Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 137 — $20 Burritos？ Is Vacation Overrated？

00:00:00.000 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:02.480 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:04.840 The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:08.760 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:22.540 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.

00:00:25.340 Tonight's edition of Thought Crime.

00:00:28.120 And we're here in our normally stated, wonderfully capitalist, wonderfully flowing with milk

00:00:38.860 and honey confines here to do the show.

00:00:43.840 And of course, we haven't had any trouble at all lately causing freak outs all over

00:00:49.600 the internet, whether it be Saturday night, the number one streaming for the entire weekend,

00:00:54.020 then then a massive war going all over social media all heck has broken loose let's see what's

00:01:01.880 going on who do we have here today i wear this wow against my will wow i was just given this

00:01:13.060 what are you guys talking about you're wearing glorious sombreros i feel like you're making fun

00:01:18.640 wear every week on this show it's so funny the internet thinks i'm jewish i'm just quarter

00:01:23.900 mexican aren't those the same fact a quarter mexican nope they're not but we are talking

00:01:33.060 about burrito why are we talking about burritos also why are three of us wearing sombreros

00:01:40.040 and mikey is i have one it's got a little head you have to wear it fine you have to wear that

00:01:46.280 You have to wear the sombrero.

00:01:47.540 You can't even tell that this is it, because I have yellow.

00:01:50.060 Okay, here.

00:01:50.540 I'm taking mine off.

00:01:51.380 Didn't we have more than two of the big ones from before?

00:01:56.680 I think this is a perfectly reasonable distribution of sombrero.

00:02:00.520 We have equal distribution.

00:02:03.420 It's not the size of a sombrero.

00:02:05.600 It's how you wear it.

00:02:06.740 It's what you do with it.

00:02:07.280 Equal distribution.

00:02:08.080 So for those that are going to listen to this, eventually we are wearing sombreros.

00:02:11.640 Anyways.

00:02:12.580 Well, all of us, except Mikey, who only has a tiny little baby sombrero.

00:02:16.100 Do you have a one-fifth of a sombrero?

00:02:18.680 Again, again.

00:02:19.700 I need sombrero reparations. 0.98

00:02:20.800 You guys are too obsessed with size maxing on your sombrero.

00:02:24.200 This is the socialist sombrero.

00:02:25.560 You'll be happy with less.

00:02:27.240 You will love it.

00:02:28.440 Sombrero maxing.

00:02:30.100 All right, so why are we talking?

00:02:31.400 I don't know what we're talking about this for.

00:02:33.940 Nobody's talking about burritos.

00:02:34.680 Well, we should probably talk about burritos.

00:02:37.200 Yes.

00:02:37.880 I did a thing by accident.

00:02:40.020 I accidentally caused a conversation.

00:02:43.460 You know, Jack, you're the Twitter expert.

00:02:46.000 why did this why did this go viral well so it's it's funny so right so like all last week i made

00:02:51.960 the comment um attacking like crony capitalism last week on the show and we were going for kevin

00:02:58.660 o'leary and that became that like people freaked out and that became like this huge trend and then

00:03:05.800 andrew you kind of waded in and if i would say like in in a very similar vein with this tweet

00:03:12.180 about a burrito shouldn't cost $20.

00:03:14.960 And yes, the very same people

00:03:16.980 who were losing their minds at me,

00:03:18.720 largely neocons,

00:03:20.300 were all starting to attack you.

00:03:24.660 I didn't feel that attacked.

00:03:26.440 I didn't feel very attacked.

00:03:27.780 I felt, there was like so much backup.

00:03:29.680 You're just saying like a burrito shouldn't cost $20.

00:03:33.100 And this is something.

00:03:34.480 Well, I blame Biden inflation.

00:03:36.900 Again, just to say right from the very start

00:03:40.000 that people need to remember

00:03:41.840 that the the original co-host of the show charlie kirk was some this was a topic that he talked

00:03:49.840 about at great length throughout all of 2025 did his sit-down interview with with tucker and was

00:03:58.940 walking through all the problems that young americans are facing and specifically outlined

00:04:03.480 it by saying that if we want to prevent the rise of mandami style candidates then we need to

00:04:11.120 actually address the economic concerns of young americans and from from my perspective that's all

00:04:17.760 that i was saying from uh from your perspective it seems to be in line with what you were saying

00:04:22.800 about burritos obviously because charlie would listen to those same turning point students and

00:04:29.280 college students that would come up at events and different things and he was hearing their

00:04:33.360 concerns and bringing it forward that's where charlie got it from so when you're saying one

00:04:38.240 One of our college students at Turning Point said that to me, it's like, well, yeah, that's exactly what Charlie was talking about.

00:04:43.420 This type of stuff or the buy now, pay later, et cetera, that that, you know, I learned that from BNPL.

00:04:49.660 You know, I learned that from listening to Charlie.

00:04:51.520 And so just meeting people where they are.

00:04:54.440 And boy, oh, boy, did the neocons freak out.

00:04:58.080 Yeah. So I just want to make one thing really clear.

00:05:00.360 I did not actually feel very attacked.

00:05:02.680 I mean, Mark Thiessen came after me, I guess.

00:05:04.960 Cry me a river. Do we have that tweet?

00:05:06.840 he did attack you

00:05:08.980 your burritos are included in the meal plan

00:05:12.920 and I'm like are they

00:05:14.620 like

00:05:15.000 guys I just want to know we're getting

00:05:18.420 criticism from the chat that Andrew

00:05:20.300 and Mikey are not showing

00:05:22.360 commitment to the bed

00:05:23.200 keep the hat on

00:05:25.600 that's what they're saying 0.66

00:05:26.480 I have more Mexican in my little finger than you will ever have in your head 1.00

00:05:30.360 I know 1.00

00:05:31.100 that's why you should put it on

00:05:32.580 a quarter of you

00:05:34.220 Andrew, a quarter of you is fighting against the other three-quarters of you.

00:05:37.580 I am mostly English and Irish.

00:05:39.940 I will have the world know. 1.00

00:05:41.140 Wow, English, Irish, Mexicans. 0.70

00:05:43.020 You're like, but my one arm is drawn to the sombrero. 1.00

00:05:47.020 There we go.

00:05:47.740 It's all right in the world.

00:05:48.580 Gosh, I look so much better than you guys in it.

00:05:50.960 It's crazy.

00:05:51.660 I know.

00:05:51.940 It fits you.

00:05:52.920 It just fits, yes, because your people were designed for it.

00:05:54.580 It melts to my head.

00:05:55.020 It's like Arthur in the sword.

00:05:57.660 Exactly.

00:05:58.260 It's just meant for me.

00:05:59.060 Okay.

00:05:59.740 So I just want to say, I did not feel that attacked.

00:06:02.680 there were people that made valid points uh joel berry was like actually the first who i think

00:06:08.460 incidentally made it go viral so joel berry used to work at the babylon b i think now he's working

00:06:14.240 with jeremy boring on his show he quote tweeted me basically saying that he his wife paid for

00:06:23.420 all of dinner made dinner for what like a family of eight or something like that like they have a

00:06:27.540 big family i think with 20 bucks and i was like well first of all that's great love cooking for

00:06:33.640 home often much cheaper uh and much healthier but now when you tell me you cooked for a family

00:06:39.560 of eight or 20 bucks i'm wondering how like healthy that was yeah anyways so i mean i think

00:06:45.200 it was all like here's my point and we could throw up look at this look at how many headlines

00:06:50.920 have come out of this by the way 30 show up image 30 like this is like i had prop jack i probably

00:06:55.860 had 20 people 25 people just text me being like only thing on my scroll is burritos and i was

00:07:03.060 like dang what happened it's a very important literally all the only point i was making we

00:07:08.580 should um we should probably say that it was what what really took this into the stratosphere and i

00:07:15.740 think got a lot of the news involved was that um our our great vice president who's kind of been 0.93

00:07:23.420 He's been taking a little bit of a Twitter break, at least from his spiciness, if you will. 1.00

00:07:31.280 Yeah, he got into this. 1.00

00:07:32.500 He came after it.

00:07:33.280 He waited right in, and he said, so Mark Thiessen, who is, shall we say, horizontally challenged, he would say, I'm surprised to hear.

00:07:43.420 I think he's not horizontally challenged.

00:07:45.700 No, you're right.

00:07:47.700 He's horizontally gifted.

00:07:48.880 He's horizontally gifted.

00:07:50.380 Yes, he's horizontally gifted.

00:07:52.400 Horizontally gifted.

00:07:53.420 and he said i'm surprised to hear mark say this if you've ever met him in person it's quite obvious

00:07:57.820 the man has never missed a burrito we can talk about the viral thing guys we need to dive into

00:08:04.620 like the true deeper thought crime element which is how much should one spend for a burrito and i

00:08:11.080 was very appalled today to discover that for all this discussion on how much a burrito should cost

00:08:17.180 Andrew apparently tips at Chipotle, guys.

00:08:21.580 We need to confront this fact.

00:08:23.840 Listen, I have a heart for young Americans.

00:08:26.080 What's the problem?

00:08:26.600 They're not even, some of them aren't even young.

00:08:28.880 Well, I will tell you that doesn't impact my tip.

00:08:31.600 When I see a young person working hard at a fast food restaurant. 0.98

00:08:34.560 Other way around for me.

00:08:36.020 Oh, I'm like, I'm like, no. 0.56

00:08:37.420 Are you saying you don't tip if they're not American? 0.95

00:08:41.380 No, he only tips Mexicans because he only takes care of his own race. 0.92

00:08:46.180 If I could ask for their papers, I'd be like, Save America X. 0.93

00:08:52.420 Sorry. 0.99

00:08:52.780 No citizenship, no tip. 0.73

00:08:54.020 He says he only tips La Raza.

00:08:55.880 I actually only like to tip old people that I see.

00:08:59.060 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:59.940 Old people working at faster restaurants because I feel bad that they're not retired. 0.80

00:09:04.420 No, some of them like to work.

00:09:05.600 Here's the deal.

00:09:06.580 Hey, by the way, Jack, Mikey says I was not attacked.

00:09:10.520 I was praised.

00:09:11.960 I didn't see you really get attacked.

00:09:13.960 I had so much back.

00:09:15.360 i mean i got like no no no no no no it's not that you weren't there obviously there were a lot of

00:09:21.160 people who had your back myself included and many others in the comments but you were attacked by

00:09:25.780 the neocons that's what i'm saying is they launched an attack on you for saying this

00:09:29.460 believe that burritos became a proxy for iran burritos became a proxy for the iran war because

00:09:35.160 everybody who pushed the iran war was like pressures aren't that bad it's gonna be just

00:09:39.520 fine yeah and i'm like that's not even what i'm talking about i'm talking about covid era

00:09:44.500 inflation printing trillions of dollars and biden biden era inflation okay that's what i was talking

00:09:51.460 about because when you have 30 inflation stack up over like four years i'm sorry you're not going

00:09:56.360 to turn that titanic around in like on a dime it's going to take some time yeah the iran war

00:10:02.020 has not probably helped inflation it's caused a supply side shock on the energy side which is

00:10:07.540 inflated energy prices of course but those i believe those are temporary and we can get out

00:10:13.600 from under those especially we get a peace deal which i guess people like mark uh teason don't

00:10:18.360 want a peace deal they want a full regime change or something but like the point is i the fact that

00:10:24.380 it became a proxy jack for iran is absolutely stunning i actually think and i haven't thought

00:10:30.440 about this enough until this moment that the fact that they were so invested in that side of the

00:10:35.720 argument that they were like oh just get a meal plan and all you guys a bunch of babies you need

00:10:39.100 to cook from home and eat 399 burritos filled with fake meat like actually is a tell of how

00:10:44.680 insecure they are about yep iran yeah it is because they know it's unpopular they know that

00:10:51.080 people are you know are you know kind of are are up in arms about it um look i was down in

00:10:57.020 chattanooga last week at this conference with uh barnes and viva fry rich barris and people were

00:11:02.360 and there's like just a grassroots conference people from all over the country came in and

00:11:05.960 And people were coming up to me saying, what is going on with this?

00:11:08.800 Why are we doing this?

00:11:09.800 Why are we in Iran?

00:11:10.800 Where are the mass deportations? 1.00

00:11:12.240 That's what we thought we voted for. 0.77

00:11:13.780 Where's the golden age?

00:11:14.780 Why are prices on everything up?

00:11:16.980 And burritos just kind of became this convenient shorthand, I think, for a lot of that frustration.

00:11:23.300 And particularly, you could say it's anti-elite.

00:11:27.260 And for sure, Mark Taysen is obviously an elite.

00:11:30.140 And it's...

00:11:31.140 The memes on Mark are brutal.

00:11:32.480 You know, it's...

00:11:33.480 I may have...

00:11:34.480 Did you see 28?

00:11:35.480 28 did you see 28 i didn't see this until we did show prep but uh this which one mark uh this is uh

00:11:43.520 mark uh mark antoinette 28 uh marquia antoinette um yeah i'm not sure exactly who made this uh it

00:11:54.780 did appear on my twitter profile though um you know so it's you okay i mean let them fair enough

00:12:01.900 let them make burritos let them cook and it it does need to be said that every time i bring this

00:12:08.340 up that uh marie antoinette actually never said that and in fact she was actually known as a

00:12:12.900 woman of great charity at the time and uh the communists have have really just besmirched her

00:12:18.380 good name and uh you know she actually doesn't deserve that but but mark teeson does so that's

00:12:23.340 why it's there all right um yeah jd's tweet and then you know i was actually reacting okay so

00:12:29.180 So here, and you should chime in on this, Mikey, and Blake, actually.

00:12:35.080 My whole point was that it is political malfeasance not to acknowledge the real lived experience of your voters.

00:12:42.660 So you might think that everybody is a bunch of whiny babies that just need to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps,

00:12:47.840 which in general, there is a place for that kind of correction.

00:12:51.480 But Blake and I, we spoke to these kids.

00:12:53.260 These are good kids.

00:12:54.080 They're mostly Christian kids that we were talking to.

00:12:56.420 And a lot of them are economically illiterate. 0.87

00:12:58.660 like we've got to work on economic literacy in this country but like second of all like they're

00:13:05.200 really trying hard they're doing all the right things and it was a simple throwaway comment

00:13:09.100 like i don't know it's still expensive because like you know it feels weird that a burrito cost

00:13:12.440 20 bucks and then like you know everybody's freaking out but i think it's we got to address

00:13:18.640 the needs wants and concerns anxieties of younger voters if we have any hope of recapturing them in

00:13:23.980 the coalition well we do but i i go back and forth on this in truth because even if it's it's 0.60

00:13:30.660 really obnoxious when dan crenshaw like there's a sort of male-to-male transsexual aspect of us 0.52

00:13:35.960 that manifests where they have to be like i'm such a man and you wanted baby kids can't you need your 0.94

00:13:43.780 avocado toast and your burrito and like they do this very performative thing and it's very annoying

00:13:48.660 but it is also true that in fact if you want to get ahead in life one of the fastest things you

00:13:54.980 can do is spend less on fast food and a huge reason that young people actually are not getting

00:14:02.420 ahead economically is they objectively compared to prior generations blow more of their money 0.93

00:14:08.820 on stupid stuff so they blow more of their money on fast food and especially delivery just if you 0.99

00:14:15.580 want use doordash and instacart and all of that you can easily bleed yourself to death just too 1.00

00:14:22.080 much delivery and then they do sports gambling if you're running that at a negative which you

00:14:27.100 almost certainly are because you get banned from the apps if you make money off them if you're 0.99

00:14:31.160 doing that if you're doing other if you're doing a bunch of crypto speculation on stupid coins like 0.94

00:14:35.700 that go to zero and then you blow money on drinking with your friends you blow money on 0.60

00:14:41.900 infinity other things you can buy online that you run out of money and then you say oh i ran out of

00:14:47.500 money and i'm poor and like we need socialism as a solution i do think we need the ability to

00:14:52.180 confront that and say like this is a fixable problem that a lot of people refuse to fix and

00:14:57.540 we should reject demagogue politics that say otherwise i can so so i guess my response to

00:15:03.800 that is like i i can remember when burritos were a dollar and i remember being being in college and

00:15:10.840 like a burrito, like not a big fancy burrito, but like one of those, like the value menu was

00:15:16.340 a thing. And I definitely remember when burritos or, you know, something McDonald's have the dollar

00:15:22.180 menu. So remember it was the dollar menu, but the dollar menu became the value menu. And then the

00:15:26.820 value, and I don't even know if they have that anymore. So this idea that, you know, our country

00:15:31.580 has become more expensive and some of these goods have become more expensive. It's just true.

00:15:35.760 It's just obviously true that this isn't something you can just kind of buy with like pocket change

00:15:39.800 anymore. And you could just grab like a quick, I'm not saying it's healthy. I'm not saying it's

00:15:44.060 like, you know, anything that you should be doing. And yes, you know, you, you, you do have to do

00:15:49.400 that sometime, but people also forget, I think a lot that when you cook at home, uh, you, you know,

00:15:55.460 there's a time cost involved with that. And when you're, if you're young, if you're working and

00:15:59.820 you're going to school at the same time, or if you have internships that you're, you know, how much

00:16:04.060 time do you have left for cooking? I'm not saying it takes a long time to do that. I'm just saying

00:16:08.420 that it's much easier to grab and go some food and then go do that.

00:16:12.420 On the flip side, a lot of people were pointing out, I saw as well, they're like, oh, just

00:16:16.460 have your wife cook.

00:16:17.460 And it's like, well, a lot of young people aren't getting married either, and they have

00:16:21.000 problems with that as well.

00:16:22.300 So you have all of these compound problems, or should I say multi-layered problems kind

00:16:33.460 of stacked together almost like a five-layer problem that they're dealing with and a three

00:16:40.480 cheese solution right around the corner and it just exploded the burrito exploded and that's why

00:16:47.620 the burrito beef the burrito beef has taken over i've been calling it the great burrito debate of

00:16:54.220 2026 i will know i will know credit where it's due i got that from trace gallagher when he came

00:16:59.460 today. People are saying I remember when

00:17:01.500 a burrito was a dollar or two dollars

00:17:03.500 and I would just note that we have had culinary

00:17:05.480 inflation in the U.S. and so

00:17:07.460 the burrito you had when you were a kid was

00:17:09.460 at Taco Bell and it was 0.99

00:17:11.360 crap and I've decided to check and the 0.98

00:17:13.420 cheapest burrito at Taco Bell is 0.99

00:17:15.420 still a buck fifty and it's a

00:17:17.360 basic cheesy bean and rice burrito and I

00:17:19.420 bet it is nasty because it's Taco Bell.

00:17:22.340 Taco Bell is nasty. I'm just

00:17:23.480 going to say it. Sorry. Wait does that have zero

00:17:25.500 protein in it? It is a cheese, bean

00:17:27.620 and rice burrito you can get a regular bean burrito for a buck 99 i think the cheapest one you can get

00:17:33.180 that has some form of meat uh they have the cheesy double beef burrito for 2.99 um okay 2.99 is not

00:17:41.480 bad you know so we had to actually do some research and see if 20 burritos were actually a thing i

00:17:48.260 i'm gonna say affirmatively they are i don't think that they are because you tip 40 on all

00:17:55.480 of your chipotle orders so this was interesting we have the video right uh i don't know which

00:18:00.360 number it is but we actually took the team for a burrito trip to chipotle today but i have to say

00:18:06.860 this is what was very fascinating about this experiment and i think jack you went and got

00:18:11.940 your own burrito correct so you i did but i did not go to chipotle i went i went to keydouble

00:18:17.440 yeah which both had a salmonella outbreak okay so clip six is uh you can follow follow some of the

00:18:24.800 team down to chipotle we did a we did an experiment and wanted to see what it was what the price i

00:18:29.960 hadn't eaten at chipotle in a long in a long time i know you could do it like all the time you had

00:18:33.960 your double right i ate it i ate it yesterday yeah well the way today and the day before that

00:18:39.860 actually sat six let's play i think about it we're about to run as an experiment can you narrate this

00:18:48.080 please, that way, that dude's got Sam.

00:18:51.220 That's Blake looking at his phone.

00:18:52.560 We descend into the Chipotle.

00:18:55.320 Into the lair.

00:18:56.240 We've got a bunch of hungry boys,

00:18:57.840 recently in college.

00:19:00.960 Hey, did you get guac?

00:19:03.020 No, but you, did you get guac on the way back here?

00:19:05.580 All right, so the menu,

00:19:07.280 we'll really need guac.

00:19:08.140 It's a reveal, it's like 11 bucks, 12 bucks.

00:19:11.200 I think we have a receipt for you.

00:19:12.760 Yeah, we do.

00:19:14.280 Now I, as a Christian,

00:19:15.760 mine's a lot i know they charge you extra for the tortilla now 50 cents yeah easily more than

00:19:23.720 50 cents all right 12 bucks that's probably gonna be the cheapest one 11.62 that's the cheapest one

00:19:29.340 so far what's that it's like a chicken burrito they have a special they have like honey there's

00:19:35.600 like 16 17 bucks yeah so here's okay so so for people to people at home can you guys read the

00:19:41.960 uh the various prices off here yeah it's like 11 11 16 15 and i think the most expensive one was

00:19:47.820 17 but that somebody got like a double protein like a double chicken uh and then there was a

00:19:54.280 chips and guac order on one of them anyway so here's here's what i would say what was

00:19:59.120 interesting about this so what so it came to it came to around 20 it came to less than 20 if you

00:20:04.760 got chips and guac and extra meat and guac in your burrito okay so here here's here was the order so

00:20:11.900 somebody got guac in their order and that jacks it up like two dollars and fifty cents when you

00:20:17.460 add guac and then somebody got extra protein so that jacked it up and then somebody got

00:20:22.200 chips and guac on the side so if you did any of those things you're at about 16 17 bucks

00:20:28.360 now what's interesting about this so our little chipotle here is not in a bad part of town but

00:20:34.100 it's also not a high rent part of town and uh danny was saying that he just hit chipotle up

00:20:39.960 in scottsdale and they automate the tip at the end so you know when you you swipe your card and

00:20:45.520 it goes how much would you like to tip and it gives you the options according to danny are like

00:20:49.760 20 is the lowest 20 25 30 tip which we can get into but if i at this particular chipotle they

00:20:58.020 don't even offer a tip option so you can't i i asked the guy said can i tip and he goes nope

00:21:05.260 we don't you can tip online if you order online you can tip but you can't tip if you buy in the

00:21:09.640 story i'm just baffled this is but had you tipped at 20 we would have multiple orders over 20 bucks

00:21:15.940 yeah okay but i don't feel that's very i just don't think that's i just don't think that's a

00:21:20.260 compelling argument it's too expensive to buy burritos if i voluntarily give more money to

00:21:26.240 this person who is not in a normally tipped field tax and tip added on you will easily get over 20

00:21:32.860 I'll say that, so I checked it out with Kidobble at Kidoba, which is so much better than Chipotle.

00:21:41.420 What?

00:21:41.700 So mine came to my normal, yeah, it's obviously better, that just my normal burrito order without any extras, any drink, no combo, anything like that, was $16.85.

00:21:53.820 and then if you yeah if you had um if it's with a 20 tip because i think we agreed we're going to

00:21:59.120 look at 20 tip it would it would just be over 20 yep yep and that's without delivery by the way

00:22:05.840 like by the way what's crazy is so we've got a bunch of people sending us images of like different

00:22:10.860 chipotle menus they are actually pricing it based on like if they're in a high rent district or

00:22:16.360 whatever so like so where we were at the most expensive steak burrito was like 11.95 and that's

00:22:23.720 just that's before tax and tip and all that stuff but in san francisco la scottsdale those are 14

00:22:31.320 dollars 14.95 yeah no that's about right and they offer the tip option just to like make you feel

00:22:36.200 bad i saw this reddit online of a guy that found a receipt from like 2015 from chipotle and he was

00:22:42.100 like this is how much my burrito cost so like 11 years ago at this point and for a chicken burrito

00:22:48.140 is 6.95 so i do think we're at this point and i think both jack and blake are right i think young

00:22:54.360 people need to manage their spending better right yeah uh we do love to spend money i'll be the

00:23:00.120 first to say it um but also like prices have gone up on things and the quality has gone down and so

00:23:07.360 you will get a more expensive product at taco bell and it's even worse ingredients than it was

00:23:13.620 like 10 years ago and so not only is it bad financially for young people it's bad you know

00:23:19.660 just for their health it's almost like two things are happening but also like young people are

00:23:23.880 spending more and things are getting and so yeah you know so two things are exacerbating this at

00:23:28.560 once yeah jack you brought this up earlier like bnpl name another generation that's had to like

00:23:33.240 start relying on basically splitting their pizza order this was a huge deal though payment this

00:23:39.500 was a huge deal with credit cards uh when i was going to college they were just handing out credit

00:23:43.200 cards to everybody and people were blowing up their credit it was huge it was the biggest thing

00:23:47.620 i actually uh scott besant was here today andrew uh interviewed him and blake and i actually

00:23:53.760 last time i saw him i brought up bnpl and i was like i think the administration should ban bnpl

00:24:00.140 for multiple reasons based like one it's awful i was like in two um a lot of the companies that

00:24:07.300 are operating after pay clarna like one's an australian company one's a swedish company i

00:24:12.480 was like these are foreign governments prying on young people like this is totally tortious and he

00:24:17.460 was like that's a good point i think we need to do that like and it's totally like the the

00:24:22.440 administration should do that i think there needs to be like some steps towards figuring out how to

00:24:27.080 make an economic reality and a future for young people but i mean i think you're both right like

00:24:33.180 i don't think well and here's here's the bigger thing so jack will agree with this this all became

00:24:38.020 a proxy for iran like so the oh yeah but then it also became sort of a proxy for the dsa

00:24:46.400 rise of dsa and socialism and momdani ism versus like capitalism as well right and so

00:24:53.720 what i was not doing was suggesting that somehow thank you that's beautiful

00:24:59.580 it's worth throwing it's worth throwing up i think it actually looks better i don't get it

00:25:05.240 what's the people in the chat are now making memes of mexican andrew yeah i don't get the joke

00:25:09.140 it kind of i kind of look like you in that actually it's because no it just that's literally

00:25:14.200 that's just a photo of you from last week i don't get the joke here

00:25:19.100 yeah okay you really are mexican i well you're lying when you and i have a mustache on you

00:25:28.300 totally you got the sanchez on there that you can definitely you can definitely see it all right so

00:25:33.840 here's the point though i'm not making an argument that any of this is friendly sanchez

00:25:38.520 is for uh an argument in favor of socialist policies and like government controls and

00:25:44.580 price-fixing, none of that.

00:25:46.300 What I am saying, though, is if you do not talk to the voters where they are at,

00:25:51.300 and if you are distracted with foreign policy abstractions and adventurism,

00:25:55.300 then people that voted for you to deliver them better economic conditions

00:25:58.860 are going to be frustrated.

00:26:00.200 They are not going to either vote for you, they will opt out of voting,

00:26:03.300 or they might, some of them, vote for the socialist.

00:26:06.200 And so we, as a conservative movement, have to have a message of hope, optimism,

00:26:10.820 and that our ideas are actually working.

00:26:12.320 Because I actually think they are working.

00:26:14.580 But we're not talking about them enough and we're not focusing on it enough. 0.97

00:26:17.720 And if everybody just tells Gen Z that they're a bunch of entitled little brats and they need to like eat crap, you know, horse meat passed off as burrito meat, then that's not going to work. 0.99

00:26:27.600 It's not going to cut it. And you can do both at the same time. 0.98

00:26:30.940 It won't cut it, but what we do 100% see, people do react to the broader zeitgeist.

00:26:38.000 And so if we're going to say we need to listen to voters, a lot of voters are essentially regurgitating a thing.

00:26:43.380 they are already hearing from influencers and that includes influencers on the right so one

00:26:49.060 of the reasons people would just say grocery prices are way up is because they hear people

00:26:53.600 on x all exclaiming that grocery prices are way up and like that doesn't mean there's no reality

00:26:58.480 to it like beef definitely got a lot more expensive in the last year claiming that groceries are up

00:27:02.760 30 okay what's overall inflation since 2020 it's probably about that yeah and what's wage

00:27:09.460 increase since then probably similar to that like what what are the numbers pull it up and go check

00:27:15.600 yeah no it i listen i'm not in the same financial boat as a college student gladly happily but even

00:27:24.780 i am experiencing the the squeeze and that everything is expensive dude it cost a hundred

00:27:30.840 and something dollars to fill up our gas tank the other day yeah i was like what yeah by the way

00:27:35.880 everybody has their own threshold at which point they they go hold on a second like yeah you know

00:27:40.620 what i mean so it depending on where you are in the on the ladder economic ladder and cerno put

00:27:46.700 that i think on social media he said as soon as gas hits over 100 bucks to fill up my tank i notice

00:27:51.220 and i go oh come on yeah so like 100 bucks is his threshold so young people's threshold is going to

00:27:57.860 be far far lower and far more acute than somebody who's 30 or 40 and has a career it's again you're

00:28:05.760 talking about a decision this is the system i was talking about the five the five layer burrito

00:28:09.320 that young americans find themselves in because it's not just the price of burritos right it's

00:28:16.180 the price of rent it is the uh being kept out of the workforce because of migrants and particularly

00:28:22.640 anti-white anti-male policies that are in there it is the feeling that they're looking at the idea

00:28:27.660 of buying a home or starting a family yeah the average housing one it's like again just so many

00:28:32.800 various things and so so we wrote about this in because we talked about like why are we in a

00:28:37.860 socialist revolution it's like all of this is why we're in a socialist revolution right now

00:28:41.460 and it's why socialist candidates keep winning and what's really interesting is you go back and we

00:28:46.980 wrote the book uh the unhumans about communist history and in the bolshevik excuse me in the

00:28:53.740 bolshevik revolution what did they campaign on well they campaigned against a an unpopular foreign

00:28:59.580 war which is world war one they campaigned on land reform because the price of housing

00:29:04.780 and they campaigned on the price of food and so lennon's uh slogan which he said again and again

00:29:11.020 was peace land bread peace land bread and it's like aren't we seeing the exact same things play

00:29:17.900 out right now it sounds like el sayed his what is his like money out of politics he's got a three

00:29:24.220 point plan money in your wallet and medicare for all so all i can remember that he said was that

00:29:31.100 was that um he's like these republicans they can't say my name right so let me tell you 0.99

00:29:36.380 something you keep my damn name out of your mouth if you can't say 0.98

00:29:39.500 answer is i don't care all right hold on we've got zuzu's pedal says there's nothing more budget 0.99

00:29:52.300 friendly than the five dollar rotisserie chicken at costco so true and can we take a moment to

00:29:57.500 appreciate if you can afford a costco membership well it's like 60 bucks but i mean honestly i

00:30:05.260 never here's what everybody kept saying you gotta cook you gotta cook you gotta cook and i was like

00:30:09.360 thinking back to my high school or my college life i cannot for the life of me remember cooking

00:30:13.700 like not once i don't think but that's just part of it like part of what is pushing back here is

00:30:18.060 like how to some extent this is fake that actually these are all easily fixable problems and this is

00:30:25.460 this is why i do get a little worried if we just say we have to listen to this and have no pushback

00:30:30.500 whatsoever is that like nobody's saying that well but it kind of is like there's definitely like

00:30:36.800 there's certainly a take where when some people just point it out actually like a lot of places

00:30:41.020 you can get burritos are not that expensive and they'll just kind of blow up and be like oh really

00:30:45.420 great message you're gonna have there for young

00:30:47.460 people and like then the tone basically is just

00:30:49.520 you have to let people complain

00:30:51.540 about anything and

00:30:53.340 if the truth is is that you

00:30:55.440 can actually go to a grocery store

00:30:57.100 and get very affordable items

00:30:59.040 actually cooking is very easy to

00:31:01.480 do easier than ever to learn at this point because

00:31:03.420 there's YouTube guides there's a million ways

00:31:05.540 to figure it out online

00:31:07.060 and people just prefer and you actually have

00:31:09.480 more free time than your parents did 30

00:31:11.460 years ago like there's actually like

00:31:13.280 it's really easy to do and people just choose not to do it because they like to complain no and

00:31:19.220 there's something to be said that we should push back on the fact that people like to

00:31:23.080 disagree more totally wrong okay but i'm right no no because i mean i mean i certainly agree

00:31:32.020 that people do spend too much time scrolling but it's like i don't think people i i think that if

00:31:37.020 you go around telling people that they should just suck it up and that their concerns don't matter

00:31:42.640 like that's why Syed wins and Mandami and Francesca I hate Thanksgiving in Wisconsin

00:31:50.720 that that's what allows those type of candidates to win yeah I mean that's my big concern and you

00:31:57.680 know here here's what I would say I believe the free market is the way out of this but we've also

00:32:02.880 got to confront that conservatives have contributed to the problem with foreign adventurism runaway

00:32:09.480 spending not getting serious about the debt if you want to know what really drives inflation

00:32:13.220 it's printing money it's more dollars in the system than there are goods so more dollars

00:32:18.600 chasing fewer goods and the interest in terms of covid also war and war you got to print money

00:32:24.220 for war in your by the way war causes issues like we're seeing in the strait of hormuz where

00:32:28.920 you got an energy shock so these things do are policy based but bigger than anything and when

00:32:35.220 you're riding a 40 trillion dollar debt and you have a two trillion dollar deficit every year

00:32:38.880 you're printing money you're borrowing money you're putting dollars into circulation yeah it's

00:32:42.940 not matched by increased productivity this is why milton friedman was like set it and forget it you

00:32:47.200 should increase the money supply every year by three percent and get the economist out of the

00:32:51.600 money supply because that's what ultimately causes inflation but i mean the fastest way to get

00:32:56.080 inflation down right now is energy costs and the fastest way to get rid of that is to end this war

00:33:00.180 and if we didn't start this war to begin with we wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now so

00:33:04.440 is this burrito debate really just about the iran war probably it's about that and the and and

00:33:09.640 arguing about affordability people but the dsa is the reason it's so intense yeah it's so intense

00:33:15.640 is the iran war well i would also add like don't forget like charlie went on tucker's show last

00:33:21.320 year like almost a year to the day and um he was like there are radical problems facing the younger

00:33:27.400 generation and if solutions aren't given soon they're they will look to radical solutions for

00:33:32.520 for their radical problems and so that's where you see on the left like mom donnie immediately

00:33:36.320 won because he was offering radical solutions and on the right you can see radical solutions as well

00:33:41.320 but it like if you do not offer a solution they will look elsewhere and they'll look for a speedy

00:33:47.480 solution and oftentimes that's a radical one but it was like i yeah it's well so let's it's important

00:33:53.640 to play back the tape here and and remember that moment because you bring up the a year ago with

00:33:58.920 charlie right we have to remember that the democrats did this in 2024 they were like the

00:34:05.440 economy's fine everybody it's fine it's just the media is talking about it too much yeah well no

00:34:11.700 we had four years of inflation that was to your point so that 30 inflation people were reeling

00:34:17.520 from the sticker price of everything in the market in charlie was saying hey we won in 24 but this is

00:34:23.440 wet cement it's not we don't get these votes guaranteed for the rest of these people's lives

00:34:27.560 we have to deliver on our promises which is we've got to bring affordability back we got to bring

00:34:32.960 growth back because i mean candidly on some of these stuff whether it's if it's like beef

00:34:36.900 dropping beef prices is one thing dropping egg prices but you don't want deflation in the

00:34:41.440 economy that's a disaster so what you have to do is you have to grow your way out of a previous

00:34:45.560 inflationary period so you have to unshackle the economy and growth yeah it felt like we were on

00:34:50.700 that path for a while and then it felt like we got distracted and sidetracked with iran and other

00:34:55.760 things so the point of making this argument is not that we want socialism we don't want price

00:35:01.120 fixing we don't want 30 off at the grocery store in mom donnie's case it's going to drive bodegas

00:35:06.160 out of business and cause you know uh it's going to cause shortages and all kinds of other

00:35:11.900 disruptions and they're going to seize more and more power in that in that city we don't want

00:35:15.860 that because that ends in disasters we want to unshackle the economy and i think we've got to

00:35:20.000 start educating young people on basic economic principles because right now i think they they

00:35:25.280 think the solution is taking the minimum wage 20 bucks an hour they think the solution is

00:35:30.460 forgiving student loans they think the solution is all kinds of government fixes which is just

00:35:35.020 going to further distort the economy that's well and there are things the government can do by the

00:35:39.260 way like mass deportations um that will actually help help phenomenally with uh with the labor

00:35:45.020 market that'll help with the housing market housing prices rent prices so now that those

00:35:50.200 pressures right the the lay now you're peeling away layers of the burrito because hey we are

00:35:55.320 opening up the job market hey we're opening up the dating market too by the way we're opening

00:35:59.160 this up now perhaps uh mass deportations would lead to more um you know higher prices for like

00:36:05.480 doordash or uber eats or something like that because there's so many illegals that use that

00:36:09.320 and if there's you know if there's lower um you know if there's lower availability of labor for

00:36:13.720 that then you're you would perhaps get higher prices on delivery right so that could certainly

00:36:18.680 be something that i could see but at the same time you're also opening up jobs if people want to do

00:36:22.880 that as a side as a side hustle then you could take advantage of that too if you're someone who's

00:36:27.940 um you know who wants to make an extra buck while you're driving around then

00:36:31.040 yeah well can self-driving cars pick up a door dash order i guess you'd have to like

00:36:39.060 you have to bring it out they'll be able to i mean that's an easily fixable problem they just

00:36:45.240 They just roll up, the window comes down, the employee goes out, drops it in.

00:36:49.320 There's a million ways to do that.

00:36:50.400 In the next five years, DoorDash, as it exists right now, will not even be a thing.

00:36:56.500 The food will not be picked up at restaurants.

00:36:59.800 It's going to be made in these massive warehouses that are like data centers, buy robots, and

00:37:05.180 then a car will come to the warehouse, pick up the order.

00:37:08.100 And so these restaurants will white label and whitelist basically these warehouses and

00:37:12.480 these machines.

00:37:13.680 I've got about these machines.

00:37:14.500 This is already how a huge number of the DoorDash restaurants are.

00:37:17.700 They're just in a random room.

00:37:18.980 They're not a place you can go other than for DoorDash.

00:37:20.580 So they don't have a retail store for them?

00:37:22.100 No, so the machines have the recipe.

00:37:24.060 It's not efficient.

00:37:24.540 Yeah, they have the recipe for the burger from Red Robin.

00:37:28.800 And so they will make it right there on the spot.

00:37:30.900 And then they'll box it, bag it, and then it's waiting to be picked up by a DoorDash driver.

00:37:36.780 And the only employee that would be needed is to transfer it from point A into the car.

00:37:42.160 Now, here's the black pill.

00:37:43.080 we're going to have 1.00

00:37:44.700 robot Ubers

00:37:46.120 we're going to have

00:37:47.560 robot DoorDash

00:37:48.920 we're going to probably have 1.00

00:37:49.820 robot making the food 1.00

00:37:51.180 in these kitchens 0.99

00:37:51.800 but we'll still have 1.00

00:37:53.660 the huge number of migrants 0.68

00:37:55.020 that we shipped in

00:37:56.240 because we supposedly

00:37:58.200 needed them to do

00:37:58.960 all of this like 1.00

00:37:59.860 low wage labor

00:38:00.960 did you guys hear

00:38:01.800 what they're doing

00:38:02.320 in Ohio right now 1.00

00:38:04.640 with the Haitians 0.94

00:38:05.420 supposedly 0.81

00:38:06.320 Post Millennial says

00:38:08.560 that has this up

00:38:09.680 I haven't seen a video of it yet

00:38:10.640 I really

00:38:11.220 I've kind of been asking

00:38:12.200 around for it

00:38:13.080 It says they're putting ankle monitors on the Haitians because they're so TPS, TPS has ended. 0.50

00:38:19.020 So they're putting ankle monitors on the Haitians. 0.87

00:38:21.420 And I guess they're tracking them to make sure, hey, if you haven't gone back yet, you need to do this.

00:38:26.680 Don't we have like 15 percent of Haiti living in America? 0.62

00:38:29.080 I love a good Haitian ankle monitor. 1.00

00:38:32.080 Oh, so it's so funny. 1.00

00:38:33.240 Somebody was doing it.

00:38:33.920 I voted for this.

00:38:34.800 I don't want an ankle monitor.

00:38:37.440 I want them with a.

00:38:38.140 Can we get an ankle monitor on Andrew?

00:38:40.380 there's a little bit there's logistical issues to just to just getting them all out so so so for

00:38:46.380 the time being we're we're we're tagging them releasing them back to the wild i'm so on track

00:38:52.300 with what blake just said though i am i i i think i posted about this this morning that

00:38:57.560 why is there no serious political concerted effort being made to fix legal immigration

00:39:04.840 think about it even the save america everybody's like we need the save america i agree because we 1.00

00:39:09.620 let in on all these foreigners but we really need to stop letting in all these foreigners i mean 1.00

00:39:13.740 it's really the really sad thing is it's sometimes pointed out i think uh this was pointed out during 1.00

00:39:18.280 lindsey graham's funeral where he said you know he kept going getting higher and higher and thinking

00:39:22.540 like who's really in charge of things and then you discover no one's in charge and i think

00:39:26.240 immigration is a lot like that like you think there's someone deep in the system who's thought

00:39:31.220 about okay yeah we're letting in all of these immigrants but this is going to have demographic

00:39:35.160 effects and wage effects and you know it's going to have this impact on the country but it's worth 1.00

00:39:39.280 it for this cynical or manipulative reason and then actually the truth is they're all dumb and 0.98

00:39:43.540 they don't understand what they're doing so what you literally have is you have business people 0.96

00:39:47.120 who think i need people to fill these jobs they don't think well what's the long-term effect on

00:39:52.500 this country they don't think are we importing a bunch of people who will vote for socialism and

00:39:56.020 take my business away don't even think about it they just it's truly it is truly mindless 0.99

00:40:02.120 and retarded i i went to this i went to this dinner in dc a couple weeks back and it's like 0.95

00:40:08.600 a month ago i guess now it was right after cls so um and i met this congressman and he's actually 0.71

00:40:15.260 one of the sponsors of the dignidad act and play the music play music dignidad

00:40:23.100 come on guys

00:40:27.760 Got enough.

00:40:30.600 We do our best.

00:40:31.820 We're not getting the human capital we used to in this country.

00:40:35.840 Easy, buddy.

00:40:38.200 Tell us about this dinner in D.C.

00:40:39.940 The guy just was like, we need labor. 1.00

00:40:43.020 We can't find white kids.

00:40:45.480 Literally, this is what he said.

00:40:46.260 We can't find white kids to man the farms in Indiana. 0.96

00:40:50.400 And I said, well, okay. 0.99

00:40:53.520 But you've been saying that since 1965.

00:40:57.020 Like, you've got, literally, there's 100 million more people in the country now, if you count immigrants, their kids, their grandkids, than there otherwise would have been.

00:41:05.400 We have 100 million more people on our population list because of 1965 and because of 1990.

00:41:11.780 And you still can't, it's not like there's more farms.

00:41:14.780 As a matter of fact, there's fewer. 0.64

00:41:17.460 And, as a matter of fact, there are more, like, Hispanics work in them. 0.97

00:41:21.040 There's more automation. 0.59

00:41:22.180 There is more tractors.

00:41:23.180 there is more everything that should make the labor needs that you think you need less and you

00:41:28.080 still can't find workers when is it going to stop nothing black pills me like just seeing that the 1.00

00:41:32.440 chinese now have boring office cubicle environments where the chinese guys are driving their 0.98

00:41:38.440 agricultural machines in an air-conditioned room like a robot and then meanwhile in the u.s 0.97

00:41:43.800 in the u.s you can find videos of guys driving tractors that don't even have a cab on the top 0.92

00:41:47.600 still that's too black pilly that's too black i know it's gonna too much black pill blake there's 0.98

00:41:54.000 a okay my point is that labor and then you had senator curtis freaking senator curtis this guy 0.98

00:42:02.420 is such a piece of work i cannot for the light black black or jack did you cover this story

00:42:07.400 this week senator curtis so the states the state i haven't talked about on air but i've tweeted

00:42:12.920 about the states get to determine how many visas they get and specially visits so you're taking

00:42:17.740 it away from the federal imagine how many visas you think like blue california when they get to

00:42:22.620 count all those people in the census for apportionment and for federal grants get are

00:42:27.620 going to let in and then you got the supreme court that gives them all birthright citizenship if they

00:42:32.880 drop a baby off here the whole thing is so ridiculous yeah but do you think ai is going 0.98

00:42:38.700 to make it better works because you you yeah we're gonna have a permanent underclass of like 0.99

00:42:42.960 these these cheap foreign labor that we just let in i think it's scarier than that i think it's 0.57

00:42:47.200 scarier than that we might get in a reality i think there's a lot of people who will say

00:42:50.780 we just need to ban the ai stuff to make sure we have jobs for our imported underclass so

00:42:56.080 we'll reverse that yeah i mean this is a take of a lot of people is basically like we need to have

00:43:01.940 these bottom rung jobs and our lives will be worse as a result that he wants to ban self-driving

00:43:06.940 semi trucks right isn't that i'm not i'm not sure what he hates self-driving trucks that's not even

00:43:11.040 gonna be a thing okay so i i have a friend with that i mean i'm not because we're literally going

00:43:16.100 to have hundreds of people die a year to make sure it's gonna end up driving in the road i do

00:43:20.520 genuinely think it's gonna be a net good and it's not that actually there's there's so where do those

00:43:25.260 people i have to i mean well there's not taken by illegals there's gonna be massive drones very

00:43:31.420 very careful with anything when it comes to trucking i was just it's not gonna be a truck

00:43:35.120 they do the same thing at the ports

00:43:36.880 it's not going to be a truck

00:43:37.820 there's going to be a massive drone

00:43:41.220 that will fly to the ports of Long Beach

00:43:43.300 and it will pick up a storage container

00:43:45.320 that has to be delivered to Scottsdale

00:43:47.300 Arizona and it will fly adjacent

00:43:49.280 to the freeway and it will just

00:43:51.300 go and it will be one tenth

00:43:53.160 of the cost, it will be much

00:43:55.080 faster and they're going to be flying

00:43:57.000 it's not going to be on the road

00:43:57.940 isn't that going to take a huge amount of energy?

00:44:01.300 no, it's all going to be

00:44:03.320 nuclear energy

00:44:04.000 this is really getting ambitious no dude there's a company right now that's doing this

00:44:08.800 they're building these massive drones nuclear drones over your head all the time no it's

00:44:13.940 nuclear powered for their like the batteries inside of it okay operate it or the machine

00:44:18.380 whatever still i mean if you're gonna pick up like a giant cargo container that's so uh jack

00:44:22.500 make your point though why why are you against um why are you against that because i know for

00:44:27.780 example the longshoremen are they fought this too remember automation at the ports they and

00:44:33.880 Trump agreed with him.

00:44:34.860 He ended up back in their play to make sure it's still manned

00:44:37.220 and it's not all robotic and stuff like that.

00:44:40.640 So here's, yeah.

00:44:41.900 So, number one, we have enough problems with trucks on the road right now 1.00

00:44:47.460 because of all the migrants that have been given these trucking contracts 1.00

00:44:51.520 and trucking licenses who obviously shouldn't have them. 1.00

00:44:54.740 They're getting them from, like, diploma mills, and it's killing people. 0.99

00:44:59.260 You know, self-driving semis, you know, can it get there eventually? 0.96

00:45:03.060 Sure.

00:45:03.300 but i think it's something you got to be very very careful with in terms of technology and at the

00:45:08.580 same time we we know that if you don't have a college degree that driving a truck is one of

00:45:16.080 the fastest ways that you can get on your feet and we tell people to pull themselves up by their

00:45:19.800 bootstraps driving a truck is a great way to actually do that and then when you turn around

00:45:24.140 and say oh but you know also we should allow that uh that industry to be destroyed it's like

00:45:29.600 like what are we doing guys well okay but then we could we could do it far more easily and we

00:45:34.180 could say we could have unlimited jobs for them we should just ban like construction machinery and

00:45:40.120 make everyone do it with shovels that would create a lot of jobs right i have a tesla i

00:45:44.520 self-driving so cool is so cool and also incredibly safe yeah like it is so safe i i can i will trust

00:45:54.280 myself texting and driving so i shouldn't say this says that i know but like what it's so and

00:46:02.740 this is what the technology is now like imagine the technology five years from but that's driving

00:46:07.460 it that is totally different from driving a semi plus by the way making the deliveries at every

00:46:11.700 place that you have to pull up to uh you've got you've got parking you've got a regular you know

00:46:17.220 it parks loading docks and all sorts of things i just think that it parks and that's cool and i

00:46:22.220 know a lot of people who have teslas that do it as well and i'm not knocking it i'm just saying

00:46:25.880 that a semi is like it's it's like an entirely different category how many road accident deaths

00:46:31.880 do you think the u.s has in a given year uh isn't it like 25 000 45 000 50 000 it's about it's

00:46:37.340 almost 50 000 yeah uh but that's not just i mean yeah okay fair enough but semis so faz is saying

00:46:43.780 semis are a generation away too much money no one will insure it too precision based i don't know

00:46:48.480 Tesla has a Semi.

00:46:50.580 They have a Semi that is like...

00:46:51.780 They do have a Semi.

00:46:52.520 Yeah, and they've been showing it off.

00:46:54.060 And they're working on perfecting it so that it can do deliveries.

00:46:57.500 So I don't know, man.

00:46:58.620 And then their robot's supposed to come out this year, too.

00:47:01.320 Or next year.

00:47:03.260 Foss says the first Semi to mess up and drop off at a loading dock

00:47:06.900 and lose a payload to set off a cascade of issues.

00:47:09.720 I'm incredibly optimistic about it.

00:47:12.580 I think it'll end up being fine.

00:47:15.100 but also like there's gonna you're gonna have like a you're not gonna buy a robot that can like

00:47:20.020 cooking clean for you in your house oh you gotta show these pictures i totally think you will

00:47:24.360 and then also like i know a guy who owns one of the companies that i was just talking about earlier

00:47:30.820 that that makes more of a cowboy it makes the food in the these massive warehouses and then

00:47:36.460 door dashers will come pick up i know a guy that owns and operates like a massive company like that

00:47:40.380 he told me he's like by the time your kid is like 13 years old he every single one of his meals will

00:47:47.880 come from a warehouse and it'll be healthier cheaper and better and I was like I don't know

00:47:51.360 if I like that I'm not sure I like it either like I what I do worry about here is just it's the

00:47:56.820 flattening of everything so I was actually just reading a book review that was pretty interesting

00:48:02.000 it talked about how if you're like if you're a mom today like you still do basically the same

00:48:07.460 things the mom your mom did for you so you put on music for the kid you like look up things if they

00:48:14.400 ask questions you uh you make food like you do all the stuff or you know you you send you send

00:48:20.040 photos away so like let's say you wanted to send like let's say you wanted to put on music for your

00:48:24.180 kid even 25 30 years ago that means you pull out the cd or you pull out of the cassette tape you

00:48:29.560 put it into this machine you make sure the machine is working right and it starts playing now it's

00:48:34.280 You hit a button on your phone.

00:48:35.840 You want to send photos of your kid to family members.

00:48:38.240 30 years ago, you literally print out a photo,

00:48:41.500 which you probably had to go to a shop to get,

00:48:43.600 and then you put it in an envelope,

00:48:45.300 and you pull out a pen, and you write on that envelope,

00:48:47.240 and you mail it to somebody.

00:48:48.300 Now, you push some buttons on your smartphone.

00:48:50.460 And now, that's how all things are.

00:48:52.700 You do everything through your smartphone,

00:48:54.060 everything through a computer.

00:48:55.480 And I feel like we're doing that with the robots.

00:48:57.240 It's going to be, you want to get food?

00:48:59.080 The robot warehouse sends stuff.

00:49:00.660 You want to order a delivery of anything?

00:49:02.340 you go on to Amazon on your phone

00:49:04.800 and you bring in something from the robot warehouse

00:49:07.200 and it's like everything is just from a robot warehouse

00:49:10.320 there's something dark about that

00:49:12.420 there is something dark about it

00:49:13.380 but I will tell you actually from an architecture

00:49:15.820 this is where you get socialist

00:49:18.620 I was just going to say I completely agree with you Blake

00:49:20.780 and that's why I think we need to be careful about all these things

00:49:23.020 and also this is where socialist revolutions come from

00:49:27.880 just like I was talking about before

00:49:29.300 the industrial revolution led to the bolshevik revolution because it was the industrial revolution

00:49:34.900 and on the back of that so much economic upheaval which is kind of what we're talking about now and

00:49:39.120 what mikey what um what your uh what your friend uh i think our mutual friend was was chatting

00:49:45.000 about future vision that about the future is that people are going to be freaked out and yes there

00:49:52.420 have been times in the past where that level of freak out has led to some very very dark outcomes

00:49:57.920 well i would just say that architecturally speaking not seeing a bunch of fast food all

00:50:02.500 all over the place i'm not super mad about that's just me personally and you're still gonna have

00:50:07.020 sit-down restaurants where you go and sit down and eat so you're this is this is pure what if

00:50:11.700 that's also robot food what if it's just robots in the kitchen i i'm not i don't think it's gonna

00:50:17.980 i mean okay it could be robot like line chefs but i think there will still be like a chef chef

00:50:22.780 at like i think it'll be fine for a very long time and i think that we're gonna figure out how

00:50:27.200 to live with it and like i think that our economy is going to reward what works and it's not going

00:50:32.260 to reward what doesn't work i think successful families instead of having like a robot maid

00:50:38.980 will want to actually hire a person because they want like interpersonal relationships i'm not so

00:50:43.860 sure about that no i i think about how easily people accept things that i think are actually

00:50:48.400 not great like the degree where they 100 outsource parenting to a screen um yeah you see people so

00:50:55.100 eager to do that and so here's where it's really going miss rachel just turn on miss rachel i i

00:51:01.560 just think there's a whole movement against that because i at least with my friend group with my

00:51:06.800 that have kids i mean everybody's trying to limit screen time as much as possible and trying to keep

00:51:11.100 kids active i mean maybe maybe we're the exception not the rule i don't know but where this is really

00:51:16.460 going which is the question not uh is that they're you know elon musk is talking about ubi and he's

00:51:23.720 talking about everybody the only people that will work in the future are people that want to work

00:51:28.660 and everybody else will be living on a universal basic hot take is we already have that yeah i yeah

00:51:35.240 charlie charlie talked about the ubi stuff too very early on this was like end of 24 beginning

00:51:41.480 of 25 too as he brought up we were literally going by the long beach you know shipping yards

00:51:47.680 and he was like and in five to ten years time those cranes are going to be operated by ai and

00:51:54.780 computers those trucks are going to be operated by ai and computers he's like all of the unions

00:52:00.020 are going to be out of a job because they just cause headaches and he's like it's going to be

00:52:03.900 epic he goes but it's going to be awful at the same time he's like this it will lead to a revolution

00:52:08.420 it's going to be awful and i was like well how do you fix it he's like honestly like ubi is the 0.91

00:52:12.660 simplest quickest fix but then you just have a bunch of people suckling off the teat of the you

00:52:17.260 know private companies and government that laid them off they have it in alaska though as the

00:52:21.520 closest example revolutionary stuff is not coming from people who are in blue collar jobs who are

00:52:29.720 like worried about ai replacing them the biggest source of like true like democrat like dsa radicalism

00:52:36.620 that stuff it's coming from people who actually have like normal jobs in a lot of places but they

00:52:43.380 kind of wish they had like 120 000 a year email jobs look at look at who's voting for guys like

00:52:49.640 el sayed it's uh affluent white people and third worlders yeah well affluent they sell affluent but

00:52:56.020 often the windows are like a group that really predicts voting for dsa like 95 level is like

00:53:02.980 people who have phds and then they make between 30 and 60 000 a year which two people making 60

00:53:09.780 thousand dollars a year for if you're a couple is actually a perfectly livable income but it

00:53:14.020 feels like especially if you have a phd they often are aspire to hire and there's a lot of

00:53:20.000 anger that comes from that a lot of resentment from that those people are usually not at risk

00:53:23.600 of long-term unemployment but they do feel like they feel lower status than they should be and

00:53:30.920 that drives a lot of rage and you saw that i mean with the bolshevik revolution the people leading

00:53:34.660 the Bolshevik revolution were not literal laborers. It was like extremely angry, lower

00:53:41.260 elites, like the sons of clergymen, the sons of professors, in some cases, the sons of

00:53:45.500 mobility. I love that. Yes. Yeah. The leaders, the leaders, which, which they, this is what

00:53:51.280 of course Lenin referred to as the vanguard of the proletariat. And so he's like the working

00:53:55.440 class are not rising. We need to teach them how to rise. Right. And so that's where, that's

00:53:59.680 lennon comes from and of course the uh it's it's parodied very well in animal farm uh is the

00:54:04.720 original version not the the new version and um you know but at the same time it it does grab

00:54:11.280 purchase and and all of these things do end up uh finding their ways into home into their homes and

00:54:18.640 by the way this is why you know the midwest which has been a heavily unionized area heavily blue

00:54:24.560 collar unionized area is now being the test bed for so many of these things.

00:54:29.820 It's why so much of this is coming out of there, whether it's Michigan, whether it's

00:54:33.200 Minnesota, whether it's Wisconsin, you're going and you're going to see more.

00:54:37.000 You are absolutely going to see more.

00:54:40.000 Well, I don't know that we got anywhere here other than the fact that I'm right. 1.00

00:54:44.700 It's dumb to ignore the problems of young people. 0.99

00:54:47.520 We are going to think you're a lunatic for tipping at Chipotle. 0.99

00:54:51.580 tip at a sit-down restaurant you can tip at a bar but if you are just going up to a cash register 0.92

00:54:58.540 and giving them money and receiving food in return it is weird to tip for that i am a i'm

00:55:04.640 a sucker for but i'll say i'll combine the two i'll combine the two weeks man if you've got a

00:55:09.200 guy like kevin o'leary who you know made all of his money by destroying oregon trail and carmen 0.96

00:55:16.380 San Diego, not through like, you know, war crime against Gen Y, by the way, and not, you

00:55:23.840 know, not actually being productive in society.

00:55:25.720 And he's running.

00:55:26.840 You got him on TV weeping over a golden Rolex that cost $2 million.

00:55:31.240 And then you've got then like his buddies turn around the next week and they're like, 0.98

00:55:36.200 screw you.

00:55:37.320 If you don't want to pay $20 for a burrito, just make one at home. 1.00

00:55:40.700 and, like, you wonder why people are upset

00:55:44.440 and you wonder why young people are turning to a socialist revolution.

00:55:47.780 You are why.

00:55:48.660 Just look in the mirror.

00:55:49.860 You are why.

00:55:51.040 And that's why we as a movement actually need to be talking about things

00:55:55.740 in terms of the national good.

00:55:57.920 I don't like the phrase the common good.

00:55:59.220 I don't think we should use that, but I think the national good,

00:56:02.020 like all of these things that we support, they stop at the border.

00:56:05.860 Wait, so it's Kevin O'Leary's fault why somebody can't afford a $20 burrito?

00:56:10.700 this is not what i said it's literally not what i said you know i didn't know he's saying he's

00:56:15.480 saying that guys like kevin o'leary when you go and you kind of talk about your two million dollar

00:56:19.640 rolex it kind of gives it all like a bad look right if you're okay imagine you're struggling

00:56:24.440 you got like 20 bucks in the account you voted for trump and you're like hey the golden ear is

00:56:30.340 coming and you're still struggling the prices are still high you can't afford burritos yeah you

00:56:34.860 can't afford a burrito and then kevin o'leary is talking about his two million dollar rolex i can

00:56:38.800 see why the optics on that are bad i still want to be a guy that very much celebrates success like i

00:56:43.880 i celebrate i celebrate elon musk being the first trillionaire i totally do um i have no problem

00:56:49.800 with billionaires you know zoran mamdani talking about the you know should billionaires exist no

00:56:54.520 absolutely not we should not become that that grievance-based culture that jealousy-based

00:56:59.520 culture that's what fuels this stuff but what we need to do is we need to be messaging young people

00:57:04.160 and saying, you know, to quote Bill Clinton, I feel your pain and I want to I want to help.

00:57:09.740 And we're going to be unleashing all this stuff. We're going to be working with first time home

00:57:13.060 buyers. We're going to be unleashing the free market to go build a lot of new homes for young

00:57:16.980 people. We're going to be deporting illegals that are stealing your homes. We're going to police the 1.00

00:57:20.580 streets so there's more safe neighborhoods you want to live like. These are the solutions that

00:57:24.620 we actually need to be bringing to bear. And we need to have our own message. But I think Jack's

00:57:30.740 It's partly right that when you have people gloating over their wealth at a time of a K-shaped economy, which is a lot more rich people are getting rich and a lot more poor people in the middle are getting poorer, that the timing is potentially problematic.

00:57:45.080 So I actually think both can be right. And I just want to say that we already do put limits on corporations as conservatives.

00:57:53.020 if corporations had their way

00:57:55.380 they would import millions of foreign illegals 0.97

00:57:57.460 and they would just never end 1.00

00:57:59.620 because they want cheap slave labor

00:58:01.520 and we've already said as a conservative movement

00:58:03.500 we reject this

00:58:05.220 excess of capital and we want to

00:58:07.460 protect American labor

00:58:08.520 so there are reasonable things that we can do

00:58:11.680 that are still

00:58:13.520 pro-market, pro-freedom of

00:58:15.440 capital moving

00:58:16.180 and by the way, Charlie used to talk about this all the time

00:58:18.940 what did we do, what did we get in exchange 0.97

00:58:20.900 for hollowing out our our industrial base in the midwest we got a bunch of cheap crap from china 1.00

00:58:26.160 that ends up in a trash heap like at some point like these are totally fair questions to ask and 0.99

00:58:33.240 we can still celebrate the capital markets we can still celebrate entrepreneurs and make that

00:58:37.460 happen but there are things that i think we're you know we are good to rein in yeah that makes

00:58:42.300 sense that makes sense and and yeah sorry no you're good i was just gonna say i i want to

00:58:48.760 separate like morally and politically like morally i do think you know spending 1.8 million dollars

00:58:55.460 on a watch that money should not be used that way like you can use that money way better as christians

00:59:00.320 as christians like morally that is my my take politically i just i'm not really in the business

00:59:05.180 of telling people who have earned their money how to spend their money and and i i also am like i

00:59:10.000 always want to be careful blaming like a social socialist revolution on somebody who's just

00:59:16.820 spending their money the way they want to spend their money uh but again like morally i of course

00:59:21.780 like i i have that line in the sand with but does that make sense yeah yeah yeah no i actually think

00:59:27.280 i'm exactly i would say though it's it's so i'm sure elon spends more money than kevin o'leary

00:59:33.320 but also elon is famous for being facidious right so he's he's famous for like having a you know

00:59:39.860 like a one-bedroom apartment and he sold all of his houses and you know he's a trillionaire but

00:59:44.540 he doesn't live like no he does have his private jet which he uses to uh go around and conduct his

00:59:49.200 operations but he doesn't he's not like on tv talking about weeping over a two million dollar

00:59:55.780 gold watch right right because you know and and he makes one of the deadly sins and so is greed

01:00:00.920 he makes things he also bought twitter now x that was he did it for i mean charlie would always talk

01:00:07.200 about how we need better it's a national good you're always going to have elites you're always

01:00:11.640 going to have the matthew principle where you know some people just really accelerate and they do a

01:00:16.620 lot of really good things and their wealth is going to accelerate behind them what we want to

01:00:21.040 do is we want to make sure that they're in we i think of it in terms of investments and incentives

01:00:26.140 and maybe that's taxes maybe that's grants whatever but you want to incentivize capital

01:00:31.480 you you don't want to outlaw people doing free market stuff but you want to incentivize good

01:00:37.200 movement so i love this when trump was like okay car companies you're going to move your

01:00:41.700 manufacturing facility to mexico and we're going to lose all these jobs out of detroit

01:00:44.960 well up yours i'm going to tear a few 50 100 if you try and sell those cars back to america

01:00:49.560 and that's the difference that's incentivizing capital that's national populism a a globe this

01:00:54.560 is globalism versus nationalism this is goes all the way back to 2016 how we used to always talk

01:00:59.040 about this and so it's this idea of like an international capital system versus i i you know

01:01:05.660 you, you asked me the other day on the show, you know, like, well, well, do you believe in

01:01:09.420 capitalism? Like, what do you stand for? I'm like, I'm like, well, a nationalist populism. And I

01:01:13.580 guess, I guess the way you would, you would combine it is just say like a national capitalism,

01:01:17.900 right? So the idea of where you support the free market, but you also have borders, you have an

01:01:22.620 identity, you have heritage, you have a country at the same time, and that we're not, we're not

01:01:27.700 pushing these things at the, you know, at the dearth or at the, you know, to the, to the damage

01:01:33.980 of our country right and you have listen you have joshua lisek sitting there with like 15 000

01:01:38.600 haitians over in in ohio right now you know totally i i in and by the way reagan famously

01:01:44.440 used tariffs to protect national industries didn't nixon do it as well uh i know the founders did it

01:01:50.640 i wouldn't say that nixon's protectionism was very successful overboard on price controls

01:01:56.160 price controls is different right but uh what other what other presidents famously use protection

01:02:01.220 used tariffs or whatever to protect

01:02:04.360 national industries. Lincoln?

01:02:06.040 Lincoln, okay. The founders did. The founding generation

01:02:08.440 absolutely did. Well, the founders did a lot of

01:02:10.360 tariffs just for revenue.

01:02:12.720 Like, protectionism

01:02:14.120 to cultivate native industry

01:02:16.200 definitely a late 1800s

01:02:18.200 thing, because you had Britain super dominant

01:02:20.340 and then the US wants to grow their own

01:02:22.060 manufacturing rather than just

01:02:24.120 not mercantilism. Sorry,

01:02:25.700 it's mostly like cotton and clothing

01:02:28.260 and stuff. Oh, no, it was

01:02:30.040 it was just early manufacturing so uh textiles spinning jennies and all of that stuff uh

01:02:36.240 yeah you know it's and there's other countries that have made that work on your take historically

01:02:40.600 speaking looking back has protectionist policies mostly been have you seen it deployed well and

01:02:47.760 do you in general support it or you general don't support it it can be done well but i would say

01:02:53.600 the default is it doesn't work great uh there's a lot of i mean reagan well there's a lot of truck

01:02:59.500 industry right there's a lot of political pressure to just turn it into pure rent seeking so you

01:03:04.400 protect a failing business from its own failures and that yeah and there it's so easy to do that

01:03:11.340 like examples where it's been successful i mean this is dark to say examples where it's been

01:03:16.360 successful it's often worked in authoritarian countries where you have an authoritarian guy

01:03:20.460 who can like for who can basically like sabotage any attempt to make it a political racket so

01:03:25.420 if you're korea south korea did pretty successful protectionism and what they had to do is for

01:03:30.260 example they say we want to develop a car industry in korea and one of the things that they do under

01:03:36.480 their autocracy is they say we're making we're training you so that you can be an export market

01:03:40.840 to other countries so we're not we're basically not going to let you kate just cater to the korean 0.99

01:03:45.340 market you have to be able to export and if you're not good at it we're going to like cut this off 0.92

01:03:49.840 and like you basically have to really you use it to protect your industry but if you're using it

01:03:54.360 to just protect it from its own failures

01:03:56.380 as opposed to just protect it enough

01:03:58.340 to grow and become competitive

01:03:59.660 and it can't be sabotaged or dumped

01:04:02.520 or overwhelmed by a richer foreign competitor.

01:04:05.060 It's not going to work.

01:04:05.660 Okay, but what about U.S. Steel, for example?

01:04:07.620 We have to make our own steel.

01:04:08.780 We've got to make our own vitamin C.

01:04:10.060 We've got to make our own cars and rockets

01:04:12.140 and military equipment.

01:04:12.680 National good.

01:04:14.340 Once again, the national good.

01:04:16.520 What I would say is you have to be careful

01:04:18.240 because it's very easy for that, again,

01:04:20.460 to just turn into really expensive rent-seeking.

01:04:23.840 protecting like businesses you're yeah you're protecting an obsolete business that shouldn't

01:04:28.580 but that's why you want a lot of competition domestically as well so like basically you

01:04:33.060 want dodge you want if you're doing protectionism it should be for the sake of allowing you to build

01:04:38.880 up an industry that is then globally competitive and that is what china has been successful at

01:04:45.200 that is what korea has been successful at but if you want i mean there are plenty of countries

01:04:49.640 where they just do that protectionism to protect their local company that is useless and their 0.98

01:04:54.480 the product is garbage and you're forced to buy this garbage product yeah fair enough fair enough 0.96

01:04:58.520 yeah i'll tell you guys speaking of china right now um one thing i noticed in in europe dude 0.97

01:05:03.660 there's chinese cars everywhere and and i'll tell you what else what else uh the technology so when

01:05:10.440 we were doing like uber and sometimes we get picked up in them and i was like oh let's let's

01:05:15.240 let's try it out right the byd and different um different uh geely is another one that's out there

01:05:20.600 and um they're nice the technology looks remarkably similar to that of a tesla i gee i wonder why

01:05:28.920 and um and they're and i was talking to some of the drivers and they were saying like yeah these 0.92

01:05:34.040 cars are really cheap so they're nice cars they're cheap china's bringing their a-game when it comes 0.99

01:05:39.320 to when it comes to the car industry they're bringing scariest thing about chinese cars is 1.00

01:05:43.160 very quickly the scariest thing about chinese car industry is they didn't have a car industry

01:05:46.740 at all basically in 2012 yeah well elon should i know that's that to me it's bizarre because when 0.68

01:05:53.500 i lived in china i don't remember any chinese cars and now i go to europe and i see chinese

01:05:59.360 like car brands so europe should probably engage in some protectionism against chinese cars maybe

01:06:04.520 because they have a huge car industry in europe anyway zuzu's pedal says they are upset they can't

01:06:08.980 afford a burrito people are under communism will never ever have a burrito ever explain our our

01:06:15.360 us to gen z uh i explain this to gen z yeah fair enough i mean you don't get a lot of options in

01:06:22.040 a communist society okay um uh hold on we i want this is the one you're in i don't mean to pivot

01:06:28.680 can i respond to that oh sure just real quick um here's here's the problem is a lot of this a lot

01:06:34.540 this is emotional and it's fear-based right and the problem is you're and embarrassed said this

01:06:38.980 so perfectly on on human events the other day he said you're never going to make people more scared

01:06:45.040 of socialism than they are of not being able to pay their bills or feed their kids

01:06:50.880 and and that's the fight fair enough um so this is i don't mean to pivot too abruptly here but

01:06:58.440 we're running out of time here and i want to make sure that we have some time to address that

01:07:04.440 This is the one-year anniversary.

01:07:05.920 You tipped me off to this.

01:07:07.320 Yeah, I tipped you off because Noah tipped me off to it.

01:07:10.020 Oh, fair enough.

01:07:10.300 Full credit there.

01:07:12.000 Why don't you say it, then?

01:07:13.120 The one-year anniversary.

01:07:14.400 Today, specifically today, is the one-year anniversary of, I think,

01:07:18.820 one of our fondest memories, all of us,

01:07:20.580 which is Charlie got a South Park episode about him.

01:07:23.940 Yes.

01:07:24.240 And we were all very excited.

01:07:25.660 We all watched it as soon as it came out.

01:07:28.340 One-year mark of the Charlie South Park episode.

01:07:31.960 That was so funny.

01:07:32.880 He was so excited.

01:07:33.640 it was very funny because he was i remember him being very tentative like

01:07:36.820 is this a good thing is this a good thing and we're like yes i remember i remember the first

01:07:41.620 thing so we put it in our group chat and it was in our thought crime chat and he goes

01:07:45.720 like what do i do like and it was like jack me blake everybody was just like

01:07:53.340 this is awesome south park guy no because he was like how bad is this and and we're like

01:07:58.360 dude just ride the wave be happy about it it's awesome okay i can do that let's show some of

01:08:03.080 the highlights. Do you remember him saying, because remember, so the way it worked was

01:08:06.240 there was the trailer that came out first where you could see like that clip. That's what I'm

01:08:11.100 talking about. I think it was even just a screenshot first. But my point is, yeah, it was

01:08:15.060 a screenshot. But my point is he didn't know how bad he was going to be, you know, lampooned or

01:08:20.280 whatever, you know, in the, in the episode. So he was, he was saying the danger. And I guess we

01:08:24.960 all kind of were talking about it. The danger was, you know, what if he leans in on it and they like

01:08:29.600 destroy him in the episode and it's just it's just really bad and i and i remember we were all just

01:08:35.120 kind of like doesn't matter dude just embrace it just go all the way in go literally all the way

01:08:39.760 in and no matter what they say just laugh and that's exactly what he did it was genius okay

01:08:44.520 25 is the setup i'm gonna trust faz on this i don't know what this is 25

01:08:48.500 welcome to the channel guys looks like a lot of whiny babies have a problem with what i say so

01:08:59.380 prove me wrong. 0.99

01:09:01.240 Hey, hey, Clad.

01:09:02.840 You said nothing good ever came from the Jews, but 1.00

01:09:05.140 if that's true, why are bagels 1.00

01:09:07.300 so yummy? Yeah.

01:09:09.140 Well, you've obviously been taught by the Jews to have a problem with this 1.00

01:09:11.380 school and with America, so let me ask you this. What is your 0.99

01:09:13.360 definition of a woman? 1.00

01:09:14.900 What is my what? What is a woman? 1.00

01:09:17.020 It's a very simple question. 0.76

01:09:19.480 Well, a woman is a lady

01:09:21.240 friend who, you know, gives you kisses.

01:09:23.380 You see, you can't answer the question, but something is male

01:09:25.300 or it is female. Both signs and scripture agree to that.

01:09:27.480 And that's just the truth. Next.

01:09:29.380 What's to be totally destroyed?

01:09:31.840 Oh, jeez. 0.50

01:09:33.460 Did you call the girls' soccer team a Marxist indoctrination factory? 1.00

01:09:37.460 That is correct.

01:09:38.520 We actually beat the boys four to nothing, you know.

01:09:40.780 You can whine about American Depression all you want,

01:09:42.620 but you're using an iPhone made by the free market

01:10:36.280 It's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen. 1.00

01:10:39.740 First of all, I just think it's hilarious. 1.00

01:10:41.220 And secondly, the whole thing is like, wait, so a campus thing I've been doing for 13 years to debate random college kids has now been so important that it gets prominent primetime placement on Comedy Central.

01:10:55.200 I think the whole thing is just awesome.

01:10:58.140 and hilarious there's so much more i want to say about this but the whole shtick by the way

01:11:02.400 comedy central you south park you crushed the water i compulsively drink water on campus it's

01:11:08.680 like okay boom we gotta stay hydrated now the lozenges we gotta work a little by the way the

01:11:14.440 holy bible right next to it i even said on this campus tour i was gonna bring a holy bible with

01:11:19.800 me to every single campus dub oh i never noticed i actually genuinely never noticed the water thing

01:11:26.900 until South Park made fun of it.

01:11:28.620 Oh, I did.

01:11:28.920 And then I started to see it everywhere.

01:11:30.840 And the tea and the lozenges.

01:11:32.400 But he would always set down the mic

01:11:34.180 and then drink his water.

01:11:36.540 Okay, so we have some more.

01:11:37.920 Do we want to play some more?

01:11:38.560 Yeah, let's do another one.

01:11:39.760 This is the master debating part.

01:11:41.260 Let's do 26.

01:11:44.380 Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1.00

01:11:45.900 but a body growing inside a woman's body 1.00

01:11:47.340 is not her body.

01:11:48.480 It's a completely separate beat.

01:11:51.520 Eric, what are you doing?

01:11:53.620 I'm sorry, Mom.

01:11:55.020 You told me to go to sleep,

01:11:55.940 but I started master debating again.

01:11:58.040 This is really getting to be a problem, Eric.

01:12:00.680 Mom, you don't understand.

01:12:01.740 I'm getting really good at this.

01:12:03.080 I have my arguments down rock solid. 1.00

01:12:04.720 These young college girls are totally unprepared, 1.00

01:12:06.320 so I can just destroy them 1.00

01:12:07.520 and also edit out all the ones that actually argue back well.

01:12:09.900 It just feels so good.

01:12:11.440 I understand it feels good,

01:12:13.080 but that doesn't mean you do it all the time.

01:12:15.780 I'm sorry, Mommy.

01:12:17.140 Put the computer away 1.00

01:12:18.320 and leave those poor college girls alone. 1.00

01:12:21.300 Okay, I won't master debate anymore tonight. 1.00

01:12:50.220 the lid off and before he can get a drink and he sets it back down and grabs the mic and shuts down

01:12:55.460 the person he's debating with which you do all the time where you're almost gonna take a drink

01:12:59.700 putting down then you set it down to get your point in putting down that's it put it back yeah

01:15:49.100 Construction paper, Charlie.

01:15:50.340 Why? By hand?

01:15:52.040 No, he said by hand in my ear.

01:15:54.000 Michael, you are an artist.

01:15:57.100 And I have to play this clip before we end, though,

01:16:00.140 because this is CK just kind of just taking in

01:16:05.320 what he had accomplished on a cultural level.

01:16:08.140 We didn't play 24, right, Foz?

01:16:09.760 We still have 24?

01:16:12.160 All right, play 24.

01:16:13.460 And I mean, it's needless to say that what we have done

01:16:16.700 has really um has permeated the culture i think more so than we even realize at times right

01:16:23.500 as the actual i mean we know it's big i know it's broad we know it's impactful but i will this is i

01:16:28.940 will this is a whole join you in that charlie i have i wish i would have shut up there and not

01:17:34.460 yeah well mikey you remember those days well i know i miss those days man these videos are

01:17:46.400 yeah i'll put it that way it's i'm at a point with it now where where it's like i'm glad we

01:17:52.740 have stuff like that on video you know because that i mean that's that reaction i mean that's

01:18:00.280 one of the one of the most genuine moments of charlie i've ever seen on air that is just his

01:18:05.240 genuine true reaction he's not you know performing he's not uh you know playing for the crowd or

01:18:14.920 you know speaking to a you know this this this huge arena it's just charlie it's charlie being

01:18:19.720 a dude he's just being a bro and watching a show that is you know obviously uh targeting him and

01:18:25.480 he's he's being a good sport about it and he's having a laugh with his friends and that's uh

01:18:29.480 That's cool to have.

01:18:30.860 It's just really cool to have.

01:18:32.380 Mikey, why don't you take us home?

01:18:35.300 Burritos are great.

01:18:37.760 Not according to Michael Knowles.

01:18:40.220 No.

01:18:40.840 They're overrated.

01:18:42.220 No, Knowles said he didn't like them, I think.

01:18:44.180 Jack Posobiec is actually a communist.

01:18:46.220 No.

01:18:46.580 Just kidding.

01:18:47.140 I'm just kidding.

01:18:47.640 I'm just kidding.

01:18:48.200 Jack Posobiec is, in fact.

01:18:49.560 He's a national capitalist.

01:18:50.300 Which I like that.

01:18:51.500 It's not bad.

01:18:52.040 It's a good...

01:18:52.600 I like the breakdown.

01:18:53.600 National capitalism.

01:18:54.180 I kind of wish you were able to break it down last time.

01:18:57.000 Yeah.

01:18:57.140 Because everybody clipped you out of context.

01:18:59.460 Everyone's going to go viral.

01:19:00.860 I had no idea.

01:19:01.720 They clipped it without any of the stuff that I said after it.

01:19:06.280 I had no idea that the burrito debate was going to go viral.

01:19:09.660 You never know.

01:19:10.340 I think the consensus is, though, just as we're closing out,

01:19:13.420 that Chipotle is much better than Qdoba.

01:19:16.220 No, that's so completely wrong.

01:19:18.980 We're going to run up.

01:19:21.040 They're the same thing.

01:19:22.480 I'm tweeting it right now, and we're going to find out, Mikey McCoy.

01:19:25.980 Do a poll.

01:19:26.620 Do a poll.

01:19:27.400 That would be great.

01:19:28.040 Do an actual poll.

01:19:29.140 Because my polls keep getting hijacked, so we're just going to do it like a comment.

01:19:34.760 We should just get two burritos made, like one at a Qdoba and one at a Chipotle.

01:19:39.320 Oh, do like a blind taste test?

01:19:40.640 Do a Pepsi challenge with it.

01:19:42.120 And a price test.

01:19:42.940 Yeah, I like that.

01:19:44.500 Who's doing it cheaper?

01:19:45.920 It's got to be in the similar way.

01:19:46.860 Well, Qdoba is more expensive by default, but I think you get free guac, or did they get rid of that?

01:19:50.760 That's how it was like a decade ago.

01:19:51.940 Anything free is gone.

01:19:53.140 They've gotten rid of that.

01:19:54.820 Actually, when I was at Kidoba, when I put in the order,

01:19:58.680 I noticed that when I chose guac, it did not charge me extra.

01:20:02.760 All right, Mikey, take us home.

01:20:04.540 All right.

01:20:06.160 How do you want me to take this out?

01:20:07.960 How would you choose?

01:20:08.720 Okay, I'll close with this.

01:20:10.100 Okay.

01:20:11.740 I am really thankful for this last year,

01:20:15.380 and I miss Charlie, like, so much.

01:20:19.860 And watching those videos made me really miss him.

01:20:23.320 and like entering you know this episode it was really fun to like joke about burritos and stuff

01:20:28.480 and talk about all this stuff and make jokes and wear these hats and everything but like it is

01:20:33.960 crazy to sit in this studio and like just how much i miss him and like just seeing his smile

01:20:39.580 and his laugh in those videos is like you know the the best we can do is just continue to like

01:20:45.680 move on as as best we can i'm really proud of us so i i have had a lot thrown at us and we've and

01:20:51.420 And we should say, Blake, thank you for reminding us that it was the one year because, you know, that we have to remember the good stuff.

01:20:58.760 I'm just, I'm really grateful.

01:21:00.420 I've mentioned, I was really grateful Charlie got to see Japan, walk around Korea that last weekend.

01:21:05.700 And I'm really grateful he got to see the South Park.

01:21:07.900 Yeah.

01:21:08.380 So you take it out, take it home with go out there and commit more thought crime.

01:21:12.080 Go out there and commit more thought crime.

01:21:16.820 Thought crime is death.

01:21:21.420 Thank you.
