The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #1544 - Tim Dillon

00:00:12.000 I'm here with the COVID kid.

00:00:14.000 COVID kid, baby.

00:00:15.000 No, you're free.

00:00:16.000 I'm free.

00:00:16.000 You're COVID free.

00:00:17.000 Antibodies are negative.

00:00:18.000 Are you worried?

00:00:19.000 You're traveling in some risky circumstances.

00:00:23.000 Yeah, well, a lot of these clubs that you work, they're pretty full.

00:00:28.000 They're pretty full.

00:00:29.000 I've been looking at those lines outside your club.

00:00:30.000 I'm like, how big is this place?

00:00:32.000 Were you going to socially distance all these people?

00:00:34.000 It doesn't seem that socially distanced.

00:00:37.000 Not at all!

00:00:38.000 I don't know, but we also don't know nobody...

00:00:41.000 Is it airborne?

00:00:42.000 Can you get it?

00:00:43.000 Yes.

00:00:43.000 It is airborne.

00:00:44.000 100%.

00:00:44.000 Well, that's not great.

00:00:45.000 No.

00:00:46.000 You definitely can get it from the air.

00:00:47.000 Okay.

00:00:48.000 But here's the thing, man.

00:00:49.000 This is so politicized.

00:00:51.000 It's been so politicized.

00:00:53.000 If you look at the numbers of deaths, the numbers of deaths are way down.

00:00:56.000 They're talking about the numbers of cases are up.

00:00:58.000 Right.

00:00:58.000 But the deaths are way down.

00:01:00.000 Yeah.

00:01:00.000 They're much better at treating it.

00:01:01.000 Yeah, way better.

00:01:02.000 But also, it's like people are better at taking care of themselves if they're going to go out and do things, too.

00:01:08.000 They understand most people are aware of vitamin D now.

00:01:11.000 I take it every day.

00:01:12.000 5,000 I use.

00:01:13.000 There you go.

00:01:14.000 A lot of people are aware of zinc.

00:01:15.000 A lot of people are aware of vitamin C. And a lot of people are also that are high risk.

00:01:19.000 They're not going.

00:01:19.000 Yeah.

00:01:20.000 I mean, sometimes you look at people in the clubs, like I'll look at some members of my audience, and I'm like, you shouldn't be here.

00:01:26.000 You're taking way too big of a risk.

00:01:29.000 For a few ha-has. 1.00

00:01:31.000 Yeah, but I'm happy you bought the ticket, and thanks for coming.

00:01:34.000 But I'm just looking at them going, I wouldn't be in that chair if I were you.

00:01:38.000 But you've got to make your own decision.

00:01:40.000 Maybe you have to. 0.93

00:01:41.000 I think if I was locked up for six months and I couldn't go out, and then one of my favorite comics was in town, I'm like, fuck, let's go out, let's go out, let's go do it. 0.92

00:01:50.000 I've got tickets, Mike, you're coming. 0.95

00:01:53.000 Obviously you want to avoid getting it, but there's a level of fatalism where you have to say, listen.

00:01:58.000 You know, there's no guarantee you could walk out of your house and encounter any number of things that could kill you. 1.00

00:02:05.000 Well, Florida just said, fuck it. 1.00

00:02:06.000 They just said, fuck it. 1.00

00:02:07.000 We're opening up. 1.00

00:02:08.000 Full capacity.

00:02:09.000 Everything.

00:02:10.000 Concerts.

00:02:11.000 Everything.

00:02:12.000 You could do, like, arenas.

00:02:14.000 They weren't even closed down for that long.

00:02:15.000 Not that long.

00:02:16.000 They closed down for a few weeks.

00:02:17.000 Long enough.

00:02:17.000 Yeah.

00:02:18.000 They were like, that's enough.

00:02:19.000 Everyone sobered up.

00:02:20.000 That was just a hangover.

00:02:21.000 Everybody got sober in Florida.

00:02:23.000 They sobered up and went, let's get back at it.

00:02:25.000 Disney World's been open forever.

00:02:27.000 Disneyland in LA is still closed.

00:02:29.000 They're about to go bankrupt.

00:02:30.000 Yeah.

00:02:31.000 Disney World, they're like, come on in, wear a mask. 1.00

00:02:33.000 I don't give a fuck. 1.00

00:02:33.000 Yeah, who cares? 1.00

00:02:34.000 They don't care.

00:02:34.000 Yeah, just come in, be careful.

00:02:36.000 Don't get eaten by an alligator.

00:02:37.000 Yeah.

00:02:37.000 You might get eaten by an alligator, or you might get a cough.

00:02:42.000 Right, or you might get a cold.

00:02:44.000 Yeah, it seems like we're trending in the direction of things opening up.

00:02:48.000 Listen, you gotta give people freedom.

00:02:51.000 The government was never supposed to have the ability to tell you what you can and can't do in terms of what's risky.

00:02:59.000 The argument against that is that you're putting other people in danger. 0.99

00:03:03.000 At this point in time, we're six months into this fucking thing. 0.99

00:03:06.000 You gotta peel the band-aid off. 1.00

00:03:07.000 You gotta do something.

00:03:09.000 You can't just allow people to go bankrupt and never be able to work.

00:03:15.000 Well, it's also like Thomas Sowell, the economist, said, he's like, one of my favorite quotes, he goes, there's no solutions, there's only trade-offs.

00:03:21.000 So it's a trade-off, right?

00:03:23.000 So if you tell everyone, yes, you might keep some people healthy, but at what level of damage to the economy, to people's livelihoods, suicide is up, child abuse is up, there's all kinds of problems that come from a lockdown.

00:03:36.000 Yeah, it's way up.

00:03:37.000 Suicide's way up.

00:03:38.000 That's crazy.

00:03:39.000 Yeah, suicide, child abuse.

00:03:40.000 And that shocked me that child abuse was up because I was like, who?

00:03:43.000 I thought child abuse was like a fixed thing, meaning if you hit your kids, you just hit your kids.

00:03:47.000 No, I think people react to, like, heavy stress.

00:03:51.000 Right. 0.98

00:03:51.000 I mean, how many people are just broke and don't know what to do and their kids won't shut the fuck up? 0.98

00:03:55.000 And they just gotta smack them. 0.99

00:03:57.000 Yeah.

00:03:57.000 I mean, it's terrible.

00:03:58.000 It's very sad. 0.97

00:03:59.000 It's the saddest fucking time ever because people are losing their jobs and they're losing their livelihoods and they didn't do anything wrong. 0.98

00:04:06.000 Right. 0.97

00:04:07.000 It's the only time.

00:04:08.000 Nobody's addressing that.

00:04:09.000 Right.

00:04:09.000 Like, nobody's addressing that.

00:04:11.000 And then there's a lot of people...

00:04:12.000 You know, celebrities and people that have a lot of money that are shaming people who want to go back to work.

00:04:19.000 And they're saying that these people just want to go out and party and have fun.

00:04:21.000 And it's like, no, they need to earn money.

00:04:23.000 Yeah, well, that's shaming people that want to do shows.

00:04:26.000 I've seen that.

00:04:26.000 Right, yeah.

00:04:27.000 It's crazy. 1.00

00:04:28.000 They're fools. 1.00

00:04:28.000 They're people with money. 1.00

00:04:30.000 And listen, people can do almost anything that puts them at risk.

00:04:35.000 And freely, right?

00:04:36.000 You can BMX bike. 0.99

00:04:38.000 You can fucking bungee jump. 1.00

00:04:41.000 You could go... 1.00

00:04:42.000 You could sail...

00:04:43.000 You could eat anything you want?

00:04:45.000 Yeah, you could sail in the ocean. 1.00

00:04:46.000 You could fucking... 0.99

00:04:47.000 You could hand glide. 0.99

00:04:50.000 You could do all these different things that are super dangerous.

00:04:52.000 You could eat anything you want. 0.97

00:04:53.000 You could get drunk all the time, kill your liver. 1.00

00:04:55.000 Right.

00:04:55.000 The idea that this shouldn't be something that you should be able to try or do because you're going to put other people at risk...

00:05:02.000 Boy, that gets real sketchy.

00:05:05.000 That gets real sketchy because the people that are at risk, they know they're at risk.

00:05:09.000 It's not like you're sneaking up on them.

00:05:11.000 It's one thing if you have a kid.

00:05:12.000 This is where it gets dangerous.

00:05:13.000 If you have a 21-year-old kid who parties all the time and then you're 60 and your kid comes home and he gives it to you and you die.

00:05:22.000 That's real.

00:05:23.000 That's real. 1.00

00:05:23.000 If you live with your fucking parents or you live with your grandparents, yeah, don't do anything high risk, you fucking asshole. 1.00

00:05:28.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:29.000 But if you're like a regular person who lives by themselves or lives with some friends and you want to be able to go out and you're willing to take the risk, You should be able to.

00:05:39.000 You should be able to.

00:05:39.000 Yeah.

00:05:40.000 People need to make money.

00:05:41.000 Well, the government's not supposed to be able to have that kind of power over you.

00:05:44.000 Right.

00:05:45.000 And once they have it, it's very difficult for them to let it go.

00:05:47.000 Yeah.

00:05:47.000 Well, we saw it after 9-11, right?

00:05:49.000 After 9-11, the government took a lot of power, supposedly for very good, virtuous reasons of keeping America safe and protecting everybody.

00:05:55.000 And a lot of those powers, they never let them go.

00:05:57.000 Are we going to go right into conspiracies?

00:05:59.000 They never gave them back.

00:06:00.000 No, I just thought it was a nice segue.

00:06:02.000 Do you have your Q t-shirt?

00:06:03.000 I just thought it was a nice segue.

00:06:04.000 That's all.

00:06:06.000 I just thought we could bring up 9-11 really quick.

00:06:08.000 Just a nice route to, you know, the underground military bases.

00:06:13.000 But I mean, it's true.

00:06:13.000 They have a lot of power and they don't give it back.

00:06:16.000 And none of the powers they get, they don't give them back.

00:06:18.000 They don't go, oh, the disease is over.

00:06:21.000 Now we're going to, you know, contact tracing.

00:06:22.000 It sounds great, right?

00:06:24.000 Somebody, oh, it doesn't even sound great.

00:06:26.000 But the idea of it is like, if you're in contact with people, they trace who you were in contact with because of COVID. They're going to do that for other reasons and you're not going to like it.

00:06:34.000 They're going to use that technology to trace people that are considered antisocial personality disorder or whatever it is.

00:06:40.000 They don't like what you posted on Facebook.

00:06:42.000 I mean, that's coming.

00:06:44.000 But what if you get injured?

00:06:45.000 What if you hurt your back and they know that they put you on pills?

00:06:48.000 Right.

00:06:48.000 And then they say, hey, you driving, Tim?

00:06:50.000 What's going on?

00:06:51.000 Tim, you're driving?

00:06:52.000 Right.

00:06:52.000 Your back's hurt and you're on the pills.

00:06:54.000 Are you driving on pills?

00:06:55.000 Yeah.

00:06:56.000 Or... 0.99

00:06:57.000 Whatever the fuck it is. 0.99

00:06:59.000 If there's someone... 0.99

00:07:00.000 Look, Snowden talked about how people could just read your emails, right?

00:07:03.000 Right.

00:07:03.000 Well, what's to stop someone from tracing you?

00:07:07.000 Say you have some political disagreement with some guy who's in office, but you also cheat on your wife.

00:07:12.000 Right. 1.00

00:07:12.000 And they go, look, Tim's going over to this fucking lady's house and slipping out of the old fucking schlazoo. 1.00

00:07:17.000 Right. 1.00

00:07:19.000 It's a huge problem.

00:07:21.000 Yeah.

00:07:21.000 It's a problem.

00:07:21.000 That nobody, like we've all resigned ourselves to the fact that it's happening and we just go, eh.

00:07:26.000 Right.

00:07:27.000 We just shrug.

00:07:28.000 Well, we're busy.

00:07:29.000 Yeah.

00:07:30.000 That's how we feel about a lot of things.

00:07:31.000 It's true.

00:07:31.000 There's too much to think about.

00:07:33.000 Like that's how it is with the NSA, you know, the mass surveillance.

00:07:37.000 I mean, people just sort of go, well, what are you going to do?

00:07:39.000 What are you going to do?

00:07:40.000 Yeah.

00:07:40.000 Most people are like, you know, my favorite, and I've said it too.

00:07:43.000 It's like, they're like, if you want to surveil me, doing nothing.

00:07:46.000 You know?

00:07:47.000 Everybody's like, hey, surveil me.

00:07:49.000 I get it.

00:07:49.000 I've made jokes like that.

00:07:51.000 But I think when you look at tech and how much power the tech has acquired over the last five years, for example.

00:07:59.000 Have you watched The Social Dilemma?

00:08:00.000 I did. 1.00

00:08:01.000 Holy fuck. 1.00

00:08:02.000 I did. 1.00

00:08:02.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:03.000 I mean, I thought a lot of that was pretty well-known before it, though, right?

00:08:06.000 It's well-known to you.

00:08:07.000 Okay.

00:08:08.000 But I think for people who don't really pay attention to it...

00:08:12.000 See, here's the difference between you and I and the regular folks.

00:08:15.000 Right.

00:08:15.000 People have a real job.

00:08:18.000 Say if you work for Microsoft, your fucking job all day is thinking about Microsoft. 1.00

00:08:23.000 You have real important shit. 1.00

00:08:25.000 You have bottom lines. 0.99

00:08:26.000 You have to bump up.

00:08:28.000 You have goals to meet.

00:08:30.000 You have meetings.

00:08:31.000 You have to get together.

00:08:32.000 They have things to think of. 0.98

00:08:34.000 We're just fucking off all day. 0.98

00:08:36.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:08:37.000 Yeah, no, that is a good point.

00:08:38.000 We don't... 1.00

00:08:39.000 Well, and part of our job is to kind of fuck off. 1.00

00:08:42.000 Yes. 1.00

00:08:42.000 Right? 1.00

00:08:42.000 Part of our job is to figure out what's funny out there. 1.00

00:08:45.000 Right.

00:08:45.000 And you can't do that by really focusing on one thing.

00:08:48.000 You have to just go all over the place.

00:08:50.000 Right.

00:08:50.000 But I think The Social Dilemma, when I watched it, I was like...

00:08:53.000 Yeah, it's the thing with social media is it's not designed to work well.

00:08:57.000 Like, it's designed to work how it's working, right?

00:08:59.000 I mean, that was maybe the biggest thing about social dilemma.

00:09:02.000 It's like, this is designed to work this way.

00:09:04.000 You should be fighting.

00:09:05.000 The negativity spreads very quickly.

00:09:07.000 People are going to go at each other's throats.

00:09:10.000 You're fighting with family members.

00:09:11.000 I watch family members fight each other that don't even talk in real life.

00:09:16.000 Like they wouldn't even know each other existed.

00:09:19.000 They'd find each other and fight and they would never see each other.

00:09:23.000 They would maybe do it once at a reunion every three years.

00:09:25.000 But what's the answer?

00:09:26.000 Is the answer to just log off?

00:09:27.000 That seems to be the only answer.

00:09:30.000 Logging off is not the worst idea.

00:09:32.000 Right.

00:09:32.000 I think, you know, I was in the woods recently.

00:09:35.000 I was in Utah hunting and no service for three days and it was great.

00:09:40.000 Do you feel a high?

00:09:41.000 Feel better.

00:09:41.000 People say like you feel a high the day, like a day of no phone.

00:09:45.000 They say you feel like you get up the next day.

00:09:47.000 You're noticing birds.

00:09:48.000 You notice things.

00:09:49.000 You feel better.

00:09:50.000 If you can't check your phone all the time because it doesn't work, you don't check your phone.

00:09:54.000 What, are you going to look at your pictures over and over again?

00:09:56.000 You're not.

00:09:56.000 You want interaction.

00:09:58.000 That's what you want to check, likes or comments.

00:10:00.000 That dopamine hit.

00:10:01.000 I don't read comments and I don't check likes.

00:10:05.000 I have a very strict policy and it's made me very happy. 0.99

00:10:09.000 But even that, I look at other people's shit. 0.98

00:10:13.000 So I would go to look at your page. 1.00

00:10:15.000 I would laugh at your stuff.

00:10:16.000 And I'd go read your comments. 1.00

00:10:17.000 I'd go, this guy's a piece of shit. 1.00

00:10:19.000 I would read assholes being mean. 1.00

00:10:23.000 Even though it's not about me, it has nothing to do with me, I would still occasionally run into things that bothered me or run into behavior that annoyed me. 0.89

00:10:31.000 And I'm like, why am I focusing on some person that doesn't even have a real name? 0.86

00:10:35.000 Their name is like, you know, fucking A plus Y. I stopped the comments when one of them said that... 0.97

00:10:42.000 We think Whitney Cummings is Tim Dillon's CIA handler. 0.99

00:10:45.000 I said, I'm going to check out now.

00:10:48.000 This is Jesus.

00:10:49.000 Yeah, they were like, he's not talking about Obamagate on his show.

00:10:53.000 It's because Whitney Cummings is telling him not to.

00:10:54.000 I'm like, Whitney Cummings, I love her to death.

00:10:55.000 I don't think she knows what Obamagate is.

00:10:57.000 And I have mentioned it a few times.

00:10:59.000 It was just so funny. 0.94

00:11:00.000 I started laughing, but I'm like, because it's people's mental illness. 0.98

00:11:03.000 You're just living in people's very dysfunctional minds.

00:11:07.000 Well, there's people I know, that I know, not good friends, but I know pretty casually, that will tell me that they think the CIA talks to me about who I can have on the show.

00:11:19.000 Because I've had Mike Baker on, the guy who used to be in the CIA. He's still in.

00:11:24.000 Most likely.

00:11:25.000 I even joked with him about it.

00:11:27.000 But my interaction with him is about what we talk about on the podcast, and then afterwards we talk about fishing as kids.

00:11:34.000 That's our conversation.

00:11:35.000 He doesn't bring you into a room and threaten you.

00:11:37.000 There's none of that.

00:11:38.000 The CIA doesn't have a podcasting division.

00:11:41.000 They're not like, who's on Marin this week?

00:11:43.000 They're not booking podcasts.

00:11:46.000 I bet they do now.

00:11:47.000 That's interesting.

00:11:48.000 They might.

00:11:48.000 I bet they do now.

00:11:49.000 I bet they didn't before we came around.

00:11:51.000 But now they might?

00:11:52.000 I would imagine.

00:11:53.000 They understand.

00:11:54.000 They're big in movies.

00:11:56.000 They're big in movies.

00:11:57.000 That's huge.

00:11:58.000 Especially movies that are made about Zero Dark Thirty, things like that, about the torture of Catherine Bigelow.

00:12:03.000 They try to justify their policies through popular culture all the time.

00:12:06.000 Oh yeah, it's propaganda.

00:12:08.000 Yeah, but I just think it's hilarious the idea that they have to now check who's on a podcast.

00:12:12.000 Yeah, I don't know if it's the CIA. I mean, I don't know who's doing that, but it's someone in government most certainly has relationships with Hollywood.

00:12:20.000 And also, like, the people in Hollywood, if the CIA calls you up and you're doing a movie like Zero Dark Thirty, and they go, we'd like to talk to you about this, like, Fuck yeah. 0.95

00:12:28.000 We're going to talk to the CIA. We're going to talk to the SEALs. 0.87

00:12:31.000 We're going to talk to the NSA. You want to know.

00:12:33.000 Yeah, you want to know, but then they can also feed you whatever information they want.

00:12:36.000 For sure, there's that.

00:12:38.000 For sure, that's happened.

00:12:39.000 For sure, there's been propaganda that's been spilled through Hollywood.

00:12:42.000 There's no doubt about it.

00:12:43.000 I just think they missed the boat on this podcast thing.

00:12:45.000 They didn't know it was coming.

00:12:46.000 They should have gotten involved.

00:12:47.000 They should have gotten involved.

00:12:48.000 They need to have a few undercover CIA agents.

00:12:52.000 Doing a podcast out of their Brooklyn apartment.

00:12:55.000 The thing is you wouldn't be good.

00:12:56.000 And making millions. 1.00

00:12:57.000 You have to have mental illness. 1.00

00:12:58.000 You have to be a little sick. 1.00

00:13:00.000 When I think of how many hours I've talked for, how many hours you've talked for, there's something wrong.

00:13:05.000 Something wrong.

00:13:05.000 Something very wrong.

00:13:06.000 For sure.

00:13:06.000 Yeah.

00:13:07.000 Yeah.

00:13:07.000 And people need to realize that.

00:13:09.000 Like, if you take my opinion seriously, like, listen to me.

00:13:11.000 I don't even take my opinion seriously.

00:13:12.000 What are you listening to me for?

00:13:14.000 Right.

00:13:14.000 Half the time, I'm just thinking out loud.

00:13:15.000 Right.

00:13:16.000 Like, literally, maybe 40% of the things that I say on this podcast, I don't know what I'm saying when I'm saying it.

00:13:23.000 Right.

00:13:23.000 I'm just thinking out loud.

00:13:25.000 Right.

00:13:25.000 And that's the whole art form of doing this, because you have to explore every possibility.

00:13:29.000 Yeah.

00:13:29.000 And sometimes I have a thought that's very well thought out.

00:13:33.000 Right.

00:13:34.000 Where it's like, no, I've thought about this for a while, and this is why I believe this.

00:13:38.000 And there's a difference.

00:13:39.000 You'll hear things that I say that are really clear.

00:13:43.000 I know what I'm saying.

00:13:45.000 I know what I'm talking.

00:13:45.000 And then you hear rambling nonsense, too.

00:13:48.000 And that's just how it goes.

00:13:50.000 If you're going to think out loud, you're going to have both of those things.

00:13:52.000 Why do you think people get so angry at the idea of that?

00:13:54.000 People get very angry at the idea of just being open to the idea of being wrong.

00:13:59.000 People get angry and they're like, every word out of your mouth has to be absolutely what you want it to be.

00:14:06.000 It's weird to me.

00:14:07.000 Because we're in a gotcha soundbite culture, right? 0.96

00:14:09.000 So one of the ways they'll digest your show or my show is someone will put a clip up, look what this piece of shit Tim Dillon said, and it'll have something that you said completely out of context in a two and a half hour rant where you're just like talking... 0.99

00:14:23.000 Nonsense about JFK still being alive. 0.99

00:14:27.000 Right, or whatever it is.

00:14:27.000 I end my live show every show I've been doing right now by saying, thanks for having me, everybody.

00:14:34.000 Ruth Bader Ginsburg is burning in hell.

00:14:37.000 And that's fun, because to me, I'm like, all I've seen is praise lavished upon her, and deservedly so, right?

00:14:45.000 But the funny angle to me is that she's actually burning in hell.

00:14:49.000 Right. 0.61

00:14:49.000 And goodnight. 0.61

00:14:51.000 But if you take that and you don't understand that that's a funny thing to say, and that there is no hell probably, and I don't know who's there, but that's the funny angle to say.

00:15:03.000 Of course.

00:15:05.000 One of the things that Louis C.K. said when he was talking about comedy material and getting in trouble for material...

00:15:11.000 He's like, comedy is often saying things that you're not supposed to say.

00:15:17.000 Right.

00:15:17.000 Like, that's why you say it, because everyone knows you're not supposed to say it, and then you go and say it, and like, oh my god, and that's what's funny.

00:15:24.000 Yes.

00:15:25.000 The idea that you're holding people to those thoughts as if this is like an affidavit, and they've signed this, and they've worked it out with lawyers, and this is my position, and this is where I stand.

00:15:34.000 No, you're literally talking off the cuff, saying something preposterous like, Ruth Bader Ginsburg It's the unexpected.

00:15:55.000 It's the crazy just out there say the most insane thing you can.

00:16:01.000 Well, the thing about it today though is everyone is looking to catch people saying things you shouldn't say and getting mad at you and then they want to silence you.

00:16:10.000 Right.

00:16:10.000 They want to stop you from saying the things that you shouldn't be saying.

00:16:14.000 What happened to curiosity?

00:16:15.000 You know, to me it's like a lot of this is the death of curiosity.

00:16:17.000 Right?

00:16:18.000 Because I grew up and I listened to all these different radio shows.

00:16:21.000 I would listen to AM talk radio, guys like Bob Grant and Rush Limbaugh.

00:16:25.000 Oh yeah, I remember Bob Grant.

00:16:26.000 Yeah, Bob Grant.

00:16:26.000 He used to go, get off my phone, you fake phony fraud.

00:16:29.000 And he would just hang up on people.

00:16:30.000 He would fight with people.

00:16:32.000 Guys would call him.

00:16:33.000 It was always like the same guy.

00:16:33.000 He was like, Bob, this is Tony from Seaside Heights.

00:16:36.000 And he would go, you know, I think you're the Clintons.

00:16:39.000 I think you'd be a little lighter. 0.95

00:16:40.000 And Bob would go, will you shut up?

00:16:42.000 And they would just fight all day.

00:16:44.000 And I didn't know if the guy was right or if he was wrong.

00:16:46.000 I just knew what was happening was hilarious and interesting.

00:16:50.000 And I was curious about what other people in the world – I was a young kid being driven around by my parents.

00:16:55.000 But I'm like – I was curious about what other people in the world thought, what they were saying.

00:17:00.000 Because when you listen to those talk radio shows, you're in a car, you're driving around, and you hear some psychopath that's calling Bob Grant.

00:17:06.000 Like they used to say to Bob Grant, they'd be like, you know, you really disappointed me.

00:17:10.000 And Bob Grant would go, do you know me?

00:17:12.000 Do you have any knowledge of who I am?

00:17:15.000 Like, I disappointed you.

00:17:16.000 And then you would try to look at the cars and be like, I wonder what psychopath went home and called the guy, you know?

00:17:20.000 So I was just curious.

00:17:21.000 Now it seems like there's this death of curiosity where no one is curious about what anyone else is thinking unless it happens to be what they're thinking.

00:17:29.000 It has to coincide exactly with how you view the world.

00:17:34.000 So uninteresting.

00:17:35.000 It's part of it is social media and part of it is Trump.

00:17:38.000 Trump has, his brand of being president, his way of doing it, has polarized people so hard that they will do anything and everything they can to keep him from being president again, from being president a second term.

00:17:54.000 And they're forcing compliance.

00:17:56.000 You have to comply with our view of what's going on in the world.

00:18:02.000 I find it fascinating just going through my Instagram feed and looking at people who are Trump supporters and Trump haters and looking at their perspectives.

00:18:10.000 Right. 0.98

00:18:10.000 And looking at this fucking giant Grand Canyon-like divide. 0.98

00:18:15.000 And my favorite thing is vote. 0.99

00:18:16.000 Tell everyone to vote.

00:18:17.000 That's what everyone does now.

00:18:19.000 I did a whole podcast episode this week.

00:18:20.000 I go, I'm not telling you to vote.

00:18:22.000 It's not my job.

00:18:23.000 Vote or don't vote.

00:18:24.000 It's like, I don't tell you to eat your vegetables.

00:18:26.000 I don't tell you to jog.

00:18:28.000 I don't tell you to do anything.

00:18:29.000 I'm not telling you have to meditate.

00:18:30.000 Hey, raise your kids. 0.97

00:18:31.000 You spend time with your kids?

00:18:33.000 Are you spending time with your son?

00:18:34.000 He's in college.

00:18:35.000 You and him don't talk.

00:18:36.000 Like, what in God's name?

00:18:38.000 Like, you walk into a nightclub to see me. 0.99

00:18:40.000 I say, Ruth Burt of Ginsburg's burning in hell.

00:18:42.000 Then I turn around and go, everyone make sure to have a voting plan. 1.00

00:18:45.000 Well, what's happened is there's a lot of these fucking idiots that aren't getting any attention. 1.00

00:18:50.000 And we've found out why they're in show business. 1.00

00:18:52.000 They're not just in show business to create.

00:18:54.000 They're not just in show business to hone their craft and to be good as an actor or be good as a comic.

00:19:00.000 They want attention.

00:19:02.000 And when there's no attention to be had on stage, they seek it out on Twitter.

00:19:06.000 And they seek it out by being correct about things.

00:19:09.000 Some people are using Twitter and they're just hilarious.

00:19:11.000 Right. 1.00

00:19:11.000 They're just saying ridiculous shit. 1.00

00:19:12.000 Very funny. 1.00

00:19:13.000 The same thing with Instagram.

00:19:14.000 Like, Lil Duvall is my favorite.

00:19:16.000 Yeah, he's great.

00:19:16.000 Because it never gets political, never gets serious.

00:19:19.000 Right.

00:19:19.000 Everything's just having a good time.

00:19:20.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:19:20.000 Occasionally talking about pussy. 0.99

00:19:22.000 Right, right. 1.00

00:19:22.000 That's mostly what he does. 1.00

00:19:24.000 Yeah.

00:19:24.000 But some people, they lack that self-awareness, and all they want is likes, right?

00:19:31.000 So they try to figure out, what can I say to get people thinking that I'm really progressive and really open-minded, and what can I say that really hits the tone and gets a lot of juicy likes?

00:19:41.000 I'd like to hit about 2,000 likes on this one.

00:19:45.000 It's so weird, because to me, social media is so fun, because the people that are really the best at it are 15, right?

00:19:51.000 They're the winners.

00:19:52.000 The TikTok kids are the winners.

00:19:54.000 The D'Amelio girls have like 80 million. 0.84

00:19:56.000 They're making money.

00:19:57.000 They're making real money.

00:19:58.000 Like millions of dollars, more than their parents.

00:20:00.000 And they're doing this. 1.00

00:20:00.000 My fucking 12 year old walks around the house all day. 1.00

00:20:03.000 So what are we all even trying to do? 1.00

00:20:05.000 Your take is not half of them going like this.

00:20:09.000 So what are we doing?

00:20:10.000 Your numbers are not...

00:20:12.000 So I look at it like it's a joke.

00:20:14.000 Social media should be a joke because it is a joke.

00:20:16.000 Because the people that are really monetizing it, like a lot of those people, they're 16-year-olds and they're dancing around and it's like, and it's unserious. 0.64

00:20:24.000 It's a silly thing.

00:20:26.000 The accumulation of time during the day, right?

00:20:28.000 If you look at people's phones, I'd love to grab Alyssa Milano's phone and go, eight hours! 0.97

00:20:32.000 Eight hours, you're on your phone?

00:20:34.000 Eight hours?

00:20:35.000 How many of these people are interacting with other human beings for eight hours a day?

00:20:39.000 Yeah, very few.

00:20:40.000 Very few.

00:20:41.000 And certainly not having meaningful conversations.

00:20:44.000 What they're doing is they're seeking approval through others online in this very fake, hollow, shallow way.

00:20:51.000 And that's what Twitter is.

00:20:53.000 It's arguing with people.

00:20:54.000 But some people use it well.

00:20:56.000 There's journalists that use it well.

00:20:57.000 There's people that find interesting things to discuss.

00:21:01.000 Some people pull it off.

00:21:03.000 But it's not many.

00:21:04.000 Yeah, I'm wondering if the answer is just abstinence, because I don't think people can handle this, right?

00:21:09.000 That's what Ari found out.

00:21:10.000 Yeah, I think that you might have to just disconnect.

00:21:13.000 And I wonder if subsequent generations will.

00:21:16.000 Like, they'll just go, we saw what happened in 2020. And this stuff almost led to a civil war and craziness.

00:21:23.000 We don't want any part of it.

00:21:24.000 Too many people like it.

00:21:25.000 Too many people like it for everybody to jump off, but I think enough people are going to understand because of documentaries like The Social Dilemma and conversations that they have with each other about it, where they're going to check out.

00:21:35.000 What is that?

00:21:36.000 The light phone?

00:21:36.000 Is that what it's called?

00:21:37.000 It's a black and white phone.

00:21:39.000 All you can do is text and make phone calls off of it.

00:21:42.000 It's like a small So it doesn't give you the vivid imagery of an iPhone.

00:21:47.000 You can't watch YouTube videos on it.

00:21:48.000 Just call 911. But if you want to text me, you can text me.

00:21:51.000 And if you want to call me, you can call me.

00:21:53.000 And that's all it does.

00:21:54.000 So no data.

00:21:55.000 Is that what it's called?

00:21:56.000 The light phone?

00:21:57.000 Yeah, look at this thing.

00:21:58.000 See, this is for people that realize they're junkies.

00:22:01.000 And they're like, oh, I'm a junkie.

00:22:04.000 It's kind of embarrassing, though, that you go, I can't control myself.

00:22:07.000 I need a light phone.

00:22:08.000 It is and it isn't, though, man.

00:22:10.000 Because there's something to be said for this.

00:22:12.000 There's something really good to be said for this.

00:22:14.000 Yeah, it's a phone, an alarm.

00:22:16.000 Oh, you can play music on it.

00:22:17.000 You can get a taxi.

00:22:19.000 Taxi?

00:22:19.000 Where do you live?

00:22:21.000 You live in Bangladesh?

00:22:22.000 Soon, light phone's going to sneak in a messaging feature.

00:22:25.000 Light phone's going to start to creep in.

00:22:27.000 No, no, no, no.

00:22:28.000 I'm amazed that it has music on it, though.

00:22:30.000 I am shocked by that.

00:22:31.000 The light phone can call, text, or set alarms out of the box.

00:22:35.000 What's up, Jamie?

00:22:35.000 You might be right.

00:22:36.000 Some parent will buy this for the kid and be like, you can have a phone, but all you can have is a light phone, and then kids will hack it.

00:22:41.000 Oh, my God.

00:22:43.000 It's coming.

00:22:43.000 No, it's coming.

00:22:44.000 By the way, they should have a fight phone where the only thing on it is Twitter.

00:22:48.000 You can't call anyone.

00:22:49.000 You can't text.

00:22:50.000 Just have a fight phone.

00:22:52.000 It's just Twitter and Facebook, and you can't call 911 if you get hit by a car.

00:22:56.000 Optional tech available includes a calculator, a simple music player, and a podcast, too. 0.94

00:23:02.000 Well, you fucked up there with the podcast. 0.92

00:23:04.000 Big problem. 0.97

00:23:05.000 Here's an animation of some of the interfaces or future tools that are still in development.

00:23:10.000 Not all these tools are yet available.

00:23:12.000 You know, I know friends who have taken Twitter and Instagram and Sam Harris deleted Instagram off his phone a long time ago.

00:23:21.000 He told me, he goes, I'm infinitely happier without it on my phone.

00:23:23.000 Because he would get in arguments with people on Instagram.

00:23:26.000 Oh, excuse me, Twitter. 1.00

00:23:28.000 And I would text him and be like, what the fuck are you doing, man? 1.00

00:23:31.000 You're a neuroscientist. 1.00

00:23:32.000 You're brilliant.

00:23:32.000 Why are you fighting with people online?

00:23:33.000 Why are you fighting with these idiots? 1.00

00:23:36.000 But it's like you get wrapped up in people saying disparaging things about you. 1.00

00:23:41.000 Yeah, you're being defamed and you're like, I should.

00:23:43.000 You don't have to read it.

00:23:44.000 You don't have to read it.

00:23:45.000 Keep moving.

00:23:45.000 You're big with that.

00:23:47.000 You don't get into the fray when people say nonsense about you.

00:23:52.000 There's too many people saying nonsense about me.

00:23:54.000 What am I going to do?

00:23:54.000 Spend my whole day doing that?

00:23:55.000 Right.

00:23:56.000 Because it would take hours and hours.

00:23:57.000 Yeah.

00:23:57.000 And that's how you wind up not being productive.

00:24:00.000 Right.

00:24:00.000 You want to be successful?

00:24:02.000 You want to get things done?

00:24:03.000 You can't be arguing with people about who you are.

00:24:05.000 Right.

00:24:06.000 Do you know who you are?

00:24:07.000 If you know who you are, you can't argue with people about who you are.

00:24:10.000 Right.

00:24:11.000 Makes sense.

00:24:11.000 If people want to bring up mistakes you've made 10 years ago or 5 years ago, like, okay.

00:24:15.000 Right.

00:24:15.000 Great.

00:24:16.000 Good luck with that.

00:24:17.000 Try to diminish me. 0.96

00:24:19.000 It's a silly way to treat people.

00:24:21.000 I wouldn't do it to other people.

00:24:23.000 I don't want them to do it to me.

00:24:24.000 But I don't want to argue with you either.

00:24:26.000 If you want to talk in person, if people want to talk in person, that's how people work things out.

00:24:30.000 And most of the time when you do that, you wind up hugging or laughing.

00:24:34.000 Yeah, it's fine.

00:24:34.000 Most people are cool.

00:24:35.000 It's a shit way to communicate. 1.00

00:24:37.000 It's bad. 1.00

00:24:38.000 I'll see people that are fighting on Facebook and I'm like, I know you have each other's numbers.

00:24:41.000 Right. 1.00

00:24:42.000 And also, fuck the number. 1.00

00:24:44.000 If you saw each other in person, I guarantee you'd just talk. 1.00

00:24:47.000 Right.

00:24:47.000 Nine times out of ten.

00:24:49.000 Right.

00:24:49.000 You would just talk.

00:24:50.000 Right.

00:24:50.000 You would just be like, well, I think he's this and that.

00:24:53.000 Well, maybe.

00:24:54.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:24:54.000 Right.

00:24:55.000 Like, you'd work it out.

00:24:56.000 Right.

00:24:56.000 It's not that wall there that's between you on social media.

00:25:00.000 It's also like when someone's writing something and you're not there in front of them, they're just writing it and then you have to read it and then you write something back.

00:25:09.000 We have an amazing way to communicate.

00:25:12.000 It involves looking at each other, it involves being near each other, it involves registering when you say something mean and it bothers a person.

00:25:22.000 All that stuff's out the window when you're just texting.

00:25:24.000 Or when you're tweeting.

00:25:26.000 Tweeting's even worse, right?

00:25:27.000 Because then the whole world's seeing it.

00:25:29.000 And you know that someone's saying something mean about you and other people are reading it.

00:25:32.000 This must be real.

00:25:33.000 Other people can read it.

00:25:34.000 It's a terrible way to communicate.

00:25:36.000 It's the worst.

00:25:37.000 It's probably the worst way in history we've ever had to have a productive conversation. 0.97

00:25:42.000 And there are so many people that are mentally ill because of it. 0.99

00:25:47.000 Mentally ill.

00:25:48.000 Do you think it exacerbated something?

00:25:50.000 A hundred percent.

00:25:51.000 A hundred percent. 1.00

00:25:52.000 And a lot of them are these fucking actors and actresses. 1.00

00:25:55.000 They're not getting any attention. 1.00

00:25:57.000 It's narcissism run wild and there's no puncturing it with any type of objective reality or facts.

00:26:05.000 They're creating their own world to live in.

00:26:07.000 Does this get worse though?

00:26:08.000 I think it kind of gets worse.

00:26:09.000 I think it heads to a kind of dystopian place where everybody lives in their own reality.

00:26:14.000 We're seeing that right now and it just seems to be inevitable to a degree.

00:26:19.000 The real fear is that it's going to get more immersive.

00:26:22.000 The real fear is that the solution will be even worse than this.

00:26:26.000 And it's going to be like in your head, chip in the head. 0.83

00:26:28.000 Yeah, some Neuralink type shit that the next level of this interaction, the next level of technology is going to be way more immersive. 0.96

00:26:36.000 That's what I'm worried about. 0.91

00:26:37.000 I'm worried it's not going to be something you escape from.

00:26:39.000 Like you can escape, like you just leave your phone there.

00:26:42.000 If that phone goes into your body, you're not escaping.

00:26:48.000 Yeah, you just hit the switch, Tim.

00:26:49.000 Just hit the switch.

00:26:50.000 Don't turn it on when you pee.

00:26:51.000 Don't check your messages while you're peeing.

00:26:53.000 Just let me see how people feel about it.

00:26:55.000 Everyone's mad!

00:26:56.000 Everyone hates me!

00:26:57.000 All the Megan McCain routine! 1.00

00:27:00.000 I gotta be honest with you, it sounds so convenient, the chip, already, because I lose my phone a lot.

00:27:05.000 So I'm like, already, I could just get a chip and then just kind of...

00:27:09.000 Click it on, and I will just...

00:27:11.000 It's like a chip.

00:27:12.000 What are you worried about?

00:27:12.000 You're a strong man.

00:27:14.000 Yeah, you can handle it.

00:27:14.000 What are you worried?

00:27:15.000 Sticks and stones can hurt your bones?

00:27:17.000 I know.

00:27:17.000 Maybe we should all embrace it.

00:27:18.000 Maybe we should just go that route.

00:27:20.000 Maybe there is no fight anymore.

00:27:21.000 Maybe we're not spending enough time on Twitter. 1.00

00:27:24.000 Right, just be a cunt 24 hours a day. 1.00

00:27:26.000 Just lay in a spot and tweet. 1.00

00:27:29.000 Go to war. 0.80

00:27:29.000 Just go to war. 0.80

00:27:30.000 Just fire off...

00:27:32.000 Tweets all day, every day.

00:27:34.000 Fight with people you don't know.

00:27:35.000 Just quote people and go, bad take.

00:27:38.000 Nope.

00:27:39.000 I love that.

00:27:39.000 You just quote tweet and go, nope.

00:27:41.000 Fuck off. 1.00

00:27:42.000 Bad take. 1.00

00:27:43.000 Be better.

00:27:45.000 Be better is my favorite.

00:27:46.000 Be better.

00:27:47.000 Just keep going! 1.00

00:27:48.000 Just all the passive-aggressive shit that you could say, possibly. 1.00

00:27:51.000 Yeah, you almost wonder, is it just, do you just jump in hard? 1.00

00:27:54.000 And then you have, like, Facebook, which is, to me, the funniest one because it is truly a graveyard.

00:28:01.000 It's elderly people screaming out into the void, into nothingness. 0.99

00:28:05.000 Writing long, multiple paragraph posts.

00:28:08.000 It's purgatory for people that are, like, on their deathbed.

00:28:13.000 They're in the latter years of their life.

00:28:15.000 Their dog just died.

00:28:16.000 They've got a picture of their dead dog on Facebook.

00:28:19.000 They're saying, Max took his last nap.

00:28:21.000 And then they're writing three paragraphs about Kamala Harris.

00:28:24.000 It's like, this is crazy.

00:28:26.000 And then other people are fighting with them.

00:28:29.000 And it's really sick.

00:28:31.000 But I like it.

00:28:32.000 I enjoy it.

00:28:33.000 I do a thread sometimes.

00:28:34.000 Instead of a Netflix movie, sometimes I'll just do a 300-comment thread.

00:28:37.000 Really?

00:28:38.000 Yeah, just read it.

00:28:39.000 I'll just read it.

00:28:40.000 I'll just go, wow.

00:28:42.000 Wow.

00:28:42.000 Interesting.

00:28:43.000 You know, some people are surprisingly smart.

00:28:46.000 Some people are so out there.

00:28:48.000 Some people that used to sell me cocaine are now big into family values.

00:28:52.000 Really?

00:28:53.000 So I love that.

00:28:54.000 Yeah, a lot of my ex-coke dealers are now cute people.

00:28:56.000 Okay.

00:28:57.000 So they're like, save the children.

00:28:59.000 I'm like, you didn't raise your children.

00:29:01.000 You sold me cocaine.

00:29:03.000 I was a child.

00:29:04.000 I was doing it when I was in my teens.

00:29:06.000 And now you're like, we need to save the children in the tunnels.

00:29:08.000 I'm like, what?

00:29:09.000 So it's fun to track the progression of people through those sites.

00:29:16.000 There's enough real child trafficking where those people get positive reinforcement of their ideas.

00:29:22.000 We were talking about recently, Jamie, those 35 people that were saved in Georgia.

00:29:31.000 As wrong as they are, they're also right.

00:29:34.000 That's the thing about the Q people. 1.00

00:29:36.000 As wrong as they are, they're also right in certain instances.

00:29:40.000 Human trafficking is a massive problem.

00:29:41.000 It's a real problem.

00:29:42.000 And there have been massive cover-ups with our government and many other governments.

00:29:45.000 And we're in the midst of one right now.

00:29:47.000 Today, there's more slavery today than when we had slavery in the United States.

00:29:52.000 25 missing and endangered kids rescued in Ohio over two weeks.

00:29:56.000 U.S. Marshals located dozens of missing children between the ages of 13 and 18 in a mission called Operation Safety Net.

00:30:03.000 The children found in Cleveland East Cleveland, Akron, Mansfield, what is that?

00:30:10.000 Euclid, Willoughby, and even Miami, Florida.

00:30:14.000 Wow.

00:30:14.000 So right there, it's an operation.

00:30:15.000 That's a trafficking operation. 0.96

00:30:16.000 It's real.

00:30:17.000 Yeah, it's absolutely real.

00:30:18.000 That is real.

00:30:18.000 And it's particularly real when you can get kids that are orphans.

00:30:23.000 Fall through the cracks.

00:30:24.000 Foster kids.

00:30:25.000 Yeah, and the government, I mean, this is what nobody really wants to admit, that the United States government, at all levels, has in many ways, like...

00:30:36.000 Been either a kind of, I won't say a sponsor of this on the whole, but there's elements of the CIA that have allowed things like this to happen in order to get information on people.

00:30:48.000 Well, that was the idea about the Epstein thing.

00:30:50.000 Absolutely it was.

00:30:51.000 Was that they let him do that so that they would have something over these people.

00:30:56.000 And that is sick beyond human comprehension and most people don't want to really admit that's happening.

00:31:02.000 And when I think, like a lot of the cute people found that stuff out, then their brains melted and they were like, oh, but David Spade's eating kids.

00:31:10.000 It's like, that's not it.

00:31:11.000 That's not where it goes.

00:31:12.000 What it is, is that you have a lot of people that are Getting educated overnight, and their minds cannot handle the amount of information, much of it very disturbing.

00:31:27.000 Remember last week when you asked, that was the first time that that happened, the Epstein-style story, and I mentioned that.

00:31:34.000 Which Epstein-style story?

00:31:36.000 I think you said something like, this has never happened before, like senators.

00:31:39.000 Oh, that's right, and then you found that other story.

00:31:41.000 He's the one I learned about it from.

00:31:42.000 Uh-huh.

00:31:43.000 Yeah, well, no, this happened before.

00:31:44.000 It happened in Omaha, Nebraska.

00:31:46.000 It was called the Franklin Scandal.

00:31:47.000 A lot of people know about it.

00:31:48.000 A guy named Nick Bryant wrote a book about it, and there was an interstate pedophile network that was trafficking kids to wealthy and powerful people, many of them in the government.

00:31:56.000 I mean, there's a market.

00:31:56.000 There's money here.

00:31:57.000 That's separate from North Fox Island.

00:32:00.000 North Fox Island also.

00:32:01.000 I mean, there's many, many.

00:32:03.000 He knows a lot of them.

00:32:04.000 I had some guys on the podcast that blew my mind.

00:32:07.000 I was a conspiracy guy and I had no idea that this was going on, but a lot of it is blackmail and a lot of it is people allowing the worst things imaginable to happen to children in order to gain leverage on other people.

00:32:19.000 That's what was happening with Epstein.

00:32:21.000 That's what was happening with Franklin.

00:32:23.000 But it's also people that have that hunger. 1.00

00:32:25.000 They have this appetite for that shit. 1.00

00:32:27.000 Of course. 1.00

00:32:28.000 They're sick, sadistic pedophiles. 1.00

00:32:30.000 And then some group of people call it an intelligence agency or whoever. 1.00

00:32:35.000 Whoever wants leverage, whoever wants power is using this as a means to obtain it.

00:32:40.000 Yeah.

00:32:40.000 So even though the Q people are – because they're saying like, well, everyone in Hollywood has been executed and other clones.

00:32:45.000 I mean it's like – it's kind of funny.

00:32:46.000 It's kind of funny a little bit.

00:32:48.000 They're really – JFK Jr. is alive.

00:32:50.000 There's some real wild stuff.

00:32:51.000 But the core premise, which is that human trafficking is a horrible, insidious thing that is connected to many high-powered people, isn't necessarily wrong.

00:33:01.000 Right.

00:33:02.000 No, it's not.

00:33:03.000 It's not wrong. 0.84

00:33:03.000 And there's a lot of evidence throughout history. 0.84

00:33:06.000 That's why, you know, that Pizzagate shit turned out to be nonsense. 0.99

00:33:11.000 But they're creepy. 0.99

00:33:12.000 And that art is creepy.

00:33:14.000 It's not just that the art is creepy.

00:33:16.000 Yeah.

00:33:16.000 It's that...

00:33:18.000 Do you remember when Breitbart wrote a tweet about...

00:33:22.000 John Podesta.

00:33:23.000 Yeah.

00:33:23.000 And he said, it's something to the degree of, when will it come out that John Podesta is protecting sexual predators or something like that?

00:33:32.000 I forget the tweet.

00:33:33.000 Jamie could find it.

00:33:34.000 It was along the lines of that.

00:33:35.000 It was almost like that he was helping them.

00:33:38.000 Right.

00:33:38.000 Enabling...

00:33:39.000 Correct.

00:33:39.000 Enabling, yes.

00:33:40.000 And I forget, yeah.

00:33:41.000 I mean...

00:33:43.000 There have been people like that in high levels of government and in leadership.

00:33:50.000 There it is.

00:33:53.000 Now, 2011, February 4th.

00:34:02.000 He died shortly after that.

00:34:04.000 Yeah, he didn't die long after that.

00:34:05.000 Not long. 0.97

00:34:06.000 But he also was unhealthy and crazy. 0.93

00:34:08.000 He was kind of crazy too, right? 0.56

00:34:09.000 I don't know much about him, but I'm sure he was a little wild.

00:34:11.000 I mean, to get into that business, you have to be, right?

00:34:13.000 I would imagine...

00:34:15.000 I mean, he was a guy that did a lot of stunts.

00:34:17.000 He was very incendiary.

00:34:21.000 He made a name for himself and made a name for his company.

00:34:24.000 That's the the problem with those guys is yeah, like whenever someone goes way out of their way to do stunts and to do things It's like yeah, and then something else if you're involved in something and then it's legitimate now I have to go right what is it? 0.99

00:34:42.000 that The guy, what the fuck is his name? 0.99

00:34:47.000 That guy that's always doing the undercover shit. 1.00

00:34:50.000 James O'Keefe. 0.99

00:34:51.000 Yeah, James O'Keefe.

00:34:51.000 He's got a new one now about Ilhan Omar.

00:34:54.000 The ballots in the car.

00:34:55.000 Yeah, the ballots in the car.

00:34:56.000 And he's got these guys saying, look at all these ballots, look at all these ballots.

00:34:59.000 But you gotta go with that guy.

00:35:01.000 You gotta go, okay. 0.99

00:35:02.000 There was some shit with Roy Moore where they were trying to get girls to say that he knocked them up. 1.00

00:35:09.000 There was a lot of sting shit. 1.00

00:35:12.000 It's like anybody that you know he's coming to this with a strong agenda. 1.00

00:35:17.000 But then he also catches shit that's real. 0.99

00:35:19.000 Like he caught those people on Twitter. 0.99

00:35:22.000 The Twitter executives talking about how they shadow ban people.

00:35:25.000 Talking about how they ban conservatives or how they block conservatives.

00:35:28.000 That's all.

00:35:29.000 Right.

00:35:30.000 Absolutely.

00:35:31.000 So it's like, whenever someone can't be straight with you, and they have little tricks, and they have stunts, whenever that, you go...

00:35:41.000 I think the argument that those guys make is that to get any attention in the climate that we're in, It's almost impossible to do it with like a sober, reasoned, rational approach.

00:35:53.000 You have to, because it's the circus.

00:35:55.000 They're competing with Trump.

00:35:56.000 They're competing with anybody.

00:35:57.000 They're competing for oxygen with some of the most entertaining president in history.

00:36:03.000 By far.

00:36:04.000 By far, right?

00:36:05.000 So anything you do now has to be on that level of spectacle.

00:36:09.000 Yeah.

00:36:31.000 I mean, look at me.

00:36:33.000 Do you think I know how to pronounce Ilhan Omar's name?

00:36:36.000 When I looked today, because I saw it yesterday, the initial response I saw was probably more from liberal sides for being like, this is just to fog the conversation because of all the tax stuff that just came out.

00:36:51.000 Take this with a grain of salt because of his history.

00:36:53.000 Yeah, but it takes time to gather up that kind of information.

00:36:57.000 I don't buy that it's just when the tax stuff came out because that seems like something they've been working on for a while.

00:37:02.000 He's got absentee ballots in the car.

00:37:04.000 Yeah.

00:37:06.000 Just filling them out.

00:37:06.000 People fill them out.

00:37:07.000 Is that how it works?

00:37:08.000 Here's the thing. 0.99

00:37:09.000 If that's not real and this turns out to be bullshit, there should be a punishment for that. 0.99

00:37:14.000 Absolutely. 0.99

00:37:14.000 Because you are absolutely manipulating people. 0.99

00:37:17.000 Remember the kid, Jacob Wool, who got banned on Twitter?

00:37:20.000 This guy would just set up these blatantly fake things.

00:37:24.000 Like they tried to get, I forget, maybe Robert Mueller or somebody, they tried to get somebody accused of sexual assault.

00:37:31.000 He would do these stunts all the time.

00:37:33.000 This kid, Jacob Wool.

00:37:34.000 And he's a fun young guy from Orange County.

00:37:38.000 He's a fun guy.

00:37:39.000 And he would just go on Twitter and try to...

00:37:42.000 He would do fake press conference, Joe.

00:37:44.000 They would call the whole media and they would go, we're about to reveal something spectacular and crazy.

00:37:48.000 And none of it was ever true.

00:37:50.000 And I mean, he would just do this over and over again.

00:37:54.000 So that was just his thing.

00:37:55.000 He was just having fun.

00:37:56.000 He's a kid having fun.

00:37:57.000 But what I was going to say is, but if it turns out to be true, there should be punishment as well.

00:38:03.000 Right.

00:38:03.000 When something like that gets revealed, and...

00:38:07.000 The more of those that turn out to not be true, there should be a number of those you could pull off before we go, alright, we can't listen to you anymore.

00:38:16.000 Is he there?

00:38:17.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:38:18.000 He is.

00:38:19.000 That kid is.

00:38:20.000 But the James O'Keefe guy isn't.

00:38:22.000 Because I have intelligent friends that sent me the Omar thing, and they're like, this is very disturbing. 1.00

00:38:28.000 Well, I think a lot of it is...

00:38:31.000 I mean, like, we were talking...

00:38:33.000 If true, they said.

00:38:33.000 If true.

00:38:34.000 If true, yeah.

00:38:35.000 The caveat's very important.

00:38:36.000 If true.

00:38:37.000 Those two words are a big...

00:38:38.000 Yeah, if true.

00:38:39.000 I mean, if I'm in any of the James O'Keefe videos, you know they're a lie.

00:38:43.000 If James O'Keefe has me with a bunch of ballots in my car, we know it's...

00:38:47.000 Yeah, and you're driving a cab all of a sudden.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, I'm driving a cab...

00:38:51.000 You know, and I got all these ballots and I'm speaking a Jamaican accent.

00:38:54.000 Then yes.

00:38:54.000 Then yes, unfortunately.

00:38:56.000 I don't know if it's true.

00:38:58.000 I mean, it was funny because he was tweeting out that she said something about how voter fraud is, like, the numbers of voter fraud are so minuscule.

00:39:08.000 It's like.0006%.

00:39:10.000 Yeah.

00:39:11.000 And then he tweets out this stuff about her and voter fraud.

00:39:14.000 Right.

00:39:15.000 And I'm wondering how big...

00:39:16.000 I don't know how big voter fraud is.

00:39:19.000 That's something I have no idea.

00:39:21.000 I've never met a person in my life that's like, you know what I'm going to do today? 0.98

00:39:25.000 I'm going to go fucking vote seven times. 0.95

00:39:27.000 I've never met that person. 0.99

00:39:28.000 The one thing...

00:39:29.000 I mean, watching the video, just watching it, it's obviously highly edited.

00:39:34.000 So, like, you can't say it's not an edited video and...

00:39:37.000 That doesn't take a lot of things away because you have to edit the video.

00:39:40.000 You kind of have to edit, right?

00:39:41.000 Because it's got to be small.

00:39:43.000 You don't know who the people are that are being covered up.

00:39:45.000 I think when I saw...

00:39:46.000 I was reading through people that are like...

00:39:48.000 I think Newsweek was digging into each piece of it today.

00:39:51.000 And I don't know that they could verify everything because they weren't saying that this was necessarily false.

00:39:56.000 But they asked if that guy worked for who they said he worked for.

00:39:59.000 And I don't think they got a response that said, yes, he verifiably works for these people or something.

00:40:04.000 So that's where it kind of gets...

00:40:06.000 But if someone was doing something that illegal, why would they be like, who are you, strange man with camera?

00:40:12.000 Come look, I break law.

00:40:13.000 I break law everywhere. 0.84

00:40:15.000 Crazy.

00:40:16.000 What is James O'Keefe's deal?

00:40:17.000 He just goes, I'm just going to figure out a fun conspiracy that's happening.

00:40:22.000 He goes, how does he get into these things?

00:40:24.000 He gets a tip, and then he goes, let's just get some cameras in there.

00:40:27.000 I don't know.

00:40:27.000 It's like a YouTube prank show fused with political exposés.

00:40:31.000 The problem is the Twitter stuff.

00:40:33.000 The problem is the stuff where he actually did catch executives or, excuse me, catch employees that were talking about how they make it so that conservative voices don't get heard.

00:40:44.000 Yeah, which I believe 100%.

00:40:46.000 It's 100%.

00:40:48.000 It's real.

00:40:49.000 It's real.

00:40:49.000 And whether or not it is top-down or whether or not the tools are available to employees and they act as activists, that's possible too.

00:40:58.000 Another thing, too, I was reading about this.

00:41:00.000 I think it's about ballot harvesting, and according to this article, it says that it's actually not illegal in Minnesota, but there have been propositions currently.

00:41:07.000 I think Tulsi Gabbard put something up to have it be made illegal, I think, nationwide.

00:41:12.000 So ballot harvesting is not something I understand.

00:41:14.000 What the hell is ballot harvesting?

00:41:16.000 Yeah, explain ballot harvesting.

00:41:17.000 I wish I could, but from what I read quickly about it, Certain workers who are not supposed to be paid by anyone, which is part of like, you're not supposed to be paid for this, is where it gets muddy.

00:41:28.000 You're allowed to go collect ballots from people to then turn them in.

00:41:31.000 Right.

00:41:32.000 But only three.

00:41:33.000 I think it can't be more than three.

00:41:36.000 Right, that's where it gets really...

00:41:37.000 Yeah, that's what I read.

00:41:38.000 And this guy had like a whole bag of them.

00:41:40.000 Look at all the illegal stuff I do on camera.

00:41:42.000 You for me?

00:41:43.000 Come with me.

00:41:44.000 I'll show you my face.

00:41:45.000 I'll show you the ballots.

00:41:48.000 Something feels off about it, right?

00:41:50.000 Something feels strange.

00:41:51.000 It feels a little fake.

00:41:52.000 He wants to go to jail.

00:41:54.000 But it might be rigged. 0.97

00:41:55.000 He might be the kind of guy that you hire to do something like this because he's a crazy guy who works for a cab company. 0.97

00:42:00.000 Right. 0.92

00:42:01.000 Interesting. 0.99

00:42:01.000 And he doesn't give a fuck and he doesn't know there's a camera on him. 0.99

00:42:04.000 He doesn't care. 0.99

00:42:04.000 Maybe he doesn't know there's a camera on him. 0.99

00:42:06.000 And maybe what's edited is this guy going, you know what? 1.00

00:42:09.000 Fuck Trump. 1.00

00:42:11.000 If I could vote 30 times, I'd vote 30 times that we need to get him out of office. 1.00

00:42:17.000 He's fucking racist and he's sexy. 1.00

00:42:19.000 He's a piece of shit. 1.00

00:42:20.000 You know, he didn't pay any fucking taxes. 1.00

00:42:22.000 That fucking guy's always going off about socialism. 1.00

00:42:24.000 He's a fucking socialist! 1.00

00:42:27.000 Look, I got a 30 ballot. 1.00

00:42:29.000 I fucking cheat. 1.00

00:42:31.000 I'm a cheater and a liar. 1.00

00:42:33.000 I get paid. 1.00

00:42:34.000 I throw these away.

00:42:35.000 I watched that.

00:42:36.000 I was like, what is this?

00:42:38.000 Like, what?

00:42:39.000 I mean, people should watch it because it's interesting.

00:42:41.000 It's a what is this?

00:42:42.000 What is this?

00:42:43.000 What is this?

00:42:43.000 Yeah.

00:42:44.000 I mean, this election is going to have problems.

00:42:48.000 It's going to be chaos.

00:42:49.000 That's why I'm in Texas.

00:42:50.000 You should move here before November 3rd.

00:42:52.000 I'm locking myself in my studio.

00:42:54.000 I'm doing an event where I go, I'm not leaving the studio until there's a president.

00:42:58.000 Oh, will you be there for years?

00:42:59.000 Well, I hope not.

00:43:00.000 But I'm going to lock myself in.

00:43:02.000 I'm thinking it's going to be Pelosi.

00:43:03.000 48 hours.

00:43:04.000 You think it's going to get that bad?

00:43:05.000 Yeah, and she's going to do all of her press conferences from that very beauty salon where she didn't wear a mask. 1.00

00:43:12.000 I heard if, I think if the president doesn't accept the results or whatever, and there is like a time period where it's not decided, she does become the default.

00:43:19.000 Oh yeah, she's the third person in charge. 0.99

00:43:21.000 She's the Speaker of the House. 1.00

00:43:22.000 That's how it works.

00:43:24.000 That's real.

00:43:24.000 Well, we need a landslide.

00:43:25.000 We need whoever wins.

00:43:27.000 We need someone to take Florida and Ohio early in the night.

00:43:30.000 I don't know if it counts without the ballots.

00:43:33.000 If they're encouraging mail-in ballots, here's what disturbs me.

00:43:36.000 When one party wants mail-in ballots and the other party doesn't, I'm like, why do they want it?

00:43:40.000 I don't know the answer to this.

00:43:42.000 I'm just speculating.

00:43:43.000 Why do the Democrats want it?

00:43:44.000 And why does Trump not want it?

00:43:46.000 Democrats are saying COVID's going to keep people from voting.

00:43:49.000 Is it?

00:43:50.000 I don't believe it is.

00:43:51.000 I think that's wrong.

00:43:51.000 Come on.

00:43:52.000 Is it keeping people from buying groceries?

00:43:53.000 No.

00:43:53.000 Is it keeping people from going to Jack in the Box?

00:43:55.000 Yeah, and I know people that, these people hate Trump so much, it's like, well then have that be your last act.

00:44:00.000 Have that be your last earthly act.

00:44:02.000 How beautiful would that be?

00:44:04.000 Because all you've done, right, there you go.

00:44:08.000 All you've done is say, this guy's ruining your life every day. 1.00

00:44:11.000 Go and die and get rid of him. 1.00

00:44:15.000 I wish there was someone to root for. 1.00

00:44:16.000 I know.

00:44:17.000 There's no one to root for. 0.97

00:44:18.000 I wish there was someone who just stood out as being this fucking perfect person that I really love. 0.95

00:44:23.000 No, we don't have any of that. 0.98

00:44:24.000 I wish it was Tulsi Gabbard. 1.00

00:44:26.000 I'd fucking vote for her naked. 1.00

00:44:29.000 I'd be out there coughing my mouth. 1.00

00:44:31.000 I'm voting for her.

00:44:32.000 Well, there were people that were interesting.

00:44:33.000 Sanders was interesting because he didn't seem like he was in the system like everybody else was.

00:44:37.000 But it also seemed like maybe a lot of what he wanted to do never would have gotten done.

00:44:41.000 I was interested to see if he could pull it off.

00:44:43.000 When he was talking...

00:44:44.000 When people were talking about what he wanted to do versus what he was talking about, what he wanted to do, I was like, oh...

00:44:50.000 They're distorting your voice.

00:44:52.000 They're distorting your narrative.

00:44:54.000 And when I had him on the podcast, we talked for a while.

00:44:56.000 I'm like, you're not crazy.

00:44:57.000 You're just a good guy who wants to do well for the working people.

00:45:02.000 And your idea is to take a small fraction, less than a penny, of these speculation trades, and then take the money off of that and dedicate it to social causes.

00:45:13.000 Like, I'm in.

00:45:14.000 Yeah.

00:45:14.000 I mean, if that was what it was, I think a lot of people would have been in.

00:45:16.000 But he's just one of those small group of politicians that, He doesn't get the air time.

00:45:23.000 You gave him air time, but you rightly said he had to explain that in 30 seconds.

00:45:28.000 Yes, under normal circumstances. 0.98

00:45:30.000 But then I gave this tepid endorsement of him, and they used that with all jokes and shit that I said. 1.00

00:45:37.000 He's homophobic, transphobic, racist, this, that, fucking everything. 1.00

00:45:42.000 And they took him out. 1.00

00:45:43.000 They took him out. 0.99

00:45:44.000 And then the fucking DNC all aligned together to get Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren all dive out. 0.99

00:45:53.000 That's who they wanted. 0.99

00:45:53.000 They quit. 0.99

00:45:54.000 Yeah.

00:45:54.000 And so that Biden would get the...

00:45:57.000 The whole thing was dirty.

00:45:58.000 The DNC has rigged this now like twice against him.

00:46:02.000 Twice.

00:46:02.000 Pretty much.

00:46:03.000 Twice.

00:46:03.000 They did it.

00:46:03.000 Donna Brazile's book talks openly about it.

00:46:06.000 Right.

00:46:06.000 They did it twice.

00:46:08.000 Dude, it's a dirty organization. 0.99

00:46:10.000 It's a dirty organization. 1.00

00:46:10.000 They're both dirty. 1.00

00:46:11.000 But Sanders was a little too nice. 0.99

00:46:13.000 Yes.

00:46:14.000 Trump just lit the Republican Party on fire.

00:46:17.000 I mean, he went in there.

00:46:19.000 He said, McCain's not a hero.

00:46:20.000 I like people who didn't get captured.

00:46:22.000 He went right at Jeb Bush.

00:46:24.000 I mean, they were the political dynasty in the Republican Party.

00:46:27.000 He just laid waste.

00:46:27.000 Called him sleepy.

00:46:28.000 Laid waste to them.

00:46:29.000 Low energy Jeb.

00:46:30.000 Low energy Jeb.

00:46:31.000 Just went in there and...

00:46:32.000 Sanders was like, oh, these are my colleagues and I respect them.

00:46:35.000 I'm like, that's not the way to do this.

00:46:37.000 The reason why he did that is because that's who he really is.

00:46:39.000 I know.

00:46:40.000 He's not a bullshitter. 1.00

00:46:41.000 He's not full of shit. 1.00

00:46:42.000 And that's why I liked him. 1.00

00:46:43.000 I enjoyed talking to him, man.

00:46:45.000 I really did.

00:46:46.000 But now he'll get to sit in Vermont.

00:46:48.000 He'll write a book.

00:46:49.000 Nobody's going to buy that book.

00:46:50.000 No one's going to buy it, but he can write it.

00:46:53.000 He can have a little ice cream.

00:46:54.000 But if you want in the big game, you've got to go on thing. 1.00

00:46:58.000 You've got to look at Klobuchar and go, shut up, you centrist bitch. 1.00

00:47:01.000 You don't even know who the president of Mexico is! 1.00

00:47:05.000 And then he has to go and just lay waste to everybody.

00:47:08.000 Every time Kamala talked, he should have went, cop!

00:47:12.000 That's what he should have did!

00:47:14.000 Cop!

00:47:15.000 That's what Trump would have done.

00:47:16.000 He needed to be the left Trump.

00:47:19.000 Like Biden talks.

00:47:20.000 Sanders goes, this guy's dead.

00:47:22.000 He's in bed with credit card companies in Delaware.

00:47:25.000 He had the worst criminal justice bill ever. 0.98

00:47:27.000 That guy's a corpse.

00:47:29.000 Sanders should have nicknamed everyone like Trump did. 0.99

00:47:32.000 Corpse, cop.

00:47:33.000 What's crazy is when there's corruption, but they'll ignore it because it'll interfere with what they want. 1.00

00:47:40.000 Like this Hunter Biden shit. 1.00

00:47:42.000 Yes. 1.00

00:47:43.000 Bro.

00:47:43.000 It's crazy.

00:47:44.000 This was Donald Trump Jr. And is Hunter the one that passed away or no?

00:47:47.000 No, he's the one that's still alive.

00:47:49.000 He's the one that took millions of dollars.

00:47:51.000 Did he marry the wife of the brother?

00:47:54.000 I hope so.

00:47:54.000 I don't know.

00:47:55.000 Something went wild there, right?

00:47:57.000 Didn't something go wild, Jamie?

00:47:59.000 Something went weird with the brother that died's wife and Hunter, I think.

00:48:04.000 I could be wrong.

00:48:05.000 Don't quote me on this.

00:48:06.000 I don't know. 0.66

00:48:06.000 But the scandal is that he took a shit ton of money from Russian billionaires, right? 0.66

00:48:13.000 Isn't that the scandal?

00:48:14.000 Jamie's double Googling right now.

00:48:16.000 Hold. 0.96

00:48:17.000 Let's start with the brother, the wife of the brother.

00:48:20.000 I could be wrong about this.

00:48:22.000 Hunter Biden, father-child with woman...

00:48:25.000 While dating brother's widow.

00:48:27.000 Whoa.

00:48:28.000 I mean, this is a wild family.

00:48:30.000 Hold on.

00:48:30.000 Can I see a picture of this girl?

00:48:32.000 Good point. 1.00

00:48:34.000 She might have been hot as fuck. 1.00

00:48:35.000 Well, Joe Biden is the one on the right. 1.00

00:48:37.000 Okay.

00:48:40.000 Hunter and Haley Biden.

00:48:41.000 They broke up after nearly two years of dating.

00:48:44.000 She filed a paternity suit.

00:48:46.000 Same month, Hunter Biden, 49, married Melissa Cohen after just six days of dating.

00:48:51.000 Yeah, well, okay. 0.98

00:48:51.000 Maybe he found the perfect girl after he'd already knocked up this other chick, and this other chick he fucking hated, but he vowed to take care of the baby. 0.98

00:49:00.000 You know? 0.97

00:49:00.000 But it's interesting. 0.97

00:49:01.000 He's dating the brother's widow.

00:49:02.000 That's interesting.

00:49:03.000 People are messy.

00:49:03.000 Sure.

00:49:04.000 People are messy.

00:49:05.000 Sure.

00:49:05.000 Listen, the brother's dead.

00:49:07.000 Maybe he's in love with the widow.

00:49:08.000 Maybe it's a perfect relationship.

00:49:10.000 Sounds good.

00:49:10.000 I don't have a problem with that.

00:49:12.000 I mean, it's weird.

00:49:13.000 It is strange.

00:49:14.000 It's certainly salacious.

00:49:15.000 It's odd.

00:49:15.000 It's odd that Biden is holding up children and sniffing them.

00:49:19.000 That's odd.

00:49:20.000 He's a sniffer.

00:49:21.000 But the other thing that bothers me is how much did he get from some billionaire?

00:49:27.000 He got money from a Russian billionaire.

00:49:29.000 I think it was like some...

00:49:31.000 A very large amount of money.

00:49:33.000 They're all involved in this energy company.

00:49:34.000 They all find these little scams that nobody knows about and then eventually they come out like once every four years, election year.

00:49:40.000 But I think a lot of them were working for like this same energy company in the Ukraine that's involved with all of these problems.

00:49:47.000 Yeah, well, I mean, Hillary Clinton was involved with the Russians.

00:49:50.000 You know what's hilarious?

00:49:51.000 There's one meme.

00:49:52.000 It's a really good meme.

00:49:53.000 Here it is.

00:49:54.000 Hunter Biden received $3.5 million wild transfer from Russian billionaire.

00:49:58.000 Yeah.

00:49:59.000 Okay.

00:50:00.000 Biden was briefed about Sun's involvement according to Hunter Biden's Burisma.

00:50:07.000 Hunter Biden Burisma?

00:50:08.000 What does that mean?

00:50:10.000 Hunter...

00:50:11.000 Oh, okay.

00:50:14.000 Oh, the company's Burisma.

00:50:16.000 Joe Biden's son Hunter made money from Russia, China.

00:50:22.000 Okay.

00:50:23.000 All right.

00:50:24.000 I don't know.

00:50:26.000 Maybe he earned the money.

00:50:27.000 Right.

00:50:29.000 But I just know that it's weird that the media is kind of ignoring it.

00:50:31.000 Well, the media is 100% in the tank.

00:50:34.000 They don't want Trump winning.

00:50:35.000 90% of the media.

00:50:36.000 90% of the media, except for Fox News and Candace Owens.

00:50:40.000 Those are the two media figures.

00:50:42.000 Is she media now?

00:50:42.000 Candace Owens is bigger than anyone.

00:50:44.000 She is.

00:50:45.000 She's on Facebook.

00:50:46.000 She's got like 300 million views. 1.00

00:50:47.000 I mean, she's crazy. 0.93

00:50:48.000 Giant. 0.99

00:50:49.000 And I've got to be honest with you.

00:50:50.000 You can't not watch her.

00:50:52.000 Whether you like her or not...

00:50:53.000 She is very smart.

00:50:55.000 She's very articulate.

00:50:56.000 She really knows how to talk. 0.54

00:50:57.000 She knows how to talk. 0.98

00:50:58.000 But every now and then she'll do something wild.

00:50:59.000 She'll do a GoFundMe for Timothy McVeigh.

00:51:02.000 But she still is.

00:51:03.000 Just tosses suit over Trump.

00:51:05.000 A fair story after Fox News argues no responsible viewer takes Tucker Carlson seriously.

00:51:11.000 Their defense was that it's basically like parody almost.

00:51:15.000 And that's why it's not news.

00:51:16.000 Tucker Carlson is parody?

00:51:17.000 Yeah.

00:51:18.000 No.

00:51:19.000 Yeah.

00:51:19.000 His lawyer's defense of what they were saying was that.

00:51:23.000 But this is a smart legal defense.

00:51:24.000 This is what they all do.

00:51:25.000 This is what they all do.

00:51:27.000 That's a sneaky move.

00:51:28.000 It's fun.

00:51:29.000 It's the second public time I've heard in a lawsuit that Fox News has admitted they're not news, they're entertainment.

00:51:34.000 Yeah, I think they kind of have to do that like wrestling does. 1.00

00:51:37.000 They have to say they're not really wrestling.

00:51:39.000 I know what you're saying.

00:51:40.000 I know what you're saying.

00:51:40.000 But they choose to.

00:51:41.000 It's a smart move.

00:51:42.000 Yeah.

00:51:42.000 It's a little workaround.

00:51:43.000 Did you see the thing where Tucker Carlson was playing all these videos of Chris Cuomo talking to Michael Cohen, coaching him on what to say when he interviews him?

00:51:55.000 Did not see that.

00:51:56.000 Oh my god.

00:51:57.000 Fox News went... 0.94

00:51:58.000 CNN just ignored the fuck out of it. 0.72

00:52:01.000 They ignored it and pretended it didn't even happen. 0.62

00:52:03.000 Right.

00:52:04.000 And they didn't address it at all.

00:52:05.000 And Fox News played it multiple times over multiple nights.

00:52:09.000 It is clearly Chris Cuomo talking to Michael Cohen and he is coaching him on what to say when he talks to him about the hush payments.

00:52:19.000 Crazy.

00:52:20.000 But it's just like, I don't know why he would even...

00:52:22.000 I don't know why they did that.

00:52:23.000 Well, the Cuomo...

00:52:23.000 I don't like the idea that one of them is a governor and the other one's in the news.

00:52:27.000 I don't love that.

00:52:28.000 I think maybe he was friends with Michael Cohen and he was just trying to help him out as a friend.

00:52:33.000 If you were going to be...

00:52:34.000 Let's just be honest.

00:52:35.000 I'm going to be honest with you folks. 0.99

00:52:37.000 If Tim Dillon was involved in some fucked up shit and I had an interview on my podcast, what do I say? 0.99

00:52:43.000 It was just you and me alone. 0.99

00:52:45.000 I would coach you 100%.

00:52:46.000 I would say this is what you should say.

00:52:49.000 Especially if I was trying to help you.

00:52:51.000 I understand that.

00:52:52.000 If he's friends with that guy, I get it.

00:52:55.000 The problem is...

00:52:57.000 He's a broadcaster on CNN, which is the cable news network.

00:53:03.000 Was.

00:53:04.000 What is it now?

00:53:05.000 It's nothing.

00:53:06.000 I mean, it's nothing.

00:53:08.000 I mean, it's absurd.

00:53:09.000 Chris Cuomo is on there talking about he's got corona.

00:53:12.000 I mean, they're doing like home videos.

00:53:13.000 I'm like, what is not news?

00:53:15.000 Here's another scandal.

00:53:15.000 Yeah, he pretended to have corona?

00:53:17.000 There's a little bit of the pretending to leave his basement.

00:53:20.000 I'm pretty sure he had corona.

00:53:22.000 Well, he said he cured it by chest exercise.

00:53:24.000 I don't buy that.

00:53:25.000 But here's another one. 0.99

00:53:26.000 There's a picture of him sitting at his desk holding a hundred pound dumbbell up in the air and bodybuilders are calling bullshit. 0.98

00:53:35.000 Oh, interesting. 0.97

00:53:36.000 I didn't see that.

00:53:37.000 Also because of the angle that he's holding.

00:53:40.000 Now, Chris Cuomo is, I'm Italian, I can say this, he's a guinea. 1.00

00:53:45.000 A lot of those guineas are stupid strong. 1.00

00:53:48.000 They're monkey strong. 1.00

00:53:49.000 I bet he is.

00:53:50.000 A lot of them.

00:53:51.000 And also very smart.

00:53:52.000 There was a guy that used to run a sandwich shop near our house who could curl his own body weight ten times.

00:53:58.000 And nobody believed him, and this guy barely lifted weights.

00:54:01.000 And he did it before a wrestling meet.

00:54:03.000 He was like a big-time wrestler in Newton South.

00:54:05.000 And he wound up losing the wrestling meet.

00:54:07.000 It was like legend in the town.

00:54:08.000 Because his arms were blown out.

00:54:10.000 Because he made like a hundred bucks on a bet.

00:54:12.000 Showing people.

00:54:12.000 Showing people that he could curl his body weight ten times.

00:54:15.000 I don't know if he was trying to be serious with this.

00:54:17.000 This is... 0.99

00:54:18.000 No, he's fucking serious, bro. 0.99

00:54:23.000 Okay. 0.99

00:54:27.000 This is where we get our news in America.

00:54:28.000 No, there's a photo and he's wearing a t-shirt.

00:54:31.000 This is different.

00:54:33.000 That's real.

00:54:33.000 That's a real weight.

00:54:34.000 Whether or not that weighs 100 pounds, it might weigh 100 pounds.

00:54:38.000 I don't believe that he has a fake 100 pound weight.

00:54:41.000 He's a big person.

00:54:43.000 I think that guy's pretty large.

00:54:45.000 He's a strong dude.

00:54:45.000 I'm sure he's not.

00:54:45.000 I'm sure the weight isn't fake.

00:54:47.000 That's the picture.

00:54:48.000 Here's the thing. 0.99

00:54:49.000 I saw these people that are complaining and saying it's not real and all this shit. 0.99

00:54:57.000 Listen, you can do that. 0.98

00:55:00.000 That can be done. 0.85

00:55:01.000 People who think you can't do that are crazy.

00:55:03.000 He's bigger than me.

00:55:04.000 He's bigger than me, and there's a video of me on Instagram with a 92-pound kettlebell, and I'm cleaning it and pressing it 10 times over my head.

00:55:15.000 That guy's a lot bigger than me.

00:55:17.000 He can hold 100 pounds over his head and do it like that.

00:55:20.000 If I have a 100-pound dumbbell in my arm right now, I could press it.

00:55:25.000 He's bigger than me.

00:55:26.000 He could do it. 0.99

00:55:27.000 Some people are fucking strong. 0.98

00:55:29.000 Yeah, I don't have any problem with doing that. 0.98

00:55:30.000 It's when he does the news.

00:55:31.000 Look at this.

00:55:31.000 Challenge to Chris Cuomo.

00:55:33.000 Prove you're not a liar.

00:55:35.000 Prove you can actually lift that weight you're shown with.

00:55:38.000 See, this guy just wants attention.

00:55:40.000 Because you should know that there's people that are freak strong that could lift that.

00:55:46.000 Frank's Country Store.

00:55:47.000 I'll throw in $1,000.

00:55:48.000 That was the guy's name.

00:55:48.000 Frank's Country Store, Newton.

00:55:51.000 It was in Newton.

00:55:52.000 It wasn't Newton Upper Falls?

00:55:54.000 Somewhere in Newton, Massachusetts.

00:55:56.000 Newton Center.

00:55:56.000 That's such a great Boston story where it's like the guy loses the team, loses the wrestling match.

00:56:01.000 We always talk about him because we'd go buy subs there because we'd walk there from school.

00:56:04.000 We'd buy subs from Frank.

00:56:05.000 That's the guy.

00:56:05.000 He could curl his own body weight 10 times.

00:56:07.000 He was a tank.

00:56:08.000 He's just a legend. 1.00

00:56:09.000 He was just a fucking stacked little guinea. 1.00

00:56:12.000 Right. 0.99

00:56:12.000 Like this 5'7 guy who's like 5'7 wide. 0.99

00:56:15.000 I don't mind people not liking Trump.

00:56:17.000 It's weird when they're like angry.

00:56:20.000 Like I see Chris Cuomo like he's angry.

00:56:21.000 They're angry.

00:56:22.000 But isn't that his job?

00:56:24.000 It shouldn't be.

00:56:25.000 But it's entertainment.

00:56:26.000 Like Tucker Carlson's entertainment, he's entertainment on the other side.

00:56:30.000 But anyway, Tucker Carlson's been ruthless.

00:56:33.000 Say what you love about Tucker Carlson. 0.99

00:56:35.000 That guy is very good at shitting on people and being smug about it. 0.97

00:56:41.000 Also, if you look at a lot of where he stands politically, he's not like a corporate right-wing guy. 0.99

00:56:47.000 I mean, listen, he's wealthy, he's from a rich family, blah, blah, blah.

00:56:49.000 But he actually seems to find a lot of merit in some of the more socialist-type programs.

00:56:57.000 He talks about...

00:56:58.000 He balances his statements out very well.

00:57:00.000 He does balance them out.

00:57:01.000 You'll watch him and you'll go, this guy doesn't seem like some radical lunatic. 0.98

00:57:06.000 But he's in that category where everyone's like, oh, he's a white supremacist. 1.00

00:57:10.000 Oh, he's a racist. 0.99

00:57:11.000 You don't even give him a chance. 0.96

00:57:12.000 But this is how partisan we are, how politically divided we are.

00:57:17.000 When nobody wants to listen to anything that anybody says that doesn't even agree with them at all.

00:57:21.000 Right.

00:57:22.000 Right. 0.99

00:57:22.000 There's a great fucking documentary from a few years back about the 1960s. 0.99

00:57:29.000 And it is, I think it's called Bitter Enemies. 0.98

00:57:34.000 I've talked about it before.

00:57:35.000 It's Gore Vidal versus William F. Buckley.

00:57:39.000 Yeah, Best of Enemies.

00:57:39.000 Best of Enemies.

00:57:40.000 Best of Enemies, yeah.

00:57:42.000 Amazing.

00:57:42.000 Unbelievable.

00:57:43.000 It's so good.

00:57:44.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:57:44.000 And you have this conservative in William F. Buckley, who really seems like a cunt, and you got Gore Vidal, who's like, my version of what a liberal should be. 0.97

00:57:54.000 That's what I like. 0.98

00:57:55.000 Right.

00:57:56.000 An intelligent, open-minded, very well-read, very articulate person.

00:58:01.000 Right.

00:58:01.000 I love that debate.

00:58:03.000 And then when Gore Vidal gets under William F. Buckley's skin, and he says crazy shit to him, and he says like, he says, I'll sock you. 0.99

00:58:12.000 Something real dated. 0.98

00:58:14.000 He calls him a fairy, but it's very dated.

00:58:16.000 Like, you'll stay plastered or something.

00:58:19.000 I'll sock you in your old-timey political cartoon fight.

00:58:24.000 But he was like, obviously he lost his cool, and he lost the debate.

00:58:27.000 Because of that.

00:58:28.000 Now we couldn't have a debate.

00:58:30.000 We'd have to hide the location because there would be riots outside.

00:58:34.000 Yeah.

00:58:34.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:58:35.000 Everybody would hit fire alarms and shut down the thing.

00:58:36.000 Yeah, they'd be shooting fireworks into the debate stage.

00:58:39.000 You can't even have a remotely controversial, non-orthodox opinion anymore.

00:58:44.000 And I hate to say this because I am a left-wing person.

00:58:48.000 Yeah.

00:58:49.000 It is from the left.

00:58:50.000 Right.

00:58:50.000 The left are the people that are doing this.

00:58:53.000 For the most part, it is.

00:58:53.000 The right might mock people on the left, but they're not trying to shut down speech.

00:58:59.000 The right is not...

00:59:00.000 Well, the right...

00:59:02.000 Used to do it.

00:59:03.000 They did it a lot in the 90s.

00:59:05.000 They did it a lot with art.

00:59:06.000 They did it a lot with people that were anti-religion.

00:59:09.000 They did it a lot like the Family Values.

00:59:10.000 All those coalitions used to do it a lot.

00:59:13.000 They used to do it a lot when a cartoon did something they didn't like.

00:59:16.000 Well, the left did that too, though, dude.

00:59:18.000 Tipper Gore was the one who was trying to stop the rap music.

00:59:22.000 That's Al Gore's wife. 1.00

00:59:23.000 100%.

00:59:24.000 But she was kind of an anomaly at that point.

00:59:25.000 A lot of it was coming from the Christian, right?

00:59:27.000 But now all of that has been transferred to the left.

00:59:30.000 Yeah, that's why it's so confusing.

00:59:31.000 Primarily, it's transferred to the left.

00:59:33.000 The left was supposed to be about, like, you know...

00:59:35.000 Yeah, tolerance.

00:59:36.000 Yeah, open-minded views.

00:59:38.000 I remember there was a...

00:59:40.000 I forget the artist's name, but he had a piece called Piss Christ.

00:59:44.000 And it was...

00:59:45.000 Do you remember that?

00:59:46.000 During Giuliani.

00:59:48.000 Yes.

00:59:48.000 I remember it, yeah.

00:59:50.000 It came to Boston, because I remember- It was a crucifix submerged in urine.

00:59:54.000 There is this Andres Serrano. 0.86

00:59:59.000 It's a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass tank filled with piss, with his own piss. 0.99

01:00:06.000 And people were losing their fucking minds that this guy dunked a plastic statue in a bucket of piss. 0.99

01:00:13.000 It was like- Pawning it off. 1.00

01:00:15.000 Yeah.

01:00:15.000 And it was like, there was like Civil War about this.

01:00:17.000 It was like a fucking, it was a real big issue. 0.94

01:00:20.000 And I want to say, I don't look at the date here, but I want to say this is like 87. 85, I think. 0.99

01:00:25.000 85. 85. Yeah.

01:00:28.000 He was probably just like a bad artist.

01:00:30.000 Yeah, this was post high school for me, and I was still trying to figure out what made sense.

01:00:37.000 Yeah.

01:00:38.000 I was like, I was just getting, so 87 means I was 20, which means I was just getting out of the house.

01:00:44.000 I was just getting out of the house when I was 20 and I was living with my friends.

01:00:48.000 And I was kind of a loser who was also a winner.

01:00:52.000 Like, I was a martial arts winner, but I was a loser as far as like, if you looked at me on paper, like, what are you doing with your life, kid? 0.88

01:00:59.000 Like, ugh.

01:01:00.000 It's a problem.

01:01:01.000 Yeah, it was a problem.

01:01:02.000 And I was trying to figure out what made sense and I heard about this and I went to see it.

01:01:06.000 And I also went to see a Yoko Ono art exhibit.

01:01:10.000 One of the Yoko Ono art pieces, Yoko Ono, she had a block of wood with nails in it and there was a box of nails and a hammer and she encouraged people to participate in the art.

01:01:25.000 She wanted you to pick up a nail and knock it into the wood and that was her art. 0.53

01:01:31.000 She's like, I want to encourage participation. 0.86

01:01:33.000 I had a bit about it back then.

01:01:35.000 I was like, if you want to encourage participation, take the nail and Put it in your forehead. 1.00

01:01:41.000 There'll be a fucking line around the block. 1.00

01:01:43.000 There'll be a line of people to get it. 0.99

01:01:44.000 Yeah, this is when I was an open-miker.

01:01:46.000 That was one of my first jokes.

01:01:46.000 Yeah, that's so funny.

01:01:47.000 You look at that and it's so bad, but certain comedy specials will be remembered like that.

01:01:50.000 Oh.

01:01:51.000 Yeah, certain things.

01:01:52.000 Certain comedy specials will be like, oh, that was our nail moment.

01:01:55.000 Yeah, don't try that.

01:01:57.000 We've already figured out the art form.

01:01:59.000 You don't need to reinvent it with no audience.

01:02:00.000 We need to redo it.

01:02:01.000 Yeah, there's no need.

01:02:03.000 Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.

01:02:04.000 Now, everybody's—and this is probably overinflated, all that Spotify stuff.

01:02:09.000 Is this just complete fodder?

01:02:10.000 They have literally said nothing to me about it.

01:02:13.000 Zero.

01:02:13.000 It's never come up.

01:02:14.000 Now, is there someone at Spotify that's complaining about the Abigail Schreier episode?

01:02:18.000 I'm sure.

01:02:19.000 Right.

01:02:19.000 I'm sure there's someone that's complaining about it.

01:02:21.000 Is it a transphobic episode?

01:02:23.000 It's not.

01:02:23.000 They're wrong.

01:02:24.000 They're not.

01:02:25.000 It has nothing to do with that.

01:02:26.000 It has to do with the fact that human beings are actually malleable.

01:02:30.000 We all know that.

01:02:31.000 That's why cults exist.

01:02:33.000 There's a thought process now that if you're talking at all about trans people, you have to be 100% supportive.

01:02:41.000 You can never question whether or not children should be allowed to transition, babies, hormone blockers for prepubescent, Right. 1.00

01:03:06.000 Are there some people that are very happy they transitioned and they're much more happy in the gender of their choice, how they feel, than the gender of their birth?

01:03:15.000 The answer is also yes.

01:03:16.000 Right.

01:03:16.000 Because people, they vary wildly.

01:03:19.000 What Abigail's talking about in her book, Irreversible Damage, is large clusters of kids who are mostly kids that are socially awkward.

01:03:28.000 Many of them are autistic.

01:03:30.000 Many of them have never had any praise at all in their life.

01:03:32.000 And they transition and they get all this praise from people.

01:03:35.000 Right.

01:03:35.000 Because it is, right now, it's in vogue.

01:03:38.000 It's a social contagion amongst that subset of people.

01:03:42.000 And they're at high risk for, they're easily influenced.

01:03:45.000 Yes.

01:03:46.000 That was the problem.

01:03:47.000 The word contagion was one of the things they had an issue with.

01:03:50.000 They called it deeply transphobic.

01:03:52.000 It's not transphobic.

01:03:52.000 Because contagion is also used to talk about diseases.

01:03:56.000 But that's not...

01:03:57.000 It's language.

01:03:58.000 Yeah, it is language.

01:03:59.000 And this is the problem, is that they look at this and they say this is openly transphobic.

01:04:05.000 It is not transphobic.

01:04:06.000 It's not transphobic.

01:04:08.000 No, it's not.

01:04:09.000 I think...

01:04:10.000 There's got to be space for conversation.

01:04:13.000 And I think that a lot of this, you know, rigid, you know, allegiance to, I mean, listen, we all know that trans people are, in many cases, are much happier when they transition and they have better, productive, fulfilling lives.

01:04:26.000 Everybody, I don't think anybody does, like, there are people that don't want that, but they're probably a minority.

01:04:31.000 Right.

01:04:32.000 It's probably a small minority of people. 0.98

01:04:33.000 The spectrum of human beings and their happiness is so fucking broad that to say that all heterosexual people are happy or all homosexual people are happy or all trans people are happy is nonsense. 0.96

01:04:43.000 It's not true. 0.99

01:04:44.000 It's crazy.

01:04:44.000 So when you talk about a particular issue where the uptick...

01:04:48.000 We're good to go.

01:05:09.000 Found ourselves in this terrible place where there's no longer nuance.

01:05:13.000 There's no longer informed discussion.

01:05:16.000 And you have decided that a subject is off bounds or out of boundaries.

01:05:20.000 Now, if people think that I should have trans people on and talk to them about it, I'm happy to do that.

01:05:25.000 But that's not what they're saying.

01:05:26.000 Now, I don't know what the actual conversation has been from Spotify talking to these employees.

01:05:33.000 But if these employees are listening, I would...

01:05:36.000 Tell you emphatically, I am not in any way anti-trans.

01:05:40.000 Not in any way.

01:05:41.000 In any way.

01:05:42.000 I am 100% for people being able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm other people.

01:05:48.000 If you choose to do anything, whatever you want, whatever your personal choice is, I am happy if you're happy.

01:05:55.000 I don't care.

01:05:56.000 I'm 100% open-minded.

01:05:59.000 But if you say that I can't talk about something when a woman... 1.00

01:06:04.000 Right.

01:06:18.000 Look, I had a friend who reached out to me and was saying thank you because my daughter has friends and four of them just decided they're trans together and they're all awkward and I've been trying to tell her that this is probably statistically not even possible, that they would all be trans like this. 1.00

01:06:34.000 There might be something else and then they read this book or they hear about this conversation and without even looking into it they just decided that it's transphobic.

01:06:42.000 It's not transphobic to say that some people will regret transitioning.

01:06:47.000 It's just a part of being a person.

01:06:49.000 People are so malleable.

01:06:52.000 They're so easily influenced.

01:06:54.000 And for us to deny that doesn't do anybody any good.

01:06:57.000 Anybody any service.

01:06:58.000 So this is the main issue they had with that.

01:07:03.000 Apparently, this is the main problem they had was this one particular episode.

01:07:07.000 And I'm sure they've had issues with other episodes as well.

01:07:10.000 But like I said before, I'm talking off the top of my head. 0.99

01:07:14.000 And a lot of times I'm saying shit that I don't even mean. 0.99

01:07:17.000 Because I'm saying it because this is a fucking podcast. 0.99

01:07:19.000 And if you have a problem with people saying terrible shit and you work for Spotify, maybe you should listen to some of the lyrics. 1.00

01:07:25.000 Because some of the lyrics and some of the fucking music that you guys play over and over and over again... 1.00

01:07:30.000 Makes my shit pale in comparison. 1.00

01:07:33.000 Pale! 0.99

01:07:34.000 If you're listening to some rap music right now, and I'm not anti-rap, I love rap music. 0.99

01:07:40.000 Fucking say it all. 0.97

01:07:42.000 Go back and listen to N.W.A. Go back and listen to some of the early shit. 1.00

01:07:47.000 Go back and listen to Ice-T, Cop Killer, When the Body Count Days. 0.99

01:07:51.000 That's wild.

01:07:52.000 A lot of rap is not female forward.

01:07:54.000 Listen, I'm a fan, man. 0.99

01:07:56.000 I fucking love rap music. 0.98

01:07:57.000 I'm a big fan. 0.99

01:07:58.000 Look, I met Willie D from the Ghetto Boys recently when I did gigs in Houston.

01:08:02.000 I was like a little kid in a candy store.

01:08:04.000 I'm a huge Ghetto Boys fan.

01:08:05.000 I love rap music, but...

01:08:08.000 It's a standard.

01:08:09.000 If we're going to apply a standard.

01:08:10.000 It's a type of art. 0.99

01:08:12.000 And talking shit is also a type of art. 0.98

01:08:14.000 You might not like that type of art because it seems too much like a real statement. 0.99

01:08:18.000 And sometimes it is a real statement. 0.99

01:08:19.000 And sometimes it's just talking shit. 0.99

01:08:22.000 And the fun is in deciphering which is which and... 1.00

01:08:25.000 Right. 0.96

01:08:25.000 I mean, half the fucking time you and I are talking, if you took what we say out of quote, which is one of the things they did with the Bernie Sanders thing, they took things and put them in quotes, and some of them were so ridiculous. 0.96

01:08:35.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:08:35.000 But that is what people do when they're trying to discredit someone, and what they're doing is they're not being honest. 0.98

01:08:44.000 It's not an honest take.

01:08:46.000 It's not a real...

01:08:49.000 Honest take on who a human being is.

01:08:50.000 It's a denial of nuance.

01:08:52.000 It's a denial of all the complexities that make a human being. 1.00

01:08:56.000 It's like deciding, like, you said this, and you said Meghan McCain, you know, fuck these tits. 1.00

01:09:03.000 Right. 1.00

01:09:04.000 She fucked her dad. 1.00

01:09:04.000 You're a bad person. 1.00

01:09:05.000 You're a bad person. 1.00

01:09:06.000 I did not mean she had a baby with her dad.

01:09:07.000 It's certainly possible, but I didn't mean it.

01:09:10.000 But that, this is...

01:09:12.000 I get it.

01:09:13.000 If you're a 23-year-old woke kid, and you're working for this company, and you think you're going to put your foot down...

01:09:17.000 Well, isn't it that just in the beginning of tech, everybody that got into tech, it was like nerds, it was woke people, people that are like...

01:09:23.000 Right, but here's... 0.89

01:09:23.000 Listen, me on the outside reading these fucking articles, like, oh my god, Spotify's censoring Rogan, Spotify's doing this... 0.89

01:09:29.000 It's not happening. 0.98

01:09:30.000 Spotify has said nothing.

01:09:34.000 Listen to me.

01:09:35.000 Nothing.

01:09:35.000 They haven't said anything to my manager.

01:09:37.000 They haven't said anything to me.

01:09:39.000 They've said nothing.

01:09:40.000 Right.

01:09:41.000 They've apparently had meetings, but they have a lot of meetings.

01:09:45.000 They have meetings about all sorts of shows.

01:09:47.000 They have meetings about the music they have.

01:09:49.000 They have people that have problems, especially in this day and age.

01:09:53.000 Look, it's a great company.

01:09:54.000 They're open-minded.

01:09:55.000 They treat their employees very well.

01:09:56.000 They let them have discussions about things.

01:09:58.000 And I don't know what these discussions are like.

01:10:00.000 I don't know what happens.

01:10:01.000 Yeah.

01:10:01.000 I really don't.

01:10:02.000 But in terms of like them silencing me, zero.

01:10:06.000 Right.

01:10:06.000 There's been nothing.

01:10:07.000 Right.

01:10:08.000 There's been nothing.

01:10:08.000 Yeah.

01:10:09.000 And then, well, the new thing that was Roe v.

01:10:11.000 Wade, right?

01:10:11.000 With the new Supreme Court justice.

01:10:13.000 Yeah.

01:10:13.000 This is a big deal.

01:10:14.000 It was always interesting to me about abortion.

01:10:16.000 That lady has like 80 kids. 1.00

01:10:16.000 She's got a lot of children. 1.00

01:10:17.000 She wants to just fuck and make babies. 1.00

01:10:19.000 She's a Catholic woman who likes being on her back and God love her and she's a smart judge. 1.00

01:10:23.000 Spread that seed.

01:10:24.000 She loves Christ and her husband.

01:10:27.000 And babies.

01:10:28.000 And she's adopted.

01:10:29.000 Some of them are adopted.

01:10:30.000 Yeah.

01:10:30.000 She brought them in.

01:10:31.000 She flew them in.

01:10:31.000 Listen, that's, you know.

01:10:33.000 God bless her. 1.00

01:10:34.000 Yeah, abortion is a fucking, it's a weird conversation. 1.00

01:10:37.000 It's a weird one. 1.00

01:10:38.000 You know why?

01:10:38.000 Because it's a particularly human subject.

01:10:42.000 Right.

01:10:42.000 Where it's like a messy one.

01:10:44.000 Where like, I am 100% in favor for a woman having a right to choose. 0.67

01:10:48.000 Let's just get that out of the way right away.

01:10:50.000 I'm 100% pro-choice.

01:10:51.000 But when it's like nine months old, what age?

01:10:55.000 Six months?

01:10:57.000 Five months?

01:10:58.000 Yeah, I'm in favor of abortions. 0.81

01:10:59.000 Four months.

01:11:00.000 Up until...

01:11:00.000 18 years old?

01:11:01.000 Up until they start...

01:11:04.000 Attending meetings at Spotify and complaining.

01:11:07.000 That's when I think you should be able to abort your kids. 0.99

01:11:08.000 But anybody who says you are anti-abortion...

01:11:12.000 Yeah.

01:11:13.000 Okay, what if it's two cells?

01:11:15.000 Right.

01:11:15.000 But those are the same people that are against stem cell research.

01:11:18.000 They're against any type of...

01:11:21.000 Contraception in many cases.

01:11:22.000 Maybe not, but let's generalize.

01:11:24.000 No, but they are.

01:11:25.000 A lot of people that are hardcore anti-abortion are like, we shouldn't be doing anything.

01:11:29.000 Condoms are no good.

01:11:31.000 Birth control is no good. 0.99

01:11:32.000 Those people are crazy. 1.00

01:11:33.000 They're crazy. 1.00

01:11:34.000 Those people are crazy. 1.00

01:11:35.000 They're wild. 1.00

01:11:35.000 But also the late-term abortion people are crazy, too. 1.00

01:11:38.000 Those are crazy people, too. 0.99

01:11:39.000 That's a baby. 0.98

01:11:40.000 That is a baby.

01:11:41.000 That baby is alive.

01:11:42.000 If you took it out of the body, it would be alive.

01:11:44.000 That's crazy.

01:11:45.000 That's a weird one, man.

01:11:46.000 It's very strange.

01:11:47.000 But people will take a hard-line ideology party stance.

01:11:52.000 They're like, I am left-wing.

01:11:53.000 I believe in abortion rights no matter what.

01:11:56.000 No matter what.

01:11:56.000 And if you say, up till eight months?

01:11:58.000 What do you think about eight months?

01:11:59.000 Yeah.

01:11:59.000 What do you think about nine months?

01:12:00.000 Can't do that.

01:12:01.000 Can't do that.

01:12:02.000 It's weird.

01:12:02.000 But some people believe in that.

01:12:05.000 Yeah.

01:12:05.000 And it's such a human issue because there's so many things going on there.

01:12:13.000 Roe v.

01:12:13.000 Wade, if it's overturned, goes to the states.

01:12:15.000 Is that really possible?

01:12:17.000 I guess it's- Is that really possible?

01:12:19.000 I mean, it could be, theoretically. 0.99

01:12:21.000 Are you going to make women carry rape babies? 1.00

01:12:22.000 I don't know, but here's what would happen. 0.98

01:12:24.000 I think it would go back to the states, right?

01:12:25.000 So it wouldn't be a ban on abortion.

01:12:27.000 It would just make it a states' rights decision.

01:12:29.000 So there would be abortion in still most American states, which again, I don't agree with.

01:12:33.000 I think it should be available in all 50 states.

01:12:34.000 I think those people want to cut off federal funding, any type of federal funding for- Is it available in every state right now?

01:12:39.000 I believe so, yeah.

01:12:40.000 Federally, it has to be available, right?

01:12:41.000 I believe so, yes, yeah.

01:12:43.000 That is what Roe v. 0.96

01:12:44.000 Wade stands for.

01:12:45.000 Yes.

01:12:45.000 So what happens is if they get rid of that, then states would vote on it and states would decide what the appropriate – they would have to make their laws.

01:12:53.000 See, the problem is what if there's an 18-year-old girl and she – abortion in the United States is legal.

01:12:58.000 73 case.

01:12:59.000 Abortion is legal in all states.

01:13:01.000 Every state has at least one abortion clinic.

01:13:03.000 There you go.

01:13:04.000 Right.

01:13:05.000 But here's the thing. 0.99

01:13:07.000 If you make it the state's rights and a girl just turns 18 and a law comes into place and all abortion gets shut down, she doesn't have any money, and she's fucked. 1.00

01:13:16.000 She's pregnant. 1.00

01:13:17.000 She doesn't know what to do.

01:13:18.000 And also if she's too poor to afford to go to the state where you can get an abortion. 1.00

01:13:22.000 She might never be able to go to it in her state if it's far away.

01:13:25.000 Exactly.

01:13:28.000 It's very tough.

01:13:29.000 It's tough.

01:13:30.000 I mean, it's one of those issues where...

01:13:32.000 I think that we're never going to have everyone on the same page.

01:13:38.000 We just have to realize that.

01:13:39.000 There's issues in America.

01:13:40.000 We're never going to come together 100% on that.

01:13:44.000 Yeah.

01:13:45.000 As long as you still have people with a very kind of religious view of when life begins.

01:13:52.000 Because you can't argue with somebody who says, if life begins the minute that you have conception, then stem cell research, which is very beneficial to people, and abortion.

01:14:03.000 The good news is that stem cell research is advanced to the point where they don't have to do that anymore.

01:14:06.000 Well, the good news is two people, I think, are getting smarter and realizing that they can't legislate things based on a book that was written 2,000 years or whatever.

01:14:13.000 I mean, you hope that that's the case.

01:14:15.000 But now, you know, we have – now they're legislating from, you know – But they're writing the books as we...

01:14:20.000 They're writing the new religions as we speak. 0.99

01:14:21.000 So this lady that Trump wants to nominate... 1.00

01:14:24.000 Amy Coney Barrett.

01:14:26.000 What is her deal?

01:14:27.000 Catholic judge.

01:14:28.000 Only been a judge for three years.

01:14:30.000 Oh my god, that's so crazy.

01:14:32.000 I think she was only on the district court for three years or something.

01:14:35.000 She's... 1.00

01:14:35.000 He likes her. 1.00

01:14:37.000 She's a traditionalist, a Catholic...

01:14:39.000 The anti-abortion people dig her.

01:14:41.000 I mean, although Ann Coulter doesn't think she's conservative enough.

01:14:44.000 So it's like, it's a weird mix out there of like, she's a woman.

01:14:48.000 So it's very tough for people to, well, they are slamming her now. 0.99

01:14:52.000 They're slamming her because she has two black kids, which is pretty disgusting, that she adopted from Africa, which is pretty heinous. 0.99

01:14:58.000 That they're writing all these things about, oh, she's still a racist or... 0.99

01:15:01.000 And it's like you're going at her family.

01:15:03.000 It's so grotesque that they're doing that.

01:15:05.000 Yeah, that's pretty heinous that they're doing that.

01:15:06.000 It's grotesque.

01:15:08.000 She's obviously, if she's got that many kids, she's obviously a person who cares about children.

01:15:14.000 She cares about children.

01:15:15.000 This is what I don't understand.

01:15:16.000 I don't understand why you're trying to make this woman into a monster, but what they're arguing about. 1.00

01:15:20.000 It doesn't help it because they want someone...

01:15:22.000 First of all, they want Biden to win and they want someone to come in that's going to be nominated by a Democrat.

01:15:27.000 My opener has a great joke about that.

01:15:29.000 This guy Dan Carney, he basically says that like...

01:15:31.000 What happened?

01:15:33.000 He basically said, he's like, Biden's getting lowered into the ground a day after the inauguration.

01:15:38.000 He's got three weeks.

01:15:39.000 It's President Kamala.

01:15:40.000 You're voting for Kamala.

01:15:42.000 You really are.

01:15:42.000 So he made a good point there.

01:15:43.000 So it's like Biden's going to spend a few months in the Oval Office, a couple of photo ops, and then Kamala's getting in and you're going to jail.

01:15:51.000 Yeah.

01:15:51.000 He just wants to get it on the books.

01:15:54.000 Yeah.

01:15:54.000 I won.

01:15:55.000 Yeah.

01:15:56.000 I really did it.

01:15:57.000 And then face plant.

01:15:59.000 Done.

01:15:59.000 Yeah.

01:15:59.000 Balanced off the hardwood floors.

01:16:01.000 Kamala's coming in and then- Everybody turn.

01:16:05.000 And then she's going to Yas Queen her way all over and lock everyone up. 1.00

01:16:08.000 And you know what?

01:16:08.000 So what?

01:16:09.000 Maybe we need that.

01:16:10.000 Maybe we all need to go to jail.

01:16:11.000 I'm open.

01:16:12.000 Maybe that's the only way we turn this country around.

01:16:14.000 Maybe I'm open to it.

01:16:15.000 We have to go so far crazy people on the left that we come back to the middle.

01:16:19.000 Maybe everyone's so angry at Trump, it'd be a good time to take the crazy train on the left-hand side. 0.54

01:16:24.000 She might put more people in jail than Trump. 1.00

01:16:26.000 Oh, she would?

01:16:27.000 Yeah.

01:16:27.000 Who she has?

01:16:28.000 Yeah.

01:16:28.000 No, she has.

01:16:29.000 Yeah.

01:16:30.000 Not only that, withholds evidence.

01:16:32.000 Oh, yeah.

01:16:33.000 Shady prosecutor.

01:16:34.000 Oh, kept people in jail after they were supposed to be released to use them as cheap labor for the state to fight wildfires.

01:16:40.000 I've heard one good thing recently is that she's into decriminalizing marijuana. 1.00

01:16:43.000 Woo! 0.99

01:16:44.000 I'm voting for you, baby!

01:16:45.000 There we go.

01:16:46.000 Let's do it.

01:16:47.000 She's coming around.

01:16:48.000 Come on, Kamala. 0.91

01:16:48.000 Come on! 0.91

01:16:49.000 She's coming around.

01:16:51.000 As far as vice presidents, she'll be the hottest. 1.00

01:16:54.000 She'll be into criminalizing tweets. 1.00

01:16:56.000 She's the hottest vice president. 1.00

01:16:57.000 She'll be into criminalizing Facebook statuses. 1.00

01:17:00.000 You think so?

01:17:00.000 Who knows?

01:17:01.000 I get really worried about what could happen with big tech if they just...

01:17:09.000 We're good to go.

01:17:27.000 So the real debate is like, are they public utilities?

01:17:30.000 Are they private companies?

01:17:31.000 I don't know the answer to that.

01:17:32.000 I'm not smart enough to figure out the pros and cons of either. 0.98

01:17:34.000 But I just know that when you have such a small three or four companies, these motherfuckers have more power than Carnegie, Rockefeller, all of the people. 0.97

01:17:42.000 I mean, these people have access to your thoughts. 0.99

01:17:44.000 Look at this.

01:17:45.000 Trump...

01:17:46.000 Judge blocks Trump's administration's ban on new TikTok downloads from US app stores.

01:17:50.000 They tried to do that.

01:17:51.000 Yeah.

01:17:52.000 Overstepped authority with TikTok ban.

01:17:53.000 But the TikTok thing is slightly different because we're not talking about TikTok banning anybody.

01:17:58.000 TikTok will take anybody.

01:18:00.000 They're not banning anybody.

01:18:01.000 Right.

01:18:01.000 What TikTok is doing is they are taking information from you at an astonishing rate.

01:18:08.000 Yes.

01:18:09.000 Like, they had an engineer, a back engineer of the software, and he said, this is the worst violation of privacy features I've ever seen ever in any application.

01:18:18.000 Right.

01:18:18.000 Like, it's maddening.

01:18:19.000 It's crazy.

01:18:20.000 It's following you.

01:18:21.000 But let me ask you a question.

01:18:22.000 If they looked at US companies, aren't they doing...

01:18:24.000 And I'm not saying that China should have our information, but like...

01:18:27.000 Aren't Google and Facebook, aren't they doing the same thing?

01:18:29.000 This is one step up for Apple, and I'm very happy that Apple did this.

01:18:34.000 Apple just stepped up recently, and now Apple is going to make it so that you have to...

01:18:41.000 Pull this up, because I don't want to butcher this, because this is actually pretty important.

01:18:46.000 Facebook is furious about this, because it'll limit the amount of ads.

01:18:52.000 You have to sign off On whether or not they can sell your data.

01:18:56.000 Okay.

01:18:57.000 And Facebook is saying, this is going to cut our money in half.

01:19:00.000 Right.

01:19:01.000 If you give people the option, you say, do you want Facebook to be able to sell your data? 1.00

01:19:05.000 And you're like, fuck yes, sell it! 0.99

01:19:07.000 Right. 1.00

01:19:07.000 Then no one's going to say that. 1.00

01:19:09.000 Right.

01:19:09.000 If you have to click yes or no, they're going to say no.

01:19:11.000 But do we believe them that that's the only way they're getting our data?

01:19:14.000 Look at this.

01:19:15.000 App ad tracking.

01:19:16.000 iOS 14 will give users the option to decline app ad tracking.

01:19:21.000 No, it's not the only way, but this is a big deal.

01:19:23.000 It's a big step.

01:19:24.000 So scroll up, please.

01:19:25.000 A new version of iOS wouldn't be the same without a bunch of security and privacy updates.

01:19:30.000 Apple on Monday announced a ton of new features that bake into iOS 14. Expect it out later this year with the release of new iPhones and iPads that we'll use.

01:19:39.000 It will allow users to share your approximate location with apps instead of your precise location.

01:19:44.000 It will allow apps to take a rough location if you're identifying precisely where you are.

01:19:48.000 Another option users will have is when they give over their location.

01:19:54.000 Oh wait a minute, camera and mic recording.

01:19:57.000 It will also get a camera and microphone recording indicator on the status bar.

01:20:02.000 Oh my god, is that what that light is?

01:20:03.000 Then someone's been recording me all day long. 0.99

01:20:06.000 Shit, this is what I mean. 1.00

01:20:09.000 Dude, they're just recording. 1.00

01:20:10.000 This is what I mean.

01:20:11.000 All day long.

01:20:12.000 Could be. 1.00

01:20:13.000 Motherfuckers. 1.00

01:20:13.000 I'm talking shit about people, too. 1.00

01:20:15.000 Here's like, what's your pops up, I guess. 0.98

01:20:16.000 Um, pal about would like permission to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.

01:20:25.000 Wow.

01:20:27.000 I just think that, yeah, obviously opt out, but I just think it's like data has become what?

01:20:33.000 They say more valuable than oil?

01:20:34.000 I mean, they're going to find a way to harvest that data from you, whether you're consenting or not.

01:20:38.000 I don't know if that's the case.

01:20:39.000 They have up until now.

01:20:40.000 But if Apple can figure out a way...

01:20:43.000 Because it doesn't benefit them if these apps harvest the data.

01:20:47.000 What it benefits them is if the apps give them a piece of the pie when you sign up.

01:20:52.000 And there's some apps that now are requiring subscription on their website.

01:20:57.000 They'll probably just start giving people a better deal on certain things if they share their data.

01:21:02.000 I mean, that will enable people to go, hey, I want to save a few bucks.

01:21:05.000 I don't care if you...

01:21:06.000 100%.

01:21:07.000 That's probably the direction they go in.

01:21:09.000 They're not going to give up these billions and billions of dollars of selling.

01:21:13.000 But it's not whether or not they give up.

01:21:14.000 If Apple cuts them out of it, then everybody has a choice.

01:21:18.000 Either you can get a Google phone, get an Android phone, and then you just give away all your information for free.

01:21:24.000 Or Apple institutes these new privacy laws or privacy features, and you get to decide.

01:21:31.000 Who tracks you?

01:21:32.000 You get to decide whether or not they can use your information and sell it.

01:21:36.000 You get to decide whether or not you get ads sent to you.

01:21:39.000 If Apple does that, it'll commit to them forever.

01:21:43.000 Your data is a commodity that you never really signed off on and you didn't even realize.

01:21:48.000 Look, there's benefits to it, right?

01:21:52.000 Your phone knows how many minutes it takes for you to get home.

01:21:55.000 You just look at your phone and it says, Tim, you'll be home in 22 minutes.

01:21:57.000 It's like, oh, okay, great.

01:21:59.000 But how does it know that?

01:22:00.000 Because it's tracking you.

01:22:02.000 If your phone knows what you like and where you're going or what's on your calendar, there's certain conveniences to it tracking you.

01:22:09.000 Right, and the trade-off for that is that you lose all privacy.

01:22:13.000 Yeah.

01:22:14.000 But the trade-off that's positive is like, say if you go to a website and it recommends you an ad, and the ad is like some things you're into.

01:22:21.000 Right.

01:22:21.000 Like, you know, maybe you've been looking for a nice Yeti Tumblr, and it recommends it.

01:22:25.000 I think all of it ends up being okay if you always trusted the government.

01:22:29.000 If you always trusted the federal government.

01:22:31.000 But it's not the government.

01:22:32.000 This is companies.

01:22:33.000 Yeah, but there's government people that are using that information, 100%.

01:22:37.000 But that is not the real problem.

01:22:39.000 The real problem is companies like Facebook are literally making hundreds of billions of dollars off of your data.

01:22:48.000 And you're like, well, what are you providing?

01:22:51.000 You're providing a way to get addicted?

01:22:53.000 A way that I'm just arguing with my grandma about Trump?

01:22:56.000 They want to keep you on the needle.

01:22:57.000 That's what they want.

01:22:58.000 But...

01:23:00.000 There's an argument to be made that this is a commodity that no one knew was a commodity until it was too late.

01:23:06.000 Right.

01:23:08.000 Yeah.

01:23:08.000 And the cat was ready out of the bag.

01:23:10.000 Yeah.

01:23:10.000 It's too big.

01:23:12.000 It's a big thing.

01:23:13.000 It's a big thing.

01:23:15.000 Yeah.

01:23:15.000 It's a gigantic thing.

01:23:16.000 And if a company comes along like Apple and says, you know what?

01:23:20.000 You shouldn't be allowed to do this.

01:23:22.000 If you want to give away your privacy, you should have a little box you check on every little app that you sign. 0.98

01:23:29.000 And then if that comes along, I will be a fucking loyal Apple customer for life.

01:23:34.000 I just think whether it's the government or whether it's private corporations, the whole fear here is that malevolent forces or bad actors get a hold of this data, right? 0.98

01:23:42.000 They do.

01:23:43.000 And so that is the major problem, whether it's intelligence agencies, whether they're keeping tabs on you for a reason.

01:23:48.000 Snowden uses Signal.

01:23:50.000 Right.

01:23:50.000 Do you know what that is?

01:23:51.000 I don't know what it is.

01:23:52.000 Listen, iOS is far more secure than SMS, right?

01:23:57.000 Right.

01:23:58.000 But iOS, whether it's iMessage, iMessage is more secure than SMS. If you have a Google phone, unless you're using WhatsApp, You're sending a regular text message.

01:24:08.000 What is this?

01:24:08.000 Speak freely.

01:24:09.000 Signal.

01:24:09.000 This is what Snowden recommends.

01:24:12.000 And the thing about it is it's encrypted, you to me, and it doesn't go to a third party.

01:24:19.000 So iOS, if you have an iMessage, it goes to the Apple server.

01:24:25.000 Signal does not.

01:24:26.000 Okay.

01:24:26.000 So Signal is, if you and I are sending messages to each other on Signal.

01:24:30.000 They're not going to the server.

01:24:31.000 Right.

01:24:31.000 And you can set it so that your message self-destructs in two minutes.

01:24:34.000 Wow.

01:24:35.000 Yeah.

01:24:35.000 There's different things you can do, but it's not going somewhere else where someone else can intercept it.

01:24:39.000 Right.

01:24:40.000 It's all encrypted.

01:24:41.000 Right.

01:24:41.000 SMS, which you have if you have an Android phone.

01:24:44.000 I have an Android phone and I have an Apple phone.

01:24:46.000 I just have an iPhone.

01:24:46.000 My iPhone is iMessage, but occasionally like the green text message.

01:24:51.000 Those green text messages, anybody can pick up.

01:24:52.000 Right.

01:24:53.000 And they're also disgusting on the phone. 0.99

01:24:54.000 They look horrible. 0.99

01:24:55.000 They look weird. 0.99

01:24:55.000 It's vomit colored. 0.99

01:24:56.000 They don't look that bad when you have the night mode on.

01:24:59.000 No, they do.

01:24:59.000 I don't mind them.

01:25:00.000 Why do you have an Android?

01:25:01.000 Is it to feel what the poor people feel like?

01:25:03.000 I like to have both operating systems because, look, this doesn't look that bad.

01:25:08.000 Look at that green.

01:25:08.000 Tim Pool has an Android.

01:25:10.000 He sends me Android.

01:25:11.000 I look at that green and I'm reminded of sewage.

01:25:15.000 I'm reminded of golfing.

01:25:16.000 Yeah.

01:25:16.000 Maybe a nice pool table.

01:25:18.000 Green cloth?

01:25:20.000 Yeah.

01:25:20.000 Perhaps.

01:25:21.000 Perhaps.

01:25:22.000 iOS is more secure.

01:25:25.000 It's more secure in that regard.

01:25:26.000 Like iMessage is more secure.

01:25:27.000 The thing about iMessage that's superior, there's a couple things.

01:25:30.000 One, the big one is pictures.

01:25:32.000 If you send me a picture in iMessage, it's a big, high-resolution picture.

01:25:36.000 If you send me a video, it's a nice, high-resolution video.

01:25:39.000 And you can send it to me through AirDrop, and it's in perfect quality. 0.97

01:25:43.000 If you send me a fucking video through a Google phone, it comes out looking like a flip phone from the late 90s. 0.99

01:25:50.000 It's so bad. 0.99

01:25:51.000 I've sent it to people, I'm like, oh my god, I have one of them notes, a Galaxy Note.

01:25:57.000 It's a beautiful phone.

01:25:58.000 It's like, beautiful screen, high resolution, the camera, the video's amazing. 1.00

01:26:02.000 But if I text it to somebody, it looks fucking dog shit. 0.99

01:26:05.000 Supposedly, the Galaxy cameras, like a lot of the Android cameras are better. 1.00

01:26:09.000 Than iPhone cameras.

01:26:09.000 They're not better.

01:26:10.000 Okay.

01:26:11.000 They're just great.

01:26:12.000 They're very good.

01:26:13.000 They're really good.

01:26:13.000 But so is this.

01:26:15.000 Everything's great now.

01:26:16.000 They're all great.

01:26:17.000 Sony makes ridiculously good cameras on their phones.

01:26:20.000 They have an Xperia.

01:26:21.000 I think it's an Xperia 2.1 or 1.2, I think it's called.

01:26:26.000 I forget what it is.

01:26:27.000 But they have amazing video stabilization and their cameras are off the charts. 0.98

01:26:33.000 And if you're a photographer, the Sony ones allow you to get in there and tweak shit. 0.96

01:26:37.000 And so do the Samsung ones. 0.99

01:26:38.000 You can do a lot of tweaking and fucking with the settings. 0.93

01:26:41.000 And Samsung has incredible zoom. 0.95

01:26:44.000 They have this Galaxy S20 Ultra.

01:26:48.000 And it has this crazy zoom on it, man.

01:26:51.000 You can shoot movies on a lot of those.

01:26:53.000 And the iPhones.

01:26:53.000 Amazing.

01:26:54.000 Yeah.

01:26:54.000 And the Galaxy also has a 5,000 milliamp battery, so it's like the battery will last you forever.

01:26:59.000 But you're still sending text messages.

01:27:02.000 They haven't figured out an encrypted version of a messenger.

01:27:07.000 So unless you have friends, you've got to talk them into getting WhatsApp, or you've got to talk them into using Signal.

01:27:13.000 It's like...

01:27:14.000 Yeah.

01:27:19.000 Yeah.

01:27:32.000 They're just not quite there yet.

01:27:34.000 They're not there yet.

01:27:35.000 But I still feel like it's just, you know, it's a system of control that is going to be more and more omnipresent.

01:27:41.000 Here's the other thing I should say.

01:27:43.000 When I have my Samsung phone, my texts are not green.

01:27:47.000 I can make my texts any color I want.

01:27:49.000 Okay.

01:27:50.000 It's totally customizable.

01:27:51.000 Oh, interesting.

01:27:52.000 On my phone, like if you're texting me...

01:27:54.000 Yeah, I've only ever seen the green ones.

01:27:55.000 You've only seen them come to you.

01:27:56.000 Correct.

01:27:57.000 That's because iMessage... 0.99

01:27:59.000 They make you look like shit if you send a green text. 0.99

01:28:03.000 They know people hate it. 0.99

01:28:04.000 They know comics like you have bits about how poor you look. 0.97

01:28:07.000 I mean, it's disgusting.

01:28:09.000 It's weird that Google hasn't figured that out, that Android hasn't figured out a way to make a version of iMessage that works on iMessage.

01:28:18.000 I guess Apple has it locked down.

01:28:21.000 They want it locked down.

01:28:22.000 Yeah.

01:28:22.000 That seems to be what they want.

01:28:23.000 They want you in that walled garden.

01:28:25.000 That seems to be the issue now is that you can't do anything without being in business with some of these companies, whether it's Facebook, YouTube, Google, Amazon.

01:28:34.000 You have those five companies that run tech.

01:28:35.000 You've got to be in business with them if you want anything.

01:28:38.000 You've got to be on the grid.

01:28:40.000 You don't really have too much of an option.

01:28:42.000 And now they're instituting this thing saying, oh, well, you can opt out of the data.

01:28:46.000 But I guarantee they find a workaround with that.

01:28:48.000 They find a workaround.

01:28:49.000 And that's the real issue.

01:28:51.000 And then you start thinking about what kind of...

01:28:52.000 Now, they want to get rid of cars.

01:28:54.000 They want everybody to be in fleets of self-driving cars.

01:28:56.000 This is something that people want.

01:28:58.000 I mean, Gavin Newsom has said, let's phase out cars by 2035. Well, he said phase out gasoline cars.

01:29:03.000 Well, of course.

01:29:03.000 New gasoline cars.

01:29:05.000 But he's a fucking idiot. 1.00

01:29:06.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:29:06.000 The fact that they're doing this in the middle of their education system is falling apart. 1.00

01:29:12.000 These poor kids were getting a terrible education before.

01:29:15.000 Their top priority should be fixing their education system.

01:29:19.000 Instead, how much time are they wasting putting together this thing, this virtue signaling thing where you're trying to make banned cars, new cars that are gasoline cars by 2035?

01:29:30.000 Yeah, their whole argument is now that the fires are here and people realize that it's a problem, blah, blah, blah.

01:29:34.000 That's true.

01:29:35.000 There's a political will.

01:29:36.000 But listen, you've got to fix what you haven't fixed first.

01:29:40.000 Agreed.

01:29:40.000 You know, I mean...

01:29:41.000 Well, the other thing is, you know, they pass a carbon tax in New York City and Ubers started costing a lot more money.

01:29:47.000 A lot of people in New York City used Uber pools to get to work because the subway in New York, which is an old legacy system, doesn't always run efficiently.

01:29:55.000 So people that were going to work in Ubers and especially the Uber pool feature, it was very cheap.

01:30:00.000 They instituted a carbon tax and a congestion tax.

01:30:03.000 All of a sudden, the Uber rates went up.

01:30:04.000 And now people were unable, couldn't afford to get to work.

01:30:07.000 So it's like, yes, you're helping the environment, but you're damning people in that respect.

01:30:11.000 Here's my favorite thing they just passed.

01:30:13.000 They're allowing transgender inmates to go to the prison of the gender they choose. 0.95

01:30:19.000 So violent male sex offenders who decided they're trans can go to women's prisons.

01:30:25.000 That's going to work out well. 0.84

01:30:27.000 There's no way that's going to be bad.

01:30:28.000 No, no one will abuse that.

01:30:31.000 Bridget Phetasy sent me a thread on Twitter where this journalist goes over all of the issues that they've had with people turning trans in Canada and doing this and all the horrible people that have gotten into female prisons.

01:30:47.000 Abusing it.

01:30:48.000 And the difference between female prisons and male prisons is about how much more violent male prisons are. 0.88

01:30:52.000 And how horrific.

01:30:53.000 Aren't female prisons violent? 1.00

01:30:55.000 Barely.

01:30:56.000 Well, that is disappointing.

01:30:58.000 I see some of the women going in there, and I'd like to believe that they're violent. 1.00

01:31:03.000 I think some of them are not violent. 0.99

01:31:06.000 Damn it. 0.99

01:31:07.000 I just want equality, Joe. 1.00

01:31:09.000 Well, equality of violence?

01:31:11.000 Yeah, I just want equality of violence.

01:31:13.000 It's not going to happen. 0.99

01:31:14.000 I want women out there beating the shit out of each other, throwing each other. 1.00

01:31:18.000 It's mostly pillow fights. 0.99

01:31:21.000 Yeah, they're in their underwear. 1.00

01:31:22.000 Are they just talking shit about each other? 1.00

01:31:24.000 They're just waiting for guys to come and fuck them. 1.00

01:31:25.000 Yeah, that's girls' prison. 1.00

01:31:27.000 It's just pillow fights and cattiness.

01:31:29.000 It's all OnlyFans counts.

01:31:34.000 What percentage has OnlyFans grown during the pandemic?

01:31:38.000 Massively. 1.00

01:31:38.000 Well, everyone's become a whore. 1.00

01:31:42.000 I mean, everyone... 0.99

01:31:43.000 People that were one or two steps...

01:31:45.000 I didn't know how many people were one step away from legitimate prostitution. 1.00

01:31:49.000 I have told several of my friends that are better looking than me, be a whore. 1.00

01:31:53.000 Like, do it, because there's no jobs. 1.00

01:31:55.000 Christina Paziski was explaining this to me.

01:31:57.000 Yeah.

01:31:57.000 Her and Tom are moving out here, by the way.

01:31:59.000 Yeah.

01:31:59.000 And they were out here the other day.

01:32:01.000 We went to dinner, and she was telling me that Aaron Carter...

01:32:03.000 Is that his name?

01:32:04.000 Yeah.

01:32:04.000 The singer with the tattoos on his face?

01:32:06.000 He has a little meth thing. 0.97

01:32:07.000 He's got an OnlyFans account, and he jerks off in front of people. 0.98

01:32:11.000 Well, listen... 0.96

01:32:12.000 Makes a lot of money, apparently.

01:32:13.000 Good for him.

01:32:14.000 His career's been not great.

01:32:16.000 She said it in front of my kids, though.

01:32:17.000 She's like, J and his D. That's what she said in front of my kids. 0.75

01:32:20.000 So he's J and his D. Yeah, on OnlyFans.

01:32:23.000 And I'm like, well, no one knows what that means.

01:32:24.000 Well, there...

01:32:25.000 I mean...

01:32:27.000 It's one of the only jobs left.

01:32:29.000 My 12-year-old's eyes are lighting up.

01:32:31.000 Listen, you're either a cam girl or you're instigating a race war. 0.99

01:32:36.000 Those are the jobs.

01:32:37.000 Those are your two jobs in America.

01:32:39.000 There it is. 0.98

01:32:41.000 Oh, Aaron Carter is now doing porn. 0.98

01:32:43.000 Former child pop star, recently joined Cam Soda. 1.00

01:32:46.000 Oh, same shit. 1.00

01:32:47.000 So he was a former child pop star. 1.00

01:32:51.000 Well, they're real new.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, Aaron...

01:32:53.000 I mean, these face tattoos.

01:32:54.000 I mean, you see everybody in LA with them.

01:32:55.000 A lot of these young kids have them.

01:32:57.000 Yeah, a lot.

01:32:57.000 Well, not everyone, but a lot of these kids in LA have them, and they just...

01:33:01.000 Okay, so you had an OnlyFans.

01:33:04.000 His brother was in the Backstreet Boys.

01:33:06.000 Can you not do porn on OnlyFans?

01:33:07.000 You can do whatever you want, really, but most people use it for...

01:33:10.000 27 bucks a month.

01:33:11.000 Look at him holding his pecker.

01:33:13.000 People get on OnlyFans because they want a reasoned discourse.

01:33:17.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:33:17.000 What is this?

01:33:17.000 72 bucks?

01:33:18.000 Oh, for three months.

01:33:19.000 What is the most a gal can charge? 1.00

01:33:22.000 You can get a lot, and I've seen people then explaining how this whole system works for them.

01:33:28.000 It's not pyramid scheme, but if I got you guys to both sign up for a certain amount of time, I'd get shares of your money, too.

01:33:34.000 What?

01:33:35.000 It's like incentives for growing.

01:33:36.000 Really?

01:33:37.000 It's a pyramid scheme.

01:33:37.000 So he got a bunch of his other buddies to J their Ds in front of people.

01:33:41.000 That's what pimps used to say to hookers. 1.00

01:33:44.000 They'd be like, find a few of your friends.

01:33:46.000 This is Ghislaine Maxwell.

01:33:47.000 There's no difference.

01:33:48.000 He's got 122 posts to look at if you feel excited enough.

01:33:50.000 Wow, how many fans does he have?

01:33:52.000 It doesn't tell you that part, I guess.

01:33:53.000 Oh, he's private.

01:33:56.000 Keeps it private.

01:33:57.000 Not safe for work content.

01:33:58.000 1,200.

01:33:59.000 1,200, that's it?

01:34:01.000 I don't know if this is better than doing Cameo.

01:34:03.000 Okay, well let's think.

01:34:04.000 It's not.

01:34:05.000 Cameo is horrible. 0.64

01:34:05.000 So he's basically making somewhere in the neighborhood of $30,000 a month. 0.64

01:34:09.000 Jay and his D. Sure.

01:34:12.000 $1,200?

01:34:12.000 $2.27?

01:34:14.000 That is not bad.

01:34:15.000 It's not that bad.

01:34:15.000 It's not bad.

01:34:16.000 It's better than working.

01:34:18.000 Listen, if he had to work a job, but he had that thing on his face, and people are like, you're the guy who jays his D for 27 a month.

01:34:26.000 They get mad.

01:34:27.000 Go back to doing that. 1.00

01:34:28.000 Hey, shut up. 1.00

01:34:29.000 I'm just trying to work. 0.98

01:34:30.000 But it's amazing how that, during the pandemic, because everyone's home, nobody's doing anything. 0.97

01:34:34.000 I guess everybody's just jerking off. 0.99

01:34:35.000 He also sings and plays guitar in the nude. 1.00

01:34:37.000 Oh, nice.

01:34:39.000 Dancing, fan Q&As, other sultry activities that you'd expect.

01:34:42.000 I love that he's playing guitar in the nude.

01:34:43.000 He's still trying to hold on to it.

01:34:45.000 You know what I mean?

01:34:46.000 He's like, I got a new song.

01:34:47.000 And everyone's like, buddy. 1.00

01:34:49.000 Let me see your asshole. 1.00

01:34:50.000 That's not what this is. 1.00

01:34:51.000 Spread your cheeks. 0.52

01:34:52.000 He's like, I wrote this about...

01:34:54.000 Yeah, no one cares. 1.00

01:34:55.000 Can you fit the neck in your asshole, please? 1.00

01:34:57.000 I paid money. 1.00

01:34:58.000 I paid American money for this.

01:35:00.000 Yeah, it'd be very disappointing to pay for his OnlyFans.

01:35:02.000 And then he's strumming a guitar.

01:35:04.000 Maybe the music's really good.

01:35:05.000 It's not.

01:35:06.000 How do you know?

01:35:07.000 I'm guessing it's not, Joe.

01:35:09.000 He throws a fit in court after ordered to forfeit guns.

01:35:13.000 500 of them he was forced to.

01:35:14.000 Oh my god!

01:35:15.000 A result of his sister, what does it say?

01:35:17.000 Scroll back up.

01:35:18.000 Sister winning a restraining order case.

01:35:20.000 Oh, well that's not good. 1.00

01:35:21.000 He's threatening his fucking sister. 1.00

01:35:22.000 A lot of these people that get famous very young, it's a rough road. 1.00

01:35:26.000 It is unmanageable.

01:35:28.000 Yeah.

01:35:29.000 I don't know anybody who's managed it.

01:35:31.000 Miley Cyrus was on the podcast a couple weeks ago, and I told her, I said, you've done it about as good as you could do it.

01:35:37.000 She's got a lot of barriers up, though.

01:35:40.000 You can tell.

01:35:42.000 She's been through it.

01:35:44.000 You can't get that famous that young.

01:35:46.000 She's 12 years old playing arenas. 1.00

01:35:48.000 How the fuck? 1.00

01:35:49.000 It's crazy. 1.00

01:35:50.000 Yeah, man.

01:35:51.000 I mean, I just...

01:35:53.000 And it was funny, her talking about it on the show, that was it her mom or her grandma was saying, well, it's better than her being in LA doing drugs.

01:36:02.000 Like, what?

01:36:03.000 Why is that the choice?

01:36:05.000 Or better than being back home doing drugs.

01:36:08.000 Well, I guess they felt like this is her ticket out of the life, but it was never going to be her life.

01:36:12.000 Her dad was a famous country music star.

01:36:14.000 Her voice is so harsh.

01:36:16.000 She's got a great, she's a phenomenal talent. 0.99

01:36:19.000 Oh, my God.

01:36:19.000 She's amazing.

01:36:20.000 I mean, her talking voice is so harsh.

01:36:22.000 Yeah.

01:36:23.000 It sounds like mine a little.

01:36:24.000 It's rougher.

01:36:25.000 Wow.

01:36:26.000 Oh, yeah.

01:36:26.000 No.

01:36:27.000 Yes.

01:36:27.000 Than mine?

01:36:28.000 You want to play it?

01:36:28.000 Let's play some of it.

01:36:29.000 Play some of her voice.

01:36:30.000 Play some of it.

01:36:31.000 Listen, and by the way, I should say this.

01:36:32.000 I'm not knocking her.

01:36:33.000 I'm a fan.

01:36:33.000 She's great.

01:36:34.000 And people are like, oh, Spotify, man, you put Miley Cyrus on! 0.98

01:36:37.000 No, I fucking love Miley Cyrus. 0.97

01:36:39.000 Right. 0.99

01:36:40.000 I really do.

01:36:40.000 I'm a giant...

01:36:41.000 You look up exactly what it stands for.

01:36:42.000 Oh my Jesus Christ.

01:36:43.000 I don't remember this.

01:36:44.000 That's it.

01:36:44.000 She's a 45-year-old waitress in Florida.

01:36:46.000 It's kind of like an x-ray, and it kind of shows you almost like in those thermal-type colors of the activity of your brain.

01:36:51.000 There we go.

01:36:52.000 Wow.

01:36:53.000 She had operation on her throat.

01:36:56.000 Can she still sing?

01:36:57.000 Was it polyps?

01:36:58.000 Oh, yeah.

01:36:59.000 Like an angel. 0.97

01:36:59.000 She can still kill, right? 0.97

01:37:00.000 Like an angel. 0.99

01:37:00.000 Yeah, great. 0.99

01:37:01.000 Well, that's good.

01:37:01.000 Dude, I listened to her music before.

01:37:03.000 I told her this.

01:37:04.000 I showed her an image of me before I filmed my Netflix special.

01:37:08.000 I was listening to her song, Malibu, and dancing around backstage.

01:37:12.000 Wow.

01:37:12.000 Gets my mind off of comedy.

01:37:13.000 Yeah, what are you going to do?

01:37:14.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:37:15.000 I'm just trying to lose myself in it.

01:37:16.000 And I've been a big fan of hers for a long time.

01:37:18.000 I think she's... 0.99

01:37:19.000 Fucking super talented, man. 0.98

01:37:21.000 Her voice is beautiful. 0.99

01:37:22.000 Yeah.

01:37:23.000 You ever heard her cover of Jolene?

01:37:26.000 It's amazing. 1.00

01:37:26.000 Fuck, man. 1.00

01:37:27.000 It's great. 1.00

01:37:28.000 It's so good, man.

01:37:29.000 It's so good.

01:37:30.000 Let's hope she's not on OnlyFans in two years. 1.00

01:37:32.000 Vocal cord surgery will require weeks of silence to recover.

01:37:35.000 And this was in 2019. Yeah.

01:37:38.000 All we need Trump to do is like, I was going to say have vocal cord surgery, but his biggest thing is Twitter, so it doesn't matter.

01:37:45.000 You can't.

01:37:45.000 I mean, you couldn't.

01:37:47.000 That's what's great about Donald Trump.

01:37:48.000 He could lose his voice.

01:37:49.000 And it wouldn't matter.

01:37:50.000 He could still inflame people with just his fingers.

01:37:54.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:37:54.000 You have to cut his hands off. 0.99

01:37:55.000 It would maybe even be better if he had one of those Joe Biden. 0.61

01:38:00.000 The debate is tomorrow night. 0.98

01:38:01.000 That's so ridiculous. 0.99

01:38:02.000 It's crazy! 0.99

01:38:03.000 Are you going to be here?

01:38:04.000 You're doing a show.

01:38:05.000 I'm doing a show in San Antonio tomorrow night.

01:38:07.000 There's a few tickets left, but I just added it because I said I just want to do a show while I'm here and everything in Austin is RIP Cap City.

01:38:14.000 Grey Club is not open.

01:38:15.000 I'm hoping we can bring it back.

01:38:17.000 Wow.

01:38:17.000 I'm going to open up a club here.

01:38:20.000 I hope you do, yeah.

01:38:21.000 I'm just in the middle of a lot of things.

01:38:23.000 I'm in the middle of a lot of things.

01:38:24.000 I'm working on a lot of stuff.

01:38:25.000 I've got a lot of things happening.

01:38:27.000 But that will be one of the things that I'm going to work on.

01:38:29.000 That would be great.

01:38:30.000 I mean, none of us know when the store is opening.

01:38:31.000 Nobody knows anything about anything in L.A. My concern is I don't want, there's a bunch of things.

01:38:36.000 I don't want anybody getting sick.

01:38:37.000 Of course.

01:38:38.000 I want to be able to do it where, you know, the people who work there, waitstaff and folks can be safe and can make a living.

01:38:45.000 There have been talks about promising vaccines that are, they're showing promise.

01:38:51.000 There's four in trial.

01:38:52.000 Yeah.

01:38:52.000 Moderna, AstraZeneca.

01:38:54.000 Johnson& Johnson, is that one of them?

01:38:56.000 I believe that's one of them.

01:38:57.000 And then Pfizer.

01:38:59.000 There's a few that are...

01:39:00.000 And I spoke to a doctor who said they all seem...

01:39:02.000 Their safety ratings are good, but their effectiveness is...

01:39:04.000 That's what's going to be debatable.

01:39:05.000 But he did say it's better to have safe vaccines.

01:39:08.000 It may not work as well because you could always get other ones instead of ones that have all these other problems.

01:39:12.000 Oh, Jesus, Jamie.

01:39:14.000 Vaccine trial stopped after neurological Simpson detective.

01:39:18.000 Listen, I'm glad he's telling us the truth. 0.99

01:39:19.000 Can you go back to Iron Carter's dick? 0.99

01:39:21.000 We're trying to be positive. 0.99

01:39:23.000 Jesus!

01:39:24.000 A drug maker says it halted a coronavirus vaccine study because a woman who received the experimental shot developed severe neurological symptoms.

01:39:31.000 Jesus!

01:39:32.000 Alright, no vaccines.

01:39:33.000 Sorry.

01:39:34.000 Here's the thing.

01:39:35.000 If it's a trial...

01:39:35.000 I don't want the vaccine.

01:39:36.000 I'd let everyone else get it.

01:39:38.000 There's only one person that gets that out of a hundred people that are on the trial.

01:39:41.000 You gotta do it. 1.00

01:39:42.000 When you ramp that shit up to millions, though, you got thousands and thousands of people that are fucked. 1.00

01:39:47.000 The way I feel about it is I would like everyone else to get it. 1.00

01:39:51.000 The vaccine.

01:39:52.000 Because when everyone says we need a vaccine, no one's thinking about getting it themselves.

01:39:55.000 My manager, her dad got the Lyme disease vaccine back in the Dizay, and it gave him Lyme disease.

01:40:03.000 Jeez.

01:40:04.000 Yeah, they stopped doing it.

01:40:05.000 They stopped doing it. 0.98

01:40:06.000 I think they deny that it gave people Lyme disease, but he got fucked up from this vaccine. 0.92

01:40:12.000 Yeah, interesting. 0.96

01:40:13.000 No, it's actually a coincidence.

01:40:14.000 You actually got Lyme disease right before we gave you the vaccine.

01:40:19.000 Sorry.

01:40:20.000 We didn't mean it.

01:40:21.000 Really sorry.

01:40:22.000 Vaccines are creepy.

01:40:23.000 I've never gotten a flu vaccine.

01:40:24.000 I've never gotten the flu.

01:40:25.000 I wanted to ask you this.

01:40:26.000 I'm glad we brought this up.

01:40:27.000 Robert Kennedy Jr. Yeah.

01:40:30.000 Crazy? 0.92

01:40:32.000 Legit? 0.98

01:40:32.000 Anti-vaxxer? 0.98

01:40:34.000 Pro-vaxxer?

01:40:35.000 I would take what he says and literally think about it.

01:40:39.000 I've heard him speak.

01:40:40.000 I mean, he has that disease with his voice.

01:40:41.000 What's his voice, Alan?

01:40:42.000 I don't know, but there's some very rare disease he has, I believe, with his voice.

01:40:46.000 He just doesn't like vaccines.

01:40:48.000 I mean, listen, there's a lot of credible people That not saying all vaccines are bad, but saying that there are real problems with certain vaccines and the amount of vaccines that kids are getting.

01:41:04.000 They're getting a lot of vaccines in a very short period of time.

01:41:06.000 So he was on Mike Tyson recently.

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:08.000 Let's listen to him.

01:41:10.000 You know, my grandfather and grandmother were, Joseph Kennedy and Rose Kennedy were major figures in my life. 0.99

01:41:17.000 Imagine you're on Mike Tyson's hotbox and you're high as fuck and you're talking to this guy like this. 0.98

01:41:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:41:23.000 So that's how he talks?

01:41:24.000 Is that Chris Delita, right?

01:41:26.000 Right.

01:41:28.000 Chris Elias found a job.

01:41:31.000 Isn't it interesting that he's doing Mike Tyson's show?

01:41:34.000 I watched this stuff.

01:41:35.000 At the end of it, he says he's not an anti-vaxxer.

01:41:37.000 No, I don't think he is.

01:41:39.000 I think people are doing that.

01:41:40.000 I read that and thought it too.

01:41:42.000 The thing about vaccines is like the thing about all medication and basically everything.

01:41:46.000 Right.

01:41:47.000 There's a certain number of people.

01:41:48.000 If you make things mandatory, like if you make everyone have to take a vaccine, think about there's 300-whatever-million people, and most of them have been vaccinated.

01:41:57.000 You're going to have a lot of people that have problems.

01:41:59.000 Right.

01:42:00.000 That's just a sheer numbers issue.

01:42:02.000 Yeah, it's just going to be a big issue.

01:42:03.000 And if you look at the vaccine court, like how many settlements – and by the way, I should say right away, I'm pro-vaccine.

01:42:09.000 I've been vaccinated.

01:42:11.000 My kid's been vaccinated.

01:42:12.000 Right.

01:42:12.000 But I know people who have had problems.

01:42:15.000 And I know people whose children have been vaccinated who said that immediately Ron Funches was talking about it.

01:42:20.000 And he's like, I don't know if that's what caused it.

01:42:22.000 But right away, my kid shut down.

01:42:25.000 And we noticed it.

01:42:26.000 It was instant.

01:42:28.000 And we thought he would come back.

01:42:29.000 And he never came back.

01:42:30.000 He was different before.

01:42:31.000 And he's not the only one that I've talked to.

01:42:33.000 There's a lot of concerns about things like that happening.

01:42:36.000 But they don't know if this was something that was inevitably going to happen or if the vaccines were a catalyst.

01:42:43.000 But vaccine courts have paid out money to a large number of people.

01:42:48.000 Does that mean vaccines are bad?

01:42:50.000 No, vaccines are the reason why most people are living. 0.99

01:42:53.000 Yeah, the reason why we haven't died from fucking smallpox and syphilis and all the other diseases. 0.99

01:42:58.000 Syphilis? 0.99

01:42:59.000 They have a vaccine for syphilis?

01:43:00.000 I don't know if they have a syphilis vaccine.

01:43:01.000 I think that $4.2 billion has been awarded as of October 2019. Wow.

01:43:08.000 It's just one of those things I think where...

01:43:10.000 That's from vaccines.

01:43:11.000 Vaccine court.

01:43:12.000 People know so little about it and people are very uncomfortable because a lot of the...

01:43:17.000 Scroll up and see what that means.

01:43:18.000 No, you're right.

01:43:20.000 Well, it's scary.

01:43:21.000 I was breaking it down by ear.

01:43:22.000 That was just so I could get you the biggest number overall.

01:43:25.000 This is just the Wikipedia for...

01:43:27.000 For vaccine compensation.

01:43:29.000 National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

01:43:32.000 That's what he was talking about, which is what he got into.

01:43:34.000 He's still a lawyer and he's fighting this fight.

01:43:38.000 This is the thing. 0.99

01:43:40.000 It's not that we shouldn't vaccinate because if we didn't vaccinate all these fucking kids that are getting the mumps now and measles and all these different serious diseases that can really fuck people up. 0.99

01:43:52.000 They're coming back. 0.99

01:43:53.000 They're coming back because people don't want to vaccinate their kids.

01:43:55.000 Right. 0.99

01:43:57.000 It's fucking complicated, man. 0.99

01:43:59.000 Like most things that involve people, they're very complicated. 0.99

01:44:01.000 Right.

01:44:02.000 Yeah, but I think that a lot of people are, you know, because with coronavirus, they are just skeptical because the whole thing has been just handled poorly and nobody knows what's going on and the information is so bad and nobody trusts anybody anymore.

01:44:14.000 The idea that you're just going to show up to CVS and somebody's going to just shoot you in the arm with this synthetic coronavirus, people don't.

01:44:20.000 People are kind of, that's scary.

01:44:21.000 It's not even a synthetic coronavirus.

01:44:23.000 Whatever the hell it is.

01:44:24.000 I don't know what it is.

01:44:24.000 They're called mRNA vaccines.

01:44:30.000 It's a vaccine that stimulates the production of certain proteins that will fight off the coronavirus.

01:44:39.000 Okay.

01:44:40.000 So it's not like you're getting an inert version of the virus like every other vaccine. 0.99

01:44:45.000 So, okay, well, now we got a whole new fucking thing. 0.98

01:44:48.000 Now it's a whole other problem. 0.99

01:44:49.000 It's a whole new one.

01:44:50.000 This is a new thing.

01:44:51.000 Well, people just are uncomfortable with all information being disseminated right now.

01:44:59.000 It's just, you know, up for debate.

01:45:01.000 You have people that are screaming at each other going, this is the thing.

01:45:03.000 I read an article the other day that said vaccines are on their way.

01:45:06.000 The next article said there'll never be a vaccine.

01:45:07.000 I don't know what to think.

01:45:09.000 I'm reasonably intelligent and I don't know what to think.

01:45:11.000 A lot of this country is not reasonably intelligent.

01:45:14.000 So they don't necessarily, like, I don't blame them for being skeptical and being a little scared and going, you know what? 0.98

01:45:21.000 I'll take my chances out there instead of getting a shot in the arm in a Walgreens They vaccinate you in like a shitty pharmacy.

01:45:31.000 You're buying like eggs and you get a shot and they say good luck. 0.89

01:45:35.000 And who's doing it?

01:45:36.000 Somebody making minimum wage who has no idea what they're doing?

01:45:39.000 Yeah.

01:45:40.000 Yeah, it's a little terrifying.

01:45:42.000 Yeah.

01:45:42.000 I'll take my chances.

01:45:46.000 Take my chance with coronavirus.

01:45:48.000 The next part, which I've heard, not to get conspiracy on this part, but I've heard the word nano getting added to RNA and vaccine stuff.

01:45:56.000 Oh, the nano chips!

01:45:58.000 That's a problem.

01:45:59.000 Bill Gates!

01:46:00.000 Bill Gates!

01:46:01.000 He's inaccurate, but I don't know what's accurate or what's not accurate.

01:46:05.000 Boy, nobody took a bigger hit during this coronavirus lockdown than Bill Gates.

01:46:09.000 He became a villain.

01:46:11.000 I don't think he's a villain, but I also think that...

01:46:13.000 Listen, we're living in a time now of Batman-era...

01:46:17.000 We're like, these guys have billions and billions and trillions of dollars.

01:46:21.000 I don't think he's a villain.

01:46:22.000 I'm not saying he's a villain.

01:46:23.000 I don't think he's a villain at all.

01:46:24.000 I'm not saying he's a villain. 0.99

01:46:25.000 Listen, but here's what's fucked. 0.85

01:46:26.000 Bill Gates has done more for humanity than most rich people would ever imagine doing. 0.92

01:46:32.000 That guy's built schools and wells and helped people get educated.

01:46:35.000 Sure.

01:46:36.000 Look, him and his wife, the Gates Foundation, they've done a tremendous amount of positive work.

01:46:43.000 But what I'm saying is...

01:46:45.000 They have.

01:46:45.000 But he's wading into the controversial waters of the vaccine.

01:46:47.000 Listen.

01:46:48.000 But what I'm saying is that during this pandemic, he's become a villain for the first time ever in his 70s.

01:46:54.000 Only because he wants to deliver people the mark of the beast.

01:46:58.000 That's all.

01:46:58.000 That's the only reason people are upset with him is because he wants to deliver people the mark of the beast.

01:47:02.000 And damn them forever now. 0.99

01:47:04.000 But listen, when he goes, listen. 0.99

01:47:07.000 You got to expect a certain amount of discussion when you are the guy inserting yourself into this very kind of volatile debate about public health and you're telling people they need to be vaccinated to travel and these are the standards that you want people to adapt. 0.99

01:47:28.000 Listen, man, he could have just been a billionaire that swam in his fucking pool. 0.96

01:47:31.000 Why do you think he talked about that, like telling people that they need to be vaccinated? 0.99

01:47:36.000 I guess if you give him the benefit of the doubt, he wants to help people, I guess.

01:47:40.000 Let's not give him the benefit of the doubt.

01:47:42.000 Okay, if we don't give him the benefit of the doubt, we'll say that he wants the world to look exactly like he thinks there's necessary and unnecessary things.

01:47:50.000 He thinks that he should be in charge of people's health, public health, or that he thinks that a group of scientists or him and his foundation should be in charge of public health.

01:48:01.000 His foundation?

01:48:02.000 Really?

01:48:02.000 No, I mean, listen, there's also billions and trillions of dollars to be made off some of these vaccines.

01:48:07.000 Is he making money off vaccines?

01:48:09.000 I don't know what he's doing, but I'm telling you.

01:48:10.000 He has so much money.

01:48:11.000 Why does he need more money?

01:48:12.000 Why does anyone need more money?

01:48:13.000 I don't think he's doing it for money.

01:48:14.000 I'm not saying he's an evil guy.

01:48:15.000 I'm saying that we cannot write a blank check to anybody.

01:48:18.000 I feel like you're saying he's an evil guy.

01:48:20.000 We cannot write a blank check to anybody.

01:48:22.000 We can't write a blank check, Joe, to anyone.

01:48:26.000 Look at him.

01:48:27.000 That's in 2015. That's when he planned it.

01:48:30.000 Listen, I don't trust anybody who wears an outfit. 1.00

01:48:32.000 This fucking sweater with the t-shirt underneath it. 0.99

01:48:34.000 Can I just say this and I'm being totally serious? 1.00

01:48:36.000 The button shirt underneath it.

01:48:37.000 Him and Dr. Fauci created AIDS. That's all I'll say.

01:48:44.000 That's all I'm going to say.

01:48:45.000 But why? 1.00

01:48:46.000 You know, people fuck around. 0.99

01:48:50.000 Just for fun? 0.99

01:48:50.000 And they created AIDS, so that's the only reason I'm a little skeptical. 0.99

01:48:53.000 No, but in all seriousness, our society shouldn't be structured where one guy stands at.

01:48:58.000 Because, by the way, in order to travel and go places and open your businesses, here's what you need to do.

01:49:02.000 And we talked about that in the beginning of the show, about the government doing it.

01:49:05.000 Why is it better if a private billionaire is doing it?

01:49:07.000 But here's the thing.

01:49:08.000 Why are we listening to him talk about public health issues?

01:49:12.000 Yeah, it's a great question.

01:49:13.000 He's the guy who founded Microsoft.

01:49:15.000 Phenomenal question.

01:49:16.000 That's a great question.

01:49:17.000 Is it just because he's rich?

01:49:18.000 He has an interest in it.

01:49:20.000 What if I stepped up and started telling everyone, it's time to get vaccinated.

01:49:24.000 Everyone's got to get vaccinated.

01:49:25.000 People would be like, hey, hey, hey.

01:49:26.000 Relax. 1.00

01:49:27.000 You're a fucking comedian and a cage fighting commentator. 1.00

01:49:29.000 Why are you telling everybody to get vaccinated? 1.00

01:49:31.000 That's why I don't tell people to vote.

01:49:33.000 Why is he doing it?

01:49:34.000 Well, that's why people are a little suspicious.

01:49:37.000 He's stepping out of his lane.

01:49:38.000 Plus that sweater with the shirt on me.

01:49:40.000 The sweater, the creating of AIDS, the mark of the beast, all of it's a problem.

01:49:44.000 There was a great...

01:49:45.000 Somebody made a great meme.

01:49:45.000 He wanted to shoot, and I've said this before in the show, he wanted to shoot a missile of dust in the sun to help climate change.

01:49:49.000 I heard about that. 1.00

01:49:50.000 When you have the capability to do that type of shit, someone's got to check. 0.99

01:49:55.000 No one's checking him. 0.99

01:49:56.000 You know why I don't trust him?

01:49:57.000 No one checks Bill Gates.

01:49:58.000 You know why I don't trust him?

01:49:59.000 Why? 1.00

01:49:59.000 Because he talks shit about Tesla. 1.00

01:50:01.000 Oh, did he? 1.00

01:50:02.000 Yeah.

01:50:02.000 Interesting.

01:50:04.000 And him and Warren Buffett, that other fraud, Warren Buffett's like, oh, I live in my little house I've always lived in, and I drink Cokes.

01:50:10.000 He does.

01:50:11.000 He's a trillionaire.

01:50:12.000 He's a cold-blooded trillionaire.

01:50:13.000 God love him.

01:50:14.000 But stop with the act.

01:50:15.000 He lives in the little house.

01:50:15.000 Stop with that's an act.

01:50:17.000 He has a military base under the house. 1.00

01:50:19.000 Stop with this fucking act. 1.00

01:50:21.000 I eat Dairy Queen and all this horse shit. 1.00

01:50:24.000 You've got $80 billion. 1.00

01:50:27.000 Can you stop with the horse shit? 1.00

01:50:29.000 He lives in a small house and he drinks Coca-Cola. 1.00

01:50:31.000 I'm sure.

01:50:31.000 It's not that small.

01:50:33.000 It's small for a guy who's worth $80 billion.

01:50:35.000 But those are the guys you gotta watch.

01:50:38.000 I want my billionaires in palaces like Donny T. That's a nice little house.

01:50:42.000 I want my billionaires living like Trump in a gold apartment. 1.00

01:50:45.000 Well, listen, he's a cheap fuck. 1.00

01:50:46.000 He likes to keep the same house. 1.00

01:50:47.000 I know.

01:50:48.000 What about that?

01:50:49.000 Go there.

01:50:49.000 A sneak peek.

01:50:50.000 Go down, Jamie.

01:50:50.000 To the left.

01:50:51.000 Yeah, it's a beautiful little house.

01:50:51.000 A sneak peek.

01:50:52.000 What is that?

01:50:52.000 A sneak peek into Warren Buffett's what?

01:50:54.000 His other house. 1.00

01:50:55.000 Hey, he's got other houses, this motherfucker. 1.00

01:50:58.000 Whatever. 1.00

01:50:58.000 How many houses you got, Warren? 1.00

01:51:01.000 But him and Gates are such good friends because they're both doing this thing where they're like, we're just little old men.

01:51:07.000 I'm just saying everybody's got to get watched.

01:51:10.000 I understand.

01:51:11.000 Everybody's got to be watched by me.

01:51:13.000 I think you should think that people are watching when you open your trap and tell everybody they've got to get vaccinated.

01:51:19.000 People are not predisposed to trusting billionaires delivering them edicts.

01:51:24.000 I don't want an edict from anybody, from the government, from a billionaire.

01:51:27.000 I don't want anyone to go, here's what you have to do.

01:51:29.000 Explain to me why.

01:51:30.000 Tell me why it's beneficial.

01:51:32.000 And then, by the way, even still, give me the freedom to do it or not.

01:51:35.000 So here's what he said about Elon and Tesla.

01:51:38.000 He was saying that this Tesla truck thing, that building semis is not likely because of the fact that the batteries are very heavy. 0.99

01:51:45.000 And Elon's like, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. 0.93

01:51:48.000 We're already doing it. 0.99

01:51:49.000 They're already deep.

01:51:50.000 They have 500-mile semi trucks.

01:51:53.000 They're already operational.

01:51:55.000 They're a year away from implementing them nationwide.

01:51:59.000 They have them.

01:52:00.000 Right.

01:52:01.000 Have you seen a Tesla Semi?

01:52:02.000 Yes.

01:52:02.000 Yeah, they exist.

01:52:03.000 Right.

01:52:03.000 So he's talking about it's not likely planes and...

01:52:05.000 Between SpaceX, Tesla...

01:52:06.000 What is he saying?

01:52:08.000 Oh, this is actually an old video.

01:52:09.000 Well, all these billionaires have egos.

01:52:11.000 They all fight each other.

01:52:13.000 Okay, good day.

01:52:14.000 What's your opinion about Bill Gates' decorations referred to electric trucks?

01:52:18.000 Regards.

01:52:18.000 He has no clue.

01:52:19.000 Yeah, he doesn't have a clue.

01:52:20.000 Look, Elon balls deep into that world.

01:52:23.000 Yeah.

01:52:23.000 And then Elon's also mad because Bill Gates bought a Porsche.

01:52:29.000 Tycan.

01:52:29.000 Oh, interesting.

01:52:30.000 The electric Porsche.

01:52:31.000 And he said, like after he bought that, Bill Gates said, or Elon said, I've been underwhelmed when I talked to him.

01:52:38.000 Oh, that's funny.

01:52:39.000 Well, you know the whole thing is that these guys have egos and everybody wants to...

01:52:44.000 Just give me a little info before you put a chip in my arm, please.

01:52:48.000 There's a company that we were watching the video, they put chips in people's arms so they could use a vending machine.

01:52:53.000 Yeah, see, I don't think that's good.

01:52:55.000 And a lot of Americans, they'll go for that. 0.58

01:52:57.000 What if they fire you?

01:52:58.000 They turn your chip off.

01:52:59.000 Well, they're going to do that.

01:53:00.000 I mean, they're going to do that.

01:53:01.000 I mean, this is going to happen.

01:53:03.000 They cut it out?

01:53:03.000 Yeah, well, they can deactivate you.

01:53:05.000 They hold you down and cut your chip out.

01:53:07.000 You have two choices, Tim.

01:53:08.000 Keep that chip in your arm for the rest of your life, and it's just inert.

01:53:12.000 But we'll still track you.

01:53:13.000 We have to track you.

01:53:14.000 Right.

01:53:15.000 Or...

01:53:15.000 Well, Spotify chipped me on the way in, which I thought was...

01:53:18.000 They told me they weren't going to do that anymore.

01:53:19.000 They just did a chip in my neck when I walked in.

01:53:21.000 They told me they weren't going to do that anymore.

01:53:22.000 I was like, okay. 1.00

01:53:23.000 Well, they knew that you talk shit on trannies. 1.00

01:53:25.000 They do. 1.00

01:53:26.000 They said he's...

01:53:27.000 Only...

01:53:27.000 I like the Republican ones.

01:53:29.000 I love Caitlyn Jenner.

01:53:31.000 I love...

01:53:32.000 If you're a transgender person, you're against gay marriage, I'm already a fan. 1.00

01:53:35.000 I think I fucked up by saying tranny. 1.00

01:53:37.000 You can't even say that anymore. 0.99

01:53:38.000 You can't say it. 0.79

01:53:39.000 Even though trannies call each other trannies. 1.00

01:53:40.000 They do. 1.00

01:53:41.000 And gay people call gay people faggots, but you can't say that! 1.00

01:53:43.000 Don't say it! 1.00

01:53:44.000 Don't say it! 1.00

01:53:45.000 You can say it because you're gay. 0.97

01:53:46.000 Yes, but if... 0.98

01:53:47.000 You get a pass.

01:53:48.000 But I look too racist to say it. 0.99

01:53:51.000 My wife still doesn't believe you're gay. 0.98

01:53:53.000 She says you're just doing that just for the jokes.

01:53:54.000 We had a meeting at WME, and they said, we've got to figure something out.

01:53:58.000 And I said, what can we try?

01:54:00.000 And they said, gay guy who's kind of like uncomfortable and says like the wrong things.

01:54:06.000 And I said, let's try it out.

01:54:08.000 And I told my wife who lives in Jersey with our three kids who I send money home to every week.

01:54:12.000 She's a lovely woman, slightly larger, but working on it.

01:54:15.000 And, you know, we're just making the money, you know? 0.97

01:54:18.000 But, well, it's just the gay in the media is like, gays become annoying now. 1.00

01:54:22.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:54:23.000 Everybody's annoyed because gay people are like, Yertz! 1.00

01:54:25.000 You better be! 1.00

01:54:26.000 And it's like, shut up! 1.00

01:54:27.000 Nobody wants... 0.99

01:54:27.000 It's supposed to be fun! 0.99

01:54:28.000 They miss the will and grace gay. 0.99

01:54:30.000 They've become moralists. 0.94

01:54:32.000 Right.

01:54:33.000 It takes all the fun out of it. 0.98

01:54:34.000 You're not supposed to take balls out of your mouth and tell people how to live. 0.82

01:54:37.000 That's really the reality. 0.99

01:54:39.000 That's the reality! 0.98

01:54:40.000 They miss the queer eye for the straight guy type of gay. 0.96

01:54:43.000 Yeah, well they... 0.98

01:54:43.000 That's a fun gay. 0.98

01:54:45.000 Well, yeah, because now the gays are bookish and angry and they're in Antifa. 1.00

01:54:50.000 And they're angry. 0.96

01:54:51.000 And it's just like, it's not fun.

01:54:52.000 It's supposed to be a little fun, a little dirty and naughty and wrong.

01:54:57.000 That's the whole fun thing about everything.

01:54:59.000 Naughty.

01:54:59.000 It's not supposed to be, you know, Norman Rockwell.

01:55:03.000 Like, I'm sure that you listen.

01:55:04.000 You could do it.

01:55:04.000 You could have the family.

01:55:05.000 You could do anything you want.

01:55:06.000 But part of what is fun about... 1.00

01:55:09.000 Be gay is that it's not like a fucking... 1.00

01:55:11.000 You're not sitting there... 1.00

01:55:12.000 Like when they have the transgender drag queen reading to the kids, I'm like, great, I don't care about that, but it's also like, why are you doing that? 1.00

01:55:19.000 It's horrible and not fun. 0.92

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.000 Nobody wants to read to kids in a library.

01:55:24.000 Nobody.

01:55:24.000 What do you think has happened?

01:55:25.000 Do you think it's because on Twitter and social media, people can say things and get likes so that they make these statements and they feel like they did a good job in making that statement and a lot of people, it resonated with them.

01:55:37.000 People are just...

01:55:38.000 People are very invested in being a victim.

01:55:41.000 So when gay people started to mainstream and you got marriage and you got this and that, you weren't really a victim anymore.

01:55:47.000 So then what happened is people started saying queer and this and that and we're very different and now we don't...

01:55:52.000 And so now a lot of these non-binary people with all due respect is that A lot of these people are white women in upper middle class colleges like Wesleyan and Oberlin and places like that who don't want to be a victim.

01:56:06.000 I mean, they don't want to be an oppressor, but they're rich white chicks. 1.00

01:56:11.000 So by saying I'm non-binary, you're automatically now, you're not in...

01:56:15.000 The hierarchy of oppression anymore.

01:56:17.000 You've been victimized by a gender patriarchy that has enforced these things on you. 1.00

01:56:23.000 And that might, non-binary, it might stick. 0.98

01:56:25.000 Great.

01:56:25.000 I have no problem.

01:56:26.000 I don't care.

01:56:27.000 But it also might be like bell-bottoms.

01:56:29.000 Like, 20 years from now, a guy might be like, yeah, your mother had no gender in college. 0.98

01:56:33.000 She was a nut. 0.99

01:56:33.000 She used to burn down the federal courthouses in Seattle. 0.99

01:56:36.000 What did Douglas Murray say about, call them the really need attention people?

01:56:45.000 He's funny because he makes so many people mad.

01:56:47.000 He's always just sitting there.

01:56:48.000 He's the best.

01:56:49.000 He's just a very large and he just says, you know, Joe, let me say a few things and we'll be in the news in four minutes.

01:56:54.000 He's brilliant. 0.81

01:56:55.000 His book, The Madness of Crowds, is fucking fantastic because he nails it all. 0.96

01:57:01.000 All the craziness is going on. 0.99

01:57:03.000 A lot of it's just weird generational because older gay people don't understand this, a lot of them. 0.98

01:57:08.000 Oh, no, they don't. 0.79

01:57:09.000 They don't get it.

01:57:10.000 It's like Palm Springs, those gay guys. 1.00

01:57:12.000 Those gay guys! 0.99

01:57:12.000 No one took COVID less seriously than gay people that had money. 0.99

01:57:17.000 Like, they were all buff, these buff guys walking around. 0.90

01:57:20.000 No masks.

01:57:21.000 They took it less seriously than people that watch Infowars.

01:57:24.000 Like, they were like, this is fake.

01:57:25.000 They survived HIV. They're like, we all beat AIDS by lifting weights.

01:57:29.000 No one cares. 0.99

01:57:31.000 We're not fucking taking COVID seriously. 0.97

01:57:34.000 So this whole idea, they don't understand. 0.98

01:57:36.000 They'll be very honest.

01:57:37.000 They go, I don't understand.

01:57:38.000 They go, what do you mean gender is not real?

01:57:39.000 The whole point of my life is that gender is real and I wasn't attracted to that gender.

01:57:42.000 Yeah.

01:57:43.000 That's the whole point.

01:57:44.000 Yeah.

01:57:44.000 So at the end of the day, like, what do you mean that's not real?

01:57:46.000 So I've just been an idiot forever? 0.99

01:57:49.000 I just wanted to get beat up at school and then have to join a gym and get buffed. 1.00

01:57:53.000 Like, what are we doing? 1.00

01:57:54.000 That gender's not real thing is so dumb. 1.00

01:57:56.000 It's like space is fake, the thing you bring up. 0.99

01:57:59.000 It's the same idea.

01:58:00.000 It is the same thing. 0.86

01:58:02.000 It's sick.

01:58:02.000 We're in trouble.

01:58:04.000 Who cares?

01:58:05.000 No one cares.

01:58:05.000 This is the other thing.

01:58:06.000 I think people are so invested that people hate them and people care.

01:58:09.000 No one cares.

01:58:09.000 No one cares about your life.

01:58:11.000 No one cares if you want to be a man or a woman. 0.97

01:58:12.000 Nobody gives a shit about anything. 0.98

01:58:13.000 Nobody cares about anything. 0.98

01:58:14.000 Truly, they care about if there's a line at Chick-fil-A and if their water bill's paid. 0.99

01:58:17.000 They don't give a shit about your life. 0.98

01:58:19.000 But this idea that people are oppressing you and they're constantly invested and they're hunting and they're behind the trees and they're coming for you. 0.99

01:58:25.000 No one gives a shit. 0.96

01:58:26.000 Yes, there are small, motivated groups of people that want to restrict your rights. 0.99

01:58:29.000 But by and large, most people, they might be like, oh, that's weird.

01:58:33.000 Or that's a little odd.

01:58:35.000 But they're not fuming with hatred at you.

01:58:39.000 No.

01:58:40.000 No.

01:58:40.000 They're not.

01:58:41.000 And it makes people feel powerful or worthy if someone is.

01:58:45.000 Yes.

01:58:46.000 I want to be hated for the right reasons. 0.91

01:58:49.000 You are. 0.90

01:58:49.000 Yes. 0.90

01:58:50.000 And I believe I am.

01:58:51.000 I think you are.

01:58:52.000 You know, when I used to say I was gay on stage, people would be shocked.

01:58:55.000 Now sometimes people start clapping.

01:58:58.000 Oh, you don't want that.

01:58:59.000 I don't say it anymore.

01:59:00.000 You know what I say and said?

01:59:02.000 What? 0.98

01:59:02.000 I say, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's burning in hell. 0.98

01:59:06.000 Because I want that reaction. 0.89

01:59:07.000 I'd rather that reaction.

01:59:10.000 Uh...

01:59:13.000 I've chosen another way to say it.

01:59:18.000 It's a fun time to be bad.

01:59:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:59:20.000 It's a fun time to say ridiculous shit. 1.00

01:59:22.000 Because even though there's a lot of blowback, there's also a lot of people that get really happy that you're doing it. 1.00

01:59:27.000 Yeah.

01:59:27.000 Because there's not enough people that are pushing back.

01:59:29.000 A lot of people aren't.

01:59:31.000 And the people that come out to these shows, they've been having so much fun because they want this.

01:59:34.000 This is what they want.

01:59:35.000 Yeah.

01:59:36.000 Yeah.

01:59:36.000 Everybody wants somebody to push back and do it in a funny way that everyone can enjoy.

01:59:43.000 And that's what I think we need to do.

01:59:45.000 They want people that are free to express themselves because they're not.

01:59:48.000 Most people are not.

01:59:49.000 Yeah, most people are not.

01:59:50.000 And also let Hollywood go in this crazy direction they're going into. 0.99

01:59:53.000 Who gives a fuck? 0.97

01:59:54.000 We have all the tools to just create our own thing. 0.98

01:59:56.000 You've showed everyone that.

01:59:57.000 And it's just like people are over it.

01:59:59.000 People are over it.

02:00:00.000 What are you going to sit in a writer's room and write for some show? 1.00

02:00:04.000 Did you see that Emmys shit? 1.00

02:00:06.000 Horrific. 1.00

02:00:07.000 Where Jimmy Kimmel and was it Anthony Anderson?

02:00:11.000 I don't know.

02:00:12.000 Who was it that he was with?

02:00:14.000 I am checking.

02:00:15.000 I think that's what I did.

02:00:16.000 It was so weird.

02:00:19.000 It's weird.

02:00:19.000 That he said, yeah, this sounds good.

02:00:22.000 Yeah.

02:00:23.000 Yeah.

02:00:23.000 You know, you're supposed to clap here, Jimmy.

02:00:25.000 Say Black Lives Matter.

02:00:26.000 He says, Black Lives Matter.

02:00:27.000 Say it louder, Jimmy.

02:00:29.000 Yeah.

02:00:29.000 Black Lives Matter.

02:00:30.000 And he's like clapping.

02:00:31.000 I'm like, what are you doing?

02:00:32.000 Is it a parody?

02:00:33.000 I didn't know.

02:00:34.000 It's a hard thing.

02:00:34.000 And when you look at it, you're like, are they making fun of it?

02:00:36.000 It's weird.

02:00:37.000 They're trying to make it funny.

02:00:38.000 Yeah.

02:00:39.000 It's just there's no audience.

02:00:40.000 Right.

02:00:41.000 And they didn't try it out in front of an audience.

02:00:43.000 Yeah.

02:00:44.000 That needed work.

02:00:45.000 I see what you were trying to do.

02:00:47.000 You've got some really good writers to do that, but you've got to take some chances.

02:00:52.000 There you go, Anthony Anderson.

02:00:54.000 Jimmy Kimmel looks a little uncomfortable.

02:00:57.000 I think that's part of the sketch, though, is that he's supposed to kind of look uncomfortable.

02:01:02.000 That's part of the fun about it.

02:01:03.000 But it's just not good.

02:01:06.000 You needed someone to write something really funny.

02:01:11.000 Yeah.

02:01:12.000 And take a risk.

02:01:14.000 Well, comedy is supposed to live in those gray areas and there's no gray areas anymore.

02:01:18.000 So that's a real big problem.

02:01:19.000 That's a big problem.

02:01:20.000 That's a big problem.

02:01:21.000 Especially for anything corporate.

02:01:23.000 Louis made a good point.

02:01:24.000 He said that when you criticize both sides, you end up illustrating a deeper truth.

02:01:29.000 Which is about humanity, which is what comedy is supposed to do.

02:01:33.000 So if you look at two sides and go this and this, and you kind of try to make fun of them, and you have no sacred cows or whatever, you end up illustrating something deeper about humanity, which people can learn more from, and then reorient themselves in a productive way about any issue.

02:01:48.000 Yeah, that does make sense.

02:01:50.000 You have to be able to look at both sides.

02:01:53.000 In this day and age, that's not possible.

02:01:57.000 I should say it's not possible if you're on a corporate television show.

02:02:01.000 If you're on television, if you're doing a late night talk show, you got no shot, man.

02:02:07.000 And there's too many cooks in the kitchen. 1.00

02:02:08.000 And they're the worst.

02:02:09.000 I mean, they're just not funny.

02:02:10.000 They're very strange.

02:02:12.000 Jimmy Fallon does not look happy doing his show.

02:02:15.000 He looks like he's chained to that desk.

02:02:16.000 It's very strange.

02:02:17.000 He's talking to Muppets.

02:02:19.000 He's talking to Miss Piggy.

02:02:20.000 There's Muppets singing on the show.

02:02:22.000 It's dystopian.

02:02:23.000 It disturbs people.

02:02:24.000 They all look like they're running at high altitude.

02:02:26.000 Yeah.

02:02:27.000 There's not enough air in the room.

02:02:28.000 Get that kind of money.

02:02:29.000 And you say to yourself, like, I just want to stay...

02:02:32.000 I always wonder why those guys don't just jump ship and go make a movie.

02:02:36.000 Go do something else.

02:02:36.000 They can't make movies.

02:02:37.000 Yeah.

02:02:38.000 Because none of those guys, like Jimmy Fallon, they're not going to make movies of Jimmy Fallon.

02:02:41.000 Right.

02:02:42.000 I mean, maybe they can make a movie, but...

02:02:44.000 Go make an indie.

02:02:45.000 Go do something else.

02:02:45.000 The guys who make the movies are already making the movies, right?

02:02:48.000 Right.

02:02:48.000 Seth Meyers, or Seth Rogen, rather.

02:02:51.000 He's making the movies.

02:02:52.000 Right.

02:02:52.000 These famous guys that are, you know...

02:02:55.000 Adam Sandler.

02:02:56.000 They're making movies.

02:02:56.000 Right.

02:02:57.000 For you to say, I've never made any movies before, but I've been a talk show host.

02:03:00.000 I want to make a movie. 0.99

02:03:01.000 That might work, but you've got a gig that pays you fucking $10 million a year. 0.97

02:03:05.000 That's a good point. 0.97

02:03:05.000 Why risk it? 0.97

02:03:06.000 Stick with this gig. 1.00

02:03:06.000 What are you, stupid? 1.00

02:03:07.000 Why risk it? 1.00

02:03:08.000 Why risk it?

02:03:09.000 Well, maybe I'll just do a podcast.

02:03:11.000 Well, what are you going to say? 0.99

02:03:12.000 Wild shit on your podcast? 0.99

02:03:13.000 And then they're going to cancel you from your show. 1.00

02:03:15.000 Then you're in trouble.

02:03:15.000 Your podcast doesn't make enough money yet.

02:03:17.000 You can't do it.

02:03:19.000 What's amazing to me is nobody leaves.

02:03:21.000 Ellen's back.

02:03:22.000 Nobody walks away.

02:03:23.000 She's got hundreds of millions. 1.00

02:03:25.000 She's got so much money, but she's back.

02:03:27.000 She doesn't care.

02:03:28.000 She's back.

02:03:28.000 I think she wants to redeem herself.

02:03:30.000 That's probably true.

02:03:31.000 During the COVID, she got taken down harder than Bill Gates.

02:03:35.000 She did.

02:03:36.000 Bill Gates was here.

02:03:37.000 She got taken down.

02:03:38.000 But I think they'll forgive her.

02:03:40.000 By the way, if you were having a problem...

02:03:43.000 If you were in a car accident and everything like that, and you're just sitting there and you want somebody to help you, and you see Ellen and Bill Gates, does that make anyone feel comfortable? 0.99

02:03:51.000 No, I think they don't give a fuck if I die. 0.99

02:03:52.000 Let's be very honest. 1.00

02:03:53.000 If two of them were walking towards me, and I had a tire out, I would fake my own death.

02:04:00.000 Something on a guttural level, I go, ugh!

02:04:02.000 She dresses like an executive on Westworld, just waiting for you to die, watching you on the screen. 0.67

02:04:09.000 She's tough, man. 0.99

02:04:09.000 Is the Indian going to shoot him? 0.99

02:04:12.000 Did you see a Vin Diesel song and they had the crowd dancing to Kelly Clarkson's show? 0.94

02:04:15.000 Don't tell me Vin Diesel's singing.

02:04:16.000 Don't you do it.

02:04:17.000 This is fake.

02:04:19.000 Don't you do it.

02:04:20.000 It's very bad.

02:04:21.000 The Emmys, who's that for right now?

02:04:24.000 Nobody.

02:04:25.000 Who's your target audience?

02:04:25.000 Nobody.

02:04:26.000 If you're sitting at home and you're an Emmys writer, who are we doing this for?

02:04:29.000 Not the 27 million people that are about to be evicted.

02:04:31.000 I'll tell you that.

02:04:33.000 That's not who it's for.

02:04:34.000 That is what's real too, right?

02:04:35.000 Yeah, that's what's real.

02:04:36.000 I mean, they should have not had it.

02:04:38.000 I think it's for young kids in high school that want to one day be on 30 Rock or a show like that, create a show like that.

02:04:45.000 Vin Diesel, this is on Kelly Clarkson's show?

02:04:48.000 Yes, she's got a crowd with people. 1.00

02:04:50.000 They have screens flipped up vertically for the audience so she can see them and there's people at home like they're doing for the NBA games.

02:04:57.000 I guess Vin has a new song and...

02:05:00.000 Is he singing right now?

02:05:01.000 No, I think he's talking to her.

02:05:03.000 And then they play it here for the audience.

02:05:05.000 Where is this?

02:05:06.000 Yeah, right here.

02:05:06.000 So they're showing.

02:05:07.000 This is the weird part where they must have told these people they all have to dance.

02:05:09.000 Okay, let me see what this is.

02:05:11.000 Give me a little bit of it.

02:05:13.000 Stop! 1.00

02:05:14.000 Stop.

02:05:15.000 I heard enough.

02:05:16.000 Horrible.

02:05:17.000 No, not as bad as Drew Barrymore's talk show.

02:05:19.000 How bad was it?

02:05:20.000 Everyone said it was horrible.

02:05:21.000 It doesn't even make sense.

02:05:22.000 What's wrong?

02:05:23.000 Is she on drugs? 0.98

02:05:23.000 What is it? 0.98

02:05:24.000 All of it.

02:05:25.000 I don't know.

02:05:26.000 The writing, the overacting, it's confusing, man.

02:05:32.000 Have you seen it, Jamie?

02:05:35.000 There was some clip I saw that I think it might have been Tom and Christina put up.

02:05:38.000 It's so bad.

02:05:40.000 It's like, how did you let that slide through?

02:05:44.000 Someone needs to tell her.

02:05:46.000 I've heard her on talk shows, though.

02:05:48.000 Who let that?

02:05:49.000 She's nice.

02:05:50.000 She seems smart and funny and interesting on talk shows.

02:05:54.000 And then doing her own, she's over the top and really acty-outy.

02:05:59.000 Yeah, it's bad.

02:06:00.000 You want to hear a little bit of it?

02:06:01.000 Here we go.

02:06:22.000 Stop.

02:06:23.000 That's enough.

02:06:25.000 Yeah, I mean...

02:06:26.000 All the good writers are dead.

02:06:28.000 They're all dead. 1.00

02:06:29.000 And this has got to die. 1.00

02:06:30.000 And they should... 0.87

02:06:31.000 I mean, at the end of the day, it's just...

02:06:32.000 That's why you should just...

02:06:33.000 It's just like podcast, Drew, and people like it.

02:06:36.000 But if she podcasted and just be herself...

02:06:38.000 Yeah, I think it would be better.

02:06:39.000 It would be much better.

02:06:40.000 She's doing stand-up there.

02:06:42.000 Well, she's trying to be very big and animated. 0.96

02:06:44.000 Right.

02:06:44.000 And no one...

02:06:44.000 Yeah.

02:06:45.000 But she hasn't done stand-up before.

02:06:46.000 It's crazy.

02:06:47.000 Yeah.

02:06:48.000 She's doing stand-up, but you haven't done stand-up.

02:06:49.000 She's another one who's been famous since she's two or something, right?

02:06:52.000 Oh, that's right.

02:06:53.000 So, I mean, it's like...

02:06:54.000 What was the ET? Was she on ET? Is that what she was on?

02:06:58.000 Oh my god.

02:06:59.000 She's been in the business forever.

02:07:00.000 That's so long ago.

02:07:01.000 Yeah.

02:07:02.000 That's so long ago.

02:07:03.000 Yeah.

02:07:04.000 I mean, that's where it ends.

02:07:05.000 That's 82?

02:07:06.000 This is a lesson for everybody in a theater arts class right now. 0.96

02:07:09.000 You could be Drew Barrymore doing that show or Aaron Carter jerking off. 0.95

02:07:14.000 Those are the two options. 0.99

02:07:15.000 Just wait until you're older.

02:07:17.000 You've got to develop a personality and go through some struggle and pay your own bills.

02:07:22.000 I just don't think it's right.

02:07:25.000 This is one of the things that I was talking with Miley Cyrus about.

02:07:26.000 I was a child actor as a kid and I failed.

02:07:29.000 Congratulations.

02:07:29.000 No, I was on Sesame Street three times.

02:07:31.000 Were you really?

02:07:32.000 Twice.

02:07:32.000 I was on Sesame Street.

02:07:33.000 You could...

02:07:36.000 I did the polka with Snuffleupagus.

02:07:38.000 Legitimately.

02:07:39.000 I was a child actor and I felt because I had the same voice I do now and it was disturbing to the casting director.

02:07:43.000 I'm glad it didn't work out.

02:07:44.000 I was a cute little kid, but I would be like, hello.

02:07:46.000 When did you give up?

02:07:48.000 I was from 6. First play was 6. 6 to 12. And then 12, that was it.

02:07:54.000 Thank God you gave up before your puberty kicked in.

02:07:57.000 Yeah, but I got out, but I was in that game, and I would audition against people like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, like real deal dudes who made it.

02:08:06.000 Whose idea was it for you to do that?

02:08:07.000 I really liked doing it, and I was really into it.

02:08:11.000 I wanted attention.

02:08:12.000 I wanted everything.

02:08:14.000 So my mother and father, boomers, they're like, fine, make a little money, pay our mortgage. 1.00

02:08:19.000 Yeah.

02:08:19.000 You know what I mean?

02:08:20.000 They're Long Island scum. 1.00

02:08:22.000 Love them both. 1.00

02:08:24.000 I have a friend who got famous when he was young and his parents ripped him off.

02:08:28.000 Really?

02:08:29.000 Yeah, I found out later in life.

02:08:30.000 They would have done that to me too.

02:08:32.000 They would have absolutely taken everything, those two.

02:08:34.000 Yeah, they would have mismanaged it.

02:08:35.000 Didn't audit.

02:08:36.000 Yeah, they would have screwed it all up, both of them.

02:08:39.000 So I'm glad that it didn't work out for that sake because they would have taken all the money and blown it.

02:08:44.000 You wouldn't have been funny. 0.99

02:08:45.000 I'm glad it worked out because you gotta go through some shit. 0.99

02:08:48.000 You gotta live. 0.99

02:08:49.000 You gotta live.

02:08:50.000 You gotta live.

02:08:51.000 It's hard enough to be a person.

02:08:53.000 Just a grown person.

02:08:55.000 Everybody knows that.

02:08:56.000 It's hard to be a grown up.

02:08:58.000 It's really hard to be famous.

02:09:00.000 Right.

02:09:00.000 It's hard.

02:09:01.000 It's hard to manage it.

02:09:02.000 And it's way harder if you grow up famous.

02:09:05.000 Yeah.

02:09:06.000 Because you never had a reality.

02:09:08.000 You don't have a...

02:09:09.000 Oh, people know who I am now.

02:09:10.000 No, they always know who you are? 1.00

02:09:12.000 Well, you're fucked. 1.00

02:09:13.000 Because it's like cement, but you're mixing it wrong. 1.00

02:09:16.000 You've got too much water, and it's never going to harden.

02:09:19.000 You can't take the water out. 1.00

02:09:21.000 You're already fucked. 1.00

02:09:22.000 That's what it's like. 1.00

02:09:23.000 It's a difficult thing.

02:09:24.000 At your level, it's very difficult.

02:09:25.000 Somebody that's really well-known, it can be very difficult.

02:09:28.000 My level, it's kind of fun.

02:09:30.000 Because I get a few people in a restaurant go, hey man, that's fun.

02:09:34.000 Megan McCain!

02:09:35.000 Yeah, we're fans.

02:09:36.000 We like your podcast.

02:09:38.000 That's fun.

02:09:39.000 But then at your level, it gets a little invasive.

02:09:42.000 It gets weird.

02:09:42.000 It gets invasive.

02:09:44.000 I had a slow drip.

02:09:45.000 You know, I got it over a long time.

02:09:47.000 Right.

02:09:48.000 I've had a slow fame drip since 94. Right.

02:09:51.000 You know?

02:09:51.000 Yeah.

02:09:52.000 And then now it's just this is a...

02:09:54.000 Yeah.

02:09:55.000 You can't go to an airport without people.

02:09:57.000 It's a whole thing.

02:09:58.000 It's a thing.

02:09:59.000 Yeah, it's a thing now.

02:10:00.000 And people come up to you.

02:10:01.000 I've been at the comedy store.

02:10:02.000 They run up to you and they're like, dude, let me just show you this video.

02:10:05.000 Well, they want me to do things with them.

02:10:07.000 Yeah.

02:10:07.000 That's what's weird.

02:10:08.000 Like, I need you to help me with this project.

02:10:10.000 Let me help you.

02:10:11.000 With this project!

02:10:13.000 Oh, dude, you'd be amazed. 0.98

02:10:14.000 The fucking number of people during the day that email me or get a hold of friends. 0.98

02:10:21.000 Like, hey, man, I don't want to get you this, but this guy wants to talk to you about this. 0.99

02:10:25.000 Yeah.

02:10:25.000 I mean, it's hundreds.

02:10:27.000 Yeah.

02:10:28.000 It's constant.

02:10:29.000 Yeah.

02:10:29.000 Because they think that they know, hey, you know that guy?

02:10:32.000 Hey.

02:10:32.000 Right.

02:10:33.000 I got this thing.

02:10:33.000 I've been trying to make this new kind of pickle.

02:10:35.000 Right. 1.00

02:10:36.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

02:10:38.000 Can you invest? 1.00

02:10:39.000 If I could just get a hold of him. 0.98

02:10:41.000 I've had no bullshit. 0.92

02:10:43.000 A thousand people asked me to invest in things. 0.74

02:10:45.000 What's the weirdest way someone's tried to get on the show?

02:10:48.000 Has there been weird ways?

02:10:50.000 Oh, sure.

02:10:50.000 I don't know.

02:10:51.000 Somebody FedExed himself to the studio.

02:10:52.000 The beautiful thing about me not reading comments or anything like that is I don't have to read any of that. 0.99

02:10:57.000 And I have good people that filter out all that shit. 0.93

02:11:01.000 They've done Twitter campaigns. 0.99

02:11:06.000 Tweet at them.

02:11:07.000 Here he is.

02:11:08.000 So here he is.

02:11:08.000 This is me.

02:11:09.000 See, look at that.

02:11:09.000 Look at that.

02:11:10.000 I should have made it.

02:11:11.000 We just had to walk around Snuffleupagus.

02:11:14.000 How did you know it was Tim?

02:11:16.000 Was that you?

02:11:17.000 Yeah, it's me.

02:11:17.000 Come on.

02:11:18.000 Dancing with that small Hispanic woman. 1.00

02:11:20.000 Are you sure that's you?

02:11:21.000 That's absolutely me.

02:11:22.000 How do you know that's you?

02:11:24.000 It was MKUltraMindControl, but I had it.

02:11:29.000 Therapists have done mental regression.

02:11:32.000 I want to see your little face.

02:11:34.000 I looked at for now, Jones. 0.99

02:11:35.000 It's all from the fucking bird's eye view. 0.99

02:11:38.000 Let me see. 1.00

02:11:39.000 I don't see shit. 0.99

02:11:40.000 I'm not buying it. 0.99

02:11:42.000 Wait a minute.

02:11:43.000 You can tell until I was starting to get fat.

02:11:46.000 I was starting to get chubby.

02:11:47.000 That is you.

02:11:48.000 You can tell I was starting to get chubby.

02:11:49.000 That is you.

02:11:50.000 That's so weird.

02:11:51.000 What were you thinking right there?

02:11:52.000 Like, I'm really on TV. I was thinking that this is really not what I thought it was going to be.

02:11:56.000 Did you meet Snuffleupagus outside of the outfit or did they keep that a secret from you?

02:11:59.000 No, but Big Bird used to smoke cigarettes outside.

02:12:01.000 He was this really kind of guy named Carol something and he looked very like, you know, like creepy.

02:12:07.000 Well, no, just meth-y.

02:12:08.000 Dangerous?

02:12:08.000 Just smoking cigs and kind of like- Big Bird smoked cigs in front of the kids?

02:12:12.000 Yeah, I mean, he was sitting outside in Astoria, Kaufman Astoria Studios.

02:12:15.000 What year is this?

02:12:17.000 19, I was, you know, 9, so 1994. Wow, you could still smoke cigarettes in front of kids back then?

02:12:23.000 Yeah, oh, back then it was, kids would just shut up.

02:12:26.000 We would take, my friend's mother would drive us around, she would smoke bots, my friend's father would smoke bots and roll the windows up.

02:12:31.000 Oh, that's the dirtiest, that's the dirtiest.

02:12:33.000 Yeah, just smoke, she would smoke Marlboros. 0.99

02:12:35.000 We're not getting cold.

02:12:36.000 Yeah.

02:12:37.000 Because of you kids?

02:12:37.000 Yeah, the windows go right up.

02:12:39.000 So that was when you could treat kids like, you know. 1.00

02:12:41.000 Garbage. 0.99

02:12:42.000 Smoking sections in restaurants seem like such a thing of the past, but it wasn't that fucking long ago. 0.99

02:12:47.000 What year was that?

02:12:48.000 I worked in them, so it must have been like 2003, 4, 5, somewhere.

02:12:53.000 I think New York was earliest.

02:12:55.000 New York was first.

02:12:56.000 Well, LA was a big deal, because they stopped it in bars, and I remember Drew Carey was complaining.

02:13:03.000 I don't think Drew Carey even smoked, but he was just complaining for the business, for Barney's Beanery, because they blocked it at Barney's, and everybody's like, what?

02:13:11.000 Barney's Beanery?

02:13:12.000 Well, even having a smoking section was a little ridiculous, because smoke goes everywhere.

02:13:17.000 Everywhere, yeah.

02:13:18.000 How could you have a section?

02:13:18.000 I guess the world just smelled like smoke when you were growing up, like, all the time.

02:13:23.000 Yeah, but casinos, you could still smoke?

02:13:25.000 Yes. 0.99

02:13:25.000 That's what's fucked. 0.99

02:13:27.000 Barely can, you know. 0.99

02:13:28.000 Really?

02:13:29.000 It's frowned upon.

02:13:31.000 Half the area, you can't...

02:13:32.000 Like, if you're at a table, you can have a cigarette.

02:13:35.000 But, like, walking around most of the places, it's like, no smoking.

02:13:37.000 Well, please, no smoking.

02:13:38.000 I think they probably don't want you dropping ashes on the floor and burning the carpet.

02:13:42.000 Part of it, yeah. 1.00

02:13:43.000 There's a lot of assholes who walk around with cigars, too. 1.00

02:13:45.000 Hey, Vegas! 1.00

02:13:46.000 I'm a winner!

02:13:47.000 It also might be the casino-dependent.

02:13:49.000 Well, the ceilings are so high, and they filter the oxygen, so, I mean...

02:13:53.000 Do they really pump oxygen in there to keep you awake?

02:13:55.000 That's what they've said.

02:13:56.000 Not awake, but it's probably because it's such an enclosed space, you have to get some fresh air in there.

02:14:00.000 Yeah.

02:14:01.000 I don't know about it to keep you awake.

02:14:02.000 Have you been since the COVID? No.

02:14:04.000 I've only been to Vegas for the fights, and the fights are at the UFC Apex Center.

02:14:09.000 Have you stayed, or do you just fly back?

02:14:10.000 No, I fly in and out in a day, and it's weird being there, man.

02:14:14.000 It's like everybody's wearing a mask, and they have very strict laws in Nevada, so everybody's masked up and...

02:14:20.000 Yeah, I just think that town's going to have a tough time back.

02:14:23.000 They're going to have a real tough time bouncing back, but if they are back, they will make money.

02:14:29.000 Yes, of course.

02:14:30.000 People love Vegas.

02:14:31.000 Yeah, of course.

02:14:31.000 They love being there.

02:14:32.000 It's just whether or not...

02:14:33.000 The town itself, though, my buddy Randy was telling me it's hurting.

02:14:36.000 He lives there, so it's hurting bad.

02:14:39.000 He's like, it's hurting bad.

02:14:41.000 Most people burnt through their savings within the first month or two.

02:14:44.000 Do you think LA's going to come back?

02:14:45.000 Yeah.

02:14:46.000 Dude, I don't know.

02:14:47.000 Jamie, you were just there.

02:14:48.000 You said it was horrible.

02:14:49.000 Yeah, it was weird.

02:14:50.000 I was in three airports.

02:14:52.000 L.A., well, four technically, I guess.

02:14:53.000 L.A., Columbus, Austin.

02:14:55.000 All pretty empty, like you would think the pandemic is happening.

02:14:59.000 O'Hare Airport last night.

02:15:01.000 Packed.

02:15:02.000 Slammed.

02:15:03.000 Slammed.

02:15:03.000 People were running around everywhere.

02:15:04.000 Full flights.

02:15:05.000 Every plane everyone was staying was full.

02:15:07.000 Every flight I got on, they were like, this is a full flight.

02:15:09.000 That would make me uncomfortable.

02:15:10.000 A full flight with strangers wearing a mask.

02:15:13.000 I haven't done a full flight, but I've done flights.

02:15:16.000 And I've got to be honest with you, you don't feel that in the plane because the oxygens circulate.

02:15:21.000 They refilter the air.

02:15:23.000 They said that the transmission rates are probably lower there than if you were in an elevator or an enclosed small room or something like that.

02:15:30.000 It's weird how contagious this disease is.

02:15:32.000 Well, you say that, but I know a guy who just tested positive and his girlfriend's not positive and they've been living together.

02:15:38.000 It's so weird.

02:15:38.000 It's very strange.

02:15:40.000 It's weird.

02:15:40.000 She's probably healthy.

02:15:41.000 Yeah.

02:15:42.000 So, I mean, but he's healthy too.

02:15:44.000 They're both like fitness people.

02:15:45.000 She might be doing that. 0.98

02:15:49.000 I don't know.

02:15:50.000 Is that the antidote?

02:15:51.000 Is that the vaccine?

02:15:52.000 Maybe it's in the loads.

02:15:54.000 It might be.

02:15:54.000 But listen to this.

02:15:55.000 He was... 0.99

02:15:57.000 Bill Gates comes out and says we need semen. 0.81

02:16:00.000 The antibodies?

02:16:04.000 I just take the vitamins.

02:16:05.000 I take the vitamin D, and I think that's what you can do. 0.97

02:16:09.000 Yeah, vitamin D is huge, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D. Don't eat white sugar and inflammatory ice cream and bullshit. 0.84

02:16:17.000 Don't try to sleep, but that's hard. 0.57

02:16:21.000 Well, that's the thing about breast milk, too, though.

02:16:24.000 Breast milk is phenomenal for a kid's immune system. 0.97

02:16:28.000 There you go.

02:16:29.000 Makes sense.

02:16:30.000 It makes sense.

02:16:31.000 But, you know, it's not nearly as big of an issue with children anyway.

02:16:35.000 One of the things the Florida governor did is he put up a chart that showed the fatality rate for people that are, you know, under this age, over that age, and he went through all the things.

02:16:46.000 Which is accurate.

02:16:47.000 But you're just talking about fatality.

02:16:50.000 The long-term effects are creepy.

02:16:52.000 Yeah, that's an issue.

02:16:53.000 There's some people that have devastating long-term effects.

02:16:57.000 And they don't know how long that's going to last, because obviously this has only been around for six months.

02:17:02.000 But there's people that got it four or five months ago that are still suffering from fatigue.

02:17:07.000 But they're also saying that that's a lot of diseases that aren't reported.

02:17:13.000 People just have some weird neurological reaction to it, and it just flares up, whether it's chronic fatigue or Epstein-Barr.

02:17:20.000 I mean, dude, it's just a bad situation where you hope that we get out of it.

02:17:25.000 But there doesn't seem to be, like, there's no great option here.

02:17:29.000 The great option is take care of your health.

02:17:31.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:17:33.000 That's the option.

02:17:34.000 Make sure you make your immune system as durable as possible.

02:17:37.000 And this is what's driving me the most crazy about our government.

02:17:41.000 You don't hear a peep about that.

02:17:42.000 You don't hear a peep about that.

02:17:43.000 Which is why, you know, I was talking on my podcast, I said as a joke, I said...

02:17:46.000 Tell people to eat their vegetables.

02:17:48.000 It's like you're going to tell people to vote.

02:17:49.000 There's so much better advice or equally as good advice.

02:17:53.000 Tell them other things and nobody tells anyone anything.

02:17:55.000 So yeah, they've said not a word about immune health and they've said not a word about preventative measures you can take other than sitting in your house and going broke.

02:18:02.000 Yeah, the crazy thing in LA, they're talking about schools and when schools are going to open up.

02:18:06.000 They said after the election.

02:18:08.000 Could you at least try to pretend that you're not being political?

02:18:11.000 This isn't totally political.

02:18:12.000 After the election.

02:18:13.000 Do you have science?

02:18:14.000 Kamala Harris will open the school.

02:18:16.000 She'll cut the ribbon to open the school when it's, yeah.

02:18:19.000 Do you have science?

02:18:20.000 She's going to smother Biden with a pillow. 1.00

02:18:22.000 The day she gets in there.

02:18:24.000 Fauci's got to go.

02:18:25.000 They're going to celebrate.

02:18:25.000 They're going to celebrate the hotel room.

02:18:28.000 And she's going to get on top of him.

02:18:29.000 I saw this in the last week.

02:18:32.000 This guy's got to go.

02:18:34.000 This is a big mistake.

02:18:35.000 He's been saying about taking vitamin D. He says if you're deficient, the problem with that is everyone's deficient.

02:18:42.000 People don't think they're deficient.

02:18:44.000 79% of America is deficient in vitamin D. The other thing about Fauci just seems to me, I've always believed Italians shouldn't be doctors. 1.00

02:18:52.000 Or governors.

02:18:53.000 Yeah, or governors.

02:18:54.000 Correct.

02:18:55.000 They shouldn't make cars either. 0.52

02:18:56.000 100%.

02:18:57.000 But we should have a Jew or an Asian giving us advice. 0.98

02:19:00.000 I like that.

02:19:01.000 Nobody wants a short...

02:19:02.000 Hey, I'm Fauci. 0.99

02:19:04.000 Nobody wants a pizza fucking delivery guy giving people advice on coronavirus. 0.99

02:19:10.000 Give us an Asian. 1.00

02:19:11.000 Give us a Jew. 1.00

02:19:13.000 Nobody wants an Irish guy either. 1.00

02:19:15.000 Nobody wants a guy that looks like me whose name's Maliki.

02:19:17.000 What about Kennedy?

02:19:17.000 Nobody wants that.

02:19:19.000 Get an Asian or a Jew, please. 1.00

02:19:21.000 What about Kennedy?

02:19:22.000 Nobody wants...

02:19:23.000 You want a doctor or an Indian guy, like a Pakistani guy or something?

02:19:27.000 Listen to him.

02:19:28.000 Go listen to the Italian guy.

02:19:30.000 I like what you're saying.

02:19:31.000 I'm just...

02:19:32.000 It's what it is.

02:19:33.000 I think that's fair.

02:19:36.000 I like when people are racist against white people.

02:19:38.000 It's like clearing.

02:19:39.000 It's clean.

02:19:39.000 You can get away with it.

02:19:40.000 It's all we have left.

02:19:41.000 Yeah.

02:19:42.000 You can get away with it.

02:19:42.000 You get away with it.

02:19:43.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:19:43.000 Shit all over them. 1.00

02:19:44.000 All you have left. 1.00

02:19:45.000 And Italians are barely white. 0.99

02:19:47.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:19:48.000 Truly.

02:19:48.000 That's my people.

02:19:48.000 So we're Irish.

02:19:49.000 We're barely white.

02:19:50.000 Well, we were slaves.

02:19:52.000 We were slaves.

02:19:53.000 I mean, the potato famine was a tragedy.

02:19:56.000 People tend not to remember that.

02:19:58.000 Oh, they gloss over it, these foxes.

02:20:00.000 They eat potatoes right in front of you. 0.95

02:20:01.000 Yeah, right.

02:20:01.000 They don't even think about you.

02:20:02.000 This was a hard time.

02:20:04.000 Hard time for your ancestors.

02:20:05.000 I mean, but I don't know.

02:20:06.000 This debate tomorrow is going to be like, it might be the funnest thing ever.

02:20:10.000 I hope.

02:20:11.000 And the scariest.

02:20:12.000 I hope it falls apart.

02:20:13.000 I hope Biden forgets what he's talking about and just falls asleep. 1.00

02:20:18.000 I hope Trump goes crazy and starts making shit up. 1.00

02:20:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:20:21.000 And I hope the United States the next day puts time out.

02:20:24.000 And stop.

02:20:25.000 Yeah.

02:20:25.000 Let's start over.

02:20:26.000 Wouldn't that be amazing?

02:20:28.000 It's an hour and a half commercial free.

02:20:30.000 Wow.

02:20:32.000 Who's the moderator?

02:20:34.000 Chris Wallace?

02:20:35.000 I don't...

02:20:36.000 Let me see.

02:20:36.000 I know they've announced...

02:20:37.000 I think it's Chris Wallace.

02:20:38.000 It's a TikToker.

02:20:40.000 Let me tell you something about that Chris Wallace guy.

02:20:41.000 He is very reasonable.

02:20:44.000 He's not bad.

02:20:45.000 He's very reasonable.

02:20:46.000 He's a good choice. 1.00

02:20:47.000 He will hold your fucking nuts to the fire if you say stupid shit. 1.00

02:20:51.000 Yeah, he's good. 1.00

02:20:51.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:20:52.000 He's good.

02:20:52.000 And he's a Fox News guy, but he's...

02:20:55.000 He's good.

02:20:56.000 And even liberals are looking at him, they're like, okay.

02:20:58.000 It's going to be a really crazy debate.

02:21:01.000 I'm kind of...

02:21:02.000 I mean, I'm doing this show instead of...

02:21:04.000 But I'll see.

02:21:05.000 I'll watch it.

02:21:06.000 And I'm sure it'll be...

02:21:06.000 Well, you can always watch it afterwards.

02:21:08.000 I'll watch it afterwards.

02:21:09.000 It's going to be around.

02:21:10.000 The election is what's scary to me.

02:21:12.000 We should do...

02:21:13.000 Last year, or last...

02:21:14.000 In 2016, you weren't in LA yet, but we did an End of the World podcast.

02:21:19.000 Yeah.

02:21:20.000 We should do something like that on November 3rd.

02:21:22.000 That would be hilarious.

02:21:23.000 We should get some people in here.

02:21:25.000 Jamie, who do we have on...

02:21:26.000 Do we have anybody booked?

02:21:28.000 Hold on.

02:21:28.000 Don't say anything.

02:21:29.000 Don't say anything.

02:21:31.000 Don't say anything, Jamie.

02:21:33.000 There might be.

02:21:34.000 That I know of.

02:21:35.000 Okay, it just says election damage.

02:21:37.000 Yeah, you have different knowledge than me. 1.00

02:21:40.000 Don't let the fucking Spotify people know. 0.99

02:21:42.000 I gotta keep the guests quiet so I can sneak them in. 0.99

02:21:46.000 Oh, by the way, I'm sneaking some people in.

02:21:48.000 Oh, there's gonna be some nuclear bombs we're gonna drop.

02:21:51.000 But, yeah, let's do that.

02:21:53.000 Let's get together a few guys.

02:21:55.000 Like maybe Normand.

02:21:56.000 Yeah.

02:21:57.000 Maybe Shafir. 0.96

02:21:58.000 Yeah, why not? 0.99

02:21:58.000 Some crazy people. 0.99

02:21:59.000 Yeah. 0.60

02:22:00.000 Yeah.

02:22:00.000 Do it all in here and do it live.

02:22:02.000 Why not?

02:22:02.000 May or may not.

02:22:02.000 Skype options might be available to if someone can't make it.

02:22:05.000 We might not be in this room anymore by then. 0.99

02:22:07.000 I got ideas, motherfucker. 1.00

02:22:09.000 You're moving on. 1.00

02:22:09.000 I'm doing shit. 1.00

02:22:11.000 I'll take this studio when you're done. 1.00

02:22:14.000 I'll take this.

02:22:14.000 You're going to move here, right?

02:22:16.000 I might.

02:22:17.000 Yeah.

02:22:17.000 I mean, it's getting a little crazy over there.

02:22:19.000 Listen, if you move here, I might have this available for you.

02:22:21.000 Getting a little crazy over there.

02:22:23.000 You got good internet.

02:22:23.000 You know?

02:22:24.000 If you're into red and black, this is your spot.

02:22:26.000 Yeah, this is the spot.

02:22:28.000 I like it.

02:22:29.000 This is like a Boston Chinese restaurant.

02:22:30.000 I had to put this thing together.

02:22:32.000 I mean, I didn't put it together, but Matt Alvarez did.

02:22:34.000 Yeah, we can make it more red.

02:22:35.000 Yeah.

02:22:35.000 We had to put this thing together.

02:22:37.000 Yeah.

02:22:37.000 I literally decided from...

02:22:39.000 I like that.

02:22:40.000 Leave it like that.

02:22:41.000 That's great.

02:22:41.000 That's tight.

02:22:42.000 This is nice.

02:22:43.000 Yeah, it's tight.

02:22:45.000 From deciding we were going to leave L.A. to living here was six weeks.

02:22:51.000 Quick.

02:22:51.000 Six weeks.

02:22:52.000 Quick.

02:22:52.000 We were, from deciding we were going to leave L.A. to shipping, everybody.

02:22:56.000 Moving, the whole crew.

02:22:57.000 Yeah.

02:22:58.000 Like, everybody.

02:22:59.000 Security people.

02:23:00.000 Everybody.

02:23:00.000 Jamie.

02:23:01.000 Yeah.

02:23:01.000 My family.

02:23:03.000 Fucking, we had to move all the equipment. 1.00

02:23:06.000 We had to set everything up. 1.00

02:23:08.000 We had to, you know, they had to put together this fucking room. 0.99

02:23:11.000 And people were like, I fucking hate the new studio. 1.00

02:23:14.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:23:15.000 It's a spot where I talk!

02:23:17.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

02:23:18.000 What do you give a fuck what's behind me? 1.00

02:23:20.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

02:23:21.000 But I got plans.

02:23:22.000 Yeah.

02:23:23.000 I got plans for stage two.

02:23:24.000 I liked the way you addressed it the other day.

02:23:25.000 You said, folks, relax.

02:23:27.000 Yeah.

02:23:27.000 Just settle down.

02:23:29.000 Settle down.

02:23:30.000 It's not the most important thing.

02:23:31.000 It'll all be okay.

02:23:32.000 It'll all be okay.

02:23:32.000 It's like, there's a thing.

02:23:34.000 These are sound panels.

02:23:35.000 Yeah.

02:23:35.000 I just thought they looked cool.

02:23:36.000 Well, I appreciate that, and thanks for letting me use your backyard for my pop-up show.

02:23:40.000 Whenever you want.

02:23:41.000 Just tell everybody where I live.

02:23:42.000 I was like, is there any clubs open?

02:23:43.000 He's like, I don't think so.

02:23:44.000 I'm like, I'll just bring everyone to the backyard.

02:23:45.000 Just get 100 people in the backyard for you.

02:23:47.000 I have a spot for you.

02:23:47.000 Yeah, just clear it off real quick.

02:23:49.000 Yeah, no problem.

02:23:49.000 I think there's going to be, I mean, there's a Velveeta room here.

02:23:54.000 Yeah, it's a great spot.

02:23:56.000 Are they still doing stand-up?

02:23:57.000 I don't know what's going on.

02:23:57.000 I think a lot of stuff in Austin is closed.

02:23:59.000 The whole 6th Street was sketchy the other day.

02:24:01.000 I drove down 6th Street during the day and I was like, whoa, this looks sketchy.

02:24:05.000 Nothing looks good right now.

02:24:06.000 Everything's closed up and weird.

02:24:08.000 At night it opens up.

02:24:09.000 Does it?

02:24:10.000 I hear music at night downtown.

02:24:11.000 Well, I heard music for sure, but I also saw a lot of very homeless-y looking folk. 0.99

02:24:17.000 Wandering around. 0.98

02:24:18.000 Well, that's going to get worse and worse unless people figure out a way to get people back to work and get people mental health care and get people all kinds of shit. 0.98

02:24:26.000 Bridget Phetasy sent me a video that she took from Venice. 0.99

02:24:29.000 It's bananas.

02:24:32.000 What's going on?

02:24:33.000 A mile straight.

02:24:35.000 I mean, a mile straight of tents. 1.00

02:24:38.000 The fucking video just keeps going and going and going and you're like, no. 0.99

02:24:43.000 No. 1.00

02:24:43.000 No, that can't be. 1.00

02:24:45.000 Hold on.

02:24:45.000 It's like, why are there no tents in Beverly Hills, though?

02:24:48.000 You know?

02:24:48.000 Because there's people with a lot of money there.

02:24:50.000 Right, that's exactly what it is.

02:24:51.000 Yeah, but then they tweet on Twitter about, you know, right.

02:24:54.000 I mean, it's like, let's put the tents in Bel Air. 0.99

02:24:56.000 They have this, like, stupid idea of, like, what's okay. 0.99

02:24:59.000 The vast people think it's fine. 1.00

02:25:00.000 It's fine.

02:25:01.000 Look at this.

02:25:01.000 Watch this.

02:25:03.000 Can you see that, ladies and gentlemen?

02:25:05.000 Yeah, this is crazy.

02:25:06.000 This is crazy.

02:25:07.000 Look how long this goes.

02:25:08.000 I'll send this to you, Jamie.

02:25:10.000 I'll airdrop it to you.

02:25:11.000 Because people need to see this.

02:25:12.000 Because a lot of people think, like, oh, you're exaggerating.

02:25:15.000 It's not that big a deal.

02:25:16.000 No, it's bad.

02:25:17.000 It's not that big a deal.

02:25:19.000 Here, young Jamie.

02:25:20.000 It's on the way to you.

02:25:23.000 It's not good.

02:25:24.000 It's a fairly long video.

02:25:27.000 It's sent already?

02:25:32.000 Oh.

02:25:32.000 This is the thing that Android's missing.

02:25:35.000 AirDrop. 0.99

02:25:35.000 They can eat shit as long as there's AirDrop. 0.99

02:25:38.000 And as long as Apple's better with privacy, they can eat shit. 1.00

02:25:43.000 You can't put it up there? 1.00

02:25:46.000 Check this out.

02:25:47.000 Watch this.

02:25:48.000 Let's watch how long this is.

02:25:50.000 This is like a minute-long video.

02:25:53.000 And watch.

02:25:54.000 Here we go.

02:25:55.000 10, [...

02:26:15.000 And you fast forward, it keeps going.

02:26:17.000 It keeps going. 0.99

02:26:18.000 Like, this is a long fucking video. 0.99

02:26:21.000 It's more than a minute long. 0.99

02:26:22.000 And it's just all tense.

02:26:24.000 It's crazy.

02:26:26.000 And that's just some of it.

02:26:27.000 That's just some of it.

02:26:28.000 Yeah, there's real bad problems, and there's no good ways to solve them right now.

02:26:33.000 How do you fix that?

02:26:34.000 Nobody knows how to fit. 0.97

02:26:35.000 Well, they're doing this dumb shit like putting boulders under the things, and you can't do that. 0.97

02:26:38.000 You're just going to make them move, and then they're going to be somewhere else with a tent. 0.99

02:26:42.000 I guess you fix your mental health care.

02:26:43.000 The problem is they keep trying to build this low-cost housing, but I think it's like $740,000 per unit of low-cost housing.

02:26:49.000 I was like, why is it costing that much?

02:26:51.000 There's so much regulation and red tape.

02:26:52.000 And they won't let them do drugs there, so they leave. 0.98

02:26:55.000 And if you don't make it illegal for them to just have tents on fucking sidewalks where you can't walk around, you've got to walk on the highway because there's fucking tents everywhere. 0.98

02:27:06.000 What about mental health care? 0.98

02:27:07.000 But that's still a long play.

02:27:09.000 That's not going to fix anything overnight.

02:27:11.000 What did you say? 0.98

02:27:11.000 Shoot them? 0.98

02:27:11.000 Kill them? 0.98

02:27:12.000 Is that what you just said? 1.00

02:27:13.000 Well, a mental health care clinic that they would walk into thinking it's a clinic and then you would vaporize them.

02:27:18.000 I don't know what's going to fix it.

02:27:20.000 I don't know either.

02:27:20.000 I think it's one of those things where it got too far.

02:27:23.000 It went too far.

02:27:23.000 It's too far gone.

02:27:25.000 They didn't have a few tents and they said, hey folks, what's wrong?

02:27:29.000 Can we help?

02:27:30.000 Let's put together a program to help these people.

02:27:33.000 And then COVID came along and everything magnified by 10. Yeah, the system seems to be buckling in certain places.

02:27:39.000 And that's one of the places it seems to be buckling the most noticeably is in Los Angeles. 1.00

02:27:44.000 And the people with money are just like, fuck this. 0.99

02:27:46.000 The people with money are out of it. 1.00

02:27:47.000 They're just completely...

02:27:48.000 I was in the Hamptons.

02:27:50.000 I spoke to some guy in the Hamptons.

02:27:51.000 He had no idea what was going on.

02:27:53.000 He said to me, he's like, aren't all these problems on Twitter?

02:27:55.000 Are these real problems?

02:27:56.000 I'm like, no, they're real problems.

02:27:57.000 But they're out.

02:27:58.000 They're out to lunch.

02:27:59.000 People that are just insulated by their own social circle or wherever they are.

02:28:04.000 But I mean...

02:28:05.000 You know, these problems, whether it's the fires, the economy, the homeless people, it's a perfect storm, and Los Angeles is just in deep, deep trouble, and they're not opening up anytime soon.

02:28:16.000 It's so poorly managed.

02:28:18.000 Very poorly managed. 0.99

02:28:19.000 I didn't realize how important it is to have a good mayor until I saw this shit happen, and a good governor. 0.98

02:28:24.000 Well, if you want to feel better about Los Angeles, go right over to New York City, and Bill de Blasio has destroyed 15 years of progress in five months. 0.98

02:28:33.000 He really has.

02:28:34.000 Yeah.

02:28:35.000 It's crazy.

02:28:35.000 Absolutely.

02:28:36.000 It's crazy.

02:28:36.000 That city right now, at night, does not feel fun to walk around in.

02:28:40.000 Yeah, tell me what it was like.

02:28:41.000 Well, it was weird.

02:28:42.000 We had an Airbnb.

02:28:43.000 Me and the dude who opens for me, we had an Airbnb.

02:28:46.000 A beautiful apartment, but it was in Hell's Kitchen right by Times Square.

02:28:50.000 But we were in one of those high-rises.

02:28:52.000 I said, you know, we're all the way up, you know.

02:28:55.000 And then the Uber, we got in an Uber that was a hazmat.

02:28:57.000 It was wrapped in, you know, literally ducked.

02:28:59.000 The guy was in a hazmat suit in the Uber.

02:29:01.000 The Uber was like cellophane wrapped, like, you know, the partition.

02:29:05.000 It was from 12 Monkeys.

02:29:07.000 Remember that movie of Bruce Willis?

02:29:08.000 That's exactly what it was from.

02:29:09.000 And then he dropped us off two blocks from the Uber and, you know, he had a camera.

02:29:12.000 We were filming stuff.

02:29:13.000 And the walk from the Uber to the apartment was...

02:29:17.000 I never felt that way in New York.

02:29:18.000 I mean, it was pretty wild.

02:29:19.000 Like, you were looking at stuff and you were going like, this is teetering on a real big problem.

02:29:25.000 Like, there's just people out in the streets now, you know, if you were a tourist, you would not be...

02:29:30.000 Yeah, that's our Uber driver.

02:29:32.000 If you were a tourist or if you were somebody visiting the city, it would not be a place you would feel comfortable or safe.

02:29:37.000 And they defunded the police by like $100 million, right?

02:29:39.000 Yeah, they're taking money away and they're going to have less cops. 0.98

02:29:41.000 And then instead of trying to figure out and solve some of these problems, they're just trying to like, again, they want to win on Twitter.

02:29:46.000 They want to win the war on Twitter, right?

02:29:48.000 It's like that's what Hillary Clinton, she tried to win the election on Twitter. 0.74

02:29:50.000 That was a big thing.

02:29:51.000 The thing is even the progressives are attacking de Blasio now.

02:29:54.000 Well, they hate him too.

02:29:55.000 Everybody hates him now.

02:29:56.000 He's across the board. 0.99

02:29:58.000 Incompetent. 0.98

02:30:00.000 He eats pizza with a fork. 1.00

02:30:01.000 Yes, and nobody trusts him, and he's an empty-headed goon. 0.94

02:30:06.000 That's a good way to describe him.

02:30:09.000 There's no de Blasio fans now.

02:30:11.000 It's a dark time for New York City, and I don't know how it bounces back.

02:30:14.000 I don't know who's right.

02:30:15.000 James Altucher or Jerry Seinfeld.

02:30:17.000 But that was amusing.

02:30:18.000 They're both wrong because neither one of them are living in New York City.

02:30:21.000 So Jerry Seinfeld has a trillion dollar home in Hampton.

02:30:24.000 And James Altucher is in Florida selling God only knows survivalist kits out of his basement.

02:30:29.000 And I like him.

02:30:30.000 But, you know, I think it just ebbs and flows.

02:30:34.000 I think it's a cycle.

02:30:34.000 I think you're in for some years of darkness.

02:30:36.000 Ari likes it.

02:30:37.000 Good.

02:30:37.000 The artists are going to move in.

02:30:39.000 Yeah, right.

02:30:40.000 Who are the artists, Ari?

02:30:41.000 New York City needs to be gritty.

02:30:42.000 Yeah, who are the artists?

02:30:43.000 The TikToker?

02:30:44.000 I mean, come on.

02:30:45.000 TikTokers are moving in. 1.00

02:30:46.000 They're going to take over.

02:30:46.000 Yeah, that's what we need.

02:30:47.000 We need punk rockers. 1.00

02:30:48.000 Yeah.

02:30:49.000 I think that's possible that it happens in a few years.

02:30:52.000 Things get bad.

02:30:52.000 Lower the rents.

02:30:53.000 Right.

02:30:53.000 Lower the rents.

02:30:54.000 The artists come in.

02:30:56.000 And then maybe, listen, then you see architects start taking big chances again.

02:31:00.000 Because the rents are cheaper.

02:31:01.000 They start building cool buildings, reinventing public spaces.

02:31:04.000 There's some type of renaissance.

02:31:05.000 I mean, look, after World War II, we had a real big boom in the 50s.

02:31:08.000 They're going to need a Giuliani.

02:31:09.000 Well, they're going to need somebody.

02:31:11.000 They're going to need someone like that. 0.99

02:31:11.000 And so is L.A. L.A.'s going to need some guy who comes in and puts his fucking foot down. 0.99

02:31:15.000 And it'll have to get really bad before that. 0.98

02:31:17.000 You know, when Giuliani got elected, I think it was in 1990, there was like 29 or 3,000 homicides in Manhattan.

02:31:24.000 That's a big difference.

02:31:25.000 29 or 3,000 homicides.

02:31:26.000 No, it was 2,900 or 3,000.

02:31:29.000 Literally, it was almost 3,000 homicides, and then we got it down to like 400 or 500 a year.

02:31:35.000 That's a massive difference in the amount of people getting killed.

02:31:38.000 Forget maimed and shot and all these other crimes.

02:31:41.000 Well, the feeling of Times Square, I remember it from back in those days.

02:31:44.000 It was weird.

02:31:46.000 Yeah.

02:31:46.000 You'd be there like, this place is sketchy.

02:31:47.000 Let's get out of here.

02:31:48.000 Now, it was like a mall. 0.93

02:31:50.000 And Giuliani, he did a great job, but because he's kind of a little bit of a cretin and a lot of people forgot how bad it was, they don't give him any of the credit for that. 0.95

02:31:59.000 They say all of the credit's to go to somebody else, but the reality was it was a lot of the new initiatives that he kind of...

02:32:04.000 Broadforward.

02:32:05.000 Well, here's the thing.

02:32:06.000 As much as you like to think progressively and be a person who's open-minded, that's who I am.

02:32:13.000 Yeah, not me.

02:32:13.000 You need law and order.

02:32:15.000 You do.

02:32:15.000 You need a civilization.

02:32:16.000 You fucking need it. 0.99

02:32:17.000 You need rules. 1.00

02:32:18.000 We need a society.

02:32:19.000 And you need punishment for people who break those rules.

02:32:21.000 We need to have a society.

02:32:22.000 Otherwise, we have nothing else.

02:32:23.000 That's why the amount of people that...

02:32:26.000 Glorify or excuse random acts of violence against people and private property in the pursuit of a political aim to me.

02:32:33.000 That is the single craziest development in my life, I'm 35, that I've seen, that the media and even political figures excuse random violence and chaos against innocent people and their property in service of an overall political point.

02:32:49.000 That is crazy.

02:32:50.000 CNN, yeah.

02:32:51.000 See, Chris Cuomo, since when does a protest have to be peaceful?

02:32:55.000 That's crazy.

02:32:56.000 See, that is a crazy thing to say.

02:32:59.000 Do you think someone scripts that for him?

02:33:02.000 Someone says that?

02:33:03.000 I don't know.

02:33:03.000 How does that work?

02:33:04.000 I don't know, but I don't think it's scripted.

02:33:06.000 I think he has a mind virus. 1.00

02:33:10.000 I think he's sick. 1.00

02:33:11.000 I think they're all sick and something's eating their brains. 0.84

02:33:14.000 And I think they all think that when the revolution or whatever happens, they want to be... 0.99

02:33:19.000 I want to be the good white guy who said, go out there and burn it all down. 0.75

02:33:22.000 I'm your friend. 0.93

02:33:24.000 Remember me? 0.52

02:33:25.000 Even though I'm a rich white guy and you don't like them, I told you to burn it down.

02:33:29.000 We're good, right?

02:33:30.000 We're not.

02:33:31.000 They're gonna get you too. 1.00

02:33:32.000 You're their enemy too, dummy. 0.99

02:33:34.000 You know what they are? 0.79

02:33:35.000 You remember that video where there's these kids in the house and they're watching these people march by and they give them the thumbs up and people start throwing rocks to their window?

02:33:42.000 But we agree with you!

02:33:43.000 Hey, I'm on your side!

02:33:44.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

02:33:45.000 When you unleash chaos...

02:33:47.000 You're inviting chaos.

02:33:48.000 Yes.

02:33:49.000 There's no way to contain it.

02:33:50.000 And I think the Cuomas of the world and all of those people are trying to marshal the forces that they're opening up. 1.00

02:33:56.000 A comedian friend of mine, Yanis Papa, said it.

02:33:58.000 He goes, they're opening up the gates of hell.

02:34:00.000 They're opening up the gates of hell and then they're trying to instruct everybody where to go and how bad the fires are going to get.

02:34:06.000 And it's like, dude, when you open up those gates, you have no idea what's going to happen.

02:34:10.000 November 3rd.

02:34:11.000 We'll talk.

02:34:12.000 Let's go.

02:34:13.000 Let's make it happen.

02:34:13.000 Let's go!
