Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 54 — Olympic Breakdancing？ Secret Kamala Voters？ Kamalanomics？

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to this week's edition of Thought Crime. Today, myself,

00:00:05.020 Charlie, and the gang break down what exactly was those Olympics there in Paris, and then

00:00:12.760 Kamala-nomics. Are we in a populism arms race? I think we are. Folks, stay tuned. We're about

00:00:19.480 to commit more thought crimes. From the age of big brother. If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:25.620 The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone. They're collecting your communications.

00:00:41.080 Okay, everybody, happy Thought Crime Thursday. We are here with the appropriate thought crimes for you.

00:00:46.940 I believe we have Blake, we have Tyler, and do we have Jack? That's right, we have a full roster here.

00:00:53.660 Blake, Tyler, and Jack. Lots to get into, and the last couple weeks we've kind of been doing

00:00:59.300 political analysis. Blake, I have to say, I saw a little bit of breakdancing. I was pretty impressed

00:01:05.800 by what I saw, but the world is losing its mind, and I saw this clip of some Australian woman, 0.61

00:01:11.240 and I finally said to myself, I could do that. I could be an Olympic athlete. I finally found

00:01:17.100 something I could do. Not all the breakdancers, but one in particular. Blake, explain.

00:01:21.180 All right, so we have new sports every Olympics. They always are trying to make it hip and cool

00:01:27.400 for young people, and it was really convoluted. The full story is funny. There are ballroom dancing

00:01:33.040 enthusiasts who've been fighting for years to have ballroom dancing in the Olympics,

00:01:36.640 but it's perceived as an old-fashioned activity. If you want to call it a sport, go for it.

00:01:42.780 And so they thought, we need to get something in the door, and so they got the International Olympic

00:01:47.320 Committee to add breakdancing, which they renamed breaking, just breaking, to make it a sport.

00:01:54.200 And they added it in, and they had at least a one-off gold medal breaking event for men's and

00:02:01.480 women's in the Olympics in Paris. They did it in the final weekend of the Olympics, just before the

00:02:07.380 closing ceremonies. And rather notoriously, this woman calling herself Ray Gunn, they actually went 1.00

00:02:14.540 by their dancer nicknames in the Olympics, which was pretty amazing. And she entered as the woman

00:02:21.440 from Australia, and she was not very good at breakdancing. You can see our B-roll there.

00:02:27.840 She's more impressive than I would be. You're pretty confident you could do it, Charlie. I probably could

00:02:32.820 not do these moves. I am truly the worst dancer in the world. I mean, if it was my job, no, I mean,

00:02:37.560 but, like, that's not dancing. That's just kind of rhythmic movements. I mean, if that's your full-time

00:02:42.580 job to be an Olympic athlete, is there anything that you're looking there, guys, that you're saying,

00:02:46.380 no, I can't do that? Like, I mean, let's be very clear. Go ahead. I want the breakdancing dad to get

00:02:53.080 in on this. Do you guys remember the breakdancing dad who was having that, like, war on TikTok with his

00:02:58.680 daughter? He was, like, this 60-year-old guy, and she was, like, attacking him, and then he started

00:03:04.240 making these, like, really long, detailed videos about her. It went super viral. Yeah, that was

00:03:09.300 really brutal, because I just came away kind of thinking less of both people involved. I, like,

00:03:15.380 it was a very sad... I love the way he was explaining things. He was this 65-year-old breakdancing dad,

00:03:21.500 Trump supporter, and would have these, like, really detailed, like, rebuttals to his daughter.

00:03:27.680 She says I didn't raise them to, and went off to pursue breakdancing. Well, here's photos of us

00:03:34.400 together. Here's a list of things that I got for her birthday overall, and he would have, like, each

00:03:38.940 itemized gift. You know, when I look, there's something about the breakdancing community. I'm

00:03:44.200 telling you, this is not, you know, I didn't even think, can I just say, I didn't know that breakdancing

00:03:49.360 was a thing after, like, Vanilla Ice stopped being a thing. So where is all this coming from?

00:03:55.600 Yeah. So Charlie's confident he could do it, but let's show, just to show it's not all

00:03:59.840 Ray Gun doing weird, like, kangaroo moves. To be clear, I could not, I could score a zero in

00:04:05.860 breakdancing. I could, I, I, how do I preface it? The people that actually won medals did stuff that

00:04:10.420 I couldn't even get close to doing. Show 158, show 158. It's a, it's B-roll, it's B-roll, so you can

00:04:16.380 keep talking, but I wanted to show it. And, uh, that is Phil Wizard, the gold medal for, uh, he was from

00:04:22.240 Canada, I believe. No, I mean, come on, that's, that's completely out of control. I couldn't even

00:04:25.800 get, of course, no, no, no, no, no. No, that's what I said. I actually watched some of the breaking

00:04:32.200 final and I was like, I can't do any of that. And then this Australia person goes viral and I didn't

00:04:36.060 see it live. I was like, this has got to be a joke. Did you guys watch the wall climbing?

00:04:40.580 I did not always sport climbing. That was really impressive. Oh man, I could not, as soon as that

00:04:48.860 came on, I couldn't take my eyes off wall climbing. It was like literally speed climbing or speed

00:04:53.720 climbing. It's like, like straight up the face of a wall without like hardly even touching anything

00:04:58.060 within seconds. It's like, it was the craziest thing to watch. Are they like harnessed or

00:05:03.020 they're harnessed? Yeah, they're harnessed, but they go so fast. That's like, they hardly touch

00:05:07.880 anything. It's like, like Spider-Man walking up a wall. It's crazy. It's like, they let

00:05:11.640 it take. That's really, that's pretty cool. I'm trying to think what else could they, so

00:05:19.380 there's a big debate on whether breakdancing belongs. And what's funny is a lot of people

00:05:23.120 in the breaking community, they debate this because for some of them, they say it's an

00:05:28.960 artistic aesthetic thing. And once you make it a sport, you have to be able to judge it

00:05:33.660 objectively. So like you take away, you know, you won't innovate in breakdancing because

00:05:39.080 you won't get prizes for that necessarily. And that apparently is what happened in figure

00:05:43.540 skating. Like figure skating used to be a much more artistic medium. And then as the

00:05:48.680 winter Olympics got more popular, you had these codified ways of scoring figure skating.

00:05:54.420 And now it's much more rote what you actually do. And same with gymnastics. I think there's

00:05:59.420 much more emphasis on basically, can you do this many backflips, which has been great for

00:06:04.860 the US because we're good at producing backflip doers, but there's way less artistry to your

00:06:10.860 dancing and like the floor exercise than there used to be. So it's kind of an interesting

00:06:15.240 question. I looked this up and in the old, like in the really early Olympics, they had

00:06:20.060 things like, like painting and sculpting were in the Olympics and you would just do a painting

00:06:24.200 or sculpture on an athletic subject and you could get a medal in that. It'd be kind of

00:06:28.460 cool to bring that back.

00:06:30.520 Wasn't, wasn't, didn't something that happened with skateboarding? Cause I remember like,

00:06:33.520 like Tony Hawk won a gold medal or something in the nineties, but then like they removed

00:06:39.160 it from the Olympics and then they brought it back or something like it was trying to remember

00:06:43.840 I've done enough Tim pole episodes where I'm sure he's talked about it and I'm like

00:06:47.300 looking at my phone, but, um, but I know that that's something that went on with skateboarding

00:06:51.460 where it was sort of like, it was a sport that it wasn't a sport that is going to be

00:06:55.100 you know olympic sport i think it's one again i think it's only been it maybe was a demonstration

00:07:02.060 event earlier they sometimes do that they used to do demonstration events that wouldn't get medals

00:07:06.260 now they only do i think they've only done it in uh this olympics in the last one and apparently

00:07:12.320 japan is amazing at olympic skateboarding they have won there are eight total gold medals in

00:07:18.060 skateboarding in the last two olympics and japan's won five of them so america's getting

00:07:22.520 clowned on in olympic skateboarding it seems well what is the like what is what is the point of

00:07:28.800 the olympics like like why do you think that we that the olympics exist and and are there serving

00:07:33.940 that purpose well i don't know i think originally the idea was like the olympics should be about

00:07:40.760 you know the brotherhood of mankind and celebrating high levels of academic achievement but it appears

00:07:46.840 the main things about the olympics are uh allowing like various autocracies to show off and also like

00:07:56.180 i don't know like weird demonic opening ceremonies those those seem to be the two main purposes of

00:08:01.280 the olympics and then they have some athletic stuff too i i like it obviously all the the pagan stuff

00:08:09.220 whatever i see my best memories growing up were watching the olympics and cheering for the country

00:08:13.520 i love of course it's fallen from grace and some of the athletes are just hard to watch and how they

00:08:18.280 behave and how they disregard the country let's play yeah put 159 as i'm saying this is tyler's

00:08:23.080 speed climbing but i will say despite china has an entire bureau of olympic training just so we are

00:08:29.600 clear that that's tyler's sport right there it's just insane um i i agree it was super impressive like

00:08:35.520 in six seconds you get up the the the wall so that's the that's the women too the men were going faster 0.99

00:08:40.540 china's well no it's true china spends hundreds of millions of dollars maybe even billions

00:08:48.300 of their government money trying to develop the best sharpshooters we don't do any of that in this

00:08:54.620 country which is i think kind of cool uh the fact that it's all largely organic and it's largely just

00:09:00.060 people that dedicate themselves to the craft and we tied china in gold medals that's all that really

00:09:04.660 matters by the way the gold medal count they'll try to there's like this new psyop by the way

00:09:08.520 in the media where they try to tell you oh america's leading in total medals but we're tied

00:09:13.960 all that medals all that matters is gold medals that was our cope you can easily get it was our

00:09:19.880 2008 olympics yeah like i think that was the first time they did that when yeah when china won all the

00:09:26.440 golds and by the way when you host an olympics you have a huge built-in advantage not only is it home

00:09:30.880 home field advantage the crowd is with you you know all of the training grounds earlier able to get

00:09:35.520 access to all of them months sometimes even years in advance you also are able to fill a lot of slots

00:09:40.920 if you're the host country just by being the host country you're able to have more people compete

00:09:44.760 so there's definitely home field advantage that's why that's why france did well that's why london uh

00:09:49.120 uk london did well in 2012 anyway i'm a sucker for the olympics what it should be jack is an

00:09:54.140 appreciation of excellence and people that really harness their craft and what country is able to

00:09:59.320 achieve that excellence collectively if you will uh in the best way and i mean collectively in the most

00:10:04.960 non-communistic non-kamala harris way possible but the olympics has kind of become is and blake is

00:10:10.240 right is what country can either cheat the most china's their bunch of cheaters russia was not even 0.88

00:10:14.080 in this olympics by the way you want to talk about a complete blackout in our media russia did not

00:10:18.820 compete in this olympics there was almost no mention of that in our media and it was all because of the

00:10:23.840 war with ukraine and so russia is almost always up there with the metal count they're a bunch of

00:10:27.800 cheaters too especially when it comes to gymnastics and so i it was sad watching parts of this

00:10:33.140 olympics part of it i thought was really great and really inspiring i love watching the swimmers

00:10:37.440 because that's objectively one of the hardest things to do and that i think has still been it's

00:10:42.040 been corrupted by a lot of doping and stuff like that but some of the sports that china was winning

00:10:48.460 in were just these obscure like table tennis um skeet shooting i mean stuff that is not it's just it's

00:10:56.020 not exactly mainline olympic events that you would think about and america still dominates in track and

00:11:01.320 field i will say that was really really neat to see still dominating on the track and field the

00:11:05.340 question is for you guys what sport that is not yet an olympic sport should be added as an olympic

00:11:10.140 sport paintball paintball wow i feel like i haven't heard about paintball since 2003 or so like it was

00:11:18.800 really really big that's one of my favorites for the jd vance voters agree with uh paintball is cool

00:11:26.020 paintball is cool it just does feel like it's fallen off people thought do people think i get creeped out

00:11:30.360 they thought it was like mass shooter training or something because because um the problem with it

00:11:34.900 is that speedball is usually the more spectator sport the more competitive version of paintball

00:11:40.500 and speedball is just kind of like i don't know it kind of sucks speedball is just like whoever gets

00:11:44.900 the most expensive equipment whoever gets the uh the marker that fires the most you know with like the

00:11:52.640 you know electronic hopper and everything it's like zip zip zip and then you can shoot the most and

00:11:57.360 you win the end so it just becomes like a gear fight whereas the the actual much more fun version

00:12:03.200 of paintball much more interesting version of paintball is woods ball that's the original version

00:12:07.360 of it and uh that's where it's two teams and you've got like a much wider uh space a wider area so it

00:12:14.160 requires strategy it requires cunning it's it's basically like small unit tactics in the infantry

00:12:19.840 something like that so you know i i've always enjoyed that version of paintball much much more than speedball

00:12:25.360 how about each other uh i'm i'm excited because the 2028 olympics are gonna have lacrosse in them

00:12:33.200 it's modified lacrosse it's three it's six six v six so it's like box lacrosse type rules um but

00:12:41.760 there's no there's no long poles but it's it's still cool like it's almost a guaranteed win for the

00:12:46.960 americans if we put together a decent team so all right okay i love all i think docs bros will turn out

00:12:53.360 dodgeball okay i'm gonna i'm just gonna give a troll answer i think it'd be fun if we revived

00:12:58.320 some of the uh ancient greek events that have fallen into abeyance okay uh one this would legit

00:13:04.640 be good pancradian which you could probably just do as basically modern ufc mixed martial arts

00:13:09.840 pancradian was ancient greek it was like anything goes wrestling and you just went until someone said

00:13:17.440 uncle and the only things that were banned i think were like squeezing someone's junk eye gouging and

00:13:24.720 biting and i think everything else went and there's like accounts from ancient greece where like someone

00:13:30.480 would i think a guy wins the pancradian final and then like immediately dies oh yeah uh it's crazy

00:13:37.200 the other thing that'd be cool they had uh armored race so you would race while wearing battle armor

00:13:42.720 okay it'd be like a full like 200 meter dash but wearing a full suit of ancient greek armor uh and

00:13:49.920 then they had like ancient pentathlon so we have the modern pentathlon which was ripping this off

00:13:54.800 so the modern pentathlon is this weird track sport uh where it's i think it's is it running riding a

00:14:01.600 horse uh pistol shooting um and a few other events and it's sort of supposed to be skills that would be

00:14:09.520 useful for a modern soldier caught behind enemy lines but they had the ancient pentathlon which

00:14:16.000 was basically i think the same deal but it was ancient so it had javelin throw and a few other

00:14:21.360 things so we should bring that all back and of course they should all compete in the nude because 0.89

00:14:25.680 we have to be as as trad as possible i think we should bring are you guys gonna go to the la games

00:14:32.000 it's four years from now will we have a country in four years that'll kind of depend

00:14:35.680 on what happens will be something called something called america yeah exactly it's gonna be so

00:14:42.800 frustrating where they like clean up the city of la for six months in advance and it becomes this

00:14:46.720 world-class city for like six months and it's really beautiful and there's no bums or homeless

00:14:50.960 or overdosing or gang violence and then the minute of closing ceremonies it just goes back to the purge

00:14:56.480 exactly that's what that's gonna happen that way it is interesting what you mentioned it really is

00:15:00.720 communism fails at basically everything but it is good at winning athletic events i'm looking at old

00:15:07.280 medal tables in 1988 in 1988 which was not one we boycotted in 1988 the u.s lost in medals to east

00:15:16.880 germany a country with like 15 million people uh and if you look at the top 10 that was

00:15:22.960 that was in seoul south korea yes it was in seoul and five of the top 10 countries were in the

00:15:29.120 soviet bloc soviets were number one then the east germans and then hungary bulgaria and romania were all

00:15:34.800 were six seven and eight they were those commies were really good at sports i want to make a pitch

00:15:40.000 for zorbing i just put in the chat i don't know if do you are you guys familiar with zorbing

00:15:44.800 what this would be the winter olympics right well rangers i think you could do this i think you could do

00:15:50.000 this on any landscape it's just there's higher mountains the higher elevations so zorbing you

00:15:54.880 get in this big ball and they push it and it's like you just go it's like a hamster ball and you

00:16:00.800 go down a huge mountain and the one uh the the one i dropped in the chat was some guy in russia they

00:16:06.400 pushed him down the i shouldn't be laughing okay they literally died where is the sport like

00:16:14.000 do you do anything after you start russia i guess russia has to make it back into the olympics before we can

00:16:18.800 do this i guess again but but like if you watch that like it's the big hamster ball you get in it

00:16:24.720 and they push you and you go really fast are there obstacles can you steer yeah that's what i'm saying

00:16:31.200 we should have massive courses for this it should be incredible yeah i agree it should be winter olympics

00:16:37.760 what was the year i might go to the 2026 olympics in italy oh yeah the year that that it was the russian

00:16:45.280 olympic i think was 1980 where the r so russia the soviet union had the olympics in 1980 and then

00:16:51.280 the u.s didn't even go but then they had their own games in um in philadelphia yeah like china it was

00:16:59.200 like china and china and japan came because it was after the sino-soviet split and west germany competed

00:17:05.520 but like a bunch of countries had this like you know separate like almost like a nato uh olympics versus

00:17:12.800 the the real olympics which were held in moscow that's back when the winter and the summer olympics

00:17:18.560 were held in the same year so 1980 was lake placid olympics when we hosted the winter olympics and then

00:17:23.680 the summer olympics oh yeah and now we do them yeah no no you're right no the 1980 summer olympics were

00:17:30.800 in moscow and we boycotted the summer olympics but we hosted the winter olympics because it was in lake

00:17:36.000 placid uh new york and then we started to um skewer them the olympic committee said okay well that's

00:17:42.400 the that's the sport tyler oh yeah that's zorbian that's that's the guy who didn't make it that's

00:17:49.920 the russian so yeah through every year since 1992 they were the same year and then 1994 they decided

00:17:57.280 to go summer winter in different years which i actually think is pretty good the winter olympics

00:18:02.000 has i think sports that are cooler and higher risk to your life i mean well that guy died in the

00:18:09.120 winter olympics i think it was sochi a guy died on the skeleton course it was the skeleton yeah yeah

00:18:14.320 yeah all right they don't call it skeleton the skeleton is a legit thing is so now let's let's

00:18:20.080 let's make so let's make a commitment to our listeners it is illusion and skeleton will will

00:18:25.280 thought crime come together and we will compete in 2026 olympic curling i remember when they first

00:18:33.680 added that i think the u.s team in curling was literally the low like the men's and women's local

00:18:38.480 teams for curling in bemidji minnesota so you pretty much could if you were back then now now it's harder

00:18:45.120 now like people do this seriously curling curling is serious no there's no athletic there's no athletic

00:18:51.440 acumen meaning that it does if there's guys with beer bellies that do it it's incredibly precise and

00:18:56.000 very hard but it's not exactly you have to like get in the gym and train all day long right i mean you

00:19:01.520 have to be there training the actual craft of it but i think we should submit a bid i think we should

00:19:06.960 try to compete i was looking at weird sports while we were talking about it did you know there's

00:19:11.760 something called chess boxing yes we should have chess in the olympics by the way oh there was a whole

00:19:18.480 debate about this no chess isn't a sport but it's a competition you just want to lose you just want

00:19:24.080 to give them games in the olympics too like like true games you just want china and russia to just

00:19:28.480 beat us every time like that we should be adding sports we just know we're going to lose that no

00:19:33.520 no see that's that's that's a miss america's gotten actually better over the last 20 years

00:19:37.760 and closed closed the chess gap believe it or not if you look at the international chess rankings

00:19:42.080 the the number one chess player in the world i think is like lithuanian right that one guy

00:19:46.800 norwegian magnus carlson let me see no no yeah yeah yeah that's right yeah yeah yeah you're right

00:19:50.720 yeah yeah magnus carlson yeah he had that little controversy the guy's unbelievable wait but have you

00:19:58.080 seen this chess boxing yeah yeah it's like you do a few that's right yeah we have number two and three

00:20:04.320 in chess hikaru nakamura and fabiano karuna are both us yeah and the best is magnus carlson it's not even

00:20:11.760 close uh they say he's the best ever to play the game better than bobby fisher gilbert arizona used to be

00:20:16.320 the chess capital of america did you know that why is that right yeah it was for a while because

00:20:22.080 bobby fisher going all the children all the elementary schools were like the best in the

00:20:25.920 country chess it was like a really weird thing wow that was crazy is that in like the word of

00:20:31.920 wisdom you know magnus carlson magnus carlson will show up late to matches against people meaning like

00:20:37.840 when his time is still running out and he'll still he'll literally just like be distracted texting

00:20:42.640 people and will still win it's he's he's the greatest ever to play yeah he's got it figured

00:20:48.560 out i just i think it'd be fun in the olympics the problem is truly it would have to be like blitz

00:20:53.120 chess or whatever because the true like the world chess championship when they're actually contesting

00:20:57.440 it is deranged it'll be like i think they'll spend a whole day on a game and they'll play 14 15 days

00:21:04.000 straight and eight or nine of the matches will just be draws because with high level chess players most

00:21:08.800 of their games are just draws now see the problem you have to use the timer though blake that's

00:21:13.120 yeah yeah yeah the the problem the problem is a slippery slope here guys like if you introduce

00:21:18.160 chess all of a sudden we're gonna have like starcraft no it's gonna be a board game because

00:21:24.000 there's gonna be literally board game people who are gonna be like demanding creative writing

00:21:30.080 it's just we're gonna get to a point we're gonna get to a point in like a hundred years from now where

00:21:34.480 nobody wants to leave their house it's just gonna be like lame sports and the olympics will look

00:21:37.920 totally i'm an olympic maximalist every event should be in the olympics yeah but that that's wrong and

00:21:44.960 here's the reason why because they're never they're going to omit so america wanted to have football as

00:21:51.600 our sport because you know the home country can pick the sport and it's flag football is coming

00:21:56.080 it's flag football we shouldn't stand for this it's in america we should be playing

00:22:01.840 full contact football who do we play against canada australia

00:22:07.680 yeah like a modified like our flag football you know it's interesting when they added three on

00:22:11.920 three basketball we thought we would win and we didn't even make the medal rounds like we got smoked 0.99

00:22:16.560 none of us can compete that's the problem yeah they put up jimmer for debt it should this is stupid 0.92

00:22:22.800 jimmer for debt jimmer for debt like got hurt like the second game what they should have done is they 0.93

00:22:29.760 should have had the best college players that are coming back for one more year to play on the three

00:22:34.640 on three basketball and they could win a gold medal would have been great practice for them there's

00:22:37.680 apparently a technicality where you have to have played in the three on three tournaments before this

00:22:42.880 and that's a big reason we don't have a good team like the nba players like it's during the nba

00:22:47.440 season they can't get released to go play these so that's why there's no nba guys who can compete

00:22:52.880 okay they answer the question because i was going to say my solution was charlie was the people who

00:22:58.080 are on the fiba team who don't make the olympics team should be on our 3v3 team you know like so we

00:23:05.520 had like your career we lost the fiba uh championship though last year which was super embarrassing yep so you

00:23:12.720 had guys on there like uh great guys great nba players but they lost the fiba championship my

00:23:18.480 solution was three like whoever is on that team that doesn't make the olympic team like the five

00:23:23.600 v five team then you put them on the three three team but that makes sense actually like that they

00:23:28.320 have to be like participate in like the the lead up but there has to be a way that the nba can figure

00:23:33.360 this out we lost we lost to germany and we lost to canada in the fiba last year and we had jalen

00:23:39.920 brunson like we had actually good players and mikel bridges and like it was like a good team like

00:23:45.200 it was a good team edwards yeah and their punishment should they should have had to play in the 3v3

00:23:51.280 if you want a thought crime if you watched usa basketball and you watch these other teams

00:23:55.440 the window of usa basketball dominance is closing and that's really it's really fascinating to see

00:24:01.120 the nba has had foreign nvps for quite some time steve kerr benching jason tatum the reigning

00:24:07.680 mvp for literally every game was one of the most like inexcusable moves i mean devin booker's fine i

00:24:15.120 wouldn't put him at the same level as jason tatum and devin booker played like the entire olympics

00:24:20.080 tyler you're an nba fan can you help me understand why you just benched jason tatum the reigning

00:24:24.480 mvp you just won an nba finals for the entire game devin devin booker you want to talk about

00:24:29.440 objective objectively devin booker's a a better fit for the starting lineup

00:24:36.720 no he yeah he he he was a off the ball didn't didn't demand the ball jason tatum demands the ball

00:24:45.440 that's that's the problem you have steph curry on the court you have you know kb at the end there 0.99

00:24:50.080 you have lebron you can't have jason tatum on there it'd be just all ball hogs 0.99

00:24:54.240 ryan in the chat is saying we should have olympic quidditch which that gets at the funny thing

00:25:00.880 that i think quidditch is like not even called quidditch anymore because like of the whole

00:25:08.560 the turf thing so they call it like quad ball or or something stupid like that yeah

00:25:15.360 yeah quidditch officially known as quad ball since 2022 because oh can't can't have the turf name 0.98

00:25:22.240 we're all oh my god i hate people

00:25:27.760 yeah but you guys know about the peter teal thing right that he was bat he and a bunch of guys like

00:25:35.680 balaji's in on this as well um they're backing something called the enhanced games so everybody

00:25:41.840 knows of course that in the olympics you get tested you know no uh performance enhancing drugs no peds

00:25:48.320 but but um peter teal and a bunch of guys are actually supporting a new olympics games where

00:25:55.040 you're allowed to take basically whatever you want i think that will be like cool exactly up

00:26:00.960 until the point that one of the competitors literally like dies because he'll take some

00:26:05.360 absolutely insane oh yeah drug regimen and then it will be controversial and someone will go to prison

00:26:11.280 you know this was that that was an snl sketch years ago and it was um bill hartman was the

00:26:18.560 weightlifter and he went to like i want to say he was deadlifting and he was deadlifting like

00:26:24.640 just some insane amount like 1500 pounds or something and then he tears his arms off and

00:26:29.280 the blood starts going all over it is interesting to imagine like what is physically possible when you go

00:26:38.560 all out but yeah it's also unpleasant like going all out probably literally would kill a person and

00:26:45.120 there are people who'd be willing to make that exchange i feel like the defense people would say

00:26:48.800 is guys who go into the nfl are like definitely shortening their lifespan and hurting their health

00:26:54.000 to make a ton of money so is it that much worse to just directly do it with drugs as opposed to by

00:27:00.720 playing you know 500 football games over the course of your life

00:27:04.080 any closing thoughts on the olympics guys before we move on

00:27:12.400 you know i think it would be more fun so i heard that the ioc is only going to be doing the olympics

00:27:17.680 in like the same locations for uh ease did you hear about this oh is this just like they're they were

00:27:23.600 countries were fed up with having to spend like a hundred billion dollars to host so they're just

00:27:27.440 going to go to cities that can host them without a lot of base yeah that's what i understand i don't

00:27:31.120 know if i i haven't really fact checked this i've just been like just heard the second hand

00:27:35.040 is that they're doing that which i think is super lame i think they should have to do the olympics and

00:27:39.600 like the most terrifying of places and and i think it's that should make it more fun like it should be

00:27:46.880 like you remember when you used to sit down at the arcade and you play like you sit down in a video game

00:27:52.640 like a like a car racing game and like you would like illogically be driving like a sports car through

00:27:59.600 like the african desert like through the sahara or through wherever i think that the game should be

00:28:04.800 played that way like i think the game it shouldn't be it should be whatever's there there should be a

00:28:11.040 limit to how much they have to spend they can spend to build stadiums and stuff like that but it should

00:28:15.440 be legitimately difficult we could go all in you could just have they don't tell you what sports are in the

00:28:20.240 olympics until you show up that to pick athletes and you send them there that's they're playing

00:28:24.560 calvin okay i like that they just make up the rules on the spot that would be a cool that would be cool

00:28:29.680 it's like you just have like an elite group of like athletes and then they all have to play different 0.97

00:28:34.480 sports they draw straws that that would be cool yeah i'm just saying i just think it's stupid that's 0.93

00:28:40.000 the same place like same venues like i i get it i get i think it should be different venues but

00:28:45.840 it's just that's just i don't know final thoughts on that so well the the upcoming olympics in 2024

00:28:53.760 is in i mean 28 is uh los angeles in 2030 is the french alps that one actually be pretty good

00:29:00.240 um and then 2032 will be in australia brisbane australia and then 2034 salt lake city and so america

00:29:11.360 gets another one in 2034 and la i'm excited about because they'll be our same time zone

00:29:16.880 yeah no seriously i totally agree i'm going to go to the la olympics for sure oh oh yeah we've got

00:29:21.600 some friends there involved so that that will be and we have the world we have the world cup we have

00:29:26.080 the world cup coming in 2026 i refuse to be excited about the world cup or the because it's it's all

00:29:31.520 of north america soccer is terrible i am not i'm not going to accept i will not accept the

00:29:37.280 popularization popularization you're being of this depraved british sport really like have you

00:29:43.040 in my country i reject reject soccer have you ever been in a country that while the world cup is going

00:29:49.440 on where they love the world cup no why would i do that oh my gosh they go crazy it's crazy everything

00:29:55.360 shuts down and like everyone is like into it yes and that's it's culturally cool i wish we had that

00:30:00.480 soccer is off we have that it's called the super bowl it's for a better sport called football

00:30:05.120 football wait wait wait wait hold on a second there was a uh there was a tweet about that

00:30:11.920 recently where it was like oh my gosh it was that guy jarvis and he goes you know how to make soccer

00:30:18.160 better like you'll appreciate this here's how you make soccer better first of all the field is too big

00:30:22.960 the field must be shrunken and instead of instead of having all the players on the teams all at once

00:30:30.880 they should be able to to move the players on and off the field whenever they want the ball is too

00:30:36.640 big it should be reduced to something small and black the the field itself uh running on grass is

00:30:42.720 too tiresome it should be covered by ice ice everywhere yeah exactly yeah it should be hit by

00:30:48.960 sticks this is how you make soccer better yeah if we had a world cup just for hockey you'd turn into a

00:30:54.480 a million times better like soccer is bad i just no they're always trying to break your spirit

00:31:00.320 the best sport to watch outside of football the whole thing with soccer is they're trying to break

00:31:05.040 your spirit by making you get into a lame sport that five-year-olds play where they kick a ball and

00:31:10.480 learn to be on a learn teamwork and they just try to break us with this they want to make soccer popular

00:31:16.720 no i refuse to care about soccer i refuse to watch soccer i refuse to know whether phoenix even

00:31:23.360 has a professional soccer team i don't know nobody tell me and we do phoenix rising i'm going to fight

00:31:30.080 you i'm going to fight you tyler i don't disagree with you on the fact that it's going to be lame

00:31:34.640 in america because no one in america cares about soccer so that the world cup in america that's not

00:31:39.360 true we're getting behind kamala harris we're going to lose in like the first round and it's going to be

00:31:44.240 embarrassing and humiliating in our own country i hope we do not get out but think about guys we have

00:31:49.360 foreigners and we have we have so many people from other countries but it like doesn't matter what 0.95

00:31:53.840 country does well it's like i mean if brazil does well we'll fill up the arena i mean yeah it's probably

00:31:58.800 true i i i'm not i'm not worried about it well the cool part is we'll have all these people from all

00:32:03.600 different countries like coming to all the cities and so it'll just be like a huge party in all these

00:32:07.120 cities but they i mean i'll tell you being in a foreign country when a team is going far i think i was in

00:32:14.240 i can't remember where i was but i was somewhere where a team was doing really well and they were

00:32:19.360 going absolutely it was crazy it was like everywhere you went you couldn't like move without something

00:32:24.960 about the world cup and everyone was happy i've never seen anything like it anywhere in the world

00:32:29.680 like in america we're just generally happy people but nobody like we're happy we're happy people because

00:32:34.640 we don't have soccer oppressing the collective consciousness the super bowl is different because

00:32:40.080 it's not like all the teams participating in a tournament and like that short a time like the

00:32:45.120 there's something about the world cup that they've got right that like i feel like college football

00:32:49.280 needs to do better like if they could maximize like the world cup type build out you know what i

00:32:55.360 mean like we should have like group play that goes into next you're going to be like we should have

00:33:00.240 promotion and relegation in u.s sports i'm just saying they get it right with something that gets

00:33:04.640 everybody so freaking excited it's crazy they're they're bored i appreciate it it's one of the only

00:33:10.400 things i appreciate outside of america is that they just do they do that right look if you want

00:33:14.800 good sports outside of america go to japan and watch japanese baseball it's great it's amazing because

00:33:19.200 it's an a good sport in a good country so it's you know good stuff combined whereas if you take a bad sport

00:33:24.720 and bad countries like france you get horrible misery and agony and so we just have to reject it 0.59

00:33:31.760 no next is so communist countries are very good at winning sporting medals as we discussed what they

00:33:40.000 are bad at is keeping food on the shelves and you know actually having economic growth in any way and

00:33:46.480 that's all highly concerning because uh we we discussed this a few months ago that democrats were

00:33:52.800 looking bad and their best option was to just go maximum populism and even though joe biden is out

00:33:58.880 it appears kamala harris has taken that advice to heart and she's going maximum populist so kamala she

00:34:06.000 hasn't done any policies for her first month she's finally rolling them out and what she's rolling out 0.94

00:34:11.040 is price controls on food and price controls on rent so that is uh that is what we are getting for

00:34:19.520 the kamala experience so she just tweeted about an hour ago uh when i am president it will be a day

00:34:25.440 one priority to bring down prices i'll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging

00:34:32.880 and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families and so you know i think we've

00:34:41.600 discussed this before but the worry is this stuff is really bad but the problem with bad economics is

00:34:47.840 bad economics can still be insanely popular and we may just get kamala riding to a victory in the

00:34:54.880 election by promising to crash the economy with no survivors

00:35:01.360 that's right uh tyler how should we counter her new thing where she says we want to give 25 000

00:35:07.840 to a family uh if they want to buy a home or for first-time home buyers man i mean this is the

00:35:14.880 conversation we i mean we talked about this a while ago right charlie of talking about uh the

00:35:19.600 land issues i mean young people just care about the land issues the democrats we know are are ready

00:35:25.120 to just give out handouts the best handout that america could give i mean this is just my opinion

00:35:30.240 without getting too deeply into this you know the best thing that we could possibly do is as republicans

00:35:35.440 be talking and educating people about taking land back from the bureau of land management i mean nothing

00:35:41.520 this is the biggest mistake that republicans have made in the west which is we should be we have

00:35:46.880 all this land that exists we should be inviting conservatives into the land and literally doing

00:35:53.360 it at a massive discount and giving people this is literally the the home america is the home of life

00:36:00.960 liberty and land that's where we started and the unfortunate part is we we have no creative people on

00:36:06.560 the conservative side talking about the ways that we can make life easier so i mean obviously who

00:36:12.880 knows if this handout that she's proposing is is true or it's real or whatever but i mean we've got

00:36:18.560 to be talking about how are we going to make you know living in a home more affordable uh for young

00:36:24.320 people i mean there's this is like a real issue that everybody talks about is like i'm gonna get out of

00:36:28.240 college and have no possible way of buying a house i mean look at the rates right now look at home

00:36:33.680 prices home prices have inflated so much there's like there's got to be an impending crash that's

00:36:38.640 coming and there's there's literally no creative ideas whatsoever so i mean i could tell you charlie

00:36:44.400 getting not too complex into this the easiest thing that we could possibly do is take back land from

00:36:49.120 the federal government and give it to people and have them homestead call it the the new homesteading act

00:36:54.800 and homestead and and you know what you know what statistically is shown charlie's gone through this

00:37:00.560 which is like if you don't do drugs if you get married if you uh you know get a job have

00:37:06.720 have a career keep a job and one of the other statistics that's out there if you own a home

00:37:11.520 if you have a home if you have any kind of land so not like a zero lot not an apartment not a condo

00:37:16.640 but actual land where you have to take care of things you're far more likely to be conservative

00:37:21.600 you're far more likely so that's right this is this is like the easiest thing that we can do without

00:37:26.560 like having influence those other social things which is like give people land and make them take

00:37:30.960 care of stuff and they're probably going to become more conservative yeah i mean it's a stakeholder

00:37:35.600 society federal government owns the entire southwest it's literally half this it's literally half of the

00:37:42.320 western united states it's it's a majority only half no i mean it's it's really close arizona i can't

00:37:49.840 remember what the what the the number is but it's like literally we could just open up take this 0.94

00:37:56.320 land back and if you had a good governor you could just be like yeah suck it you know federal

00:38:00.640 government we're just going to take the land back and start a program where number one we're going

00:38:04.720 to make all the money off this land we're going to take better care of it because a lot of the blm land

00:38:08.800 too you see all these forest fires have you ever wondered why we have forest fires across the west

00:38:13.040 and not anywhere in the in the east because it's drier well it's not just dry it's just dry parts in the

00:38:19.280 east too that happens in the southeast it happens but in the west it's it's drier but the the

00:38:25.440 bureau of land management literally doesn't take care of the forest yeah i will say i don't feel

00:38:30.400 like i never hear about like devastating wildfires in texas which is a dry place that does have trees

00:38:35.360 because they don't have blm that's the environmentalists too the environmentalists

00:38:39.440 are to blame the environmentalists say that you can't do controlled burns they just say let it burn

00:38:43.040 basically it's a huge problem with air quality in the west it's a massive problem we have the map up

00:38:47.680 here now you can see uh red is federally owned land and some of that of course is like some of

00:38:52.880 its natural national parks some of its indian reservations that's like yeah yeah very little

00:38:58.240 of it like very small the nevada one is insane now admittedly i don't know how many people who are

00:39:02.800 eager to homestead in the great basin might be uh there's a bit of a lift there and just watching

00:39:08.320 right now there's tons of beautiful land across nevada nevada has so much beautiful land and northern

00:39:14.800 arizona northern arizona southern utah yeah yeah like northern arizona northern arizona is like

00:39:19.440 appalachia except uh it's better yeah i guess yeah there's no humidity and homeless people

00:39:26.560 on the trail homeless people on the trail that's okay okay that's fair no but like this is this is

00:39:31.760 the thing is like you you could literally take back this land just gift it to people well literally

00:39:37.440 gift it to people and you immediately would have a more conservative america and plus you'd be making

00:39:42.880 money off of the taxes that would come out of it i just think about also just you know some of this

00:39:48.160 is going to be desert and not super economically viable but there's just so much stuff that so

00:39:52.720 blake let me explain that one to you think about this world in which we place nuclear power plants

00:39:57.840 and solar fields on all of the horrible horrible land where it's just you know businesses are people

00:40:04.160 too we could literally just invite it with so much of that land that's that's just like conquered by blm

00:40:11.600 by the federal government you put solar fields on those that become extremely cheap and it's not you

00:40:17.280 you don't have to you don't have to uh pay for it for the federal government either private

00:40:22.240 companies would come in and just put those in if they had access to the land they just don't

00:40:29.360 it's crazy that map of nevada is just so depressing just big fat empty state administered by blm

00:40:37.760 blm is a disaster in all iterations that's right well you want to jack your thought about the populist arms 0.96

00:40:45.040 race i want to get jack in on here your thought about the populist arms race jack and how trump

00:40:49.040 should confront it yeah look um this is going to be a thing where people are going to start throwing

00:40:56.320 out look populism sells populism is uh popular populism works um on a on a on an electoral basis that's

00:41:05.920 why donald trump has been so popular the idea being is so it's got to be twofold right donald trump's got

00:41:13.440 to number one say she's in bed with big business she's you've got to tie her to her uh her big 1.00

00:41:22.160 donors which is going to be easy to do wall street silicon valley etc so to cut her away from the 1.00

00:41:27.680 little guy which is what she's trying to go for and then look there's going to be a swath of people

00:41:31.440 that just never um that's never stops voting for the democrat party but that's fine we're talking about

00:41:36.960 people who are potentially persuadable to people who are potentially more independent or swing voters

00:41:42.000 and then what you do as well is you you also point out that she doesn't have a track record of ever

00:41:49.120 getting any of this stuff done keep saying again and again again hammering her on the fact that you

00:41:54.960 have had your day one already you're in office right now why aren't you doing this right now why

00:42:00.400 aren't you doing this right now and then just hammer up on it why aren't you doing this right now how

00:42:04.880 come you spent all this money on uh the green charging stations there's only like three bills or

00:42:09.280 whatever it's basic stuff this is all happening on your watch tie her to the incumbency but then

00:42:15.200 finally it's you also have to still campaign as a populist so you do still have to keep being uh going

00:42:22.480 for those things look trump is kind of already the one who started the arms race off and i think just

00:42:28.720 i i think you have to keep pushing that measure but not doing so in a way where you're talking about

00:42:33.120 like government controls either you know he said something about like we're going to cut energy

00:42:37.840 costs by 50 percent in our first year these are basic things that he actually has a good track

00:42:43.600 record on doing but at the same time i i think that's sitting back and and pointing out that oh

00:42:49.120 you know saying oh this isn't bad this isn't good it's not economic sound etc it's like what blake said

00:42:54.240 we know it doesn't make any economic sense we know that this leads to the soviet union we know this

00:42:58.480 leads to food shortages we know this leads to bread lines that's why we just call him breadline bernie

00:43:02.720 um but at the same time these things are extremely popular and rent and we've talked about this for a

00:43:08.400 long time that millennials particularly because of their student debt are in a huge uh at a huge

00:43:17.440 vulnerability and huge risk for debt free debt jubilee student debt relief uh style socialism and it's

00:43:24.720 something where i really think that the republicans need to come in and actually think of a very smart

00:43:31.440 way to deal with this go after the institutions go after the endowments etc to deal with this or else

00:43:37.040 you're going to get someone like a kamala harris who's going to pick up those bernie sanders policies 1.00

00:43:41.360 and walk over to uh walk over to all these millennials who are saddled with debt and are only going to become

00:43:46.960 an increasing share of the voting popular voting demographic as we go forward for the next 30 years

00:43:53.440 and this debt issue is still going to be there it's a massive bomb and republicans have quite

00:43:58.000 frankly haven't done a very good job of addressing the situation other than said to say oh well this

00:44:03.200 is your fault oh well this is your fault well guess what you know people who are sitting there voting

00:44:07.360 aren't going to vote for the person who said oh this is my fault just like it's like paul ryan

00:44:11.120 and mit romney going up there and saying oh well these these uh these entitlements are insolvent

00:44:16.320 the entitlements are insolvent we got to privatize we got to privatize we got to cut it off and you

00:44:20.240 look what happened to them electorally same thing is going to happen republicans if they

00:44:23.920 don't start mitigating their message on this yeah like how would you advise let's pretend blake neff

00:44:30.160 yeah let's just let me frame this blake your senior advisor of the trump campaign

00:44:34.080 they're throwing populist salvos at you you want to win how do you counter it oh man that it is

00:44:41.280 genuinely tough because like i said the problem is it is it's popular like you look at argentina

00:44:46.800 argentina has been an economic basket case for decades and you know javier malay barely won and 0.92

00:44:53.280 it's he's like got low approval now because people are mad that he took away all this stupid price 0.93

00:44:57.520 control stuff that was just nuking their economy this stuff once it gets in place can just stick 0.95

00:45:03.120 around forever you can just never get rid of it doesn't matter how ruinous it is so we should first

00:45:08.160 emphasize this is a real danger and you can't casually dismiss it as bad economics 101 i think

00:45:16.000 really you almost need to take an indirect approach you can't really just confront it head on you

00:45:21.840 have to remind people okay guys kamala is in she's connected to an economic regime right now it is the 1.00

00:45:29.840 biden administration and it's really bad everything she has to do everything she has to promise she 0.98

00:45:35.440 has to use as a distraction from the economy under biden has not been good inflation is really high and

00:45:44.000 she can't really avoid that because anything she says if she tries to create any distance between

00:45:50.000 herself from biden you have to basically say no okay what did you specifically disagree with biden doing

00:45:55.920 and why didn't you say anything about it then why didn't you urge them not to do it then they won't

00:46:01.280 be able to argue that they won't have any justification for that and so i think you do have to mostly

00:46:07.520 focus on the disaster of the biden administration and just really not let them detach from it as for

00:46:14.400 a populist line from trump himself i think the best way you do it is you just it's it's the strongest

00:46:21.520 argument trump had against biden was i was a president for the same amount of time that joe biden's been

00:46:26.880 president and stuff was better i think you your biggest appeal is to the success that he already had

00:46:34.080 with wage growth and all of that as opposed to specific policies because a lot of the policies

00:46:38.480 that work are just weirdly not popular and then i think you focus on the stuff that is most popular

00:46:43.600 which is probably uh being pro fracking i've seen a lot of a lot of people i've talked to have said

00:46:50.480 that plays really big in the specific states we need to win like even if fracking isn't the biggest

00:46:55.920 thing nationwide it's very big in pennsylvania uh the keystone pipeline big deal in pennsylvania

00:47:02.000 so you emphasize that you talk about specific things that the biden administration derailed

00:47:07.120 like canceling the keystone pipeline you just hammer them over that you hammer them pennsylvania

00:47:11.760 though well it wasn't but it was important to fracking you're saying they're killing demand for

00:47:16.640 america's ability to export gas and so that is an attack on uh the natural gas industry everywhere

00:47:23.440 it's a big deal it's a big deal in pennsylvania it's a big deal in some other places that we want to

00:47:28.400 compete in people might think it's in it's in pennsylvania because the pennsylvania is a keystone

00:47:32.560 state so why not just yeah exactly yeah just play it yeah even people there might think it for all

00:47:36.880 we know and yeah and like the hammer you hammer on the ban on exporting natural gas uh that was

00:47:42.640 clearly done he'll like frame it as an energy security thing but what it really was about is he

00:47:47.600 wants to make it so there's less incentive to develop american gas and so that's part of the whole green

00:47:54.160 new deal shtick so you really actually get the stuff um i was gonna throw out that trump at one

00:48:00.400 point was proposing building a pipeline from pittsburgh to philadelphia um so we have this

00:48:06.560 sort of like um shuttered uh oil refinery in philadelphia right now it's the old tinoco fields

00:48:13.360 um literally just had a fire a couple of years ago and it shut down but the idea was bring some of that

00:48:19.520 fracked natural gas from western pennsylvania and the marcellus shale find over to philadelphia and

00:48:25.760 get that plant moving up again so that would have been i mean you're talking massive massive jobs

00:48:30.240 actually come and think of it i'm kind of surprised that they aren't talking more about that because

00:48:34.560 you're now you've got jobs from the fracking side on the western side of the state and then the

00:48:40.000 refining jobs on the eastern side of the state so that's delaware county that's a lot of those blue 0.80

00:48:43.520 worker jobs yeah i'm trying to think like what's what's the strongest populist spin on a winning

00:48:50.160 economic policy it's energy stuff probably trade i think really hammering at uh at china and other

00:48:57.360 concessions like you know the the america last approach to all american foreign policy uh you talk

00:49:03.040 about the impoverishing effect of just you know mass welfare to illegal immigrants uh i think i think 0.98

00:49:09.520 securing the border is is increasingly a strong populist not just sort of not just on a crime

00:49:15.600 thing but on an economics thing you say their plan for like while they're simultaneously driving up the

00:49:21.360 price of everything they're also driving down wages by bringing in this gigantic uh illegal or

00:49:29.280 semi-legal like helot class of foreign labor that they're just dumping into every single city and 1.00

00:49:35.760 they're either taking a low-wage job or they're taking a bunch of you know welfare from your

00:49:40.640 government one or the other and there's vanishingly few actual like highly skilled

00:49:45.760 jobs that they're bringing in in comparison to those two so that's probably our best populist

00:49:50.160 counter-attack i definitely don't want us falling into an arms race which some people will be tempted

00:49:55.360 where they'll say well why don't we just promise more of you know more money for housing or more

00:50:01.440 price controls no i think that outside i think the price control stuff and the more money thing

00:50:07.040 is actually boring stuff that people don't care about because i think people actually don't listen

00:50:11.200 to that so i'll i'll tell you one one that i i mentioned that i think is really a good idea i think

00:50:17.360 you have to get strategic and pull out and say okay what do people actually care about the most

00:50:23.920 and you send her in and you focus in so one of the things that i suggested to people was like

00:50:28.960 hey you know what's really screwed up in society like all these different ticketing companies and

00:50:33.840 how they put all these like excess fees on sporting tickets and concert tickets i know this sounds really 0.71

00:50:39.200 stupid but this is like goes in line with the tax no taxes on tips thing that worked really well 0.62

00:50:44.400 which is like out of the things that you like to do that you can't do because now 1.00

00:50:49.440 bidenomics has messed up your life you know why don't we figure out fixing this problem that exists

00:50:57.200 where like tickets get passed around a thousand different times because you know the population

00:51:01.360 is so much denser in some of these places and it's impossible to get sporting tickets in some some

00:51:05.600 places for less than you know a couple hundred dollars well then they add fees on top of it

00:51:10.720 and basically you know those cultural events you can't attend price controls on taylor's

00:51:16.160 well it's not price controls it's it's it's saying you know it's controlling the fees right

00:51:21.200 which is just like and so that's just like one of those weird things he could just come out and say

00:51:25.520 i was president talked about he's called it he called it junk fees but this was this was something

00:51:30.240 that biden talked about i don't know that they ever actually did it but i do you know and i'm not i

00:51:35.040 actually i will give credit where it's due that this was something that democrats talked about from

00:51:39.680 the white house i remember uh cream john pierre talking about it at the press briefing i don't know

00:51:44.560 that it never went that it ever went away uh i certainly when i go buy tickets for things uh we went to

00:51:49.280 summer slam a couple of weeks ago from as a matter of fact in ohio and um you know plenty of hidden fees

00:51:55.280 there so you know they they haven't done anything about it but the democrats are already thinking

00:52:00.160 about this yeah but you're right you know bring it up and say look if they're going to steal ours

00:52:04.960 then we might as well steal theirs well we just need creative ideas and then come out louder about

00:52:10.400 it right like the biggest the most horrifying part about this no taxes on tips thing is like what's

00:52:15.040 inevitably going to happen is that you're going to have a bunch of confused people because they're

00:52:18.800 just going to be louder and talk about it more often and get the support in the media

00:52:22.880 and everyone's gonna be like well that's not fair it's like stop talking about it not being fair

00:52:25.920 just talk about it right like just talk about like the whole idea of populism is like be the first

00:52:32.480 to the show and talk about it more than the other guy and and then actually do it like like jack just

00:52:38.480 said so so so one one that i would say that i think is under one that i think is under used we

00:52:44.880 talk about this blake and it would drive people crazy but i think it's the the right move which is

00:52:50.400 don't just say we're going to do infrastructure be like very specific and say and just like

00:52:54.400 humiliate california and kamala harris being like you guys have been promising a freaking train 0.99

00:52:59.520 from san diego to san francisco for the last like 20 years and you got to spend billions of dollars

00:53:05.920 and you've not been able to do it we are going to build like high-speed rail and we're going to

00:53:10.480 build this stuff in like two years or less and we're going to figure it out i'm going to cut all the

00:53:13.680 red tape i know you said that it's impossible blake but at least from a promise standpoint national

00:53:18.000 infrastructure gets people really excited because it feels as if their country is developing and

00:53:21.760 growing and prospering not decaying and atrophying and so you do something where it's like this is

00:53:27.920 the american manufacturing revival initiative where we're going to put two million people back to work

00:53:32.800 in public private partnerships and we're going to have china pay for it through tariffs and again elon

00:53:38.080 touched on this a little bit but i think that come up with like 20 crazy ideas of national

00:53:43.440 national infrastructure that people can actually get behind if that makes sense yeah yeah i totally

00:53:50.240 agree it would be good if if there's any remote possible way to do it which i i don't know i'm i'm

00:53:55.760 very black-pilled on the america building anything no but this is like this goes back to the blm but

00:54:01.440 the private sector can i mean the we have the ability to do it elon is able to build he was able to defy

00:54:07.680 gravity literally with spacex and with tesla with his ability to outdo manufacturer projections

00:54:13.760 you're right through government it's very hard but they're yes a fun goal could be maybe first private

00:54:20.160 moon landing by 2030 or something i mean that's one of them right and trump was like along those lines

00:54:26.560 but this goes back to that whole blm conversation which is like well if you take things away from the

00:54:30.720 federal government but then actually do something with it right with the land and again you get creative

00:54:36.320 with this stuff which is not you don't just have to give a plan for homesteading like you could give

00:54:40.160 a plan for nuclear power plants and be like you know what we're gonna do instead of building a wall

00:54:45.680 we're gonna build a wall of nuclear power plants so i'm just joking i'm kidding but like the reality is

00:54:52.320 like a new like why not stick a nuclear power plant in the middle of the desert right like we were done

00:54:57.280 that in arizona and it literally powers like half of mexico or in like all of southern california

00:55:02.800 including all of arizona and we could have the cheapest you know utilities in the world if we

00:55:08.640 wanted to like you just have to just communicate that to people in the right way and be smart about

00:55:14.720 it and utilize what you have in front of you which again is we have all this land we're we're

00:55:19.760 geographically in the best place in the entire world we have all these resources we have all this

00:55:24.560 oil that's just sitting there we have all these woods that are sitting there like america could

00:55:29.040 literally produce so much in lumber and we just sit there and we wait for china to bring over steel

00:55:36.880 and this was like what trump was talking about during his thing was like part of the reason why

00:55:40.080 trump was so popular was he was like you know we're not gonna we're gonna pull these tariffs on things

00:55:44.240 and we're gonna have american steel come back and everyone was like literally losing their mind over

00:55:48.480 they couldn't believe it because nobody no one thought that was possible like in a post reagan era

00:55:53.520 and so like this is where we're at now which is just like we need to stick with that and i feel

00:55:58.160 like we've gotten away from it to be honest i feel like 2020 it became all about personalities

00:56:02.480 which is what the democrats wanted and we're slowly watching this race turn into personalities

00:56:07.280 instead of about this which is like come up with something cool that you're going to do

00:56:11.520 that people actually get in the most simplified terms

00:56:16.720 so uh there's there's some ideas that i developed here so one was called the wild west 2.0

00:56:22.880 i sent this to the campaign which is where you create these special zones that are controlled by blm 0.67

00:56:27.760 where there's like no regulation and you sign disclaimers and you could basically try whatever

00:56:31.760 you want economically if they're like distressed like you go to rural nevada and you get like 100

00:56:36.320 acres and you signed all these um you know all these disclaimers and it's like the wild west 2.0

00:56:42.160 and you could try crazy things aiming to like attract super adventurous entrepreneurs um another idea

00:56:48.720 that i had and that i developed uh was uh the national adventure pass which is for americans you get like

00:56:56.000 three summers in a row you get to go to any national park free and it provides like every

00:57:00.400 citizen with a pass to go to all the national parks historical sites stuff like that um let me see

00:57:05.280 what else i had uh while you're on that charlie i spent some time on this did you know nobody's been

00:57:10.400 in like the crown of the or is the crown or is it the up on the uh uh the torch of the statue of liberty

00:57:18.080 there should be like literally a drawing to reopen that there should just be a drawing that's like

00:57:23.600 certain amount of americans get to go on like the the the torch the statue of liberty and like it's

00:57:28.960 broadcast and it's like a big deal like like you could literally do that as president you could

00:57:33.520 literally do that and like make a big deal about it and it's like nothing but like plus points for

00:57:38.880 like americana ism so anyway sorry go ahead charlie no no i have all these crazy i mean i just come up

00:57:44.960 with crazy ideas all the time um and so yeah no and i i think that we could think more creatively

00:57:51.760 in this way but also play play offense against them i i don't if you would you guys get upset if

00:57:59.520 president trump said hey we're gonna we're gonna have like no interest for first-time home buyers

00:58:05.520 like no interest loans i mean i'm sure you get like really high higher home prices i guess from that

00:58:10.400 like but we're we're in a i guess building more homes is actually the structural solution right

00:58:16.160 oh yeah i mean you build you build more and i mean yeah it's like the boring answer is you make it easy

00:58:25.040 to build more and then like demand will uh will be sated and prices will go down and things that we

00:58:31.600 like massively regulate the prices and provision of tend to eventually have high prices uh you know

00:58:41.680 college and university health care uh child care all of these things are outrageously expensive and

00:58:47.920 the truth is is the more boringly unregulated are they are the cheaper they tend to be so what's the

00:58:53.920 cheapest stuff it's stuff that you it's basically unregulated to make and manufacture and import and

00:58:59.760 whatever it so clothing's crazy cheap food actually even after biden's inflation food overall is much

00:59:06.240 cheaper than it's really like ever been on a big historical scale electronics are like that like

00:59:11.840 electronics if we had the federal government deciding to get involved in deciding you know cell

00:59:17.600 phones or computers are too expensive and we need to tinker with how to incentivize providing them and have

00:59:24.480 price caps on them to make sure they're all affordable then computers would be outrageously

00:59:28.400 expensive a new computer would cost five thousand dollars and there'd be shortages of them all the

00:59:32.560 time but instead the price goes down all the time and you want to apply that same principle to housing

00:59:38.240 and i think the easiest way to do that is you basically whack most of the laws that make it difficult

00:59:45.040 to put up housing and unfortunately one of the reasons this is hard is even among conservatives it's

00:59:50.160 very popular to restrict the construction of new housing uh a lot of this is because i think

00:59:56.160 building new housing is how a lot of people are forced to engage with the fact that america is

01:00:02.640 in decline so no one wants to build new stuff because they want to preserve their own neighborhoods

01:00:08.400 and such in amber because if your neighborhood is changing often the sense is your neighborhood is

01:00:12.960 going downhill it's getting you know they settled a million refugees there or they're like putting up 1.00

01:00:19.840 some horrible new government housing there something like that everything's always going

01:00:25.280 in decline but overall the way you do it the boring way to keep housing prices down is you just build a

01:00:30.560 ton you know what place doesn't have outrageously expensive housing houston why does everyone complain

01:00:35.280 about houston there's basically no zoning restrictions there you can just put up whatever in houston that's

01:00:40.160 the boring way to keep prices down on that sort of thing and kind of the same deal for food the way you

01:00:45.680 actually bring food prices down is you don't have kamala harris come in and pass price controls on 1.00

01:00:50.560 it and it's an incredibly competitive industry so prices will eventually go down this isn't popular

01:00:55.680 though people always want to do something closing thoughts here guys

01:01:04.880 look um i think it's good that we're actually having these discussions president trump has talked about

01:01:10.240 things like freedom cities in the past and look at what we are talking about as opposed to sort of

01:01:15.840 debating like i just go back to the paul ryan mitt romney version of politics where they're like

01:01:21.920 explaining politics as something that you're you know not supposed to understand that you're not

01:01:27.600 supposed to like that we can't have direct benefits for you and that's sort of been put on the shelf now

01:01:32.240 to say okay we understand how economics works but at the same time we also understand that your country has

01:01:39.680 been it feels like it's been telling you down the river that you've been getting screwed over and so

01:01:44.080 what can we do to from the government perspective to actually have direct benefits for the people

01:01:50.320 that that's not just support us but for all country or for all citizens rather everyone in the country

01:01:54.960 so things like law and order by the way things like crime all of this will help by the way and so

01:02:00.560 you know who are the people that are the biggest direct uh victims of crime it's it is going to be the

01:02:05.360 disproportionately the uh lower class and middle class so these are also things that we can do 0.98

01:02:11.280 to cut against the economic populism measures that they're putting in and i just i just love the fact

01:02:16.960 that we're not the neocons anymore my gosh i'm just so happy we're not them

01:02:22.720 we tyler final thoughts we didn't talk about the conspiracy of 2020 but i believe the biggest

01:02:27.920 conspiracy we didn't discuss was how the the olympic games i believe

01:02:33.440 were impacted by covet intentionally because we knew the the trump can you imagine trump as president

01:02:40.800 with with during the olympic games the amount of americanism during the winter

01:02:46.720 yeah but i'm talking about the summer right the summer right before the uh the summer right before

01:02:52.880 the election it was canceled because of covid or they pushed it later to the next year that would

01:02:58.880 have been the most american bleed through that you've ever seen with with a us but all things

01:03:04.080 the real conspiracy is god conspired so now this is my president blake during trump can be president

01:03:10.240 during an american olympics now but i know that's what i'm saying so like this like can you imagine

01:03:17.200 it would have been so good like they would have been impossible to overcome so they had to cancel it

01:03:23.840 so when trump wins and we do have the american olympics and he's going to be overseas he's

01:03:29.120 going to be the president the setting president in the middle of this we just we have to defend

01:03:33.440 and make sure that nothing comes in between trump and the olympics 2028 final thought
