his jacket and he like pulls out a little tiny earpiece and he's like, Vladimir, I'm in.
00:45:01.000 Played by Dolph Lundgren.
00:45:03.000 Sitting in the Oval Office.
00:45:03.000 We did it.
00:45:04.000 Yeah.
00:45:05.000 Go for Eagle Commander.
00:45:06.000 Dolph Lundgren can play him in the movie from Rocky IV.
00:45:10.000 He's all ripped.
00:45:12.000 Trump just super ripped and sitting at the Oval Office.
00:45:14.000 Well, just like the taxes.
00:45:16.000 That was like five scandals ago, and nobody remembers it, and nobody cares because, like you said, it's just a cudgel that they use to get, like Trump's taxes in particular.
00:45:26.000 It's just a cudgel that they use as a weapon against him because the law's used in an adversarial manner here.
00:45:33.000 I think it's because, like I said before, they're just trying to slow him down.
00:45:36.000 And I think that's why the media is so freaked out by the credibility of the allegations against Hunter and Joe.
00:45:44.000 The fact that this guy can produce a thank you letter is kind of hilarious when they're over here like, we spent millions of dollars on this investigation and we think maybe these things happened.
00:45:54.000 I think it was a text between Hunter Biden and Devin Archer, where Devin is like, why is your family destroying my life and trying to put me in prison?
00:46:02.000 Or it's like, why is your dad's administration and appointees trying to destroy my life?
00:46:06.000 And Hunter's like, this is the cost of a free country or something like that.
00:46:10.000 What it actually sounds like is you're no longer of use to these people and now they're disposing of the loose threads.
00:46:17.000 You got to clean up shop.
00:46:18.000 You don't want people to find out what was going on.
00:46:19.000 And Devin Archer, Tony Bobulinski, they've been able to come out and provide evidence into the criminal or shady dealings of the Biden family.
00:46:28.000 Do you think Joe ever looked at Devon Archer and was like, I wish I could trade you for Hunter, but people already know what Hunter looks like.
00:46:34.000 Because that's really the biggest loose end of the Biden family.
00:46:37.000 I mean, that guy is just leaving laptops everywhere and children in his wake.
00:46:42.000 You know what I mean?
00:46:43.000 Like, this seems like the biggest loose end, but there's nothing you can do about it.
00:46:47.000 So this is what the Biden family has created for themselves.
00:46:51.000 But most people are still, like I said, they still have their mind made up.
00:46:54.000 We covered a thing earlier today where Amber Heard, remember Amber Heard?
00:46:57.000 Oh yeah, she pooped on the bed.
00:46:59.000 But they had a thing where she lost a brand deal with L'Oreal and they showed all these letters from women who still to this day talk about her.
00:47:07.000 The greatest thing that ever happened to feminism, and she helped me realize how important it is.
00:47:11.000 If you, depending on where you get your information from, you just don't know, and you're just going to be tricked into believing that this is a good guy.
00:47:19.000 So the average person who doesn't pay attention to the news cycle doesn't hear any of this stuff that's going on with Joe.
00:47:24.000 There's the actual clip of him saying, I made this as a quid pro quo in Ukraine, and nobody knows about it.
00:47:31.000 Nobody cares, because the average person isn't paying attention, and that's who they've weaponized the dumbing down of America through corporate press.
00:47:39.000 Yeah, and it's a little bit like sports teams.
00:47:41.000 I think it's somewhat inverted.
00:47:43.000 I think people in this country have been stupid for a long time, I should say ignorant, because of mass media.
00:47:49.000 You only got information from a few sources, and now with the internet, we're becoming more educated and informed on what's happening around the world.
00:47:56.000 Targeted you're choosing where you're getting your media from you or I or everyone here may be
00:48:00.000 Privy to what looking at right and left-wing media the average person doesn't do that and we just follow didn't
00:48:06.000 have that 20 years exactly The average person just follows CNN because whether we
00:48:10.000 believe CNN or not They think that they're getting informed by somebody from
00:48:14.000 there or MSNBC, but it's even more targeted than it used to be
00:48:17.000 The point is that 20 years ago, CNN was your only choice.
00:48:21.000 Obviously there's Fox, CBS, ABC, but they all said the exact same things for the most part.
00:48:26.000 Now you have the ability to have dissident media.
00:48:29.000 I don't think the average, like, I just, I feel like the average person still doesn't look at that as a value.
00:48:34.000 No, of course.
00:48:34.000 What I'm saying is, we assume now that they're lying to us.
00:48:38.000 Like, no, they've always been lying to us.
00:48:40.000 We just have the ability to go online and communicate with each other.
00:48:43.000 I think part of it is politics are like sports teams.
00:48:45.000 Like, some people feel to their core that they are a capital R Republican, they are a capital D Democrat, and nothing you say will convince them that anyone on their team did anything wrong.
00:48:54.000 I mean, think about actual sports teams where we'll get players who commit very obvious
00:49:00.000 and well-documented cases of domestic violence, and the team is like, oh yeah, that was the
00:49:04.000 worst.
00:49:05.000 Anyways, he's going to sit out a couple games and then we'll bring it back.
00:49:08.000 People aren't saying, I'm now renouncing this team, which is supporting some terrible person
00:49:12.000 who doesn't live in the values that I support.
00:49:15.000 With Biden, it's very easy for people in the Democratic Party to say, well, I'm a Democrat.
00:49:21.000 I only want Democrats to win.
00:49:22.000 Right now, my options are Joe Biden and his crazy family or RFK Jr.
00:49:28.000 or Marianne Williamson, if she's still hanging out.
00:49:30.000 And that's it.
00:49:31.000 And so they're going to cling and defend Biden because they are trapped, right?
00:49:34.000 If you're back since well, you're going to stick with your team.
00:49:36.000 Same for Republicans.
00:49:36.000 There are Republicans who will say, you know, I am this kind of Republican and Trump can never be.
00:49:42.000 And I this is how the Republican Party should be like they become Completely obsessed with the team they think they have to show loyalty to, even when the team lets them down.
00:49:50.000 Kennedy-Williamson 2024.
00:49:51.000 Oh my gosh, what a crazy take.
00:49:53.000 Let's go!
00:49:54.000 I feel like those podcasts would be amazing.
00:49:56.000 You gotta think the demographic of people who actually vote is typically older too, and so you were mentioning the dissonant media point.
00:50:02.000 And it's like I do feel like we're almost experiencing like a rise in class consciousness, but like with this new
00:50:07.000 distant medias and stuff coming up, but Let's be real, typically the older generations aren't quite
00:50:12.000 buying onto it, so this is gonna be a lagging trend that takes a while to come into place
00:50:15.000 But, um, go ahead Oh, no go ahead
00:50:17.000 Uh, uh, uh How polite.
00:50:19.000 Keep going.
00:50:20.000 I'll moderate here.
00:50:21.000 I lost my train.
00:50:22.000 What were you gonna say?
00:50:22.000 I was waiting for your question.
00:50:23.000 No, but now, like, now I feel bad.
00:50:27.000 But the Democrats are the ones weaponizing influencers and the youth because they want to get the youth vote and they want to get people out in voting more than they were before, right?
00:50:35.000 Yeah, but they're L.O.L.
00:50:35.000 cows.
00:50:36.000 Like, let's be real, most of them.
00:50:38.000 Yeah, and I feel like Democrats for a long time have been like, no, no, it doesn't matter who you vote for.
00:50:42.000 We just want you to vote.
00:50:43.000 But specifically, here are the candidates you should vote for.
00:50:45.000 I mean, there are things that, you know, the Republican Party and a lot of other political parties that are out there could have done, meaning they could have treated the get out the vote effort like it was this, you know, Trojan horse, we're just trying to talk to young people when actually it was obviously Democrats trying to connect with youth voters.
00:51:02.000 I think that's, again, why the civic engagement conversation that Vivek Ramaswamy brings up is really interesting because I think people do, especially now that they have access to alternative forms of media online, feel called to do something, right?
00:51:16.000 If you get to hear all this awful stuff all the time, you can either collapse in depression or act.
00:51:21.000 And I think that's what people want and that's why, you know, the Democratic Party is still pointing fingers and they're becoming less appealing.
00:51:29.000 Yes.
00:51:30.000 Thank you.
00:51:31.000 Thank you for your consent.
00:51:34.000 Sometimes I feel like I come on the show and just like, talk to myself in the mirror for an hour, which is like, maybe not the best.
00:51:40.000 I don't know, man.
00:51:41.000 I'm just thinking about 2024 is around the corner.
00:51:45.000 And we are lucky right now to be... Here's what we're doing.
00:51:49.000 We're all sitting on the beach.
00:51:51.000 Miami Beach, in fancy chairs with coconuts, going, oh that Joe Biden, you hear about this?
00:51:57.000 And then off in the distance, there is the biggest hurricane we have ever seen, and it is coming.
00:52:03.000 Where we are right now is the chill time.
00:52:06.000 With all the craziness they're doing, with the Devon Archer stuff, with the indictments against Trump, that's just us seeing lightning off in the distance.
00:52:13.000 What's going to happen next year?
00:52:15.000 We're talking, I mean, dude, we're talking five or six months from now.
00:52:19.000 So we're looking at about, what, eight months?
00:52:22.000 No, not even seven months until the primary.
00:52:25.000 Trump's first criminal trial is going to be then?
00:52:28.000 It is going to be bonkers.
00:52:30.000 Could you imagine if it's not though?
00:52:32.000 Like, it's just nothing happens.
00:52:34.000 And we're sitting here and like, nobody cares about politics, nobody's watching anymore.
00:52:38.000 And they're just like, oh, we don't care anymore.
00:52:39.000 And they're just like, that's it.
00:52:40.000 Biden wins again.
00:52:41.000 There's no one really talks about it.
00:52:44.000 It is funny how, like, I feel like in the past, you used to be able to actually make
00:52:48.000 more accurate political predictions to some extent.
00:52:50.000 But now we've gotten to the point to where there are so many factors and so many crazy
00:52:55.000 Like, just Trump and Biden alone, between the two of them, the two scandals going on there, like, those are both insane scandals on their own, just, like, I mean, in different ways, obviously, but...
00:53:04.000 I don't know it's just it's like trying to predict the future or have an idea of what's going on like I was just thinking on talking on the airport to somebody today but and then the airplane today about like whether Biden will run and I'm like I have no idea like I mean it seems a silly idea to do so but same time we're getting so close do you really not I I don't know like how do you get another four years of this guy without actually making a clone I don't know I think there's a strong possibility that in Biden's old age and with his existing ailments, something happens to him.
00:53:36.000 And I imagine what would be for the Democrats, the most beneficial thing imaginable would
00:53:43.000 be if like Gavin Newsom is at a Biden rally and talking about how he's here to support
00:53:51.000 Joe Biden and Joe Biden's the greatest president.
00:53:54.000 And then Biden suffers like some health ailment or something.
00:53:57.000 He fell on stage that one time, maybe as a stroke.
00:53:59.000 Well, like you've tripped in the sandbags, but he's fallen upstairs.
00:54:03.000 But imagine this scenario where Biden is speaking at some kind of rally or whatever, or just on TV, maybe, because they can't really muster up anybody to come to a Biden rally.
00:54:10.000 Gavin Newsom is there.
00:54:11.000 I think it's likely going to be him.
00:54:13.000 And then Biden collapses.
00:54:14.000 Gavin runs to save him.
00:54:16.000 All on TV.
00:54:17.000 Get a medic in here!
00:54:19.000 And then there's this, oh the news, oh no, oh Joe Biden, cue all the conservatives being like, we don't like the guy but we're really sad about what happened to him.
00:54:27.000 Gavin Newsom steps up and starts talking about how, you know, this is a time for leadership.
00:54:32.000 He's being interviewed by everybody because he was there.
00:54:34.000 Every news outlet sits him down and says like, what was it like?
00:54:38.000 What do you think?
00:54:39.000 What now?
00:54:40.000 Who's gonna step up?
00:54:41.000 Will you?
00:54:43.000 And there you go.
00:54:43.000 Deep State's taking notes right now.
00:54:45.000 Newsome 2024.
00:54:46.000 They're like, these are great ideas.
00:54:47.000 No, they're not taking notes.
00:54:48.000 They're looking through their book going like, how did he get a copy of this?
00:54:51.000 He's halfway there.
00:54:53.000 But I'm imagining, because we're talking about if Donald Trump didn't order the police to shut down the 529 insurrection and let Antifa just run rampant, he'd be president.
00:55:03.000 Because the narrative would be inverted.
00:55:04.000 And you know, I, you know, Michael Mao's saying, ah, the media would still lie about him, but I'm like, yeah, but they wouldn't have the J6 narrative.
00:55:09.000 They would have the extremism of the far left and regular Americans would be asking why this happened.
00:55:14.000 Yeah.
00:55:14.000 I'm trying to think about, let's think forward in that context.
00:55:17.000 Like what could the Democrats do?
00:55:20.000 What could Trump do to guarantee a victory?
00:55:23.000 And obviously Joe Biden is not the guy.
00:55:25.000 Trump's already beating him in a whole bunch of polls.
00:55:27.000 He's at tying with or beating him.
00:55:30.000 And so everyone speculated that Joe Biden won't be the guy, but how do you get Joe Biden out?
00:55:34.000 If he bows out, it's weakness in the Democratic Party.
00:55:37.000 It's got to be something that can pass the torch.
00:55:40.000 If Joe Biden went on stage and said, you know, I'm just too old, so Gavin Newsom, ladies and gentlemen, nah, would never fly.
00:55:46.000 But if there's a hero moment for Gavin, where he steps in to try and save Biden, that gives him every PR opportunity in the book.
00:55:54.000 Yeah, especially because they don't want him to pick another white man over Kamala Harris.
00:55:59.000 Because there was a time when I think the Democratic Party really wanted her to be the obvious choice.
00:56:03.000 They were hoping Biden would be a one-term president and that she would, as the vice president, be the next one to represent the party because she's diverse and a lady and, you know, whatever else is important.
00:56:13.000 So they have to find a way to make it so that Gavin, you know, gracefully as a hero becomes the obvious one.
00:56:19.000 It's not that she's being overlooked, it's that he just happened to be in this, you know, What's the justification for Gavin being in the press 24-7 in the Lipton election?
00:56:28.000 Because he was there.
00:56:29.000 And they're going to say, Gavin, you are heroically on camera scene rushing to the aid of Joe.
00:56:37.000 What was that like?
00:56:38.000 What was going through your head?
00:56:39.000 He'll be like, his last words to me were, you gotta take the helm.
00:56:44.000 Something like that?
00:56:44.000 I don't even know if people would buy it anymore.
00:56:46.000 No, he's gonna say, he's gonna say, you know, tell Jill I love her, and take care of my kids.
00:56:52.000 And then Gavin's gonna start crying, and he's gonna be like, you got it man.
00:56:56.000 And he's gonna clench his hand, and then they're gonna be like, wow!
00:57:00.000 Gavin Newsome!
00:57:01.000 Take care of my six, I mean seven grandkids.
00:57:05.000 That statement made me crazy.
00:57:09.000 I know it was another show on Friday when that came out, but I was... The fact, the arrogance of these people to be like, we care about all of our grandchildren, including Navy, who we just happened to learn about 30 seconds ago.
00:57:22.000 Like, where have you been this whole time?
00:57:24.000 This is what I mean by like, how can anyone look at the Biden family and be like, four more years?
00:57:29.000 This is going so well.
00:57:30.000 I think the average person just doesn't know any of this.
00:57:33.000 I really do.
00:57:34.000 They don't know that his family life is this screwed up.
00:57:36.000 They don't even know about the diary.
00:57:37.000 They don't know about the laptop.
00:57:38.000 But that's why the Navy statement came out in People Magazine.
00:57:42.000 They didn't say it to the New York Times.
00:57:43.000 They said it to People Magazine because they're trying to present themselves as like a, let us get out in front of this.
00:57:48.000 Luckily, People Magazine, all kinds of outlets have already covered the fact that this, you know, super great guy, Hunter, just ditched his other kid and doesn't want to use last name.
00:57:57.000 Like, I just don't understand this family and their appeal.
00:58:01.000 So unless the Democrat, my only counter to the Gavin Newsom rushing to Joe Biden's aid story would be like, if the Democratic Party starts to turn tables and be like, We had no idea that he was working on these deals, and this is dishonor to us.
00:58:17.000 I don't know that they could execute it perfectly.
00:58:19.000 I don't think so.
00:58:21.000 It's collateral damage.
00:58:23.000 Then what he does is, Joe's finally going to sniff one kid too many, and Gavin heroically steps between them.
00:58:30.000 One of Gavin's kids!
00:58:31.000 And then Gavin says, not on my watch, and pushes him away.
00:58:34.000 I got it.
00:58:35.000 Joe, at an event, goes to sniff a kid, and Gavin heroically steps in between, making Joe accidentally sniff Gavin, triggering the stroke.
00:58:46.000 Interesting.
00:58:49.000 That's amazing.
00:58:49.000 That's the hero narrative they need from him.
00:58:51.000 Like, we didn't know Joe was doing any of this.
00:58:54.000 We need to comb through his schedule and see when he and Gavin Newsom are appearing on stage together, and we all need to brace ourselves.
00:59:00.000 To get Joe Biden out of this, it needs to be a heroic retreat.
00:59:04.000 It could theoretically be something like he has a health scare and then has to publicly announce that he's done everything he can, but as you know, this is a tough job and it's been very taxing.
00:59:15.000 I'm not the young man I used to be.
00:59:17.000 That's a light possibility.
00:59:19.000 Or terminal.
00:59:20.000 He'd have to be like, I actually only have six months.
00:59:23.000 And then he looks at the camera and says, America, I ask you for one thing with my final statement to you.
00:59:30.000 Vote Democrat, man.
00:59:31.000 We're gonna we're gonna fix it.
00:59:34.000 Don't let these fascists.
00:59:35.000 Something like that.
00:59:36.000 Yeah.
00:59:36.000 I'm headed to the big ice cream shop up in the sky.
00:59:39.000 You're right.
00:59:39.000 You're still right that, like, they would need to really find a big way of introducing Gavin Newsom over Kamala Harris, because I think if the Biden administration and the Democratic Party turn to Kamala Harris, they're going to isolate a lot of voters.
00:59:51.000 But with numbers like that, who even wants that?
00:59:54.000 I'm not saying she's popular.
00:59:55.000 I'm just saying there are a lot of people who feel like the Democratic Party needs to be led by a woman who is of color, and to turn it over to another white man would be bad.
01:00:04.000 I hope they run Kamala.
01:00:06.000 They can't run Kamala.
01:00:08.000 Kamala doesn't have the support, but they will be mad if they don't think about it.
01:00:11.000 She doesn't have the, how do I say, cognitive faculties.
01:00:15.000 I thought they were going to run Michelle Obama.
01:00:17.000 With Joe Biden, we proved we don't need that.
01:00:19.000 That's true.
01:00:20.000 Yeah.
01:00:21.000 Who is of higher mental status?
01:00:24.000 I thought they were going to run Michelle.
01:00:25.000 Michelle Obama.
01:00:26.000 I thought that was going to be a thing.
01:00:27.000 So my understanding is that they do want to run Michelle, but Michelle doesn't want to run.
01:00:32.000 I don't blame her.
01:00:33.000 Yeah.
01:00:33.000 I mean, it's like the most relatable thing I've ever heard.
01:00:36.000 I don't blame her.
01:00:37.000 Who wants to run?
01:00:38.000 Like, seriously, who would?
01:00:39.000 I can't even believe Vivek wants to run.
01:00:41.000 It's like, y'all are crazy.
01:00:42.000 Especially given that, like, Obama's there.
01:00:44.000 I mean, they're very wealthy now.
01:00:45.000 They don't need to do this.
01:00:46.000 They own, like, three production companies.
01:00:48.000 She goes on yachts in Italy.
01:00:49.000 She's having a great time.
01:00:51.000 Yeah, can you imagine the stress?
01:00:52.000 Can you imagine the campaigns against her?
01:00:53.000 Especially the memes, all the Big Mike stuff and all that stuff.
01:00:55.000 It'd be, I don't know, it'd be, I mean, I'd love it.
01:00:58.000 It'd be fun to watch, but... Also, like, Hillary Clinton held office before she ran.
01:01:02.000 Like, Michelle Obama was the first lady and then was like, and we're in.
01:01:07.000 It would be such a, like, cringey diversity point.
01:01:10.000 Like, I don't know.
01:01:11.000 I wouldn't want to be that.
01:01:12.000 What are your credentials?
01:01:13.000 I slept with the previous president.
01:01:16.000 School lunch program stuff.
01:01:19.000 Yeah, she wanted kids to lose weight, I guess.
01:01:22.000 But that's not good in today's day and age.
01:01:25.000 You can't say that now.
01:01:27.000 To rewind a little bit back to the point I was making about, you know, we're sitting on the beach looking at the storm off in the distance.
01:01:32.000 We know the storm's coming.
01:01:33.000 So what do we do now, right?
01:01:36.000 What do we do to prevent the worst elements of the storm if anything could be done, right?
01:01:43.000 I'm not sure humans have the ability to fight a hurricane off.
01:01:46.000 So I think the reality is going to be...
01:01:50.000 Like, get ready, in a matter of speaking.
01:01:53.000 Meaning, like, do you know where the eggs are in your house?
01:01:57.000 Do you have somewhere to go in the event of mass unrest in cities?
01:02:00.000 Because that's extremely likely.
01:02:02.000 I think we're going to see a ton of rioting throughout the summer.
01:02:05.000 But I could be wrong, who knows?
01:02:06.000 I think there's a decent possibility that, like, nothing happens.
01:02:09.000 And we're just like, wow, nothing happened.
01:02:11.000 There's a lot of political bickering in the news, like we're seeing now.
01:02:14.000 But I really feel like when Trump His trials are coming up.
01:02:20.000 He's going to be in multiple criminal trials.
01:02:24.000 The news is going to be the craziest you've ever heard.
01:02:29.000 CNN is going to be salivating.
01:02:31.000 They're already salivating.
01:02:33.000 The idea of covering, what are we on, four?
01:02:36.000 Three, I think.
01:02:37.000 With Fulton County?
01:02:38.000 Yeah, yeah, I mean four.
01:02:40.000 With Fulton County.
01:02:41.000 So you've got New York, classified documents, 2020, and Fulton County.
01:02:44.000 You're gonna have four different criminal proceedings all going on around the exact same time.
01:02:49.000 Maybe.
01:02:50.000 What actually happens is that people just turn the TV off.
01:02:53.000 Figuratively, I mean.
01:02:54.000 Like, I can't track all these criminal proceedings.
01:02:57.000 I'm done.
01:02:58.000 Maybe that's what they want to happen.
01:02:59.000 That's the point, right?
01:03:01.000 They want people to say he's guilty by sheer volume of things that he said.
01:03:05.000 But I think it'll have the opposite effect.
01:03:06.000 I think for some people.
01:03:08.000 It'll have, it'll be too much noise.
01:03:10.000 Like, how could he possibly be guilty of all of these things, all of these trials happening at once?
01:03:14.000 Like, you can't take it all in, so you start to say, like, I just don't believe you, and I don't want to have this conversation anymore, or I don't want to watch anymore of this.
01:03:21.000 I've seen both on YouTube comments just today.
01:03:22.000 I saw someone, one person saying, like, well, if my, I don't want someone that's been indicted, like, why would I want to like someone that's been indicted for anything?
01:03:28.000 And the other person saying, he's been indicted for four different things, like, there's no way that he's been indicted for all, there's no way he did all these things.
01:03:33.000 How would he have the time to do that and, and do all this?
01:03:35.000 There's just no way it would be possible.
01:03:36.000 So, It goes both ways.
01:03:37.000 I wonder who's going to win out.
01:03:39.000 A lot of people would take the where there's smoke, there's fire approach.
01:03:41.000 Yes, I agree.
01:03:42.000 And they're just going to be like, well, why would they lie?
01:03:44.000 Why would they lie about that?
01:03:45.000 And they'll just assume that, well, if four different jurisdictions all came to this conclusion of their own accord, mind you, there was no backroom dealings at all, I'm sure, that he must be guilty.
01:03:57.000 But I think it's people who already think he's guilty.
01:03:58.000 There must be no Republican district attorneys.
01:04:00.000 There must be no Republican prosecutors anywhere.
01:04:02.000 They're all like, you know what I'm gonna do?
01:04:05.000 We're in West Virginia.
01:04:06.000 I'm gonna go to like find a local prosecutor's office and I'm gonna ask him why he's a Democrat.
01:04:10.000 Well, I'm not.
01:04:11.000 I'd be like, come on.
01:04:12.000 If you were actually a Republican, you'd be criminally charging these people.
01:04:17.000 The Hillary Clinton stuff took place in West Virginia.
01:04:19.000 They ran elections nationwide.
01:04:20.000 Her name was on the ballot, right?
01:04:22.000 So when she tried to defraud the country, and the fraud led to a massive $30-plus million investigation as to whether Trump was secretly working for the Soviet Union, How come there's no criminal charges for that?
01:04:35.000 Because the Republicans are timid and Democrats play for keeps.
01:04:38.000 I think it's because Republicans are Democrats and they're just pretending they're not.
01:04:42.000 They're going the speed limit.
01:04:44.000 But that's the saying, but I'm like, no, actually they're probably Kevin McCarthy's going behind the scenes and high-fiving, you know.
01:04:50.000 Uniparty.
01:04:51.000 Right.
01:04:51.000 Yeah, we're talking about Trump here, so it's not really so much a left or it's right thing as there's an establishment versus, I guess you could say dissident would be a good way to describe the other energy.
01:04:59.000 And I think Tim's right.
01:05:00.000 I think there will be people checking out But I think that will be more the right to some extent, roughly, the people that are in the know.
01:05:06.000 Because they know, like, this is nonsense.
01:05:08.000 You're just throwing a bunch of stuff at it.
01:05:09.000 This is just static at this point.
01:05:11.000 But I think on the flip side, the left, we may see, especially if he inevitably probably gets off, or if he does get elected, they'll be screeching the streets all over again.
01:05:19.000 We'll see all that nonsense again.
01:05:20.000 But I think the right is going to start retreating locally, like the people of the right, like the voter base.
01:05:25.000 They're going to start retreating, embracing localism.
01:05:29.000 And honestly, that's kind of the better way to go.
01:05:31.000 Yeah, I think this is sort of an answer to your question of, like, if we're on the beach right now and we know the storm is coming, when do we decide to leave the beach and go make sure our home's okay?
01:05:39.000 Like, I would like to see, you know, we might not be able to stop whatever crazy fighting is about to happen on the federal level, but it would be interesting to see people say, like, well, how do I protect myself at home?
01:05:51.000 How do I insulate it?
01:05:52.000 Who runs your school board?
01:05:53.000 Who runs your school board?
01:05:53.000 Who runs your elections?
01:05:55.000 Who's running your town?
01:05:56.000 What decisions are they making?
01:05:57.000 Because, again, in some ways, the worst part about all of this is that it's a big distraction from the tiny decisions.
01:06:04.000 Well, it feels like tiny, but they're actually massive in your own life, right?
01:06:07.000 They make all the decisions.
01:06:08.000 Like your personal relationships, the people who live around you.
01:06:10.000 The decisions for zoning or anything else that happens locally to you.
01:06:14.000 That stuff is way more likely to affect you on a daily basis than any of the large scale national politics.
01:06:20.000 Yeah.
01:06:20.000 So to Tim's point, it's that we have to decide it's time to leave the beach and go make sure our homes are OK.
01:06:26.000 I don't know if I agree with that.
01:06:28.000 I certainly agree that local politics are extremely important, but it's probably a balance of sorts.
01:06:33.000 I mean, the stuff we saw with the federal government, ESG, woke policies, the Department of Education, the curriculum stuff they push, you've got, like, the complaints over Common Core, which was several years ago.
01:06:45.000 Now you've got the schools pushing all this, you know, gratuitous content.
01:06:49.000 All of this comes at the federal level.
01:06:50.000 Sure, but the only way to stop it coming down from third level is to have someone fighting up against it.
01:06:55.000 Like you need both sides of these things.
01:06:56.000 And so I'm saying it's not that you can ignore the federal election, I'm just saying like it would be good to not get so lost on if or Trump did this or whatever that you don't know who's running in your own country.
01:07:07.000 I just feel like to some extent the federal move is almost a lost cause, maybe not, but I think there is something.
01:07:13.000 For example, one thing I liked about DeSantis is he was making moves within his state where he was kind of, in a sense, distancing himself somewhat from the federal government and doing his own thing.
01:07:22.000 Kind of almost a soft nullification, soft cessation in some ways.
01:07:25.000 And I personally would like to see that energy continue to go forward and start separating yourself further where you can so that federal government has less effect on your life.
01:07:33.000 So we just start ignoring Democrats?
01:07:34.000 So this is a big story.
01:07:35.000 Former Lizzo dancers were weight shamed and pressured while at strip club, lawsuit says.
01:07:39.000 Is someone there? Is someone talking? I have no idea.
01:07:41.000 Let's talk about something completely irreverent, irrelevant, but, you know, let's lighten the mood a little
01:07:46.000 bit.
01:07:47.000 So this is a big story.
01:07:49.000 Former Lizzo dancers were weight shamed and pressured while at strip club, lawsuit says.
01:07:54.000 I like how it says pressured while at strip club.
01:07:56.000 Not for the kids, I will say, but we'll keep the overt language to a minimum.
01:08:03.000 And my understanding is that they were actually physically abused at these clubs.
01:08:08.000 They were pressured into doing things, and I don't know if we can say that on air here, but bananas were put places bananas aren't supposed to go, and then they were told to eat them from the places...
01:08:22.000 No.
01:08:22.000 Lizzo is morbidly obese.
01:08:23.000 I'm just the messenger here. Uh, okay, but here's I do blame you as the pop culture hose. Yeah, here's here's the
01:08:28.000 important part of the story That's why we're talking about it because Lizzo was weight
01:08:33.000 shaming. Yes answers Lizzo is morbidly obese. There can only be one
01:08:39.000 This is my question Is she saying, like, you're too heavy or is she saying you're not heavy enough?
01:08:47.000 Oh, that's a great question.
01:08:48.000 No one has asked that yet.
01:08:50.000 I want to know.
01:08:51.000 She's like, if you really want to be on my tour, you'll eat all of the donuts.
01:08:55.000 Like, no one has said it explicitly.
01:08:57.000 I don't understand.
01:08:58.000 We spent about 20 minutes talking about it today, so I'm about over this whole discussion.
01:09:02.000 I'll be completely fair, but it's, uh, I mean, that's not the worst.
01:09:05.000 There's really funny, like mixed messages where she's got like a lady who works on the tour with her.
01:09:09.000 Who's like very religious, but also like simulating sex acts in front of people.
01:09:14.000 It's the weirdest.
01:09:15.000 It almost feels fake.
01:09:16.000 The how, how over the top the story is, but it's, it's going to cost her a little bit.
01:09:21.000 I'll be honest.
01:09:22.000 I don't really care about the inner politics of Lizzo.
01:09:25.000 But the issue I see is, culturally, we have this body positivity thing.
01:09:32.000 They say Lizzo is beautiful, but then inside this company or whatever, they're telling these people they're too fat.
01:09:40.000 So it's something like, what is this?
01:09:43.000 How do these things coexist?
01:09:45.000 Yeah, I also think the point that they're saying they're at a strip club, going to strip club is like all of the Women, I know, who propose to be sex-positive feminists are like, going to the strip club is empowering and it's good and you should go.
01:10:00.000 So it's this clash of cultures where it's like, if you don't go, then you are not sex-positive enough.
01:10:06.000 That's literally what we're talking about.
01:10:07.000 And also when you go, you're forced to do things you're uncomfortable with and maybe Lizzo Fat shames you or perhaps she skinny shames you.
01:10:13.000 It's unclear.
01:10:13.000 This is one of those things where they're talking about like, look, if this had been... Well, the dancers were overweight.
01:10:18.000 Yeah.
01:10:19.000 But were they overweight enough?
01:10:21.000 I don't know.
01:10:22.000 You need to put on a hundred pounds.
01:10:23.000 I'm just saying.
01:10:24.000 It's like the stories of like brides who get their bridesmaids ugly bridesmaids dresses so that they look better by comparison.
01:10:32.000 I just want to know what direction this is happening.
01:10:34.000 Lizzo's name is Melissa?
01:10:36.000 Yes.
01:10:36.000 That changes everything.
01:10:39.000 These are the people that push a very, very toxically positive message, meaning that you have to feign positivity at all times, which is not how the real world works.
01:10:48.000 And as you learn invariably, like I said earlier, anybody who puts Be Kind in a profile is the meanest person you've ever met in your entire life.
01:10:55.000 It's the same in these industries.
01:10:56.000 The harder the virtue signal, The worst they are as a boss, as an employer, as a general human being.
01:11:03.000 And if you read more of the story, like I said, I'm going to spare everyone the details.
01:11:07.000 No, no, no.
01:11:08.000 I got a question about this.
01:11:09.000 I'm not going to read it and I'm going to keep the language as vague as I can.
01:11:14.000 But NBC News says.
01:11:17.000 Okay, no, don't pull this up.
01:11:21.000 NBC News says cast members took turns catching objects launched from certain areas of the body.
01:11:30.000 How do you launch those things?
01:11:33.000 Ask the people at this strip club.
01:11:35.000 Just a fun company activity.
01:11:37.000 The best part about it is is there's like an interview with her from like two years before this happened where she talks about how she always wanted to go to this one strip club.
01:11:43.000 And that this was because this is the red light district in Amsterdam, right?
01:11:46.000 So she's like, basically, I was like, I love bananas.
01:11:49.000 I want to go there to this strip club.
01:11:51.000 And now it's coming back to bite her because she's nuts.
01:11:55.000 Also, why?
01:11:56.000 I'm sorry.
01:11:57.000 You're all men.
01:11:58.000 I don't get the appeal of strip clubs.
01:11:59.000 Perhaps you understand something I don't.
01:12:01.000 This is the fall of Rome.
01:12:02.000 It's so obvious.
01:12:03.000 This is one of those things where, look, they were basically shamed into doing this.
01:12:06.000 They're like, well, if you don't come with... You don't have to, but we'll judge you if you don't.
01:12:11.000 It would be like Tim saying, like, Hey Brett, you want to go skating on Saturday?
01:12:13.000 I mean, you don't have to come, but you know, you might not have a job on Monday if you don't come with me.
01:12:19.000 That's literally what it is.
01:12:20.000 Or for the rest of the tour, we'll just treat you like you're a weirdo.
01:12:23.000 Exactly.
01:12:23.000 Well, they said like she would do other concerts that were not part of the tour and only the people who like hung out with her outside at these events were the ones who got those jobs.
01:12:31.000 So it's basically just like, do you remember when, oh no, okay.
01:12:34.000 So recently Robert Downey Jr.
01:12:35.000 had a thing where he talked about how after making Oppenheimer, he said, women should run the world.
01:12:40.000 Robert Downey Jr.
01:12:40.000 was in that?
01:12:41.000 In Oppenheimer, yeah.
01:12:42.000 He's like, what this movie taught me is that women should run the world because they have a better way of handling problems.
01:12:46.000 This is the exact proof to the opposite of that, that I don't know if it would be better, or if it would be worse, but it's certainly not going to be any better, because being a bad boss is not gendered.
01:12:57.000 Doesn't like every military industrial complex corporation have like a female CEO or something?
01:13:02.000 Not all right now, but yeah, like a couple years ago, yeah.
01:13:05.000 Like, women should run the world, and it's like, here's a bunch of women that are blowing up kids.
01:13:08.000 Boeing is like, yeah, let's do that.
01:13:10.000 Both men and women are equally bad and good at resolving problems, but I do not think women should exclusively run the world.
01:13:16.000 It's like, when people say, like, there should be an all-women Supreme Court, like, what are you talking about?
01:13:20.000 That's a terrible idea.
01:13:22.000 That's what the Barbie movie said.
01:13:23.000 No, no, no.
01:13:23.000 Men and women are different, right?
01:13:25.000 Men are object-oriented.
01:13:26.000 Women are subject-oriented.
01:13:28.000 So what happens is, when you've got like a Hillary Clinton and like a Barack Obama, Obama sees a map.
01:13:35.000 And on the map he sees a military base.
01:13:37.000 And he says, I think we should blow up that military base.
01:13:40.000 And then, like, let's confer with Hillary what she thinks.
01:13:43.000 And Hillary says, we should blow up those people.
01:13:45.000 Yeah.
01:13:46.000 So, you know, you see what I'm saying?
01:13:47.000 Like, Obama is targeting some object of some merit and Hillary is like, I hate them, blow them up.
01:13:52.000 She's saying women are evils.
01:13:56.000 At least she's being honest about what's going to happen.
01:13:58.000 But what it is, it really is, it shows, it shines a light on the toxic positivity that this is what Hollywood and all of these industries push is like, It's an unrealistic expectation of how human beings interact.
01:14:08.000 And invariably, just like men behind the scenes, a bad tour manager, a bad boss, a bad celebrity is not restricted to one gender or one type of person.
01:14:19.000 But very often, it is true that the people who feign the most kind of heart or who pretend to be the most good of heart or good of virtue end up being the worst type of people.
01:14:28.000 And I don't think that has anything to do with a weight, a sexuality, or a gender.
01:14:34.000 Yeah, you did bring up a good point before we started that this was essentially an inverse of the casting couch in a sense.
01:14:40.000 And in multiple ways, I think.
01:14:41.000 But it is funny how that literally is the casting couch situation, but in a different setting.
01:14:47.000 And so in this setting, maybe the illusionist is supposed to be somewhat okay with it.
01:14:50.000 I actually don't even know if it should be necessarily legal, but she should be shamed like she's being shamed.
01:14:54.000 Well, it's hazing.
01:14:55.000 It's hazing.
01:14:55.000 I want to give a shout out to the Babylon Bee for the best response to this.
01:14:59.000 With an article they titled, Three Dancers Sue Lizzo Alleging She Ate Them.
01:15:06.000 Joey B Tune said good luck to convincing that judge that Lizzo shared food.
01:15:12.000 Yeah, it's just it is it is just a microcosm of just how awful Holly is.
01:15:19.000 It's okay to make fun of her though, because she's apparently some kind of rapist.
01:15:23.000 So you know, she's just a very bad person.
01:15:26.000 The rest of the stories, the stuff with the manager who was also making everyone uncomfortable and the threats to people's jobs, keeping people working for like 12 hours at a time after a concert and saying you're going to lose your job if you don't do that, a lady who worked for her She urinated on herself because she was afraid to go backstage and go to the bathroom because she felt she'd lose her job.
01:15:47.000 That's the type of thing you'd hear of a guy.
01:15:49.000 That a guy would be the one who's such a hard boss that I felt like I couldn't leave, otherwise I would end up having to... No, female bosses are just as whack as male bosses.
01:15:58.000 I don't know what to tell you.
01:15:59.000 Well, you and I know that.
01:16:00.000 The average person these days... It's just almost worse because it's like emotional manipulation.
01:16:04.000 But my favorite is the data showing that men and women equally don't hire women at the same rates.
01:16:11.000 So these women are like women should be in charge and then things would change and it's like the women who are in charge like I'd rather have a guy.
01:16:15.000 The women enforcing the patriarchy.
01:16:18.000 There was also talk that there was racialized elements to this too, like that the black dancers were treated different than the dancers of color. There are no white dancers but dancers of
01:16:26.000 color. No white dancers, not racist though.
01:16:28.000 No, but the point is that they're saying that certain ones were treated differently and it all kind of falls together.
01:16:33.000 It's like it's Hollywood. They deserve each other. Let them fight.
01:16:36.000 Wow, you don't say that at Big Girl Touring?
01:16:38.000 Yes.
01:16:41.000 You know, the body positivity thing is what I first noticed from this story.
01:16:44.000 I mean, the story's like, wholly messed up as it is.
01:16:48.000 We had like nine articles, it was like literally split between like nine articles because of all the stuff that came out about this today.
01:16:54.000 That's crazy.
01:16:55.000 I just think, how does Lizzo get famous?
01:16:57.000 Like, do people really like her music?
01:16:59.000 Yes, yes.
01:17:00.000 She had some like cool songs that I was really, she had one.
01:17:04.000 I think she has insulin resistance.
01:17:05.000 I don't know anything about her.
01:17:07.000 Is that the new single?
01:17:09.000 I know that she's on stage and she's working like dancing.
01:17:21.000 No, that's the point.
01:17:21.000 She's talking about like the other dancers can't keep up with her because she's like actually in better shape than them.
01:17:26.000 Right, and the reason she doesn't lose weight is because she has insulin resistance, probably from a very poor American high-sugar diet.
01:17:32.000 I wish her the best.
01:17:33.000 I hope she can figure that one out.
01:17:34.000 If she comes out with, I have insulin resistance, it reminds me of Kevin Costner being like, yes, maybe stuff happened, but I'm choosing to live as a gay man.
01:17:42.000 No, that was Kevin Spacey.
01:17:43.000 Kevin Spacey, thank you.
01:17:44.000 I can't remember any actor's name.
01:17:45.000 Sure, I was accused of that, but I'm gay.
01:17:47.000 And if I did, it's a drunken mistake.
01:17:49.000 By the way, some news about me.
01:17:50.000 He didn't get convicted in the UK.
01:17:53.000 They let him off.
01:17:54.000 No but I mean the the thing is like Lizzo had some like um I don't remember which one the one about like being broken up with she wrote some song and it was like not a hit and she was like I'm gonna if if this isn't a hit then I I don't know like she really does understand pop music in a way it's just that everything about her since she's gotten famous has become like About the body positivity movement about accept me the way I am about actually praise me the way I am and I think that's the problem like it's not like I don't know like Adele used to be really heavy and she sang some fun music and she was a pop star and it was a good time.
01:18:28.000 I'm gonna write this song what kind of song should it be should it be like a.
01:18:35.000 Acoustic folk.
01:18:38.000 Called insulin resistance?
01:18:39.000 Yes.
01:18:39.000 Yes.
01:18:40.000 Let's go.
01:18:40.000 Acoustic folk, like heartfelt and like downbeat.
01:18:44.000 Definitely heartfelt, that's for sure.
01:18:45.000 Heartfelt, you know.
01:18:48.000 Or maybe punk rock.
01:18:50.000 Yeah.
01:18:51.000 That sounds- like, insulin resistance does sound- feel like it could be like- I don't know, I'm thinking dance.
01:18:55.000 Band name, man.
01:18:55.000 Disco.
01:18:55.000 Disco.
01:18:57.000 Yeah, you know, I've been listening to some disco recently because we were, uh, we were listening to Boney M. Oh, no way.
01:19:03.000 Because Boney M's so good.
01:19:04.000 Sweet.
01:19:05.000 Maybe we should write a disco song.
01:19:06.000 Yeah.
01:19:07.000 See if we can get Lizzo to, like, I wonder how much it costs to get Lizzo, like, as, like, a feature on the- I don't think she's going to want to be on my song titled Lizzo.
01:19:14.000 Sure, sure, we could try.
01:19:14.000 I don't think Lizzo's going to want to be on a song titled Lizzo Has Insulin Resistance.
01:19:20.000 Well, it could just be called insulin resistance.
01:19:21.000 It doesn't have to be called Lizzo has insulin resistance.
01:19:23.000 Nah, it's going to be called Lizzo has insulin resistance.
01:19:26.000 And it's not meant to be mean.
01:19:27.000 I want to make that very clear.
01:19:28.000 I am genuinely concerned about the bad dieting habits of Americans.
01:19:32.000 Monopoly's awareness.
01:19:34.000 And it's a point to be critical of someone who would weight shame her own staff while she herself is currently suffering from a weight issue.
01:19:43.000 She's also counting on you not being mean to her because of her size.
01:19:47.000 I still think she's shaming her dancer saying they're too skinny.
01:19:51.000 I think it's the other way around.
01:19:52.000 I mean there's different types of fat.
01:19:53.000 She's clearly like O-line healthy type fat.
01:19:55.000 You know what I mean?
01:19:55.000 Like can move.
01:19:56.000 You know what I mean?
01:19:57.000 But that's the thing.
01:19:58.000 That's why I said insulin resistance.
01:19:59.000 I wasn't making a joke.
01:20:01.000 I was the one being mean.
01:20:02.000 You see these videos where it's like people who are very big are like moving really well.
01:20:06.000 Linebackers.
01:20:07.000 Yeah.
01:20:08.000 And there's videos of skateboarders, for instance, you'll see on Instagram where they're huge, but they'll be skating really well.
01:20:14.000 And I'm just like, this is somebody who's got, I don't know if it's insulin resistance, but some kind of like, I don't know, thyroid problem or glandular issue that their body isn't burning the fat, but they clearly are building muscle and ability.
01:20:27.000 I see Lizzo and I'm like, This is something about the garbage plastic we eat in our food every day, the brominated flowers, the phthalates, the PCBs, all of that stuff.
01:20:37.000 Because the story I hear over and over again, I swear, I ask everybody this, they say, oh, I was from this country, and when I came to America, I ate the exact same thing, but I gained 30 pounds.
01:20:47.000 And people say, you know, when I went back to visit my family for a few weeks, I lost 10 pounds.
01:20:51.000 It was crazy.
01:20:52.000 Like, something is wrong with our food.
01:20:54.000 But let's jump to this next story.
01:20:56.000 Seemingly irreverent and irrelevant as well.
01:20:58.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the U.S.
01:20:59.000 has banned light bulbs.
01:21:01.000 Nice.
01:21:01.000 So, uh, how you guys doing?
01:21:05.000 I remember when I took AP Environmental Science when I was in high school and having to do a project where we went to our middle school and then convinced them that the swirly LED, whatever they are, the better light bulbs were in fact better.
01:21:17.000 And if we didn't do that, then, you know, we didn't get as good a grade on the project.
01:21:21.000 And now I really regret that because that was complete propaganda paid for by college board.
01:21:26.000 This is kind of crazy though.
01:21:27.000 I mean, the big story is they've banned incandescent light bulbs.
01:21:31.000 You can only now buy LED light bulbs because they last longer and use less electricity.
01:21:36.000 It's kind of crazy.
01:21:38.000 I mean, how do they just ban something like that?
01:21:41.000 Isn't that an act of Congress?
01:21:42.000 I've been phasing it in for years, though.
01:21:43.000 Yeah, they've been doing it for a while.
01:21:45.000 It's really funny.
01:21:45.000 There's an episode of, I think it was the show Castle, where they catch a guy who works for the city transit authorities.
01:21:52.000 They've been phasing out incandescent to compact fluorescent, and he's selling the incandescent overseas.
01:21:58.000 The idea is that it's ridiculous, and why would that happen?
01:22:01.000 But that's obviously, between that and your gas stove.
01:22:04.000 And they said they were gonna do it, and they made you all excited.
01:22:07.000 It's about the environment, and now, like, I know tons of people who will see the other light bulbs and be like, okay, no big deal.
01:22:12.000 Like, LED lasts longer, it's better for the environment, and like, perhaps that's true.
01:22:16.000 I just don't like it when the government is like, so we're gonna introduce a fan.
01:22:19.000 Makes you want to have an incandescent lightbulb.
01:22:21.000 I know!
01:22:21.000 You look at old videos like if you have like VHS tapes or anything like if you have like home videos where there's lights on out in the streets when you were growing up and notice that all those lights are orange and now like you don't see orange light anywhere outside.
01:22:35.000 But look my point is how does the Biden administration just unilaterally decree that a certain product can no longer be sold?
01:22:42.000 But it wasn't the Biden administration, was it?
01:22:43.000 Yes.
01:22:44.000 The Biden administration on Tuesday adopted two new rules that set stricter energy-efficient standards for light bulbs.
01:22:48.000 Those standards will phase out the sale of most new incandescent bulbs.
01:22:52.000 But they've been trying to phase out incandescent bulbs for years.
01:22:55.000 I mean, well before... Right, and Congress will need to pass a law banning incandescent light bulbs, but Joe Biden can't just decree it.
01:23:02.000 It's the shadowy forces from Big Bulb that have been lobbying.
01:23:05.000 Should we sue because we want our incandescent light bulbs?
01:23:08.000 Yes.
01:23:09.000 And then be like, only Congress can do it.
01:23:11.000 This is what I think is the weirdest thing about the Biden administration, which is they were like, we're for the environment and therefore we can justify anything we want by saying it's for the betterment of the environment.
01:23:21.000 You know what this means.
01:23:22.000 You got a new shirt.
01:23:23.000 You got a come and take it shirt with the lightbulb.
01:23:25.000 Oh, that's a good idea.
01:23:27.000 With the lightbulb on it.
01:23:28.000 I honestly don't care about the lightbulbs at all.
01:23:30.000 You put the lightbulb above a gas stove.
01:23:32.000 I bet someone made that up.
01:23:33.000 And the pizza oven.
01:23:34.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:23:35.000 Did it say if it was through executive order?
01:23:37.000 Because I mean, I'm wondering.
01:23:38.000 It just says he adopted it.
01:23:39.000 The pistol brace thing has been rejected, I believe.
01:23:41.000 the actual supposed like what's supposed to be the purpose of executive orders is
01:23:45.000 to provide kind of provide clarification for existing things that are happening
01:23:49.000 of how this is how we're going to do it so yeah like she like I believe they
01:23:53.000 probably have been having legislation go for forever so that's the way I can
01:23:57.000 understand it the pistol brace thing has been rejected I believe judge states
01:24:01.000 the rule regulating pistol braces under NFA is is likely unconstitutional you
01:24:06.000 You can't just keep banning things like this.
01:24:09.000 You can't just be like, I hereby decree.
01:24:11.000 So, you know, maybe we need to, uh, not because I like incandescent light bulbs.
01:24:15.000 Actually, I'm not a fan.
01:24:16.000 I like LED better, but, uh, it's the, it's the, it's the principle of the matter.
01:24:20.000 Maybe, maybe we should sue the federal government and say, you have no authority to ban light bulbs in this way.
01:24:25.000 Protest.
01:24:26.000 Put some incandescents up here in the studio.
01:24:29.000 Start manufacturing our own incandescents so that we're not selling them.
01:24:31.000 We're buying them.
01:24:32.000 We're making our own.
01:24:34.000 Yeah.
01:24:34.000 That's how you solve these problems.
01:24:36.000 I guess it's a climate change agenda thing.
01:24:40.000 Yeah.
01:24:40.000 But what I think is what it actually is, is... You know what I think about the security at airports?
01:24:47.000 Why they make you throw away your shampoo to sell more shampoo.
01:24:50.000 Yeah, makes sense.
01:24:51.000 Because they're like, oh, you can't bring that liquid in here because we don't know what it is.
01:24:55.000 And then it's just like, you walk.
01:24:57.000 Behind the security and there's a whole bunch of really dangerous chemicals for sale at like these various news But they're in small quantities, so it's safer.
01:25:05.000 They tell you like there is I bought more though. There's this dude named Evan Booth and I went met up with him
01:25:11.000 He did this project where he was able to make various weapons combustibles and things like that
01:25:17.000 Within and not not in an airport, but with things found within their plan
01:25:22.000 So you cross security you go to the store? What can you buy?
01:25:26.000 I won't say them now on this show. But yes, we were able to make
01:25:30.000 improvised grenades Using things you can buy in an airport. So the fact that
01:25:36.000 that research had been done This is like 12 years ago and that we have not seen
01:25:42.000 substantial substantial moves on this What I see is, the reason the government made these rules is because they're like, it's going to increase sales at these locations in the airports, which will generate more tax revenue for us.
01:25:54.000 Simply put.
01:25:55.000 When it comes to light bulbs, they're just looking at how can we generate more economic flow.
01:26:00.000 A major shift in the economy will force people to adapt.
01:26:03.000 It will change houses, it will change standards, and this will force people to buy things.
01:26:07.000 I still remember the first time I flew during COVID and all the signs that said make sure to wash your hands and they were all like sponsored by Purell
01:26:16.000 at the airport. And I'm just like, well, that's creepy, right? Like it's literally
01:26:20.000 like an advertisement for the company, but it's put through actual official airport policy, right?
01:26:26.000 It's an actual form that's put up by the airport, but in the corner there, you get the
01:26:29.000 little Purell logo.
01:26:30.000 Purell paid for it.
01:26:31.000 Yeah, exactly. So it's government and business working together.
01:26:34.000 Do many people even really use incandescent light bulbs more?
01:26:36.000 Because I was just thinking about it.
01:26:37.000 It's so typical of government to where they get to this point to where essentially the private market is essentially adapted and then they come in with a rule and be like, look what we did.
01:26:47.000 And it's like, you didn't really do it.
01:26:48.000 I just, I don't, I don't feel like I see incandescent light bulbs all that often.
01:26:51.000 Didn't they do that with like R22 a couple of years ago because of the ozone layer?
01:26:55.000 A couple decades ago, like it's something that HVAC people used it.
01:27:00.000 So they phased it out.
01:27:02.000 So there's like a black market for R22 to use.
01:27:05.000 I mean, they did that with stuff like child labor laws.
01:27:08.000 People weren't really working their kids by the time they started instituting those laws because we had progressed economically to a point where people don't want their kids to work, generally speaking.
01:27:15.000 So, I mean, don't be wrong.
01:27:16.000 I guess it's sort of good that they stopped some of those kids, but I mean, I don't know.
01:27:20.000 It's just the government comes in and then later is like, look what we did.
01:27:23.000 And you're like, well, I mean, they kind of... At the last minute.
01:27:27.000 Taking credit for it when they didn't really do any of the work.
01:27:29.000 In 2007, Obama said that he was going to immediately sign a law to phase out all incandescent light bulbs, and that was reversed under Trump.
01:27:36.000 And so now the Biden administration was like, and we're back!
01:27:39.000 It's just payback.
01:27:40.000 We're so back, baby.
01:27:42.000 We're so back.
01:27:45.000 Why?
01:27:45.000 Also, if LEDs are better...
01:27:49.000 Presumably, the consumer is like, I see the results and I want one.
01:27:52.000 Like, why do you have to ban them?
01:27:54.000 That seems bizarre to me.
01:27:56.000 They're like, Trump and your jail cell will have nothing but LED light bulbs, no incandescents at all.
01:28:01.000 No romantic lighting for you.
01:28:02.000 Not at all.
01:28:02.000 He's like high-fiving Obama, like, we did it, man!
01:28:05.000 The incandescent light bulbs are gone!
01:28:08.000 Like, what a bizarre... That's actually why they've been trying to stay in power for so long.
01:28:11.000 This is like the one thing.
01:28:12.000 I'm telling you, it's the light bulb conspiracy.
01:28:14.000 It's the forces of Big Bulb.
01:28:17.000 Oh my goodness.
01:28:18.000 So, uh, most... What does it say?
01:28:21.000 Uh... Someone, uh, superchatted us.
01:28:23.000 This is a good one.
01:28:23.000 Kenneth Lawrence saying, are the bulbs made in China or the USA?
01:28:26.000 So I just googled it.
01:28:28.000 And it says, uh, light bulbs made in the USA, do they exist?
01:28:31.000 It seems like they don't.
01:28:32.000 Since most consumers look to purchase a cheaper bulb, most light bulbs are manufactured in China, where it is more cost effective.
01:28:39.000 So I think that's just referring to, um, incandescent light bulbs.
01:28:44.000 No, I think it's all of them.
01:28:45.000 All light bulbs are made in China.
01:28:47.000 I don't think it changes anything.
01:28:48.000 Okay, if there is any, like, Made in America lightbulb brand, can someone please let me know on Twitter?
01:28:52.000 Because I will only buy their lightbulbs.
01:28:54.000 Like, that's bananas.
01:28:55.000 Public Square.
01:28:56.000 Oh my gosh, Public Square, I need a specific lightbulb vendor.
01:29:01.000 Yes, there is the lightbulbs made in the USA.
01:29:04.000 Patriot bulbs.
01:29:05.000 Lightbulbs made in the USA, they do exist.
01:29:08.000 The MAGA bulbs.
01:29:09.000 The MAGA bulbs.
01:29:10.000 Trump is like, we're gonna be launching lightbulbs.
01:29:14.000 Him and the pillow guy can do that together.
01:29:16.000 Yeah, that'd be good.
01:29:17.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:29:18.000 That is a really good question, though, because these moves could be made to shift production and revenue generation and things like that.
01:29:25.000 To a place that really doesn't care about child labor.
01:29:28.000 I don't really care about lightbulbs, to be honest.
01:29:30.000 I'm just more so concerned that we are now at a place where the federal government has just been ruling by decree.
01:29:36.000 Just mandating.
01:29:37.000 So, on the surface, it is but a simple story about lightbulbs that no one cares about.
01:29:43.000 But when people ask, how did it get so bad?
01:29:46.000 This is exactly it.
01:29:48.000 No one cares they banned light bulbs.
01:29:50.000 No one's gonna go protest over it.
01:29:52.000 But they do things like this where they rule by decree.
01:29:55.000 A year from now, people will be like, what do you mean?
01:29:57.000 The government has always done this.
01:29:58.000 Sets the precedence, too.
01:29:59.000 That's right.
01:29:59.000 I mean, this is the moment where I want to say, like, Everyone.
01:30:03.000 I think you're right.
01:30:03.000 It'd be nice to sue.
01:30:04.000 I don't know that I personally have the cash reserves to fight the federal government that can litigate you to death.
01:30:10.000 But it would be interesting if we had these, I don't know, representatives who we could call and be like, hey, how did this come to be?
01:30:16.000 And I don't like it.
01:30:17.000 Please fight for my right to have an incandescent light bulb if I so choose.
01:30:20.000 In a gas stove.
01:30:21.000 I don't know where you'd find them.
01:30:22.000 Maybe the House of Representatives or the Senate or something.
01:30:24.000 A gas stove slap, though.
01:30:26.000 So that's different.
01:30:28.000 They hate them, right?
01:30:29.000 Yeah, they hate the gas stoves.
01:30:30.000 They're illegal in Vermont, apparently.
01:30:32.000 Gastos or incandescent light bulbs?
01:30:34.000 Incandescent light bulbs.
01:30:35.000 Yeah, that's because Vermont's always... Fluorescent.
01:30:37.000 Fluorescent light bulbs.
01:30:38.000 Oh man, I feel like Vermont is such a wild place.
01:30:41.000 But fluorescent bulbs are really cool because you can like rub your feet on the carpet and then like grab it and it lights up like a lightsaber, you know?
01:30:49.000 Taking away fun.
01:30:50.000 And then the kids go and shatter them in the alley and the dust comes out and they all laugh and it goes in their lungs and they get really sick.
01:30:55.000 Vermont, do you see what you're doing?
01:30:57.000 What you're keeping us from?
01:30:58.000 Yeah.
01:30:59.000 Yeah.
01:31:00.000 Well, I suppose the story is like a mix of climate change stuff and government overreach or whatever, but I figured we'd keep it light.

01:31:29.000 Alright.
01:31:30.000 I'm not your buddy, guys!
01:31:31.000 Says Jack Smith is a political hitman.
01:31:33.000 He should be disbarred and sent to prison for life.
01:31:36.000 What's up, the president?
01:31:37.000 This abuse of power can cost you your life behind bars.
01:31:42.000 Can cost your life behind bars?
01:31:44.000 Can send you to prison.
01:31:46.000 WeirdNugz says, Bud Light anyone?
01:31:48.000 LOL.
01:31:49.000 Who drinks Bud Light?
01:31:51.000 I've not actually seen someone drink Bud Light in a minute, but we're in MAGA country, so I'm not surprised.
01:31:54.000 Is it still low?
01:31:56.000 Are the sales still down?
01:31:58.000 I saw a thing that I read an article today that said like some bars are like having to set it up as like it's a mystery lager just to get rid of it.
01:32:04.000 Like they have to put it on tap and it's like, it's a mystery here.
01:32:07.000 We can't tell you what it is.
01:32:09.000 I went to a place where it was like they had them all in a cooler and then they had like blacked out this one shell being like, mystery!
01:32:14.000 It's funny, my wife just discovered the Bud Light controversy yesterday and explained to her and she was like, yeah, that is dumb.
01:32:20.000 Like, yeah, right?
01:32:20.000 So your wife is not into politics?
01:32:22.000 No, not at all.
01:32:22.000 That's amazing.
01:32:23.000 Great.
01:32:23.000 She just found it?
01:32:24.000 Yeah, she just found out about it.
01:32:25.000 Oh my god, she's my hero right now.
01:32:27.000 She's gonna get to Target next.
01:32:28.000 She's gonna be like, did you know?
01:32:29.000 I went to a Walmart and they were like setting up displays more like Target.
01:32:34.000 They're coming for Target, it's so interesting.
01:32:37.000 Alright, let's grab some more.
01:32:38.000 What do we got?
01:32:39.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:32:40.000 says, I let anger and emotions inside today, guys.
01:32:43.000 I don't like it.
01:32:43.000 This damn cycle of corrupt government, lying media, both their disdain for the lives of American people, war, needless death, rinse and repeat.
01:32:51.000 I completely agree.
01:32:52.000 And lightbulbs.
01:32:53.000 And lightbulbs.
01:32:54.000 They're taking our lightbulbs from us.
01:32:55.000 It just never ends.
01:32:56.000 They took our lightbulbs.
01:32:58.000 They took our bulbs!
01:33:00.000 Start small.
01:33:01.000 That's a dick move, taking our lightbulbs.
01:33:02.000 I gotta be completely honest.
01:33:04.000 I also hate those LED light bulbs in oncoming traffic.
01:33:07.000 It's getting a little ridiculous.
01:33:08.000 It's absurdly bright.
01:33:09.000 Even in here, I'm not a huge fan of the bright light in here.
01:33:13.000 That's why I don't wear my glasses in here.
01:33:14.000 It actually is really hard on my eyes.
01:33:17.000 I can't even get an incandescent bulb!
01:33:19.000 Save my life now!
01:33:20.000 Well, they're all LED, even the special lights that we have.
01:33:23.000 They didn't even bother me until I started noticing them.
01:33:25.000 All right, Aaron's Mickey says, Tim went to see Sound of Freedom today, and they said the film was locked in the projector.
01:33:32.000 They refunded me my tickets.
01:33:33.000 The conspiracy is true.
01:33:34.000 Yeah, I've been hearing more and more.
01:33:35.000 I've had so many stories of it, like people have been coming just because we covered so much of it, like people with crazy stories beyond just like, not just fire alarms being pulled, not just the air conditioning not working, and it's all over the country.
01:33:49.000 It's not just like, I was very hesitant to buy that at first because it's very easy to make that claim.
01:33:55.000 And plus it's summer.
01:33:56.000 Air conditioning goes out places.
01:33:58.000 And you don't have any comparison to like, you know, regular.
01:34:01.000 And you don't hear the stories like, did this happen to other movies?
01:34:04.000 Because they're all on their own AC systems, right?
01:34:06.000 So it's like, did this happen to, that's fine, but did this happen to the theater next to you?
01:34:10.000 But it's not.
01:34:11.000 It's crazy.
01:34:11.000 I mean, it's anecdotal, but I can only recall ever in my life, probably one time there was some sort of technical issue with a film to where I wasn't able to watch it or something along those lines.
01:34:18.000 I was at Ford City Mall when I was a little kid in South Side of Chicago, and the power went out, and then everyone just started ransacking everything.
01:34:26.000 I think my family went to go see Babe, and then the power shuts, like the power goes out, and then we're like walking out of the theater and everyone's just running around stealing everything in sight.
01:34:34.000 And then we just left.
01:34:34.000 They're like, get the Dippin' Dots!
01:34:38.000 Yeah, the Dippin Dots have been the ice cream of the future for like 40 some ideas
01:34:42.000 And no one's competed with them. That's the thing We did actually have a pro like when we went to see the
01:34:47.000 flash the because we had to go we went to a clip We could only get a closed caption screening and the closed
01:34:51.000 captions wouldn't work. So they had to like come in That's what I'm looking for.
01:34:54.000 refund you your ticket they restarted the movie like four times like they get five minutes in
01:34:59.000 they're like okay the the subtitles aren't working so they have to start it over again
01:35:03.000 then finally like we're gonna refund all your tickets and then they let it play they're like
01:35:06.000 but if you want to stay it can play and then immediately after they said that they turned
01:35:09.000 back on like that they immediately turned on wouldn't it be funny if like a mafia emerges
01:35:14.000 to sell incandescent light bulbs i can see what i'm looking for a black market will emerge yeah
01:35:19.000 wild wild west out there for incandescent light bulb prohibition won't work i'm down
01:35:24.000 I just don't like that they're limiting us to one option, right?
01:35:26.000 I feel like that's not good.
01:35:28.000 I don't want single-payer health care and I don't want single light bulb choices.
01:35:32.000 I think we have a bunch of, we used to have a bunch of light bulbs that were Wi-Fi.
01:35:36.000 You can control them with your app or whatever.
01:35:38.000 They didn't work though because this place is too big.
01:35:41.000 And so we installed like 40, because of how big it is, and then it's just like,
01:35:45.000 nothing worked. And we're like, okay, we gotta use regular light bulbs.
01:35:47.000 Brad, do you think they'll let us keep our light bulbs?
01:35:49.000 That's a stupid healthcare joke.
01:35:51.000 If you like your bulbs, you can keep your bulbs.
01:35:53.000 If you do.
01:35:55.000 Let's grab some more.
01:35:57.000 Have you guys heard about that thing, it's like LK99 or whatever?
01:35:59.000 Yes.
01:35:59.000 Room temperature superconductor.
01:36:01.000 It's not really room temperature, it's just, like, closer to room temperature.
01:36:04.000 And an outspoken Christian, bonus he knows about graphene, I think Ian would love him.
01:36:08.000 Have you guys heard about that thing, it's like LK99 or whatever?
01:36:10.000 Yes.
01:36:11.000 Room temperature superconductor.
01:36:12.000 It's not really room temperature, it's just like closer to room temperature.
01:36:16.000 Way closer.
01:36:17.000 It's like more feasible, but until like it's been proven by other places,
01:36:20.000 I, you know, it's not worth really covering.
01:36:22.000 People are saying that if it's true, that they've generated this, you know, near-room temperature superconductor, we're gonna have flying cars and stuff.
01:36:30.000 Yeah, I mean, it's possible.
01:36:32.000 And I'm just like, bro, they told me graphene 20 years ago was gonna change everything.
01:36:36.000 Ian's got the same little tube of graphene I bought him like two, two, three years ago for Christmas.
01:36:42.000 And it's been like nothing's okay, actually, to be fair, they now put graphene in batteries and they charge super
01:36:50.000 fast.
01:36:50.000 So 10 years ago, I'd buy these lithium ion batteries.
01:36:55.000 Everyone's got one for your phone, right?
01:36:57.000 And it would take, like, an hour or two to charge up, and then it could charge your phone a couple times.
01:37:01.000 Now they have graphene polymer batteries, they're called.
01:37:06.000 What they do is they take the lithium ion like normal, and then they lattice graphene over it, which allows the energy to flow through it more evenly, and it charges way faster.
01:37:15.000 So we've got a couple of these portable batteries.
01:37:17.000 It can charge... It holds two cell phone charges, so about 4,000 milliamps.
01:37:22.000 It can charge in 10 minutes.
01:37:24.000 Crazy!
01:37:24.000 That's wild.
01:37:25.000 Absolutely crazy.
01:37:26.000 So, okay, fine.
01:37:27.000 Fair point.
01:37:28.000 I've also heard about solid-state batteries coming out.
01:37:31.000 Yeah.
01:37:31.000 Yeah, I'm waiting.
01:37:32.000 I'm waiting.
01:37:33.000 I want a flying car with extremely dense battery.
01:37:35.000 I will say I got this smartwatch because Luke recommended it.
01:37:39.000 The battery lasts for a month.
01:37:41.000 Wow.
01:37:41.000 That's crazy.
01:37:42.000 I don't understand how it does it.
01:37:44.000 Yeah.
01:37:45.000 Yeah, it's a long time.
01:37:46.000 So how long until flying cars then?
01:37:47.000 Man, they built flying cars a long time ago.
01:37:51.000 The problem is that when, like, your car breaks down on the road, you just get out and complain.
01:37:55.000 And when your car breaks down in the sky, you're dead.
01:37:57.000 Yeah, we skipped jetpacks completely.
01:37:59.000 Well, but we have jetpacks.
01:38:02.000 Now you have those suits where they have the things on their arms and they can fly.
01:38:06.000 But we've had jetpacks.
01:38:07.000 The problem is The energy source was always difficult.
01:38:10.000 That's a lot of gas.
01:38:10.000 So the early jetpacks, I think this was like decades ago, could only go for like 30 seconds.
01:38:15.000 Now they have jetpacks that can go for about a half an hour.
01:38:17.000 The problem is still, when they fail, you die.
01:38:20.000 Yeah.
01:38:21.000 That and they wear those suits.
01:38:24.000 You have to be super fit to hold your arms because you're basically doing like, like lift yourself with your arms and hold that position for 30 minutes.
01:38:34.000 Gymnast stuff, yeah.
01:38:35.000 Yeah.
01:38:36.000 But it is really cool because they're using them to like do mountain rescue.
01:38:39.000 They like fly up to the mountain and stuff.
01:38:41.000 It's pretty cool.
01:38:43.000 You know, and they also have those, uh, they're like miniature plane suits almost.
01:38:47.000 Like, it looks like a plane standing upright, but it's very small.
01:38:50.000 You strap into it.
01:38:51.000 Oh yeah, yeah.
01:38:52.000 And then it, you can, you're flying like.
01:38:54.000 Like wingsuit, powered wingsuit.
01:38:55.000 Yeah, and they're like really big.
01:38:56.000 Those are cool things too.
01:38:57.000 Pretty dope.
01:38:59.000 Wyatt Caldenberg says VP Pence took notes of Trump.
01:39:02.000 Notes of Trump?
01:39:03.000 Pence is a system rat.
01:39:05.000 I would not be surprised if Pence is the star witness for the state.
01:39:09.000 I wouldn't either.
01:39:10.000 I don't know why he's running for president.
01:39:11.000 What a waste of time.
01:39:12.000 I don't understand how you can run for president when the reason people know you is because of Trump.
01:39:18.000 What was your game plan here, team?
01:39:20.000 Yeah, to waste everyone's time, I guess.
01:39:24.000 What do we got here?
01:39:25.000 Kevin Coznihan says, ironically, having the trials is probably better for Trump than actually campaigning.
01:39:30.000 He seems to gain in the polls with each indictment.
01:39:32.000 And that's actually a really good point.
01:39:35.000 These criminal trials are going to put Trump on every television screen.
01:39:40.000 Every story, everything will just be Trump.
01:39:44.000 Maybe they're hoping people will get sick of it.
01:39:47.000 We saw that played out last, you know, in 2016.
01:39:49.000 Maybe they're trying to do that so that people will be like, no, I'm not going to vote for the guy.
01:39:55.000 Are they letting cameras in the courtroom?
01:39:57.000 Do we know that yet?
01:39:57.000 We don't know.
01:39:58.000 I mean, it's too far out.
01:39:59.000 I think doing this puts on display the disingenuousness that's occurring.
01:40:06.000 So anyone who has an ounce of honesty will be like, Like, if anything, it's gonna be off-putting.
01:40:10.000 Like, yeah, maybe it might not help vote-wise, but so far as, like, the actual energy within the country, the people are gonna be like, yeah, we know what you're about, and I think that's gonna cause... it's gonna shift some things in the future.
01:40:21.000 Yeah.
01:40:21.000 I think, as well, like, we were talking about how there's no COVID anymore.
01:40:24.000 There's not as much of, like, this rallying cry against Trump anymore that everyone has to do.
01:40:29.000 We haven't just had... but who knows?
01:40:30.000 This summer could change everything, but it'd be a lot of... I'm just saying a lot of people that are on the left, voting for Biden, are gonna be less, like, you know, gung-ho about getting out and voting, so...
01:40:39.000 Spencer Jones says, let's get a Giga Chad Ian t-shirt.
01:40:42.000 Yeah.
01:40:43.000 Well, okay.
01:40:44.000 It's gotta be no sleeves.
01:40:47.000 Then everyone sent us a video tearing off their own sleeves.
01:40:49.000 Yeah, it's good. No, no. I prefer it leaves. So you buy it and you can rip your sleeves.
01:40:57.000 Noah Schramm says Trump is made of rubber.
01:41:00.000 You throw something at him and it bounces off and hits you back.
01:41:03.000 But I think the issue is just that the establishment doesn't understand why people vote for Trump.
01:41:09.000 They don't get it.
01:41:11.000 And so they're like, look, he's a naughty man and he abused women, and they're like, uh-huh, we hate you.
01:41:16.000 They believe their own narrative about him, so it's hard for them to see him clearly or objectively.
01:41:21.000 Stephen Sayes says, I was a classified material control center clerk on Okinawa with the Marines.
01:41:26.000 I had top secret documents on national security in my control.
01:41:29.000 I can't tell you about them, but I didn't face any charges.
01:41:33.000 Well, you're not Donald Trump and they're not trying to remove you from office or from the race.
01:41:38.000 I thought that was gonna be an aliens comment when she started.
01:41:40.000 What if the real conspiracy is that Trump actually is part of the deep state and they're setting him up to be this anti-establishment hero and that no one thinks he can win and everyone keeps saying he can't but then he will win and everyone's gonna be like yay but then it turns out he does everything the deep state actually wanted?
01:41:55.000 Like, what if China is pushing all the woke stuff and the deep state is actually desperately trying to fight it because it's destroying America and will result in us losing this global conflict?
01:42:04.000 So, they know the only way to actually win is to prop up Trump as some, like, underdog anti-establishment guy, but he's actually deeply in with all of it.
01:42:15.000 And the point of the criminal trials is to make sure everyone here is nothing but Trump stuff so that he wins.
01:42:19.000 4-D chess.
01:42:20.000 Yeah, so what you're saying is that when he unbanned those incandescent bulbs, it was actually a move all that time ago because they knew they were going to re-ban them now.
01:42:30.000 How much do you want to bet Donald Trump at his rally says he's going to unban incandescent light bulbs?
01:42:37.000 And they're all going to go, yeah!
01:42:39.000 Well, he said it the first time.
01:42:41.000 He already unbanned them once.
01:42:43.000 He did?
01:42:43.000 Yeah.
01:42:45.000 Obama said, we're going to roll out banning them.
01:42:48.000 Trump was like, no.
01:42:49.000 Biden was like, yes.
01:42:50.000 And now Trump's going to be like, you see, you guys need me.
01:42:53.000 They've taken our bulbs!
01:42:56.000 Under me, there were incandescent bulbs for everybody.
01:42:58.000 LATs do bright, makes me look fat.
01:43:02.000 Oh, man.
01:43:03.000 Random Eskimo says I didn't vote in 2016.
01:43:05.000 I was so disgusted we had no one decent to vote for.
01:43:07.000 I saw how well Trump governed and I appreciate his policy while loathing his style.
01:43:12.000 I still personally dislike him, but he's earned my vote.
01:43:14.000 You see, so many people feel that way.
01:43:16.000 I'm just like, eh, the foreign policy, you know?
01:43:18.000 Like, you even got some libertarians being like, eh, I know.
01:43:22.000 No new wars.
01:43:23.000 What are you going to do?
01:43:24.000 If you can't accept small victories, that's what I don't like about the libertarians, the hardcore ones.
01:43:28.000 They're like, Trump is bad and he did all these bad things.
01:43:30.000 And I'm like, I know, but it's like it's actually moved in a positive direction.
01:43:36.000 You can call him the lesser of two evils, I guess, but not starting any wars and working on peace deals is good.
01:43:42.000 So you complain about everything else, but, like, take what you can get, man.
01:43:45.000 I do think it's good to bring up both, though, that, like, simultaneously have these two concepts in your head at the same time.
01:43:50.000 That way, remind people, hey, there's still work to be done.
01:43:53.000 Like, you know, just staying in the same position we are, while even somewhat expanding forces in some areas.
01:43:58.000 Not really that—but it's better than it was before, you know?
01:44:01.000 Like, we didn't increase our militarism as exponentially as we were before, so, I mean, I don't know.
01:44:07.000 Yeah, small wins, I guess, in some ways, but still, you know, there's work to be done.
01:44:12.000 Joseph says Vivek is calling out the investment market.
01:44:16.000 That enough.
01:44:17.000 Duh.
01:44:17.000 Follow the money.
01:44:19.000 I like Viva Veik.
01:44:21.000 Viva Veik?
01:44:22.000 Sounds dope.
01:44:24.000 The nerdy beekeeper says calling Vivek the right-wing Obama insults Vivek.
01:44:31.000 As a corollary, it makes sense though.
01:44:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:44:34.000 Well, yeah, Obama's evil and Vivek is good.
01:44:37.000 So there you go.
01:44:38.000 N.E.
01:44:38.000 Knight says, Vivek has Jordan Peterson keeping him honest.
01:44:41.000 It was a deal they made on Peterson's podcast months ago.
01:44:44.000 It is really awesome to see this meteoric rise of Vivek.
01:44:47.000 We had him on when we were in, where were we?
01:44:50.000 Arizona.
01:44:50.000 Arizona, that's right.
01:44:51.000 He came on the show.
01:44:53.000 That was really cool.
01:44:54.000 He had those books.
01:44:55.000 Really excited to see.
01:44:56.000 I think it would be great if he was VP.
01:44:59.000 That'd be really, really awesome.
01:45:00.000 And considering the serious defense he's had for Donald Trump over all this BS, I think it's a strong possibility.
01:45:08.000 Because he's showing himself to be worthy of running, proving himself as a capable orator, speaker, you know, he's got good policies, he's honest, he's got integrity, and he's also...
01:45:20.000 Defending Trump where Trump rightly should be defended.
01:45:22.000 something Ron DeSantis should have done. And given like Trump's policies and the way that his base
01:45:28.000 sees him, he would be a much more realistic successor if Trump was to win. Like if the
01:45:34.000 idea was that Pence was supposed to be the one to succeed him after Trump won a second term,
01:45:39.000 I don't think anyone was buying that. People would buy Vivek winning after Trump left office.
01:45:45.000 Vivek said he will not run for vice president, that he's running for president.
01:45:50.000 He said that.
01:45:51.000 I loved it because he was like, some people are just not wired that way.
01:45:53.000 Can you imagine a Vice President Trump?
01:45:55.000 It's like very hard, very difficult.
01:45:57.000 KB says, Tim, pipe dream.
01:45:59.000 But what you guys think about the scenario where Trump ekes out a popular vote win and the electoral compact states auto trip to red.
01:46:07.000 Everyone on our side must vote this time since the D's made it matter now.
01:46:11.000 But the electoral compact is not in play.
01:46:13.000 It has not been activated.
01:46:15.000 Still, we definitely want every single person to vote.
01:46:20.000 Yep.
01:46:20.000 So, shift those numbers, man.
01:46:24.000 Alistair Vucin says, YouTube won't let me say what I want to SuperChat, even though it's verifiably within their rules, so here's 20 bucks for doing an excellent job.
01:46:32.000 Well, thank you very much.
01:46:34.000 Kai L says, 561 is the Palm Beach area code.
01:46:37.000 Is that what Trump was secretly doing?
01:46:41.000 Gary says, it's Vivek like cake.
01:46:43.000 Why is it so hard?
01:46:44.000 LOL.
01:46:45.000 Dude.
01:46:45.000 And we've had people on the show who will say Vivek 20 times and we'll say it's Vivek.
01:46:49.000 And they'll go, Oh, okay.
01:46:50.000 But Vivek is really great.
01:46:51.000 It just feels right.
01:46:53.000 I don't know.
01:46:53.000 I'd say Vivek, but I've heard Vivek a million times as well.
01:46:56.000 It's also really hard to like do a show where someone says Vivek and then we stop the conversation and go, it's pronounced Vivek.
01:47:02.000 Yeah.
01:47:03.000 I really feel like he probably doesn't even really care.
01:47:05.000 He doesn't.
01:47:06.000 He just introduces himself, he's like, it's Vivek, like cake.
01:47:08.000 Oh, okay.
01:47:09.000 And then he's like, but people call me whatever.
01:47:10.000 Yeah.
01:47:11.000 You know, if people called me Tom, I'd just be like, okay, whatever, I guess.
01:47:14.000 Whatever makes you happy, I suppose.
01:47:16.000 Whatever makes you happy.
01:47:19.000 Vegas woman says, does your state owe you money?
01:47:21.000 Do an unclaimed funds search for your state.
01:47:24.000 Search your name and check if money is owed to you.
01:47:26.000 You're welcome.
01:47:27.000 I did this before.
01:47:27.000 Have you guys ever done this?
01:47:28.000 No.
01:47:29.000 I got like, I got like 80 bucks or something.
01:47:31.000 I'm about to do it.
01:47:31.000 Yeah.
01:47:32.000 Something happened with, uh, what happened was a bank closed and I had like 20 bucks in the account.
01:47:38.000 So the money didn't go anywhere.
01:47:40.000 And then somehow it ended up with the state.
01:47:42.000 The state had my name on it and said, you can claim it.
01:47:43.000 You got to put in your information.
01:47:45.000 And then they mailed me the check and I was like, what?
01:47:47.000 But it was like, it was like two or three different checks.
01:47:49.000 There was one where it was like an unclaimed tax refund or something that I never knew about.
01:47:55.000 Yeah, someone told me to go look for it and then I was like, well, I won't be surprised if I go there right now, actually.
01:48:00.000 And I find that I got a bunch of money.
01:48:04.000 Yeah, it'd be worth it.
01:48:08.000 What did you say to search for?
01:48:10.000 Unclaimed funds?
01:48:12.000 Yeah, unclaimed funds.
01:48:13.000 Is everyone doing it right now?
01:48:14.000 Search for your state.
01:48:16.000 Unclaimed funds.
01:48:18.000 I got too many states to search.
01:48:20.000 USA.gov, money and credit, how to find unclaimed money.
01:48:23.000 Seems like a great way to get your identity stolen.
01:48:26.000 Yeah, why do they want my current information?
01:48:28.000 What do they want?
01:48:28.000 Why do they want to know my social security number, please?
01:48:31.000 Questionable.
01:48:32.000 You can also, so I looked up Maryland.
01:48:34.000 It's like, buy unclaimed property.
01:48:37.000 It's like, oh, okay.
01:48:38.000 I've heard stories.
01:48:39.000 I think NPR ran a story a long time ago about a homeless man who basically created a business doing this for people, like looking up where their money was from.
01:48:48.000 And then people would be like, well, okay, like you're giving me $100 I'll give you five just for doing that and this is like one of the ways his side hustle.
01:48:57.000 I can't remember where this story goes other than the fact that he did this.
01:49:00.000 I don't know what happened to him.
01:49:01.000 It's the end of my anecdote.
01:49:03.000 Justin G says, I can't wait for the aliens aren't real conspiracy theories to start once the government says they're real.
01:49:11.000 Now we're at the point where like Joe Rogan is gonna be on his show and he's gonna be like, yeah dude I just don't think that aliens are real because the government's always lying and then Daily Beast is gonna be like, conspiracy brain Joe Rogan thinks the alien hearing was fake.
01:49:24.000 Sometimes I feel like they want to reclaim the word alien so people stop saying illegal alien when they talk about illegal immigrants.
01:49:31.000 He doesn't believe in the Roswell Commission report.
01:49:34.000 That Bob Lazar was full of it the whole time.
01:49:39.000 Taking Taking Back Toxic says aliens would want nothing to do with humans.
01:49:44.000 Humans would do the naughty with their kids and steal their stuff
01:49:46.000 There was some great memes It was like the X-Files poster.
01:49:54.000 I want to believe it was like I wanted to believe aliens are real until the government said they were.
01:49:58.000 Yeah.
01:50:00.000 You have to wonder, like, the aliens are so great, why haven't they shown up by now?
01:50:04.000 They don't need the U.S.
01:50:04.000 government's permission.
01:50:06.000 And why is it always the U.S.?
01:50:07.000 This is never happening in other countries, it's always here.
01:50:09.000 Yeah, it happened in Brazil all that time ago.
01:50:12.000 Alright, Jadrick Penifer says, regarding Nibiru, it originates from Zechariah Sitchin.
01:50:16.000 He found the reference in ancient Sumerian tablets, but only he could translate them, and he wouldn't let anyone else corroborate his translations.
01:50:24.000 He was the poster child.
01:50:26.000 Source, trust me, bro.
01:50:27.000 I'm pretty sure you're talking about, uh... Joseph Smith, right?
01:50:30.000 Yeah, Joseph Smith.
01:50:31.000 Sounds like a Joseph Smith thing.
01:50:31.000 Read it on golden plates.
01:50:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:50:34.000 But that may actually be true, I don't know.
01:50:36.000 I've heard that name, Zechariah Sitchin, before.
01:50:38.000 Yeah, I think it was a guy who translated some of the Samaritan stuff.
01:50:42.000 Dude, you know, the early 2000s internet was like the best thing ever.
01:50:46.000 Yeah.
01:50:46.000 You'd just find the craziest websites full of just garbled, insane nonsense.
01:50:50.000 It was just awesome.
01:50:51.000 Amazing.
01:50:52.000 All those forum posts.
01:50:53.000 I found some old website about Denver Airport back in the day, and it's like this really, it's like Comic Sans, and just like, it's got a Hulk Hogan gif dancing.
01:51:02.000 Papyrus text.
01:51:03.000 Yeah, yeah, all that stuff.
01:51:05.000 Good old days.
01:51:05.000 I like that the Denver Airport has started, at least on Instagram, acknowledging the Denver Airport conspiracies, because they just get so many comments about it.
01:51:13.000 What do they call the horse?
01:51:15.000 Do you guys know the name?
01:51:16.000 Uh, Blucifer.
01:51:17.000 Blucifer, yeah.
01:51:21.000 Did they turn that into merch?
01:51:22.000 They could turn that into so much merch.
01:51:24.000 They really should.
01:51:26.000 And the horse killed the guy who made it, right?
01:51:27.000 Yeah, the artist that made it.
01:51:29.000 And then he had to finish it without him.
01:51:30.000 Like, questionable.
01:51:31.000 I think the Denver Airport, at least on Instagram, they have some really funny stuff about being like...
01:51:36.000 Thank you guys for stopping by.
01:51:37.000 But they could lean into it.
01:51:39.000 I think then they'd be like, please stop.
01:51:45.000 Like, we don't want to admit that there's anything here.
01:51:47.000 My favorite was that I guess there are a lot of Chipotles in Denver and someone was like, oh, well, that's because you think it's because it was founded here, but actually it's because They all ultimately have underground tunnels where they store extra rice and beans.
01:51:59.000 So when the elites have to move into the Denver airport, they'll have access to food.
01:52:03.000 That wouldn't make sense as to why they sell the food to people.
01:52:06.000 They just sell it as a front to continue to order tons of supplies to put on layovers.
01:52:11.000 I just, I, you know it'd be a fun show, a show where all of these conspiracy theories are real.
01:52:16.000 So like, Nibiru is real, and there are aliens that are coming to Earth because they want gold, but the Earth is flat.
01:52:22.000 It's also hollow.
01:52:23.000 So like, there are deep underground tunnels that go into a hollow Earth, and Earth is just this disc-like shell.
01:52:29.000 You know, just all of them at once.
01:52:31.000 I think that'd be great.
01:52:34.000 And the way you get into the center of the Earth is through the North Pole.
01:52:36.000 There's a hole there, apparently.
01:52:38.000 Where Santa hangs out and guards it.
01:52:40.000 I think this is a good idea.
01:52:41.000 I actually like Hollow Earth, just as a fun conspiracy.
01:52:44.000 Hollow Earth?
01:52:45.000 Yeah, I don't believe it, but it's just as a friggin' conspiracy for me, it's like... But it's not a conspiracy, right?
01:52:50.000 You know what I mean?
01:52:50.000 Yeah, I guess technically it's just... What do you call it?
01:52:52.000 Yeah, I don't know what you'd call it.
01:52:53.000 I mean, I guess technically people would have to conspire to keep that secret, so I guess you kind of, by technicality... A fringe theory?
01:52:57.000 A fringe theory, yeah.
01:52:58.000 But then a conspiracy theory, that's a different, a conspiracy theory then would be the government keeping a secret about Hollow Earth, when the idea that the Earth could be hollow, maybe no one even knows.
01:53:07.000 I mean, there's a lot to the Operation High Jump story, too, if people want to dig into it, but... Was that during... Was that in the 1800s or something?
01:53:12.000 No, I think it was, uh, what, like, World War II, roughly?
01:53:15.000 Isn't High Jump, like, the Nazi one where they have a place on the moon?
01:53:18.000 No, it's on the South Pole.
01:53:20.000 It's Antarctica.
01:53:20.000 South Pole, that's right.
01:53:22.000 There was a legit operation that occurred there, but it's like, people spiral out different theories from what happened, because they came back... Because they had that place on an alert in Canada.
01:53:31.000 Oh, yeah, 1946.
01:53:32.000 It's wild.
01:53:33.000 It's a crazy story.
01:53:34.000 So establish the Antarctic Research Base Little America 4.
01:53:37.000 Haha, yeah.
01:53:41.000 A lot of people go into Hollow Earth with that one.
01:53:43.000 Like, oh, he found Hollow Earth.
01:53:45.000 He found the entrance.
01:53:46.000 I see.
01:53:48.000 Would you go in to Hollow Earth?
01:53:50.000 I would go in.
01:53:51.000 You would?
01:53:51.000 Yeah.
01:53:51.000 That's where the natural environment is.
01:53:52.000 And they don't like humans, so... How do you know?
01:53:55.000 Yeah, what if they're not aliens?
01:53:56.000 What if the UFOs are like... You know, we build these submarines and go down to the water.
01:54:00.000 What if there's just, like, Hollow Earth denizens that create ships to come up and, like, explore the surface?
01:54:06.000 And could you imagine how shocking it would be?
01:54:09.000 If you lived inside this big sphere, this big dome with like some kind of energy source in the middle or whatever, and then you're like, how could anything possibly survive outside of this?
01:54:17.000 It's like, there's nothing there.
01:54:18.000 And then they finally go on an expedition and they say, people, and they're like, they go back in and they tell everybody, there are people on the outside of this, and they're like, that's impossible, they'd fall off.
01:54:28.000 There's no way.
01:54:29.000 You crazy conspiracy theorists.
01:54:33.000 Conspiracies.
01:54:35.000 Captain Von Eric says, anything Trump might have done versus state governors giving the okay to non-American policing Americans, which is worse.
01:54:43.000 Yep.
01:54:44.000 Certainly.
01:54:45.000 Certainly.
01:54:45.000 Leon Yoder says, Republicans are honorable people and they want to play by the rules, but as Carpe Danktum axed today, you cannot compromise your way into a winning position against an opponent who doesn't value compromise or fair play ever.
01:54:58.000 That is correct.
01:54:59.000 I hate this verb X. I just want that on record.
01:55:03.000 Tweet is better.
01:55:03.000 Why don't you X about it?
01:55:04.000 I will not.
01:55:06.000 It says like repost now rather than retweet.
01:55:09.000 I love that.
01:55:10.000 I hate it!
01:55:10.000 Why are we ruining something?
01:55:12.000 They still won't change the Twitter movies account.
01:55:15.000 What?
01:55:16.000 Yeah.
01:55:16.000 Because it can't be X movies.
01:55:21.000 So and also Twitter spaces are X spaces now.
01:55:23.000 Not to be confused with space X.
01:55:27.000 This doesn't- like, Elon, what are we doing?
01:55:29.000 It's masterful!
01:55:30.000 It's brilliant!
01:55:30.000 He just recycles the logo and just turns the logo around.
01:55:33.000 I do like this thing where he's like, you're all gonna comply- like he could have been like, oh it's Twitter X and then like slowly rolled it out, but instead he was like, it's X and you all have to deal with it.
01:55:42.000 I like it this way.
01:55:44.000 I had to have a conversation with my wife that like, hey, you're about to see a bill that says, X, I want you to be clear what this is.
01:55:50.000 Please do not be concerned.
01:55:53.000 Oh man.
01:55:57.000 I hope that lots of husbands have had that conversation.
01:56:00.000 It took a while to dawn on me.
01:56:00.000 I was like, oh!
01:56:03.000 Alright, James Richard says, Congress has the power to coin money.
01:56:06.000 The Federal Reserve is a private company.
01:56:08.000 Not only is that fraud, but against the Constitution.
01:56:11.000 If it's not Congress coining money, then Congress has no liability.
01:56:16.000 Oh, wow.
01:56:17.000 Samu Rai says, is this the same Lizzo that played Madison's flute?
01:56:21.000 Correct.
01:56:22.000 The one and only Lizzo.
01:56:25.000 We are, we are not pleased.
01:56:28.000 All right, what do we got?
01:56:29.000 A Green Clover says, yesterday's show was the first I missed in a while, live, and you talked about drones, which I've been doing for 10 years.
01:56:37.000 Yeah, we talked about, uh, uh, the drone in, uh, drone stuff in Moscow.
01:56:41.000 Yeah, crazy stuff, man.
01:56:43.000 And it's only going to get crazier because they're cheaper and cheaper to produce and, uh, very scary.
01:56:48.000 Yeah.
01:56:49.000 Senay says, there was a huge monopoly on the light bulb industry.
01:56:52.000 The owners of these companies all came together and agreed to make light bulbs that didn't last long.
01:56:56.000 Look into it, it's crazy messed up.
01:56:57.000 I've heard the story.
01:56:58.000 Apparently the first light bulb ever made has been on forever and it's in a firehouse in New York City.
01:57:04.000 And then they were just like, yeah, but if we sell these, everyone will just have them.
01:57:07.000 So what do we do?
01:57:08.000 And then I was reading like these, the woke people came out and said, did you know the light bulb was actually invented by a black man?
01:57:13.000 And it's because the filament used in the light bulb was made by a black scientist who never received credit.
01:57:19.000 And then I was like, wait, are you talking about the planned obsolescence?
01:57:23.000 Like the light bulbs that were intended to fail he invented?
01:57:25.000 Because now I'm kind of pissed.
01:57:26.000 I feel like you don't want to take credit for that one.
01:57:28.000 I feel like that's not as cool as you think it is.
01:57:31.000 It's like the guy who invented the super soaker finally got credit like 20 years later.
01:57:34.000 That doesn't have planned obsolescence, does it?
01:57:38.000 I don't know.
01:57:39.000 It's a fun fact.
01:57:41.000 Brian Bircher says GE closed its last incandescent bulb operation a few years ago.
01:57:45.000 It was in Winchester, Virginia.
01:57:47.000 Oh, really?
01:57:48.000 Right up the road from Tim and cost a number of local jobs.
01:57:51.000 Yeah, we hang out in Winchester all the time.
01:57:53.000 Super close.
01:57:53.000 Like, I don't know, it's like 45 minutes or something.
01:57:56.000 At the most.
01:57:57.000 Yeah, they have a good Mexican restaurant.
01:57:59.000 Yeah, and I love their old downtown.
01:58:01.000 Yeah, they have like a retro gaming place.
01:58:03.000 I bought a bunch of video games from like Nintendo.
01:58:05.000 Good spot.
01:58:06.000 And I love the library.
01:58:07.000 The Hanley library is gorgeous.
01:58:09.000 Mojave says, unequivocally, bears built Stonehenge.
01:58:12.000 Seriously.
01:58:13.000 Maybe with the Alcubierre warp drive, utilizing vacuum flux faster than light travel could be possible.
01:58:20.000 Stonehenge was collapsed, and then they, like, people rebuilt it.
01:58:24.000 Yeah, they were like, let's make this a thing.
01:58:26.000 I like conspiracies or fringe theories that bring in bears.
01:58:30.000 I feel like we should give bears more to do.
01:58:32.000 They should have a bigger starring role in all of our narratives.
01:58:35.000 I feel like that's fun.
01:58:36.000 Twud be fun.
01:58:39.000 Twud.
01:58:40.000 You heard it here first.
01:58:41.000 T'would be.
01:58:42.000 T'would be.
01:58:42.000 No, that was a bit from Norm Macdonald.
01:58:45.000 He was like, t'was?
01:58:47.000 You're shortening it was?
01:58:48.000 It's not even that hard to say.
01:58:49.000 T'was?
01:58:51.000 That's a good one.
01:58:52.000 T'was the night before Christmas.
01:58:54.000 What do we have?
01:58:56.000 RB Play says, what do you believe will happen if they actually put Trump in prison?
01:58:59.000 I believe it might be chaos on a level we've never seen before.
01:59:02.000 I don't think Trump supporters go out and start smashing and riding.
01:59:05.000 No.
01:59:05.000 I think that putting Trump in prison destabilizes the market.
01:59:09.000 In such a way that it causes crisis in people's 401ks and pension.
01:59:13.000 Inflation would be out of control and they'd have to desperately try to clamp it down.
01:59:17.000 But the uncertainty of putting Trump in prison on the elections would make investors panic and leave and go invest in something else with BRICS now making their big announcement about expansion and their gold-backed currency.
01:59:29.000 It's the stupidest thing imaginable you could do.
01:59:32.000 And then when that happens, people will riot over not having food.
01:59:35.000 Sorry, also, am I missing something?
01:59:37.000 If they put Trump in prison, would they also have to station him with a bunch of Secret Service agents?
01:59:41.000 Like, how would they do that?
01:59:42.000 How could they actually facilitate having him in prison?
01:59:47.000 That's why it seems like, for whatever reason, the only When I went to become a secret service agent, I never thought I'd have to eat prison food.
01:59:54.000 wins 2024.
01:59:55.000 Because I don't know how the system survives.
01:59:59.000 Can you imagine being a secret service agent that has to go to prison with Trump?
02:00:03.000 They just rotate out a new guy every night.
02:00:05.000 I mean, it's like going to work.
02:00:06.000 Yeah, but like then you have to go in and out of the prison system, like instead of
02:00:09.000 being like, oh, we're traveling the world, we're doing whatever.
02:00:12.000 It's like the worst.
02:00:13.000 When I went to become a secret service agent, I never thought I'd have to eat prison food.
02:00:17.000 I thought I'd be just hanging out in Delaware with Joe Biden.
02:00:21.000 You would go to a minimum security prison where he'd wear a polo and khakis and golf
02:00:27.000 I feel like he wouldn't go to prison.
02:00:28.000 I feel like that's not gonna happen.
02:00:29.000 No, right.
02:00:29.000 It's not gonna happen.
02:00:30.000 Be like on house arrest from Mar-a-Lago with the internet for the rest of his life.
02:00:33.000 It would destabilize the U.S.
02:00:34.000 economy in a way they couldn't predict.
02:00:38.000 I also think it would make a lot of people that are kind of on the fence about it, that don't necessarily believe Trump is this evil person, and if you don't vote for him, are gonna be like, this is insane.
02:00:45.000 Like, this is, it's like jumping the shark, you know?
02:00:47.000 Alright, one more super chat.
02:00:49.000 Marshall Polican says, you just described the show Inside Job on Netflix.
02:00:53.000 First of all, that show was cancelled.
02:00:54.000 Second of all, it was a very poorly written comedy that had only like one funny joke that I liked, and it's where the mushroom guy from Hollow Earth said that he was doing drugs with Joe Rogan but couldn't handle it, or something like that.
02:01:04.000 But I'm talking about a serious Game of Thrones style show.
