00:01:24.000 It turns out it find out I'm allergic to the the fish.
00:01:27.000 Oh, really?
00:01:28.000 Yeah.
00:01:28.000 Is it what is it?
00:01:29.000 Salmon?
00:01:30.000 Just salmon.
00:01:31.000 Is it a specific kind of salmon?
00:01:32.000 Oh, hey.
00:01:33.000 Yeah.
00:01:33.000 Oh.
00:01:33.000 No, because I kept getting I I eat, I was eating like sushi once a week because there's a special.
00:01:37.000 And I was like, it's good for my heart, right?
00:01:38.000 Uh just eat just plain salmon sushi.
00:01:40.000 And I kept getting a rash, and I noticed it was every Monday, so then I did the I was like, let me try it without soy sauce.
00:01:45.000 Turns out, by the way, I don't really like sushi.
00:01:47.000 I like soy sauce with sushi around it.
00:01:51.000 You like salt.
00:01:52.000 Yeah.
00:01:52.000 So I uh I just uh I just had the salmon sushi, which is just salmon and rice, and I got that that rash that those hives.
00:01:59.000 I wonder if it's all salmon or if it's just like uh maybe like Atlantic salmon or something.
00:02:02.000 I wonder if river salmon is still fine for you.
00:02:05.000 There's a specific protein in salmon.
00:02:06.000 It's like a very heat stable protein that I guess is exclusive to it, so it's not uncommon for people to be allergic to only salmon and not other fish.
00:02:13.000 Weird.
00:02:14.000 So now I know.
00:02:15.000 Anyway, anyone else.
00:02:20.000 My opinion, it's the best, the tastiest fish.
00:02:22.000 Uh yeah, yeah.
00:02:23.000 It's I like uh you ever like sea bass is really good, sea bass is really good.
00:02:27.000 Yeah, Chilean.
00:02:28.000 I've only had the Chilean sea bass.
00:02:30.000 I don't know if there's other ones out there if they're all just Chilean sea bass.
00:02:32.000 I don't know either.
00:02:33.000 Do you think do you think there are other like there's other sea like Argentinian seasons?
00:02:36.000 I've never heard of Brazilian sea bass.
00:02:38.000 I hope there are, and I hope they're racist to each other.
00:02:40.000 Me too.
00:02:41.000 You know what I bet? 1.00
00:02:42.000 I bet the Brazilian sea bass has a nice Brazilian sea ass. 0.99
00:02:46.000 Yes, I bet you doesn't I don't think that's true at all. 0.99
00:02:51.000 In fact.
00:02:51.000 No guar.
00:02:53.000 No guar.
00:02:54.000 Well, have you been to underwater carnival?
00:02:56.000 I haven't.
00:02:57.000 Oh, it's very colorful.
00:02:59.000 Yeah. 0.77
00:02:59.000 That crab is very horny. 0.77
00:03:01.000 Yeah, dude.
00:03:02.000 He's got...
00:03:03.000 Under the sea, all but for me.
00:03:06.000 All right. 0.99
00:03:07.000 He's a racist little legend. 0.99
00:03:09.000 You got to watch those claws, man. 0.99
00:03:10.000 Crabs freak me out. 0.99
00:03:12.000 Crabs are quite scary.
00:03:13.000 All right, let's continue on this.
00:03:15.000 Well, look, look.
00:03:16.000 The whole thing is, it's not just about drugs.
00:03:17.000 This whole thing is about destabilizing the entire Western Hemisphere.
00:03:21.000 No, you're right.
00:03:21.000 They're like shelled spiders.
00:03:22.000 Yes, they are.
00:03:24.000 I'm sorry.
00:03:24.000 You got me thinking.
00:03:25.000 I'm freaked out by them, too.
00:03:26.000 Yeah.
00:03:26.000 Sorry, I just derailed you there.
00:03:27.000 You ever seen the spider crabs?
00:03:28.000 Is it the Japanese spider crab?
00:03:30.000 Like they have super like they can be their legs can be as long as yours.
00:03:33.000 Oh, dude.
00:03:34.000 I gotta show you a video by the way.
00:03:34.000 Oh my god.
00:03:35.000 I got a spider in my kitchen this morning.
00:03:36.000 I thought you were gonna say you're gonna send me a video of your crabs.
00:03:38.000 I was like, Oh no, I got a picture of that though.
00:03:42.000 Yeah.
00:03:43.000 What kind do you know what kind of spider it was?
00:03:43.000 What size?
00:03:45.000 Orange.
00:03:46.000 Which I don't like.
00:03:48.000 Whoa! 0.71
00:03:49.000 I don't know.
00:03:50.000 It was orange though.
00:03:50.000 Yep.
00:03:51.000 I don't like that one bit.
00:03:52.000 What?
00:03:53.000 There you go.
00:03:54.000 That's a big boy.
00:03:56.000 Oh my god.
00:03:57.000 A king crab?
00:03:57.000 What is that?
00:03:58.000 Is it Japanese snow crab or is it a Japanese spider crab?
00:03:58.000 Yeah.
00:04:01.000 What what is it?
00:04:02.000 That's not a king crab.
00:04:03.000 From Reddit as of right now.
00:04:05.000 Oh, it's a from Reddit.
00:04:06.000 That might be real.
00:04:06.000 Oh, come on.
00:04:07.000 Snow crab do have the big legs though. 0.97
00:04:09.000 Yeah, but not like that.
00:04:10.000 I should have said king.
00:04:11.000 I know I know what a king crab looks like.
00:04:12.000 Last king king.
00:04:13.000 I've seen it all the time in the stores and Washington, but what is it?
00:04:16.000 Japanese spider crab spider crab.
00:04:16.000 Japanese spider crab.
00:04:18.000 And that's obviously like a proximity effect, so it looks bigger, but you can still find plenty of other pictures where it look really big.
00:04:23.000 It's the size of a human being, Steve, and it doesn't look bigger.
00:04:26.000 It is bigger.
00:04:26.000 You have other pictures, noodles?
00:04:28.000 I wonder if that thing's fast.
00:04:28.000 No.
00:04:29.000 So I was gonna say my father was a scuba diving master.
00:04:33.000 I thought you're gonna say your father was a spider crab.
00:04:35.000 So I used to scuba dive with them.
00:04:36.000 The scariest incident I ever had underwater was I put my finger in silt in Jonestown, Rhode Island.
00:04:42.000 It was just all silt.
00:04:43.000 I put my finger down and a big ass king crab came climbing out and they did that that like dance offensive pose, the scariest thing that ever happened to me. 0.98
00:04:52.000 That's like the Hawaiian dance that they're gonna be.
00:04:55.000 Why would you stick your finger in a strange hole in the ocean?
00:04:58.000 It wasn't a hole.
00:04:59.000 It was the bottom of the thing.
00:05:01.000 It was just I don't blame you.
00:05:04.000 I don't blame you.
00:05:04.000 Put your fingers.
00:05:05.000 I do.
00:05:06.000 Hey, that's fine.
00:05:06.000 Keep your figures to yourself.
00:05:08.000 No, put your fingers where there's holes.
00:05:10.000 I had uh I want to say it was like this fish that seemed kind of aggressive, and I found out that uh trigger fish can be very aggressive.
00:05:16.000 And uh they have like the way you get away from it.
00:05:18.000 Have you seen these trigger fish?
00:05:19.000 The Titans.
00:05:20.000 The Titan trigger fish.
00:05:21.000 Someone bring up a video.
00:05:22.000 I'm sure they exist.
00:05:23.000 They will they will bite a chunk out of you, and uh they have like a reverse cone.
00:05:27.000 So someone told me, yeah, yeah, the way you get away from them is you just have to swim past it.
00:05:31.000 But uh the high I don't know if it's a cone or a reverse cone, but the higher up you go, their territory, it's like actually shaped in a cone.
00:05:38.000 So go up and go out because they have a narrower kind of piece of their territory, depending at the depth and they will attack you.
00:05:47.000 So they're gonna chase you right up to the edge and be like, all right, he's he's gonna just keep swimming, try and swim up and out.
00:05:47.000 They're gonna remember.
00:05:54.000 I don't know.
00:05:54.000 Trigger fish.
00:05:55.000 And they by the way, they look like they have teeth, but it's not like sharp fish teeth.
00:05:59.000 It looks like like dentures.
00:05:59.000 Right.
00:06:01.000 Like people teeth?
00:06:02.000 Yeah.
00:06:02.000 Oh, that's weird.
00:06:03.000 Like donkey teeth.
00:06:04.000 Like uh uh shoot, what's that movie's the the shark tail?
00:06:08.000 The shark tech characters.
00:06:09.000 Yeah, they were freaky, dude.
00:06:10.000 They had human teeth.
00:06:11.000 Or just don't go in places where you know we're easy prey.
00:06:15.000 Right.
00:06:16.000 I just don't have any desire to scuba dive.
00:06:17.000 They go scuba diving.
00:06:18.000 Ever.
00:06:19.000 It's fun.
00:06:19.000 Ever.
00:06:20.000 Yeah, it seems like it.
00:06:21.000 Yeah, there you go.
00:06:22.000 Yeah, with that.
00:06:23.000 Yeah.
00:06:25.000 Like rounded.
00:06:26.000 That looks like AI or something.
00:06:26.000 Is that real?
00:06:28.000 Pretty real.
00:06:29.000 Shutterstock.
00:06:29.000 All right.
00:06:30.000 For what it's worth.
00:06:31.000 That fish needs to flaw.
00:06:32.000 So that's pretty young.
00:06:34.000 Yeah.
00:06:35.000 Um anyway, back to uh Venezuela.
00:06:37.000 Uh you know, they're they're talking right now or they're eyeing in invading uh Ghana, Guyana.
00:06:42.000 I always forget because there's Ghana and there's Ghana, uh, and uh there are other uh Caribbean nations who are very, very much concerned and support strong American action.
00:06:52.000 And just to be clear, like a concern here, and and I would tell you with a pretty high degree of confidence, is that um Russia and China can be at play.
00:07:02.000 Because anytime there's some kind of a a communist adversary, they prop them up, even according to Kremlin-backed media as it deals with Venezuela.
00:07:02.000 Why?
00:07:10.000 And I'm saying this so that you can see what the side is saying that supports Venezuela, and they're not even saying like these aren't drug boats, really.
00:07:18.000 It's kind of still acknowledged.
00:07:20.000 This comes from um some form of Kremlin backed media, the source there that says if the US manages to establish firm control over Venezuela, America, Russia's adversary, grows stronger while China, Russia's ally, grows weaker.
00:07:31.000 That shift in the global balance of power would be bad for Moscow, especially since after dealing with China, the US would likely try to drive oil prices down in order to slash Russian budget revenues and push Russian markets out of global markets.
00:07:44.000 And here's the thing like Russia, China.
00:07:47.000 Um, they pretty much just back any commies who hate America and could possibly be a threat to America or destabilize allies of America.
00:07:55.000 I I always find it funny.
00:07:57.000 I use Cuba as an example because Russia, China, obviously they've been supporters of Cuba.
00:08:01.000 When people blame the United States for the poverty in Cuba, they go, well, if if uh the United States you didn't have uh didn't have their embargo.
00:08:08.000 Well we just don't allow American com us to trade with Cuba.
00:08:13.000 Like, why are we to blame?
00:08:15.000 Aren't the two biggest other potential trading partners on earth, Russia and China, are aren't they on board with Cuba? 0.96
00:08:22.000 Why isn't it incumbent upon them to make sure that Cuba doesn't suck? 1.00
00:08:25.000 Oh, that's right. 1.00
00:08:26.000 They have allied with them, and Cuba still sucks. 0.98
00:08:29.000 Cuba should be North America's playground. 0.98
00:08:34.000 It should be the entire island should be like Vegas.
00:08:37.000 Everyone should want to go.
00:08:39.000 Beautiful beaches, hotels.
00:08:40.000 It is a res it is a resort developer's dream.
00:08:44.000 None of those exist in Russia, in China.
00:08:47.000 There are no oligarchs there.
00:08:49.000 Communism fails at every single chance at bat.
00:08:53.000 Yeah.
00:08:54.000 But that's not the right communism.
00:08:55.000 I'm sorry.
00:08:55.000 Just like Venezuela.
00:08:56.000 That's not the right even though that's right, Sean Penn and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth, they all praise Chavez and Sean Penn, by the way, I believe has met with Maduro himself.
00:09:04.000 But no, that's not the now we'll say that's just not the right communism.
00:09:07.000 It's just the communism that I supported up until it failed.
00:09:10.000 Just like Castro in Cuba, it was the communism that we all supported up until the moment that it failed.
00:09:15.000 Just like China, it was the communism that we all supported up until it failed.
00:09:18.000 Just like Russia, it's where Bernie Sanders' honeymooned and the communism they supported right up until it failed.
00:09:23.000 Oh, okay.
00:09:24.000 I'm sure you guys will get right on a successful example of it.
00:09:27.000 Yeah.
00:09:27.000 And one of the really important things here, too, it's it's a more than just a power play with those guys.
00:09:32.000 That's part of it.
00:09:32.000 But the other part is the resources in Ghana.
00:09:34.000 Like they have, I think something like 11 billion barrels of oil that were discovered by Exxon.
00:09:40.000 Nice.
00:09:40.000 So yeah, it's it's it's one of those things where it's like, yeah, everybody wants to get down there because uh these guys have a lot of oil.
00:09:45.000 That's fantastic.
00:09:46.000 It also undercuts the Middle East, it undercuts Russia. 0.93
00:09:48.000 It does a lot to kind of push back on our enemies.
00:09:51.000 But another thing.
00:09:52.000 Remember what he said those boats were going to do?
00:09:54.000 A couple of overlays uh previous here on uh on uh the the people that were fully supporting the U.S. action, if you can pull that back up.
00:10:01.000 Because look at the first sign in a move that is clearly stunned her nation.
00:10:05.000 Trinidad's government has thrown its full and unequivocal support behind the U.S. military.
00:10:10.000 Didn't he say, well, they're just probably going to Trinidad.
00:10:12.000 It's right off the coast.
00:10:13.000 Okay, fine.
00:10:14.000 Trinidad loves this.
00:10:15.000 They don't want the boats.
00:10:17.000 Yeah.
00:10:17.000 Okay.
00:10:18.000 Do you understand John Stewart?
00:10:19.000 It takes like five seconds to look at Rand Paul.
00:10:22.000 No, no, no.
00:10:22.000 I'm saying John Stewart's point was just that they were going to that was Rand Paul.
00:10:26.000 Sorry, Rand Paul.
00:10:27.000 I did I did conflict uh conflate the two.
00:10:28.000 They're both wieners.
00:10:29.000 Rand Paul said they're going to be able to do that.
00:10:32.000 Sorry, you're right.
00:10:33.000 I was like, no, no, no, what's your time for you?
00:10:34.000 By the way, I think that's worse than confusing January and February.
00:10:37.000 I think that's worse than being three weeks off.
00:10:38.000 He named an entirely different human.
00:10:40.000 I think it's 10 days off, actually, when the EO was signed on January 20th, not the EOS.
00:10:45.000 20th.
00:10:45.000 Sorry.
00:10:46.000 So they they corrected me.
00:10:47.000 I missed it by that much, but you were just you were just a hair away from the right human being.
00:10:53.000 It could have been one day.
00:10:54.000 They weren't in office.
00:10:55.000 They couldn't do anything on the tent.
00:10:56.000 But it's a good point.
00:10:57.000 Like Rand Paul, it's in our interest, okay?
00:10:59.000 And Trinidad.
00:11:01.000 By the way, I never say Trinidad without Trinidad and Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago.
00:11:04.000 It's just they always go together.
00:11:05.000 It's like peanut butter and jelly.
00:11:06.000 Yeah, but I don't care about that.
00:11:07.000 But the point is Trinidad and or Tobago don't have the military capabilities to deal with a narco-terrorist state. 0.83
00:11:12.000 So it's in our interests.
00:11:13.000 And then this government, who also has firsthand knowledge, like, hey, great, please do it because we can't.
00:11:19.000 The only person who says, no, actually, they don't know what they're talking about, is me.
00:11:24.000 Rand Paul.
00:11:25.000 They may say that, but not me.
00:11:27.000 I was being spit roasted by Yasser Arafat and Qaddafi.
00:11:34.000 I asked him about the Nebu convention.
00:11:36.000 It's like Do you care about winning ever?
00:11:41.000 Yeah.
00:11:41.000 The false equivalencies that he gave.
00:11:44.000 There's people in Miami off the coast.
00:11:46.000 Yeah.
00:11:46.000 So yeah, people hanging out on boats coming around.
00:11:49.000 Yeah, maybe they have drugs, maybe they don't.
00:11:50.000 These guys, do you think the United States military is like, ooh, a boat?
00:11:54.000 Let's blow it up.
00:11:55.000 I don't think so.
00:11:55.000 I understand maybe you don't trust them.
00:11:57.000 Fine.
00:11:57.000 Well, yeah, actually tracking these guys into the water, okay, and then go.
00:12:01.000 Well, Josh has talked about that before.
00:12:03.000 They are like that.
00:12:04.000 They're like, oh, look, a boat blow it up.
00:12:05.000 And then their boss is like, geez Christ.
00:12:09.000 You just got out of boot camp.
00:12:11.000 Okay, you gotta chill out.
00:12:12.000 We gotta get confirmation.
00:12:13.000 And then they do that.
00:12:14.000 Right.
00:12:14.000 Well, you're right.
00:12:14.000 He's making false equivalencies talking about how this kind of stuff never happens in the States.
00:12:18.000 Oh, you can't just go and kill somebody in the United States.
00:12:20.000 Uh that never never happened.
00:12:23.000 Okay, well, did anybody get held accountable for Ruby Ridge?
00:12:25.000 Right.
00:12:26.000 Was anybody held accountable for Waco?
00:12:27.000 There's I can go on and on and on with the stuff that government agencies or the military have done in the United States that got away with completely.
00:12:36.000 Scot-free. 1.00
00:12:36.000 We don't talk about it anymore, but it's a shame that a couple of fucking drug dealers. 1.00
00:12:41.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:12:42.000 Now it sounds like Mr. And human, and by the way, same people, human traffickers.
00:12:44.000 That's another thing where, you know, uh especially I used to be on Red Eye a lot and they were all libertarians and they would maybe be like, hey, read this book.
00:12:49.000 It was about how the war on drugs is like the biggest failure of the United States.
00:12:52.000 Okay, fine.
00:12:53.000 Look, it's another failure of government bureaucracy.
00:12:56.000 But then they go to, and if we just ended it, then there would be no drug cartels.
00:13:00.000 Okay, now they're trafficking humans.
00:13:02.000 Well, uh sex work is real work. 0.99
00:13:03.000 Okay, now they're trafficking underage humans.
00:13:06.000 These are not just drug cartels.
00:13:09.000 They are criminal enterprises that will never make money through legal means.
00:13:14.000 They've decided that.
00:13:15.000 It's easier.
00:13:16.000 Their preference is to work under the table and do this scot-free.
00:13:21.000 Their pref uh their preference is to be rebels.
00:13:24.000 Their preference is to be um lawless rogues.
00:13:29.000 So what do we Do we just say, all right, legalize all drugs, legalize all prostitution, and uh lower the age of prostitution.
00:13:36.000 Uh legalize.
00:13:38.000 Well, here we should already.
00:13:39.000 What weakens them is legalizing firearms, you know, making it uh constitutional carry, right?
00:13:44.000 Enshrining that, but they'll just find a way to traffic something else.
00:13:47.000 They move on to something else.
00:13:48.000 Just eliminate the police.
00:13:50.000 Yeah.
00:13:50.000 What do we need police for?
00:13:51.000 I mean, these laws are getting in the way of all the stuff I want to do.
00:13:55.000 Also, by the way, even if let's say you legalize everything.
00:13:58.000 Okay, everything.
00:13:59.000 All drugs, prostitution, underage prostitution, all of it.
00:14:04.000 They're still going to traffic them illegally if they can do it cheaper, as seen by the increased power of marijuana distributors in California in states where it's legal, the cartels have grown more because they can sell it cheaper under the table.
00:14:20.000 It didn't put them out of business.
00:14:21.000 You guys know that, right?
00:14:22.000 And now we have the problem of I know some of you say, it can't, this can't be a thing.
00:14:27.000 Yeah, fentanyl-laced weed, which makes no sense.
00:14:30.000 You would think because weed is the cheapest drug.
00:14:32.000 Well, fentanyl's pretty damn cheap.
00:14:34.000 And it has the added benefit of being addictive.
00:14:38.000 So there's no way to put criminal enterprises completely out of business.
00:14:42.000 We live in the real world.
00:14:43.000 So we have to decide where that is.
00:14:45.000 Do we want that line to before or after black tar heroin?
00:14:50.000 Before or after prostitution, before or after underage prostitution.
00:14:54.000 And then it comes down to okay, how do you enforce it?
00:14:57.000 You need to have the means to enforce it, and people need to fear you enforcing your own laws.
00:15:03.000 That's the problem with libertarianism.
00:15:05.000 I understand it that you should err on the side of, and I do err on the side of individual freedom and rights, unless it negatively affects somebody else.
00:15:14.000 That's where your rights stop, right?
00:15:16.000 My uh your your the rights of your fists stop when it meets my face, I think is the old saying.
00:15:21.000 Something like that.
00:15:22.000 Your nose.
00:15:22.000 All right, my nose.
00:15:23.000 A face.
00:15:24.000 Who can you gonna you're gonna admonish me for that too?
00:15:26.000 No, I didn't admonish anybody.
00:15:27.000 You just asked, and I was trying to help.
00:15:30.000 Now you're now you're correcting me because this versus this closed fist.
00:15:30.000 Ten days.
00:15:34.000 Not a mundane detail. 0.96
00:15:35.000 Do you have any idea how hard I could hit you with a palm strike?
00:15:37.000 The principle remains.
00:15:38.000 None whatsoever damage done.
00:15:40.000 I've seen Indian fights on it.
00:15:40.000 Not that hard.
00:15:42.000 Oh, you ever see you ever see Boss?
00:15:45.000 You ever see Boss Rutin?
00:15:46.000 He was in uh pancreas in Japan where they didn't allow closed fist strikes.
00:15:49.000 So he just developed palm strikes.
00:15:50.000 He ruptured a guy's liver with a palm strike.
00:15:53.000 He didn't slap, he was throwing them like punches.
00:15:56.000 So not the same thing.
00:15:58.000 But you're probably right.
00:15:59.000 I probably wouldn't pick the piss with a palm strike.
00:16:01.000 Thank you.
00:16:02.000 So that's where it's like, okay, libertarianism doesn't work.
00:16:06.000 Yeah.
00:16:06.000 That's where we are.
00:16:07.000 And Rand Paul.
00:16:08.000 I I have always said I'm not gonna run I but now I'm getting closer, close and closer to when I retire running for office, just because I want to do the opposite of the grandstanding.
00:16:17.000 If I were to ever it would be like mayor or governor, and I would just be like, look, I'm gonna do pretty much nothing.
00:16:24.000 That's my plan.
00:16:25.000 You guys good with that?
00:16:26.000 Like my set point is no to anything new, and probably eliminating stuff that already exists, unless someone makes a really, really strong case.
00:16:36.000 And uh you're not gonna hear from me a whole lot uh on social media, because if I'm already in office, then it's my job um to do largely nothing.
00:16:45.000 And my opponent's gonna tell you that he's gonna do something or a lot of things.
00:16:50.000 He's probably not.
00:16:51.000 Neither am I, but at least I'll tell you that I'm going to do very little.
00:16:57.000 That would be my whole campaign.
00:16:59.000 Vote Steven Crowder.
00:17:01.000 He does nothing.
00:17:03.000 For you.
00:17:04.000 But I also don't do anything for myself.
00:17:06.000 For you underneath it.
00:17:08.000 For you.
00:17:10.000 Like, are you gonna fight for us?
00:17:12.000 I don't know.
00:17:12.000 Maybe.
00:17:13.000 I mean, it depends on if they if they throw the first punch.
00:17:16.000 Yeah.
00:17:17.000 I was like, look, I'll enforce it.
00:17:18.000 Like, of course, we're not gonna allow riots. 0.98
00:17:20.000 I'm gonna uh kick out all the illegal aliens. 1.00
00:17:20.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:17:23.000 Uh I'm gonna try and lower some taxes.
00:17:25.000 Like, oh, there's this new product or energy technology. 0.99
00:17:27.000 Like, I don't give a shit. 0.99
00:17:28.000 You guys want to go ahead, you do it. 0.99
00:17:30.000 It's like, oh, we need your help.
00:17:31.000 Ah, now we're back to me doing nothing.
00:17:34.000 I need to show you my campaign poster.
00:17:36.000 Like I wouldn't even finish what the the proposal in front of me, like, and something about installing solar pick done.
00:17:36.000 Yeah.
00:17:45.000 Let me go to the new ballroom I just installed.
00:17:50.000 Can you get back to rule one?
00:17:51.000 I do nothing.
00:17:52.000 Dave Weigel, he's looking more and more like the cop you're supposed to hate in the movies.
00:17:56.000 Like that's the thing.
00:17:57.000 That's Dave Weigel is a lady. 0.99
00:17:59.000 No, Dave Weigel right next to her.
00:18:01.000 Uh let's see if they show him again.
00:18:02.000 He looks like the guy like, well, you're Harry Callahan, you have to do this by the book.
00:18:06.000 Yeah.
00:18:07.000 Look at him.
00:18:08.000 He's that midwestern guy for sure.
00:18:10.000 Yeah.
00:18:11.000 Midwestern cop.
00:18:12.000 Like people can be chubby. 0.94
00:18:13.000 He looks like he lives in fat.
00:18:15.000 Yes.
00:18:15.000 Dave Weigel.
00:18:19.000 I'm very aware of how rotund I am.
00:18:21.000 I'm childish.
00:18:22.000 All right.
00:18:23.000 No, it makes sense.
00:18:24.000 You were going to say uh what was something with uh is it Amazon?
00:18:26.000 Well, so look there, there's the headlines on this, and I think we can pull up the headlines.
00:18:30.000 There, they're not really accurate.
00:18:32.000 So what people are saying is that Amazon is going to get essentially get rid of half a million jobs, right?
00:18:37.000 So the New York Times, Amazon plans to replace more than half a million jobs with robots, and then you've got Fox Business Amazon plans to avoid hiring 600,000 workers through AI automation strategy to double sales by 2033.
00:18:48.000 So that that second headline is the accurate headline.
00:18:51.000 The first headline is hey, make sure you click here.
00:18:53.000 Amazon's not looking at their workforce of around one and a half million people right now and saying we're gonna cut that down to a million and we're gonna use AI to replace it.
00:19:01.000 What they're saying is they project future hiring, and they think in the future we won't have to hire as many as five hundred thousand additional people because of AI automation.
00:19:11.000 Yes, I just had an eye bugger that you didn't tell me about.
00:19:13.000 I couldn't see it.
00:19:14.000 While you were talking, I was like, oh, has this been here this whole time?
00:19:16.000 I don't know.
00:19:17.000 Was it yesterday that it happened or today?
00:19:18.000 It's fine if it's yesterday.
00:19:20.000 So clarify that was the headline is wrong.
00:19:22.000 Why?
00:19:23.000 You just you bored me halfway through.
00:19:24.000 I did.
00:19:24.000 You're right.
00:19:25.000 So they they're basically just it's clickbait.
00:19:27.000 Okay.
00:19:28.000 A little bit of clickbait.
00:19:28.000 They're not firing anybody.
00:19:30.000 So but then you uh sort of juxtaposed that with I don't know if you guys pulled the Walmart story.
00:19:35.000 Yeah, the H1B.
00:19:36.000 The H1Bs that they're going to be. 1.00
00:19:38.000 They're gonna be eliminating uh the jobs that have been you I believe it's using H1Bs, and they said it was mostly in their corporate office, but can you guys bring it up?
00:19:46.000 It's uh loading.
00:19:46.000 Yep.
00:19:48.000 So these are jobs that didn't even need to be done in the first place?
00:19:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:19:50.000 He's still loading?
00:19:51.000 Guay! 0.99
00:19:53.000 Uh they halt job offers for applicants who need H1B visas after Trump raises fees to 100,000.
00:19:59.000 There you go.
00:20:00.000 Oh it's almost like they didn't need him in the first place.
00:20:03.000 It's almost like these aren't the highly skilled jobs that require a specialist from another country.
00:20:08.000 They just did a cost benefit analysis and said, Yeah, it's not worth it.
00:20:12.000 So if my choice is automation, and I know that you're saying it's clickbait, but if my choice is automation or H1Bs, I choose automation because at least it doesn't smell.
00:20:24.000 And it'll speak the language I tell it to.
00:20:26.000 Yeah.
00:20:26.000 Don't say that in a group chat.
00:20:27.000 Yeah.
00:20:28.000 Like we're already living in the era of automation.
00:20:30.000 It's just, you know, these are just indentured servants, just to be clear.
00:20:33.000 That's really what it is.
00:20:34.000 People who come from countries where you have some staffing agency, some placement agency that takes it off the top and a degree mill. 0.99
00:20:40.000 This is a huge, huge scam, along with DEI.
00:20:44.000 And uh now you're seeing it's just okay, hundred thousand dollar fee.
00:20:48.000 That would have zero relevance if you were hiring the best engineer uh or the best coder for half a million dollars a year or a couple million dollars a year.
00:20:58.000 It would just be the cost of doing business worth every penny.
00:20:58.000 Yeah.
00:21:01.000 That's not what's happening.
00:21:02.000 Why does Walmart need H1Bs in their corporate office? 1.00
00:21:05.000 Interesting question.
00:21:06.000 Yeah.
00:21:07.000 Anybody should be able to do that job.
00:21:08.000 I mean, I I understand Walmart is at the top of the the world game, probably with Amazon and others in logistics.
00:21:14.000 I understand that there's a lot that they do, but it's like you're telling me there's Americans that can't do those jobs.
00:21:18.000 Yeah, the problem is we were told for the longest, who's gonna pick your lettuce?
00:21:21.000 Well, it turns out who's gonna work in your meat packing plants.
00:21:23.000 Well, as we saw, I believe it was in uh was it Omaha, Nebraska, plenty of Americans lined up.
00:21:28.000 Then they were saying, well, yeah, but who's gonna do the really, really high we don't sh we just don't have enough.
00:21:31.000 We don't have enough really skilled engineers, coders, people in tech.
00:21:34.000 Okay, then it became and by the way, we don't have enough Americans to fill these stable upper middle income class jobs. 0.98
00:21:43.000 Yeah, so you who's gonna pick your lettuce, who's gonna be your CEO, and who's gonna do the job for you know, eighty to a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a year.
00:21:52.000 We don't have Americans who can do eight. 0.97
00:21:54.000 So what jobs are left for Americans? 0.74
00:21:57.000 It's just this is where I sound like an old corporations, man.
00:22:02.000 I don't have a problem if you're doing it honestly.
00:22:04.000 But you're an American company.
00:22:07.000 You can't put Americans in the position where they have to compete with third world slave labor in all income demographics. 0.98
00:22:16.000 So we're we're quickly going to I don't know how much you care about this, but I think we develop a story on this and talk to our audience because we're quickly going to get to the place where it's not H one Bs, it's AI and robotics taking the jobs of Americans.
00:22:16.000 Yeah.
00:22:32.000 That's a real big problem.
00:22:33.000 They're gonna it's uh it's not some.
00:22:36.000 It's going to take so much of it that people are Obviously, like Jason, the guy that we had on from uh the all in podcast who was talking about universal basic income with a number of other people and Elon Musk knows this.
00:22:46.000 Everybody in AI kind of at the top knows this is coming, and it's coming fast.
00:22:50.000 Like much faster than people think.
00:22:52.000 And I think that's a really interesting question.
00:22:54.000 Like, how do we how do we deal with this?
00:22:55.000 Because it's the same, essentially it's the same problem.
00:22:58.000 Yeah.
00:22:58.000 You're it replace H1Bs with robots who can do whatever the manual labor stuff is first and then go on to other tasks.
00:23:05.000 Of course, there'll still be some jobs available, but if you cut out 50% of the jobs, yeah, you're gonna have a real big problem.
00:23:12.000 You create other ones as well, just like technology always does, but at some point, yeah.
00:23:16.000 That's very interesting.
00:23:17.000 I understand the sort of libertarian argument about how the market corrects.
00:23:20.000 And I and I largely agree, for example, you have people going like, oh, cars are gonna put those who, you know, those in the horse and buggy uh uh business out of work.
00:23:28.000 Sure, but ultimately we still had an economy that grew from it because it provided more opportunities where people could travel, they could work jobs that they couldn't work in the past.
00:23:35.000 I mean, one of the biggest uh uh honestly one of the most significant impacts from any any type of technological advancement uh in the workforce do you know what it is?
00:23:44.000 I would guess uh automation at the the at the ports.
00:23:48.000 Caffeine.
00:23:49.000 Oh.
00:23:50.000 That's way uh before caffeine, people didn't work night shifts.
00:23:54.000 Before it allowed people you had to work with you know your biological clock, sun gorgeous.
00:23:59.000 How about that?
00:24:00.000 Yeah.
00:24:00.000 You look at a lot, a lot of early foundation, they were like, I can do without the the the beer and please don't take my coffee and uh and my tobacco.
00:24:08.000 So that was a big change where it changed work shifts and you could stagger.
00:24:12.000 So it allowed for more productivity.
00:24:13.000 I think that we do need to, and and this is where there's a gray area where people have disagreements.
00:24:18.000 Technology needs to uh benefit and empower the human race.
00:24:23.000 And first and foremost, the people of our country.
00:24:26.000 If you get to a point where you can quite literally look at the immediate impact and it results in millions of people out of a job, well, then you can also understand that sure, we've automated a bunch of industries, but no one can afford the goods created or provided by these industries because no one is employed by them anymore.
00:24:44.000 It's no longer a net benefit to the costs will go down.
00:24:47.000 So it's a very interesting conversation because you have to figure out how do you do like it's it's a disruptor, the likes of which we've never seen.
00:24:53.000 You can't compare it to the internet or the industrial revolution or anything like that, specifically talking about AI, because AI at a certain point will actually be able to create other AIs, and this isn't very far off at all.
00:25:03.000 Other AIs that are they won't need us as a part of the equation at all anymore.
00:25:06.000 I think it's further off than you think because what last time we had this conversation, the people saying that the AI D Day they it already should have passed.
00:25:13.000 I don't remember that button.
00:25:14.000 Oh yeah, they said like in six months, they said like in a year's time.
00:25:16.000 We talked about this three years ago.
00:25:17.000 And oh yeah, no, people have been talking about it for sure.
00:25:20.000 And maybe they're overplaying their hand a little bit.
00:25:22.000 And so whether it's three years, ten years, twenty years down the road, the problem is fast approaching where they're saying, okay, well, you're gonna reduce the cost of these things by ninety percent.
00:25:32.000 Yeah.
00:25:33.000 Right?
00:25:33.000 So things will be very, very cheap for people.
00:25:35.000 And so I don't think so.
00:25:36.000 UBI comes in.
00:25:37.000 That's where I get off the universal uh that's where I get off, sorry, the the sort of libertarian idea that costs will come down because costs have already come as far as labor, down by 30, 40 percent, right?
00:25:46.000 With H1Bs, cost didn't come down. 1.00
00:25:49.000 I don't think that uh I don't think that Walmart.
00:25:51.000 But they go down by 90 percent.
00:25:53.000 Like you didn't you didn't down by 30, 40 percent and costs went up.
00:25:56.000 So I don't think that a lot of these if a company can continue to charge what it despite their costs going down, they will.
00:26:02.000 That's true.
00:26:04.000 And I I always look at the price of gas, I'm like, when gas is going down and other things aren't going down.
00:26:09.000 Yeah.
00:26:09.000 Well, that's just these other industries saying, well, we're never going back.
00:26:12.000 Right.
00:26:13.000 We can go back.
00:26:14.000 Our our margins would be fine if we roll back our prices, but why will we do that if we've already gone up?
00:26:20.000 Yeah.
00:26:21.000 Um this is where when the left tries to say everything is nuanced as far as the market economy, it i it is much more.
00:26:27.000 For example, looking at beef.
00:26:28.000 Well, the market sort of contracted because of the hyperinflation that we saw and people buying less beef, and so obviously this farms couldn't sustain the kind of operations they had.
00:26:35.000 And we can't just flip a switch and turn it back on, not to mention there are these.
00:26:39.000 I forget the name of the worm.
00:26:41.000 That's a big problem.
00:26:42.000 Um that it's just a matter of when it will come to the United States.
00:26:45.000 So you look at the beef imports, right?
00:26:47.000 Where people say, are why don't we just buy American beef?
00:26:49.000 Well, we can't.
00:26:50.000 So the biggest, I believe uh we import more beef from Australia than any other country.
00:26:55.000 I believe it's like 24%, Canada's like 23%.
00:26:58.000 And then it's either China or Brazil are right up there.
00:27:01.000 Pretty close.
00:27:02.000 Well, can we pull some levers and okay?
00:27:04.000 While we get our industry together here and correct, uh buy it from Argentina as opposed to Brazil?
00:27:10.000 Like that's better.
00:27:12.000 Why are how how about no beef from China?
00:27:15.000 How about less beef from Canada?
00:27:16.000 Because Argentina, they I will say this, they take their beef pretty seriously.
00:27:19.000 Doesn't mean that I want us to be dependent on Argentinian beef, but right now we don't have the ability to meet the market demand entirely from uh the American beef industry.
00:27:27.000 And then we need to create uh or we need to implement some laws that encourage it, that incentivize it so that it's less of a risk for um American uh beef farmers or cattle cattle ranchers uh to do that.
00:27:39.000 But sometimes people just look at it and go like, no, no, no, America for okay, understand that.
00:27:42.000 And then sometimes libertarians go, Costle, come down.
00:27:44.000 They don't always.
00:27:46.000 They don't always.
00:27:46.000 So we need to approach it with how does this benefit?
00:27:49.000 How does this technology benefit the human race?
00:27:52.000 And how does it specifically benefit the American worker?
00:27:54.000 Otherwise you end up to sort of idolatry where you're just sort of sacrificing the well-being of your citizens at the altar of technology.
00:28:02.000 Trevor Burrus, Jr.
00:28:02.000 For sure.
00:28:02.000 And I think that's the big conversation going on right now that billionaires are out there, literally billionaires, working on ways to make this happen and are basically just gonna get more billions.
00:28:12.000 Like it does it doesn't it doesn't compute.
00:28:14.000 It's not like somebody's out there that's gonna just start like you know, a company from scratch and and really be able to play at this level right now.
00:28:19.000 It may at some point the compute power that is required is kind of the barrier to entry.
00:28:23.000 You have to spend a lot of money to be able to do this.
00:28:25.000 So I get it, but it it is a really big problem that they're trying to grapple with.
00:28:29.000 Like, how do we like okay?
00:28:31.000 So what if the worst case scenario is true, other short of them destroying us, short of AI going we don't need humans anymore?
00:28:36.000 Right.
00:28:36.000 What if it just puts everybody out of work or at least a large part of the population, the likes of which we've never seen before, right?
00:28:41.000 What if that happens?
00:28:42.000 How do we deal with it?
00:28:43.000 And they're trying to answer those questions now, and it's like you better hurry up.
00:28:46.000 Yeah.
00:28:46.000 Because people are making plans to keep going.
00:28:49.000 That's one where there needs to be some uh very thoughtful regulation.
00:28:52.000 Yeah, there really does.
00:28:53.000 And Elon called for that a long time ago, or you know, several years ago at the very least.
00:28:56.000 And some people have been sounding the alarm on this since as early as twenty fifteen, like, hey, hey, hey.
00:29:00.000 But his solution is unlimited H1Bs. 0.99
00:29:02.000 No, I know.
00:29:03.000 And that's my problem with Elon.
00:29:05.000 There's a world in which AI can empower the smaller business owner to compete.
00:29:09.000 In other words, automated tasks, account, you know, bookkeeping, things like that, where you can have smaller businesses who can focus more of their energy on creative endeavors and uh being inventive, right?
00:29:20.000 But uh then you also could reach the point where it just automates all of it.
00:29:24.000 And then what do you do?
00:29:26.000 So yeah, it's one of those I I definitely think there's a conversation, but it needs to always take place with true north being how does this benefit uh the human race and particularly the American worker right now.
00:29:39.000 If it if we only see a net negative, uh then I think okay, we need to approach very cautiously, and that's where there does need to be some appropriate thoughtful form of government regulation.
00:29:48.000 Yeah.
00:29:48.000 Otherwise, we're fighting Skynet.
00:29:50.000 Yeah.
00:29:51.000 Yeah. 0.62
00:29:51.000 Except right now, ChatGBT is basically a supercomputer that uh pulls shit from Reddit six years ago. 0.62
00:29:57.000 Well, it's really funny because you know I'm I'm I'm doing more of a deep dive into some of the issues with AI just for fun, because I thought it was an interesting topic, and it scares the hell out of you for a little bit.
00:30:06.000 But my interaction with AI yesterday made me feel like we were totally fine.
00:30:10.000 I was trying to look up a local high school that that I went to, their football schedule, and it's like, oh, the 2025 season hasn't started yet.
00:30:16.000 It starts on August 29th, and I'm like, do better.
00:30:20.000 And it's like, no, the season started like, okay, listen, it's October 21st.
00:30:20.000 Yeah.
00:30:20.000 Try again.
00:30:24.000 The season started on August 29th.
00:30:26.000 Can you tell me their record?
00:30:28.000 Turns out you're correct.
00:30:29.000 Here's their record.
00:30:30.000 Well, okay, we're fine.
00:30:32.000 Yeah.
00:30:32.000 It's gonna take a while.
00:30:33.000 It's definitely gonna take a while.
00:30:34.000 I haven't been all that impressed.
00:30:36.000 But that doesn't mean you know, it's basically a Furby on your computer screen right now.
00:30:40.000 I mean it's a little more than that.
00:30:41.000 But maybe a little more.
00:30:42.000 Maybe a little.
00:30:43.000 We were sold a false pill of goods on Furbies.
00:30:45.000 Remember, like he tells you when he's hungry.
00:30:47.000 You mean I push a button underneath its fur?
00:30:49.000 It's like, oh, censor.
00:30:50.000 It's a it's the tongue is a button.
00:30:53.000 It's funny.
00:30:54.000 It was a Tamagotchi with fur.
00:30:56.000 We've got an increase in value.
00:30:56.000 All right.
00:30:57.000 It's gonna be a collectible item.
00:30:59.000 Yeah.
00:31:00.000 I got a fur because all my friends had them.
00:31:03.000 And it was like you weren't cool.
00:31:04.000 You weren't cool if you didn't have one.
00:31:06.000 And I had it for two days.
00:31:07.000 Uh-and I remember it was the first time I went back to my parents.
00:31:09.000 I'm like, this is a r this is a really bad use of money.
00:31:12.000 Can we please return this?
00:31:14.000 They were expensive too.
00:31:15.000 They were upwards of a hundred or more dollars.
00:31:15.000 Yeah.
00:31:17.000 Really?
00:31:17.000 Yeah, that yeah, back in the what was it, late nineties or early two thousands?
00:31:22.000 Uh it was late nineties.
00:31:23.000 Late nineties.
00:31:24.000 Yeah.
00:31:25.000 That's uh that was a lot of coin, dude. 0.97
00:31:26.000 It sucked. 0.88
00:31:27.000 It didn't do anything. 0.99
00:31:28.000 It'd be like, tickle me.
00:31:29.000 And you like tickle it, and like tickle me.
00:31:31.000 Oh, you mean just push the button on your stomach.
00:31:34.000 Okay.
00:31:35.000 Stephen couldn't even play along, you know.
00:31:37.000 He was like, screw this.
00:31:39.000 Feed me. 0.99
00:31:40.000 And then it like gave you some little piece of shitty food that didn't even fit into its beak to press the tongue censor a button and feed me. 1.00
00:31:47.000 All right. 0.98
00:31:49.000 Hmm.
00:31:50.000 Okay.
00:31:51.000 Thanks, Ferbi.
00:31:53.000 I think I feel like we've created a bond.
00:31:55.000 Let's grab some chats.
00:31:57.000 First chat.
00:31:57.000 All right.
00:32:00.000 What?
00:32:00.000 I was always this miserable, even as a kid.
00:32:07.000 First chat from the Mississippi gentleman coming out swinging.
00:32:07.000 All right.
00:32:10.000 Question for Steven.
00:32:11.000 How can you call out Massey and Paul for doing nothing in Congress and then say you'd campaign on doing nothing?
00:32:16.000 Thank you for service, Jim.
00:32:17.000 Well, they're not doing nothing.
00:32:18.000 No, but we did.
00:32:19.000 They're not doing nothing.
00:32:20.000 That's the problem. 0.98
00:32:21.000 He's out there posing with fucking pro sorry, pro-terrorist Palestinian people, and Rand Paul is out there speaking out against you know something that frankly is well within the federal government's authority to do. 0.98
00:32:33.000 What I'm talking about is if I was mayor or govern like I I just I just wouldn't waste time and resources. 0.99
00:32:38.000 They do a lot of grandstanding.
00:32:38.000 They don't do nothing.
00:32:40.000 That's the problem.
00:32:40.000 I wouldn't do the grandstanding.
00:32:41.000 I'd try and answer as bluntly as possible, as matter-of factly as possible, and I'd very likely lose.
00:32:48.000 I'm not running for office.
00:32:49.000 I'm just in the case.
00:32:50.000 I think we should do it.
00:32:51.000 No, no, no.
00:32:52.000 And we should tape it all.
00:32:53.000 When I retire, it'd be a much easier job than this.
00:32:55.000 What happened?
00:32:56.000 It's such a hard job.
00:32:57.000 Really, is it?
00:32:58.000 I've seen your vacation schedule.
00:33:01.000 They vote no on a lot of stuff.
00:33:03.000 Yeah, their job is so hard that none of them are doing it, and we could not discern the difference unless we work for the federal government.
00:33:11.000 All right, next chat.
00:33:12.000 Next chat from D. Gadkins.
00:33:14.000 Question for the crew.
00:33:15.000 With Mamdani on his way to win NYC, hopefully not.
00:33:19.000 How will this fuel other major cities to allow for commie rule? 1.00
00:33:22.000 Should we be concerned as citizens?
00:33:27.000 I don't really know that you should be all that concerned uh because this is this is a very localized problem, and I think the citizens of New York City should be concerned.
00:33:35.000 And I think that those who don't want to live under commie rule should leave. 0.96
00:33:39.000 I know that's easier said than done, but you do have to make some choices.
00:33:42.000 Do you want to live under a communist?
00:33:45.000 How much is whatever, your your your current job that pays better than if you went to the middle of America? 0.97
00:33:50.000 How much is that worth to you raising your family under that that that commie rule? 1.00
00:33:55.000 Um as far as other cities, no, I think if this was a uh like if we were seeing a trend uh across a state or across, you know, our our you know, the national our house or Senate, sure.
00:34:06.000 No, I think it'll be just like for example, okay, Chicago, the gun laws, Detroit, New York.
00:34:12.000 Does that affect you in Oklahoma?
00:34:15.000 Does it affect you in suburban Texas?
00:34:17.000 Does it affect No, it doesn't.
00:34:19.000 So, yeah.
00:34:21.000 The communism in New York City doesn't affect you.
00:34:23.000 Um, and I think it'll probably serve as a valuable example for the rest of the country as it inevitably fails.
00:34:30.000 I so I I strongly disagree short term.
00:34:33.000 Long term, definitely agree.
00:34:33.000 Okay.
00:34:34.000 I just don't think the consequences of his actions will catch up with him fast enough to prevent somebody else from going, look, see, it's working in New York.
00:34:41.000 Right.
00:34:42.000 We need the same kind of thing here.
00:34:43.000 So long term, I think, in and long term could be five, ten years.
00:34:46.000 That will come back around and you're right.
00:34:47.000 It will serve as a cautionary tale.
00:34:49.000 Invariably, in my opinion.
00:34:50.000 I think it'll go term.
00:34:52.000 I think it'll go south really quickly.
00:34:53.000 I don't know.
00:34:54.000 He's got a lot of money.
00:34:54.000 He can just if he's just gonna tax billionaires, it's easy to say like leave New York, but you have to build the infrastructure for the financial industry to be able to leave New York and go somewhere else and operate as efficiently as they do now, right?
00:35:06.000 And that's hard.
00:35:06.000 So it that takes time.
00:35:08.000 So yes, a lot of people will hate the fact that you have to pay more money, but they'll still do it because they're making a lot of money.
00:35:12.000 I I I think I think when you're thinking macro, sure, but I think let's say that he implements government grocery stores.
00:35:18.000 I think immediately people go, oh, that's what they look like.
00:35:22.000 Or they'll go, Oh, I now don't have my local grocer because of wait, why?
00:35:28.000 Oh, oh, oh, because of the government grocery store, and then they go there, go, oh, I never want to go there again.
00:35:32.000 I think there will be some really acute short-term effects.
00:35:35.000 Um but you know what?
00:35:37.000 This is also part and parcel of living in the country that we do.
00:35:39.000 If the cities want they want to elect someone like that, okay.
00:35:42.000 One thing I will say though about, and it rubs me the wrong way.
00:35:46.000 Um, you and I kind of discuss this.
00:35:48.000 Uh people talking about Cuomo and is his name Curtis Sleewa, is that how it's pronounced?
00:35:51.000 Sliwa.
00:35:52.000 S L I W A. Uh Yeah, the uh the subway guardian.
00:35:55.000 I always forget the name of something guardian.
00:35:57.000 Um, people saying he needs to drop out.
00:35:59.000 He's hurting New York Because then Cuomo could win.
00:36:01.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:36:02.000 Why doesn't Cuomo drop out?
00:36:05.000 And I think there's a case to be made there because Cuomo lost the primary of his own party.
00:36:09.000 He was ousted from his party in that state.
00:36:12.000 He then tried to run for a lower office, think it would be thinking it would be a gimme.
00:36:16.000 Lost his party's primary, is now running in a general at least Chris, we have a two party system.
00:36:22.000 He won his primary.
00:36:23.000 So if you're saying that New Yorkers need to have another option, well, shouldn't it be the guy who actually went through the process and won his primary? 0.87
00:36:31.000 I think that Cuomo is actually the spoiler here, and that prick and his nipple bar bell should pull out. 0.84
00:36:36.000 I don't think it'll make a difference, though. 0.85
00:36:37.000 I think maybe it won't, but I just don't think it's fair.
00:36:39.000 I I agree maybe not.
00:36:41.000 I just don't know why people are going this, you know, Curtis Sleewa, he he should pull out people acting like this guy is the spoiler.
00:36:46.000 He did it the right way.
00:36:48.000 Cuomo the trick.
00:36:49.000 I think that's fair.
00:36:50.000 I think the the the logic is that if Sleewo pulls out, those voters are not going to vote for Mom Domini, and maybe they'll vote for Cuomo and be enough to push him over the top.
00:36:58.000 Like at least okay, we don't like Cuomo, but he's better than this socialist guy.
00:37:01.000 If Cuomo drops out, I don't think you're gonna get a lot of those voters going to a Republican.
00:37:07.000 I think it would be the same.
00:37:08.000 I don't.
00:37:09.000 I think it would be comparable, and I at that point you got it.
00:37:11.000 It's hard to call, but I think there are a lot of people that are, you know, uh Democrat voters that don't want to be socialist voters.
00:37:11.000 Look.
00:37:18.000 I I think so too, but I think there are a lot of people who just simply don't after COVID, do not want to vote for Cuomo.
00:37:24.000 Sure.
00:37:24.000 So think how many pill to swallow, man.
00:37:26.000 How many Democrats do you think exists who are like, no, I don't want Cuomo because I went through it?
00:37:29.000 I think I think there's a higher percentage of them who would vote for Curtis um than you think.
00:37:35.000 And I all that in combination with the fact that one of them won their party's primary.
00:37:39.000 Cuomo didn't.
00:37:40.000 He keeps trying, even though people don't want a bunch of money is dumped in.
00:37:44.000 I just wish there was a better candidate.
00:37:44.000 Yeah.
00:37:46.000 Nothing against uh sleeve.
00:37:47.000 I've heard he's done you know a lot of great things.
00:37:49.000 I but I don't know everything about the guy.
00:37:50.000 I just know that doesn't seem like we put the very best candidate forward to be able to win, like and this was an opportunity to potentially be able to win.
00:37:58.000 I mean, you got a guy that nobody likes in Cuomo, right?
00:38:01.000 You've got a guy who's a an avowed socialist.
00:38:04.000 a lot of people are like, okay, give me door number three.
00:38:06.000 And door number three is a Republican.
00:38:07.000 They're like, what's this guy's call it?
00:38:10.000 He was also pretty anti-Trump quite a bit, Curtis Lee was.
00:38:13.000 So yeah, I still think if I'm going to call on someone to pull out, it would be the guy who lost his own party's primary, not the guy who won it.
00:38:19.000 And I understand that uh people may not agree, but that's gonna sound silly, and I and I know it's not an opinion of mine, but a lot of people will just vote based on the picture.
00:38:29.000 There are people out there who do that.
00:38:30.000 Yeah, it's true.
00:38:32.000 So uh maybe just uh put on a suit, ditch the beret.
00:38:36.000 I mean, that'll help just like one day.
00:38:37.000 I mean, I know it's a very special beret.
00:38:39.000 And it means a lot to you, and it's about the subways or in your friends or whatever.
00:38:43.000 But yeah, maybe just for the picture, maybe just one time you just you just ditch the beret. 0.98
00:38:47.000 And maybe uh maybe you'll catch another couple extra dumb votes. 0.91
00:38:50.000 They should just trot out a spoiler, be like, hey, uh new to this race, Bernie gets I'd take it. 0.98
00:38:58.000 All right, next chat.
00:38:59.000 Next chat from River Leaves.
00:39:02.000 So will will all the no kings people agree that uh agree with us now that government needs to be limited in power instead of likely not.
00:39:10.000 Of course not.
00:39:11.000 There you go.
00:39:12.000 Limited.
00:39:15.000 These were the people saying give on to us a king.
00:39:17.000 Yes.
00:39:18.000 And now they're saying no kings about the person who was voted in.
00:39:21.000 So yeah, it's it's all theater, it's all political theater.
00:39:26.000 Anytime the left says, hey, well, the constitution, you know they're lying.
00:39:30.000 Anytime they try and go, well, this is fiscally irresponsible, you know they're lying.
00:39:33.000 Anytime they say, Well, the government shouldn't have this much author, you know they're lying.
00:39:38.000 Or can I add one to that?
00:39:40.000 I can't believe what those people said, you know they're lying.
00:39:43.000 They could care less what happens in a group chat or anything like that. 0.99
00:39:46.000 And it with the kind of filth and crap that we see coming out of their mouths and not condemning it from leadership, not just random leftist trolls on the internet. 0.99
00:39:56.000 I'm like, I just don't care anymore. 0.99
00:39:58.000 Yeah.
00:39:58.000 Because of that.
00:39:59.000 Of course I care.
00:40:00.000 I we we police each other with some of the stuff that we say, but not I'm not going out there going, I got Pearl clutching and I'm I can't believe they said that.
00:40:07.000 Right.
00:40:07.000 No, stop it.
00:40:08.000 No, I agree.
00:40:09.000 All right, next chat.
00:40:10.000 Next chat from Mads for Days.
00:40:12.000 Question for the crew.
00:40:14.000 I agree with the taxpayers only being able to vote, but how do we respond to the no taxation without representation argument?
00:40:20.000 They aren't paying taxes.
00:40:21.000 That's the there you go.
00:40:22.000 Winner done.
00:40:23.000 Net you have to net pay into this country.
00:40:25.000 What was it like 45, 47% back when Romney was running?
00:40:28.000 I think that's what he got in trouble for.
00:40:30.000 Yeah, I think he said, I think he said uh 47%, and then the last number we said it was like 43 or 44%.
00:40:36.000 It's always over 40 percent of people who don't pay any federal election.
00:40:39.000 Well, here's the deal.
00:40:39.000 And and I would even split it, maybe you don't, but on federal elections.
00:40:43.000 You don't get to vote in federal elections.
00:40:44.000 If you pay local and state taxes, of course, you get to vote on the laws and stuff that are passed locally and in your state.
00:40:50.000 There you go, fine.
00:40:51.000 But in federal elections, I think the rules may be a little different, but at the very least, just have the conversation.
00:40:56.000 Yeah.
00:40:56.000 Wasn't always like it is today.
00:40:58.000 So let's look at why it was like it was before.
00:41:00.000 See what's good about that and what's bad about that.
00:41:02.000 Yeah.
00:41:03.000 I mean, you can't have I think I've sort of presented this uh this analogy on air.
00:41:07.000 It's like it's a family.
00:41:09.000 You don't have your kids vote on everything.
00:41:11.000 Because they only take, they're not providing the resources for the house.
00:41:15.000 Hey, well, what do we want to eat for dinner?
00:41:17.000 Imagine if your kids voted every single night.
00:41:19.000 That's all Snap EBT is.
00:41:20.000 Yeah.
00:41:21.000 Your kids were the ones who were the deciding vote every single night on what you had for dinner.
00:41:25.000 And it didn't matter if you said, Well, we don't have the budget for that.
00:41:28.000 What do we want?
00:41:29.000 We want uh, I don't know, we want uh Ponderosa Steakhouse.
00:41:33.000 I think they're still around.
00:41:34.000 Nope.
00:41:34.000 For the 15th time, we don't have we we already have a hundred thousand dollars in credit card debt.
00:41:39.000 Well, we voted, we want it.
00:41:41.000 You couldn't manage a household like that.
00:41:43.000 No.
00:41:43.000 It's a very, very new concept, and it it really does defy reason that people who contribute nothing get to vote on those who contribute.
00:41:50.000 It's silly.
00:41:52.000 And I and I don't apologize for saying absolutely not. 0.68
00:41:54.000 Well, it'll disapproportionately affect uh minority.
00:41:57.000 Fine.
00:41:57.000 And I think one vote per household.
00:42:00.000 That's my that's my view.
00:42:02.000 Next chat.
00:42:03.000 I think there's a good case for it.
00:42:04.000 Really quickly before next chat.
00:42:05.000 Uh Sliwa, I think yesterday posted this.
00:42:09.000 Cuomo and Mamdanny are one and the same, change my mind. 0.98
00:42:12.000 Hey.
00:42:14.000 Yeah, all right.
00:42:15.000 Good for him.
00:42:16.000 Hey, there you go.
00:42:16.000 I appreciate it.
00:42:17.000 Yeah.
00:42:18.000 Yeah, I got a lot of mileage out of that thing.
00:42:20.000 Final chat.
00:42:22.000 All right.
00:42:22.000 Uh let's see if I can find a good one here.
00:42:25.000 Um hurt yourself.
00:42:30.000 I just want to make sure it's a good one here.
00:42:32.000 All right.
00:42:33.000 Well, here we go.
00:42:33.000 Say say B asks.
00:42:35.000 Question for all.
00:42:36.000 My mom is actively trying to get us divorced. 1.00
00:42:38.000 Uh not her and her mom, but her and her husband.
00:42:40.000 Uh, but expects my husband to want to come to all family gatherings.
00:42:44.000 What would you do or say?
00:42:45.000 I stand up for him, she calls me.
00:42:47.000 Okay, hold on a second.
00:42:48.000 Let me keep this up.
00:42:48.000 Yes.
00:42:49.000 My mom is actually trying to get us divorced, but expects my husband. 1.00
00:42:52.000 So so you're saying your mother is trying to get you and your husband divorced.
00:42:55.000 I feel like we need more details.
00:42:57.000 This is a great life advice question.
00:42:58.000 Should we uh say could you send one more follow-up uh like follow-up chat to give me some context?
00:43:05.000 And then we're gonna roast you. 1.00
00:43:06.000 Because that's what happens.
00:43:07.000 I'm not gonna roast this person, seems like they're doing the right thing.
00:43:09.000 I'll I will roast your mom. 1.00
00:43:10.000 Yes. 0.97
00:43:11.000 Um I will tell you this.
00:43:15.000 Is uh and parent, especially if you have great parents and they're present, that's very important, and having a support structure to help with the grandkids, yes, you're never gonna see eye to eye and everything.
00:43:24.000 And I know that uh Pop's crowder's watching.
00:43:26.000 But like like the other night, he was there putting the grandma and grandpa were putting the kids to bed, and my dad started wrestling with them and they got all wound up.
00:43:34.000 So they didn't want to go to bed.
00:43:35.000 Oh boy.
00:43:36.000 And I was like, uh, you know what?
00:43:37.000 I was like, that's kind of the perk of being in a grandparent.
00:43:40.000 You get to get in and rustling up and like, all right, you take them.
00:43:43.000 So you're never gonna see because you know, he loves he doesn't get to see them, and he loves spending time with them.
00:43:47.000 So you're never gonna so you have to go like do they love your family?
00:43:50.000 Okay, great.
00:43:50.000 You're never gonna see eye to eye on everything, and it's important that you keep that family close.
00:43:55.000 Um they love their grandparents and and and I love my parents and they love the kids.
00:44:00.000 But uh if they are trying to tear down your family, to which you have a duty as a wife and a husband, kind of like I was saying, hey, you know, technology needs to exist to serve um the human race, the American worker.
00:44:16.000 Same thing with the grandparents.
00:44:17.000 Uh if they are an act of threat against your family unit against your covenant, um, the interactions with them need to be as limited as possible.
00:44:28.000 This doesn't go well.
00:44:30.000 And I will also say this because you are um because you're a woman and because you know there's kind of this sort of enclave of the sisterhood.
00:44:37.000 Um she'll chip away, chip away, chip away, maybe catch you on a bad day where you're actually mad with your husband, or he did something, God forbid, he made a mistake.
00:44:46.000 That seed can be planted, and I've seen it uh be incredibly corrosive.
00:44:50.000 Like divorce is different among women than men.
00:44:53.000 And I I don't know the studies in front of me, but there there's been quite a bit of research.
00:44:56.000 Where it's almost like a contagion where if a woman has A friend or two or more friends who get divorced, they are much more likely to get divorced themselves. 0.84
00:45:06.000 As to why we don't have that answer, I can take a guess.
00:45:10.000 It's because it desensitizes you a little bit.
00:45:13.000 And typically, if a woman gets a divorce and regrets it, they're not going to tell you. 0.99
00:45:18.000 We have a society where when women get divorced, they're empowered and you slay queen. 1.00
00:45:18.000 Right? 1.00
00:45:23.000 And if a man uh decides to get divorced when he has children in the house, he's a piece of shit who abandoned his family. 1.00
00:45:30.000 I think both should be treated that way. 0.99
00:45:33.000 Uh the initiator of divorce.
00:45:34.000 And just to be clear, because people will throw this against the church and go, like, well, oh yeah, well, what you're div there's a difference between someone who was abandoned by someone else because they have a legal system that enables that, and someone who chose to divorce when they had made a promise and they have children in the house.
00:45:49.000 I know the exceptions.
00:45:50.000 Okay.
00:45:50.000 Physical abuse, got it.
00:45:52.000 Infidelity, understood.
00:45:54.000 I I get all of it. 0.80
00:45:56.000 Outside of that, it doesn't matter how shitty it is, how difficult it is, it is incumbent upon both of you to make it work.
00:46:04.000 And unfortunately, only one side is really kind of pressured into that.
00:46:07.000 And men tend to stay at a much, much higher rate, regardless of their personal happiness.
00:46:13.000 So your mom, if she's doing that, and I would love to see, I don't know if there's a follow-up with details.
00:46:17.000 Okay, let me see the follow up details.
00:46:18.000 There's not a ton of details, but it does shed a little light.
00:46:21.000 She said, I was divorced before at 21, and my mom really instigated it.
00:46:25.000 I feel like I'm living through it all over again.
00:46:26.000 Oh.
00:46:27.000 Yeah, you probably are.
00:46:27.000 You probably are.
00:46:28.000 You need to get it. 0.86
00:46:29.000 You need to cut her out. 0.87
00:46:29.000 Absolutely are. 0.87
00:46:30.000 As much as you can.
00:46:31.000 Because that per you have kids, I'm I'm guessing that's why the the mother mother wants your husband to come to to want. 1.00
00:46:38.000 First of all, what a woman thing to say. 0.99
00:46:40.000 Not I don't want you to just to come.
00:46:42.000 I want you to want to come.
00:46:43.000 Yeah.
00:46:44.000 And then I'm gonna tell you, by the way, you can't come.
00:46:46.000 Right.
00:46:47.000 But I but I really want you to be at the kid's birthday, but I got this new guy, Rick, he doesn't like you.
00:46:47.000 Yeah.
00:46:54.000 Because he heard about how you used to make me scream.
00:46:54.000 Yeah.
00:46:58.000 Uh you haven't.
00:46:59.000 Just another quick point she just said in chat, mom has been married three times as well.
00:47:04.000 Why is your mom uh because I want you to fit, but can you answer this?
00:47:07.000 Why is your mom trying to get you and your husband divorced? 1.00
00:47:11.000 Is he beating it?
00:47:12.000 What is her reason?
00:47:14.000 And it's still very likely wrong, but I would like to know it because it that might determine my answer.
00:47:18.000 I'm sure you have kids, right?
00:47:18.000 Yeah, Josh.
00:47:19.000 Because that's the whole thing about the family the family gatherings thing.
00:47:22.000 Yeah.
00:47:22.000 There's probably kids involved.
00:47:23.000 There's no way you want the best for those those grandkids.
00:47:26.000 No.
00:47:27.000 If you're encouraging the father to be out of the home.
00:47:30.000 Well, here's the thing too.
00:47:31.000 If she can't manipulate you, you know who's a lot easier to kids. 0.99
00:47:35.000 Oh, kids.
00:47:36.000 Oh, isn't Daddy isn't daddy mean?
00:47:38.000 Yeah.
00:47:39.000 When he tells you to clean your room.
00:47:41.000 Isn't dad daddy he made you eat the broccoli?
00:47:44.000 Do you remember that?
00:47:45.000 Yeah.
00:47:45.000 Exactly.
00:47:46.000 Exactly.
00:47:47.000 If he wasn't around, mommy would just let you do whatever you want.
00:47:49.000 Do what the gremlins did. 0.53
00:47:50.000 Put her in a chair. 0.99
00:47:51.000 Yeah.
00:47:52.000 Do they did she respond with the details as to why she wants them to get the not yet?
00:47:56.000 I've only I've only seen uh one kid with each of the two husbands, so two kids. 0.99
00:48:00.000 Okay.
00:48:01.000 Got it, got it, yeah.
00:48:02.000 Um maybe mom has a crush on the husband. 1.00
00:48:05.000 Jeez.
00:48:06.000 You're misery loves company, but I will say this, it's it's far more again, and this is because this is not necessarily female nature. 0.99
00:48:06.000 Could be. 0.99
00:48:16.000 Um and I think this is important to note because you know, I'm not in the red pill community, and even our friend Andrew Wilson is not at all.
00:48:22.000 He doesn't say go out and sleep with a bunch of women.
00:48:24.000 He he he speaks from a position of authority where he has uh a wonderful wife and he has uh a pretty happy, healthy marriage, and people try and say, Oh, she was married before. 0.95
00:48:34.000 Sure, you can say that he's a hypocrite because he married someone who's married before, but guess what?
00:48:37.000 They're making it work and they love each other. 0.98
00:48:40.000 And he advocates for monogamy.
00:48:42.000 Um but culturally, women sometimes are are actually encouraged to go against their nature, for example, being hyperly promiscuous. 1.00
00:48:49.000 That's not something that women tend to want to do. 1.00
00:48:52.000 Uh but they've been told that it's empowering.
00:48:54.000 And in this case, you also get women they're conditioned to take pride in leaving their man.
00:49:01.000 Why?
00:49:02.000 Because there's a badge of honor of independence.
00:49:05.000 Of course, that goes out the window when you actually get the stats on on child support and alimony. 0.93
00:49:10.000 But even if a woman is miserable, right? 1.00
00:49:12.000 Because women don't typically want to be alone. 0.99
00:49:14.000 And men don't either. 0.68
00:49:16.000 But women typically want to be part of a partnership to be a teammate. 1.00
00:49:21.000 But they, unlike many men who I have encountered, even if they're miserable in the divor in their divorce, they know it, they know it's a mistake.
00:49:29.000 They'll Tell the next woman that it's the best decision they've ever made. 1.00
00:49:33.000 I mean, I will tell you I'll tell you this, it's a horrible thing.
00:49:35.000 I'm as anti-divorce as I've ever been.
00:49:38.000 Um, and my eyes have been opened to uh some pitfalls and some things that are outside of your control, and I want to want to help other people avoid divorce as best as they possibly can.
00:49:51.000 And I will tell you this almost every man who I've discussed this with who has gone through a divorce would say the same thing.
00:49:57.000 I'll tell you like it's it was worse than a death in the family.
00:50:02.000 That's not always the answer.
00:50:03.000 More often than not, you'll get a woman go, it's the best decision I ever made. 1.00
00:50:07.000 Um finally free.
00:50:09.000 Yeah, finally free.
00:50:10.000 Then they could be me, spread my wings, insert cliche here.
00:50:13.000 I bet put it this way.
00:50:14.000 Your mom, between divorce, you know, husband one and two or two and three, probably would be saying it was the best decision they ever made, and I bet you would probably be saying, because then I never would have met X, husband number two, and after husband number two, the best decision I ever made, leaving husband number two.
00:50:34.000 They can't identify the difference between happiness and fulfillment and purpose.
00:50:41.000 Uh I guarantee you that if you were to take a poll of uh married men who are currently banging an NFL professional cheerleader, they'd tell you that they feel really happy in that moment.
00:50:54.000 They're happy because they're banging a cheerleader. 1.00
00:50:57.000 There's a difference between happiness and fulfillment and meaning.
00:51:01.000 And society has conflated for women because it's a false form of empowerment, happiness, which can be very selfish, and true fulfillment, true joy, which can only really be attained through hardship and through discipline and through those times when you've pushed through being unhappy to find true happiness. 0.99
00:51:19.000 But you can't say that because that would require a judgment, and that would require accountability.
00:51:23.000 It would require the conversation of do you really think it was right to leave the man who didn't cheat on you and didn't abuse you when you had kids with him.
00:51:32.000 The woman would have to answer, no, it was wrong, and I did wrong by my children. 0.90
00:51:38.000 They very often don't want to. 0.97
00:51:41.000 Your mom is miserable, your mom's made some bad decisions.
00:51:44.000 She might even tell you that she's happy now if he's currently married. 0.98
00:51:48.000 That's bound to change.
00:51:50.000 Why would you take any advice from her?
00:51:53.000 Sounds like you know you shouldn't take advice from her.
00:51:55.000 Um, did we get the answer as to why?
00:51:58.000 Uh I had to piece things together, shock of shock because I didn't get a very straight answer, but um it's uh it seems like they asked mom to to like wash her hands when they had the new baby, she kind of refused, so they limited her babysitting privileges, and it seems like part of it might have stemmed from that.
00:52:14.000 Like maybe she blames the husband for not allowing her near the kids.
00:52:18.000 Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
00:52:19.000 That that definitely makes sense. 1.00
00:52:20.000 The husband's like, hey, uh, you're not my mom, shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:52:24.000 This is my baby, this is my house. 1.00
00:52:26.000 You can get out.
00:52:27.000 Yeah.
00:52:27.000 And she went, Oh, well, this guy's gotta go.
00:52:30.000 You mean like an entirely reasonable request, like hey, wash your hands before interacting with a newborn as uh as as actually directed by a doctor.
00:52:30.000 Yeah.
00:52:38.000 So this woman's very self-absorbed. 1.00
00:52:39.000 I won't use the term narcissist because women will use that with every single guy they date who they have a problem with, and it's less than one percent of population earth who are actually pathological narcissists. 0.95
00:52:47.000 Uh, but this is a very selfish, self-absorbed woman. 1.00
00:52:50.000 If three marriages uh weren't indicative enough, and I'm willing to bet that she probably initiated most of them, if not all, turning a could a very reasonable request, whether you agree or not, whether he asked the right way or not, a request of could you wash your hands before playing with the baby, turning that into a reason for divorce.
00:53:11.000 This is a bad person.
00:53:12.000 This is a person I would say.
00:53:15.000 Let me, before saying bad, maybe they have good qualities.
00:53:17.000 It's a personality type.
00:53:18.000 For sure.
00:53:19.000 The kind of person, it's it's very selfish.
00:53:21.000 Yes.
00:53:22.000 I can't I can't just do this little thing for you because you're making me do it.
00:53:28.000 Right.
00:53:29.000 It it's a very it's so selfish.
00:53:31.000 I don't want to say narcissistic because that, you know, the term is used way too much.
00:53:36.000 Uh but it's, you know, it's in the area.
00:53:39.000 Yeah.
00:53:39.000 It's definitely a selfish personal.
00:53:43.000 I don't know what the what a better word than selfish to use.
00:53:46.000 It's someone who's entirely self-focused.
00:53:47.000 Let's look at that.
00:53:48.000 Okay, a what look at the people involved.
00:53:50.000 A wife, right? 0.87
00:53:51.000 You, a husband, okay, a child, and over here, a mother.
00:53:57.000 In his case, mother in law.
00:53:58.000 All right.
00:53:59.000 Uh, who is affected by the action of washing their hands or not washing their hands, whether you agree with it or not.
00:54:06.000 The child, obviously, and doctors tell you to obviously be very careful with newborns and and because their immune system isn't developed yet, wash your hands, okay.
00:54:13.000 The mother, the father are affected because they are tasked with the duty, the well being of that child, right?
00:54:20.000 And if there are complications, God forbid they have to deal with it.
00:54:23.000 And to a very, very small degree, the mother, because she has to go through my God, the anguish of washing her hands.
00:54:29.000 Oh my God.
00:54:30.000 And throughout all of this, I don't care on tone and whether it was asked the right way and whether it was tactful.
00:54:36.000 She has completely discounted the people who are most affected by it and made it all about her, the lady who is the least affected by it.
00:54:43.000 And this problem could be solved by 30 seconds of washing the hand.
00:54:48.000 And instead, she's trying to destroy your marriage. 1.00
00:54:51.000 Now I'm not sure.
00:54:52.000 A simple act of service can be fixed with one simple act of service to your child, your child-in-law, and your grandchild.
00:54:58.000 Right.
00:54:59.000 That's it.
00:55:00.000 Washing your hands?
00:55:01.000 Yeah.
00:55:02.000 You can't do that.
00:55:03.000 Right.
00:55:03.000 I'll tell you, it's like it's this simple.
00:55:05.000 Like uh with with my uh my uh missus or or or um the grandparents.
00:55:11.000 I had a conversation one time, like, oh, well, I gave her this, uh, my daughter some food.
00:55:15.000 I was like, yeah, well, just so you like just in the future, don't give them that because that's kind I know it's kind of healthy, it's on the line, but we don't give treats until after they finish their food.
00:55:23.000 And oh, okay.
00:55:26.000 Course corrected.
00:55:27.000 Right?
00:55:28.000 Mistakes are made, and grandparents are gonna spoil your kids. 0.99
00:55:31.000 Or you might not be on the same page where you think, well, technically it's a muffin, you're like, that's just a fucking cupcake that's labeled chocolate muffin. 0.97
00:55:38.000 So they can't have that until they eat their steak and rice. 0.97
00:55:43.000 Uh whatever it is, right?
00:55:44.000 Okay, great, because people go, oh, we want what's best for the family.
00:55:47.000 This mom, your mom, doesn't want what is best for the family, and she doesn't even want what's best for herself. 1.00
00:55:53.000 She wants to be right.
00:55:54.000 She wants to be right at the cost of your family and even the cost of her well-being because she doesn't care, she can't be wrong.
00:56:02.000 And if she's a whether she's a bad person or not, I don't know.
00:56:06.000 I will tell you this.
00:56:08.000 I bet my life on this. 0.99
00:56:09.000 That is a woman, incapable, incapable. 1.00
00:56:13.000 It's not possible that she could dispense good advice.
00:56:18.000 It will be bad advice.
00:56:20.000 At best, sometimes maybe neutral.
00:56:22.000 She will often give bad advice. 0.99
00:56:24.000 She's made it clear she has a vested interest in tearing down your family. 0.99
00:56:28.000 And if she can't break into your mind, and by the way, you may be mentally strong, she probably can find those cracks because she's maxed out her character's experience points on the manipulation bar.
00:56:40.000 If she can't do it on you, she'll do it on the kids. 0.98
00:56:42.000 And you'd like to think that people don't, but far more people do than you realize.
00:56:48.000 For proof, see children used as wedges as leverage in custody battles across this country.
00:56:55.000 It really is uh a pr pretty important frontier as far as um rights and this.
00:57:03.000 The people who just manipulate manipulate all day, that's all they do.
00:57:06.000 Yeah.
00:57:07.000 They don't they only they don't even admit they do it.
00:57:09.000 Right.
00:57:09.000 Because they don't know they're doing it.
00:57:10.000 Yeah.
00:57:11.000 They just live their life the way that they see fit, which is for me, about me, all the time, me.
00:57:16.000 Yeah.
00:57:16.000 And they don't realize what they're doing.
00:57:18.000 Yeah.
00:57:18.000 They think, well, you would accuse me of manipulating that child because I convinced them to to get daddy to leave.
00:57:24.000 Right.
00:57:25.000 The advice I'd give you here, yeah, is the same advice I would give in every single scenario.
00:57:28.000 Take everything else out of it.
00:57:30.000 Let me try and really, really simplify this.
00:57:33.000 Take out how you feel about your mom, how close you are.
00:57:36.000 Doesn't matter.
00:57:37.000 Take out how you feel about your husband.
00:57:39.000 It doesn't matter.
00:57:40.000 How in love with him you are?
00:57:41.000 It doesn't matter.
00:57:41.000 Take out whether you love him at all.
00:57:43.000 It doesn't matter.
00:57:44.000 And just think of it through duty and responsibility.
00:57:48.000 Do you have a duty?
00:57:49.000 What did you make a covenant with your husband?
00:57:53.000 Do you sign a contract?
00:57:54.000 Okay.
00:57:55.000 What are your responsibilities?
00:57:56.000 What's your duty?
00:57:57.000 Is your duty to your mom?
00:58:00.000 Is your duty to your husband, even before the kids, and then your children, just as his duty is to you.
00:58:06.000 But I don't even want you to worry about other people's duties, worry about yours.
00:58:09.000 That's it.
00:58:09.000 Let's simplify it.
00:58:10.000 Let's narrow this down to approach all of these familial problems to your duty.
00:58:19.000 To whom do you have a duty?
00:58:21.000 That's a really simple answer.
00:58:22.000 Your husband, then your kids.
00:58:23.000 God, your husband, your kids. 0.98
00:58:25.000 I don't know how it works without uh uh Judeo Christian principles.
00:58:30.000 I really don't.
00:58:30.000 I I I don't know why anyone who's secular would get married.
00:58:34.000 I I I can't I can't make a case for it.
00:58:36.000 And of course it's a necessity if you are um a Christian.
00:58:41.000 All right.
00:58:42.000 Just what is your duty?
00:58:43.000 To your husband?
00:58:44.000 What interferes with that duty?
00:58:48.000 Whoever it is, whether it's your mom, whether it's your dad, whether it's the state, whether it's a teacher, cast it as far as the eye can see and fulfill your duty.
00:58:59.000 And the good news is if you do that, and he does that, that's actually going to foster a whole lot more love.
00:59:05.000 And even if it doesn't foster the warm, fuzzy feeling of love, it's gonna be better for your kids.
00:59:10.000 Your kids are not better off with that cackling witch determining their welfare in the future. 1.00
00:59:18.000 Nope you, your husband, your duty.
00:59:21.000 Worry about your duty, your responsibility, and the answers become really clear.
00:59:26.000 I'm sorry that you have to go through this. 0.97
00:59:28.000 And I hope that you guys can still have some kind of relationship, but my God, your duty demands that you limit that relationship until the lady trying to tear down your covenant before God until she figures her shit out. 0.97
00:59:40.000 And I mean it. 0.98
00:59:41.000 It's tough.
00:59:42.000 Start doing that now and make it really clear and go tell your husband you love him.
00:59:46.000 And if you think that that guy needs uh some sexual release, make that happen.
