00:01:13.820 i didn't realize his story like 30 some years this guy's been out protesting getting arrested
00:01:19.440 but doing it peacefully but all for patriotic causes now when's the last time you saw a
00:01:24.680 conservative do that it's always the wacko lefties that are being paid by soros to go out and destroy
00:01:28.800 crap and act like an idiot he goes out and peacefully protests like why aren't you letting kids read the
00:01:35.320 bible or have a flag in their classroom or why are you trying to defund cops we need more people like

00:02:12.320 would work with the nypd and make sure whatever protests we were hosting went smoothly so that was
00:02:17.980 that was the thing because we're we're young republicans we want to work with the people who
00:02:22.840 are protecting us and keeping us safe and making sure we're we're safe when we're expressing our
00:02:27.080 because we actually believe in law and order right guys that's right unlike that crazy side well this is
00:02:32.760 going to be our best episode too because you brought some some hooch for the table what what is this
00:02:37.320 stuff so you know since we're doing the podcast thing we can have a little um libations and when
00:02:43.060 you see scott come on the program he's always talking about libations and so the other day this

00:03:09.420 groomsman gift yeah that you want to get yeah this is awesome there we go cam winner because on the
00:03:14.600 back of every single bottle shall we read it all together a well-regulated militia being necessary

00:03:37.360 it to your people trying to take our guys if someone who either loves or hates the second
00:03:43.300 great idea is it's a it's a fantastic and the little stopper is cool because it's got two bullets
00:03:47.180 and a little 2a thingy right in the center all right so dan i gotta i gotta talk to you about this
00:03:51.480 shutdown stuff and we gotta talk to you later too by the way because i got some news oh cool the the way
00:03:56.420 this played out feels like the democrats realized they were in a trap right before it closed and
00:04:03.160 then got out because had there been a shutdown then the only thing standing in the way of some
00:04:10.120 of doge's work like it's been the courts and if you could go into the courts and say well your honor
00:04:15.420 like you say we don't have the authority but congress has put us in a shutdown so like stuff's
00:04:20.360 got to get closed stuff's got to get canceled it would if we'd have gone into a shutdown we would
00:04:25.560 have never come out of it trump would have been i like listen i love the shutdowns we will every
00:04:30.660 single day i want the house to pass a bill to pay our troops pay our border patrol you know pay our
00:04:35.780 letter carriers like the essential stuff essentials yeah safety security every day we would have been
00:04:40.140 serving those up as single subject spending bills something i'm pretty passionate about
00:04:43.980 and now you know what schumer woke up he realized it how are you thinking about the democrats
00:04:50.880 observing the i think it's freaking hilarious i mean this wasn't even was it 24 hours and if you
00:04:57.080 all don't know what we're talking about uh get caught up like so monday tuesday the dems are all like
00:05:02.940 the republicans are going to shut the government down it's going to be horrible for everybody there's
00:05:06.860 no way will the republicans screw them and then it's we'll shut it down because and now we're back on
00:05:14.760 i mean i think they see or maybe they didn't see the writing on the wall the majority of americans
00:05:20.700 they thought were left they thought were liberal they thought were leaning towards these progressive
00:05:24.960 radical ideas and then november happened matt you had your big win republicans had big wins president
00:05:30.800 trump had big wins and they don't know what they're doing i really think they have no clue because first
00:05:36.360 it's like we'll let it shut down then no we won't we're going to save it and then it's like oh wait did
00:05:40.380 they figure out like matt just said that this would give trump car blanche to do whatever him and elon
00:05:46.020 want to do when it comes to these cuts which are amazing we would have made shutdowns great again
00:05:49.480 yes oh yeah i've been wanting a shutdown for a while it doesn't look all the emergency personnel stuff
00:05:55.100 stays in check okay a federal the parks joshua tree and national parks get closed down other than that
00:06:01.520 you're going to get your mail the troops get paid uh tsa yeah border patrol all the safety security
00:06:07.820 stuff folks doesn't go away they lie to you when they say that it's the other how many how many
00:06:14.300 people are employed by our government by the way do you even know the freaking number it's got to be in
00:06:18.660 the millions i mean yeah it's the other hundreds of thousands that do meaningless jobs that yeah might
00:06:24.440 not get a paycheck oh well your family will still be fine well i don't even know that it's that i don't
00:06:29.220 know that it stratifies it so much by um by mission set but programmatically you could just say
00:06:35.340 well we're in a shutdown so i'm going to go vertical on department of education you know
00:06:40.360 that could be a way it would go so if it's hold on true or false a government shutdown would have been
00:06:45.500 the most uh aggressive way to empower trump uh that is true and the democrats quite frankly they were in
00:06:53.780 a damned if you do damned if you don't situation from the beginning if they uh shut it down they would
00:07:00.880 it would have given trump carte blanche elon musk would have been able to roll in with the chainsaw
00:07:05.920 and just start going left and right with no government bureaucrats standing in his way and
00:07:10.540 their base what were the ones who were calling for the shutdown from the very beginning to shut down
00:07:16.660 elon musk so now the base see they didn't even go push it till friday yeah the surrender right the
00:07:24.740 schumer surrender comes uh with with 24 hours left to go on the clock so the big so the biggest
00:07:31.280 losers if they shut if the government was shut down would have been the democrats because all
00:07:35.740 their bureaucrats they love would have been chopped out but if they did surrender the biggest losers
00:07:41.340 are the democrats do you think they realize it though vish while he was doing it while chuck was
00:07:45.760 standing up there saying we're not going to sign the cr and then coming out thursday and saying
00:07:49.840 we're signing the cr because we're not going to let donald trump shut it down when 24 hours before
00:07:54.240 he was fine with shutting it down do you think he actually understood what the hell he was saying
00:07:59.160 when he said it well yes i think i think he understood it but he also does not care about his base again
00:08:04.880 the biggest problem the base has right now is no leaders right and so they look at schumer they look
00:08:11.320 at uh jeffries and they're just like do something shut it down just to show us you can do it and they
00:08:17.900 couldn't even get that far i believe bernie sanders is the current leader of the democratic party
00:08:21.860 he's got the biggest crowds right now bernie bernie maybe maybe the way to the youth movement is bernie
00:08:28.600 sanders no i i think al green is the leader of the democratic party right now oh he's the he was
00:08:35.440 the last guy to actually physically stand up against donald trump the last time they were in a room
00:08:42.160 together he did stand he barely could stand could you just imagine the presidential debate gavin
00:08:46.460 newsom i had a podcast with charlie kurt al green i waved my cane at donald trump yeah ding ding ding
00:08:52.040 all those votes in south carolina going away bernie sanders though he could be like well i've got i've
00:08:58.300 got the backing of reacher you know that famous actor i've got the back yeah because uh you have
00:09:03.700 a little beef with him i saw online and he brought up bernie in the article where he gave you crap when
00:09:08.360 they asked him who by the way if you know i'm talking about alan richson he's the actor that big
00:09:12.040 huge dude that plays reacher um when they asked him do you have any politicians you look up to
00:09:17.880 since he was bagging on you and most politicians he said bernie sanders was his only hero he could
00:09:22.600 think of in any political movement bernie sanders he's making my argument bernie is the current leader
00:09:27.620 of the democratic party look and here's here's what i what i offer in support of that the policies of
00:09:32.460 the democratic party right now are the policies of bernie sanders that plus the biggest crowd plus the
00:09:38.260 biggest online donor list and probably the highest name recognition among people who are going to vote
00:09:43.000 in the democratic and the upcoming democratic primary run bernie sanders but bernie this is your
00:09:47.640 time that money he doesn't take that money man was your time but this is your time bernie you need to
00:09:52.740 get in the 2028 race you need to assume the mantle of the leadership of the democratic party if you
00:09:58.140 don't who are you waiting to lead you bernie you waiting for gavin newsom to show up and lead this
00:10:01.900 party i mean can we talk about that podcast by the way so they had bannon on so he had bannon on
00:10:07.620 recently i saw and and i think that you know here's the thing i got a bunch of text messages
00:10:12.160 from a lot of friends uh especially with uh his episode with michael savage with bannon yep they
00:10:18.080 were like you know this guy in long form he's kind of formidable actually now it's because he's
00:10:23.300 sociopathic and will say whatever he needs to say and he knows what audience he's playing to
00:10:27.620 actually if you listen to the responses my gavin his podcast and the message he's pushing out on it
00:10:33.380 is not really meant to go left it's meant to go right yeah but what why is it formidable is it
00:10:38.640 formidable because he gives a great presentation of the american left's ideology or because he's
00:10:43.980 occupying a different space no actually i want to you i want to give an example in the michael savage
00:10:49.100 podcast michael savage was there saying you know it's the taxes uh gavin it's the taxes here in
00:10:55.940 california that i'm just about ready to leave i'm just about ready to leave but i got my home in
00:11:01.240 florida and you know that there's no taxes there and all that and i'm ready to bounce i'm ready to
00:11:06.400 bounce and gavin nails him to the wall on it and basically has a he has identified florida as the
00:11:13.900 foil to any messaging in 2028 he started talking about how uh florida and texas tax the lower end of
00:11:24.020 lower income people lower income people and california california doesn't saw that right and so he but
00:11:30.480 it's not whether that's true or not it's that his strategy is actually very smart in that he has
00:11:36.840 identified making florida the big uh target in his messaging to say that california is actually
00:11:44.520 better and at the end of the day michael savage still hasn't left california yeah i think he's using
00:11:49.500 the podcast you're totally right to come center right to the people watching it because democrats
00:11:54.920 are chewing him up over this liberals are hating him for bringing on i mean steve bannon i mean i think
00:11:59.820 we all like steve bannon but the left hates that man they might hate him more than you matt i mean
00:12:04.240 let's be real and they did lock him up yeah okay yeah we're having some whiskey so i think that he is
00:12:11.120 playing it very center right and he's hoping that righties will see it or let's say non-trump
00:12:16.880 conservatives that he might bring over to his side those aren't the people he has to he has to
00:12:21.540 persuade to win the democratic primary i mean i'm always of the perception you have to win one election
00:12:26.280 at a time and he's got to go win in south carolina right is that is that the message that's going to
00:12:32.360 play that he sat down with steve bannon and charlie kirk i think he's trying to set up like vish said i
00:12:37.760 agree with this because i was watching i would answer the question with charlie with charlie it was
00:12:41.160 interesting because you're not going to own charlie kirk i mean charlie owned gavin in that let's be
00:12:45.940 real he did but he would throw in so many falsehoods like even the other day was the michael one where he
00:12:50.640 said i never once said anything about latinx who came up with that that is crap i agree with you
00:12:55.400 i never and then they brought up like two three tweets with the receipt and we're like hey gav
00:12:59.460 here's two tweets from your official account saying latinx latinx so he's lied throughout the first three
00:13:05.760 episodes but it doesn't matter because he's going to get that messaging out there to those center either
00:13:11.200 right or center left because obviously if they're an extreme lefty they're not going to like gavin newsom
00:13:15.240 because of what he's saying and who he's discussing with they're pissed off he's even giving us
00:13:20.420 conservatives a platform they're mad even started this and said every guest is going to be somebody
00:13:25.600 on the right they think that i think it's that he wants to be the leader of the democratic party and
00:13:29.660 he realizes that the conflict that is playing out in washington isn't really true conflict and so if
00:13:35.320 he's able to go and create conflict with a bannon with a charlie kirk with a michael savage then then
00:13:41.340 he can become the leader not even by being the hero of the story but by being the villain
00:13:47.820 well yes but he but what he's not doing is actually he's not doing conflict a lot of it is him agreeing
00:13:56.040 with his guests he agrees constantly and i'm going that's why the lift's getting so pissed off at him
00:14:00.720 yeah yeah i see your point and by the way what's up with the hand gesture you saw me doing that
00:14:04.240 this stuff is he's out of control on that i don't know if we have any video of the podcast but i mean
00:14:09.140 don't waste your time it's a crap podcast but the hand gestures and i had on i forget who i had on
00:14:14.580 the show yesterday or today and they're like well that's all part of the psyop that's distracting so
00:14:18.340 you're not listening to what he's saying so you don't want to go fact check him because you can't
00:14:22.400 what the hell is all this why he's going you know i never once with this recipe you know gavin it
00:14:26.780 doesn't just work for anyone i'll just tell you you got to know how to do it do it right properly
00:14:32.280 so wait hold on before we before we bring in our buddy scott i i have to get your take on this
00:14:37.440 because one of the biggest stories uh around was this runner this race where everyone is on one
00:14:45.140 side of the other of of whether or not this was an intentional act or this was an accident so let's
00:14:50.760 go ahead and and get this uh i guess some sort of baton sprint competition yeah it was a it was a
00:14:58.080 relay race yeah okay the relay all right so here she's coming around i mean good morning america
00:15:02.480 nobody had these girls on right a big fight oh okay okay so that's the swing that's that's the
00:15:09.660 heat hey now watch her body bam i mean bam and then she hit the head and that was down all right
00:15:17.580 so vish bura intentional or accidental 100 intentional because anyone who's an athlete especially a track
00:15:25.920 star knows about running mechanics and that right there there is no part of that which is running
00:15:33.100 mechanics especially the raising of the hand that way and then not bringing it back either right because
00:15:39.780 the way to to run is like this right and so the and actually if you move your arms faster you will run
00:15:46.900 faster and so her doing the hit and then going back up instead of down is actually i think the
00:15:55.120 tell did you running running expert vish bura if you yeah i don't think anybody's gonna take advice
00:15:59.740 from the three of us great running take athletics if you want to know the true mechanics of running
00:16:04.420 a man who knows this better than anyone he has a black belt in running vish bura you know how many
00:16:10.040 miles a day do you run vish like six eight six or eight inches yeah all right so damn bike about six
00:16:17.160 or eight miles on an electric bike are you are you in on this as an accident so here's the deal if you
00:16:25.160 watch the interviews because you uh and emailed me yesterday on the subject matter and i went and
00:16:29.380 watched the interviews on good morning america because you know it's a trusted news source brought to
00:16:34.100 by pfizer um i almost believe the gal for a second in her moping crying interview because she was like
00:16:41.380 and this goes to your whole mechanics when you're running full speed and you're doing a turn your
00:16:45.780 body's going in one motion she claims she lost her footing and got off to the left and that's why i
00:16:52.120 rolled it again back there and that's why her arm is up because she was about to fall and she says to
00:16:57.020 get her momentum back forward she brought her arm down and hit her on accident that's her claim so watch
00:17:02.660 the left foot i don't see her falling so i believed her for about 20 seconds watching the interview
00:17:07.200 because i used to run cross country and track and i handed off the baton and if you are running full
00:17:12.640 speed making a turn and let's say your left ankle rolled okay that's what she claims and watch the
00:17:17.880 left foot right there she says i was leaning and falling to the left so i brought my body back over
00:17:23.300 to stay straight up and that's how i hit her but it wasn't on purpose that's her claim does anybody see
00:17:29.100 that in her footwork i don't see it are you buying it no not now that i'm sitting there examining
00:17:33.460 examining all right now she we've got her explanation let's let's get it straight from
00:17:38.720 the horse's mouth the person okay all right from the runner let's uh everett says the incident is a
00:17:44.020 complete misunderstanding pointing to another angle of the race is proof the baton was literally like her
00:17:50.640 her arm was literally hitting the baton like this until she got a little ahead and my arm got stuck
00:18:01.240 like this in the video everett is seen on the inside track running the four by 200 relay at the
00:18:07.600 virginia state high school league championships when junior kaylin tucker came around the outside on the
00:18:12.840 corner that's when she hit me with the baton i just felt a bang on my head and then i fell off the
00:18:18.080 track immediately hmm i'm buying it you are i'm going against both of you i said i almost did for
00:18:24.660 a second i mean i just i just can't imagine moving that fast and having to stay upright and having all
00:18:30.160 of those limbs uh in motion i just feel like a lot could happen and i'm buying i'm totally here for
00:18:36.620 the explanation i cannot wait to see the comments no on social media no this is even in it should it
00:18:43.460 doesn't look like we're gonna get more comments i was just glad chuck schumer rolling over i was just
00:18:47.600 glad it was two women competing against one right not man we acting like a woman yeah we had a man
00:18:52.760 we had a sports controversy that was two women competing against one another that's the way i'd
00:18:58.200 like my sports controversy complete fairness right there two real women okay so there was this thing
00:19:03.320 that just uh played out in utah where governor cox uh had to confront signing legislation in the face
00:19:10.160 of calls from the lgbtq community to act one way or the other and the no less than the sundance
00:19:16.120 film festival hung in the balance fish oh yeah so i mean there's this legislation that came on to uh
00:19:22.560 spencer cox's desk governor of utah and it's basically uh you know putting the kibosh on some
00:19:28.340 of this lgbtq stuff and sundance film film festival said if you sign that legislation we're pulling out
00:19:35.800 uh everything else the mormons do we're cool yeah exactly this legislation is a bridge really yeah yeah
00:19:42.620 and so so here here's the thing you know did he flinch um i i don't think i i think it still
00:19:48.340 hangs in the balance at the moment but what i feel well you know the thing people don't talk about
00:19:53.760 enough is the idea of the parallel economy right like this idea like oh if you guys sign that
00:19:59.820 legislation we're pulling out our business right and and and um even california did this when florida put in
00:20:06.960 some uh legislation i think it was the anti-groomers bill or whatever and california said we will not
00:20:12.840 fund any you know state visits or any business trip oh yeah to florida right and so if we get into this
00:20:20.840 tit-for-tat game like could you imagine what conservatives and people who are you know donate
00:20:26.120 to the right and our business people on the right on the right can do to democrats instead like oh yeah
00:20:31.980 we don't like this legislation that you guys are signing what if we just shut shut off the oil from
00:20:36.500 texas to the rest of the country what do you think about that it's a good or how about you know oh we
00:20:41.360 don't like your you know this legislation that you passed in minnesota we're gonna shut off uh all the
00:20:46.500 milk from the dairy farmers yeah no cheese from wisconsin well didn't this happen with major league
00:20:51.080 baseball with the all-star game a couple years ago down in uh georgia yeah remember that when they
00:20:55.160 where does it lead that's what i'm saying this is right it's gonna go that far the fundamental question
00:20:59.760 is can we share a country with the other side right that is the fundamental question and that
00:21:06.720 is what get mo's not that big fish get mo's not that big i can i want to be on the side of the
00:21:11.100 people who are totally willing to be a part of a shared economy with people who are don't hold my
00:21:16.380 views or my values i i think that is you know part of what makes a nation your willingness to do that
00:21:22.220 with people who don't agree with you it's it's the other side that's trying to debank us censor us
00:21:28.380 remove us from any type of of public dialogue or or or just natural economic transactions no they
00:21:37.080 want to shut us down in every facet in every capacity it's like but you would you live in in
00:21:42.400 economic harmony with the left i mean i have i've lived in california how many years careful okay so
00:21:48.440 i mean you just got here pal you just got here okay well you've been in new york though you're the
00:21:52.740 one that's been in florida with like sane conservatives he's been in nyc and i've been in cali for a long
00:21:57.940 time so we've been around these radicals for a while so yes i've lived in somewhat harmony with
00:22:03.320 them am i more specific about my um expenditures these days yes because of the radical left in
00:22:12.020 california and this country so does that mean i want to as vish was just your point i'm not going
00:22:16.920 to go try and cancel them or this tit-for-tat bs what i will do like the other day i just called a
00:22:22.400 company looking for some uh portable restrooms for our housewarming party but obviously you and
00:22:27.760 the wife are coming to you're coming to now that we know there's portable restrooms
00:22:30.700 sorry we don't want 50 60 people using the house back and forth so we thought we'd get a nice one
00:22:36.240 those trailer ones that have the mirrors and they're they got ac and heat and they got the
00:22:40.660 sink they're nice not a not a worksite not even all the houses here that's only down by the border
00:22:46.520 um so anyway i looked at a couple companies and the one that had the name patriot patriot potties
00:22:53.460 that's the one i went with and guess what when she called me back that is so like my right it's
00:22:58.020 on brand baby and when she called me back she leaves a message that says she matched my voicemail
00:23:02.560 she's like you know call me back it's that with this company she can you have a mag a day because
00:23:06.120 on my voicemail it says dan ball host yada yada have a mag a day i'm like now you'll get my money
00:23:10.580 but if i would have looked up another company check their reviews maybe looked at the owner's
00:23:15.000 social media and i see f donald trump and i'm on board with kamala i'm not going to call that
00:23:20.280 company i'm not going to try and ban them i'm not going to try and dox them i'm going to try and be
00:23:23.620 a jerk like the left i'm just not going to spend my hard-earned money with that company inclusivity
00:23:29.380 toilets isn't getting your business it was my latest example so this is the man with the patriot
00:23:34.180 toilets but also some pretty some pretty fly patriot oh you like this huh it's just some fly stuff
00:23:39.540 dude you got you know what i'm going to get you and vish some so we've got what do we got we got
00:23:42.600 ars that'll piss off the left we got the flag that really upsets them the bald eagle because god you

00:23:53.900 program from here on out is going to come from my buddies over at grunt style if you don't know
00:23:57.700 grunt style look it up started by vets for vets besides having an awesome clothing line they also
00:24:03.300 have a foundation that does a lot to help veterans causes especially with the suicide and let's be real

00:24:13.700 grunt styles website go to their foundation website the charity wing learn more donate help them out
00:24:18.120 but i'm proud to wear their stuff we're going to get up here on the shelf and yeah they're one of the
00:24:21.740 sponsors of uh the anchorman now so we got to get you guys all decked out in some grunt style
00:24:26.100 i will never say no to clothes right yeah we know you are a clothing whore you you love the hat how
00:24:31.680 many i got hats you want some hats oh yeah okay how many hats do you own oh at least 200 yeah at least
00:24:38.000 200 i just organized my closet hold on six holding six and i have seven of i have 42 42 yeah i have 42
00:24:45.520 hats i think you have two i've got like nine well see the way i purchase my hats is you know usually if i
00:24:52.120 visit a place or something i catch grab that as memorabilia but actually the the the driving force
00:24:58.280 is my outfits and particularly my sneakers so the sneakers and the hat the colorway has to match
00:25:04.420 it's a very like new york city street what percentage of your hats have you warned uh that's a good
00:25:10.880 question actually uh probably 45 oh wow so more than half so kind of like your shoes have never graced
00:25:18.800 the dome piece that's right yeah and so there's like a rotation and then there's a bunch that sit
00:25:23.340 on standby for particular outfits in particular yeah i've never won this right i'm not gonna sweat
00:25:28.860 up this one that that djt signed for me and i've got two or three so i don't wear those because that
00:25:33.040 would be i don't want to get head sweat in them yeah but so you treat some of them like your shoes
00:25:36.900 because last week when you're on you're saying that a couple dozen pairs of your shoes are still in
00:25:41.340 the boxes oh yeah in the wrapping like you don't touch them yeah i have well i have to figure out
00:25:45.200 the right way the right time right place to deploy them right freaking mission over here
00:25:51.860 this guy didn't even serve me he's like i'm gonna deploy the shoes i mean it's gonna be a chick
00:25:55.800 magnet with the matching with the you gotta coordinate you gotta coordinate anybody know
00:25:59.760 that movie line by the way there was a there was a big uh piece of fashion news uh versace is
00:26:05.720 is selling product potentially buying them and that's because luxury purchases are coming down
00:26:12.680 in in the united states right and isn't donatella stepping down as the cco i saw correct donatella
00:26:17.720 well as it should be first of all as it should be is it really luxury if everybody has it you know
00:26:22.620 that's the that's the question like yeah luxury sales should be going down and not everybody should
00:26:27.560 be buying that stuff in the first place i think actually a lot of the corruption of the culture
00:26:31.640 just amongst normal people is like buying those brands when they're not like ready for them right
00:26:36.900 when they have the or they don't actually have the a good amount of money to purchase them
00:26:41.300 there's other things that you could focus on and so you know i think but this society tells me i
00:26:46.760 need a prada bag uh you know it look i get it everyone everyone look you everyone wants nice
00:26:52.440 things right um but also that should be done in a form of moderation i'll take my grunt style
00:26:58.480 patriotic shirt over a versace shirt any day of the week i say that i'm wearing louis vuitton sneakers
00:27:04.800 the internet is going to destroy you you're done now that's right you are done but move moving from
00:27:13.140 the uh materialistic to the spiritual a bit christ is king was trending uh number two on twitter or on
00:27:20.340 on x today because there was a report that came out of one of these censorship you know we stop hate
00:27:27.660 groups it's affiliated in some way with rutgers university saying that christ is king has now been
00:27:34.040 appropriated by the far right as a uh as a tool of anti-semitism as a tool of of uh ethno-nationalism
00:27:44.520 right it's a dog whistle and i'm just like it's so what i love about the internet why the internet
00:27:50.320 is undefeated is that everybody was posting christ is king and and sharing um their faithful moments do
00:27:58.320 you know who would probably say that on this show along with a lot of their words that the left might not
00:28:02.520 like our next guest should we bring him on i think he is is he not here yet no i don't know not ready
00:28:08.020 yet not yet okay all right you know what he's probably doing he's probably protesting something
00:28:11.740 in new york city right now as we speak because of all the crazy protesters that were at uh what
00:28:17.340 baynard and columbia and all the little yuppie ivy league schools in new york when they were out
00:28:21.280 complaining because we threw this muck mode collie guy gotten his ass out of the country well not yet
00:28:26.600 he's in louisiana but we're kicking him out soon if you don't know what i'm talking about we're talking
00:28:30.260 about this paid for agitator who somehow got a student visa ends up coming over acting like he's
00:28:35.660 going to be a student in our country but he's a paid agitator he supports hamas hezbollah all these
00:28:40.720 ridiculous terrorist organizations and he goes on campuses and he gets kids and adults riled up and
00:28:47.120 then gets violent against jews speaking of jews and other students when he got violent oh have you not
00:28:53.520 seen some of the videos i mean i i hadn't seen like actual violence that he had maybe not him
00:28:58.480 physically but he's out there and he's riling these people up i mean they're the ones spitting
00:29:02.640 shoving uh blocking not letting kids get to classes and he's been one of the major organizers so like
00:29:08.700 marco rubio said today look this is about free speech we're not going to stop anybody from their
00:29:12.060 free speech especially us we've been censored like crazy this is a an issue of he shouldn't
00:29:17.080 have got approved for a visa in the first place and he said if he got a green card we would have
00:29:20.920 revoked it because the whole thing is when you apply for these if we never would have had the
00:29:25.980 biden regime there is a vetting process and he would have been asked before he came over what
00:29:30.560 are you coming for you know your background questions blah blah and if we would have if he
00:29:34.500 would have said oh i'm coming to stir up the american people to support palestine to support
00:29:39.120 support palestinians to support the movement in gaza and we're going to talk shit on jews and
00:29:44.120 americans because america ain't that great and we're going to have these big protests that turn violent
00:29:47.900 we're going to shut down schools we're going to block roadways that's what i'm coming for not to get a
00:29:51.740 degree as marco said we would have never approved your visa or green card so the reason we're now
00:29:56.720 revoking it and sending your ass packing back home is not because of free speech because the right has
00:30:02.920 been censored more than the left ever in this country in the 50 years i've been around it's not
00:30:06.940 censorship it's we don't need enemies of the state and that's what you are just because you didn't pick
00:30:12.560 up arms or you know a gun and shot an american supporting your terror group you're here causing violent
00:30:19.240 discourse you're stopping people from going to class you're stopping commerce for happening in
00:30:24.200 the streets of new york city so guess what goodbye we're revoking your visa or your green card you're
00:30:30.600 not an american so you're not protected by our constitution and first of all you shouldn't have
00:30:35.580 been allowed into the damn country but we know joe and kamala were fine with 15 million folks walking
00:30:41.200 right in for four years i zoom out back to like our previous discussion about who's in charge of the
00:30:46.240 democratic party and if the thing no one that democrat activists are choosing to rally around
00:30:52.120 most right now is machmood's like departure and they are i'm like go ahead this is this is a great
00:30:58.080 signal like if if i'm thinking about the pennsylvania suburban voters that we have to win or the working
00:31:05.780 class voters in michigan what you're rallying around is some snot-nosed college student out there
00:31:12.720 you know riling things up making people unsafe uh through this very incendiary 20s though isn't
00:31:18.860 he late 20s and you know what uh yeah but he was out like a young little student whatever he is
00:31:23.700 he's going back and i think i think it's actually a great gift to the right that this is an organizing
00:31:30.240 principle now of the left fish oh yeah absolutely first of all i mean this guy like i'm as i said
00:31:35.980 that's crocodile tears that they're all to oh it's a free speech you guys do not actually believe in
00:31:42.700 free speech don't hold me to a standard you don't believe in right amen but to your point matt in
00:31:49.400 the lack of leadership and that this is the the uh the issue that they're rallying behind there's
00:31:56.320 they're distracted by the shiny objects right there's elon musk is out there you know with that
00:32:02.280 chainsaw running through the bureaucracies that you love right donald trump is pounding executive
00:32:08.300 orders out of 1600 pennsylvania right and you're you're over here busy with this guy with mark
00:32:15.560 mood's departure and the media's jumping right on the bandwagon you know what i hope you guys show up
00:32:20.920 i'll send some friends over you guys focus on that good luck right and nobody's taking them seriously
00:32:26.780 anyway there's no there's not a single soul on our side that's going to be convinced by what they're
00:32:31.600 doing i don't think but the their problem is there's not even a single serious person on their
00:32:36.880 side that i think will be convinced um by what they're doing especially the voters that they need
00:32:42.500 well that's the key matt and i agree with you the voters are going to look at it like okay you ignored
00:32:47.880 americans in east palestine you ignored americans in maui hawaii you ignored them in ashville north
00:32:53.080 carolina forget political you you ignored americans now the mainstream media this week and democrats
00:32:59.080 are rallying behind a terrorist muslim sympathizer who's not even an american and i think this is
00:33:06.500 going to be to your point they're just going to see one more example democrats don't care about you
00:33:11.160 democrats don't care if you're a democrat voter they don't care about americans they're taking up
00:33:16.300 the mantle for a freaking foreign invader as far as i'm concerned that came here to start
00:33:22.360 and they're supporting that guy and trying to put it under the guise of free speech when all they did
00:33:28.180 was censored this network for the last two years got us kicked off how many freaking platforms
00:33:33.000 direct tv verizon frontier youtube you name it they have censored so many conservatives i don't want
00:33:37.900 to hear your bull that oh trump is censoring this guy oh my god he's taking away his free speech
00:33:42.580 it is abjectly false that a majority of muslims hate you know hate all of us will agree to disagree
00:33:48.060 i'll say i think majority i think that that that the political islam that we see reflected in some of
00:33:54.540 these war-torn areas that have been war-torn is incredibly dangerous and challenging but look
00:34:00.440 the there was a ton of muslim vote for donald trump there was a there was a ton of people who were
00:34:07.440 unwilling to continue to buy the lies of the left in dearborn michigan and and hung out with us or
00:34:13.200 just didn't go to the polls and so yeah i i reject the notion that that an organizing principle of the
00:34:19.180 muslim faith is to be against americans or jews or westerners i think it's political islam that is
00:34:25.900 has hijacked it how about that see we can agree on that how about that political islam has hijacked
00:34:30.360 their religion and turned a large portion of them into haters against jews and americans because of
00:34:35.840 that political faction those about that the those who have risen to power in places like iran
00:34:41.100 would would reflect that that exactly and a lot of countries in the continent africa there's lots
00:34:47.280 of places where the political leaders that are muslim are pushing this hate and if you don't
00:34:52.180 convert you're dead so maybe i'll agree with you to a point that it's not a majority of every single
00:34:58.060 one of them because i know there's billions of muslims on the planet but the majority if not all of the
00:35:03.280 political leadership pushes that hatred onto their people and they use their religion for it in a lot
00:35:08.360 of places about that well i think i think that there needs to be it's a nuanced discussion i think
00:35:13.280 there needs to be a a uh understanding of the nuance of like wahhabism right and like this particular
00:35:20.900 strain of of islam that comes out of saudi arabia uh that's you know with financial backing of saudi
00:35:27.540 arabia spread throughout the world you know with their madrasas and stuff there's a particular strain
00:35:32.680 that kind of doesn't you know i was watching this um great uh uh interview two-hour interview with this
00:35:38.500 guy who's uh you know since the 70s would go visit uh afghanistan and and you know do a lot of things
00:35:44.900 and then it was eventually kidnapped by the taliban and you know he had a great love for the afghan
00:35:50.540 people and all that and he would watch the country go from what it was to being run by the taliban
00:35:56.180 and they asked him at the very end they said hey you know what do you think the the problem with
00:36:01.460 afghanistan is and and you know is it islam is it the taliban he's like what he said was actually what i
00:36:08.180 think the problem with afghanistan is the arabization of uh afghanistan not the islamization
00:36:14.940 right and that's the distinction well afghans are not arabs right and so afghans are a different set
00:36:22.020 of you know actually a collection of different kinds of democrats pashtun hazaras kurgs tajiks and all that
00:36:28.640 right central asian types that's not arab and so the so it's the islam with the arab culture bolted onto
00:36:37.400 it that's being exported that's creating the problems because they that the restrictions on
00:36:44.360 women for example were not as heavy in uh they were going in the 70s and back they were going to
00:36:50.200 right but in in saudi arabia we all know how what that's like right and so that is actually a a specific
00:36:57.500 discussion that needs to happen whether uh islam needs a sort of reform or a or a head council that
00:37:04.760 says this is the real islam and this is not right and that's also very difficult to do there's all
00:37:10.260 sorts of fracturing in christianity and judaism as well but let me say this though fish you go show me
00:37:15.860 a bunch of political christian leaders in this country calling for the deaths of muslims name me
00:37:22.820 five names name me two names exactly that's my point we just pointed to leaders around the world
00:37:28.680 especially in the middle east that want jews and americans dead and they're using their faith
00:37:32.560 i don't know christian leaders who are out there especially in our country that are saying
00:37:36.480 death to all muslims death to all jews name me some there's there's some hindus in india saying that
00:37:42.820 yeah again name me some american christian christian leaders or christian leaders in the eu that are
00:37:50.500 calling for the deaths thousands millions of deaths death of people and they're inviting them in
00:37:56.000 nobody they're rolling out the red carpet nobody's doing that so that's my point is that
00:37:59.880 christianity versus the muslim faith because it's been hijacked let's go to matt's point by the
00:38:05.180 political leaders they use that faith then more to try to cleanse and say here's what we want all
00:38:10.560 jews and all americans dead and be a muslim or else so maybe it's not the majority of the believers
00:38:15.860 matt i'll try to agree with you here but it is a majority of their leadership that pushes that you
00:38:20.620 gotta admit that what a sad thing to fight about what i know right who wants who dead more well the
00:38:25.740 crisis king thing is just i was about that too right and so that's the that's the this is the
00:38:31.740 the the nasty place that our that our politics is really going like why did this thing need to come
00:38:37.500 out talking about how crisis king has been co-opted by the far right there is a lot of religion
00:38:44.920 different leaders from different religions with concerns about this kind of like tribal religious
00:38:50.980 sort of one of the three things friends shouldn't discuss you know and so this crisis king stuff
00:38:56.660 i mean is really about a lot of uh jewish leaders and a lot of israeli folks i've seen that like we
00:39:04.600 think this crisis king stuff is being used as hate again as like a dog whistle yeah and that's ridiculous
00:39:10.860 signal hate against us i've heard that from so you know and that's yeah and so that's you know that
00:39:16.060 the groipers and nick went to say crisis king and what that means is that they really hate jews and
00:39:21.320 that's the that's the problem right is that well who gets to define that anyway in the first place
00:39:27.560 and so is there a you know is there there's the pope gonna come out and put out a statement on what
00:39:34.020 christ is king actually means right is that is that something like a religion language police that
00:39:39.220 decides this for all of us right we're allowed to say i think when three friends are having booze the
00:39:42.880 three things i was always taught we don't discuss right but since we're in the political game we
00:39:46.400 have to you don't talk politics religion or tell people to raise their kids that's the three things
00:39:51.540 you don't do to a friend there you go all right well let's talk about something more pleasant like
00:39:55.800 uh snow white oh gosh now we're going to hollywood and going we're going to hollywood because something
00:40:01.560 happened i'm gonna need a drink for that matt yes something happens interestingly so so they've put
00:40:05.420 all this money uh in snow white and they want to have the big hollywood premiere that you typically
00:40:11.320 see for the rollout of a major motion picture and they scale down disney scales down the red carpet
00:40:19.200 the premiere because they're too worried that the principal acting talent will make an errant comment
00:40:26.460 politically and drive off a good amount of the viewership and so like dan are you buying or selling
00:40:32.600 the future of hollywood premieres being grandiose or is this is now they have to they have to scale it
00:40:39.620 down because they're too afraid of the actors well as you learned about four or five episodes ago you
00:40:44.040 know i spent the first 14 years of my career doing entertainment news and covering red carpets i've
00:40:48.400 been to the grammys oscars and emmys tons of times in hollyweird on those red carpets and they've gone
00:40:53.980 downhill uh on their production and their size for years but i'll tell you i think what really hurt them
00:40:59.000 besides the going woke crap that we talk about all the time on this network is covid i think the american
00:41:04.460 people actually realized and found out that they're non-essential and so the viewership's down on these
00:41:10.700 shows on these big premieres plus don't forget you were just saying on two three episodes ago you
00:41:16.520 barely go to the movies anymore you wait and watch them at home so you can pause them and get a cocktail
00:41:20.120 and do whatever so i have an overactive bladder i think this whole you know the whole aura of hollywood
00:41:26.180 the whole facade they've been putting out there for decades to all of us it really got hammered away
00:41:30.280 during covid we realized they weren't essential and then as the wokeness continued through covid
00:41:35.180 because every damn celebrity came out and told us to take the jab and do this and do that and then
00:41:39.700 when it got even nastier in 2020 and then again in 24 with the political race between joe and trump
00:41:44.900 and then eventually kamala and trump i think that a majority of americans look at the numbers going to
00:41:49.660 theaters watching the award show award show season's now over right their numbers were horrible so i think
00:41:55.320 it's not just oh we're we're going to scale down the red carpets because our actors might say
00:41:59.980 stupid shit and then we won't get all the box office cashola i also think it's like why we
00:42:04.560 waste the money on all these spoiled kids let them out and dress up glamorous and act stupid
00:42:07.980 nobody's watching that crap nobody cares about it anymore do you i don't yeah but 20 years ago i did
00:42:13.180 i don't anymore i think all that's right actually i think all that is is exactly correct i think that
00:42:18.740 in this particular case the fact that they have to move away from something that was so definitional
00:42:24.100 for a movie launch because a viewer might see what an actor would say and be unwilling to buy that
00:42:31.400 movie or rent that movie it it goes to one of the core themes of the episode is are we moving to the
00:42:36.800 parallel economy now where there's going to be like the lefty movies and the right are we are we only
00:42:41.920 going to be allowed to see kevin sorbo films well you've seen what they're doing i mean trump's got his
00:42:47.560 three um ambassadors to hollywood right yes yes and and you see this thing from walberg and a bunch of
00:42:53.320 others pushing to film more stuff in nevada a bunch that moved to vegas film more down in louisiana
00:42:58.060 florida i mean everybody's pushing to get out of holly weird well i think that uh this is actually a
00:43:05.320 little simpler than what we think i think they want to prevent a big red carpet blow up between
00:43:10.760 the principal actress who's probably a i mean she's already proven to be woke but i would think that
00:43:16.000 she's probably on the palestine palestine side of of the israel oh now we're gonna do it uh-oh
00:43:22.100 the villain is a literal former idf soldier
00:43:25.540 i think that that there is you know a little about that there's a conflict within the conflict
00:43:33.920 that they're trying to minimize who runs that studio that's releasing it by the way it's a disney
00:43:37.640 film it's a disney movie so i think so i think that there's there's a little something going on
00:43:43.120 there but to the point that they they are so scared of their own talent right and this is the
00:43:48.260 way media works too this is what allows rachel maddow to go on her show and be like my execs my
00:43:54.760 company careful here wrong you know to take a breath here look at where you are before you say
00:44:00.120 what you're about to say about talent in the news business i'm just rip them all i'm saying i'm saying
00:44:06.200 there's there is certainly respect for hierarchy that generally happens but that doesn't you know that
00:44:11.260 doesn't i i think that in with a certain people especially when you get you get too big for your
00:44:16.800 britches like a disney or msnbc you know people really start thinking like oh i could just say
00:44:21.840 whatever i want the execs will be okay with it and i think that that there's some people who haven't
00:44:27.340 earned that who are who are trying to uh exercise that and these people are like i don't think ma'am i
00:44:34.680 don't think you understand you're gonna blow the audience of this of this whole movie by by you know
00:44:40.020 well i also think after after the rights big win in november i think hollywood and i heard this
00:44:44.720 i won't throw him under the bus but i heard this actually from two people i heard this from a high
00:44:49.000 executive at hulu he was one of the original seven or eight that started it and a buddy of mine that's
00:44:53.860 a producer actor in hollywood that was in well then i'll give it away he was in an academy award-winning
00:44:58.840 film in the last five years let's put it that way and both these guys told me and they're more
00:45:03.860 center they're not me they're not to the right they're like look dude we all saw what the hell
00:45:09.120 happened with trump and the big win hollywood's all abuzz they were talking about this shit in
00:45:12.840 november we all get it we don't like it we're not going to talk about it we're just going to
00:45:17.520 go where the green is because then that's all they care about so i think that the reason they're
00:45:20.940 canceling this too is well both you're saying they didn't want to blow up it could cost them
00:45:24.700 sales and they don't want any more of that crap because now they know the country still is
00:45:28.720 center right like it's always been and hollywood and so they're all going to do that dan is this now
00:45:34.140 the future not all but i think you're going to see a lot of the studios start coming back to more
00:45:38.940 patriotic and family programming because they realize all that woke crap right an hbo show and
00:45:44.440 a showtime show that's like just all a bunch of there is one i'm pretty sure correct me if i'm wrong
00:45:49.440 you guys probably watch more than i do there's a show on either showtime hbo that's all black
00:45:53.260 transgender people did i see that i mean there's a show you fall for an internet meme and then there's
00:45:59.120 no no i watched clips of it there's a show it's all yeah i'm serious and then what what a few years
00:46:03.780 ago they had all the little kids running around and i mean the nasty shows that they're putting on
00:46:08.540 out there i think they realized okay we were virtue signaling before we were trying to look progressive
00:46:14.640 but the country just told us in the november 5th vote they don't like that crap so why would we keep
00:46:19.940 producing it because at the end of the day what are studio execs like not being woke they're freaking
00:46:25.880 paycheck so you're gonna see entertainment start skewing back towards i'm not gonna say conservative
00:46:33.200 but let's be real no more you know an entire cast something just original yeah yeah don't make
00:46:40.640 everything i'm just fine if there's not a transgender dwarf well there's not allowed to be dwarves
00:46:46.220 anymore because there's no more little people don't matt don't say that wow i mean otherwise peter
00:46:51.560 dinklage would have been you know it's no white and the seven little people now as the first dwarf but
00:46:56.660 uh but we don't get peter dinklage either no because yeah it's they won't even the little people yeah
00:47:01.440 they won't because it's you're not allowed to do that we will we will try to save but i think more
00:47:05.380 will come up by the way programming note but because i know we only have a few minutes left
00:47:08.600 because people are like where's scott libado um we had some technical issues and uncle scotty as he
00:47:14.960 likes to be called uncle scotty couldn't make it we're going to get him on hopefully next week or
00:47:19.060 following weeks but we'll get scott on trust me if you don't know who scott libado is you haven't
00:47:23.360 watched any of our shows with him on you need to go look him up do your do your homework do your
00:47:27.720 research uh he will be entertaining he will make this podcast i think vish got a text that he needed
00:47:32.520 bail money so it was and hey look before we go rfk jr has called it out big pharma and the government
00:47:41.180 worked together to suppress treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine why because
00:47:45.520 if they admitted those treatments worked then they couldn't rush through the experimental covid vaccine
00:47:50.060 and let's be honest the big pharmaceutical companies weren't about to let effective alternatives cut
00:47:55.000 into their billion dollar payday they didn't just push the vaccine they made sure that there were
00:47:59.440 no other options big pharma wanted to be in charge of your health not you they wanted total control
00:48:04.220 and they wanted to use the government to get it that's why i trust all family pharmacy they provide
00:48:08.620 ivermectin hydroxychloroquine antibiotics and so much more the very medications they tried to keep
00:48:14.000 out of your hands now you can get it with no red tape no corporate pressure just real options and it's
