In this episode, the boys talk about the recent events that have gone on around the world, and how we should be dealing with them. They also talk about how to discipline kids who have never been disciplined, and why we should all be put in a timeout.
00:01:04.000I mean, if you look in social media right now, the alligator alcatraz comparisons are just, they are legion comparing them to the Auschwitzes of the world from Nazi Germany and the racks and everything.
00:01:16.000I'm like, the Jews didn't exactly get deported anywhere.
00:01:21.000They were, you know, no matter what the number is, because I know I'd piss a lot of people off by saying this.
00:01:24.000I'm like, yeah, so millions of Jews being killed is the same thing as somebody being deported to their home.
00:01:41.000I mean, it's Spirit Airlines, but it's still a flight.
00:01:44.000They want to be in occupied Germany so badly that they're willing to risk being sent to an air-conditioned unit to await a one-way ticket back to their homeland where they will only be harmed by alligators if they try and escape again to find themselves at large in our country.
00:02:05.000The first time I saw a video two days ago, whatever, from the actual alligator Alcatraz, I was looking at it and they were like, look at this concentration camp.
00:03:20.000I mean, think about this, though, too.
00:03:22.000If we, if talk about the British, we were giving them crap, but sending your prisoners to an island on the other side of the planet is kind of a cool idea.
00:04:28.000Maybe it was Thailand, but it was a village where they have to live on the river.
00:04:31.000And then they live in the river because they need to fish and they need to go down and clean their wash their clothes and they keep getting eaten by crocodiles.
00:06:04.000It will be a great deal of cooperation between our two countries.
00:06:09.000The terms are that Vietnam will pay the United States a 20% tariff on any and all goods sent into our territory and a 40% tariff on any trans shipping.
00:06:19.000In return, Vietnam will do something they have never done before.
00:06:43.000Meaning that we will be able to sell our product into Vietnam at zero tariff.
00:06:49.000It is my opinion that the SUV, or as it is sometimes referred to, large engine vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam.
00:08:22.000So is the trans shipping to make sure that people can't just ship goods there and basically use that as a destination, or not a destination, but a country to get around tariffs?
00:08:29.000So, for example, if we have 50% tariffs on China, are they basically shipping it to Vietnam, having it reshipped to the United States to avoid a tariff?
00:08:42.000That's a big deal for us, probably more so than anything else in that deal, is making sure that countries cannot use them as a quick, easy port to go through to get to the United States without a tariff.
00:11:13.000And if you're, they used to have like, I don't know if they still have block parents, but if you're in a bind and you need someone to help you, if you see a flag, you're going to feel better about going there than someplace that doesn't.
00:11:22.000And that's the left wants you to believe that it's a, you know, that it's a white supremacy symbol.
00:11:27.000The truth is people will feel, if you see flag, you go, okay, probably someone who's patriotic, probably someone who shares my values, right?
00:12:48.000There really is no other way to try and rationalize it when you look at them supporting opposition opponents to us who, by the way, would hate each other.
00:13:25.000The only consistent through line is anytime there's people lining up on opposite sides of the line, the battle line is they err on the side of not America.
00:13:38.000I agree with a lot of that, but I think that a lot of these leftists have an obsession with progressiveness.
00:13:43.000They're obsessed with doing anything progressive.
00:13:45.000And you've talked about it a lot before, but we have this idea that's being taught to our colleges that everything in the world can be broken down to oppressed and oppressor.
00:13:54.000And they always have to side with what they view as the oppressed, the victim, the little guy, the small person, Palestine, anybody who's a migrant coming to this country.
00:14:04.000They fear, they absolutely fear being thought of as racist or culturalists or being conceived as some kind of nationalist or an elitist with religion or anything like that.
00:14:16.000So they absolutely fear the fact that someone's going to go, oh, you don't want an immigrant from Venezuela here?
00:15:17.000And they only look at that dynamic in that current conflict.
00:15:21.000In other words, they don't look at Hamas.
00:15:23.000They don't look at these countries and what they do to their own people as far as oppression.
00:15:26.000They just go, wait, with current conflict, Israel, Hamas.
00:15:28.000Oh, yeah, because there's always a bigger oppressor.
00:15:30.000If there's a bigger oppressor, then you take the side of the little oppressor if they're even a little tiny bit oppressed or at least consistent.
00:15:41.000If they tell you the Democrat Party is the party of the poor, not the middle class, not the working class, but the poor, then they want to keep you poor, right?
00:15:48.000They want to continue to be the class of the poor.
00:15:50.000They need poor to exist to be that representative.
00:15:53.000They're terrified of being seen as successful.
00:15:55.000That's why AOC lies and says she's from the Bronx, where she was from.
00:15:58.000The median income, and I think Benny Johnson actually did go down.
00:16:04.000And the median income in the area of the Bronx where she claims to be from, I think she lived there for like a few months, is like 40 something thousand.
00:16:10.000The median income of Yorkville is $160,000.
00:16:13.000But she doesn't want people to see her successful because think about it.
00:16:30.000Whereas people who are, this is one thing too that I always, to me, tells you who is voting based on some, I should say, foundation or some basis and moral principle.
00:16:42.000Yeah, someone in the United States, the average Trump voter, for example, if you were to take a sampling of rural Americans making between $30,000 and $60,000 a year, they're likely going to be a Trump voter.
00:16:55.000They are not just voting in their own self-interest.
00:16:57.000Sure, they want the economy to be better.
00:16:59.000Sure, they want our immigration policy to be sensible.
00:17:04.000But they're voting for Donald Trump, even though people who run businesses may also get some tax breaks.
00:17:13.000I don't have the right to take that person's stuff.
00:17:16.000Now, they'll have a problem with it when it's ill-gotten gain, like big tech companies who benefit from the oligarchy, right, with the government who picks winners and losers.
00:17:25.000But the average working man in the United States, yeah, as far as he's being promised free ship, but he's not buying it from the Democrat Party.
00:17:32.000They are terrified of being seen as successful.
00:17:34.000That's why they think about this, okay?
00:17:47.000Patriotism requires that you believe this country is great and you believe this country is successful rightfully so and you have the ability to be successful.
00:17:53.000Jimmy Carter would fake carry his own suitcases that were empty and have his detail carry the actual suitcases in the back way.
00:19:37.000I don't know if Bernie has ever actually been called to the mat.
00:19:41.000Hey, when you praise the Castros and when you praised Chavez and when you praised Soviet Russia while it was communist, why were they all wrong?
00:19:52.000And how did you get it wrong every single time?
00:19:55.000Frame it in that way so we can go, well, it was great until it changed.
00:20:02.000I mean, if you had more people pushing back on this too, maybe those regimes would have collapsed sooner and fewer people would have been killed or at least, you know, subject to all the craziness that we had.
00:20:12.000If we oppressed them more, if we oppressed their governments more, then those people would have been less oppressed by their government.
00:20:32.000No, it comes from making decisions based on emotion instead of including logic.
00:20:37.000Now, I understand that there can be problems with a 100% logic argument in that you don't really understand kind of how people are feeling in a situation.
00:20:45.000But we are doing like 99% feeling right now in these decisions by the Democrats.
00:20:49.000They're saying, well, it feels bad to say somebody can't come to this country.
00:20:52.000Yeah, but people can't come to this country just all they want.
00:20:55.000You completely take that out and go, well, how does it feel to the Americans who can't afford a house because there's 20 million people living in this country taking up some housing I can't afford, right?
00:21:05.000So you don't walk through that logic at all.
00:21:08.000And it seems like we need a much healthier dose of logic.
00:21:11.000For example, there was an argument between two very good scholars on the Iran issue.
00:21:16.000And at one point, one guy, he says, you know, Iran's the largest sponsor of state terrorism in the world, the largest nation state that is a sponsor of terrorism.
00:21:23.000And this other guy goes, no, I think the United States is.
00:21:25.000And then this other guy makes the comment that Iran is just acting in their own best self-interest by supporting these terrorist groups to strike at Israel.
00:21:35.000I'm like, couldn't you make the same argument to the United States even on every decision you've disagreed with?
00:21:39.000Isn't it the United States, maybe incorrectly, just acting in their own self-interest and their best interest of the United States?
00:21:45.000Getting it wrong, but it doesn't feel right because we're the oppressor.
00:22:02.000By the way, capitalism does have its flaws.
00:22:03.000And I will say this, of course, that the capitalism that we are, that I'm very supportive of, that's not what we're experiencing today.
00:22:10.000It's not free enterprise capitalism when we live in an era of crony capitalism and too big to fail and privatizing profits and socializing losses.
00:22:18.000I also think there's a real problem when nothing has created more wealth in human history than equities.
00:22:25.000But we also do have a problem when the goods and services exchanged between the company, the business, and the consumer are less important than the shareholders, where they might not have the best interests of the actual consumer at heart.
00:22:40.000When that starts to supersede the actual relationship between a business and a, yeah, we run into a problem and shorting stocks where now it's kind of a, you don't create, you now end up with a system of wealth that doesn't create anything.
00:23:04.000You can't possibly fully comprehend, if we all accept this premise, you can't possibly fully comprehend the lived experience of the person next to you.
00:23:14.000Now, that doesn't mean that they have their truth and you have your truth.
00:23:24.000So you have a system that by design is not one size fits all.
00:23:28.000In other words, for leftism, for socialism, for progressivism, for communism to work, it can only work if everyone is pretty much the same.
00:23:36.000You are applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
00:23:39.000So even though there are flaws in both, you absolutely, if you're looking at it logically, go, okay, we're going to use a starting off point of everyone is different and which system allows people to pursue their own interests more effectively.
00:23:53.000If we know that people are going to pursue their own interests anyway, and we've seen that under communism, see the people at the top, the centralized powers that be, always becoming wealthy and the other people not, let's have a system that acknowledges everyone is different.
00:24:05.000Because if we have a system that separates people's destinies, right, allows them to put that as much as can be done in their own hands, then it mitigates the damage that it would do to everyone else because people will make mistakes.
00:24:19.000We want to have a system where people's individual mistakes don't affect everybody else because that's catastrophic.
00:24:25.000Because if we say everyone's the same and let's centralize this power, we also accept that people make mistakes.
00:24:29.000Ooh, now you have one centralized power and all it takes is one key person to make a mistake.
00:24:36.000See Soviet Russia, see China, see Cuba, see Vietnam.
00:24:41.000See every single example of communism.
00:24:44.000Someone makes a mistake in a free enterprise system, in a constitutional republic, at least that's, think of it as damage control.
00:24:50.000All right, that mistake can be isolated here.
00:24:52.000It doesn't affect everybody because not everyone's in that same boat.
00:24:56.000I want a system that at least starts with, acknowledges the reality of the human condition.
00:25:02.000Everyone is different and everyone will pursue their own interests.
00:25:06.000The only way that you can support progressivism, communism, socialism, Marxism, is if you start with the premise, all people are the same.
00:25:37.000I know some people say small businesses, small, medium-sized businesses.
00:25:40.000I mean, if you work for a company that they could be generating many tens of millions of dollars in gross revenue and just have 20, 30, 40 employees, that's a small business.
00:26:27.000Yeah, no, I think, listen, this came up with the Mamdani comment from President Trump saying that if he got in the way of federal agents that he would arrest him.
00:26:36.000And Kathy Hochl, governor of New York, came out and said he'd have to go through me kind of thing.
00:26:41.000And I'm like, okay, you know, which granted, they got plenty of cuffs.
00:26:54.000So if these people are, especially, not especially, but specifically as it relates to deportations and cleaning out the, which most Americans supported, getting rid of at least violent felons, closing down the problem at the border.
00:27:11.000I think politicians should be held accountable.
00:27:13.000If Elon Omar lied and we can prove it in a court of law and meet whatever evidence standards are necessary, then she should absolutely be removed from this country.
00:30:10.000Pushing for other countries is like, listen, if you've shown a loyalty above the loyalty that you have to the United States, to another country, I think, yeah, absolutely.
00:30:18.000We should be like, yeah, you're not what you used to be.
00:30:20.000We're going to hold a special election.
00:30:21.000You're not a congressperson anymore or whatever it is.
00:30:24.000We have been way too tolerant in a lot of ways.
00:31:17.000So either you have to believe that these people are so beyond so beyond arrest or beyond actually making anything stick, or maybe some people on the Republican side are ineffectual.
00:34:22.000We're seeing some of that play out right now.
00:34:23.000There's a bunch of GOP Congress people in the White House talking with the administration right now.
00:34:30.000And I look, I mean, part of the process is you negotiate with people, but people have drawn a line in the sand and they've said, just raising the debt ceiling is my line and I'm not going to do that.
00:34:38.000And I get that this bill is not perfect in a lot of different ways, but it's the kind of stuff that we're talking about.
00:34:42.000It seems like nothing ever really gets done unless it gets done on the other side.
00:34:46.000They just play a different game than we play.
00:34:48.000And I'm just really tired of that game being played.
00:34:50.000That's why I get pissed off so much at people like Rand Paul and Massey, even though I know they're sticking to what they believe their principles are.
00:34:56.000It's just not matching up with reality.
00:36:09.000With America turning to Trump, Britain turning to reform, and Europe turning, quote, far right, do you see an end to leftist ideology in the coming years?
00:36:19.000Well, no, they're not turning far right.
00:36:23.000You're seeing a rise of people who are right-leaning who would be considered moderates in the United States, but in Europe, that's considered far-right.
00:36:29.000So I wouldn't use that term almost ever.
00:36:33.000You hear me say right-wing, you hear me say conservative, and then separate, for example, if there are actual white supremacists, you know, like the half-dozen that exist.
00:36:40.000I think that's the point they're making, is that like that, it's a good thing, like comparison.
00:36:44.000They call it the far right, but that's really just a lot of people.
00:36:48.000I don't think there's enough in Europe.
00:36:51.000Yeah, they have the problem we talked about yesterday with a third party.
00:36:54.000They have, well, oftentimes more than three parties in some of these European countries where, like you said, you could be voted into power with 25% of the vote just because there's six parties collecting all these votes.
00:37:13.000That's considered far right in Canada.
00:37:15.000And then it goes back because those people, look, outside of the United States, the rest of the world, and unfortunately, because they've been enabled by the United States, see NATO, see all technological advancements of the last hundred years, these people have chosen comfort.
00:37:45.000So I don't think there's a whole lot of hope for Europe.
00:37:48.000And so I think it's more important for us to divest from Europe in a lot of ways in places like Canada so that that cancer doesn't spread to us.
00:37:58.000I think in the United States, you could see, you could see, I don't think an end to the left, but you could see maybe if the Democrats were smart, them have to fundamentally change the party.
00:38:10.000Yeah, if we continue with this momentum and Gen Z, if they want to win anyone back, they are going to have to change the trajectory they are on where, hey, maybe for the first time, what the left has been claiming for a while could actually become true.
00:38:21.000They go, well, the left has gone right and the right has gone far right.
00:38:26.000It's the exact opposite for crying out loud.
00:38:27.000Just compare JFK to Kamala Harris and then compare Donald Trump, for example, to Ronald Reagan.
00:38:34.000Donald Trump, more moderate than Ronald Reagan on a lot of issues, certainly more moderate than Nixon on a lot of issues, and they would be pretty much in line.
00:38:41.000Compare JFK to Kamala Harris or Joe Biden for Crying Out Loud, a guy who was rapidly anti-communist.
00:38:48.000Do you have any idea how JFK would feel about Bernie Sanders?
00:38:53.000I'm not even saying that JFK was a conservative or a Republican.
00:38:56.000He's not, but he shares nothing in common with today's Democrat Party.
00:38:59.000Donald Trump shares a lot in common, even going back to Nixon.
00:39:03.000Ironically enough, I think the next three and a half, four years, this time period could be a nice time for the Democratic Party to, you know, nonchalantly shift more to the right.
00:39:15.000Where like cultural norms are changing, everything's with Mamdani, if he, you know, probably going to win New York if he wins New York with Trump as the president, seeing that contrast like you talked about earlier this week, I think people will go, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:31.000Not so much going, we need to focus less on the other cultural bullshit, like the tranny movement and, you know, all the race war stuff they're trying to start, but more of like, okay, we need to embrace this, embrace that, and appear to be more moderate.
00:39:43.000And I think, you know, maybe run a man in 2028 might help.
00:41:40.000What people are doing is they're seeing the hollowness of so many Protestant churches.
00:41:44.000I'm a Protestant myself, but you've got to be able to call out what you see.
00:41:46.000And a lot of it's the feminist influence in the churches.
00:41:49.000And it's about a feeling and an emotion and not a true relationship with God.
00:41:53.000And they're seeing through that and going, like, this is just hollow.
00:41:56.000Like, you guys go to church and you do all these performative things and then you're not any different during the week than anybody else.
00:42:01.000So, well, who has something different?
00:42:03.000Well, Catholicism sometimes is a draw, but Orthodox right now is seen as kind of like, well, at least that's, I don't understand it as much.
00:42:10.000It's not as comfortable as what I'm used to, but it does seem authentic.
00:42:14.000It seems very real and I'm very attracted to that.
00:42:17.000So just going back really quickly, I don't want to dismiss the far right movements, the true far-right movements that are on the rise in Europe right now in certain places.
00:42:25.000And I think a lot of it is some of the stuff we've talked about.
00:42:27.000The rebound effect on stuff like this, when you call everybody racist, when they aren't, you're creating racists, not just by calling them that, but people are like, fine, screw it.
00:42:37.000At this point, you're going to call me a racist anyway.
00:42:40.000Maybe because you let Black Lives Matter stuff go on in the summer of love and all that, maybe I am a little racist now is what a lot of people say.
00:42:46.000Same thing with uncontrolled immigration in Europe.
00:42:48.000They're seeing it and going, you know what?
00:43:19.000And most people in Chile still like Pinochet.
00:43:21.000Like, I wish I could go back to Pinochet because at least we had economic growth in this country.
00:43:24.000So they don't have what we have here as far as a system of checks and balances.
00:43:28.000So their only option is to seize power, which makes something more, you know, makes them more far right because they don't have the levers to pull that we do here.
00:43:37.000And we never want to get to that point here in the United States, which is why it's so important at this moment in history that Democrats are not in power because they wanted to remove your ability.
00:43:44.000They wanted to complete, let's be really clear about this.
00:43:46.000The last 12 years, Democrats, they had a plan and they were almost there.
00:43:52.000They missed it by that much to basically render this place no longer a Democratic republic at all.
00:44:02.000It was bring in as many people from third world countries as possible, give them as much free stuff as possible to buy their vote, give them a direct path to citizenship, count them in the census, have no voter ID.
00:44:16.000All of that, if you live in Arizona, if you live in Pennsylvania, if you live in Michigan, Wisconsin, pick the swing states, your vote doesn't matter anymore.
00:44:26.000They've now effectively rendered it just a one-party country because they purchased votes.
00:44:57.000And the big reason for that, especially in a post-COVID world, was the demographics.
00:45:03.000And I don't mean brown, black, or white.
00:45:04.000I mean immigration and 20 million or so people coming here.
00:45:08.000And we knew it was only going to, and if Donald Trump didn't win, you know that number would be 30 or 40 million at least by the end of this term.
00:45:17.000And the United States very realistically could have ceased to be.
00:45:21.000And everyone has been saying for a long time, we're teetering on the edge here, man.
00:45:24.000Once these demographics shift, once you have people coming from countries where they don't value freedom, where they don't value democracy, where they have no semblance of Western values.
00:45:33.000Once they outnumber the people who are here who do, you lose your country.
00:45:38.000Remember hearing all empires crumble from within?
00:45:41.000People saying we're at that same point like the Roman Empire, making those comparisons.
00:45:45.000And then when that pivotal issue, and I do mean a pivotal issue, so we would have gone from whatever it is, the numbers, 15, 20 million, depending on the numbers you use, to 30 or 40 million, right?
00:46:04.000It's what gives this nation now a fighting fucking chance.
00:46:08.000And so when people say, before Donald Trump even carried out any military action on Iran, about which he's been remarkably consistent, I'm not going to go through all of that again, but saying, impeach the man.
00:46:23.000I don't know how you go from this is the most important election of our lifetime.
00:46:27.000And the demographic shifts, people coming in from third world countries and votes being purchased and no voter ID and what will be codified into law.
00:47:14.000Most important election of our lifetime on those foundational issues.
00:47:17.000And then you say, yeah, it was the most important election, but impeach him because he took out a strike that we he carried out a strike that we knew he would with no casualties against a nation who deserved it.
00:47:29.000I will never forget, ever, ever forget the people who said impeach Donald Trump after telling you that this was the most important election of our lifetime.
00:47:38.000And that's not hero worship, to be clear.
00:47:41.000I have things that I, I had things that I didn't like about him and I have things that I still don't like about him, to be clear, okay?
00:47:47.000But when I said, and I think most people in here, if not everyone, said this is the most important election of our lifetime, and we spent millions of dollars to cover it so the fraud wouldn't occur in darkness again, and we cheer on the monumental changes to our immigration system here, which is flawed, porous by design, a planned and designed and executed invasion of the American people.
00:48:14.000When I said this is the most important election of our lifetime, guess what?
00:48:18.000And so when I'm excited to see that corrected, and I think that's important, I mean it.
00:48:26.000I don't know how someone can mean it, see where we are, and then say, impeach him.
00:48:31.000Unless those people who say, I regret voting for Donald Trump, I regret telling people to vote for Donald Trump, impeach Donald Trump, unless they come out and say, it's got away from me.
00:48:45.000I got a little carried away and I lost sight of the bigger picture.
00:48:49.000I will never forget that shit because this was a country hurtling, hurtling to the edge of that cliff.
00:49:43.000For this to be the most consequential election, for this to be the most consequential administration in our lifetime, it would require the most consequential betrayal of our lifetime for me to say, we're better off with the direction we were headed.
00:50:03.000We're better off on the path that we were on.
00:50:36.000Talking with people Monday and the following Monday where, yep, you hear little old me tell people with a slightly darker shade of skin that we don't want you, but you'll understand why when you see it.
