00:01:53.000 We are here with the appropriate thought crimes for you.

00:01:55.000 I believe we have Blake, we have Tyler, and do we have Jack?

00:02:01.000 That's right, we have a full roster here.

00:02:03.000 Blake, Tyler, and Jack.

00:02:05.000 Lots to get into, and the last couple weeks we've kind of been doing political analysis.

00:02:10.000 Blake, I have to say, I saw a little bit of breakdancing.

00:02:13.000 I was pretty impressed by what I saw, but the world is losing its mind.

00:02:17.000 And I saw this clip of some Australian woman, and I finally said to myself, I could do that. 0.93

00:02:23.000 I could be an Olympic athlete.

00:02:24.000 I finally found something I could do.

00:02:26.000 Not all the breakdancers, but one in particular.

00:02:29.000 Blake, explain.

00:02:30.000 All right, so we have new sports every Olympics.

00:02:33.000 They always are trying to make it hip and cool for young people, and it was really convoluted.

00:02:38.000 The full story is funny.

00:02:39.000 There are ballroom dancing enthusiasts who've been fighting for years to have ballroom dancing in the Olympics, but it's perceived as an old-fashioned activity.

00:02:49.000 If you want to call it a sport, go for it.

00:02:51.000 And so they thought, we need to get something in the door.

00:02:53.000 And so they got the International Olympic Committee to add breakdancing, which they renamed Breaking, just breaking, to make it a sport.

00:03:02.000 And they added it in, and they had at least a one-off gold medal breaking event for men's and women's in the Olympics in Paris.

00:03:12.000 They did it in the final weekend of the Olympics just before the closing ceremonies.

00:03:17.000 And rather notoriously, this woman calling herself Ray Gunn, they actually went by their dancer nicknames in the Olympics, which was pretty amazing. 0.98

00:03:26.000 and she entered as the woman from Australia and she was not very good at break dancing.

00:03:33.000 We can see our B-roll there.

00:03:36.000 She's more impressive than I would be. 0.93

00:03:38.000 You're pretty confident you could do it, Charlie.

00:03:40.000 I probably could not do these moves.

00:03:41.000 I am truly the worst dancer in the world.

00:03:42.000 I mean, if it was my job...

00:03:44.000 No, I mean, but that's not dancing.

00:03:47.000 That's just kind of rhythmic movements.

00:03:49.000 I mean, if that's your full-time job to be an Olympic athlete, is there anything that you're looking there, guys, that you're saying, no, I can't do that?

00:03:57.000 I want the breakdancing dad to get in on this.

00:04:00.000 Do you guys remember the breakdancing dad who was having that, like, war on TikTok with his daughter?

00:04:05.000 He was, like, this 60-year-old guy, and she was, like, attacking him, and then he started making these, like, really long, detailed videos about her.

00:04:14.000 It went super viral.

00:04:15.000 Yeah, that was really brutal, because I just came away kind of thinking less of both people involved.

00:04:21.000 I, like, it was a very sad... I love the way...

00:04:24.000 I love the way he was explaining things.

00:04:25.000 He was a 65-year-old breakdancing dad, Trump supporter, and would have these really detailed rebuttals to his daughter.

00:04:34.000 He'd be like, she says I didn't raise them and went off to pursue breakdancing.

00:04:39.000 Well, here's photos of us together.

00:04:41.000 Here's a list of things that I got her for her birthday overall.

00:04:44.000 And he would have each itemized gift.

00:04:47.000 You know, when I look, there's something about the breakdancing community.

00:04:50.000 I'm telling you, this is not, you know, I didn't even think, can I just say, I didn't know that breakdancing was a thing after like Vanilla Ice stopped being a thing.

00:04:59.000 So where is all this coming from?

00:05:02.000 So Charlie's confident he could do it, but let's show, just to show it's not all Ray Gunn doing weird kangaroo moves.

00:05:08.000 To be clear, hold on, to be clear, I could not, I could score a zero in breakdancing.

00:05:12.000 The people that actually won medals did stuff that I couldn't even get close to doing.

00:05:16.000 Show 158, show 158.

00:05:18.000 It's b-roll, it's b-roll, so you can keep talking, but I wanted to show it.

00:05:22.000 And that is Phil Wizard, the gold medal for... He was from Canada, I believe.

00:05:27.000 No, I mean, come on.

00:05:27.000 That's completely out of control.

00:05:29.000 I couldn't even get... Of course!

00:05:30.000 No, no, no, no.

00:05:32.000 No, that's what I said.

00:05:33.000 I actually watched some of the breaking final and I was like, I can't do any of that.

00:05:36.000 And then this Australian person goes viral and I didn't see it live.

00:05:39.000 I was like, this has got to be a joke.

00:05:42.000 Did you guys watch the wall climbing?

00:05:44.000 I did not know it was sport climbing.

00:05:46.000 That was really impressive.

00:05:47.000 The only part of the Olympics I've actually watched.

00:05:49.000 Oh man, I could not, as soon as that came on, I couldn't take my eyes off wall climbing.

00:05:54.000 Is it speed climbing?

00:05:56.000 It's speed climbing.

00:05:57.000 It's like straight up the face of a wall without hardly even touching anything within seconds.

00:06:01.000 It was the craziest thing to watch.

00:06:03.000 Are they like harnessed?

00:06:05.000 They're harnessed, but they go so fast that it's like they hardly touch anything.

00:06:10.000 It's like Spider-Man walking up a wall.

00:06:12.000 It's crazy.

00:06:13.000 It's like they levitate.

00:06:16.000 That's pretty cool.

00:06:17.000 I'm trying to think what else could they... So there's a big debate on whether breakdancing belongs.

00:06:22.000 And what's funny is a lot of people in the breaking community, they debate this because for some of them they say it's an artistic aesthetic thing.

00:06:31.000 And once you make it a sport, you have to be able to judge it.

00:06:35.000 objectively. So like you take away, you know, you won't innovate and break dancing because you won't

00:06:39.000 get prizes for that necessarily. And that apparently is what happened in figure skating,

00:06:44.000 like figure skating used to be a much more artistic medium.

00:06:48.000 And then as the Winter Olympics got more popular, you had these codified ways of scoring

00:06:53.000 figure skating, and now it's much more rote what you actually do. And.

00:06:58.000 And same with gymnastics, I think.

00:06:59.000 There's much more emphasis on basically, can you do this many backflips, which has been great for the US because we're good at producing backflip doers, but there's way less Wasn't something that happened with skateboarding?

00:07:12.000 exercise than there used to be.

00:07:14.000 So it's kind of an interesting question.

00:07:16.000 I looked this up and in the old like in the really early Olympics,

00:07:20.000 they had things like like painting and sculpting were in the Olympics

00:07:23.000 and you would just do a painting or sculpture on an athletic subject

00:07:27.000 and you could get a medal in that be kind of cool to bring that back.

00:07:29.000 Wasn't wasn't something something that happened with skateboarding

00:07:33.000 because I remember like like Tony Hawk won a gold medal or something

00:07:37.000 in the 90s, but then like they removed it from the Olympics and

00:07:41.000 and then they brought it back or something.

00:07:42.000 Like, it was... I'm trying to remember.

00:07:44.000 I've done enough Tim Pool episodes where I'm sure he's talked about it, and I'm, like, looking at my phone.

00:07:49.000 But I know that that's something that went on with skateboarding, where it was sort of like, it was a sport, then it wasn't a sport, then it is going to be an Olympic sport.

00:07:57.000 That it was won again?

00:07:58.000 I think it's only been... Maybe it was a demonstration event earlier.

00:08:03.000 They sometimes do that.

00:08:04.000 They used to do demonstration events that wouldn't get medals.

00:08:07.000 Right.

00:08:07.000 Now they only do... I think they've only done it in this Olympics and the last one.

00:08:12.000 And apparently Japan is amazing at Olympic skateboarding.

00:08:15.000 They have won... There are eight total gold medals in skateboarding in the last two Olympics.

00:08:20.000 And Japan's won five of them.

00:08:22.000 So America's getting clowned on in Olympic skateboarding, it seems.

00:08:26.000 Blake, what is the point of the Olympics?

00:08:30.000 Why do you think that the Olympics exist and are they serving that purpose?

00:08:36.000 Well, I don't know.

00:08:38.000 I think originally the idea was, like, the Olympics should be about, you know, the brotherhood of mankind and celebrating high levels of academic achievement.

00:08:47.000 But it appears the main things about the Olympics are allowing, like, various autocracies to show off and also, like, I don't know, like, weird demonic opening ceremonies.

00:09:00.000 Those seem to be the two main purposes of the Olympics.

00:09:02.000 And then they have some athletic stuff.

00:09:04.000 I'm a sucker for the Olympics.

00:09:05.000 I like it.

00:09:07.000 Obviously, all the pagan stuff, whatever.

00:09:09.000 Some of my best memories growing up were watching the Olympics and cheering for the country I loved.

00:09:13.000 Of course, it's fallen from grace and some of the athletes are just hard to watch and how they behave and how they disregard the country.

00:09:20.000 Let's put 159, as I'm saying. 0.69

00:09:21.000 This is Tyler's speed climbing.

00:09:23.000 But I will say, despite China has an entire bureau of Olympic training, just so we are clear.

00:09:29.000 That's Tyler's sport right there.

00:09:31.000 It's insane.

00:09:32.000 I agree.

00:09:33.000 It was super impressive.

00:09:34.000 Like in six seconds, you get up the wall.

00:09:36.000 That's the women too. 1.00

00:09:37.000 The men were going faster.

00:09:39.000 Just kidding.

00:09:40.000 Oh yeah.

00:09:41.000 China's, well no it's true. 0.99

00:09:43.000 China spends hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe even billions of their government money

00:09:49.000 trying to develop the best sharpshooters.

00:09:52.000 We don't do any of that in this country, which is, I think, kind of cool.

00:09:55.000 The fact that it's all largely organic, and it's largely just people that dedicate themselves to the craft.

00:10:01.000 And we tied China in gold medals.

00:10:02.000 That's all that really matters, by the way, the gold medal count.

00:10:05.000 There's like this new psy-op, by the way, in the media, where they try to tell you, oh, America's leading in total medals, but we're tied.

00:10:12.000 All that matters is gold medals.

00:10:15.000 You can easily get up It was our 2008 Olympics, yeah.

00:10:20.000 I think that was the first time they did that.

00:10:23.000 Yeah, when China won all the golds.

00:10:24.000 And by the way, when you host an Olympics, you have a huge built-in advantage.

00:10:28.000 Not only is it home field advantage, the crowd is with you.

00:10:31.000 You know all of the training grounds early.

00:10:33.000 You're able to get access to all of them months, sometimes even years in advance.

00:10:37.000 You also are able to fill a lot of slots if you're the host country.

00:10:40.000 Just by being the host country, you're able to have more people compete.

00:10:42.000 So there's definitely home field advantage.

00:10:44.000 That's why France did well.

00:10:45.000 That's why UK London did well in 2012.

00:10:49.000 Anyway, I'm a sucker for the Olympics.

00:10:50.000 What it should be, Jack, is an appreciation of excellence in people that really harness their craft and what country is able to achieve that excellence.

00:10:58.000 Collectively, if you will, in the best way.

00:11:01.000 And I mean collectively in the most non-communistic, non-Kamala Harris way possible.

00:11:05.000 What the Olympics has kind of become is, and Blake is right, is what country can either cheat the most. 0.63

00:11:09.000 China's their bunch of cheaters. 1.00

00:11:11.000 Russia was not even in this Olympics. 0.80

00:11:12.000 By the way, you want to talk about a complete blackout in our media?

00:11:16.000 Russia did not compete in this Olympics.

00:11:18.000 There was almost no mention of that in our media.

00:11:20.000 And it was all because of the war with Ukraine.

00:11:22.000 And so Russia's almost always up there with the medal count. 0.91

00:11:25.000 They're a bunch of cheaters too, especially when it comes to gymnastics.

00:11:28.000 And so it was sad watching parts of this Olympics.

00:11:31.000 Part of it I thought was really great and really inspiring.

00:11:34.000 I love watching the swimmers because that's objectively one of the hardest things to do and that I think has still been, it's been corrupted by a lot of doping and stuff like that.

00:11:42.000 But some of the sports that China was winning in were just these obscure like table

00:11:48.000 tennis.

00:11:49.000 Skeet shooting. 0.65

00:11:51.000 I mean stuff that is not it's just it's not exactly mainline Olympic events

00:11:55.000 that you would think about and America still dominates in track and field.

00:11:59.000 I will say that was really really neat to see still dominating the track and field.

00:12:02.000 The question is for you guys what sport that is not yet an Olympic sport

00:12:06.000 should be added as an Olympic sport paintball paintball.

00:12:10.000 Wow.

00:12:12.000 I feel like I haven't heard about paintball since 2003 or so.

00:12:15.000 It was really, really big then.

00:12:18.000 The J.D.

00:12:18.000 Vance voters agree with Jack.

00:12:22.000 Paintball's cool, paintball's cool.

00:12:23.000 It just does feel like it's fallen off.

00:12:25.000 People get creeped out, they thought it was like mass shooting.

00:12:28.000 So paintball fell off because the problem with it is that speedball Is usually the more spectator sport, the more competitive version of paintball and speedball is just kind of like, I don't know, it kind of sucks.

00:12:40.000 Speedball is just like whoever gets the most expensive equipment, whoever gets the, uh, the marker that fires the most, you know, with like the, you know, electronic hopper and everything.

00:12:52.000 It's like zip, zip, zip.

00:12:53.000 And then you can shoot the most and you win the end.

00:12:55.000 So it just becomes like a gear fight, whereas the the actual much more fun version of paintball, much more interesting version of paintball is Woodsball.

00:13:03.000 That's the original version of it.

00:13:05.000 And that's where it's two teams and you've got like a much wider space, a wider area.

00:13:11.000 So it requires strategy.

00:13:12.000 It requires cunning.

00:13:14.000 It's it's basically like small unit tactics in the infantry, something like that.

00:13:18.000 So, you know, I've always enjoyed that version of paintball much, much more than speedball.

00:13:23.000 How about you Tyler?

00:13:25.000 I'm excited because the 2028 Olympics are going to have lacrosse in them.

00:13:29.000 It's modified lacrosse.

00:13:31.000 It's 6v6, so it's like box lacrosse type rules.

00:13:37.000 There's no long poles, but it's still cool.

00:13:40.000 It's almost a guaranteed win for the Americans if we put together a decent team.

00:13:44.000 All right, okay.

00:13:46.000 We'll have all the last rows.

00:13:48.000 I think dodgeball.

00:13:49.000 Dodgeball?

00:13:50.000 Okay.

00:13:50.000 I'm just gonna give a troll answer.

00:13:52.000 I think it'd be fun if we revived some of the ancient Greek events that have fallen into abeyance.

00:13:57.000 Okay.

00:13:58.000 One, this would legit be good.

00:14:00.000 Pankration, which you could probably just do as basically modern UFC mixed martial arts.

00:14:05.000 Pankration was ancient Greek.

00:14:08.000 It was like anything goes wrestling and you just went until someone said uncle.

00:14:13.000 And the only things that were banned, I think, were like squeezing someone's junk, eye gouging, and biting.

00:14:20.000 And I think everything else went.

00:14:22.000 And there's like accounts from ancient Greece where like someone would...

00:14:26.000 I think a guy wins the Pankration final and then like immediately dies.

00:14:30.000 Oh yeah.

00:14:31.000 It's crazy.

00:14:32.000 The other thing that'd be cool.

00:14:33.000 They had a armored race.

00:14:35.000 So you would race while wearing battle armor Okay, it would be like a full like 200 meter dash but wearing a full suit of ancient Greek armor And then they had like ancient pentathlon.

00:14:47.000 So we have the modern pentathlon which was ripping this off So the modern pentathlon is this weird track sport where it's I think it's is it running?

00:14:56.000 riding a horse uh... pistol shooting

00:15:00.000 uh... and a few other events and it's sort of supposed to be skills that would

00:15:04.000 be useful for a modern soldier caught behind enemy lines but

00:15:09.000 they had the ancient pentathlon which was basically i think the same deal but it was ancient so it had javelin

00:15:15.000 throw and a few other things so we should bring that all back and of course they

00:15:19.000 should all compete in the nude because

00:15:21.000 we have to be as as trad as possible are you guys gonna go to the LA games

00:15:25.000 It's four years from now.

00:15:27.000 Will we have a country in four years?

00:15:28.000 That'll kind of depend on what happens.

00:15:31.000 There'll be something called America. 0.82

00:15:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:15:35.000 It's gonna be so frustrating where they like clean up the city of LA for six months in advance and it becomes this world-class city for like six months and it's really beautiful and there's no bums or homeless or overdosing or gang violence and then the minute of closing ceremonies it just goes back to the purge.

00:15:49.000 Exactly.

00:15:49.000 That's what's gonna happen.

00:15:51.000 It is interesting what you mentioned.

00:15:52.000 It really is.

00:15:53.000 Communism fails at basically everything, but it is good at winning athletic events.

00:15:59.000 I'm looking at old medal tables.

00:16:00.000 In 1988, which was not one we boycotted, in 1988 the US lost in medals to East Germany,

00:16:10.000 a country with like 15 million people. And if you look at the top 10...

00:16:15.000 Well, and that was in Seoul, South Korea.

00:16:17.000 Yes, it was in Seoul and five of the top ten countries were in the Soviet bloc.

00:16:21.000 Soviets were number one, then the East Germans, and then Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania were six, seven, and eight. 0.94

00:16:29.000 Those commies were really good at sports. 0.99

00:16:30.000 I want to make a pitch for Zorbing.

00:16:32.000 I just put it in the chat.

00:16:33.000 Are you guys familiar with Zorbing?

00:16:36.000 What is this?

00:16:36.000 This would be the Winter Olympics, right?

00:16:38.000 Well, I think you could do this.

00:16:41.000 I think you could do this on any landscape.

00:16:42.000 It's just there's higher mountains, higher elevations.

00:16:45.000 So Zorbin, you get in this big ball and they push it and it's like you just go crazy.

00:16:50.000 It's like a hamster ball and you go down a huge mountain.

00:16:54.000 And the one that the one I dropped in the chat was some guy in Russia.

00:16:57.000 They pushed him down.

00:17:00.000 I shouldn't be laughing.

00:17:01.000 They push him down the mountain and he literally dies.

00:17:03.000 Where is this a sport?

00:17:05.000 Do you do anything after you start bowling?

00:17:07.000 I guess Russia has to make it back into the Olympics before we can do this again.

00:17:12.000 It's the big hamster ball.

00:17:15.000 You get in it and they push you.

00:17:17.000 And you go really fast.

00:17:19.000 Are there obstacles when you steer?

00:17:21.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:17:22.000 We should have massive courses for this.

00:17:25.000 It should be incredible.

00:17:27.000 I agree.

00:17:27.000 It should be Winter Olympics.

00:17:29.000 I might go to the 2026 Olympics in Italy.

00:17:32.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:32.000 What was the year that it was the Russian Olympics?

00:17:36.000 I think it was 1980 where the Russia, the Soviet Union had the Olympics in 1980, and then the U.S.

00:17:42.000 didn't even go.

00:17:43.000 But then they had their own games in Philadelphia.

00:17:48.000 Yeah.

00:17:48.000 And like China, it was like China and China and Japan came because it was after the Sino-Soviet split and West Germany competed.

00:17:56.000 But like a bunch of countries had this like You know, separate, almost like a NATO Olympics versus the real Olympics, which were held in Moscow.

00:18:06.000 That's back when the Winter and the Summer Olympics were held in the same year.

00:18:09.000 So 1980 was like Placid Olympics when we hosted the Winter Olympics.

00:18:13.000 And then the Summer Olympics were there, and now we do them.

00:18:16.000 Yeah, no, no, you're right.

00:18:17.000 No, the 1980 Summer Olympics were in Moscow.

00:18:20.000 And we boycotted the Summer Olympics, but we hosted the Winter Olympics because it was in Lake Placid, New York.

00:18:26.000 And then we started to skewer them.

00:18:28.000 The Olympic Committee said, OK, well, that's the sport, Tyler.

00:18:31.000 Oh, yeah, that's Zorbian. 1.00

00:18:33.000 That's the guy who didn't make it.

00:18:36.000 That's the Russian. 0.93

00:18:37.000 So yeah, every year since 1992, they were the same year.

00:18:41.000 And then 1994, they decided to go summer-winter in different years.

00:18:44.000 Which I actually think is pretty good.

00:18:46.000 The Winter Olympics has, I think, sports that are cooler and higher risk to your life.

00:18:53.000 I mean, there are some things in the Winter Olympics... I think it was Sochi the guy who died on the skeleton course.

00:18:58.000 It was the skeleton, yeah.

00:19:00.000 They don't call it a skeleton.

00:19:02.000 A skeleton's a legit thing.

00:19:03.000 Is a skeleton for land?

00:19:06.000 So let's make a commitment to our listeners.

00:19:09.000 Will thought crime come together and we will compete in 2026 Olympic curling?

00:19:16.000 I remember when they first added that, I think the U.S.

00:19:18.000 team in curling was literally the men's and women's local teams for curling in Bemidji, Minnesota.

00:19:24.000 So you pretty much could if you were back then.

00:19:27.000 Now it's harder.

00:19:28.000 Now people do this seriously.

00:19:30.000 Curling is serious business.

00:19:33.000 Oh, I know, but there's no athletic acumen, meaning that there's guys with beer bellies that do it.

00:19:38.000 It's incredibly precise and very hard, but it's not exactly you have to get in the gym and train all day long.

00:19:45.000 I mean, you have to be there training the actual craft of it.

00:19:48.000 But I think we should submit a bid.

00:19:50.000 I think we should try to compete.

00:19:52.000 I was looking at weird sports while we were talking about it.

00:19:54.000 Did you know there's something called chess boxing?

00:19:57.000 Yes.

00:19:59.000 We should have chess in the Olympics, by the way.

00:20:01.000 Oh, there was a whole debate about this.

00:20:03.000 No, chess isn't a sport.

00:20:05.000 But it's a competition.

00:20:06.000 You just want to lose?

00:20:07.000 You just want to give up?

00:20:08.000 We should have games in the Olympics, too.

00:20:09.000 Like, true games of skill.

00:20:10.000 You just want China and Russia to just beat us every time? 0.96

00:20:13.000 We shouldn't be adding sports.

00:20:14.000 We just know we're going to lose that.

00:20:16.000 No, no.

00:20:17.000 See, that's a mistake.

00:20:19.000 America's gotten actually better over the last 20 years and closed the chess gap, believe it or not.

00:20:23.000 If you look at the international chess rankings.

00:20:26.000 The number one chess player in the world, I think, is like Lithuanian, right? 1.00

00:20:30.000 That one guy?

00:20:30.000 Norwegian, Magnus Carlsen.

00:20:32.000 Let me see.

00:20:33.000 No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:20:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

00:20:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:20:35.000 Magnus Carlsen, yeah.

00:20:37.000 The guy's unbelievable.

00:20:39.000 Wait, but have you seen this chess boxing?

00:20:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:20:42.000 It's like you do a few minutes of chess.

00:20:44.000 That's right, yeah.

00:20:45.000 We have number two and three in chess.

00:20:47.000 Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruna are both U.S., yeah.

00:20:52.000 And the best is Magnus Carlsen.

00:20:54.000 It's not even close.

00:20:55.000 They say he's the best ever to play the game.

00:20:56.000 Better than Bobby Fischer.

00:20:57.000 Gilbert, Arizona used to be the chess capital of America.

00:21:00.000 Did you know that?

00:21:01.000 Why?

00:21:01.000 Is that right?

00:21:02.000 Yeah, it was for a while.

00:21:04.000 It's like Bobby Fischer going home there for a while.

00:21:06.000 All the elementary schools were like the best in the country in chess.

00:21:09.000 It was like a really weird thing.

00:21:10.000 Wow.

00:21:11.000 Yeah, it was crazy.

00:21:12.000 Is that in like the Word of Wisdom or something?

00:21:13.000 You know Magnus Carlsen?

00:21:15.000 Magnus Carlsen will show up late to matches against people, meaning like when his time is still running out, and he'll still, he'll literally just like be distracted texting people and will still win.

00:21:26.000 He's the greatest ever to play.

00:21:28.000 Yeah, he's got it figured out.

00:21:30.000 I think it'll be fun in the Olympics.

00:21:31.000 The problem is truly it would have to be like Blitz Chess or whatever because the true like the World Chess Championship when they're actually contesting it is deranged.

00:21:39.000 It'll be like I think they'll spend a whole day on a game and they'll play 14-15 days straight and eight or nine of the matches will just be draws because with high-level chess players most of their games are just draws now.

00:21:51.000 See, the problem is... No, you have to use a timer, though, Blake.

00:21:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:54.000 That's the problem.

00:21:55.000 The problem is... You have to use a timer.

00:21:56.000 The problem is a slippery slope here, guys.

00:21:58.000 Like, if you introduce chess, all of a sudden we're going to have, like, Starcraft?

00:22:02.000 Settlers of Catan?

00:22:03.000 No, it's going to be a board game.

00:22:04.000 There's going to be, like, literal board game people who are going to be, like, demanding this.

00:22:09.000 We'll have creative writing.

00:22:11.000 It's just we're gonna get to a point we're gonna get to a point in like a hundred years from now where nobody wants to leave their house.

00:22:16.000 It's just gonna be like lame sports and the Olympics will look totally different.

00:22:19.000 I'm an Olympic maximalist.

00:22:21.000 Every event should be in the Olympics.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, but that that's wrong and here's the reason why.

00:22:27.000 Because they're never they're going to omit.

00:22:29.000 So America wanted to have football as our sport because you know the home country can pick the sport.

00:22:35.000 It's flag football.

00:22:37.000 It's flag football.

00:22:39.000 We shouldn't stand for this.

00:22:40.000 It's in America.

00:22:41.000 We should be playing full-contact football.

00:22:44.000 Who do we play against?

00:22:45.000 Canada?

00:22:46.000 Australia?

00:22:46.000 Honestly, our flag football... It's interesting.

00:22:51.000 When they added 3-on-3 basketball, we thought we would win, and we didn't even make the medal rounds.

00:22:55.000 We got smoked.

00:22:56.000 None of our best players want to play 3-on-3 basketball.

00:22:59.000 Yeah, they put up Jimmer for debt. 1.00

00:23:00.000 It should, this is stupid. 0.99

00:23:02.000 I know, Jim or Fredette. 1.00

00:23:03.000 Jim or Fredette like got hurt like the second game.

00:23:06.000 What they should have done is they should have had the best college players that are coming back for one more year to

00:23:11.000 play on the three-on-three basketball.

00:23:13.000 And they could win a gold medal.

00:23:14.000 It would have been great practice for them.

00:23:15.000 There's apparently a technicality where you have to have played in the 3-on-3 tournaments before this, and that's a big reason we don't have a good team.

00:23:22.000 Oh, is that right?

00:23:23.000 NBA players, like it's during the NBA season, they can't get released to go play these.

00:23:27.000 Oh, that's why there's no NBA guys who can compete.

00:23:30.000 Oh, OK. They answer the question because I was going to say my solution was Charlie was

00:23:34.000 the people who are on the FIBA team who don't make the Olympics team should be on our three V3D.

00:23:41.000 You know, like, so we had to be like your career.

00:23:45.000 We lost the FIBA championship the last year, which was super embarrassing.

00:23:50.000 So you had guys on there, great guys, great NBA players, but they lost the FIBA championship.

00:23:56.000 My solution was whoever is on that team that doesn't make the Olympic team, like the 5v5 team, then you put them on the 3v3 team.

00:24:04.000 But that makes sense actually, that they have to participate in the lead up.

00:24:09.000 But there has to be a way that the NBA can figure this out.

00:24:12.000 We lost to Germany and we lost to Canada in the FIBA last year.

00:24:16.000 And we had Jalen Brunson, like we had actually good players.

00:24:19.000 And Mikkel Bridges, and like, it was like a good team.

00:24:22.000 Like it was a good team.

00:24:23.000 Anthony Edwards, yeah.

00:24:24.000 And their punishment, they should have had to play in the 3v3.

00:24:27.000 If you want a thought crime, if you watch USA Basketball and you watch these other teams, the window of USA Basketball dominance is closing.

00:24:34.000 And that's really, it's really fascinating to see.

00:24:37.000 The NBA has had foreign MVPs for quite some time.

00:24:41.000 Steve Kerr benching Jason Tatum, the reigning MVP for literally every game, was one of the most, like, inexcusable moves.

00:24:48.000 I mean, Devin Booker's fine.

00:24:50.000 I wouldn't put him at the same level as Jason Tatum.

00:24:53.000 And Devin Booker played, like, the entire Olympics.

00:24:55.000 Tyler, you're an NBA fan.

00:24:57.000 Can you help me understand why you just benched Jason Tatum, the reigning MVP who just won an NBA Finals for the entire game?

00:25:03.000 Devon Booker, you want to talk objective?

00:25:05.000 Objectively, Devon Booker's a better fit for the starting lineup.

00:25:10.000 No.

00:25:11.000 Yeah, he was an off the ball, didn't demand the ball.

00:25:16.000 Jason Tatum demands the ball.

00:25:18.000 That's the problem.

00:25:19.000 You have Steph Curry on the court.

00:25:20.000 You have KD at the end there.

00:25:22.000 You have LeBron.

00:25:24.000 You can't have Jason Tatum on there.

00:25:25.000 It'd be just all ball hogs. 1.00

00:25:28.000 Ryan in the chat is saying we should have Olympic Quidditch which that gets at the funny thing that I think quidditch is like not even called quidditch anymore because like of the whole the turf thing so they call it like quad ball or something stupid like that yeah yeah quidditch officially known as quad ball since 2022 because oh can't can't have the turf name oh oh my god I hate people Yeah, but what about the Peter Thiel thing?

00:25:59.000 You guys know about the Peter Thiel thing, right?

00:26:01.000 That he was back.

00:26:02.000 He and a bunch of guys like Balaji's in on this as well.

00:26:06.000 They're backing something called the Enhanced Games.

00:26:09.000 So everybody knows, of course, that in the Olympics you get tested, you know, no performance enhancing drugs, no PEDs.

00:26:16.000 But Peter Thiel and a bunch of guys are actually supporting a new Olympics Games where you're allowed to take basically whatever you want.

00:26:26.000 I think that will be like cool exactly up until the point that one of the competitors literally like dies because he'll take some absolutely insane drug regimen and then it will be controversial and someone will go to prison.

00:26:40.000 You know this was that was an SNL sketch years ago and it was um Bill Hartman was the weightlifter and he went to like let's say he was dead lifting and he was dead lifting like Just some insane amount like 1500 pounds or something and then he tears his arms off and the blood starts going all over.

00:26:59.000 It is interesting to imagine like what is physically possible when you go all out but Yeah, it's also unpleasant.

00:27:09.000 Going all out probably literally would kill a person.

00:27:12.000 And there are people who would be willing to make that exchange.

00:27:14.000 I feel like the defense people would say is, guys who go into the NFL are definitely shortening their lifespan and hurting their health to make a ton of money.

00:27:23.000 So, is it that much worse to just directly do it with drugs as opposed to by playing 500 football games over the course of your life?

00:27:32.000 Any closing thoughts on the Olympics, guys, before we move on?

00:27:34.000 You know, I think it would be more fun.

00:27:36.000 So, I heard that the IOC is only going to be doing the Olympics in, like, the same locations for ease.

00:27:42.000 Did you hear about this?

00:27:43.000 Oh, is this just, like, countries were fed up with having to spend, like, $100 billion to host, so they're just gonna go to cities that can host them without a lot of press?

00:27:51.000 Yeah, that's what I understand.

00:27:52.000 I don't know if, like, I haven't really fact-checked this, I've just been, like, just heard this secondhand, is that they're doing that.

00:27:58.000 Which I think is super lame.

00:27:59.000 I think they should have to do the Olympics in, like, the most terrifying of places.

00:28:05.000 And I think that should make it more fun.

00:28:08.000 You remember when you used to sit down at the arcade and you sit down at a video game, like a car racing game, and you would illogically be driving a sports car through the African desert, like through the Sahara or wherever?

00:28:24.000 I think that the game should be played that way.

00:28:27.000 It should be whatever's there.

00:28:32.000 There should be a limit to how much they have to spend, they can spend to build stadiums and stuff like that, but it should be legitimately difficult.

00:28:38.000 We could go all in.

00:28:39.000 You could just have, they don't tell you what sports are in the Olympics until you show up.

00:28:43.000 That too!

00:28:43.000 You just have to pick athletes and you send them there.

00:28:45.000 That's it!

00:28:45.000 They're playing Calvin Ball.

00:28:47.000 Okay, I like this!

00:28:47.000 And they just make up the rules on the spot.

00:28:49.000 That would be a cool, that would be cool is like you just have like an elite group of like athletes and then they all have to play different sports.

00:28:57.000 They draw straws.

00:28:58.000 That would be cool. 0.99

00:29:00.000 I'm just saying, I just think it's stupid that it's the same place, same venues. 0.96

00:29:03.000 I get it, I get it. 0.94

00:29:06.000 I think it should be different venues, but that's just, I don't know.

00:29:10.000 Final thoughts on that.

00:29:11.000 Well, the upcoming Olympics in 2028 is Los Angeles.

00:29:17.000 In 2030 is the French Alps.

00:29:19.000 That one will actually be pretty good.

00:29:22.000 And then 2032 will be in Australia.

00:29:25.000 Brisbane, Australia.

00:29:27.000 And then 2034, Salt Lake City.

00:29:31.000 So America gets another one in 2034.

00:29:32.000 And LA I'm excited about because it'll be our same time zone.

00:29:35.000 Yeah, no, seriously, I totally agree.

00:29:37.000 I'm going to go to the L.A.

00:29:38.000 Olympics for sure.

00:29:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:29:40.000 We've got some friends there involved, so that will be... And we have the World Cup!

00:29:44.000 We have the World Cup coming in 2026.

00:29:46.000 I refuse to be excited about the World Cup.

00:29:49.000 Because it's lame.

00:29:51.000 Soccer is terrible.

00:29:52.000 I am not going to accept... No, Blake. 0.87

00:29:54.000 I will not accept the popularization of this depraved British sport.

00:30:00.000 You're being overly contrarian.

00:30:01.000 Stop it.

00:30:01.000 In my country, I reject soccer.

00:30:05.000 Have you ever been in a country that, while the World Cup is going on, where they love the World Cup?

00:30:09.000 No.

00:30:10.000 Why would I do that?

00:30:11.000 Oh my gosh, they go crazy.

00:30:13.000 It's crazy.

00:30:13.000 Everything shuts down and like, everyone is like, into it.

00:30:16.000 Yes, and that's awesome.

00:30:17.000 It's culturally cool.

00:30:18.000 I wish we had that.

00:30:18.000 Soccer is terrible.

00:30:19.000 Soccer is awful.

00:30:19.000 We have that.

00:30:20.000 It's called the Super Bowl.

00:30:21.000 No.

00:30:21.000 It's for a better sport.

00:30:22.000 No.

00:30:22.000 Called football.

00:30:24.000 It's the real football.

00:30:25.000 Wait, did you see that?

00:30:26.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:30:27.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:30:29.000 There was a tweet about that recently where it was like, Oh my gosh.

00:30:34.000 It was that guy Jarvis, and he goes, you know how to make soccer better?

00:30:37.000 Blake, you'll appreciate this.

00:30:38.000 Here's how you make soccer better.

00:30:39.000 First of all, the field is too big.

00:30:42.000 The field must be shrunken.

00:30:44.000 And instead of having all the players on the teams all at once, They should be able to move players on and off the field whenever they want.

00:30:54.000 The ball is too big.

00:30:56.000 It should be reduced to something small and black.

00:30:59.000 The field itself, running on grass, is too tiresome.

00:31:02.000 It should be covered by ice.

00:31:03.000 Ice everywhere. 0.99

00:31:05.000 And the black things should be hit by cars. 1.00

00:31:07.000 It should be hit by sticks. 1.00

00:31:08.000 This is how you make soccer better.

00:31:10.000 Yeah, if we had a World Cup just for hockey, that'd be a million times better.

00:31:15.000 Soccer is bad.

00:31:16.000 I just, no.

00:31:17.000 They're always trying to break your spirit.

00:31:18.000 Hockey is objectively the best sport to watch outside of football.

00:31:21.000 The whole thing with soccer is they're trying to break your spirit by making you get into a lame sport that five-year-olds play where they kick a ball and learn teamwork.

00:31:32.000 And they just try to break us with this.

00:31:33.000 They want to make soccer popular.

00:31:35.000 No.

00:31:36.000 I refuse to care about soccer.

00:31:38.000 I refuse to watch soccer.

00:31:39.000 I refuse to know whether Phoenix even has a professional soccer team.

00:31:43.000 I don't know.

00:31:44.000 Nobody tell me.

00:31:46.000 And... We do.

00:31:47.000 Phoenix Rising.

00:31:48.000 I'm going to fight you. 0.98

00:31:48.000 I'm going to fight you, Tyler. 0.98

00:31:50.000 I don't disagree with you on the fact that it's going to be lame in America because no one in America cares about soccer.

00:31:55.000 No, we'll get behind it.

00:31:58.000 That's not true.

00:31:58.000 We're getting behind Kamala Harris.

00:32:00.000 We're going to lose in the first round and it's going to be embarrassing and humiliating in our own country.

00:32:05.000 I hope we do not get out.

00:32:07.000 Guys, we have foreigners and we have so many people from other countries.

00:32:12.000 It doesn't matter what country does well.

00:32:13.000 If Brazil does well, we'll fill up the arena. 0.95

00:32:16.000 I'm not worried about it.

00:32:20.000 Well the cool part is we'll have all these people from all different countries like coming to all the cities and so it'll just be like a huge party in all these cities but they I mean I'll tell you being in a foreign country when a team is going far I think I was in I can't remember where I was but I was somewhere where a team was doing really well and they were going absolutely it was crazy it was like everywhere you went you couldn't like move without something about the World Cup and everyone was happy I've never seen anything like it anywhere in the world.

00:32:48.000 In America, we're just generally happy people.

00:32:51.000 We're happy people because we don't have soccer oppressing the collective consciousness.

00:32:57.000 The Super Bowl is different because it's not like all the teams participate in a tournament in that short a time.

00:33:02.000 Like, there's something about the World Cup that they've got right that, like, I feel like college football needs to do better.

00:33:09.000 Like, if they could maximize, like, the World Cup-type build-out, you know what I mean?

00:33:14.000 Like, we should have, like, group play that goes into... Next, you're gonna be like, we should have promotion and relegation in U.S.

00:33:20.000 sports.

00:33:21.000 I'm just saying, they get it right with something that gets everybody so freaking excited, it's crazy.

00:33:26.000 I appreciate it.

00:33:27.000 It's one of the only things I appreciate outside of America is that they do that right.

00:33:32.000 Look, if you want good sports outside of America, go to Japan and watch Japanese baseball.

00:33:36.000 It's great.

00:33:37.000 It's amazing.

00:33:37.000 Because it's a good sport in a good country, so it's good stuff combined.

00:33:42.000 Whereas if you take a bad sport in bad countries, like France, you get horrible misery and agony.

00:33:49.000 So we just have to reject it.

00:33:51.000 No.

00:33:52.000 Alright, speaking of rejecting, I'm going to tell you about how to fix your liver.

00:35:27.000 All right, Blake, what do we have next?

00:35:29.000 What we have next is so communist countries are very good at winning sporting medals as we discussed what they are bad at is keeping food on the shelves and you know actually having economic growth in any way and that's all highly concerning because We discussed this a few months ago, that Democrats were looking bad, and their best option was to just go maximum populism. 0.94

00:35:53.000 And even though Joe Biden is out, it appears Kamala Harris has taken that advice to heart, and she's going maximum populist.

00:36:01.000 So Kamala, she hasn't done any policies for her first month. 1.00

00:36:04.000 She's finally rolling them out, and what she's rolling out is price controls on food and price controls on rent.

00:36:12.000 So that is what we are getting for the Kamala experience.

00:36:17.000 She just tweeted about an hour ago, when I am president, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices.

00:36:24.000 I'll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.

00:36:34.000 And so, you know, I think we've discussed this before, but the worry is this stuff is really bad.

00:36:42.000 But the problem with bad economics is bad economics can still be insanely popular.

00:36:47.000 And we may just get Kamala riding to a victory in the election by promising to crash the economy with no survivors.

00:36:55.000 That's right.

00:36:56.000 Tyler, how should we counter her new thing where she says we want to give $25,000 to a family if they want to buy a home or for first-time homebuyers?

00:37:06.000 Man, I mean, this is the conversation.

00:37:07.000 I mean, we talked about this a while ago, right, Charlie, of talking about the land issues.

00:37:12.000 I mean, young people just care about the land issues.

00:37:15.000 The Democrats we know are ready to just give out handouts.

00:37:19.000 The best handout that America could give, I mean, this is just my opinion without getting too deeply into this.

00:37:24.000 You know, the best thing that we can possibly do is, as Republicans, be talking and educating people about taking land back from the Bureau of Land Management.

00:37:32.000 I mean, this is the biggest mistake that Republicans have made in the West, which is, we have all this land that exists.

00:37:41.000 We should be inviting conservatives into the land and literally doing it at a massive discount. 0.97

00:37:48.000 And giving people, this is literally the home, America's the home of life, liberty, and land.

00:37:54.000 That's where we started.

00:37:55.000 And the unfortunate part is we have no creative people on the conservative side talking about the ways that we can make life easier.

00:38:03.000 So, I mean, obviously, who knows if this handout that she's proposing is true or it's real or whatever.

00:38:09.000 But, I mean, we've got to be talking about how are we going to make living in a home more affordable.

00:38:15.000 for young people.

00:38:17.000 I mean, this is like a real issue that everybody talks about.

00:38:19.000 It's like, I'm going to get out of college and have no possible way of buying a house.

00:38:23.000 I mean, look at the rates right now.

00:38:25.000 Look at home prices. Home prices have inflated so much.

00:38:28.000 There's got to be an impending crash that's coming.

00:38:31.000 And there's literally no creative ideas whatsoever.

00:38:34.000 So, I mean, I could tell you, Charlie, getting not too complex into this, the easiest thing that we could possibly do is take back land from the federal government and give it to people and have them homestead.

00:38:44.000 Call it the New Homesteading Act.

00:38:47.000 And homestead, and you know what statistically has shown?

00:38:51.000 Charlie's gone through this, which is like, if you don't do drugs, if you get married, if you, you know, Get a job, have a career, keep a job.

00:39:00.000 And one of the other statistics that's out there, if you own a home, if you have a home and you have any kind of land, so not like a zero lot, not an apartment, not a condo, but actual land where you have to take care of things, you're far more likely to be conservative.

00:39:13.000 You're far more likely.

00:39:14.000 So that's right.

00:39:16.000 This is, this is like the easiest thing that we can do without like having to influence those other social things, which is like give people land and make them take care of stuff.

00:39:24.000 And they're probably going to become more conservative.

00:39:26.000 Yeah, I mean, it's a stakeholder society.

00:39:28.000 And the federal government owns the entire Southwest.

00:39:30.000 It's literally half of the Western United States.

00:39:36.000 It's a majority.

00:39:37.000 Only half?

00:39:39.000 No, I mean, it's really close. 0.98

00:39:41.000 Arizona, I can't remember what the number is, but it's like, literally, we could just open up, take this land back, and if you had a good governor, you could just be like, yeah, suck it, federal government.

00:39:53.000 We're just going to take the land back.

00:39:54.000 And start a program where, number one, we're going to make all the money off this land.

00:39:58.000 We're going to take better care of it because a lot of the BLM land, too, you see all these forest fires.

00:40:02.000 Have you ever wondered why we have forest fires across the West and not anywhere in the East?

00:40:08.000 Because it's drier?

00:40:09.000 Well, it's not just dry.

00:40:10.000 It's just dry parts in the East, too.

00:40:12.000 That happens in the Southeast.

00:40:13.000 It happens.

00:40:14.000 But in the West, it's drier.

00:40:17.000 But the Bureau of Land Management literally doesn't take care of the forest.

00:40:20.000 I will say, I don't feel like I never hear about, like, devastating wildfires in Texas, which is a dry place that does have trees.

00:40:26.000 Because they don't have BLM.

00:40:27.000 Well, it's the environmentalists, too.

00:40:29.000 The environmentalists are to blame.

00:40:30.000 The environmentalists say that you can't do controlled burns.

00:40:33.000 They just say let it burn, basically.

00:40:34.000 It's a huge problem.

00:40:35.000 With air quality in the West, it's a massive problem.

00:40:37.000 We have the map up here now.

00:40:38.000 You can see red is federally owned land.

00:40:41.000 And some of that, of course, is like some of its national parks, some of its Indian reservations.

00:40:46.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:40:47.000 That's like nothing.

00:40:48.000 Yeah.

00:40:48.000 Very little of it.

00:40:50.000 The Nevada one is insane.

00:40:51.000 Now, admittedly, I don't know how many people who are eager to homestead in the Great Basin might be a bit of a lift there.

00:40:58.000 Andrew's watching right now.

00:40:59.000 There's tons of beautiful land across Nevada.

00:41:02.000 Nevada has so much beautiful land.

00:41:05.000 And Northern Arizona, Southern Utah.

00:41:08.000 Yeah, like Northern Arizona is like Appalachia, except... It's better, I guess.

00:41:13.000 Yeah, there's no humidity.

00:41:14.000 And homeless people.

00:41:17.000 Wait, on the trail?

00:41:18.000 On the trail.

00:41:19.000 Okay, that's fair.

00:41:20.000 No, but like, this is the thing.

00:41:23.000 You could literally take back this land, just gift it to people.

00:41:27.000 Literally gift it to people.

00:41:30.000 And you immediately would have a more conservative America.

00:41:32.000 And plus you'd be making money off of the taxes that would come out of it.

00:41:36.000 I just think about also just, you know, some of this is going to be desert and not super economically viable, but there's just so much stuff that... So Blato, let me explain that one to you.

00:41:45.000 Think about this world in which we place nuclear power plants and solar fields on all of the horrible, horrible land.

00:41:53.000 Where it's just, you know, businesses are people too.

00:41:55.000 We could literally just invite it.

00:41:58.000 So much of that land that's just conquered by BLM, by the federal government, you put solar fields on those that become extremely cheap.

00:42:07.000 And you don't have to pay for it from the federal government either.

00:42:12.000 Private companies would come in and just put those in if they had access to the land.

00:42:17.000 They just don't.

00:42:18.000 It's crazy.

00:42:19.000 That map of Nevada is just so depressing.

00:42:22.000 Big, fat, empty state administered by BLM. 0.92

00:42:25.000 BLM is a disaster in all iterations. 1.00

00:42:28.000 That's right.

00:42:29.000 Jack, your thought about the populist arms race.

00:42:32.000 I want to get Jack in on here.

00:42:33.000 Your thought about the populist arms race, Jack, and how Trump should confront it.

00:42:36.000 Yeah, look, this is going to be a thing where people are going to start throwing out, look, populism sells. 0.99

00:42:44.000 Populism is popular.

00:42:47.000 Populism works.

00:42:48.000 Um, on a on a on an electoral basis.

00:42:51.000 That's why Donald Trump has been so popular.

00:42:54.000 The idea being is so it's got to be twofold, right?

00:42:58.000 Donald Trump's got to number one, say, she's in bed with big business.

00:43:04.000 She's you got to tie her to her, her big donors, which is gonna be easy to do Wall Street, Silicon Valley, etc. 0.99

00:43:12.000 So to cut her away from the little guy, which is what she's trying to go for.

00:43:15.000 And then look, there's gonna be a swath of people that just never That she never stops voting for the Democrat Party, but that's fine.

00:43:21.000 We're talking about people who are potentially persuadable, the people who are potentially more independent or swing voters.

00:43:28.000 And then what you do as well is you also point out that she doesn't have a track record of ever getting any of this stuff done.

00:43:36.000 Keep saying again and again and again, hammering her on the fact that you have had your day one already.

00:43:42.000 You're in office right now.

00:43:44.000 Why aren't you doing this right now?

00:43:46.000 Why aren't you doing this right now?

00:43:47.000 And then just hammer up on it.

00:43:48.000 Why aren't you doing this right now?

00:43:50.000 How come you spent all this money on the green charging stations and there's only like three bills or whatever?

00:43:55.000 It's basic stuff.

00:43:56.000 This is all happening on your watch.

00:43:58.000 Tie her to the incumbency. 0.98

00:44:00.000 But then finally, you also have to still campaign as a populist.

00:44:05.000 So you do still have to keep going for those things.

00:44:09.000 Look, Trump is kind of already the one who started the arms race off, and I think you have to keep pushing that measure, but not doing so in a way where you're talking about government controls either.

00:44:21.000 You know, he said something about, like, we're going to cut energy costs by 50% in our first year.

00:44:26.000 These are basic things that he actually has a good track record on doing.

00:44:30.000 But at the same time, I think that sitting back and pointing out that, oh, you know, saying, oh, this isn't bad, this isn't good, it's not economic sound, etc.

00:44:39.000 It's like what Blake said.

00:44:40.000 We know it doesn't make any economic sense.

00:44:42.000 We know that this leads to the Soviet Union.

00:44:43.000 We know this leads to food shortages.

00:44:45.000 We know this leads to breadlines.

00:44:46.000 That's why we just call him Breadline Bernie.

00:44:49.000 But at the same time, these things are extremely popular.

00:44:52.000 And we've talked about this for a long time.

00:44:55.000 That millennials, particularly, because of their student debt, are at a huge vulnerability and huge risk for debt-free, debt jubilee, student debt relief-style socialism.

00:45:10.000 And it's something where I really think that the Republicans need to come in and actually think of a very smart way To deal with this, go after the institutions, go after the endowments, etc.

00:45:21.000 To deal with this or else you're going to get someone like a Kamala Harris who's going to pick up those Bernie Sanders policies and walk over to all these millennials who are saddled with debt and are only going to become an increasing share of the voting demographic as we go forward for the next 30 years. 1.00

00:45:39.000 And this debt issue is still going to be there.

00:45:41.000 It's a massive bomb and Republicans, quite frankly, haven't done a very good job Addressing the situation other than to say, oh, well, this is your fault.

00:45:50.000 Oh, well, this is your fault.

00:45:51.000 Well, guess what?

00:45:52.000 People who are sitting there voting aren't going to vote for the person who said, oh, this is my fault.

00:45:55.000 It's like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney going up there and saying, oh, well, these entitlements are insolvent.

00:46:02.000 The entitlements are insolvent.

00:46:03.000 We've got to privatize.

00:46:04.000 We've got to privatize.

00:46:04.000 We've got to cut it off.

00:46:05.000 And you look what happened to them electorally.

00:46:08.000 Same thing is going to happen to Republicans if they don't start mitigating their message on this.

00:46:12.000 Blake, how would you advise?

00:46:13.000 Let's pretend Blake Neff, yeah, let's just, let me frame this.

00:46:16.000 Blake, your senior advisor to the Trump campaign, they're throwing populist salvos at you.

00:46:20.000 You want to win.

00:46:21.000 How do you counter it?

00:46:22.000 Oh, man.

00:46:24.000 It is genuinely tough because, like I said, the problem is it's popular.

00:46:29.000 You look at Argentina.

00:46:30.000 Argentina has been an economic basket case for decades.

00:46:35.000 Javier Millet barely won and he's got low approval now because people are mad that he 0.98

00:46:40.000 took away all the stupid price control stuff that was just nuking their economy. 0.98

00:46:44.000 This stuff, once it gets in place, can just stick around forever. 0.99

00:46:48.000 You can just never get rid of it.

00:46:49.000 Doesn't matter how ruinous it is.

00:46:51.000 So we should first emphasize this is a real danger and you can't casually dismiss it as

00:46:57.000 bad economics 101.

00:46:59.000 I think, really, you almost need to take an indirect approach.

00:47:03.000 You can't really just confront it head-on you have to remind people okay guys Kamala is in She's connected to an economic regime right now. 0.99

00:47:13.000 It is the Biden administration and it's really bad.

00:47:17.000 Everything she has to do, everything she has to promise, she has to use as a distraction from the economy under Biden has not been good.

00:47:25.000 Inflation is really high and she can't really avoid that because anything she says, if she tries to create any distance between herself from Biden, you have to

00:47:35.000 basically say, no, okay, what did you specifically disagree with Biden doing? And why didn't you

00:47:40.000 say anything about it then? Why didn't you urge them not to do it then? They won't be able to

00:47:45.000 argue that. They won't have any justification for that. And so I think you do have to

00:47:51.000 mostly focus on the disaster of the Biden administration and just really not let them

00:47:57.000 detach from it.

00:47:57.000 As for a populist line from Trump himself, I think the best way you do it is you just,

00:48:03.000 the strongest argument Trump had against Biden was, I was a president for the same amount of

00:48:09.000 time that Joe Biden's been president and stuff was better.

00:48:12.000 I think your biggest appeal is to the success that he already had with wage growth and all of that, as opposed to specific policies, because a lot of the policies that work are just weirdly not popular.

00:48:25.000 And then I think you focus on the stuff that is most popular, which is probably being pro-fracking.

00:48:31.000 I've seen a lot of people I've talked to have said that plays really big in the specific states we need to win.

00:48:38.000 Even if fracking isn't the biggest thing nationwide, it's very big in Pennsylvania.

00:48:43.000 The Keystone Pipeline, big deal in Pennsylvania.

00:48:45.000 So you emphasize that, you talk about specific things that the Biden administration derailed,

00:48:51.000 like canceling the Keystone Pipeline.

00:48:53.000 You just hammer them over that.

00:48:54.000 Well, the Keystone Pipeline's not in Pennsylvania, though.

00:48:55.000 Well, it wasn't, but it was important to fracking.

00:48:58.000 You're saying they're killing demand for America's ability to export gas, and so that is an attack

00:49:04.000 on the natural gas industry everywhere.

00:49:07.000 It's a big deal.

00:49:08.000 It's a big deal in Pennsylvania.

00:49:10.000 It's a big deal in some other places that we want to compete in.

00:49:14.000 People might think it's in Pennsylvania, because Pennsylvania is a Keystone state, so why

00:49:17.000 not?

00:49:18.000 Exactly.

00:49:19.000 Yeah, just play it out.

00:49:20.000 Even people there might think it, for all we know.

00:49:21.000 Yeah, and like the hammer, you hammer on the ban on exporting natural gas.

00:49:26.000 That was clearly done.

00:49:27.000 He'll like frame it as an energy security thing.

00:49:29.000 But what it really was about is he wants to make it so there's less incentive to develop American gas.

00:49:36.000 And so that's part of the whole Green New Deal shtick. 0.93

00:49:39.000 So you really have to actually I was going to throw out that Trump at one point was proposing building a pipeline from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia.

00:49:48.000 So we have this sort of like Shuttered oil refinery in Philadelphia right now.

00:49:54.000 It's the old Snowco Fields.

00:49:57.000 Literally just had a fire a couple of years ago and it shut down.

00:50:00.000 But the idea was bring some of that fracked natural gas from Western Pennsylvania and the Marcellus Shale find over to Philadelphia and get that plant moving up again.

00:50:10.000 So that would have been, I mean, you're talking massive, massive jobs.

00:50:13.000 Actually, come to think of it, I'm just kind of surprised that they aren't talking more about that because you're now you've got jobs from the fracking side on The western side of the state and then the refining jobs on the eastern side of the state.

00:50:25.000 So that's Delaware County.

00:50:26.000 That's a lot of those blue-collar worker jobs. 1.00

00:50:28.000 Yeah, I'm trying to think, like, what's the strongest populist spin on a winning economic policy?

00:50:33.000 It's energy stuff, probably trade, I think, really hammering at China and other concessions, like, you know, the America last approach to all American foreign policy.

00:50:44.000 You talk about the impoverishing effect of just, you know, mass welfare to illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:50:51.000 I think securing the border is increasingly a strong populist, not just sort of Not just on a crime thing, but on an economics thing.

00:50:59.000 You say their plan for, like, while they're simultaneously driving up the price of everything, they're also driving down wages by bringing in this gigantic illegal or semi-legal, like, helot class of foreign labor that they're just dumping into every single city. 1.00

00:51:17.000 And they're either taking a low-wage job, or they're taking a bunch of, you know, welfare from your government.

00:51:23.000 One or the other.

00:51:24.000 There's vanishingly few actual highly skilled jobs that they're bringing in, in comparison to those two.

00:51:30.000 So that's probably our best populist counterattack.

00:51:33.000 I definitely don't want us falling into an arms race, which some people will be tempted with.

00:51:37.000 They'll say, well, why don't we just promise more money for housing, or more price controls?

00:51:45.000 I think the price control stuff and the more money thing is actually boring stuff that people don't care about.

00:51:51.000 Because I think people actually don't listen to that.

00:51:53.000 So I'll tell you one one that I mentioned that I think is really a good idea.

00:51:59.000 I think you have to get strategic and pull out and say, OK, what do people actually care about the most?

00:52:05.000 And you center in and you focus in.

00:52:07.000 So one of the things that.

00:52:09.000 I suggested to people was like, Hey, you know what's really screwed up in society?

00:52:13.000 Like all these different ticketing companies and how they put all these like excess fees on sporting tickets and concert tickets.

00:52:20.000 I know this sounds really stupid, but this is like goes in line with the tax, no taxes on tips thing that worked really well, which is like out of the things that you like to do that you can't do because now Bidenomics has messed up your life.

00:52:34.000 You know, why don't we figure out fixing this problem that exists where, like, tickets get passed around a thousand different times because, you know, the population is so much denser in some of these places and it's impossible to get sporting tickets in some places for less than, you know, a couple hundred dollars. 0.96

00:52:50.000 Well, then they add fees on top of it.

00:52:52.000 And basically, you know, those cultural events you can't attend.

00:52:56.000 Price controls on Taylor Swift tickets.

00:52:58.000 Well, it's not price controls.

00:52:59.000 It's controlling the fees, right?

00:53:03.000 So that's just like one of those weird things.

00:53:06.000 He could just come out and say it as president.

00:53:08.000 Biden has actually talked about it.

00:53:09.000 He called it junk fees.

00:53:11.000 This was something that Biden talked about.

00:53:13.000 I don't know that they ever actually did it, but I do.

00:53:17.000 Actually, I will give credit where it's due.

00:53:19.000 This was something that Democrats talked about from the White House.

00:53:23.000 I remember Kareem Jean-Pierre talking about it at the press briefing.

00:53:26.000 I don't know that it ever went away.

00:53:28.000 I certainly, when I go buy tickets for things, we went to SummerSlam a couple of weeks ago, as a matter of fact, in Ohio.

00:53:35.000 And, you know, plenty of hidden fees there.

00:53:38.000 So, you know, they haven't done anything about it, but the Democrats are already thinking about this.

00:53:42.000 Yeah, but you're right.

00:53:44.000 You know, bring it up and say, look, if they're going to steal ours, then we might as well steal theirs.

00:53:48.000 Well, we just need creative ideas and then come out louder about it, right?

00:53:52.000 Like the biggest, the most horrifying part about this no taxes on tips thing is like what's inevitably going to happen is that you're going to have a bunch of confused people because they're just going to be louder and talk about it more often and get the support in the media.

00:54:04.000 And everyone's gonna be like, well, that's not fair.

00:54:06.000 It's like, stop talking about it not being fair.

00:54:07.000 Just talk about it.

00:54:09.000 Right?

00:54:09.000 Like, just talk about, like, the whole idea of populism is, like, be the first to the show and talk about it more than the other guy, and then actually do it.

00:54:19.000 Like Jack just said.

00:54:21.000 One that I think is underused.

00:54:22.000 We talked about this, Blake, and it would drive people crazy, but I think it's the the right move, which is don't just say we're going to do infrastructure.

00:54:29.000 Be like very specific and say and just like humiliate California and Kamala Harris.

00:54:34.000 Being like you guys have been promising a freaking train from San Diego to San Francisco for the last like 20 years and you guys have spent billions of dollars and you've not been able to do it.

00:54:45.000 We are going to build Like high speed rail and we're going to build this stuff in like two years or less and we're going to figure it out.

00:54:50.000 I'm going to cut all the red tape.

00:54:52.000 I know you said that it's impossible, Blake, but at least from a promise standpoint, national infrastructure gets people really excited because it feels as if their country is developing and growing and prospering, not decaying and atrophying.

00:55:03.000 And so you do something where it's like This is the American Manufacturing Revival Initiative, where we're going to put 2 million people back to work in public-private partnerships, and we're going to have China pay for it through tariffs.

00:55:14.000 And, again, Elon touched on this a little bit, but I think that come up with, like, 20 crazy ideas of national infrastructure that people can actually get behind, if that makes sense.

00:55:26.000 Yeah, I totally agree.

00:55:28.000 It would be good if there's any remote possible way to do it, which I don't know.

00:55:32.000 I'm very black-pilled on the America building anything thing.

00:55:36.000 No, but this goes back to the BLM thing.

00:55:38.000 Hold on, but the private sector can.

00:55:40.000 I mean, we have the ability to do it.

00:55:43.000 Elon was able to defy gravity literally with SpaceX and with Tesla, with his ability to outdo manufacturer projections.

00:55:51.000 You're right, through government it's very hard.

00:55:54.000 Yes.

00:55:54.000 A fun goal could be maybe first private moon landing by 2030 or something.

00:55:59.000 I mean, that's one of them, right?

00:56:00.000 I mean, Trump was like along those lines, but this goes back to that whole BLM conversation, which is like, well, if you take things away from the federal government, but then actually do something with it, right? 0.72

00:56:10.000 With the land.

00:56:11.000 And again, you get creative with this stuff, which is not, you don't just have to give up land for homesteading.

00:56:15.000 Like you could give up land for nuclear power plants and be like, you know what we're going to do instead of building a wall, we're going to build a wall of nuclear power plants.

00:56:25.000 I'm kidding, but the reality is, why not stick a nuclear power plant in the middle of the desert?

00:56:32.000 We've already done that in Arizona, and it literally powers half of Mexico and all of Southern California, including all of Arizona, and we could have the cheapest utilities in the world if we wanted to.

00:56:45.000 Like you just have to just communicate that to people in the right way and be smart about it and utilize what you have in front of you, which again is we have all this land where we're geographically in the best place in the entire world.

00:56:59.000 We have all this oil that's just sitting there.

00:56:59.000 We have all these resources.

00:57:01.000 We have all these woods that are sitting there like America could literally produce so much.

00:57:07.000 and lumber and we just sit there and we wait for China to bring over steel.

00:57:12.000 And this was like what Trump was talking about during his thing was like part of the reason why Trump was so popular

00:57:17.000 was he was like, you know, we're not going to wear up all these tariffs on things and we're going to have American

00:57:21.000 And everyone was like literally losing their mind over they couldn't believe it because nobody, no one thought that was

00:57:21.000 steel come back.

00:57:27.000 possible like in a post Reagan era.

00:57:29.000 And so like, this is where we're at now, which is just like we need to stick with that.

00:57:33.000 And I feel like we've gotten away from it, to be honest.

00:57:35.000 I feel like 2020, it became all about personalities, which is what the Democrats wanted.

00:57:40.000 And we're slowly watching this race turn into personalities, instead of about this, which is like, come up with something cool that you're going to do that people actually get in the most simplified terms.

00:57:50.000 So uh there's there's some ideas that I developed here so one was called the Wild West 2.0.

00:57:56.000 I sent this to the campaign which is where you create these special zones that are controlled by BLM where there's like no regulation and you sign disclaimers and you could basically try whatever you want economically if they're like distressed like you go to rural Nevada and you get like a hundred acres and you signed all these um you know All these disclaimers and it's like the Wild West 2.0 and you could try crazy things aiming to like attract super adventurous entrepreneurs.

00:58:21.000 Another idea that I had and that I developed was the National Adventure Pass, which is for Americans.

00:58:28.000 You get like three summers in a row.

00:58:30.000 You get to go to any National Park free and it provides like every citizen with a pass to go to all the National Parks, historical sites, stuff like that.

00:58:38.000 Let me see what else I had.

00:58:40.000 While you're on that Charlie, I spent some time on this.

00:58:42.000 Did you know nobody's been in like the crown of the or is the crown or is it the?

00:58:47.000 up on the the torch of the Statue of Liberty There should be like literally a drawing to reopen that this should just be a drawing that's like certain amount of Americans get to go on like the the the torch the Statue of Liberty and like it's broadcast and it's like a big deal like Like, you could literally do that as president.

00:59:05.000 You could literally do that and, like, make a big deal about it.

00:59:07.000 And it's, like, nothing but, like, plus points for, like, Americana-ism.

00:59:12.000 So, anyway, sorry.

00:59:13.000 Go ahead, Charlie.

00:59:14.000 No, no, I have all these crazy... I mean, I just come up with crazy ideas all the time.

00:59:17.000 Um, and so...

00:59:19.000 Yeah, no, I think that we could think more creatively in this way, but also play offense against them.

00:59:27.000 I don't, if you, would you guys get upset if President Trump said, hey, we're going to, we're going to have like no interest for first time home buyers, like no interest loans.

00:59:37.000 I mean, I'm sure you get like really high, higher home prices, I guess from that.

00:59:41.000 Like, but we're, we're in a, I guess building more homes is actually the structural solution, right?

00:59:47.000 Oh, yeah, I mean, you build more, and... I mean, yeah, it's like the boring answer, is you make it easy to build more, and then, like, demand will be sated and prices will go down, and things that we massively regulate the prices and provision of tend to eventually have high prices.

01:00:12.000 College and university, healthcare, childcare, all of these things are outrageously expensive.

01:00:18.000 And the truth is, is the more boringly unregulated they are, the cheaper they tend to be.

01:00:24.000 So what's the cheapest stuff?

01:00:25.000 It's stuff that you, it's basically unregulated to make and manufacture and import and whatever it is.

01:00:31.000 So clothing's crazy cheap.

01:00:33.000 Food, actually, even after Biden's inflation, food overall is much cheaper than it's really like ever been on a big historical scale.

01:00:41.000 Electronics are like that.

01:00:42.000 Electronics, if we had the federal government deciding to get involved in deciding, you know, cell phones or computers are too expensive and we need to tinker with how to incentivize providing them and have price caps on them to make sure they're all affordable, then computers would be outrageously expensive.

01:00:59.000 A new computer would cost $5,000 and there'd be shortages of them all the time.

01:01:03.000 but instead the price goes down all the time.

01:01:05.000 And you want to apply that same principle to housing.

01:01:08.000 And I think the easiest way to do that is you basically whack most of the laws that make it difficult

01:01:15.000 to put up housing.

01:01:16.000 And unfortunately, one of the reasons this is hard is even among conservatives, it's very popular

01:01:21.000 to restrict the construction of new housing.

01:01:24.000 A lot of this is because I think building new housing is how a lot of people are forced to engage

01:01:31.000 with the fact that America is in decline.

01:01:34.000 So no one wants to build new stuff because they want to preserve their own neighborhoods and such in amber.

01:01:40.000 because if your neighborhood is changing often the sense is your neighborhood is

01:01:43.000 going downhill it's getting you know

01:01:46.000 they settled a million refugees there or they're like 0.96

01:01:49.000 putting up some horrible new

01:01:52.000 government housing there something like that everything's always going in decline

01:01:57.000 but overall the way you do it the boring way to keep housing

01:01:59.000 prices down is you just build a ton

01:02:01.000 you know what place doesn't have outrageously expensive housing?

01:02:04.000 Houston.

01:02:05.000 complained about Houston? There's basically no zoning restrictions there. You can just

01:02:08.000 put up whatever in Houston. That's the boring way to keep prices down on that sort of thing. 0.81

01:02:12.000 And kind of the same deal for food. The way you actually bring food prices down is you don't have

01:02:18.000 Kamala Harris come in and pass price controls on it. And it's an incredibly competitive industry,

01:02:23.000 so prices will eventually go down. This isn't popular, though. People always want to do

01:02:27.000 something. Closing thoughts here, guys? Look, I think it's good that we're actually having

01:02:33.000 having these discussions.

01:02:34.000 President Trump has talked about things like Freedom Cities in the past, and look at what we are talking about as opposed to sort of debating.

01:02:41.000 Like, I just go back to the Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney version of politics, where they're like explaining politics as something that you're, you know, not supposed to understand, that you're not supposed to like, that we can't have direct benefits for you.

01:02:56.000 And that's sort of been put on the shelf now to say, okay, We understand how economics works.

01:03:00.000 But at the same time, we also understand that your country has been, it feels like it's been selling you down the river that you've been getting screwed over.

01:03:08.000 And so what can we do to from the government perspective, to actually have direct benefits for the people that that's not just support us, but for all country or for all citizens, rather everyone in the country.

01:03:20.000 So things like law and order, by the way, things like crime, all of this will help, by the way.

01:03:25.000 And so, you know, who are the people that are the biggest victims of crime?

01:03:29.000 It is going to be disproportionately the lower class and middle class.

01:03:34.000 So these are also things that we can do to cut against the economic populism measures that they're putting in.

01:03:41.000 And I just love the fact that we're not the neocons anymore.

01:03:43.000 My gosh, I'm just so happy we're not them.

01:03:48.000 Tyler, final thoughts?

01:03:49.000 We didn't talk about the conspiracy of 2020, but I believe the biggest conspiracy we didn't discuss was how the Olympic Games, I believe, were impacted by COVID intentionally because we knew that Trump... Can you imagine Trump as president?

01:04:07.000 During the Olympic Games, the amount of Americanism... Well, he was during the winter.

01:04:11.000 Yeah, but I'm talking about the summer right before the, uh, the summer right before the election.

01:04:18.000 It was canceled because of COVID or they pushed it later to the next year.

01:04:23.000 That would have been the most American bleed through that you've ever seen with a U.S.

01:04:28.000 president.

01:04:28.000 Of all things, the real conspiracy is God conspired.

01:04:31.000 So now this is my closing statement, Blake.

01:04:34.000 Trump can be president during an American Olympics now.

01:04:37.000 I know.

01:04:37.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:04:39.000 So like this, like, can you imagine?

01:04:42.000 It would have been so good, like, it would have been impossible to overcome.

01:04:47.000 So they had to cancel it.

01:04:49.000 When Trump wins, and we do have the American Olympics, and he's going to be the president, the sitting president in the middle of this, we have to defend and make sure that nothing comes in between Trump and the Olympics in 2028.

01:05:01.000 I agree.

01:05:04.000 If you guys want to hear more of my solutions, we're going to put them on our members page, members.charliekirk.com.

01:05:08.000 Just crazy ideas.

01:05:10.000 Some are good, some are not so good.

01:05:11.000 I have another one, by the way.

01:05:12.000 Let me find this other one I had.

01:05:13.000 I wrote these.

01:05:14.000 This is like a running Google Doc that I have of these things.

01:05:20.000 No, it's crazy.

01:05:21.000 Oh, yeah, this one a virtual home buying a virtual home buying Academy develop an online Academy offering for your low cost courses on how to buy a home, including financial planning, mortgage options and real estate market insights.

01:05:31.000 All right, where's my other one that I had here?

01:05:34.000 So I asked I asked people from all the time they send them in.

01:05:37.000 There's one about health that I had that was really good.

01:05:40.000 Let me start to find this.
