In this episode of the podcast, the boys are joined by their good friend and former co-worker, Alex Blumberg, who talks about how he almost got run over in the parking lot of a Bennigan's, how he got into trouble with the law, and why he thinks the Trump administration is the best in the country.
00:04:01.000I don't just mean women's rights and abortion, whatever it is, RBG. I'm talking about the fundamental changing of male-female dynamics and the roles of family, the roles of fathers and of mothers.
00:04:13.000By the way, it has shortchanged everyone.
00:04:53.000Do you think love conquers all the feeling?
00:04:56.000And does that mean that just empathy and compassion, and not just that, empathy and compassion exclusively for the one person before you who is requesting it?
00:09:08.000The more I see this, I'm hoping that the whole cancel, all this stuff is just going away.
00:09:12.000It's just the left is going into hyperdrive, and unfortunately you have so many grifters on the right right now, which we know, dealing with behind the scenes, you're just like, ugh, ugh, alright.
00:10:32.000But the subtext here is this is also, and allow me to make the case, this is a byproduct of feminism and our current view on relationships.
00:10:41.000And I would argue, even though I'm not saying this is the way it should be, but...
00:10:45.000The idea that women are married off and the property of the husband is still more healthy than the idea that it's about a feeling and love conquers all.
00:10:56.000And he should accept you the way you are.
00:10:59.000That's one of the biggest lies that's ever been told.
00:11:01.000If he loves you, he won't want to change a thing.
00:12:40.000Mary-Kate went home early from school.
00:12:43.000Because I guess she, like, finished her exams early and went to go watch Evan's little sister in her basketball game and went with the dad.
00:12:51.000They went to, like, dinner and drinks, and he was, like, buying her drinks and stuff, and then they, like, got with each other or something.
00:13:29.000They went to, like, dinner and drinks and was, like, buying her drinks and stuff and then, like, got with each other or something.
00:13:34.000And then that was, like, the first time.
00:13:37.000And then I don't know how Evan, the boyfriend, found out, but I know he did.
00:13:41.000And then he was, like, super upset about it.
00:13:43.000And then, like, Marky K, like, told him she'll never do it again because she's such a effing, like, liar.
00:13:50.000And as far as we know, it does seem to have been confirmed, allegedly, that the boyfriend has stayed with her.
00:13:58.000And this, look, this kind of thing would be largely unheard of, but we do have an entire, you talk about toxic masculinity, feminism, you have an entire generation of young men with no self-respect.
00:14:09.000When you tell men for this amount of time that there's nothing respectable about masculinity, guess what?
00:14:15.000You have, unfortunately, some young men who, my God, believe it, stayed with her?
00:14:55.000There should be no love song about this.
00:14:59.000Just like there shouldn't be any breakup song about carving your name into leather seats, that's disrespect.
00:15:05.000Just like there shouldn't be someone who's the biggest pop star in the world because she's exclusively dated A-list celebrities, which I'm sure all sprouted from genuine love for each other and then wrote a song about how they broke up.
00:15:18.000We are training an entire generation of people how to break up.
00:15:22.000How to cheat and how to have no self-respect as a young man.
00:15:28.000Love does not conquer all, especially just the feeling of love.
00:15:58.000And this is an extreme example, but you have all kinds of examples out there of, yep, with women too, but how often do you see men with that look on their face like, Tell me.
00:16:08.000It's nothing but disrespect and caustic.
00:16:12.000You're asking an entire generation of men to check their privilege and to sit down and shut up.
00:16:17.000You had a bunch of men put tape over their mouths saying, I don't have a right to speak.
00:16:51.000The dad, by the way, allegedly is a private banker at Comerica, deleted the LinkedIn profile, and this Mary Kate meme coin is in circulation, so the internet is going to internet.
00:18:24.000Is the latest restaurant change to slap a surcharge on eggs.
00:18:29.000It will now cost you more to enjoy a plate of eggs at Denny's, the restaurant chain announcing temporary surcharges to meals that have eggs in them.
00:18:37.000The South Carolina-based company says that the extra charge will depend on the market and the location of the restaurant.
00:18:44.000And Denny's says that it made this decision because of the egg shortage and increase in prices caused by bird flu.
00:18:51.000Some others who unsuccessfully tried putting a surcharge on their eggs included grocery stores, Waffle House, and Ashley St. Clair.
00:21:47.000I mean, you know, okay, fine, we did that, but President Trump.
00:21:50.000There have been a lot of wins here this week, and he really is just sort of flooding the market right now.
00:21:55.000I didn't expect this to happen so rapidly.
00:21:58.000Remember, that was one of the most common questions we would get right here on chat, for those who are Muckler members and now Rumble Premium, would be, how much do you think a president can actually affect?
00:22:08.000And the answer I would give back then is, well, if he actually appoints the right people, has a good cabinet, has good advisors.
00:22:15.000Now, some of that can be undone if it's executive order.
00:22:18.000It's a lot harder to undo it when you've actually stripped down the beast, when you're talking about cutting out a lot of the funding.
00:22:26.000But that's not the only category of wins that we've seen.
00:22:28.000We've also seen wins as far as international policy, which is, if you guys don't remember, in 2015, the main criticism of Donald Trump was, what's he going to do with international policy?
00:23:25.000And I also think this is where Donald Trump, President Trump, got his 300-something billion number in his Truth Social post.
00:23:32.000Because now you understand a little bit.
00:23:34.000He'll make this mistake every now and then of sort of discussing something in public, assuming it's a given, but it hasn't happened yet.
00:23:42.000So, for example, maybe we've only pledged $100-something billion to Ukraine, but he knows what it is that we're discussing regarding the future as far as building up arms or mineral contracts.
00:23:52.000So you'll hear him discuss that here, and I say, oh, okay, that makes sense.
00:23:57.000He could have just changed two words, and it would have been a non-issue.
00:24:38.000What does Ukraine get in return, Mr. President?
00:24:42.000$350 billion and lots of equipment and military equipment and the right to fight on and originally the right to fight.
00:24:51.000Look, Ukraine, I will say they're very brave and they're good soldiers, but without the United States and its money and its military equipment, this war would have been over in a very short period of time.
00:25:03.000I'd like to buy minerals on Russian land, too.
00:26:02.000And it's designed to reinvest some of the revenues into Ukraine.
00:26:04.000So it ends up being something that actually benefits them, certainly benefits the United States.
00:26:09.000When the left was saying he's going to leave them in the lurch, hey, let me ask you this.
00:26:12.000If you're Zelensky, okay, if you are Ukraine and you were in the situation, well, not were, you still are, you find yourselves in this situation right now where the battle lines have not moved at all, the territory has not moved at all, okay, you need to find some kind of a way out of this.
00:26:33.000Or you were given an off-ramp that also allowed hundreds of billions, potentially many, potentially a trillion to hear him say, which could be exaggerating, but who knows?
00:26:41.000He's been right in the past with numbers that we thought were crazy.
00:27:14.000And also, instead of giving them money after the war to help them rebuild, how about we just go in and do something that's in our interest and theirs?
00:27:19.000Do you imagine how many jobs get created immediately when this stuff starts happening?
00:28:48.000Frankly amazed on a regular basis where I go, wow, you really, okay, all right, that's a really good way to, that's a really good way to play this.
00:29:58.000Well, the entire country, but including...
00:29:59.000In other words, we get access to all of this in Ukraine.
00:30:02.000This also means that Russia kind of has...
00:30:05.000It's that little rubber stopper at the grocery store.
00:30:08.000They both kind of have a little bit, can be argued, an interest in going, you keep that on your side of the fence and I keep this on my side of the fence because we both have a license to print money.
00:30:18.00070% of the $14 trillion or so, those mineral reserves, are in the eastern part of Ukraine.
00:30:24.000So that is some territory that's in dispute.
00:30:27.000So this may end up being the catalyst for actual peace talks because, hey, you know what?
00:30:33.000Wars are often fought over resources, over land, over gold.
00:30:36.000And in this case, you have gold in the ground, and it gives everyone an incentive to stop the killing and to start...
00:31:33.000It is fake news, and unfortunately a lot of people on the right are retweeting or reposting this where they say, ah, Donald Trump just signed a peace deal or something.
00:31:47.000It creates an incentive for people on both sides of this fence to achieve peace, and the United States gets something back for our hundreds of billions that we gave.
00:31:59.000Remember, Zelensky said, no, I don't believe, because gifts do not become debts.
00:32:03.000Well, you're going to be paying us one way or the other.
00:32:06.000The most absurd thing people thought Donald Trump ever said was, and we're going to get Mexico to pay for the wall.
00:32:12.000And everyone thought he was going to call and say, hey, Mexico, will you pay for the wall?
00:33:45.000If the rate-limiting factor is, we need X, and they don't get it, by Y time, we've just wasted tens of billions of dollars, and that's exactly what happened.
00:33:56.000For proof, see the territory lines in Ukraine and Russia.
00:34:07.000Joe Biden had these strong words with no teeth.
00:34:10.000People don't respect folks who make threats and don't make good on them.
00:34:13.000Not international leaders, not your children if you're a parent, not your spouse if you draw a line, you set a boundary, and then it's violated and you do nothing about it.
00:36:28.000And as soon as this came up, I'm going to call it, right?
00:36:32.000I called it as soon as it was announced and it's going to get worse.
00:36:35.000Donald Trump has announced now a visa.
00:36:39.000It's called the gold immigration card, right?
00:36:42.000He's announced a new visa for a price, and as soon as I heard about this, I said, watch, the left is going to say this creates a two-tiered system where only the wealthy can purchase these visas.
00:37:09.000We're going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million, and that's going to give you green card privileges plus.
00:37:16.000It's going to be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.
00:37:22.000They'll be wealthy, and they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people.
00:37:32.000you go that's just kind of a a briefing on it right away of course without understanding what it is or what it replaced or that this is something that has been long-standing but far less effective with the eb5 program the media crying about how something something something hey that's right we need to engage in class warfare you have to hate the wealthy they instead are focusing on the very And I say this as somebody whose voice can go up like an octave when I get upset.
00:38:14.000They instead are focusing on the very, very wealthy and put the whipped cream and cherry on top.
00:38:21.000Yesterday he announces that anybody who's rich anywhere in the world can come to America and not have to worry about a visa or residency because if you're rich you can come here but if you're poor and you're struggling and your family is at risk then we're going to put you in Guantanamo Bay.
00:38:53.000You come here illegally, you commit crimes, I'm fine with it going to Guantanamo Bay, and yes, I prefer rich investors to get visas here, as opposed to poor people who don't benefit the American citizen.
00:39:02.000Something you're not understanding is that wealthy investors, if they're investing in the United States, actually benefit And benefit other migrants, by the way, because they create paying jobs.
00:39:13.000Now, here's how you know the left knows that.
00:39:14.000Because they will claim the benefit of job creation when they add 78,000 new IRS employees.
00:39:35.000By the way, we have all kinds of programs that are similar to this as far as incentives and exceptions, right?
00:39:42.000Truth be told, if you are really, really wealthy, there are ways to get into this country right now because we do want those kinds of people coming here.
00:39:51.000But we have specifically a pay-to-play visa called the EB-5.
00:39:55.000Which requires applicants already to invest $800,000 to $1 million, create 10 permanent full-time jobs for Americans.
00:40:03.000This is the plan that would be replaced by Donald Trump's gold card.
00:40:08.000And there's a reason it needs to be replaced.
00:40:09.000So if you're saying, Donald Trump is creating a tiered system where he wants people who pay a certain amount to get the right-of-way, it already exists.
00:40:53.000Well, from 2008 to 2017, just kind of an anecdotal example, a smaller one, a Chinese father and a daughter, they actually, literally, illegally funneled $50 million.
00:42:13.000For $20 million, you can purchase a platinum card, which will give you instant citizenship, 50,000 miles on your American Airlines, and a coupon for you to personally execute one pedophile.
00:44:04.000A lot of you may not know about this one, but last Friday, Donald Trump signed a national security presidential memorandum to specifically counter Chinese influence, not in our elections, but something even more sinister and pervasive, Chinese influence directly in our economy.
00:44:27.000President Trump signing an executive memorandum limiting China's access to U.S. markets as part of his America First investment policy.
00:44:36.000It orders the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to block Chinese investments in sensitive sectors like technology, energy and defense.
00:44:46.000So the order specifically, we make all the references available.
00:44:49.000I think we were pulling this from the White House directly, their website.
00:44:52.000It actually bans China from purchasing.
00:44:55.000Farmland, which we have been advocating for for a very long time here.
00:45:01.000China owns 350,000 acres of American farmland, which some would argue is troubling considering that they are a foreign adversary and communist.
00:45:14.000When people say, you know, the Founding Fathers would have wanted...
00:45:16.000You think the Founding Fathers, if they could understand a country like China existing in the modern world...
00:46:57.000The small-scale version of that that you see as an American company creates something that gets copied to a much lower quality, and then Amazon is flooded with 50 different companies that sell the exact same thing, and there's no incentive for American companies to innovate or create when they can just be ripped off.
00:47:24.000Essentially, you had a company over there get those chips.
00:47:25.000They did it through a company in Singapore.
00:47:27.000Then they go and tell the world, hey, we figured out a way to do this without having these really expensive chips from this very powerful American company.
00:47:38.000And this is the contrast, right, of fake empathy.
00:47:42.000The left, you know, when they try to defend woke and say empathy, the John Cena's of the world, the LeBron James' of the world, the Chinese people, oh, they're great, you know, the people who still use Little Red Book out there, and so China, it's fantastic.
00:47:53.000We don't want to harm them versus America First, which is, hold on a second, this is a foreign communist adversary, and we're not going to allow them to get a leg up.
00:48:01.000The only way China gets a leg up is if we give it to them, and we have.
00:48:08.000President Trump is also, at least he's sort of, Throwing around the idea of barring Chinese investments specifically into pension funds or universities.
00:48:18.000Pension funds should be obvious because of the instability that they could create if their primary investors sell.
00:48:38.000That should be a zero-dollar investment.
00:48:39.000They should have zero farmland, and they should have zero dollars of investing in our university, which, by the way, still isn't anywhere close to Qatar, which always kind of dumbfounds me.
00:50:15.000Because you're jailing people for reading the Bible.
00:50:19.000And you're a communist nation who disappears journalists you don't like and disappears dissidents you don't like.
00:50:26.000And we're not actually going to allow you to come into the new world until you start sharing the values that created the new world, modern Christendom.
00:51:03.000And it's not lost on me that capitalism, unfortunately, relies in many ways on slave labor in other countries, but that's why we need to restructure this.
00:51:11.000And if you change all of it, guess what?
00:51:14.000We have the ability to build an economy that is for Americans and more fair to the rest of the world.
00:51:22.000By the way, as far as China and their threat in...
00:51:27.000Well, I guess in the capacity that they purchase farmland.
00:51:29.000We've documented that really quite extensively.
00:51:31.000We did a video on Chinese-owned marijuana grow farms, and it almost feels like a serial killer with all the red yarn and showed you all the connections and the banks and the NGOs.
00:51:43.000If you haven't watched it, you can click.
00:51:45.000I believe there'll be a box right here if you're on YouTube or Rumble or link in the description.
00:51:54.000kind of spine-tinglingly scary when you know what's at stake.
00:51:57.000What you're about to see is a true story of how international organized crime, connected to one of the most powerful governments in the world, that's foreshadowing, has taken over Middle America, and how it threatens to do the same across the entire United States.
00:52:15.000We're just very curious to know about your relationship or Mama Ma's relationship with Quantic Bank because they're also part of this investigation and we're finding that they have a relationship with Mama Ma and the marijuana industry.
00:52:28.000it seems like there's a lot of connection going on here.
00:52:31.000Also, you know, really gross, just an aside, that a lot of the meat, a lot of the beef that you get at the store.
00:54:12.000He's basically showing, like, these governments could have been spending money on their own defense right now.
00:54:16.000No, I'm not in the pocket of Putin, but I am a businessman and I understand how to make a deal and make sure that somebody can save face in public while I let the other guy who's been going on world tours talking with every single politician know I'm not necessarily fond of him right now.
00:54:36.000We can get other countries to foot the bill and still be their partners and still have their back, and we can negotiate a peace deal and get these guys to stop killing each other.
00:54:43.000The previous administration said, no, no, no, we just want to prop people up.
00:54:47.000We just want to continue the status quo.
00:54:48.000We want to be the cool kids over here, and we want government to grow so that you don't see that our economy isn't doing very well.
00:54:54.000Donald Trump is completely ripping the Band-Aid off of all this stuff all at the same time, and he's doing it really well so far.
00:55:00.000And he stood his ground, too, while the mainstream media follows false leads.
00:56:01.000In many ways, for what people used to refer to as the military-industrial complex, people who profit off of never-ending billions of dollars in blank checks for arms, supplies.
00:56:32.000It's good for the potentially, or would be, American students.
00:56:36.000And something else, when you're talking about this whole virtue signaling false empathy, you know, it actually is good for the dissidents in China.
00:56:47.000The people who actually want some freedom.
00:56:49.000The people who actually hope that at some point, maybe in their lifetime, there can be a toppling of a communist, arguably genocidal government.
00:56:58.000So look at who it's bad for and look at who it's good for.
00:57:02.000But let's stop living in this world of empathy above all else and empathy specifically for the one person in front of you.
00:57:11.000Because there are other people out there who need a little bit of empathy.
00:57:15.000And I would say this, if you're wondering who, start, if you're president, if you're a public servant, Start with the people you claim to represent.
