Trump is building a new ballroom in the White House, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, a fire drill, a bowling alley, and Reddit r/theretards. Also, we talk about how the next president should pay taxes.
00:01:27.000Were they there were a few that said like this clearly means he wouldn't be building a ballroom if he planned on leaving in the next three years?
00:03:50.000These are all really good questions that we didn't set this segment up to be able to answer because we're focusing on the retards of Reddit.
00:03:56.000So this one is from Mr. Frankie Hankey.
00:04:00.000The next president should be billing Trump.
00:04:28.000If he's if you know if he's being honest and it really Is donated.
00:04:30.000I mean, if you're gonna make like you should be like the Jews or Qatar or you know, anybody else that wants to have some kind of an influential position with the White House because they're giving money to do just blame somebody else.
00:04:42.000It's not the taxpayer, you moron anyway.
00:04:44.000I can't wait for the first democratic president to hold some kind of event in that banquet hall.
00:06:47.000Next you're gonna tell me that uh, you know, a homeless man had the idea and sketched the ballroom and gave it to the president, and that's how it got built.
00:09:24.000I didn't want it to be paid for by taxpayer money.
00:09:27.000It's not it's not, so I I don't see the problem in it.
00:09:30.000Just full disclosure on who pays for it and you know what access they have.
00:09:33.000There might be an argument to be made about uh you know demolishing part of a you know historic building that's you know a big part of our history.
00:09:49.000Let's take some chats really quickly and and and see what everybody I I don't know why this is a big deal.
00:09:53.000He when he first announced it, he made the point of like it's a shame that people come to our country, they come to the White House and they don't have this great banquet hall.
00:09:59.000I'm like, I don't know if that's necessary, but that's a good point.
00:10:03.000Say, tell me somebody tell me uh in research or in chat if you guys know, like how many people the old ballroom can hold or the the current, I don't even know if it's current.
00:10:31.000Do you think that fine fellow asks question?
00:10:34.000Will newer generations in the West fully realize the empirical errors of unfettered compassion in time, or will the left try and finish destroying it before it can be fixed.
00:10:44.000Listen, that is a that is a very compelling argument.
00:10:48.000When you push on the compassion button for people, um it that very few people are ready to have this kind of difficult conversation.
00:11:00.000No matter what side you come down on, one side is going to get screwed to a degree because of the positions of both sides.
00:11:07.000Either they're gonna go in and clean out Hamas and you have to let that thing happen so that they can do it, and there's a lot of collateral damage, and obviously people are frustrated about that.
00:11:17.000Um or you can just let an entity stay there that is entirely based on destroying you.
00:11:24.000And so that's what we have in the United States.
00:11:26.000When you allow people to come into this country that have no interest in preserving the culture and becoming a part of the culture of this country, essentially they are looking to replace what you have and what you love and what you cherish with something else.
00:11:41.000So they're effectively destroying your culture.
00:11:43.000Now that's not everybody that's coming in, but a large majority of the people that come in have no desire to be a part of what makes America great.
00:13:39.000So now the new ballroom will hold uh just shy of a thousand.
00:13:42.000Yeah, and I I think it's I think it's helpful because you know 200's not a lot when you're it was it was the largest uh room at the White House as well.
00:14:46.000If I ever, God forbid, had to leave this country, like for some unforeseen incident happened and I had to go and take my family and we had to go and start a life somewhere else.
00:14:55.000I would never dream of going to another country and not learning the language and not trying to assimilate into the culture of that country.
00:15:03.000I would never dream of going there and saying you have to do everything my way.
00:15:08.000Expecting I I expect you to just figure out what I'm like, I have to learn their language, otherwise, how will I communicate?
00:15:15.000But they call us the most entitled culture in the world, America.
00:15:18.000Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
00:15:19.000And so listen, I think it's it's fine to have you know for church groups.
00:15:23.000I mean, obviously, if you're trying to reach out to the Hispanic community in the area, speaking their language, having service in their language.
00:16:11.000Because if that's the case, maybe there is a you know a case we made that if you're providing services, then maybe you should put some emails in Spanish.
00:16:17.000But if it's not a Spanish service church, uh you know, I don't think you have to cater to these people.
00:16:22.000Maybe you can put a meet uh a message at the top of the email in Spanish that says, hey, translate.
00:17:01.000Next chat from Errol E. Question for the crew.
00:17:04.000How do people not see an invasion and the threat of the Muslim molesters in the U.S. as a threat to our country?
00:17:10.000Is there an answer other than Walther?
00:17:12.000Well listen, uh that's that's a legitimate question.
00:17:19.000Um a lot of our uh time and energy has been focused in other places, and uh that is that is one of those that we have to come back to.
00:17:27.000Islam is it's anti antithetical to everything that we hold dear in the United States.
00:17:34.000And it does not does not support Western culture.
00:17:38.000Um and we've talked to you guys about this.
00:17:40.000This is something that uh I think has just it's gotten kind of quiet.
00:17:44.000We talked about it on the Zoran Mamdani uh deal where we had um one of his uh you know, one of the one of the lead people will say, I think this person changed, I can't remember the guy's Aqlay, right?
00:17:56.000Uh Canvas director, I believe, or something like that.
00:17:58.000Like he changed his title multiple Times.
00:18:02.000And then it just, you know, poof, it's disappeared after all this the story came out.
00:18:06.000But it I think people underestimate this.
00:18:09.000And I saw somebody saying, oh, now they're going back to the tired trope of it's Islam and they're trying to distract us from Israel and all this stuff.
00:18:21.000I mean, the people making these claims that like every single thing in Israel, the only reason that I talk about it is because I want to disabuse people of these fake stories out here, these fake tales that they're spinning about Israel.
00:18:34.000Not to support Israel, but to support truth so that you can make informed decisions and be pissed off when you should be pissed off and happy when you should be happy on the actions of a foreign country.
00:18:57.000I I can't remember when I saw this video, um, but I think it was somewhere around 2008.
00:19:01.000They were talking about Islam basically had decided that since going and fighting these countries and bombing them and doing a lot of the stuff we saw in the 80s, 90s, you know, early early 2000, uh, we saw these things happening.
00:19:15.000And we thought, like, okay, we're gonna go fight Islam.
00:19:52.000Is it somebody, you know, another culture coming in and we're learning from one another, and I'm I'm getting exposed to their culture, they're getting exposed to mine.
00:19:58.000But they're they've moved to this country, they tried to come here, they're becoming American and and everything's great, right?
00:20:03.000That's what I experienced in the 80s and 90s.
00:20:07.000Now it's like, well, they're coming over here, they have zero interest in my culture, really.
00:20:11.000They just want to come and partake in everything that makes America great and not necessarily really contribute to that culture.
00:20:18.000Is that the same experience that we're having?
00:20:21.000And what should my response be to that?
00:20:22.000Especially if it turns out that if I do that to the level that they want to, it actually would destroy this country either financially or culturally or morally, if it's non-Christian people coming over here trying to change us into a caliphate.
00:20:58.000If the certain immigrants that come here who not only don't want to assimilate but actually destroy our culture, how do we combat that or get rid of them if they're here legally?
00:21:07.000I think I just talked about that, but I think um, you know, Josh, you've experienced the Islamic culture firsthand.
00:21:15.000I mean, what are you what are your thoughts about the cultural side of this?
00:21:18.000Like just you know, pure unvarnished, whatever it is.
00:21:22.000Well, I mean, you know, it's it's complicated because we do have uh a set of laws here, and we do have this idea of uh the American dream and stuff, and you know, not everyone, not everyone, not everyone.
00:21:33.000Uh so you take all that stuff into account.
00:21:44.000Um there's the one that I'm familiar with, which is uh, you know, it's more of a rural, uh, the Afghan uh brand of Islam, which is a lot different than the Iraq brand of Islam or the Saudi Arabian brand of Islam, or somebody who's been here for three generations brand of Islam.
00:22:01.000So it there's there's different brands of it for sure.
00:22:05.000Um I do know the one that I know is it's very backwards.
00:22:09.000Um and it's not one that meshes well with uh America.
00:22:14.000People call America the melting pot, and you know, it that's what it's supposed to be.
00:22:17.000People misunderstand that word melting pot.
00:22:19.000Like you come in and we we mix all these cultures together.
00:22:22.000You don't just mix all your cultures together and then still have your own thing.
00:22:26.000You know, you have your own soup brewing in the corner of the pot.
00:22:30.000No, no, they go it comes together and you you become we're we're chicken soup.
00:22:34.000You come here, you become chicken soup.
00:22:36.000You don't get to be a halal corner of the pot.
00:22:46.000Um but uh yeah, I think that there should, you know, I don't we I I don't think that banning banning migration or uh legal immigration from certain religions is ethical or or or constitutional, but uh maybe if there's a way to you know I don't know what the checks are.
00:23:07.000I love how you chains move when you're I mean I think if there's a lot There's gotta be some checks and balances here with with you know with people coming in, and we have to make sure that their culture does align somewhat with America.
00:23:18.000It doesn't have to, I don't think it has to be perfect, doesn't have to be the exact uh American dream.
00:23:22.000They don't have to look like you know uh Gerald here.
00:23:26.000They you know, but uh there should definitely be some disqualifiers.
00:23:54.000No, I think that's what we're dealing with right now with so many people here.
00:24:00.000Well, you have to don't even I mean, yes, and I think that's a a good way to look at it, but when when you're at war, what are you doing?
00:24:07.000I mean, you theoretically you could be trying to liberate people.
00:24:10.000A lot of sitting around being well, sorry.
00:24:13.000It's a lot of throwing rocks as a country when you're at war, mentally, what are you doing?
00:24:19.000You're either trying to fight against an enemy that's trying to take you out, trying to, you know, take over whatever, or you're trying to liberate something.
00:24:26.000So that's essentially what we're doing here.
00:25:47.000Uh because one time we were on an uh we were on a mission and he was talking about coming to this coming to America, and he's like, I can't wait to go to America.
00:26:03.000Your kids can just go fucking run around the neighborhood and they can go have boyfriends and do whatever they want to do, and they don't have to worry about asking permission.
00:26:55.000He's in the States now, he's allowed to be here, left his family to uh I don't know, deal with the Taliban because their father and husband was uh an operative of the United States military.
00:27:14.000And that that yeah, sure, that's anecdotal, but there's there's a lot of at least 10 guys watching this right now who have similar stories with interpreters in Afghanistan.
00:28:08.000You don't get to determine what the people who are actually contributing to this society, like what they get to spend their money on, or what the government spends their money on.
00:28:17.000You're just always gonna vote for it to be given out.
00:30:06.000I only asked that bankruptcy question because it, you know, it does because that does, you know, give you a legal uh a legal way out of your debt if you were to come back later.
00:30:27.000Uh but uh yeah, I think I think if there's a way for them to be legally not obligated to pay it, then that's different than you know, writing it off as some kind of uh uh I mean chase Chase could come after them once they come back in legally.
00:30:40.000Hey, uh remember that $30,000 in debt you owe us.
00:30:43.000Uh yeah, you're gonna have to pay that.
00:30:44.000I just don't want to I just don't want the the federal government or the Fed to bail them out.
00:30:48.000I was about to say also coupled with no bailouts whatsoever for the option of forcing the the the country of origin to pay that, but then you risk that country no longer wanting to play ball if you have you know no other cards to play for that.
00:31:05.000We'll just fly over their airspace and push the people out with parachutes.
00:31:09.000Well, I mean, they'll take the they'll take the people.
00:31:11.000I'm I'm saying they they might not want to play ball in other you know, other facets of life if if you're sitting there sticking them with a bill with uh let's just I think the banks are the the culprits here, whoever did that.
00:31:22.000And didn't did Tim Walls just the other day sign a bill that everybody gets a driver's license or a license state issued idea?
00:31:27.000No, it wasn't the other day, it was a while ago.
00:31:29.000He he did do the I know he proposed it.
00:31:31.000Well, there's a here's a here's what happened.
00:31:35.000Everyone in Minnesota can get a driver's license even if you're not a uh citizen.
00:31:40.000Now the the hard thing is when you register to vote you use your driver's license and there's no there's only a question that asks you if you're a legal citizen.
00:31:52.000Yeah there's the only thing that's preventing somebody who's illegal who has a driver's license legally as an illegal resident is honesty.
00:32:01.000Ah that's it's I know what you're talking about because they there was a there was a hearing maybe like a sign of some sort that was in yeah something was was being talked about and on the floor in Minnesota and somebody of authority some lady of authority or some guy of authority didn't have to like through a series of questions had to admit that yes it is technically possible for a legal uh residents to vote.
00:33:54.000If it's a federal election, you can have your, own state election roll rules and laws but if it's a federal election I think that it should be federally mandated that you have to prove US citizenship.
00:34:03.000Well I think Congress does need to act on this there's several bills that have been proposed or you know come to I just you need a passport in order to vote.
00:34:14.000Proven I would say I would take uh I would take a birth certificate or you know social security card or whatever the heck but uh they have fake they that's how they got their credit from Chase sure but it makes it that but it's a lot harder than getting a state is a lot harder than going it's very hard to get a passport.
00:34:32.000Something to be able to vote in this country that means you're a citizen until then you get zero electoral votes from your state.
00:34:38.000Next chat all right well uh speaking of non-U.S citizens Pedro the Mexican 15 got back to us oh good hey Pedro I am British don't even know what a Mexican is has been exposed let the truth set you free Pedro would still be Mexican could be a Mexican British I asked him if he was mixed Mexican and he said I am British.
00:35:02.000Well then you say he was for shut up Tim the screen name says Pedro the Mexican not the Brit If he was a Mexican British when he eats his beans and toast for the for breakfast it would be good beans.
00:35:17.000It'd be like it'd be really good beans it would be good yeah some refried beans I don't think there's much good Mexican food going on in England.
00:35:24.000Nah maybe maybe like little pockets but then again there's no place to get good mushy peas in Dallas I'm just crapping all over British food I'm sorry.
00:35:38.000Hey we we love our British fans you guys ought to fight for some free speech.
00:35:44.000Help me make the name make sense Pedro the Mexican Mexico how about we call him every single time we pick we're gonna call him Pedro the Brit 15 lies Pedro the Mexican sounds better though.
00:35:56.000It does it does next chat all right next chat From Damo Knight.
00:36:02.000Do you think there's a point where the left, like an addict, hits rock bottom and realizes how far gone they are and actually starts to work on turning things around?
00:37:07.000Yeah, I can see where maybe I I kind of adjust my position a little bit.
00:37:11.000I try to make sure that it lines up with the facts of the situation, and I make sure that okay, I'm not I'm not just being unreasonable.
00:37:17.000Okay, this this is a good path forward.
00:37:20.000But people on the left, and I again I'm speaking of leadership because individuals are very difficult, like they're it's not a monolith, but like the leadership on the left just seems bent on power and control.
00:37:29.000And I understand that there's uh an element to that for everybody who's in politics, of course.
00:37:54.000So no, I don't think they'll ever hit rock bottom and kind of change and do anything like that.
00:37:57.000I think ultimately what you're gonna have to do is make them irrelevant.
00:38:02.000So if you want to hold kind of more liberal views, like you know, uh Democrat versus you know Republican views, then the only way you're gonna get elected is if it's much closer to what conservatives believe.
00:38:15.000That I think that's the only way that changes.
00:38:17.000Otherwise, it's just it's just a power grab.
00:38:19.000They're never gonna real realize that they're convinced they're right.
00:38:22.000Yeah, you said that they'll never hit rock bottom.
00:38:25.000Um I gotta tell you, like a lot of addicts, uh, they also think that they have not hit rock bottom.
00:38:31.000Even when it's like they will be on the street.
00:39:29.000He's like the whitest white guy you've ever seen that happened to go to Mexico and get drunk on a beach eating the worm from the tequila bottle.
00:42:19.000Protesting, like when they were taking away our rights and keeping us locked in.
00:42:22.000And I think like the things that were, you know, that Steven and the crew went on in Michigan.
00:42:26.000I think that makes sense, you know, like actually doing that.
00:42:28.000But like marching in support of, I don't know.
00:42:31.000I mean, I think there's some utility for it.
00:42:33.000Don't get me wrong, but if you're gonna do something, I would rather you be involved in local politics and helping change what's going on in your area, not necessarily doing like a big march or something like that.
00:42:43.000Um, you know, especially not on like maybe certain days, I don't know, like the 6th of January, any year in the near future.
00:42:50.000Um, just you know, because they they look for reasons.
00:43:20.000That's not the kind of support that I would expect to see if there was, in fact, a fascist dictator that was about to strip American citizens of their rights and send kill squads around the country.
00:43:31.000I would imagine that maybe it would be more than 10% of the people that voted for the other guy.
00:43:37.000Yeah, plus I think that another thing too is that these marches are, you know, they they're um by design, they're supposed to be for things you disagree with.
00:43:46.000Um I get it, you want to show support for something and you want to go, you want to go march about it.
00:43:50.000But think about what a march and a uh it's called a march protest.
00:44:00.000Uh now you gotta on those streets, you gotta close down the businesses.
00:44:03.000Well, people are people gotta stay open.
00:44:05.000Some people they can't be open every day.
00:44:06.000Some people work in an industry like I don't know, stand-up comedy, and sometimes they sometimes they they book a show a couple months in advance for a date that then will turn into a new king's protest.
00:44:17.000And then you got people on the streets.
00:44:18.000Luckily it worked out for me, but uh it could have easily if it wasn't Fort Worth, it could have easily been something that could have disrupted a show and cost me thousands of dollars.
