On this week's episode of Rumble: Spooktacular, we discuss the impact the government shutdown is having on the economy, whether or not it's a good thing, and what it means for the midterms. Plus, a Halloween Spectacular that's coming up this Friday.
00:04:38.000It's your boy D-Day, aka D-Boy, aka D-Lish, aka D Spice, aka D Dog, the D Trigger, the D-Town Clown, the one and only D-Train, always in D-tention, always taking detours.
00:11:28.000I don't think that wasn't the high point, okay?
00:11:32.000To be fair, and here's the thing, because everything is international these days, now American films have retroactively had to be rewritten for the Indian market.
00:13:32.000You know, Toronto, one of my favorites ever, the mayor Olivia Chow, she marked the beginning of the holiday the only way that she knows how through gross uncomfortable pandering.
00:17:00.000The instinct is to just take that person, the source of that harm, the source of that issue, and then just throw them away, put them in a cage, and throw away the key.
00:17:09.000That doesn't address the reason why that harm was created in the first place.
00:17:12.000There are lots of times people who create trauma for others are those who themselves went through trauma earlier in their own lives.
00:17:19.000I bring all of this up to say that, you know, again, like when we talk about policing, I don't think the system actually makes us safer.
00:17:26.000I think what it does is it just removes problems out of view.
00:17:30.000And here's the thing: we have a fundamentally different worldview, and I'll get to that.
00:18:25.000I believe that punishment should be intensely uncomfortable for those who harm their fellow citizens, for those who've decided to break the law.
00:18:33.000I believe they need to be separated, and I believe it needs to be severe enough that it acts as a deterrent.
00:18:39.000We can't fix all the root causes as to why someone might commit a crime.
00:18:47.000And if you look at demographics, you notice that not all poor people, depending on their demographic, commit violent crimes at the same rate.
00:18:55.000You're never going to nerf the entire world.
00:20:03.000And then you're going to ask some white Gen Z kid who isn't even in the workforce yet.
00:20:09.000You're going to ask him, someone who's never owned slaves, whose forefathers have never owned slaves, to foot the bill for people today, even though one of his forefathers spilled his blood and died to free slaves.
00:20:21.000So now you're going to foot the bill because we have to right these historical wrongs.
00:20:33.000People will say that we're dividing or being racist by addressing the reality.
00:20:36.000The left wants to divide and conquer by lying about the world.
00:20:40.000They're fracturing this country by telling young white people that they should pay for the crimes of others, really by the original sin of their white skin.
00:20:53.000And he's lying about how the prisons work.
00:20:56.000He says, oh, we just, we just, our instinct is to throw them in a cage and throw away the key.
00:22:17.000You mean it's survival, the people who, we just showed you the montage yesterday, threatening to beat shopkeepers up over the snap benefits lapsing right now during the shutdown.
00:22:28.000Yeah, because that shopkeeper, that local grocer, that bodega owner, they should pay for the fact that this person has been not gainfully employed for 10 years and thinks that they shouldn't pay for their Fanta.
00:22:40.000They also want freedom for all incarcerated people.
00:22:43.000You know, for people who say things are really nuanced.
00:24:50.000So you kind of want to return to the wild west.
00:24:52.000Like you're going to have a bunch of white guys out there with guns protecting their families and other black guys, Hispanic guys, everybody.
00:24:58.000And they're not going to be too concerned about Miranda rights or getting it right.
00:25:01.000They're going to be concerned about making sure a threat is stopped.
00:25:06.000I mean, more realistically, you're going to see things like a white guy walking through the wrong neighborhood and then the call to prayer is played because nobody's stopping that.
00:25:13.000And you don't stop, so you get beat up.
00:25:43.000Because that's kind of what we see now only in some kind of a controlled or organized fashion where you have armed police to ensure that you don't just have lawless citizens with the most amount of might.
00:25:53.000Keep in mind, too, this is very important because this is top-down.
00:25:57.000This is not just someone has an opinion.
00:27:00.000I think someone should be behind bars.
00:27:02.000I think lock them up, throw away the key if they kill somebody.
00:27:06.000I actually think they should be executed, right?
00:27:08.000I think if you try to steal someone's car and then they try to stop you and then you beat the crap out of them, maybe you should get more than probation.
00:28:12.000In Mamdani's New York, this is on the way.
00:28:14.000And I saw Governor DeSantis of Florida basically said we have a $5,000 recruitment bonus for cops who don't want to serve under Momdani to move down to Florida and serve down here.
00:28:47.000Well, at that point, you have to give them Coca-Cola on Snap because if you don't, well, then you have no police to control them when they just take it and do what they want stores and bring their cousin to the U.S. Oh, hey, really quick.
00:28:59.000I forgot to tell you guys, you know how people take super chats like strippers?
00:30:03.000By the way, I love that we just, I don't know if maybe this is me just coming to this conclusion, but like strippers were basically the first reverse super chats.
00:31:29.000You can take one of those watch and reacts that we have with the Fat Pride models, give it a week, and they look like, what's her name from Modern Family?
00:31:44.000I'm sure somewhere down the line, we can always bring it back to that.
00:31:49.000So this is fun because the shutdown before this happened, everyone was saying, okay, what kind of effect is this going to have on the midterms, right?
00:31:56.000Was this political suicide for the Republicans?
00:31:58.000And really, it was a game of not just chicken, but who's going to receive the blame?
00:32:03.000And I will tell you, it's actually surprising even to me, but it's really surprising to Harry Enton at CNN.
00:32:12.000Day 29 of the government shutdown, some new polls.
00:32:16.000I can't believe we didn't have a stinger before.
00:33:16.000You might think, given that the Republicans are in charge of both the House and the Senate, that a government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand.
00:34:45.000We've got a situation here where Republicans with the shutdown are actually rallying their faith, but it's also something that's not hurting them with the folks in the middle.
00:34:52.000Anything that's helping them with folks in the middle.
00:35:28.000Democrats are ahead, but they're actually only up three points.
00:35:31.000This is, in fact, the worst position Democrats have been on in a generic ballot at this point in midterm when there was a Republican president in the last 20 years.
00:35:38.000And this is no different from pre-shutdown.
00:35:40.000So Republicans aren't losing on this metric either.
00:36:54.000It doesn't help Democrats at all that they look really stupid and they look like they're playing political football when they're asked about the government shutdown.
00:37:24.000And you reopen the government and we lose our leverage.
00:37:27.000What we're doing is saying simply we want to keep the government open and we want to work with the Republicans to have a bipartisan agreement to keep this government open and health care is at the top of our agenda.
00:37:41.000But are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?
00:38:46.000Like the Democrats have really, really had to screw up to get the American Federation of Government Employees calling upon the Democrats to reopen the government.
00:38:57.000Like these are federal employees who should be in their pocket, and they're placing the blame on Democrats.
00:39:03.000Democrats themselves, I don't know how this happens.
00:39:46.000The Democrats are actually being blamed when you look at the data for the lapse in SNAP benefits.
00:39:52.000What that means is that even though Democrats are the big government party, the American public just believe that they're completely inept at running government.
00:40:02.000That's a really good thing because then you can segue into, okay, so the party that wants humongous government has proven to you that they can't run it.
00:40:16.000Like, Republicans historically have not done very well with government shutdowns.
00:40:19.000I don't know if you remember, but every single time in the last, I don't know, 10, 15 years that there's been a government shutdown, Republicans, no matter what, seem to get the blame and they would walk right into it.
00:40:28.000And it's only natural because they believe in limited government, so it would make sense for people to blame them.
00:40:33.000This time, it's like the more Donald Trump seems not to care about this and not address it at the very least.
00:40:39.000Cares about some of the issues caused by it, obviously.
00:40:42.000But the more that we're just like sticking to our guns, the more it seems like they're becoming more popular, even though Snap McGedden is on, what, Saturday?
00:43:42.000If you were just to throw a pin on the list of names collecting these benefits, throw a dart, you would most likely end up with someone who could work but chooses not to, who is fully able-bodied but claims they are disabled, who is obese and it's their own fault and they still want you to pay for their snap, their EBT.
00:44:09.000And you even see it now with this next topic, Bill Gates.
00:44:13.000He is now aligning himself with what people like me, and I'm not the only one, I've had guests going back to 2011 on this, what we have been saying for a very long time.
00:44:23.000He's walking back his climate change prescriptions, not descriptions, his prescriptions, which were zero emissions.
00:44:42.000And I would say, you know what, actually, this is going to hurt people.
00:44:44.000And it's probably going to be worse for the environment because you're going to keep these other third world countries thrust into poverty with these policies.
00:44:54.000Here's him referring to himself in the third person as a legendary philanthropist.
00:44:59.000Potek Mogul and philanthropist Bill Gates says resources used to fight climate change should be shifted away from that issue and used to combat other major global problems.
00:45:12.000It's a stunning claim given the current state of the climate crisis.
00:45:16.000The other big story, Bill Gates, a legendary philanthropist in the climate space, of course, in the global health space, putting out a 5,000-page memo basically extolling his fellow billionaire class and investors to focus less on the existential threat of climate change and more on poverty and global health.
00:45:37.000I thought that was Bill Gates referring to himself as legendary.
00:45:39.000It looked like the B-roll clip of Bill Gates looked like it matched the voice for a second.
00:45:44.000It fooled me too, but it's not Bill Gates referring to himself.
00:45:46.000Okay, can you play that part again, just the Bill Gates part?
00:45:48.000Because it looks like he's saying Bill Gates, legendary philanthropist.
00:47:54.000And then in 2020, he even said, we need to act with the same urgency that we have for COVID-19 on climate change.
00:48:01.000It's funny that he talks about migration due to climate change because that brings us to now.
00:48:07.000Well, Bill Gates says, we'll probably be fine.
00:48:12.000He says, like, yeah, climate change is like, it's a real problem, but it's not going to be the end of civilization, like I said for years.
00:48:18.000He says, although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries, what you mean is your proposed policy, it will not lead to humanity's demise.
00:48:27.000People will be able to live and thrive in most places on earth for the foreseeable future.
00:48:33.000Oh, glad we dodged that bullet after billions of dollars spent on your propaganda bullshit.
00:50:03.000Okay, that brings us to now, where Bill Gates says that actually temperature emissions are really not the most important way to measure climate progress.
00:50:09.000He said, this is a chance to refocus on the metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change.
00:51:16.000Bill Gates called for, and you can admonish me because I said hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars, really, to be spent on zero emissions.
00:51:24.000The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, right, it cited the famous McKinsey report, which states that capital spending in the net zero transition between 2021 and 2050 would amount to $275 trillion.
00:52:57.000And as they get wealthier, they'll use more energy and they'll use more energy as they get wealthier.
00:53:00.000And we also need to cut energy use basically down to, because energy use equates to some kind of emissions, unless it's nuclear energy, zero.
00:53:31.000I'm going to have the next pitch ball right past the flight.
00:53:34.000We're going to win the game, I guarantee you.
00:53:38.000Hey, maybe the Mexican government could have given those children the 60-plus million that they actually spent on this conference.
00:53:46.000No, that's just crazy talk and wouldn't make headlines.
00:53:50.000But of course, that in a nutshell is how going green affects third world countries.
00:53:55.000They won't have the chance to pull themselves out of poverty as we have here in the new world.
00:53:59.000And with fewer and fewer countries being exempt from emission standards, it's going to become increasingly difficult.
00:54:05.000But see, the environmentalism movement today is pro-Mother Earth, and human life is often seen as nothing more than a byproduct or a nuisance.
00:54:14.000Who's most affected by the Green New Deal?
00:54:17.000Who's most affected by the Coda Protocol, which would skyrocket energy costs, which for us is mildly inconvenient because you drive a crossover?
00:54:23.000But for someone in Zambia, or honestly, you don't have to go that far.
00:54:26.000For someone in Mexico, if you can wander out of your Cancun Booze Cruise resort, they work all week just to get enough fuel so they can heat a can of beans on an old ironing board in a drum.
00:54:38.000Who do you think is most affected by your green policy?
00:54:42.000It kills people in the third world who make $2 a month.
00:54:46.000So they don't really care about the most vulnerable among us.
00:54:48.000Based on the premise of climate change, the reason for these heat waves, a false claim, you have the left advocating reducing or outright getting rid of air conditioning, right?
00:54:58.000And when you understand that that kills people to the tune of thousands, many, many, many thousands in the first world, then you understand how many people die in the third world that we aren't necessarily even able to quantify because those records are not kept.
00:56:45.000If Bill Gates had his way, all the while I was expressing the view that he now espouses, if he had had his way, it would have destroyed the world.
00:56:55.000It would have entirely destroyed the world and thrust us into darkness.
00:57:01.000Yeah, this has been an evil, this has been a truly evil thing since the beginning because developing countries need cheap energy to get going and then they develop better ways to get energy, cleaner ways.
00:57:11.000And that's how you build their economies.
00:57:13.000Except we've shut that valve off for all these developing countries that he claims to care so much about.
00:58:21.000I'm a denier that the international policy that is proposed, which would cripple economies and destroy modern humanity's way of life, I'm anti that they would even be able to solve the problem of a temperature rise of 1.6 degrees.
00:58:35.000I don't think it would make any discernible difference.
00:58:38.000And so I'm not willing to kill tens of millions of people through this policy.
00:58:43.000I think it could be an intersect of money.
00:58:45.000And he also sees the writing on the wall, the polls where people are like, yeah, okay, climate change, but we certainly shouldn't actually abandon.
01:02:35.000On behalf of our country, I want to just let you know anytime you have any question, any doubt, anything you want, any favors you need, you can do to help Japan.
