00:00:17 Oh, we are live.

00:00:19 Look who's here, you guys.

00:00:21 It's Kyle in the house.

00:00:24 That's my echo.

00:00:26 Okay, that scared me.

00:00:27 I know, echo, echo.

00:00:29 poor kyle and i were trying to like work out you guys if we get through this show today first of

00:00:34 all we will because kyle's here and he's a pro and it'll be great but oh my gosh so if you hear

00:00:40 a little bit of an echo we know we know try to ignore it if you can hear it and um we have a

00:00:47 great show planned so owen and marcella bailed on us sorry but we got kyle all to ourself

00:00:54 oh did you see kyle on x yesterday yes everyone's saying good morning good morning

00:01:01 good morning yes so kyle while they're everyone's filing in for a minute um i have a crazy person's

00:01:10 voice oh no i don't know what that means um while everybody's filing in just um i first of all love

00:01:19 that clip from Hypernia that you have, the AI clip, and now I want to see a movie. But for people

00:01:25 who have never met you before, can you just give a little background while they're filing in and

00:01:29 then we'll get to the sip? Oh, you're on mute. Kyle, you're on mute.

00:01:39 Trying to navigate this. But no, it's great. Actually, someone from here with the Scott Adams

00:01:46 crew just left a great review on my book. It's just the first in a series. It's been out for

00:01:53 about six months. It's on declining empires. And what it does is it sort of takes people through

00:02:02 sort of living in a collapsing community and just the sort of dystopian things that happen.

00:02:12 but it's kind of it takes a slow burn the second book is much more political thriller forward and

00:02:18 a lot of character development a lot of great scenarios but the first one is definitely an

00:02:23 awesome table setter for all of the things that are unfolding in this story so um so anyways that's

00:02:30 at kyle n a becker on x if you guys see it and there's like uh there should be like a trailer

00:02:34 there that sort of summarizes what's going on it's about i'm gonna play it erica talked about

00:02:39 and uh it should give you a good idea of the plot and the characters and everything moving forward

00:02:45 so people seem to really like it uh but i just need more reviews from people who are smart and

00:02:51 critical thinkers and who are fair-minded and uh i've been loving uh what people have to say about

00:02:57 oh yeah you guys definitely so get kyle's book if you haven't yet it's called hypernia and what's

00:03:03 the second one called that one's gonna be uh called the battle of the emerald sea but that's

00:03:11 uh coming for my publisher uh needs to like do all the work with that but uh it's it's about

00:03:16 finished actually so we'll see all right it should be next year all right good so you guys and then

00:03:21 later i'm gonna play the uh the the trailer i'm calling it the clip of the book which i would love

00:03:28 to see as a movie. But now that we've all had time to come in, let's get to the sip. My top

00:03:35 third is hot and frothy, and I need caffeine, and so does Stella. Here we go. It's going to be

00:03:41 rocking. Ugh, what a word, rocking. Don't let me ever say that again, okay? And to enjoy this day

00:03:50 to its maximum, all we need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen

00:03:54 jug or flask a vessel of any kind.

00:04:30 guys love his hippie hair right like his hair was so long then oh bless we miss Scott so much

00:04:36 all right so the other day Kyle so many of you know I live on the Jersey Shore it is so beautiful

00:04:42 here and if no one's ever been to new jersey and you're calling it the armpit of america

00:04:47 you are an npc i just want to let you know that right now because it is an absolutely beautiful

00:04:52 state except for maybe certain little parts but like everywhere so i was showing them

00:04:57 this beautiful jersey shore like just the waves coming in and you guys my same friend did video

00:05:03 again and look at the dolphins there are dolphins and whales everywhere right now it is glorious

00:05:11 Take a look.

00:05:41 oh i hate to even cut it off like i just love a little zen moment and the sound of waves and like

00:05:49 the mist of the water it's so healing so i hope you guys enjoyed that moment before we get into

00:05:55 the chaos oh kyle so much has been going on i tell you um yeah it's pretty wild right but uh

00:06:04 i'm plowing through it actually the more i get into like the midterm election stuff

00:06:09 the more i feel like this is just the way politics have been has been for a while

00:06:15 and you know sure the magnitude of the election victory warrants a lot of scrutiny but uh you know

00:06:23 we can get into that a little bit more in detail later but i'm just saying like i've been here

00:06:27 before i i went to work like in 2010 tea party after that election and knows and i know what it

00:06:34 takes in order to push this back. And that's what it's going to take. We're going to have to get

00:06:39 active and energized and informed. And that doesn't mean big kumbaya about it, but that's just what it

00:06:48 takes because we need to get more active. We need to get more assertive. Holding both sides

00:06:55 accountable, right? I agree. I know. It's sad to see that we lost both chambers and it's our

00:07:03 fault. And when we had it, we didn't take advantage of it as usual. So I wanted to start,

00:07:11 let me just check something here. Oh, and I wanted to tell you guys too, you guys know that I'm into

00:07:15 the whole thing with the ocean, with the whales and Orsted was coming here and putting in the

00:07:20 wind turbines. And Scott was so kind to help me and a bunch of people like Michael Schellenberg

00:07:27 and everybody else put out this news that the wind turbines, the mapping and the drilling

00:07:33 were murdering our sea life, and especially our whales. And in a two-year period, I think we had

00:07:42 over 110 whales from New York down to South. I'm not sure where the whole thing was anymore,

00:07:51 but over 100 whales washing up dead. I mean, they're absolutely majestic and glorious.

00:07:56 Well, since Trump put a stop to the mapping and the whole plan, there's only been four

00:08:05 in the last year, four whale deaths.

00:08:07 So you tell me what was causing it.

00:08:10 That's great.

00:08:11 And in Texas, we have a ton of windmills all over the place.

00:08:14 I mean, I drive out to Lubbock and I just see them all over the place.

00:08:18 And they kill bats and birds.

00:08:20 And I know you may not like bats, but they eat bugs and they are part of the ecosystem.

00:08:26 these environmentalists they don't really care they just you know apparently i think it's just

00:08:30 a grift i i don't think it's just uh giving out huge contracts to their buddies it's not really

00:08:37 about what's good for the environment for us doesn't help the grid really it's so unstable

00:08:43 and uneven and it's electricity production that actually takes a lot of work to regularize the

00:08:48 electricity production so it's just yeah it's a it's a mess and an eyesore and it disrupts the

00:08:54 environment so yeah i'm on the same page with you erica yeah i could go off on the the wind turbines

00:08:59 and the the pollution they cause the energy they take they're rusting they're breaking they fall

00:09:05 apart and they are not giving anybody energy they are causing animals and sea life to die they don't

00:09:12 know how to um they don't know how to like navigate anymore because the sounds are messing up

00:09:18 everybody's patterns on land and sea. The mating issues are all off. It's, it's a disaster. And

00:09:25 our governor, former governor of New Jersey, not that this one's any better. He actually

00:09:30 leased our ocean to a foreign country to put in these turbines. I'm like, what? So yeah,

00:09:36 it's a disaster. So thank God, like the whales are getting a break. The sea life's getting a

00:09:41 break and let's just hope we get rid of these things altogether one day. Okay. So I'll, I'm

00:09:46 going to pivot into the news. By the way, Kyle, Texas, I'm sure you could do an hour show just on

00:09:52 Texas. Yeah, I've been doing a lot of videos for them on my podcast, Becker Brief, and been digging

00:09:58 into the numbers. There is, unfortunately, a lot of misinformation about it that I've had to bet

00:10:03 thoroughly. But just to put it mildly, we're gobsmacked by some of these numbers, especially

00:10:08 the border counties and the Latinos, it doesn't really fit the bigger picture. It's not what you 0.92

00:10:16 would anticipate with Tallahassee running in the election, in my opinion, but we can get into that

00:10:23 as you want. Yeah, no, tell us. So essentially the delta of the turnout for the Democrats,

00:10:31 it's not really explained to me about 30% of it. I think it's about 30, 20 to 30% bigger than what

00:10:40 is explained by, let's say, generic ballot advantage, enthusiasm advantage. And so for

00:10:47 example, Hina Yosa increased 1.7 million over the last governor's race. And she's an unknown, 0.95

00:10:54 She was polling behind Abbott going into the election.

00:10:59 So it completely took pollsters off guard.

00:11:03 And the problem with these polls is that they're Democrat response biased.

00:11:08 In other words, you have to try to correct for shy Trump respondents or Republican response.

00:11:15 And they admitted that Republicans don't want to talk to pollsters as much as Democrats do come election time. 0.56

00:11:22 So Hina Jost's polling is a problem.

00:11:24 Talarico, I don't think that, of course, he plastered the airwaves with ads.

00:11:31 It was all over the place.

00:11:34 Abbott got some money, obviously, from Elon.

00:11:36 They poured hundreds of millions of dollars into this race.

00:11:40 And unfortunately, they weren't able to.

00:11:43 It seems like they would strategically, and I helped run a successful campaign.

00:11:49 It's sort of like the county level.

00:11:53 It doesn't make any sense to me how this ads were enough to get Tallarico out this far over Paxton.

00:12:05 And so people – I understand he was unpopular.

00:12:08 He's one of the most unpopular Senate candidates for whatever reason.

00:12:11 I thought it was completely overblown.

00:12:12 Why?

00:12:13 Because at least with Paxton, you can look at a track record of doing actual things.

00:12:18 And they keep talking about his baggage and his negativities.

00:12:21 all these politicians have baggage. I'm sorry. Tallarico had plenty of baggage and a lot of

00:12:26 people knew about it. I went out in Texas. I'm in Collin County. So that's a really good sort

00:12:31 of litmus test for it's kind of representative of a lot of suburban counties around Texas.

00:12:36 And people were talking everywhere I went in public about Tallarico. They did not like him.

00:12:42 You saw very few Tallarico supporting signs anywhere. And yet I would say like the early

00:12:50 voting, the thing that didn't really math with me, like the early voting did not on its face look to

00:12:56 be that extraordinary. So I went to this place where they have a polling center several times

00:13:02 a week and they had early voting for weeks, right? It wasn't anything crazy. And, you know,

00:13:08 certainly a lot of the ones who were in line were for a lot of them were foreign born, perhaps they

00:13:16 were like citizens maybe by now. But I would say that they weren't like extremely long lines,

00:13:23 right? Because permanent residents, H-1BBs, they can't legally vote. But overall, I just think the 1.00

00:13:29 early voting, it wasn't so extraordinary to explain record turnout. Kamala Harris was beat

00:13:38 by Hina Yosa and Tallarico.

00:13:42 So, and Tallarico had just,

00:13:44 if you did not even have election day,

00:13:46 if you said Tallarico,

00:13:47 you cannot have election day votes,

00:13:49 if you cut it off, he still wins.

00:13:51 He wins without Harris County.

00:13:53 He wins without Dallas County.

00:13:55 This is extraordinary

00:13:56 because you think that you have to

00:13:58 really have great turnouts

00:13:59 in those blue counties in order to win.

00:14:02 That didn't turn out to be the case.

00:14:03 So a lot of anomalies to go through.

00:14:06 There's a lot, I just want to warn people,

00:14:07 there's a lot of misinformation i keep going through posts that are you know i mean i could

00:14:12 give you examples i don't want to waste your time well give us an example just so if we do see it

00:14:16 we know so a lot of people are talking about there being more uh registered voters than sort of uh

00:14:26 you know adult citizens you see this is very normal there's a backlog people move in and out

00:14:31 and it takes a year at least to catch up and clear those and so like that doesn't really mean

00:14:39 anything it's normal it's it's not it's not anything nefarious so you just have they just

00:14:44 have to clear those backlogs of addresses like you have to check addresses so in texas you have to

00:14:50 if you if you move or whatever if you come back you have to check your address with the the

00:14:55 secretary of state so uh there's nothing wrong with that so i see a lot of noise that's really

00:15:01 getting our eye off the ball um i think that so just to give a little bit more context about the

00:15:07 texas big picture the trump voters switching is it's not what it's not what did it it's because

00:15:14 it's only one percent more than the last midterms so what did it uh they on its face democrats were

00:15:21 just so energized to come out oh my goodness they went they went out at rates never seen before in

00:15:29 american history i did not see any sort of empirical evidence of that coming before the

00:15:35 election i did not see anecdotal reports or witness reports from around texas saying oh

00:15:41 their early voting is crazy the turnout is much higher than i've ever seen before yeah i didn't

00:15:47 see any of that so are we thinking fraud well that's a good question because what what you find

00:15:54 and and we have to keep harping on this the system is designed where fraud escapes it just leaks

00:16:00 through the cracks you have to actually go to every audience so i'll give you an example of one

00:16:06 way to try to catch fraud um and i've been looking into like trying to file something with collin

00:16:11 County to see what they say, but the foot traffic is logged. You have video of people going into

00:16:19 early voting sites. I want to know if the Collin County reporting matches the early voting at the

00:16:25 reporting sites in terms of the foot traffic, same number of votes, because, and that's just

00:16:31 one thing, even if you were able to establish that, the problem I have with these ballot

00:16:36 tabulators you put in your vote and then it takes your ballot right and so it's it's kind of like

00:16:44 mail-in votes it's just separated what happens to that you're not going to be able to find your exact

00:16:50 vote in that uh in that stack because it's secret right so what happens to those ballots yeah of

00:16:57 course we don't want to um say that it's easy to like replace swap out votes or replace votes or

00:17:05 Add votes onto these stacks or delete votes from these stacks.

00:17:10 But once it goes in there, I'll give you a really – this is not from Texas, but how hard it is to even find batches, for example, like a certain date with certain people come in and there are certain votes.

00:17:20 Just to tell you how hard it is.

00:17:22 So Georgia, their risk-limiting audit – I was talking with this guy, Jeff Fulgham, about it.

00:17:29 It's like Dungeons and Dragons.

00:17:30 They actually like roll a 10-sided die to determine the batch, and then they go to that

00:17:36 batch, and then they try to do a risk limit of it about what's the composition of this

00:17:40 batch, and is everything done correctly on these ballots, and does it add up to the totals?

00:17:46 Even if you did that, there's no guarantee, and this actually went to court, there's no

00:17:50 guarantee that that batch is representative of all of the other batches either.

00:17:55 And so in other words, there are a couple of different ways.

00:17:58 uh so like you plug in like the number eight or whatever there's no guarantee that that's like

00:18:03 representative of anything and so it's really tough and we have a risk limiting audit coming

00:18:08 up in texas and it's kind of a joke as well yeah we are so broken it is we're so third world it's

00:18:14 funny uh it's not funny but okay so the other thing oh and in texas so they're wasting no time

00:18:20 so um who was a gateway pundit they said that they've already uh filed 20 gun control bills

00:18:27 um and we had the texas senate though i think people are missing this we don't have the super

00:18:33 majority anymore i got a little excited i i said hey dallas express said we're going to retain our

00:18:38 super majority i'm like dallas express says we're going to have our super majority this would be

00:18:41 great uh but we fell a little bit short of the super majority after it was all said and done

00:18:47 and all right so there's a little bit of a check that's the veto override threshold so that's the

00:18:52 thing you guys like you try to remember you know our government does have checks and balances like

00:18:56 it's really hard for someone to just push stuff through. And then at the end of it, you have the

00:19:02 Supreme Court if you need it. But it is a little concerning that we lost the Congress and the

00:19:10 Senate overwhelmingly, really. It was a bloodbath. Let's get real. So we're going to just have to see

00:19:16 how it goes. But I think there's some foreshadowing of how it's going to go. I'll just get into that

00:19:21 now since we're talking about it. So I have a little series of clips I want to play that will

00:19:26 paint a little picture for you of what we can expect. So first, I'm going to give you your

00:19:33 friend of mine, Jamie Raskin. As we know, Scott, we had a list with Scott of designated liars on

00:19:41 the Democrat side, and he is one of the best designated liars. And how pathetic. What a life 1.00

00:19:47 you're living, Jamie Raskin. So let's listen to him here. We will not hesitate to go after the

00:19:55 private corporations that are collaborating in all of the lawlessness with Donald Trump.

00:20:01 And we've done it before and we will absolutely do it again.

00:20:04 The law firms you mentioned, we know that there were many heroic law firms that have stood up against all of the law breaking

00:20:14 and then the attempt to shake them down for the time of their partners and their young associates.

00:20:21 And yet there are major law firms in America, including Paul Weiss, that have capitulated to these coercive tactics by Donald Trump and have basically surrendered and made all kinds of outrageous concessions.

00:20:35 concessions. We've sent a number of letters to those law firms and they have been not forthcoming

00:20:41 up until now. But when we have the power of subpoena and we have the power to conduct

00:20:47 oversight, we believe a lot of these law firms are going to be coming forward and telling the

00:20:52 truth. Otherwise, they are law firms that have no respect for the rule of law. And we're going to

00:20:56 make sure that they comply with a congressional subpoena. It is the exact same legal force as a

00:21:02 judicial subpoena does. Subpoena means under the power or under the...

00:21:06 Okay, just bear with me one second, because here's Jamie Raskin a couple of days later.

00:21:13 We're not going to engage in any retribution. We're not going to engage in any revenge.

00:21:17 That's not our vision of criminal justice, much less is it our vision of the legislative role.

00:21:23 They're projecting their complete public philosophy of the Justice Department onto us.

00:21:28 We don't engage in retribution and revenge. We uphold and defend the rule of law.

00:21:34 I mean, I just have to start laughing. He's so ridiculous, Kyle. What do you think about those 0.99

00:21:40 two clips right there? Jamie Raskin is a communist. I mean, I cannot take anything he says seriously.

00:21:48 His dad was a communist suspected of having loyalties to the Soviet Union, and he's a red

00:21:55 diaper baby and so he is one of the biggest weasels in the entire congress and you know your 0.54

00:22:04 clips sum it up really well but you know they we saw with van jones for example who's another

00:22:11 communist or at least he said he was and i i believe him i believe these people when they

00:22:16 say they're they're communists that well they have this big uh sort of scam operation where

00:22:23 they get together like 10,000 people and they all say the same message over and over again

00:22:29 about affordability. It's like the American Accountability Project or something to that

00:22:34 extent, right? So they put out these messages about affordability. They harp it over and over

00:22:40 and over again through the election. They don't care about affordability at all. They just blew

00:22:45 out the government budget and caused inflation at record levels. They had COVID scams, about a

00:22:50 trillion dollars worth of COVID fraud. They fought doge tooth and nail. They whined about USAID 0.92

00:22:59 and they ignored everything under the Biden administration that was an affordability

00:23:05 crisis for Americans then. They never criticized Biden about those things. So it's really confusing

00:23:11 to see this sort of bait and switch for a lot of independent voters who thought they were going to

00:23:17 get lower gas prices and everything because of anything the Democrats do. But speaking of which,

00:23:23 they have dropped quite a bit after the election. And I'm seeing some interesting chatter online

00:23:27 about why that is. Some people are drawing a line between the way this messaging, this American

00:23:34 Accountability Project, and also Chuck Schumer and some of the things that he said. And he's got

00:23:38 buddies who they say can manipulate things when it comes to sort of the market projections like

00:23:46 oil futures, et cetera, that, well, it's not really a total coincidence in the timing

00:23:52 because actually what happened is the fundamentals of the oil market are not matching up exactly with

00:24:01 how much they fell. So it's sort of just a projection thing. It's sort of an animal spirits

00:24:07 thing, to borrow a line from Keynes. And the Democrats are masters of manipulating these

00:24:14 animal spirits uh through propaganda emotional manipulation and outright lying like the designated 1.00

00:24:21 liar rat skin i call them but yeah we all do for sure oh my god the list of designated liars oh 0.94

00:24:28 all right this guy i i have to say this is um rep uh representative robert garcia 0.50

00:24:36 now i know some of you have criticized me just just a couple of people they say i say

00:24:41 the word like too much but i want you to listen to this guy the democrats are electing children

00:24:50 okay they are electing little petty children and listen to this guy if you can even imagine this

00:24:57 is real take a listen just because you're kimberly goldfoyle or you're christine oem or you're pam

00:25:03 bondy and you're no longer in office that doesn't mean that we're still not interested in accountability

00:25:10 for all of your crimes and grift we're not gonna i we're not gonna forget like you know like we

00:25:17 can't forget about these folks that are causing harm like you know i think it's like i mean maybe

00:25:23 it's maybe it's because i'm i'm like i'm gay but like you know like like pettiness is a thing

00:25:29 like i i'm i am i'm mad you know like i think like this is the moment in history

00:25:37 where all the young people like are in our families in our classrooms like they have to

00:25:43 know that what's happening right now is wrong and to just move on does it disservice to the future

00:25:49 of our country like oh my god like he's so like annoying and he's petty he's petty okay so like

00:25:58 he's mad um i mean this is what we have to look forward to how are we gonna how are we gonna tune

00:26:06 it out and deal with it. Well, this court of catty rhetoric is something you would expect at

00:26:13 a Mean Girls movie or something like that, some kind of Valley high school in California.

00:26:22 But it just shows how fundamentally unconcerned they are with the ramifications of their

00:26:27 partisan rhetoric, their little revenge tour that they've been planning. And it all boils down to

00:26:32 what he said. They're mad. Why are they mad? Well, I would hold out to you. They were mad

00:26:37 that USAID got defunded. The DOE Department of Education was shuttered. They were mad that there

00:26:44 was an attack on their institutions that the leftists control and that they rely on as a

00:26:50 mechanism of power, both hard power in terms of political mobilization, but also soft power in

00:26:55 terms of manipulating our children to share their same so-called social justice proclivity

00:27:02 which essentially they have turned America into, yes, it's political theory, but they're also

00:27:10 damaging our institutions greatly. And what has happened in American politics is we have this

00:27:17 cycle of revenge and retaliation. And the side where I am, I'm more of a conservative, center

00:27:24 right, sort of libertarian leanings in some ways, but that's an epithet that's been hijacked.

00:27:31 What I see now is that there's no concerns to preserve our institutions and to rule back the Democrats attacks on our institutions. So we are just punching bags for them. And we have nobody who really fights for us in the Congress to push them back.

00:27:48 We have this decorum, this Marquis de Queensberry rules that these good old boy Republicans like John Thune and, well, John Cornine buy, but that they play by.

00:28:01 But the left does not play by these rules.

00:28:03 It's quite evident.

00:28:04 You don't really see Republicans talk about the left in these terms.

00:28:08 On the other, they go the other direction.

00:28:10 It's like we're not interested in retaliation.

00:28:12 We're not interested in revenge.

00:28:15 And the Trump administration came in, a lot of people were looking forward to just holding

00:28:20 people accountable, get some grand juries going, look at the evidence, follow it where

00:28:25 it goes.

00:28:25 If there was a crime committed, prosecute them.

00:28:28 But Democrats seem to have a get out of jail free card.

00:28:31 So now they're emboldened.

00:28:33 They know nothing is going to happen to them.

00:28:35 They're not being held accountable by these activist judges, especially in like D.C.

00:28:39 with Judge Bozo or Anna Reyes or up in New York.

00:28:43 They, you know, on Manhattan district, they get away with whatever they want.

00:28:48 So their idea of getting accountability is doing what they did, you know, in the run

00:28:53 up to the 2024 election where they use lawfare.

00:28:57 They rigged, for example, they rigged the New York legislation so they could go after

00:29:03 Trump over a civil suit involving rape allegations.

00:29:07 and uh you know the real estate also thing was a complete fiasco and they also went after his

00:29:15 associates you know uh roger stone among others i i just see that they play by the different set

00:29:21 of rules than uh republicans play and this imbalance is really leading to a lot of frustration

00:29:29 and we need to remember that too by the way kyle it's like yeah they go after his associates

00:29:36 uh we're talking handcuffing peter navarro and taking him off a plane uh oh sorry i keep hearing

00:29:44 me um and then you know opening the guy's iphone with his picture one of trump's attorneys and

00:29:50 like accessing the guy's whole phone i forget the attorney's name he was an amazing attorney

00:29:54 and he's no longer allowed to practice anymore um steve bannon uh oh god a man of four you know

00:30:02 So all of these people, okay, some rightfully so you have to look at, but we do nothing.

00:30:07 We do nothing.

00:30:09 So here's the thing about that, Erica.

00:30:12 Normal Americans like us here, we don't want to see a cycle of revenge being played out in politics.

00:30:18 We don't want to see like Thomas Massey saying, oh, I want Hegseth's head and to sort of fuel this feeding frenzy over Hegseth because he disagrees.

00:30:26 Hegseth is not doing anything in terms of his official duties differently than past secretaries of defense.

00:30:32 He's not doing anything differently.

00:30:34 They just him and his globalist elite buddies just don't like their policies and his policies

00:30:41 in terms of just, you know, fitness standards and the anti-DEI stuff.

00:30:46 He got rid of the woke stuff.

00:30:48 And you can disagree about the Iran war.

00:30:50 Let's have that conversation.

00:30:51 Yes, I don't think we should have military conflicts for more than six months without

00:30:56 a declaration of war.

00:30:58 That's something that libertarians have been saying for a long time.

00:31:01 And I don't fault him for saying that, but do it through the legislative process. Don't sort of put targets on people to remove them from power. The sort of normalization of impeachment to solve policy disagreements is not helpful.

00:31:17 And so the point is that the radical left is setting up a dynamic where we are going to eventually want revenge too because they are harming us.

00:31:28 They are singling us out for censorship, for retribution, for suppression at the ballot box and other things that they do to sort of replace us demographically.

00:31:45 And all the way down the line, they want to create as much of a powder keg situation as they can.

00:31:53 Sensible – the inclination among us to be sensible is to sort of defuse this to sort of manage the crisis.

00:32:03 So we are always like, let's be sensible.

00:32:05 Let's be even-keeled.

00:32:06 Let's keep the system stable.

00:32:07 but uh it we have to really make a calculated decision about how much we stand to lose because

00:32:17 the democrats are acquiring such power through their institutions and their weaponizing of them

00:32:22 that they're trying to lock in a permanent majority like they did in california they want

00:32:26 to pack the supreme court they want to get rid of through getting rid of the filibuster and other

00:32:31 means they have enough governorships where they can threaten the electoral college i'm not sure

00:32:36 that it's constitutional or will hold up under the Supreme Court, which is, you know, we just

00:32:42 got a ruling from them on the border walls, 8-1, only, you know. Yeah, you can go back to the

00:32:48 border wall now. Only KBJ was the lone dissent. What a farce. Yeah. So we do have that institution

00:32:58 to help us a little bit to keep it stabilized. But if they get rid of the filibuster in the

00:33:04 saying it's going to be another step towards further destabilization, towards crisis, add

00:33:09 Puerto Rico and try to add DC. I'm not sure how that would happen, but they could try.

00:33:18 So again, I'm always shocked that I feel like J. Cal is having like this all in glow up,

00:33:27 like he's becoming more of a grownup or something because he's making more and more sense to me

00:33:32 lately. I have personal disagreements with J. Cal. But anyway, I fully, once again, I think this is

00:33:39 like the second time in seven days I say I agree with J. Cal 100% when he says this.

00:33:46 What Trump can do, I have a take some people might find a little shocking. I'm not a big fan

00:33:52 of pardons, right? But they're the law. They're built into the system. Both parties use them

00:33:57 liberally and every administration gets more aggressive in using them so until we change

00:34:03 that i think trump right now should pardon everybody right now this week pardon his family

00:34:07 pardon himself pardon every single person in the administration because he's going to do it anyway

00:34:11 and then that takes off the table the democrats doing an endless amount of investigations or it

00:34:17 neuters it to a certain extent so i i agree with that on the basis that it does kind of take the

00:34:26 wind out of their sails for the, for Trump and his family, but it's not going to do anything for

00:34:30 everybody. Like that first clip of Jamie Raskin, like they're going to go after everybody in the

00:34:36 orbit, unfortunately. But I mean, if his pardons are unlimited, as soon as they start to bring up

00:34:43 somebody's name, he should just pardon them. And again, I know it's the back and forth,

00:34:47 but they've taken it to a whole new level. And if we don't really cut it off now and save the

00:34:55 people now that we're trying to save the country. I just don't know how we ever have a Republican

00:35:02 party again. Nobody's going to want to get involved. And that's why I am fully open to

00:35:08 and encouraging everybody, just be open-minded to whatever Brett Weinstein's talking about right now

00:35:14 with this America party, because the two parties have gone so cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs that the sane

00:35:22 people are like where do i fit in where do i vote well we were in this situation before with the tea

00:35:28 party and there was a lot of discussion about fracturing off the republican party it's but

00:35:34 take a take a page out of the book of the democrats is my advice first of all they the

00:35:39 socialists have infiltrated that party they got rid of a lot of uh moderates or independents which

00:35:45 there's always a minority they're a small minority um but uh you can actually find some of them they

00:35:51 they tried to speak out against socialism and they were singled out. But in terms of pardoning

00:35:56 everyone in the Trump administration, I think it's a prudent maneuver. It's a way to take the

00:36:01 wind out of their sails, like you said. They better come correct and bring the facts and

00:36:05 actually be able to prove prosecutions that there were crimes committed and not just make the

00:36:11 process the punishment against those who are their political enemies, drag them to the court,

00:36:16 drag their name through the mud and drag out the time that they spend with it because racking up

00:36:23 lawyers' bills is no joke for a lot of people. And so I think it's a good maneuver. They set

00:36:28 the precedent with Fauci. If anybody should have been grilled to the umpteenth degree,

00:36:34 it was Dr. Anthony Fauci because there are a lot of questions still about why he wasn't

00:36:39 accountable. And these auto pen pardons, nobody even tried to challenge these in courts as far

00:36:45 as I could tell. And essentially, they used it as a rubber stamp for everything that they're 0.57

00:36:51 crooked, you know, whether it's Hunter Biden or Fauci and, you know, criminals that were

00:36:58 Democrat-friendly criminals. And, you know, you've seen this abuse before in the past,

00:37:03 but I think in the current situation where they want revenge and retribution, that it's

00:37:09 practical maneuver. Hopefully, you would never need it. You know, if you want to say, well,

00:37:13 this will set a precedent. Ideally, you wouldn't even have to need this, but they're out for blood.

00:37:20 They're out for blood. And they want information. They want private information. They want to leak

00:37:24 the information. They want to be like, see, I told you. They want to see what the game plan is.

00:37:29 And then they want to exploit it. And then they'll have the news media do their little, 0.98

00:37:35 what do you need us to do, overlords? And it's just another cycle. And honestly, you guys,

00:37:42 it's really hard. It's really hard to be an everyday American just with all this stuff

00:37:48 coming at you. So like we say, you don't have to listen to all of it. The best thing you can do is

00:37:56 just be informed. You don't have to be like mega informed, like it's your job, but be informed

00:38:03 and live your life, protect your family and do things that make you happy because

00:38:09 this environment is so toxic. I mean, even the other day, something happened in my personal life

00:38:16 due because of this show. And I was talking to a friend. I'm like, this is the exact kind of

00:38:22 thing that would make me leave this show because the real world is not this shit and you can get 0.98

00:38:32 all consumed by it and the consumption of it will not change it. So, you know, they're going to do 0.98

00:38:40 what they're going to do. They're all in a club. They're not thinking about me and you. They're

00:38:44 not thinking about this country. We have nothing to do with what's happening in DC. Once upon a

00:38:48 time we may have, but now be careful about the consumption of the news and how it makes you

00:38:54 feel. I watch the chat all the time and I see people in the chat that are really depressed

00:39:00 and whatever, don't be depressed. Okay. The, the, the reframe is you have to be inspired. Okay. So

00:39:06 if you feel depressed, change it to, I'm inspired to speak up more and to live my life accordingly

00:39:14 and maybe inform your friends in a way that's palpable for, for them and, um, and vote the

00:39:22 right way, but also don't close your mind to other options. Okay. Like don't, don't close your mind

00:39:29 down to like, well, it's always this way. And this is the way it has to be. No, you can author

00:39:33 yourself. You can author this world. You can author this country. Um, you know, when one

00:39:38 person stands up, another person's inspired to stand up because of that person. So be the person

00:39:43 that stands up and maybe some other people will follow you. And if not, you're still standing on

00:39:49 your own morals and convictions. And at the end of the day, you can feel good about that and never

00:39:54 have to say, I should have, I should have done that. If I only did that, if I only spoke up,

00:39:59 if I only told him this or told her that. So we have to like live as authentically as possible

00:40:04 to what we really feel now without being afraid. Okay. Be inspired as best as you can. Um, because

00:40:12 these lunatics on both sides, their agenda has nothing to do with our everyday life, 0.92

00:40:20 unfortunately. So sometimes you're picking the least evil and I don't want to vote like that 0.87

00:40:27 anymore. I don't want the least evil. I want the person who wants to do the best for us.

00:40:32 So let's hope that our fear and desperation can turn into inspiration and that we can inspire

00:40:38 new candidates and new ideas and turn off the noise because it really will overtake you. And

00:40:46 the holidays are right here. I also want to say that the holidays are here. So you have to shake

00:40:52 this shit off now, or it's going to ruin your holidays and don't let it. And, you know, just 0.99

00:40:58 shake it off for now, say I'll revisit it in January. I'll think more about it like after

00:41:03 the holidays, but allow yourself to have a break from it also, because, you know, the world will

00:41:08 keep spinning. And I don't know, I just worry about people's mental health and their sanity

00:41:13 with what's happening around us, Kyle. No, absolutely. And where I draw some

00:41:19 perspective is through my experience doing this for maybe 20 years. I mean, I remember

00:41:26 the Obama, the first election, that really spooked me. I was really concerned about the Obama election

00:41:35 when he first came to power. And I just saw the way his campaign was just fabricated out of thin

00:41:41 They propped up this guy as the Messiah, as Rush Limbaugh used to call him.

00:41:45 And so I saw that entire cycle.

00:41:48 I got active in the 2010 cycle.

00:41:51 I was a national Tea Party board member for one of the bigger groups.

00:41:56 And I also got involved at a campaign, which I hadn't done before.

00:41:59 I ran call centers.

00:42:00 I went to doors, knocked on them, talked to people, helped with the strategy.

00:42:05 Out of scratch, I made this huge database of New York people to reach out who are likely

00:42:10 voters or people who we could persuade to get out the vote. And we had one of the better turns out

00:42:16 in New York, like deep blue New York. We overturned a blue district there in New York. And so I've 0.67

00:42:24 seen it happen before, and I know the sort of things that it takes. And so that is a source

00:42:29 of inspiration for me. And it also is a frame of perspective for me. And seeing that, how we've

00:42:38 gone back and forth in both the things that we did to sort of hold back the tide or turn back

00:42:45 the tide to some extent, and also draw the lessons of where we got sidetracked or where we got

00:42:51 hijacked or sent down a blind alley, which was the objective of a lot of infiltrators that got

00:42:58 into the Tea Party movement. Grifters also were big concern. We saw that happen in this last

00:43:03 election so that's i stopped listening to tucker carlson for and i used to like his crew i mean i

00:43:09 worked with his producers like side by side we had the same office you know when i was at hannity

00:43:14 and and they were really great people and and i'm sure they still are i'm sure but uh tucker for

00:43:20 whatever reason jumped the reservation there's a lot of speculation why exactly but you know i

00:43:27 never listened to candace owens because i can just smell the grift and and the lack of sincerity to

00:43:33 go back to your point, the lack of authenticity, I can smell it on people. It usually doesn't take

00:43:38 me very long to figure it out. And so I just want people to like follow their gut instincts on who

00:43:42 to listen to and not listen to. But the person who's most important to listen to is you. And

00:43:48 so obviously we're all going to have to share our opinions and work together and be reason.

00:43:55 For me, it's about being reasonable. And you know, you may not be able to persuade everyone with

00:44:01 reason, but there are a lot of people you can persuade. And that's what the founders had to do.

00:44:07 That's what Thomas Paine had to do. It's what Ben Franklin had to do. It's what all of these great

00:44:12 leaders in American history had to do. And there's been a lot of pushback. I mean, the Tea Party wave,

00:44:17 I think it's 54 congressional seats pick up for Republicans, about that party in 53, 54,

00:44:24 and then six Senate seats. And the Democrats might get seven this time. So it's not something

00:44:31 that we can't push back if we put our minds to it uh and you know start getting cracking the

00:44:36 democrats one of the reasons they had such a big victory and i am not convinced i that it's as as

00:44:43 big in reality as it is on paper i agree with some of these questions like the down ballot why would

00:44:48 down ballot texas like county commissioners and stuff get more to than than abbott who's an

00:44:54 incumbent who is polling ahead of hinoa so why would that be north carolina you see similar

00:44:58 down-ballot anomalies. In Maine, I'll give you another anomaly while I'm just like quickly on

00:45:03 here, just like tied in really quickly. Overseas ballots turned a couple of smaller races like a

00:45:09 county sheriff and a county commissioner. And they went 90-10 for Democrats. Overseas,

00:45:17 including a lot of military ballots. So that's just very strange. So there are some things that

00:45:23 we still need to dig in. We don't have to accept the results as being valid. So I want to margin

00:45:28 for i would never argue that any people who know me i i'm always about digging responsibly digging

00:45:34 right so i'm not saying accept these results for what they are but don't let it deflate you

00:45:40 and don't let it uh turn off your critical thinking about the underlying messaging and

00:45:46 policy problems that de derailed the republican party and made them a party that a lot of people

00:45:52 didn't want to vote for and in fact most people voted against them because the democrats according

00:45:57 the exit polls are not favorable people do not like them they're just they were just voted for

00:46:04 because they were not the status quo and the democrats knew this and they they capitalized on

00:46:08 it they ran the crazies in the safe blue districts and they had this bs uh you know spammed messaging

00:46:18 of well talarico is just about affordability he's about common sense and he actually thinks there

00:46:23 there should be some border security, really?

00:46:25 Because you have a legislative track record

00:46:28 that is against everything that you just said. 0.97

00:46:31 So you're a liar, but how do we beat lies? 0.87

00:46:35 Well, we just be truthful, authentic, 0.98

00:46:38 come correct with the facts, be forceful, be persuasive.

00:46:42 And so I'm with you.

00:46:44 I'm actually fired up.

00:46:45 And because we don't really have a choice,

00:46:49 but it means having two elections every cycle

00:46:52 the end of the day the primaries may be in a lot of cases more important than the general election

00:47:00 because if if if the general trends are on your side you're going to get your side

00:47:05 like it's going to be the republican side right and if that's the default vote for a lot of people

00:47:11 in terms of party registration who they're going to check the box for if that's the system we have

00:47:15 this bivalent system that we all complain about and we don't like i mean i certainly don't um

00:47:20 then work within that system you've got your uh your breach you got your breach in the system

00:47:27 it doesn't have to be a false choice between two bad parties you can make it who is that choice

00:47:33 what is that choice who is that person you're putting in to be that de facto vote in the

00:47:39 general election so those primaries the the caution i have with that is that people more

00:47:45 likely to go into the primary voting and to be all worked up about it will go with whoever is

00:47:51 the most conservative or the biggest ideological warrior or the one who promises uh you know

00:47:56 maybe retribution or uh some sort of extreme accountability that's not necessarily the best

00:48:02 guy to put in there you want if you're gonna get a de facto republican on your side it depends on

00:48:08 your district uh it depends on your senate race obviously uh you should pick somebody who can win

00:48:16 and get wins for you after they win so you're just looking for evidence that they're going

00:48:21 to get you some wins and they're going to actually be opposition so yeah no that that's well thought

00:48:28 out and then for me so you know we're not all the same i do listen to tucker i listen to the young

00:48:37 Turks. I listen to Dave Smith. I listen sometimes to Candace. I listen to Megyn Kelly. And then I 0.63

00:48:46 listen to your Dave Rubens and Ruthless podcast, the All In podcast. I listen to, I'm trying to

00:48:54 think of the little thing on the top of my YouTube of the podcast I listen to. I listen to all of it.

00:49:01 The things I don't listen to are like MSNBC, CNN, Fox News. I don't listen to any of that.

00:49:06 I want to hear from everybody. And I think that there are really smart things said from all of

00:49:15 those people. There's not one person I agree with on even 70% of what they say. There's no one that

00:49:23 has even a 70% of like, oh, I fully agree with that. No, but I could never be like, that's my

00:49:28 person. I fully agree with everything that person says. But I like the ideas that come from all of

00:49:36 those people. Like I can find the nuggets of wisdom. I'm not one of these people that's like,

00:49:41 Oh, that's it. I don't like, I liked you. And then you said that now I don't like you. I'm not like

00:49:45 that. I I'm like the person that wants to hear all the things. Like I don't have friends that

00:49:51 say something that pisses me off. And now I'm not your friend. You know what I mean? It's like,

00:49:54 well, I did like all of this and I'm not going to judge you on this one thing, or you have an

00:49:59 opinion about something I don't have an opinion about. To me, that's the same thing as saying,

00:50:03 like, I can't be friends with a Democrat because this is how they voted. Or my Democrat friends

00:50:08 can't be friends with me because I vote for Trump. You know, some of my best friends are

00:50:12 Democrats. And so that's how I feel about where I get my information. I think that there's good

00:50:17 and bad ideas from everybody. So I like to say to the people listening, and I think Scott was

00:50:24 like this too. I mean, he would just, he would say things all the time like, oh no, I really like,

00:50:29 you know, I think this person's really smart and I like what they had to say. And sometimes we'd

00:50:33 be screaming in the chat, how could you listen to that person? But it's just kind of true. You got

00:50:39 to take your emotions out of it sometimes and listen. So I suggest listening and that way you

00:50:44 will have a better understanding of what everybody's saying and thinking. And when people are

00:50:51 the, I hate Tucker bandwagon, well, at least listen to what it is that they hate. You don't

00:50:58 take other people's words for things all the time is my opinion. So I don't say that to be a

00:51:03 renegade. This is just truly who I am. I can't vote in the primaries because I'm not registered

00:51:08 with a party. I am not even independent. I'm completely unaffiliated because I fucking hate

00:51:14 everybody. Okay. Like I, everybody's so full of shit to me. Sorry for the language. Um, 0.99

00:51:20 But that's how I feel. I've been so disenfranchised for so long. For me, for my integrity, I cannot

00:51:31 co-sign on anything that I can even just hold my nose to vote in the primaries. So that's who I am,

00:51:39 you guys. So when you hear from me and if people are like, oh, you're this. No, I'm not. I'm not

00:51:44 any of that. I'm, I'm strictly Erica. I'm strictly Erica. And I think for myself and I don't care

00:51:52 if people are mad, like, how could you say you watch Megyn Kelly? Because I do. And it's okay.

00:51:59 Um, you know, just the same way I can watch the young Turks or I can watch ruthless or all in

00:52:05 because I, I like to hear from everybody. So I encourage that. I mean, I know a lot of people

00:52:11 don't want to do that, I do. And I wasn't planning on that rant today either. But I just wanted to

00:52:17 get that in because I feel like Scott was also very much a free thinker and also able to change

00:52:24 his mind when he got different information as I do too. Sometimes I love something and then

00:52:29 something changes about it and I'm like, I got to adjust my opinion on it. Remember when Scott was

00:52:34 like, I love, he never said love, but that he really liked Bill Gates and we would all be dying

00:52:42 in the chat. Like what? And I mean, he ran with that for years. Like, I mean, there was an

00:52:48 interview. If you could, you know, sit down and talk to one person, like who would it be? He's

00:52:53 like, oh, you know, Bill Gates for sure. And, you know, I was like, oh my God. And then one day he

00:52:58 was like, you know what? Maybe he's not as great as we thought. Maybe there is something nefarious

00:53:04 happening like okay fine so you know he came to that um on his own so that's that was just a rant

00:53:11 for no reason but that's a good point counterpoint i i'm a i mean look i'm a free thinker as well a

00:53:18 critical thinker but it's to the it's in a different vein as you like i have my own vein i

00:53:23 have my own process and usually it's seeing somebody make an opinion and like i argue

00:53:29 everybody who follows me on X knows I argue with everybody, whatever. But if I see something from

00:53:34 Tucker, I think I criticized him a couple of weeks ago. I'm just not somebody who's going to sit

00:53:38 there and invest all of my time absorbing these opinions. I'm really going to just make counter

00:53:46 arguments because I'm actually somebody who's going to go into and just research subjects on

00:53:52 my own. And that's how I spend my time. I do it in a different... So we can both kind of have a

00:53:56 similar uh viewpoint i think but we just have different strategies on how to do that you're

00:54:03 more dialectical based i'm more like maybe just like i do a lot of writing so i have to do research

00:54:09 and writing so this just it's it's kind of two different ways to do it um in terms of the party

00:54:14 registration i think that's a fascinating counterpoint because you know there's there's

00:54:19 how do you hold like you know it's like how you hold the system accountable uh do you do you just

00:54:26 not participate and then you're voicing your protest because you don't participate in a

00:54:31 broken system?

00:54:32 Or do you try to get into that broken system and try to repair it from the inside?

00:54:36 Yeah.

00:54:36 I think they're both different philosophies on how to do it.

00:54:39 For example, I have to admit this, just a full disclosure.

00:54:43 I voted Libertarian on a couple of candidates in this Texas election because I was like,

00:54:48 well, I don't like the corruption.

00:54:51 I don't like what you're doing.

00:54:52 And I'm not voting for you.

00:54:56 and you know it's i have to send a message to the republican party hey uh stop stop pretending you're

00:55:05 an opposition party uh on these different issues and going in and and you know for me it was the

00:55:12 thc thing i think it was the biggest shot in the foot you could possibly imagine i hate dan patrick

00:55:19 you follow the alcohol lobby receipts and there's some people talked about the tobacco lobby

00:55:23 receipts, but it's harder for me to get that in black and white. It's just anecdotal. People say

00:55:29 it. But for me, that's unacceptable. It is absolutely unacceptable. I have friends who

00:55:34 are military veterans who swear by it. For me, it's a personal responsibility thing.

00:55:38 Explain to them what it is about the THC.

00:55:40 So it's complicated because of the way-

00:55:43 It's marijuana.

00:55:44 Yeah, it's complicated. It's just basically there are different

00:55:48 you know, smokables and gummies that people take. And you can buy them and it's controlled

00:55:54 to a large extent, which I think is a huge plus. It takes the black market element out of there.

00:56:00 It provides an alternative to all of these hard drugs, like the fentanyl-laced nonsense that's

00:56:05 out there that has killed people in the past. And thankfully, that's coming a little bit more

00:56:09 under control now because of the border policies in part. But for me, it provided an alternative.

00:56:15 And this alternative, well, alcohol lobby didn't like that very much, although some try to think of ways to do the beverage side.

00:56:26 There is a beverage side to the THC.

00:56:28 So we're in a situation right now where it's kind of mixed policy regime, like a mixed legal regime, because it's just being fought out in the courts and there's an executive order that Abbott made.

00:56:40 and so it's not like all THC is banned it's just so regulated right now and they're so fearful of

00:56:47 it that a lot of them just pulled up and said like we're done we're done with it and again

00:56:53 that's just my libertarian side throwing through that we're adults you know the whole thing about

00:56:59 the marijuana is a gateway drug is a complete myth it's an absolute myth it's sampling on the

00:57:04 dependent variable i'm not going to get into the politics wonk stuff but they ask these hard drug

00:57:08 users, did you ever use marijuana? Yes, I did. Well, it must be a gateway drug then.

00:57:12 Well, it's the easiest to get. It's the cheapest. I mean, come on. If someone is prone to use drugs,

00:57:20 them getting marijuana first does not prove that marijuana is what caused them to take other drugs. 1.00

00:57:24 It's such a stupid idea. So that was part of why you voted independent. 1.00

00:57:28 It's the corruption. It's the corruption. It's just a sign that the Republican Party is broke

00:57:33 and it has its priorities out of whack. They could have done more with election integrity.

00:57:37 For example, we don't have a system of making people prove that they're citizens in order to vote in the elections with actual documentary evidence.

00:57:45 Check a box. It says, hey, you know, I attest under penalty of perjury that I am an American citizen.

00:57:50 Poof, done. You think this isn't going to be manipulated in places where there's ballot harvesting or backdoor early vote operations?

00:57:58 Look at what James O'Keefe said.

00:57:59 I'm going to fill this out. I'm just going to say I attest under penalty of perjury.

00:58:02 Guess what? Signatures are not matched. Are you kidding?

00:58:06 No, they're not. 0.96

00:58:08 And so, you know, you start seeing these border counties with high Hispanics coming out 65-point shift.

00:58:16 There is a pro-Trump county, Star County, 65-point shift to the left.

00:58:20 Wow.

00:58:20 You know, in the 40s for Hina Yosa.

00:58:23 And supposedly it's because they're mad about gas prices, which were the same under Biden.

00:58:28 That cannot be it.

00:58:29 Oh, they're mad about the Iran war?

00:58:30 Where are the protests, guys?

00:58:32 I remember the Bush administration.

00:58:34 he had a big midterm rebuke. And he was, you know, 2006. And that was a huge thing where you

00:58:44 could look and say, look, there's anti-war protests. They really don't like Bush. A lot

00:58:48 of people are worked up about it. And they're going to show up on election day, and they're

00:58:51 going to punish him for it. That all added up. Okay. And by the way, the Bushes voting for

00:58:57 Tallarico didn't help either. Oh, yeah. Well, was it Jenna? No, it was all of them.

00:59:02 Oh, yeah. Well, Jenna gave campaign donation. I didn't see where they actually voted, but that's pretty indicative of the good old boy network here in Texas that our Republicans are, you know, Republicans in name only in a lot of cases. 0.85

00:59:18 And so we have a Texas Senate majority that's a little bit of solace, but we're expecting to get stabbed in the back, at least on a few issues, because that's just the way these guys rule. 0.95

00:59:29 They're corrupt. 0.93

00:59:30 They take donor money, campaign money. 0.98

00:59:33 Everything's up for grabs.

00:59:34 They're up for sale.

00:59:36 And so, you know, we're not going to be surprised in Texas if they hold like a lawn chair on some of this stuff.

00:59:44 We don't even have time for this, but I mean, you guys have a, we all, but you guys have 0.99

00:59:49 a massive Islam problem in Texas. 0.93

00:59:53 Are you worried? 1.00

00:59:54 Yeah.

00:59:54 I actually just wrote a story about that because of, you know, I tracked down some of the statements

01:00:01 that some of these Muslim leaders, they want to turn Dallas into the Medina of America,

01:00:05 is what the leader said.

01:00:08 And they have mosques all over this.

01:00:09 We have, you know, we have hundreds of thousands of Arab or Muslim leaning.

01:00:15 I mean, the demographics are kind of hard to get because Indians, there's a lot of Indians.

01:00:18 A couple of minutes, Kyle.

01:00:20 Yeah, go for it.

01:00:21 I just want to play this clip because everybody here knows that one of my core concerns is Islam in America. 0.99

01:00:27 It's been my concern since I learned about their agenda when 9-11 happened. 1.00

01:00:33 Take a listen.

01:00:34 This is this is all to do with Texas. 0.93

01:00:37 in texas now with the new project because the the red people the republicans are so islamophobic 0.74

01:00:49 that the entire state to their surprise actually turned into blue you know the thing the only guy

01:00:57 who's left there is ted cruz and this is a chance for us muslims to grab by the will of allah

01:01:04 Alhamdulillah, we see in Dallas a great potential, a great potential for the ummah.

01:01:10 And the reason you have a lot of Islamophobes trying to derail youth, because they see it as well.

01:01:18 They see, as the media has called it, Darul Hijrah of America now, right?

01:01:23 And inshaAllah, Shaykh Kareem is going to be part of that hijrah, moving here as well. 0.97

01:01:28 And inshaAllah, by the will of Allah , it will happen. 1.00

01:01:32 What does Allah tell us? That in the end, the victory is for the people of Taqwa.

01:01:37 The victory will come. No doubt to that.

01:01:41 We're either going to be victorious or shohada. We're not coming back. 1.00

01:01:45 Inshallah, Dallas, a blessed city, Texas, the great state of Texas.

01:01:52 And I'm sure Governor Abbott is more than happy that I'm here. 0.99

01:01:57 Inshallah, from here, the da'wah is going to grow. 0.98

01:02:00 People call this the Medina of America. 1.00

01:02:02 Well, let's make it that, right?

01:02:04 We're Muslim, and that's why we want Islam for this country,

01:02:08 because we think that's the best thing.

01:02:09 You have to stand firm, and who was victorious in the end?

01:02:14 Muhammad ibn Abdullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, 0.96

01:02:18 was victorious, the Fattah, Mecca came, 0.98

01:02:22 and the Quraysh and the Mushrikeen finished. 1.00

01:02:25 Dressing modestly. 0.99

01:02:27 There is literally no more questioning their intention.

01:02:30 All right. All right. So, you know, they they said it out loud. They've been actually saying it out loud. I've been listening to them say it for decades. The plan is to take over our country and to rid this country of anyone that doesn't want to be Muslim or follow Islam. Like literally, Kyle.

01:02:52 Yeah. So they're piggybacking off of the Democrats' grand strategy for fundamentally transforming America, and that's to take over the cities. And so they're infiltrating the Democrat Party in these cities, and they're steering them one at a time in order to get us more willing to let them have their Sharia-compliant communities one at a time.

01:03:21 And, I mean, Abdul El-Sayed just said the other day about Michigan as the Arab capital of America. 0.94

01:03:28 And we have Mamdani, who is somehow the mayor of New York City.

01:03:33 I mean, I haven't quite come to grips with that, how they had 9-11 there.

01:03:38 And they have Zoran Mamdani, who is certainly a fellow traveler with some of the caliphs that have supported 9-11.

01:03:47 So I'm not sure exactly what is acceptable. 0.97

01:03:51 I don't know if it's just that Democrats are so ignorant about fundamental things. 0.95

01:03:56 They know so many things that aren't so in addition to that problem, but how they're 0.95

01:04:02 willing to overlook these existential threats to the United States of America is a really

01:04:07 damning indictment how a lot of people have been capitulating into no longer standing

01:04:17 up for themselves, their families, their communities, their identity, their culture. 0.84

01:04:21 their patriotism, identifying as an American and what that means. It's just America as a concept

01:04:29 has been hollowed out and they have packed it like a suitcase with a lot of things that have

01:04:36 nothing to do with what America is. They say diversity, cultural relativism, moral relativism,

01:04:43 tolerance. And they put all of these things and they redefine what America stands for

01:04:48 And they pump this into the brains of children and teachers and lawyers, and they act like this is what America stands for, when it should stand for freedom, liberty, individual rights, do unto others as you would have done unto you, sort of a civics framework for civil society and so forth.

01:05:11 So they have like, they kept America in place and then they pulled out anything out. And so they,

01:05:16 and they also attach like Arab American, Muslim American. Are you an American or are you not?

01:05:21 Oh, you hyphenate it because you are trying to make it so they're not on our team. So are they

01:05:28 on our team or are they not? Well, if you hyphenate it, you're not really on our team.

01:05:31 That's right.

01:05:32 So, so there's a lot of issues with this. These Muslim leaders are just emboldened because again, 1.00

01:05:40 they know the democratic party is not going to hold them accountable they're not going to call 0.91

01:05:43 them out and ostracize them i don't know if we have time i mean we might not have time to like

01:05:49 really break this down but just the liner notes the footnotes on all of this so this is kind of

01:05:54 they're exploiting critical theory or critical race theory which is more uh you know familiar

01:05:59 to people they're exploiting this and they're they infiltrated themselves into this victim

01:06:05 hierarchy so they complain about islamophobia which is a complete farce it's just you know

01:06:10 anecdotal at best uh and they come in there and then they talk about tolerance well every muslim 0.99

01:06:16 majority community on the planet is intolerant towards jews and christians and other infidels 0.99

01:06:23 and they also are violators of human rights more than any other type of political society on earth 1.00

01:06:29 both essentially by just sheer numbers and predominance.

01:06:35 So them coming in here, it's almost laughable. 1.00

01:06:37 And they want to bring in Sharia law, which is not compatible with anything in Western 0.98

01:06:43 civilization in terms of respecting women's rights, respecting rights of minorities, I 0.55

01:06:49 mean, gay rights. 1.00

01:06:50 It shouldn't be compatible anywhere. 1.00

01:06:51 But it's individual rights, okay?

01:06:54 So I don't like necessarily breaking that down into those little subsets.

01:06:56 Human rights.

01:06:57 It's individual rights.

01:06:58 It's fine.

01:06:59 and you know everybody who's rational understands what that means equality under the law but harmeet

01:07:05 dylan comes along says hey uh white people have the same rights as gay people as black people as

01:07:10 trans people as everyone else and nobody has more rights than anybody else and they absolutely lose

01:07:16 it because it does not comport with their victim ideology the dei or the critical race theory or 0.98

01:07:22 anything else in their little brainwashing program that they have installed in every major educational

01:07:28 legal uh institution corporate america which we we've got a little bit of pushback there

01:07:34 thankfully woke woke one was crazy right aoc uh so you know we're going to see if this woke two

01:07:41 comes back but it seems like it will uh they're pissed about dei and um the the muslims they

01:07:49 they are attracted to this it i just see the democrat party is the party of foreign subversion

01:07:54 okay guys that's what it is uh it's it's a type of ideological compromise that opens us up to

01:08:00 foreign subversion uh they you know you look at code pink you we brought up bush earlier code pink 0.74

01:08:07 you know with neville singh overseas and in bed with the communist chinese use it as a vehicle 0.85

01:08:12 that's why you're not seeing the anti-war stuff i suppose you know it more than you know the

01:08:17 apac explanation i think is is uh you know maybe they thought there would be blowback it's all

01:08:22 politically calculated and expedient and you know so they are party foreign subversion you see that

01:08:29 with garcia you see that with you know they make all of these statements uh give give ukraine

01:08:34 unlimited funding and look i sympathize with ukrainians i have family there but you know

01:08:39 an unlimited blank check where it could get really bad if we keep pushing it pile you need to talk

01:08:44 about it we could stay on all day because now you see that they found all those like torture prisons

01:08:50 of the people in ukraine yeah i looked into that i'm i'm not sold i see conflicting info on that

01:08:56 but uh it wouldn't surprise me i i would i have some friends who work at the kiev post in something

01:09:03 i could really ask them about this because i'm i'm concerned about it me too but i'm not 100

01:09:09 sold because there's so active i haven't spoke about that on here yet uh you know like first

01:09:15 becoming aware of it last week and horrified and i haven't brought it up here yet because

01:09:19 I'm not sold yet. I want to see like how that shakes out. But, um, as far as what you're

01:09:25 saying, uh, I want to address EJ in the locals chat EJ and I have, we, we have so much affection

01:09:32 for each other. I love him to death. Um, so this is something I just want to point out to you guys.

01:09:37 So when I say like, I watched Tucker and you're like, Erica, but you know, listen, Tucker has no

01:09:43 issue with, you know, I guess is, I don't really know. I don't care. And you know, my number

01:09:49 one issue is Islam. So this is what I mean when I say, I don't agree with everything everyone says,

01:09:54 I can pick and choose the things I want to talk about. But EJ says, name one Muslim American that

01:10:01 has ever pushed for anti-gay or anti-women legislation. I'll wait. So listen, EJ, you have 0.99

01:10:08 to understand Islam, you are expected to do whatever you have to do to get people to just 0.71

01:10:18 believe you and then they institute and get all over in all positions of power and when they have 0.99

01:10:24 enough power all hell will break loose so they're not going to show their cards as openly right now

01:10:33 as they will once they take over so when you have a religion it's not a religion first of all when

01:10:39 you have a cult that's like you can lie cheat steal do whatever you want to fool people so they

01:10:47 have suicidal empathy for you and, you know, they, they make you afraid to speak up and then

01:10:53 we unleash the holy hell. Um, you know, it's a little naive to think that just because Ilhan

01:11:00 Omar doesn't like come out and say all the things while she's in office means that there's no

01:11:04 problem. There's a fricking problem. And, and as far as Sharia law, it shouldn't be compatible

01:11:10 anywhere because it is disgusting. Um, Oh, more syllable. Kill me if I don't get my sign out. 1.00

01:11:17 Um, and they're full of pedophiles and rape. Hmm. I can't say that word really, uh, that word. 1.00

01:11:25 And, um, it, it shouldn't be compatible anywhere. However, Florida just had to post a law saying

01:11:33 that you can't have Sharia law here. I mean, like we actually have to have laws now banning

01:11:38 sharia law in america there's a freaking problem yeah abdul el saeed he's on video i wrote it this

01:11:45 at red state uh where i freelance uh there's video of him going to oklahoma complaining about them

01:11:51 banning sharia uh there's also things about you know you you may not hate america it may hate

01:11:56 muslims but muslims hate you look it up it's abdul el saeed and uh he is somebody who like look at

01:12:03 dearborn michigan there is another video out of michigan there were some right-wingers i don't 0.94

01:12:08 don't know who they are specifically like i don't know those people who did this but they were

01:12:12 burning a quran and they for whatever reason it's america you can burn the flag apparently

01:12:18 so uh they are burning a quran according to the video and they were interviewing the guy in a 0.93

01:12:26 truck and he was saying oh i will straight up kill that mfer uh talking homicide murder you know and 0.87

01:12:34 your family um the thing is iran that adds up to the pattern flag right yeah exactly they'll burn 0.99

01:12:43 an american flag but the you know if you burn a koran you could be a mark for death and by the 0.55

01:12:48 way kyle they'll burn down your churches too we see that a lot and there are fingerprints in in a 0.99

01:12:55 lot of cases for muslims being complicit at a certain you know a great rate of doing that 0.96

01:13:01 So for me, I'm an international relations guy, comparative politics guy. 1.00

01:13:08 Look at every place on earth where Muslims get into the majority.

01:13:12 There's the best inductive evidence that you could possibly get. 1.00

01:13:17 Everywhere where they get the majority, minority rights go out the window. 0.99

01:13:22 That's right. 0.92

01:13:23 And so you don't have to take my subjective opinion about it.

01:13:28 Look at what the data says.

01:13:30 Look at what history says.

01:13:31 And so when they come in, I just explained why they make themselves out to be victims because the Democrat Party is set up as a sort of victim hierarchy.

01:13:41 It's like a victim Olympics.

01:13:43 And they get into this sort of framework.

01:13:46 They make themselves out to be victims, which they're not.

01:13:48 They're victimizers, according to history.

01:13:51 And by the numbers, I'm not saying every person. 0.99

01:13:54 I mean, I've had friends who are Muslims.

01:13:55 They're nice people.

01:13:56 This is not a personal rant.

01:13:58 Correct. 1.00

01:13:58 this is just statistics and evidence and reason and looking at the you know look at what islam is 0.84

01:14:05 like don't be ignorant and just be like well it's just another religion it's not just another

01:14:10 religion guys it's not it's not a judeo-christian religion it's not hinduism it's not buddhism 0.94

01:14:17 which are like sort of docile peaceful coexistence i mean look at india so we have evidence

01:14:23 of Hinduism and Buddhism coexisting with each other. They don't like typically, I'm sure there's

01:14:30 some historical evidence of some conflicts, but they don't really like go to major war with each

01:14:34 other. Islam, completely opposite story. They go to war with almost every culture that surrounds 0.92

01:14:41 their region. The thing about Israel, for example, I know there's a lot of people who are just like

01:14:46 singling out Israel for a lot of criticism. They're behaving, in my opinion, like a nation

01:14:51 state that tries to maximize their leverage with other states and try to use levers you may know i

01:14:56 don't like it as an american in some ways but they have been single they're a tiny strip of territory 0.97

01:15:03 and every you know what five to ten years these muslim states gang up on them and try to like 0.99

01:15:09 wipe them off the map like eradicate them recreate the holocaust i don't know what your like 0.69

01:15:16 opinion, you don't have to have like a strong opinion about the nature of Judaism. You don't 0.72

01:15:22 have to have a theological debate to go, well, that's kind of wrong that they want to commit

01:15:26 Jewish genocide against another country. So you don't really have to get into a qualitative debate

01:15:30 of whether you like a religion or not. You just have to note, Muslims do not like people who 1.00

01:15:35 don't believe in Islam, and they will periodically attack them, persecute them, stone them, 1.00

01:15:41 throw them off the buildings, blow up churches and or just, you know, kids having a concert. 0.99

01:15:50 Imagine that if you were in Texas and there was a concert and you went there and some unhinged 0.99

01:15:56 Muslim decides that, you know, you know, with Hamas or some some actual terror group. And there 0.99

01:16:02 have been cases similar to this in the past. We've had attacks in Texas, for goodness sake. Right.

01:16:07 And they had like something on the scale of the October 7th attack. You probably would

01:16:11 change your opinion i would think so anyways erica i i'm someone who i who i believe in my

01:16:20 core like i love thomas jefferson he's like my one of my favorite thinkers you know so you know

01:16:25 i've got him in the background maybe up here but uh he's one of my favorite thinkers and he was in

01:16:30 virginia haney he he directed this amazing uh doctrine it was a memorial memorial remonstrance

01:16:38 against religious assessments. I love this document, but it's actually very reasonable,

01:16:44 but it's only within sort of the context of we have religious Christian sects in America who

01:16:51 are disagreeing with each other, whether you're talking about the Quakers and Jesuits or whoever.

01:16:58 And so that the framework is meant for Christians. And when you have something that is in top,

01:17:04 like you would expect and i mean look this comes out of religious strife in europe where christians

01:17:10 were killing each other's you know reformation counter-reformation all of this stuff they learned

01:17:14 from that you know uh treaty westphalia we don't have to walk down memory lane that far i suppose

01:17:21 but we we took that experience out of europe we implemented that into the framework of the united

01:17:26 states with the idea that christians would not be killing each other over different beliefs that's

01:17:31 I said, not the same thing, not the same environment.

01:17:34 And like, look, it's the same guy, you know, Barbary pirates, right?

01:17:37 And there are documents, you know, like these guys are savages, right?

01:17:41 And they also, they still traffic in human slavery and so forth, even to this day. 0.68

01:17:46 And so you have to understand that it was talking about Christians and Christian values,

01:17:54 which are forgiveness and being respectful toward one another, caring about each other,

01:18:00 love thy neighbor right turn the other cheek and this can be taken too far you don't have to turn 0.99

01:18:05 the cheek against people who are trying to kill you we're trying to cut your throat and so you

01:18:10 have the right to self-defense god uh you just read the old testament to to see like you know

01:18:15 you talk about the philistines and so forth you know and joshua and you know the the christianity

01:18:22 also has its military side and in its history and they fought people who are trying to kill them

01:18:29 persecute them uh you know suppress them uh so enslave them and so we can't be having this sort

01:18:39 of one-sided understanding of christianity and what it means it also means standing up for yourself

01:18:45 standing up for god standing up for the bible and standing for something because if you don't stand

01:18:52 for something you're going to fall for anything right as the old phrase goes we can't be falling 1.00

01:18:57 for this Takiyah, this sort of dishonesty that Muslim leaders who are now emboldened 1.00

01:19:05 are telling us to our face, just believe them. And I do. 1.00

01:19:08 I believe them. I've always believed them. I've watched them do what they say. And it was a slow

01:19:16 burn for a while, or as Scott would say, a slow-moving disaster until it wasn't, because now

01:19:22 they're everywhere. And for those of you that follow me on X, I don't like to give my X handle

01:19:27 out on here. I know some people have asked, but for those of you that follow me on X, you saw a

01:19:31 post I made the other day where there's a woman walking her dog in New York and these two, I think

01:19:40 two, one for sure, Muslim cop. I don't know why he stopped her. Everybody's looked into it and

01:19:49 they can't find out why. And, you know, listen, they hate your dogs. Okay. They would, they would

01:19:56 say your dog should be dead and shouldn't exist. And they should never be out in public or on a

01:20:01 street that they're, they're like anti dog. Like you can't believe. So I am so, I know it sounds

01:20:10 dumb if you don't know me, but if you know me and you know how much I love animals, I am so worried

01:20:14 about the dogs in our country. I can't even tell like so much that I would be so afraid to have a 0.98

01:20:19 dog in one of these cities and be out walking them. But this guy, actually, this cop holds her

01:20:26 arm. He's holding this woman's arm, takes the leash out of her hand. Now he has the leash of

01:20:33 her dog in his hand. Nobody knows why and what he's doing. But I was like, this poor freaking

01:20:39 innocent dog is at the end of this leash some dog hater is holding the leash and holding the owner's

01:20:45 arm and you know i was just like so horrified and saddened because this is this is the norm now i 0.72

01:20:54 mean you have islamic uh cops now in all these cities and they don't care and they have a whole 0.79

01:21:01 different set of rules because they don't believe in the american law if you if you are islamic you 0.97

01:21:07 do not believe in our laws period so once again you can lie and your way through life for islam 0.85

01:21:17 so yes let's take positions of powers politics police now they're now they're they're in charge 0.90

01:21:24 and they're doing their own rules and nobody's going to stop them because of suicidal empathy

01:21:30 and being called a racist because the people that are in charge are either also islamists like 1.00

01:21:36 mandami or they're a bunch of pussies so take your pick sure and you just have to think about 1.00

01:21:43 this logically just a little thought experiment try to think of a devout muslim believer that 1.00

01:21:49 would put american law above islam do you think that that's very likely i don't think it's very

01:21:54 likely at all never oh my god we could go on and on and on um it was a great conversation with you

01:22:01 you today, Kyle. I'm so glad. Like, let's do it again. I like this one-on-one too also. So it's

01:22:07 just good to like really have a great conversation. Yeah. And I'm sorry about the audio. We actually

01:22:12 just, we keep trying to troubleshoot this and we get a little bit, a little bit of issues. Hopefully

01:22:16 it wasn't really that noticeable today, but we're going to keep working on it to try to get it

01:22:20 perfect. Um, but so I, I, I hope you bear with me, like just listening and getting the main points

01:22:28 And I'm sorry about that.

01:22:29 I was just trying to figure this out.

01:22:31 It was perfect.

01:22:32 It was good.

01:22:32 Like I wear the little earbuds.

01:22:34 Kyle doesn't have those, but you've been amazing.

01:22:36 Like we're doing like walkie talkies, like he's hitting mute when I talk.

01:22:40 So you don't hear me echo too much, but it was, oh, good.

01:22:43 Everybody said it was fine.

01:22:44 Did you guys love Kyle being here?

01:22:46 He's so informative.

01:22:48 And I love, you know, I love that for me, for Kyle, Marcella, Owen, we all have different

01:22:55 opinions. And, you know, I think you guys love us all equally. Right. But it just shows you that

01:23:01 we don't have to have like the same mindset. I think as long as we all love our country

01:23:07 and we want what's best for our country and the rule of law, by the way, then it kind of doesn't

01:23:14 matter how you get there. But, you know, that's where I stand. I'm America first, always baby.

01:23:19 no that's awesome and i love when you disagree it's so good because

01:23:23 i like it when you like like disagreed with me a bit because i like getting both sides of it and

01:23:30 and just like okay here it is now we're actually having a good discussion and we don't want to be

01:23:35 like group we don't want to have group think yeah here and uh so no that's awesome i love hearing

01:23:41 your opinions erica you know you're thoughtful and you know not exactly the same as me but

01:23:46 We share some viewpoint similarities, I suppose.

01:23:50 Oh, first of all.

01:23:51 But no, your audience is great.

01:23:52 And I just want to thank the listeners here, Scott Adams, for people who are just left with some great reviews of my book, which I care about because I want it to be uplifting and inspiring and imaginative and creative.

01:24:06 It's not about, it's not about shilling things, even though, you know, you're, you know, even

01:24:11 Scott would say that, you know, you're sort of almost obligated to your publisher to bring

01:24:15 this stuff up, but, but no, anyways, thank you guys.

01:24:19 And I look forward to, I mean, I love your comments.

01:24:22 I like hearing from you guys.

01:27:09 of kyle becker an author whose stories have reached tens of millions of readers comes a

01:27:16 A fantasy epic for our time.

01:27:19 A world of crumbling empires, each on the verge of destruction as their societies unravel.

01:27:27 The Kingdom of Hypernia, a decaying monarchy believed to have a cursed prince whose black

01:27:34 eyes foretold the scourge that has ruined the land since his birth.

01:27:40 the Republic of Aerys, whose Griffins fight in ferocious trials to define their ranks

01:27:46 and their fates. Amid palace intrigues and sinister plots, the heroic Griffin, Enix,

01:27:54 charts his course to become one of the Five Guardians or watch his Republic fall to treasonous

01:28:01 betrayal. The anarchic world of Lunastria, where Moondrakes are scattered in the shadows. 0.95

01:28:09 Gorgeous, but deadly serpents whose homeland has never recovered from war.

01:28:14 The mysterious fairy world of the could-be,

01:28:18 whose unknown potential could be unlocked by a magical gift given from a mother to her son.

01:28:25 Amidst civil war and ravaging disease, social decay, and a fading hope for renewal,

01:28:33 a prince sets out in exile from his threatened kingdom,

01:28:36 seeking an answer to the upheaval that has struck the world of Solarius.

01:28:42 Prince Sigismund and a band of unlikely allies

01:28:45 are now tasked with holding together a kingdom under siege

01:28:50 by the evil Dread Commander and his legions of Shadow Dragons.

01:28:56 Hypernia, the Cursed Kingdom, is now available for the order on Amazon

01:29:01 and it is coming soon to fine book retailers.

01:29:11 that oh that is so cool

01:29:13 I uh no that's yeah

01:29:15 it took so long for me to do

01:29:17 that but I actually showed that to a

01:29:19 director who worked it at uh works

01:29:21 at Amazon or he works with them he

01:29:23 said it was actually really good he gave me some great tips on that

01:29:25 by the way like I wouldn't have done as

01:29:27 well if I just did that cold

01:29:28 but he said it was really good as a concept

01:30:05 And thank you so much, Kyle Becker.

01:30:08 You guys make sure also your YouTube channel is Beckerbrief or The Beckerbrief.

01:30:14 It's just Beckerbrief on YouTube, but it's at my profile on X.

01:30:17 So that's the easiest link.

01:30:19 I can't do it in the chat or I would, but-

01:30:21 I'll post it for everybody.

01:30:22 Yeah.

01:30:23 Oh, sweet.

01:30:24 Thank you.

01:30:25 Yeah, perfect.

01:30:26 You guys are too sweet.

01:30:27 I mean, really, you've been too good to me.

01:30:28 Thank you.

01:30:29 Well, you can leave us a review also.

01:30:30 I will.

01:30:31 I will share this when it comes out.

01:30:32 Thank you.

01:30:33 Of course.

01:30:34 it's out right now sweet beautiful all right kyle i'll boot you out and i'll say my final goodbye

01:30:41 to everyone thank you so much uh love kyle that was fun today you know you kind of never know

01:30:48 where the show is gonna go but here we are jim courtney i know we miss scott rob i know we're

01:30:55 not him we're not trying to be him lord knows okay so you guys how about a little akira we're going

01:31:03 for the whole thing today. I had an idea of what song I wanted to do, and now I forget. Let me see.

01:31:11 Oh, no. That one's a downer for me right now. Okay. Let's do

01:31:21 the perfect MC. God bless. You guys are so cute. All right, you guys, did anyone drop a song? I'm

01:31:26 trying to find one. Let's see. How about repetition and simplicity? I don't even remember. I don't

01:31:35 know what the titles go to the song. I just know it when I hear it. So let's take a stab.

01:31:39 Okay, here we go.

01:31:56 because your brain will get bored of the sameness so you need to trigger memory and attention

01:32:02 contrast is a way to get people to move from where they are to where you want them to be

01:32:08 you just say well it's much much less expensive than this so contrast is one of the most important

01:32:15 buttons use contrast often hey you don't want to be this bad you could be over here

01:32:22 No repetition and simplicity, our brains are just simple machines.

01:32:29 No repetition and simplicity, our brains are just simple machines.

01:32:34 The more you repeat, the more the wiring gets solidified.

01:32:38 No repetition and simplicity, our brains are just simple machines.

01:32:45 And if you keep things simple, the brain can process it and deal with it.

01:32:49 And if you keep things simple, the brain can process it and deal with it.

01:32:55 If it's complicated, your brain has a tendency to just flush it out.

01:33:00 Can't deal with it. Flush it out.

01:33:06 The fake because is a form of pseudo-logic.

01:33:10 sometimes you need to get people moving with a fake reason that doesn't even actually pass

01:33:18 logical standards but people don't need logical reasons just look at politics

01:33:24 people have incredibly different opinions and many of them are smart so if you've got smart

01:33:34 people on opposite sides of basically every issue you can see that they don't need real reason

01:33:41 we're not a species that operates on real reasons we just we'll take a fake reason we'll take one

01:33:49 we made up we'll take a guess we'll follow our friends once you understand that people don't

01:33:55 need real reasons it frees you because if you're locked in a little world at a lower level of

01:34:01 awareness where you say, well, I'm not going to convince somebody unless I have a real reason.

01:34:08 Sorry, that's not the reality any of us live in. Real reasons are good. If you have them,

01:34:13 use them, but we don't need them. Real reasons are good. If you have them, use them, but we don't

01:34:19 need them. Real reasons are good. If you have them, use them, but we don't need them. Once you

01:34:27 you don't need them and the reality and be authored you're in better shape repetition and simplicity

01:34:34 our brains are just simple machines repetition and simplicity our brains are just simple machines

01:34:42 the more you repeat the more the wiring gets solidified

01:34:48 repetition and simplicity our brains are just simple machines

01:34:52 Repetition and simplicity

01:34:55 Our brains are just simple machines

01:34:58 Repetition and simplicity

01:35:00 Our brains are just simple machines

01:35:03 The more you repeat

01:35:04 The more the wiring gets solidified

01:35:07 Repetition and simplicity

01:35:11 Our brains are just simple machines

01:35:14 Our brains are just simple machines

01:35:20 Repetition and simplicity

01:35:22 I like it. Okay. So thank you so, so much. You guys love you so much. Um, I hope you enjoyed

01:35:31 my rant about my opinions. I can't help it sometimes. You know what? I am here every day

01:35:37 and sometimes I have things to say. What can I tell you? Oh my gosh. Okay. Roger. I don't know

01:35:45 what that means, but he'll be here Thursday morning for a little bit. And let me see. Thank

01:35:52 you for everything bookish. Thank you so much. Akira makes me happy too. He is so talented. And

01:35:57 you know, it's funny, you guys, I listened to the replay of the show just to, you know, every day,

01:36:03 you guys, I then listened to the replay of the show and then I read the comments on both and,

01:36:09 you know, just so I can be on top of things and make sure that we're meeting your needs.

01:36:15 But when you listen to the Akira song at the end, I listened to it really fast.
