Rebel News Podcast - ANDREW CHAPADOS ｜ The Dutch Farmer Rebellion & The Culture War ｜ Keean Bexte, Ian Miles Cheong, Casey Rocket ｜ Andrew Says 81

00:00:00.000 welcome back to a very special andrew says every episode is very special but this one's extra

00:00:10.680 special we've got the kian bexty live from the netherlands whereabouts are you at kian can you

00:00:15.860 tell us i am east of amsterdam i can't pronounce a single town country so i'm not gonna uh try but

00:00:25.960 yeah just about two hours east of amsterdam right now kian bexty the countersignal.com is where you

00:00:31.880 can find the stuff of course and tell everybody what you're doing there there's their own version

00:00:36.320 of a trucker rebellion going on we know you're very busy we've got you for a few minutes tractors

00:00:41.000 blocking highways i think boats are blocking ports tell us what's going on there yeah so there's uh

00:00:47.840 nationwide outrage after uh the prime minister of this this country uh um instituted a sweeping

00:00:58.460 mandate to reduce nitrogen um pollution which will reduce uh farm production uh the nitrogen pollution

00:01:08.760 they want to cut in half by 2030 which will destroy tens of thousands of good farming jobs in this

00:01:16.100 country uh small farms will have to pack up and move to a different country if they want to stay

00:01:21.280 in operation at all which is obviously very difficult for a farm uh so these farmers have

00:01:26.800 taken to the streets the roads and grocery distribution centers to blockade everything

00:01:33.100 that they can to show people what it will look like when they're not in operation anymore so those

00:01:39.880 images i saw of the empty grocery stores those are because because of the blockades that are going on

00:01:44.780 right now yes uh they're uh the blockades are slowly being ripped down and broken up by the police

00:01:54.440 officers here in this country um but over the past two or three days um blockades at the border and at

00:02:03.680 distribution centers have caused grocery stores to run out of stock in many places have you gotten a

00:02:10.180 chance to speak to any any of the protesters yet and what are they saying um so far i'm yet i've yet to

00:02:19.920 speak with someone in person who can speak english um the ones that i have been speaking to online have

00:02:26.700 slowly disappeared over time uh over the last couple hours um six to six to ten hours they have just

00:02:35.060 gone dark and i'm not sure exactly why that is if they've been arrested by the police or what i

00:02:40.940 hopefully will get an answer on that soon um but the police have made a lot of arrests over the last

00:02:46.540 little while here so uh once they get bailed out and are able to speak to the media again we'll see

00:02:53.120 exactly what happened kian as you're aware and as you covered we saw a lot of this commercial

00:02:59.720 stoppages in canada earlier this year coot and the ontario michigan border um or new york border

00:03:07.540 excuse me and do you what's your opinion on this do you think that at some point the citizens have

00:03:13.820 to step up and say enough or do you think that you know blocking a border for example or blocking

00:03:19.800 these commercial motorways is unnecessary do you think people should be hitting the voting booths

00:03:25.440 instead to make sure that their politicians don't institute things that you know put in these

00:03:29.640 carbon initiatives how do you feel about that position i'm not going to say what they they

00:03:34.560 should or shouldn't do i'm just here to share their story uh fairly because mainstream media isn't doing

00:03:40.640 that you you know as well as i do they didn't do it for the canadians and they're not doing it

00:03:44.580 for these farmers either uh what i do see is a very similar sentiment between those protesters and these

00:03:51.640 protesters they're saying very similar things they're frustrated with uh globalist policy that's

00:03:57.880 been dictated by the world economic forum by klaus schwab they're frustrated by these liberal elites

00:04:04.880 from the big cities deciding uh how they can manage their business if they're even allowed to do business

00:04:11.300 as you remember the convoy uh in canada they were being shut down they were told they had to

00:04:16.480 uh turn off turn turn the keys off and step away from their trucks if they were unvaccinated 0.55

00:04:21.600 and the same thing is happening here you you'll you'll remember i i think it was um maybe it was

00:04:29.280 ezra actually they that was saying you know right now it was vaccine mandates soon it's going to be

00:04:34.860 climate mandates and that's exactly what's happening here it's climate mandates they say they need to

00:04:40.880 reduce nitrogen pollution by a certain amount so you're allowed to farm you're allowed to farm but

00:04:45.280 not you not you not you not you and those people are really frustrated by that obviously these

00:04:50.980 are generational farms farms that have been operating since before world war one uh for for generations

00:04:58.020 and generations and this liberal uh globalist prime minister root is saying nope time to pack it in

00:05:06.840 uh you're done and that's not acceptable to a lot of these people kean i think you're the first guy

00:05:13.700 there in any of the real like western media what made you decide to to jump on this and go so quickly

00:05:21.820 much like we sent avia mini and lewis brackpool to switzerland did you just sort of feel like this was

00:05:27.720 going to be a thing where people weren't going to cover it properly or honestly in the mainstream

00:05:31.820 media so you thought i better get there quickly before anybody else you know puts another like

00:05:37.520 basically controls the narrative sort of thing and that way you can get the truth out before people

00:05:42.100 have a chance to do that yeah i had uh i put out a tweet showing their border blockades and uh i didn't

00:05:49.880 really think much of it tweeted it out went to sleep woke up the next morning and it had exploded it was

00:05:55.820 retweeted like 20 000 times and i was like what what is this i had hardly even heard about it uh until i

00:06:01.760 tweeted about it but i saw that there was a huge amount of interest in the story and all the replies

00:06:06.920 were like thank you for sharing this we didn't know this was happening the mainstream media didn't tell

00:06:10.480 us that this was happening uh the cbc is not here the bbc is not here they're leaving it to a corrupt

00:06:16.840 local media to uh to shut down these farmers to label them as extremists uh but it's not extreme

00:06:25.320 to want to keep your farm it's not extreme to want to keep a job so you know when i saw that response i

00:06:31.260 knew you know a good story for us uh there's a few parts to it but the main part of it is that people

00:06:37.920 are desperately interested to know what's going on and the second part is the mainstream media

00:06:42.460 is purposefully ignoring it or maliciously lying about that and uh everything sort of crossed over

00:06:48.840 perfectly here so that's why i decided to come out it was it was tough to get here um you need to be

00:06:54.760 vaccinated and boosted to get into this country but luckily the canadian embassy saw fit to grant me

00:07:01.160 uh it's a weird diplomatic document but they they granted me access to the country to do this

00:07:08.180 journalism which i appreciate i don't think justin trudeau would have done that for other people

00:07:12.740 during the freedom convoy but i guess that's the one positive that i've seen from this government so

00:07:18.180 far now do you predict anything when you come back to canada you were notoriously put in the the

00:07:24.740 covet hotels upon your return here from a reporting trip do you predict any trouble given to you

00:07:30.900 and follow-up question to that and then i'll let you go have you thought about leaving canada yet

00:07:36.220 i know there's a lot of people who are doing reporting a lot of or sorry doing a lot of

00:07:40.200 reporting around the world who are going and visiting to cover stories places and they don't

00:07:44.680 want to come back to canada because you know we still have all these rules in place even this far

00:07:49.280 down the line we're up there with like china and north korea and such and it's going to at least

00:07:53.880 september still have you thought about any of that do you think anything's going to happen when you

00:07:57.780 come back or have you thought about you know becoming this person who reports abroad permanently

00:08:03.520 you know i don't want to leave i would leave canada but i wouldn't want to leave alberta

00:08:09.080 um it's too nice of a place i mean the netherlands great it was nice getting off their canada flight

00:08:15.620 because even while we were in the airport nobody was wearing a mask um planes leaving planes coming

00:08:22.360 nobody's wearing a mask the only people that are wearing a mask uh and they look like a bunch of

00:08:26.680 just government i i probably shouldn't swear on the program you can say they uh you know there's

00:08:37.080 canadians get off planes and they're wearing masks they look like a bunch of idiots you know nobody's 0.99

00:08:41.900 wearing them anymore because they know that they're not effective not in airports not in planes unless

00:08:46.340 you're canadian on an air canada or or west jet flight so you know it's embarrassing really but

00:08:52.220 uh you know i think alberta has a lot a lot worth uh alberta's a great place i wouldn't want to leave

00:08:57.700 it i might leave every now and then to cover things like this but i'm not all right key and bexy the

00:09:02.960 countersignal.com you're really killing it out there good sir um i applaud you i think everybody's

00:09:07.900 noticed that your journalistic instinct on this one is correct and you're going to be leading the

00:09:12.280 story and uh just like things that happened in ottawa and coots and windsor and stuff everybody's

00:09:18.340 got to spearhead it just like it happens in in the u.s for these riots and everything and i think

00:09:23.140 you'll do a great job doing it thanks for joining us kian anything else you want to say i would be

00:09:27.940 remiss if i didn't mention where people could see the coverage it is at the countersignal.com but you

00:09:31.920 could also go to dutch uprising.com to check out it's just a breakdown of all the stories that we've put

00:09:37.020 out while i'm here so uh be great to go check that out and uh let's stay in touch

00:09:41.840 all right thanks a lot key and have a good one stay safe okay

00:09:44.740 joining me now writer extraordinary ian miles chong and comedian this guy's so funny casey

00:10:00.040 rocket who i think is from texas or are you from somewhere else and when i saw you you were in texas

00:10:04.040 uh i'm from atlanta georgia yeah i'm from atlanta so yeah how would you describe yourself casey as a

00:10:15.640 comedian very spastic um energetic uh-huh yeah that sounds about right yeah it sounds good to me

00:10:24.780 yeah energetic we'll throw up some energy yeah he i just i don't know so it's on this show for

00:10:35.620 those who don't know called kill tony it's a podcast where they have stand-up comedians come

00:10:39.920 up and do a minute and casey is known around there and he was just so like some people you fast forward

00:10:45.720 through other people you watch only uh some parts of them but it's just so funny just so wild up there

00:10:51.940 and i want to get into i want to bring them on to get them into the ecosystem of you know hard

00:10:57.920 hitting politics um so the first thing i want to talk to you guys about was we're seeing a lot of

00:11:04.200 stuff right now um that i want to mention from female celebrities starting to talk about how you 1.00

00:11:12.020 know how there's a lot of issues around transgender things and how uh they they're they're kind of tired

00:11:17.640 of this whole um idea that their spaces can be taken usually athletics is what comes up first

00:11:24.020 and i wrote down bet midler was one and she's usually you know a little bit uh a little bit out

00:11:29.060 there and now even she's saying that you you can't be taking away women's spaces you had this 0.99

00:11:35.100 uh form people probably don't remember macy gray but maybe they do she was on piers morgan 0.97

00:11:39.660 talking about how you can't just get surgeries and become a woman it's a whole experience

00:11:44.080 ian i'll start with you do you think this is a whole like do you think this is going to snowball

00:11:48.240 or do you think this is just people getting the the voices they want out there to be elevated in this

00:11:52.880 you know sort of argument or do you think we're sort of seeing a trend in this direction

00:11:56.460 who wants to go first i guess i should go first since the camera's on me well i think that people

00:12:04.180 are finally standing up they're seeing other people do it obviously you know you have people

00:12:08.060 like jordan peterson ben shapiro uh and us obviously uh coming out uh talking about these

00:12:14.280 things and you know for the longest time maybe for years now we've been uh slandered defamed as

00:12:19.340 transphobes as bigots because we were not you know fully embracing the uh the pluses in the lgbtq plus

00:12:26.780 ideology right now you know it's quite clear that women's spaces are being invaded and you know it's it's 0.94

00:12:33.200 it's all well and good to say that women need empowerment and certainly they do there's been a

00:12:37.000 glass ceiling for the longest time but decades maybe even centuries and no one's going to deny

00:12:41.300 that you know up until say the 21st century women have taken a back seat when it comes to 1.00

00:12:46.280 well literally everything right i mean women's achievements have been marginalized in science 0.51

00:12:50.380 and education and so on now you know you're finally getting that recognition and despite the advances

00:12:56.220 that have been made uh you have you know it's like the activists and i'm not talking about you know

00:13:00.660 suffragettes or feminists and say the 1960s sort of 50s but rather the activists nowadays have sort of

00:13:06.580 run out of things to uh to promote so they're promoting uh transgenderism they're promoting 0.93

00:13:11.440 this drag queen story hour stuff and you know they're promoting bdsm and kink as sort of lifestyles 0.97

00:13:17.700 and identities and they're pushing the boundaries to the point where it's making a lot of uh people

00:13:22.080 in the center right people in the center left it's becoming very uncomfortable for them because you're

00:13:26.300 seeing what's happening to people like say jk rowling who was probably one of the largest names the

00:13:31.540 biggest names to speak out against this and she's being attacked left and right she's faced death

00:13:36.580 threats i mean this past week alone somebody threatened to send her a pipe bomb uh put her 0.99

00:13:40.820 address online encouraging other people to do so and they're tired of it they're speaking up and

00:13:46.100 they're speaking out and it's good to see more women doing this especially high profile names like 1.00

00:13:51.660 macy gray you know i mean she used to be big ones upon a time but we're seeing more and more as even

00:13:56.460 bett middler of all people came out this weekend to condemn this erasure of women i mean you don't

00:14:03.540 see men being referred to as a penis havers or ejaculators right i mean there's no funny uh term for

00:14:10.980 men right men are just called men whereas women are called things like uterus havers or or uh baby

00:14:16.620 making machines i mean you might as well just call them baby making machines at this one it's

00:14:19.660 misogynistic and yet that is somehow the politically correct way to define a woman when you have like 0.84

00:14:25.180 politicians like elizabeth warren and alexandria ocasio-cortez saying women and uterus havers

00:14:31.480 it's like what are you doing you know they're stop calling them that they're just women just women 0.87

00:14:35.460 just keep it simple casey do you think there's a pressure in entertainment industry to sort of go

00:14:41.300 with whatever is the majority opinion basically on mainstream news and social media and everything

00:14:47.440 or do you think there's more of a leniency now to people who just want to have their own opinion

00:14:51.540 no matter how wild that may be um uh a pressure in what sense to be like politically correct is

00:15:04.340 that what you're asking uh yeah in some ways but in you know and stand up and things like that it's

00:15:12.280 sort of its own little little bubble you know i mean as far as like there's a lot of things that just

00:15:19.060 don't really leak into the end of the stand-up world you know i think it's one of the last places

00:15:26.780 where people kind of don't really worry about the things that they're saying as much i think uh

00:15:35.220 pc culture and things like that don't really affect stand-up as much as people think they do

00:15:39.560 um uh you know i don't know man if i'm really the right person to be asking

00:15:43.700 about any of this i kind of just go on stage and talk about drinking robot testing and stuff so i'm

00:15:49.220 not i'm not i'm not quite sure how well first i am this is why you're here to make me seem funnier

00:15:55.460 to make my program seem funnier um do you does any of that i guess you kind of answered it but does

00:16:03.120 any of that stuff sort of like leak into people and i know it happens in here here in toronto maybe

00:16:07.600 it doesn't happen as much in georgia and texas uh the comedians i talked to here say it happens

00:16:11.900 where it sort of leaks in where people don't want you to tell jokes about certain things

00:16:15.860 but if i'm hearing you correctly you're saying it it doesn't really take an effect on comedians

00:16:20.980 in in your area at least where you feel pressured to not tell jokes about certain things

00:16:25.400 oh it's not uh texas is really really weird texas is uh yeah the comedians really don't care

00:16:34.900 what uh in other parts of the country so i lived in boise idaho for a while

00:16:39.900 wow and you would think uh idaho is a really you i you would think it was a liberal place but it's

00:16:47.100 really really conservative so in that place yeah there was a lot of things you couldn't joke about

00:16:52.940 um a lot of things but in texas you'd be shocked with some of the people talk about any given open

00:17:01.260 mic it's like a free for all so it really there's certain areas where that happens seattle is really

00:17:06.900 conservative as far as material you can talk about and you'll get like blacklisted if you talk about

00:17:12.280 certain things but not in texas no we all talk about you know whatever man freaking putting vicodin in

00:17:18.680 your dick hole dude it's a good time uh i don't know so you live in texas now yeah and did you yeah i live 0.96

00:17:30.040 in austin yeah i've lived all over the place did you move out there for the whole comedian boom or

00:17:35.520 were you already there no i moved out here for the boom i lived in my car for a while i i uh i lived in

00:17:45.380 a i was in idaho so i'm from georgia and i moved out here like a year ago and yeah for the whole boom

00:17:52.640 uh joe rogan's club and everything which hasn't opened yet but yeah there's just a lot of comics moved

00:17:58.840 out here and stuff like that it's it's like the wild west right now it's a free for all out here

00:18:03.560 it's really fun a lot of crazy stuff going on but uh yeah i think most people if they spend a couple

00:18:09.380 days at open mics they would be shocked that uh the pc culture really doesn't that whole argument

00:18:13.640 really is not hardly affecting anything right now well i'm glad to hear it it's not true in new york

00:18:20.100 city where you know if you make jokes like that or even in miami i know a couple of uh comedians in

00:18:25.200 miami like esther coo you should have her on the show by the way uh they can get canceled they can 1.00

00:18:30.100 literally get canceled for talking about trans issues if they talk about you know uh the former

00:18:34.080 the actress formerly known as ellen page who is now elliot page if you make a joke about elliot page

00:18:38.740 then you're screwed you know i mean all they have to do is post uh some of your material on social media

00:18:43.660 and you're getting blacklisted from the clubs and it's it's that bad in some places unfortunately

00:18:49.860 yeah let's talk about that um dave rubin or jordan peterson got suspended from twitter for referring

00:18:55.640 to ellen page as elliot page and then dave rubin got suspended for saying that jordan peterson got

00:19:02.700 suspended even though he didn't mention the name elliot page we're dead naming here this is very serious

00:19:09.420 offense on twitter i think that is genocide ian i thought we were getting i thought we were getting

00:19:16.660 away from this with the whole elon thing i thought things were supposed to be getting better on twitter

00:19:20.460 i mean he hasn't taken the company over yet for the first uh you know first month i would say

00:19:25.520 i definitely saw huge growth uh on my platform a lot of people did i think when twitter started uh you

00:19:31.820 know scaling back on its moderation policies but i see that twitter's back to its old you know its old

00:19:37.440 roots and it started banning people again suspending people again for just uh minor infractions and so

00:19:43.160 you know it's kind of hard to tell what's really going on at twitter i hope that the uh the deal

00:19:48.280 has not fallen through i hope that you know he like he has expressed that he will be going through

00:19:53.300 with it it's just taking a lot of time right so i think we're just gonna have to wait and see what

00:19:57.580 really happens but for the time being now it looks like twitter's back to enforcing it's very strict uh

00:20:03.420 i wouldn't say strict right it's very one-sided uh speech policies that prevent you from dead naming

00:20:09.140 or misgendering i mean you can totally celebrate uh sending a pipe bomb to jk rowling that's not

00:20:13.780 going to get you banned but the instant you dead name someone that that's it for you you know your

00:20:18.160 account is getting locked casey how much of an emphasis are comics using or putting on social

00:20:25.820 media these days i don't see nearly i don't see nearly as many on twitter anymore i mean ryan long just

00:20:32.600 got uh deleted off of tiktok i believe and i don't think he puts anything worse out there than

00:20:37.680 anybody else does is there do you still think there's a big reliance on social media to get your

00:20:42.480 your act out there even if it's in these short clips like on instagram and stuff oh yeah yeah it's

00:20:50.580 it's a big thing yeah but comedy's in a weird place where there's no one way to to make it anymore you

00:20:58.380 know used to be like johnny carson uh things like that like if you get on late night you're good like

00:21:03.540 you can make a career but now you kind of have to build your fans slowly one by one on social media

00:21:09.680 so yeah it is a big platform so if you were to get taken off of it for doing something like you know

00:21:16.320 saying something that would be highly detrimental to your to your career especially in the beginning

00:21:21.780 so yeah yeah it's a big deal uh tiktok things like that youtube youtube.com uh youtube.com

00:21:31.240 yeah big youtube.com haven't heard of that one yet did you say babylon b got banned from uh tiktok

00:21:40.620 unceremoniously not even given an explanation for why they were banned yeah they were banned a few like

00:21:47.660 last week yeah last week well speaking of uh banning on banning i was reading earlier

00:21:53.060 that uh spotify of course they had the whole joe rogan fiasco and um the the musicians crosby

00:22:00.560 stills and nash and i believe uh neil young separately um they all went off of it but now

00:22:05.660 they're back they've i guess not so silently snuck back on and what i wanted to ask you casey is do you

00:22:11.300 think that it's the place of these platforms to determine who and who shouldn't be on here

00:22:16.360 entertainment wise i mean r kelly's never been kicked off spotify i want to point that out

00:22:20.460 um despite everything over the years but i see musicians uh having songs deleted and all these

00:22:27.960 obviously these musicians um and they're legends they want to see these platforms do something

00:22:33.080 in their opinion like kick off joe rogan was the demand essentially do you think it's the place

00:22:37.720 of like spotify and twitter and instagram to determine which entertainment is safe and which isn't

00:22:42.920 no absolutely not but you know crosby stills and nash fucking sucks so you can take them off uh 0.98

00:22:51.240 just kidding they're fine but yeah it's like lame boy music the sad boy music i'm just kidding i

00:22:58.100 like it uh uh yeah man whatever i yeah i definitely think that's a yeah that's an injustice what

00:23:06.400 why did they take them off crosby stills and that oh they left because spotify didn't oh they

00:23:10.700 yes yes yes now they're back what a bunch of cucks yeah a bunch of beta cucks man unbelievable

00:23:19.580 and joni mitchell left too right some other people i've seen this happen yeah yeah that's weird man

00:23:26.860 i don't think that's the right response i think also if people you know i don't know i don't know

00:23:32.960 i'll leave it at that but yeah i think it's a that's a stupid response you know freedom of speech

00:23:38.240 and all that is that a david bowie poster what he wants yeah david bowie's hanging out back there

00:23:43.940 freaking chief and a damn big cigarette yeah a lot of fun stuff in here scatman john's back there

00:23:49.460 you see a little scatman i love scatman john yeah i'm very familiar with scatman john i don't see it

00:23:55.140 where is it it's a bit below his finger right there okay i see it now that's a very odd way to point

00:24:01.660 just below my finger i know i was trying to figure out directionally on the camera how it was

00:24:07.600 working but casey who do people say that your act or your personality remind them of as we look at

00:24:13.160 your torso um i just fucking pat my belly man i don't know dude i hear a lot of a lot of things 0.97

00:24:22.240 a lot of people say theo vaughn but i don't think i'm that close to theo vaughn i love

00:24:25.840 no there's not enough twang in your voice yeah yeah i agree yeah i'm yeah i met him a couple

00:24:34.480 months ago did a show with him he was really nice but yeah that eric andre people say eric andre

00:24:42.020 um i like brody stevens a lot who was an la comic so i think i would be most like him but i don't know

00:24:49.740 man i'm just trying to do my thing freaking talk about damn jar jar binks have fun with boys talk about 0.81

00:24:55.340 scrappy do a little bit what's the jar jar binks joke unless that was just made up right now

00:25:00.720 uh most of the things i do don't really have a joke it's just me i'll talk about a little bit

00:25:08.200 let's talk about jar jar that's what we'll put it on screen right now of casey rocket just running

00:25:14.220 across the stage back and forth which was a lot of his act which was hilarious i'm not gonna lie and

00:25:19.840 that's why i'm such a big fan now ian let's talk about let's transition hard and quick to inflation

00:25:25.900 um did you see this

00:25:27.860 right that's what they're calling it nowadays putin's price like i mean apparently putin's in

00:25:36.880 charge of the u.s economy and not biden you know biden has zero control over what happens but putin

00:25:42.360 oh yeah is 100 in charge of the u.s economy well let's talk about it what i wanted to bring up was

00:25:47.040 this new uh thing they're gonna do in california is they're gonna print more money to counter

00:25:52.100 inflation which doesn't make any sense to me they're gonna give people upwards of a thousand

00:25:55.840 and fifty dollars a month as a countering to inflation that's that is as simple as i think

00:26:02.120 it is as stupid as i think well that's not entirely correct because california doesn't print its own

00:26:06.400 money right yes i know yeah the money comes from the fed which obviously prints money they got a

00:26:12.280 money printing machine and jerome powell is just crying blood as he prints more money that biden

00:26:17.300 asks him to but yeah like i mean okay just california alone right it's it has a surplus in its budget

00:26:23.520 because its taxes are so goddamn high so they tax people so much and then they're giving people back

00:26:29.520 like a like a third of the taxes that they pay so that they can survive i mean why not just lower

00:26:34.220 your taxes that would easily end the problem there but somehow or other you know california likes having

00:26:40.340 a massive budget that likes having all that on the sheets and they get to seem like they're benevolent

00:26:45.660 right that's what governor newsom likes to think of himself as he's the king and you're a bunch of

00:26:49.960 peasants who should be grateful for his assistance and his support and this is easily i would say you

00:26:54.700 know an example of how the democrats in particular try to normalize the um the nanny state essentially

00:27:01.420 they're saying you depend on the government but we're going to take all of your money all of your

00:27:05.180 earnings 50 percent we're going to take all of it and then we're going to give you 10 percent back

00:27:08.520 aren't we good people you know why don't you vote for us more we're going to give you more money maybe

00:27:12.720 next time you'll get 11 percent and that's what california is doing and obviously it's not really

00:27:17.580 going to help inflation not on a nationwide level i mean the problems with inflation and supply chain

00:27:23.220 shortages are systemic this is largely because of biden's own policies i mean what's the first thing

00:27:28.520 he did when he stepped into office the first executive order that he signed or at least one of the first

00:27:33.540 ones was to uh in the uh the pipeline right the keystone xl pipeline extension that was going to

00:27:39.420 bridge canada and america and you know uh provide lots and lots and lots of oil this is something

00:27:44.560 that was done under trump you know obama before him suspended it and biden suspended it and one of

00:27:49.740 the campaign promises that he made and i would say i would argue that he has kept was that americans

00:27:54.320 are not going to be able to drill anymore because he hates the oil industry he is fully bought into this

00:27:58.760 whole green energy transition which by the way requires america to buy solar power panels from

00:28:04.180 china using chinese equipment and chinese solar panels and chinese oil of course but you know to

00:28:10.040 hell of american industry right so that's his policy and obviously like i said the problem systemic with

00:28:15.780 the supply chain shortages there's a million different problems in all these different states

00:28:19.840 particularly california the ports are uh you know clogged because of and uh of pro-union rules and you

00:28:26.380 know it'll take me hours to get into that so i'll just say that the problem is definitely a local

00:28:31.100 issue that's not being addressed i mean did you know that america doesn't really have a sort of uh

00:28:35.380 a collective system that allows all these different ports and ships to communicate with each other like

00:28:40.140 in other countries say turkey or uh netherlands which all rely on uh freight travel right on on port

00:28:47.220 and trading they have like a a centralized system that enables them to communicate their logistics

00:28:52.220 america doesn't have such a system and instead of developing systems like that they're not

00:28:55.980 interested in doing any of it and so now they're wondering why is everything you know clogged why

00:28:59.500 there are not enough workers is it anti-union rules or pro-union rules that are causing this

00:29:03.240 definitely you know it's it's a it's a blockading of russian ships which provide crude oil that is

00:29:08.340 used by the american oil industry to refine oil they don't have any access to that anymore instead

00:29:12.960 of having to import it from china which imports it from russia and it's like you're making these

00:29:16.760 countries richer while you're bankrupting yourselves and then you're putting more and more

00:29:21.120 restrictions on russia and then saying it's putin's fault that this is putin's price hike

00:29:25.580 it's ridiculous nobody buys it nobody industry buys it jerome powell doesn't buy it but you know

00:29:30.240 biden just goes on stage and he just keeps repeating the same lies over and over and what did he do last

00:29:34.200 weekend he said that people who own these uh uh gas retailers you know like the gas stations they need

00:29:40.820 to reduce the prices never mind the fact that they're making you know like very little on the

00:29:45.300 margins when it comes to profit like it's a kind of a loss leader really i mean most of the money

00:29:49.100 that they make comes from selling groceries from drinks you know it's not from the oil so this ask

00:29:54.900 is ridiculous this guy you know he's just out of control and watching uh america's economy just go

00:30:00.360 to hell like this even though there's a million experts telling you do the opposite of this he's

00:30:04.540 like no we're going to stick to the green energy plan and we're going to keep blaming everybody

00:30:08.040 but ourselves because our policies are going to work just trust it don't question it

00:30:11.900 casey you're wearing a pearl necklace how is the economy hitting you

00:30:16.000 well well buddy as you can see times are good i'm fucking i'm flourishing i got a i got a damn 0.98

00:30:23.740 treasure chest full of gold bouillon and little little teeny tiny pearls i prefer the small ones

00:30:30.360 so i can eat them after i get tired of them um they slide right down your throat as a counterpoint

00:30:36.420 i wanted to go ahead and show you this this is a this is a picture um my grandma made me a pillow

00:30:42.040 and it's me and my cousin max and uh uh this i sleep with this on my bed every night it's me and

00:30:51.040 my pearls and uh my cousin max he goes by max wax on sound class he's a great guy and that's just

00:30:59.400 that's that i just want to show you that but um he's not dead or anything he's alive it's just me

00:31:05.900 him hanging out all right um inflation is such a big it's so big this time of year um

00:31:13.920 i don't know i don't know we're gonna go i know i know 40 years we're gonna we're gonna go behind

00:31:20.220 the paywall that was just me throwing casey to the wolves back to me olivia rebelnewsplus.com

00:31:26.740 everybody we're gonna go for one more segment behind the paywall with casey rocket and ian miles

00:31:35.920 favorite segments my favorite segments we're gonna talk about that so rebelnewsplus.com just

00:31:43.880 including this one and all the extra segments see you there casey is heckling i feel like it's it's

00:31:51.780 not around as much you used to see how much um people would profit quote unquote off youtube videos

00:31:57.000 of hecklers joe rogan uh made it famous for a while carlos mencia all that stuff that happened

00:32:02.860 i do see david lucas putting up videos of hecklers a bit but has it overall since you've been in the

00:32:08.160 game gotten worse gotten better are people learning their lesson about that they're going to be on

00:32:12.520 youtube if they're hecklers or does the drunk person in the audience just not care

00:32:15.680 yeah i think it's a i think it's always been there i think it's something that will always be

00:32:22.700 there i do think it is getting a little worse but you know there's certain nights where you know

00:32:28.660 there's going to be hecklers if you're doing a late show thursday friday saturday particularly

00:32:33.600 saturdays like if you're doing a 10 p.m or an 11 p.m show there's going to be people who shout

00:32:39.360 shit out yeah i don't think it's going the opposite way i don't think people are being quieter if anything

00:32:45.740 i think it's getting worse why do you think that is i i don't know i think people are

00:32:51.380 i don't know they see it like in the news and they see it in videos and they think that it's

00:32:58.240 something that happens so why not like why can't they do it um i yeah they want to be a part of it

00:33:07.840 and they think that yeah i've even i've seen some joe rogan shows like at vulcan here in austin and

00:33:15.620 hill still you know sometimes people yell stuff at him which is completely wild that's such a wild

00:33:21.240 thing to do yeah some woman i never get heckled because i mostly just you know whatever dude i'm 1.00

00:33:26.920 up there talking about grimace and stuff fucking grimace let's pause there because that was one 0.94

00:33:33.880 of the funniest one of the funniest and we'll throw this clip up i know we're just going to be throwing

00:33:38.800 up a lot of his clips but casey just has a picture of grimace with him and i hope i'm not blowing up

00:33:45.200 your set here what he does no you're good carried around a picture of grimace wasn't even going to

00:33:50.820 mention it until it was brought up by the hosts oh my god anyways you were saying yeah i have a

00:33:57.860 bunch of no that's the thing like i'm kind of i consider myself to be an absurdist so nobody ever

00:34:03.480 shouts stuff at me because what would they even shout like there's no you know i'm in my own little

00:34:09.920 world but yeah lately the past couple months yeah people people will even heckle little old casey

00:34:14.620 rocket with my freaking stinky little nipples and my pictures of grimace it's truly hitting home for 0.92

00:34:20.520 me in ways i've never imagined truly perfect ian you'll know better than me about twitter

00:34:27.240 like morons i feel like it's gotten lesser like there's not even people anybody making any attempt 0.78

00:34:34.400 at arguments anymore i mean one person today i'll give you an example set tried to make fun of me by

00:34:40.040 saying i'm not on basic cable which there are no canadian news channels on basic cable and they

00:34:45.340 thought that was an insult is it getting same to you basically and is it getting better or worse the

00:34:49.780 same how do you feel about it because i know you get a lot of guff where i don't think that it's i get

00:34:54.620 a lot of haters yeah so i would say that you know a lot of people make the mistake of arguing with

00:35:00.860 extremists and if you go by uh the bayesian equation you know why am i bringing up mathematics

00:35:06.820 but yeah the bayesian equation just stick with me here okay so it says something like you know 99

00:35:11.340 percent of time you're going to meet someone who's like in the middle right somebody you can have a

00:35:15.620 an argument with a discussion with that you can convince because they're not zero percent or a hundred

00:35:20.300 percent on any given situation and in those conversations you can very easily have a normal

00:35:25.900 conversation however there are people who are extremists who you know you cannot change their mind

00:35:30.820 one way or another like some people uh completely oppose the idea of abortion just zero percent

00:35:36.180 abortion and other people are saying a hundred percent abortion you should have abortions at you 0.99

00:35:40.800 know at elective like elective abortions up to nine months and there's no way to convince them

00:35:45.080 otherwise don't have conversations with these people it's pointless you're not going to be uh making

00:35:50.760 any inroads you're basically at that point you're just speaking to a wall you're you're speaking

00:35:55.120 to them uh for the purpose of being performative and that's i feel like a lot of twitter

00:35:59.920 becomes that when you're quote tweeting someone that you know is a hundred percent or zero percent

00:36:04.880 on a certain issue uh say a political topic then you know for a fact that you can dunk on them

00:36:09.980 completely and don't you won't feel any remorse for it because you know that they are not going to be

00:36:14.520 convinced they're not interested in being convinced so you're just there to use them as a foil to make

00:36:19.340 it to make your argument to your audience and that's what i do generally a lot of influencers i believe do

00:36:25.420 that where they they take the most extreme possible um example and use that uh that person as a foil

00:36:32.860 to promote themselves and i think that's good social media practice if you're an influencer

00:36:37.480 however i won't say it's healthy it's definitely not healthy but the discourse because by doing that

00:36:41.980 you're making it seem as if every single person on the other side is an extremist and i feel like a lot

00:36:47.900 of people do this uh this is why social media in general not just twitter not just facebook but also

00:36:53.380 youtube instagram tiktok we have a tendency the influencers have a tendency to do this because

00:36:58.240 it's popular it's sensationalistic but it's not healthy and that's why i feel like if anything

00:37:03.260 everything is just getting worse just a lot worse there's nothing healthy about it and i feel like

00:37:07.440 twitter as a medium which only allows for 280 characters previous it's 140 which is even worse

00:37:12.340 only permits people to have these kinds of short-form conversations where you are rewarded for being

00:37:18.900 pithy you're not rewarded for being uh overly you know if you have to over explain everything then

00:37:24.260 you've lost and twitter does not reward you for having long-form explanations it rewards you for

00:37:29.940 being smart quick and witty and it's as a result of that it's people having sword fights insult sword

00:37:35.660 fights so to speak so definitely getting worse in that regard although i will say uh it's it's comedy

00:37:40.520 for a lot of people it's definitely comedy for me it's a clown world just logging on to twitter

00:37:44.220 and seeing the funniest takes you know people just burning each other left and right it's it's just

00:37:48.960 funny to me yeah the wise words of ian miles strong casey rocket final words to you let everybody know
