00:01:50.000The revolutionaries, the commies, said, hey, religious clerics, can you just hold a spot in the government while we go fight these bad guys?
00:02:36.000And then there's the Yalbos, the dead-end Yobs, the working class blue-collar dudes.
00:02:42.000And these guys are giving me a lot of hope that they can get these guys to at least move out of the way while we go and address some pedophile problems.
00:02:52.000Seems pretty reasonable to me, does it not?
00:02:54.000Tommy Robinson is in jail for being rude to pedophiles.
00:03:00.000And you often hear cases over there of some Muslim getting released early or not getting a tough sentence because he didn't understand the culture or he didn't understand the language.
00:03:14.000By the way, the first thing you do when you land anywhere is you learn yes, no.
00:03:18.000I mean, you go to the Russian airport and you're like, I need to know yes and no before I get off this plane because I'm going to be raping some Russians and I want to know if they don't like it.
00:03:28.000Joshly, Joshly, are you saying faster?
00:06:14.000Now, we've got a new mana at the helm right now.
00:06:18.000When I was looking for a new producer after Dave Cass got scooped by Fox News, I was thinking, I want someone who's just like me, but smarter.
00:06:29.000Like I want to clone myself, but be good at technical stuff.
00:10:02.000And you don't need like my equipment or you don't need 3D printing.
00:10:05.000What we've won here is a license, really like the latitude for anybody to share the data related to any type of gun to make it in any way that they want.
00:10:14.000So this is a victory across all channels, right?
00:10:51.000You're sort of like the Hammonds there, the Ranchers, where they eventually won, although they only won because Trump pardoned them.
00:10:58.000But the Ranchers, the Hammonds was a case of the state not wanting someone to thrive and then using the law to their advantage to shut those people down.
00:11:06.000And up until very recently, they were successful.
00:11:10.000I did this research on all the deaths around Hillary.
00:11:12.000And as I was doing it, there was like four or five that I just couldn't explain away.
00:11:17.000And I started getting scared as I was doing the research because I thought, am I appearing now on some like, beep, beep, beep, beep, someone's getting too close.
00:11:26.000You're going up against the whole government and their whole obsession with guns.
00:11:31.000There's so many unfinished rooms and loopholes in large bureaucratic organizations where even at this point, the DOJ attorneys themselves don't really understand the arguments that are being made, right?
00:11:43.000This is the consequence of building something so large and terrible in its power.
00:11:46.000When you become such a specialist as I, even the judges don't know what you're talking about after a certain point.
00:12:05.000Because it comes down to you saying, look, I want to make a little piece of steel that has three circles in the middle and one little divot at the top and a hole in the bottom third of it.
00:12:56.000They did something similar, not even remotely similar, actually.
00:12:58.000They did something in the same universe In Canada, where they said, let's just register every gun.
00:13:03.000And so it cost, I don't know, I think $7 million.
00:13:06.000And all these farmers show up with their 22s and they're writing it all down.
00:13:09.000And they slowly realize, we don't have the bandwidth to track all these guns.
00:13:15.000We have bitten off more than we can chew.
00:13:17.000Now, that's a tiny, tiny fraction of what they're threatening you with.
00:13:21.000This was, frankly, this was my intuition from the beginning.
00:13:25.000I don't claim to be an especially intelligent person either, but it was that could a police power like they were suggesting those years ago really become real?
00:13:33.000And I think the key to this case was being willing to challenge that power to become real because I didn't think that they really meant it to.
00:13:40.000And I think facts are bearing out my intuition.
00:14:58.000You know, I'm not sure about the unit economics, but there are plenty of our customers who've decided to go into business and themselves become licensed manufacturer dealers, whatever.
00:15:57.000You've thrown that molly into the water supply.
00:16:01.000Look, you should have seen how absurd some of this got.
00:16:04.000We were literally in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals arguing about, well, if someone comes to a public library and checks out what I have in a book, how is that different from download?
00:16:12.000You know, it was getting to some real angels on the heads of needles arguments.
00:16:19.000You were pretty smart to realize it's going to end up there because I guess when you sit back, you sit in a lazier chair, you smoke a joint, you kind of inevitably end up at that conclusion, no matter which way you slice it.
00:16:32.000I think if you hang around on the internet enough, like I know you and I have, you begin to understand things from an internet-centric point of view.
00:16:38.000And you understand that these social effects and mass media effects cut in particular ways.
00:16:43.000And so, yeah, it just seemed obvious to me.
00:16:45.000Maybe I wouldn't win because I'm particularly objectionable.
00:16:48.000But no matter even if I lost in court, ultimately the internet would serve gun files for people.
00:17:14.000Well, remember, like all good lawyers would answer, the answer depends on your laws state by state.
00:17:20.000Not every state has the same laws about homemade guns, but for the most part, the 50 states have nothing to say about the fact that you made a gun for yourself.
00:17:27.000So the question is often a question of federal law.
00:17:30.000And that question is usually, if you have the right to own the type of gun that you made, like if you had the right, you weren't a felon and you could own a semi-automatic AK-47, then without question, you have the right to also make a semi-automatic AK-47.
00:17:44.000So if I live in Manhattan and I have an AR-15, they don't care if I bought it or I made it, I'm in big trouble.
00:17:50.000Even so, in New York, there's the SAFE Act.
00:17:52.000So as long as your AR is SAFACT compliant, this is often a feature test.
00:17:56.000I have to remember to tell people, I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice.
00:18:02.000As long as your AR is SAFE Act or whatever, jurisdictionally compliant, even so, you can still maintain that weapon.
00:18:08.000Because owning an AR-15 in Manhattan is, you're in big, big trouble.
00:18:12.000Or owning a handgun in Manhattan is a huge deal.
00:18:16.000I have people that own our equipment and use it in Manhattan.
00:18:19.000Manhattan only cares about its particular adjustments for what your gun can look like.
00:18:26.000This is a compromise we've made with gun control over the years.
00:18:29.000California, New York, Massachusetts, they've all got their own ways of saying, well, this is the legal configuration of this gun that you can have.
00:18:36.000It looks sometimes grotesque and different from how I would configure it in Texas, but essentially you still have the same gun.
00:22:25.000When you hand over your autonomy to the police, to the government, to the local park ranger, what you're saying is, don't leave me to my own devices.
00:23:26.000If you've seen the Puerto Rican Day parade in New York, you know that they are definitely not living in fear.
00:23:31.000In fact, the cops are living in fear of that parade.
00:23:33.000It's one of their least favorite gigs is the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
00:23:38.000But anyway, this guy comes up to her and he yells, because this is America.
00:23:42.000Now, they love that this is filmed because the left loves using this as fodder to justify the myth that we're living in a horrible racist country.
00:23:49.000So some dumb, drunk old man yelling his head off about something he misunderstands.
00:23:54.000I wouldn't be surprised, by the way, if this guy thinks it's a Cuba shirt because the flags are alarmingly similar.
00:26:40.000Like, I'm not going to fault Puerto Ricans for having Puerto Rican pride, but I do get kind of annoyed when I see someone have more allegiance to a different country, which Puerto Rico is not, by the way.
00:26:51.000But say Mexico, Cuba, you know, when you go to a bar in America and there's a soccer game going on between America and whoever, I don't think anyone else should be rooting for the whoevers unless they're tourists there on a vacation.
00:27:10.000And I believe that is the semblance of logic that he has taken and then blown way out of proportion because he doesn't know anything about Puerto Rico and American territories.
00:31:31.000Well, the other question is, and we're opening a Pandora's box at the end of the show, but the other thing is, do you judge someone by what they could get?
00:34:11.000Like, you know, when they have, they reenact fashion shoots and they'll have, we took this Gucci ad campaign and we brought fat chicks to it and airbrushed them and look how gorgeous they are.
00:34:24.000So if you had some like male model dude for Givenchy and he was posing like this and then me and my buddies did the exact same poses, it would be called hilarious.
00:34:35.000And you would rightfully be laughing your heads off at me and my fat friends just like leaning on a rock with the water shooting off our fat just going, ah, given she.
00:36:58.000So when you're going, aha, I have an afro, I don't know who you're talking to, Tom Ford, the gay community, because we have almost no rules.
00:37:06.000Our rules are be attractive enough that my friends don't make fun of me.
00:37:11.000And don't be so fat that if you wear a belt, you can't see the belt.
00:38:46.000Like, you know, dog fights where these fraternities will get the ugliest chick they can to come and they take them to dinner and they all laugh their heads off in the bathroom at how good you are at getting the ugliest girl in town.
