The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #1636 - Colion Noir

00:00:14.000 What's up?

00:00:15.000 How are you?

00:00:15.000 What's here, man?

00:00:16.000 Dude, you're a resident gun nut.

00:00:18.000 Hey, I take it.

00:00:18.000 Like, anytime there's a gun issue, you're my go-to guy.

00:00:21.000 I'm not gonna argue with that.

00:00:23.000 Nobody knows more.

00:00:25.000 I don't know anybody.

00:00:26.000 I mean, there might be a dude out there, but he's probably dangerous.

00:00:28.000 I mean, I probably learned a lot from him anyway, so.

00:00:33.000 So what's happening, man?

00:00:34.000 How's everything?

00:00:35.000 Ah, nothing much, man.

00:00:36.000 I'm glad to have you so close now.

00:00:37.000 Yeah.

00:00:38.000 Yeah, we're state residents now.

00:00:40.000 How far is the drive from Dallas?

00:00:40.000 Yeah, you are.

00:00:43.000 The way I do it or the way no people do it.

00:00:45.000 You shouldn't say that on the air, man.

00:00:47.000 There's a lot of cops out here.

00:00:49.000 I do it fast legally.

00:00:50.000 How do you do that?

00:00:51.000 I mean, that's another story. 1.00

00:00:53.000 What do you have, a fucking jet? 1.00

00:00:54.000 I mean... 1.00

00:00:55.000 Jet on land.

00:00:58.000 Yeah, but that's not legal.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, I mean...

00:01:01.000 There's a speed limit, sir.

00:01:02.000 I'm a lawyer, man.

00:01:03.000 Oh, okay, okay.

00:01:05.000 Let's leave it at that.

00:01:06.000 You know, Montana didn't have a speed limit for a long time.

00:01:09.000 They had no speed limit. 0.99

00:01:10.000 They were like, we don't give a fuck up here. 0.98

00:01:12.000 Dude, that sounds like my place to be. 0.99

00:01:14.000 Yeah.

00:01:14.000 Montana's pretty badass, but I think they had to get a speed limit to get some federal funding or something like that.

00:01:21.000 Sounds about right. 1.00

00:01:22.000 Yeah, the federal government's like, look, enough of this shit. 1.00

00:01:24.000 People are going up there to test cars. 0.99

00:01:26.000 I mean, look, Jeremy, they have the Autobahn.

00:01:28.000 I know.

00:01:29.000 Right?

00:01:29.000 Just let me...

00:01:32.000 Look, it's getting ridiculous.

00:01:33.000 In my car right now, I have a radar detector that's built in.

00:01:37.000 And then I have a radar detector I keep on my little dash.

00:01:41.000 You have a double radar?

00:01:42.000 Yeah.

00:01:42.000 Is this the Ferrari?

00:01:44.000 No, no, no, no.

00:01:45.000 This is the Turbo S. I have a 2014 Turbo S. That's a ridiculously fast car. 0.98

00:01:53.000 And then the 2022 makes that thing seem like a goddamn Prius. 1.00

00:01:58.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:01:59.000 It's so crazy. 1.00

00:02:00.000 And that thing is so god awful.

00:02:02.000 2.5 seconds!

00:02:03.000 2.5 seconds 0 to 60. I have to wonder, where do you go from there?

00:02:09.000 We're going.

00:02:10.000 Wherever it is, we're going.

00:02:12.000 Tesla is where we're going.

00:02:14.000 This is true.

00:02:15.000 I remember we had this conversation before.

00:02:18.000 My Tesla is preposterous, man.

00:02:20.000 My Tesla is faster than the 2022 Turbo S. Faster.

00:02:26.000 2.4 seconds, zero to 60. So it's a tenth of a second faster, zero to 60. And it feels like it, dude.

00:02:32.000 I'm still fighting it.

00:02:33.000 I know.

00:02:33.000 I'm still fighting it.

00:02:34.000 Listen, man, I have a regular car, too.

00:02:37.000 I have a couple regular cars.

00:02:38.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:02:39.000 That sound, the sound of a real combustion engine is the shit. 1.00

00:02:43.000 I'm still full of shit, though, because the Turbo S sounds like a damn Dyson vacuum. 1.00

00:02:46.000 That's true. 1.00

00:02:47.000 It does, right?

00:02:47.000 It does.

00:02:49.000 It's like, so I'm kind of, yeah, I'm kind of contradicting myself in a lot of ways in that manner.

00:02:53.000 They said they're never going to make the 911 electric, though.

00:02:57.000 I mean, they just released the 992 GT3, which is naturally aspirated, rear-wheel drive.

00:02:57.000 That's good to know.

00:03:04.000 Look at that.

00:03:05.000 I just put in an order for it.

00:03:07.000 Did you?

00:03:07.000 Yeah, I did.

00:03:08.000 Look at that.

00:03:10.000 I love the rear steering.

00:03:12.000 The funny thing is, when they released it initially, I hated it.

00:03:16.000 The rear steering?

00:03:17.000 No, the car.

00:03:18.000 Really?

00:03:18.000 How could you hate that?

00:03:19.000 Because the 991 GT3, I loved...

00:03:22.000 How proportionate the wing was to the rest of the body.

00:03:25.000 It just seemed like it was part of it.

00:03:26.000 And when they went with the swan neck spoiler, I hated it because it seemed disjointed.

00:03:31.000 You got any other pictures of this, Jeremy, with that spoiler?

00:03:34.000 The thing's dope.

00:03:35.000 Now I think it's beautiful.

00:03:38.000 It's a really amazing company if you think of Porsche.

00:03:40.000 They've taken this one car from the 1960s and they've just consistently updated it.

00:03:45.000 There's no other car company like it.

00:03:47.000 Not at all.

00:03:48.000 Even Corvettes now are mid-engine, right?

00:03:51.000 Corvette looks like a Ferrari now.

00:03:53.000 From what I understand, initially the design of Corvette was to be mid-engine.

00:03:58.000 Really?

00:03:58.000 Yeah, from what I've learned.

00:04:00.000 Okay, that looks pretty dope.

00:04:01.000 I think the 992, the rear end of the 992 is probably the best rear end on a vehicle out right now.

00:04:09.000 It's pretty sick.

00:04:10.000 Especially with that uninterrupted light bar in the back.

00:04:14.000 It's just...

00:04:15.000 Pretty smart of them, too, to make them all wide-body, too. 0.99

00:04:18.000 It's like, nobody wants that narrow bitch. 1.00

00:04:21.000 Skinny bitch. 1.00

00:04:22.000 I'm not a fan of that front hood, though. 1.00

00:04:24.000 Why?

00:04:25.000 I don't know.

00:04:26.000 Somebody said it looks like a Mario's brother character.

00:04:26.000 It just looks...

00:04:31.000 It just doesn't look as good as, like, if you go with the 991 GT2 RS hood.

00:04:38.000 Uh-huh.

00:04:38.000 You know, like, that kind of hood is just...

00:04:40.000 It just seems better.

00:04:40.000 I don't know.

00:04:41.000 That seems...

00:04:42.000 It seems odd, those weird creases, but maybe I'll get used to it.

00:04:46.000 The interior is spectacular.

00:04:48.000 They killed it on the interior.

00:04:50.000 Usually portion interiors are really Spartan in a kind of uninspiring way.

00:04:55.000 Now, it's a beautiful balance of practicality.

00:05:00.000 I can't say that word for someone.

00:05:01.000 What the hell is wrong with me?

00:05:03.000 Practicality.

00:05:04.000 That's a weird one.

00:05:06.000 But then also still feeling very luxurious without being ostentatious.

00:05:12.000 And it's a manual. 0.99

00:05:14.000 You can get a fucking manual. 1.00

00:05:17.000 Look at that wheel, too. 1.00

00:05:17.000 So... 1.00

00:05:18.000 About that.

00:05:19.000 About that.

00:05:20.000 You're not into that?

00:05:21.000 I am and I'm not.

00:05:22.000 I think sometimes people make much to do about nothing with respect to manuals.

00:05:25.000 I think it's kind of the cool thing to do is to be like, yeah, I got a manual.

00:05:29.000 Yeah, like a man.

00:05:30.000 Yeah.

00:05:30.000 Yeah, that's me.

00:05:32.000 I feel you.

00:05:33.000 That's me, bro.

00:05:33.000 But sometimes I wonder, because it's like, it could be synonymous to arguing about having a Nikkei flip phone.

00:05:38.000 No, no, no, it's not.

00:05:40.000 No, this is why.

00:05:41.000 Because it feels good to use.

00:05:43.000 A flip phone is goofy.

00:05:45.000 But I'll tell you what, I haven't used...

00:05:47.000 Well, closing it feels good.

00:05:50.000 You're fired, Jetson!

00:05:52.000 Snap that thing shut. 1.00

00:05:53.000 I think what it is for me, because I'm being a little facetious because I do love manuals.

00:05:58.000 The problem is, so I had a 2000...

00:06:03.000 15 Aston Martin Vantage.

00:06:05.000 That was a manual, six-speed manual, which I probably should have held onto now.

00:06:09.000 If you did, it'd probably be breaking down every five minutes.

00:06:12.000 This is true.

00:06:14.000 But it would have held its value a lot more than Aston Martin's typically do.

00:06:19.000 But I remember I used to love it because I would just run it through the gate and it had a really heavy clutch and a really high bite point.

00:06:25.000 So generally speaking, it's terrible.

00:06:26.000 But I got so used to it that I love it now.

00:06:29.000 And except for one, there was one day I was driving, I was coming back.

00:06:32.000 I think I was on 35. Everybody from Dallas knows 35 is trash. 0.99

00:06:36.000 And I'm on 35 during rush hour. 0.98

00:06:38.000 It took me two and a half hours to get home.

00:06:41.000 Oh.

00:06:42.000 After that, I literally got home.

00:06:43.000 I put it up.

00:06:43.000 I was like, I'm selling this car.

00:06:45.000 I want nothing to do with it.

00:06:48.000 That's how bad that experience was.

00:06:50.000 That I can understand.

00:06:51.000 Yeah.

00:06:51.000 If you don't have another car and you live in a place with traffic, I get it.

00:06:56.000 Yeah.

00:06:56.000 That's not what you want.

00:06:58.000 You want an automatic for that.

00:06:58.000 It's bad.

00:06:59.000 Yeah, it's the difference between just chilling and being super annoyed for two hours.

00:07:06.000 For two hours straight. 0.99

00:07:07.000 And if you have a stiff clutch, then your left leg gets a little tired, then you feel like a real bitch. 0.99

00:07:12.000 You're like, I can't believe I'm getting sore. 0.96

00:07:15.000 I'm getting some lactic acid build up in my left leg by pushing on my clutch.

00:07:20.000 Now, if I lived in Austin, I think I would have still had a manual.

00:07:23.000 The traffic here is a joke.

00:07:23.000 Yeah.

00:07:24.000 Yeah.

00:07:25.000 But, I mean, at least I have somewhere to go to.

00:07:27.000 Like, you know, I can run off into the hills, hill country, and drive around those roads there.

00:07:31.000 Where in Dallas, I mean, I can't.

00:07:33.000 There's nowhere for me to really just drive for the sake of driving.

00:07:37.000 I got to tell you, though, there's a lot of cops out here.

00:07:39.000 Oh, yeah, there are.

00:07:40.000 There are.

00:07:41.000 A lot of cops waiting around the bus people.

00:07:43.000 But the beautiful thing about having, for instance, like the really curvy roads, you know, the winds and twisty roads...

00:07:49.000 You have a great time going 40, 50 miles an hour.

00:07:51.000 Yes, that's true.

00:07:52.000 Yeah, you do.

00:07:52.000 You know what I mean?

00:07:53.000 You feel it.

00:07:54.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:55.000 And in a car like that, that's what it's all about.

00:07:58.000 Exactly.

00:07:58.000 I love driving manuals.

00:08:01.000 It's not just a meathead thing.

00:08:03.000 I have a 2005 E46 M3, and that's not even that fast.

00:08:09.000 It's not.

00:08:10.000 But I love it.

00:08:11.000 That's classic. 0.56

00:08:12.000 I mean, that is when BMW was B and fucking W. Yeah, it's hard to describe to people that aren't car nuts, but there's an intangible feeling of connectedness to that car when I drive it. 0.71

00:08:26.000 I don't have to be going fast, but I do go fast sometimes. 0.66

00:08:29.000 But it's not even that, though.

00:08:31.000 It's the way the car gives you feedback.

00:08:35.000 And it gives you feedback in my GT3 RS. I have a 2007 GT3 RS. That car is basically like, you shouldn't be able to drive it on the street.

00:08:44.000 It's a preposterous car.

00:08:46.000 518 horsepower.

00:08:47.000 It's a Shark Works car.

00:08:48.000 It sounds like a dragon.

00:08:50.000 And it's so fast.

00:08:52.000 But it's much more rowdy.

00:08:55.000 It's got a real stiff clutch.

00:08:57.000 And that car, it's a thing.

00:09:00.000 You're doing a thing.

00:09:01.000 It's not really transportation.

00:09:02.000 The BMW is transportation, but it's like engaging transportation.

00:09:06.000 I mean, it literally was the reason why, when I was looking at my 14 Turbo S now, I was going back and forth between the 14 or 15, or the 15, because 14 is when the engines were blowing up, but the 15 GT3 versus the Turbo S. And I was going back and forth,

00:09:21.000 and I'm like, man, I love how...

00:09:24.000 The sensorial effects of the GT3 are just phenomenal.

00:09:26.000 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 And then I got into the Turbo S and I realized for my lifestyle, living here in Dallas in the city, it makes more sense to get the Turbo S. Yeah.

00:09:35.000 And it's like a time machine.

00:09:37.000 The way it gets from point A to point B, it's... 1.00

00:09:40.000 I may or may not have, with my business partner, launch controlled the son of a bitch. 0.99

00:09:46.000 May or may not have. 0.99

00:09:47.000 I may or may not.

00:09:48.000 You probably did.

00:09:48.000 No, I didn't.

00:09:49.000 I don't think you did.

00:09:49.000 But he did mention something about feeling like he was on a roller coaster.

00:09:52.000 Yeah, man, that's what they do feel like when they push you back.

00:09:54.000 And what's crazy is it's a full second faster for the 2022. A full second zero to 60, which is so nuts.

00:10:02.000 Like, to anybody get in that car and say, this is not enough.

00:10:05.000 No.

00:10:05.000 Well, that's what Elon's done with the new Teslas.

00:10:07.000 My car goes 0-60 in 2.4 seconds.

00:10:10.000 I have a 2019 or something, 2020 P100D, right?

00:10:17.000 Model S, P100D, is that what they say it?

00:10:19.000 And the new one, the Plaid version, goes 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

00:10:27.000 That's the 2022. I mean, the only next step to go to is flight.

00:10:32.000 Well, I think he's going to get it to 1.5 in the Roadster.

00:10:36.000 And then we'll do flying cars.

00:10:38.000 I mean, it'll probably get to one second, zero to 60 soon.

00:10:38.000 Yeah.

00:10:44.000 We will see that in our life.

00:10:45.000 We'll see one second, zero to 60. Now, what is that going to do to the body?

00:10:50.000 The human body?

00:10:51.000 We're going to get to a point where the Gs start affecting the human body.

00:10:55.000 Right, people start throwing up.

00:10:56.000 Have you ever been in a jet, like a fighter jet?

00:10:58.000 No, I refuse.

00:10:59.000 You refuse?

00:11:02.000 But you like speed.

00:11:03.000 I do.

00:11:04.000 I am a walking contradiction.

00:11:04.000 That's a weird thing.

00:11:07.000 At least you know it.

00:11:08.000 Man, I will go...

00:11:09.000 I'm not saying I've done this, but theoretically speaking, I will go 135 down a freeway, right?

00:11:16.000 Balls to the wall.

00:11:17.000 Put me in a helicopter to hunt hogs.

00:11:19.000 Not happening to me.

00:11:20.000 You're not interested in that?

00:11:21.000 Nope.

00:11:21.000 Because helicopters crash.

00:11:23.000 I just know too much about helicopter crashes.

00:11:24.000 They do crash.

00:11:25.000 They do crash.

00:11:26.000 But if you're in a helicopter with someone who's a really good pilot, who knows they're doing it, it's well maintained, the odds are very low that you're going to crash.

00:11:35.000 There's nothing rational about my fear. 0.98

00:11:38.000 It's dumb, unmitigated fear. 0.97

00:11:41.000 It just makes no sense. 1.00

00:11:43.000 There is a thing, though, that if you crash and die while hunting hogs, people will celebrate your death.

00:11:48.000 That is a fact.

00:11:50.000 There's a certain number of people out there.

00:11:52.000 If you crash going to bring water to Botswana, people are like, oh my god, he was an amazing person. 1.00

00:11:59.000 If you crash eradicating feral hogs in Texas, they're like, you piece of shit. 1.00

00:12:08.000 For sure, right? 1.00

00:12:09.000 This is true.

00:12:10.000 Even though they have to do it, and that's one of the most effective ways to do it.

00:12:13.000 I mean, I'm celebrated and hated right now at the moment.

00:12:17.000 Well, tell me about this, because you did your first hunt.

00:12:20.000 You hunted a bison.

00:12:22.000 Ethical kill, beautiful big animal. 0.61

00:12:24.000 You'll have fantastic meat for a year.

00:12:27.000 You'll be able to give it to your friends and family.

00:12:29.000 What's the problem?

00:12:30.000 I don't know.

00:12:32.000 Like, I've been a two-way advocate for what, 15, close 15, 16 years?

00:12:37.000 For you nerds out there, that's Second Amendment.

00:12:39.000 Yeah.

00:12:40.000 Right to bear arms.

00:12:41.000 Gun.

00:12:41.000 PPU. Jamie's got a gun.

00:12:43.000 You got a gun, Jamie?

00:12:46.000 I'm missing parts of it.

00:12:47.000 Wait, how long have you been in Texas?

00:12:48.000 He got a gun with the first month.

00:12:50.000 Tim Kennedy gave him the first week.

00:12:52.000 Was that our first week?

00:12:53.000 You should be about five or six right now.

00:12:56.000 We've got to bump those rookie numbers up.

00:12:57.000 I got three this week.

00:12:58.000 Did you get one a week?

00:13:00.000 I did get three this week.

00:13:01.000 I've got more shoes since I've been here.

00:13:05.000 Jamie's a sneakerhead.

00:13:06.000 I'm a transient sneakerhead.

00:13:08.000 I'm a nostalgic sneakerhead.

00:13:10.000 Oh, you like the old school ones?

00:13:11.000 Well, just the shoes that I couldn't buy when I was younger.

00:13:13.000 Now that I have a little bit of money, I'm like, okay, yeah, let me get these.

00:13:16.000 I just bought the Reebok Questions, the Allen Iversons.

00:13:19.000 Oh, those are good.

00:13:21.000 I'm generally not a Reebok fan, but those are pretty dope looking.

00:13:24.000 I remember those.

00:13:26.000 I mean, I was obsessed with Iversons.

00:13:27.000 But yeah, man, I go on this hunt.

00:13:31.000 I've hunted hogs, but just a real hunt.

00:13:35.000 Real hunt.

00:13:36.000 Even though hunting hogs is a real hunt.

00:13:36.000 Real hunt.

00:13:38.000 That's a real hunt.

00:13:39.000 I won't give people the misconception that it's not real.

00:13:41.000 There's a lot of them.

00:13:43.000 Exactly.

00:13:43.000 In Texas, it's kind of like what you do because there are just so many of them and they're causing so much damage.

00:13:49.000 And so my ammo sponsor, Nosler, they were like, hey, look.

00:13:55.000 You want to come on a bison hunt?

00:13:56.000 We have an opportunity.

00:13:57.000 We have a spot for you to go on a bison hunt.

00:13:58.000 By the way, they have a rifle coming for you.

00:14:00.000 Yeah, that's number three for the week.

00:14:02.000 At the range right now.

00:14:04.000 It's hilarious.

00:14:05.000 So it would literally be the same rifle that I used to hunt my buffalo with.

00:14:10.000 So we go there, and so I'm like, yeah, cool, let's do it, right?

00:14:14.000 I'm like, fine, let's go hunt a buffalo.

00:14:16.000 And I've always looked at buffaloes as being very majestic.

00:14:19.000 They're just majestic animals.

00:14:21.000 Like, I... They're beautiful.

00:14:23.000 Yeah, they're amazing.

00:14:24.000 And I also love bison burgers.

00:14:27.000 So for me, it just made sense.

00:14:29.000 I'm like, okay, so let me get this straight.

00:14:30.000 You have a guy who 90% of the time Uber eats his food.

00:14:35.000 That's what you do?

00:14:35.000 90% of the time?

00:14:36.000 Yeah.

00:14:37.000 90?

00:14:38.000 It's bad, bro.

00:14:39.000 It's pretty bad.

00:14:39.000 Do you trust those dudes?

00:14:40.000 No.

00:14:40.000 They're going to pick your fries?

00:14:41.000 I don't trust them at all.

00:14:43.000 I do it anyway?

00:14:44.000 Yeah.

00:14:46.000 It's purely out of convenience.

00:14:47.000 It's a time thing for me.

00:14:49.000 Because it's like my whole day is so filled.

00:14:49.000 I get it.

00:14:51.000 It's literally the moment I wake up, I've got to make every aspect of my life as efficient as possible.

00:14:56.000 I get it.

00:14:57.000 But, you know, I've always said, you know, my dad was an executive chef.

00:15:01.000 And so for me, I've always said, you know what, I'm going to sit down and just really learn how to cook.

00:15:05.000 Right?

00:15:06.000 And so I was like, what better way to start than cooking my own bison meat?

00:15:10.000 Right?

00:15:10.000 Perfect.

00:15:11.000 So I had all the perfect justifications and reasons to go on a bison hunt.

00:15:14.000 So I go on a bison hunt.

00:15:16.000 And I remember we're driving.

00:15:21.000 So, like, the place is expansive.

00:15:23.000 Like, it's huge.

00:15:24.000 It was in Pueblo, Colorado.

00:15:27.000 And so it was freaking beautiful, man.

00:15:30.000 And so we're going and we're looking for the bison.

00:15:33.000 And we finally find there's like four of them, four older males that apparently they're no longer breeding or mating or anything like that.

00:15:41.000 They're just really honestly causing havoc. 0.97

00:15:43.000 They're killing other buffalo and, you know, shit like that. 0.99

00:15:43.000 Right. 0.99

00:15:47.000 I learned really quickly that buffaloes are assholes. 1.00

00:15:50.000 Assholes. 1.00

00:15:51.000 Assholes. 1.00

00:15:51.000 We'll get into that in a bit because it's a good part of your story. 1.00

00:15:54.000 So we're sitting there and so we find buffalo.

00:15:58.000 So we got to figure out how to approach them, right?

00:16:00.000 Because we don't want to spook them, right?

00:16:02.000 And they're very skittish.

00:16:05.000 Very skittish.

00:16:06.000 And so what we did was we decided, because it was very hilly, and so we decided, all right, so we're going to walk around the hill, come up over the crest of the hill, and then take the shot from there.

00:16:14.000 So we walked, trekked around the hill, went up the hill, got situated.

00:16:21.000 You have a guide?

00:16:23.000 Yeah, we have a guide.

00:16:24.000 And set the gun down.

00:16:26.000 And the guys, when we were on the way to the place where we were going to go hunt, he was like, look, you're going to get what they call buck fever.

00:16:32.000 You know what that is?

00:16:34.000 He's like, you're going to get buck fever.

00:16:35.000 You're going to get anxious.

00:16:37.000 Your part's going to start pounding, especially when you see the animal through your optics.

00:16:40.000 You're talking to somebody who's, for the better half of 10 years, been shooting at steel targets and paper.

00:16:46.000 So I was like, okay, good to know.

00:16:50.000 So we sat down, get the rifle up there.

00:16:52.000 I didn't get buck fever.

00:16:54.000 It was weird.

00:16:55.000 I got extremely calm.

00:16:57.000 Extremely calm.

00:16:58.000 It was extremely quiet.

00:17:00.000 And I remember looking through the optic and seeing the buffalo.

00:17:04.000 Because at this point it was broadside initially.

00:17:10.000 And then it turned.

00:17:12.000 And so literally he and I were looking at each other through the optic.

00:17:17.000 Oh, wow.

00:17:18.000 Yeah.

00:17:18.000 And so it was an interesting experience.

00:17:20.000 It was different.

00:17:23.000 Because in a weird way, I developed an insatiable amount of respect for the Buffalo during this whole process.

00:17:29.000 I don't even know really quite how to explain it.

00:17:32.000 You're more of 100 than I am, so maybe you can tell me.

00:17:35.000 But I remember taking the shot.

00:17:38.000 He did not go down instantly.

00:17:40.000 So I had to take another shot.

00:17:42.000 Here's where it got interesting.

00:17:45.000 Soon as you could see he starts bleeding a little bit, so you know he's getting ready to go down.

00:17:50.000 The three buffalo that he was with, these were supposed to be his friends.

00:17:55.000 At least that's what I thought.

00:17:58.000 Soon as they catch one of the fact that he's hurt, the three of them start chasing him.

00:18:04.000 And they start coming up to attack him.

00:18:06.000 I mean, they have their horns and they're trying to gore him.

00:18:08.000 And I'm like, what the hell's going on?

00:18:10.000 And guys are like, that's what they do.

00:18:12.000 The moment they sense weakness in a bigger buck, they attack him.

00:18:15.000 Almost as if to say...

00:18:16.000 Yeah, you gotta call them bulls.

00:18:17.000 Bulls, yeah, I get confused, yeah.

00:18:19.000 My bad, guys.

00:18:20.000 Bulls, yeah.

00:18:21.000 So they attack him, apparently.

00:18:25.000 Almost as if to say, finally, it's my turn now, right?

00:18:28.000 To be the big dog.

00:18:29.000 And so they start attacking.

00:18:31.000 So my bull takes off running. 1.00

00:18:34.000 And I'm like, uh, shit. 1.00

00:18:37.000 We gotta go after this thing now, right? 1.00

00:18:39.000 So now he takes off running, and I can't get another shot off because he's taking off running around another hill.

00:18:44.000 So now we have to dismount, get up, and start following him.

00:18:48.000 And so then we get closer.

00:18:50.000 If he comes back around the other side of the hill, they're still chasing him, and they're goring him the whole time.

00:18:55.000 And so finally, he drops, but he's still kind of on his hind legs a little bit.

00:19:01.000 So I was like, I've got to put this guy out of his misery, right?

00:19:04.000 And I think he's running off pure adrenaline at this point.

00:19:07.000 And so I get down, take the shot, he drops, he's done.

00:19:11.000 Now at this point, the smaller of the three bulls that remains, he's still with my buffalo, right?

00:19:18.000 Kind of like, get up.

00:19:20.000 I dare you.

00:19:21.000 I dare you. 0.97

00:19:22.000 And he's just kind of like, I'm like, what the hell?

00:19:24.000 And then the two bigger bulls are now going at it.

00:19:28.000 I mean, insanely.

00:19:30.000 They're just boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:19:32.000 So I'm like, what the hell?

00:19:34.000 So we can't do anything. 0.86

00:19:35.000 You have to wait.

00:19:36.000 Yeah.

00:19:37.000 So I'm like, so we're like about...

00:19:40.000 70 yards away, just kind of on the top of the hill, just over the crust of the hill, just kind of waiting, because we don't want them to see us, because then their attention is going to turn to something else.

00:19:48.000 So now, at this point, they're going at it.

00:19:50.000 I mean, it's nuts.

00:19:51.000 I got it on video.

00:19:52.000 Oh, wow. 0.98

00:19:53.000 I'm like, they're going to kill each other. 0.79

00:19:53.000 And they're just... 0.79

00:19:55.000 Can you show us the video?

00:19:57.000 I don't have it on me now, but yeah.

00:19:59.000 Yeah, my videographer.

00:20:00.000 Yeah, he has it.

00:20:02.000 So at this point, I'll send it to you if you want it.

00:20:04.000 Okay.

00:20:05.000 And at this point, they stop.

00:20:09.000 And then they do this. 1.00

00:20:11.000 I'm like, oh shit! 1.00

00:20:13.000 He turned and looked at you? 1.00

00:20:14.000 Oh no.

00:20:15.000 And you only have a tag for one buffalo, so it's not like you can shoot them if they run at you.

00:20:20.000 And not only that, I only have one round in my rifle.

00:20:23.000 Oh no!

00:20:24.000 Yeah.

00:20:25.000 That's not good.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, but me being the gun guy that I am, I had a 10mm handgun with me.

00:20:33.000 Did you have a 10mm handgun in case?

00:20:35.000 Yes. 1.00

00:20:36.000 I'm not playing with you fools. 0.99

00:20:38.000 So just in case something goes wrong in the buffalo, do you think you could stop a buffalo with a 10mm handgun? 0.99

00:20:45.000 You don't do an honest truth?

00:20:46.000 Yeah.

00:20:46.000 No.

00:20:47.000 I don't think so.

00:20:48.000 But it's better than not having one.

00:20:52.000 And at bare minimum, I would at least hope that it would make it seem like the buffalo is like, I could keep running through this.

00:21:01.000 But this is harder than it needs to be.

00:21:03.000 So I'm just going to go the other direction.

00:21:06.000 I wonder what a 10mm...

00:21:08.000 Like, when guys hunt bear, or when they hunt in bear country, and they bring a gun, there's a lot of debate about what round to bring.

00:21:17.000 Like, a lot of guys bring a.45.

00:21:18.000 See, I was going to bring a Ruger...

00:21:21.000 I have a Ruger Red Hawk Alaska and.454 Casull.

00:21:24.000 I was going to bring that.

00:21:25.000 The only problem is, my host...

00:21:26.000 I ordered a chest holster for it. 0.99

00:21:29.000 It didn't come in fast enough, damn, shipping. 0.99

00:21:34.000 So it was already gone before it came in. 0.99

00:21:37.000 Right.

00:21:37.000 And so I would have carried that because that, I think, would have done a better job.

00:21:42.000 So you wanted to have it on you, not in a pack.

00:21:44.000 Yeah, no, I wanted it on.

00:21:45.000 Even though you have the rifle, you want it just in case.

00:21:47.000 So there's a...

00:21:48.000 I'm a...

00:21:50.000 I'm a tactical shooter, so to speak, for people who kind of send different types of shooters.

00:21:55.000 I'm not a hunter.

00:21:56.000 I hunt, but I wouldn't consider myself a hunter.

00:21:59.000 I'm more like a tactical shooter.

00:22:00.000 I have ARs, semi-automatic handguns, things of that nature.

00:22:03.000 So you can take the tactical shooter off of the range.

00:22:07.000 You can't take the tactical shooter out of the tactical shooter.

00:22:10.000 You think tactically.

00:22:10.000 Right, right.

00:22:12.000 Exactly.

00:22:13.000 So I'm like, alright, I have my handgun.

00:22:15.000 And then I also, as soon as we, because the other guys were going to get their bull too, I switched out.

00:22:21.000 Instead of having the bolt action, I went and got an AR. And that's what I was carrying the rest of the hunt.

00:22:27.000 Yeah.

00:22:27.000 Oh, really?

00:22:28.000 So, how many guys were you with that were hunting?

00:22:31.000 Three.

00:22:32.000 So, and they all went and got buffaloes as well?

00:22:34.000 Yeah, well, it was me and on the day that I did it, two of us got buffalo.

00:22:39.000 I mean, his hunt was insane.

00:22:42.000 His hunt was freaking insane.

00:22:44.000 Because we spotted them, and so we tried the same thing.

00:22:48.000 We tried to ride around the hill to get up top to...

00:22:52.000 To shoot from there, from that position.

00:22:54.000 However, between us doing that, coming around the hill, they had actually come to the bottom of the hill.

00:23:02.000 So when we peeked over the crest, they caught wind of us and took off.

00:23:07.000 So now what would have been maybe a 100 or 200-yard shot has now turned into a 500-yard shot.

00:23:13.000 So the guy, Garrett, literally was already getting set up.

00:23:18.000 They took off running.

00:23:21.000 He didn't even hesitate.

00:23:22.000 He took off in a full sprint with his bolt-action rifle, takes off, gets in another position.

00:23:27.000 The guide has these binoculars that range find.

00:23:31.000 So he's yelling it out as the buffalo are running.

00:23:33.000 He's like, 300, 400. That's another thing.

00:23:35.000 I didn't know these things could move this fast.

00:23:37.000 They move quickly.

00:23:38.000 They move quickly.

00:23:39.000 Yeah.

00:23:39.000 Like, people who have, like, see, look, all the people, all these city rats who are like me, because I'm a city rat, right?

00:23:45.000 I grew up in the city. 0.96

00:23:45.000 I don't know shit about animals like that, except for what I watch on Netflix when I get drunk. 0.96

00:23:51.000 So, these things move. 0.96

00:23:54.000 And then they cover so much ground because they're so big.

00:23:54.000 They move.

00:23:57.000 So, it's not like their legs are moving that fast.

00:23:59.000 They just cover a lot of ground quickly.

00:24:01.000 And so, the guy's like, 300, 400, 500. And he's...

00:24:07.000 Boom.

00:24:08.000 Drops him.

00:24:09.000 It gets up!

00:24:09.000 Wow.

00:24:11.000 I was like, what in the world?

00:24:13.000 It gets up and starts running again.

00:24:15.000 So now he has to...

00:24:17.000 Now he's like, 560. Boom.

00:24:19.000 Drops him.

00:24:21.000 It gets up again.

00:24:23.000 So I'm like, gosh. 0.96

00:24:25.000 And we're not using bullshit rounds here. 0.97

00:24:27.000 So... 0.72

00:24:28.000 At this point, so now we dismount, we start walking up and getting closer.

00:24:32.000 So I have my little AR with me, and he was with, remember, this is the other two that were fighting before.

00:24:39.000 Because it took us almost three or four hours to find him again.

00:24:43.000 So this time, so after he tagged him, dropped him, now he's up again, his friend is now running back around towards us as we're walking towards him.

00:24:55.000 And so I'm like, oh, but they can't see it from their vantage point because I'm further back.

00:24:59.000 And so I'm just like, hey, his friend is coming!

00:25:03.000 Oh no.

00:25:04.000 Coming to attack?

00:25:05.000 I don't know.

00:25:06.000 I'm a fish out of water here.

00:25:08.000 I just see a buffalo running and I just assume the worst.

00:25:11.000 And so now I'm like, hey!

00:25:13.000 So I start running up and I'm like, so I rack around into my AR. I don't know what the hell this thing's going to do.

00:25:18.000 I'm just preparing for the worst.

00:25:20.000 But long story short, he just kept running.

00:25:22.000 He didn't come to attack.

00:25:24.000 He just kept running.

00:25:25.000 He was kind of disoriented.

00:25:27.000 He's like, you know, where the danger is. 0.99

00:25:28.000 He's like, damn, they killed two of my homeboys already. 0.99

00:25:30.000 So he's gone. 0.99

00:25:33.000 And I remember the Buffalo now is on the ground.

00:25:37.000 And he's trying to stand up.

00:25:39.000 Jesus Christ.

00:25:40.000 And his hits were good. 1.00

00:25:42.000 But man, they are a tough son of bitches, man. 1.00

00:25:45.000 And he drops them. 1.00

00:25:46.000 That's an enormous apple.

00:25:47.000 Oh my God, they're huge.

00:25:48.000 They're so big.

00:25:49.000 They're huge.

00:25:50.000 And all I remember is he hits them again and he drops.

00:25:56.000 And then the buffalo does this.

00:25:58.000 So it's like he's facing this way, right?

00:26:00.000 Drops and the buffalo goes.

00:26:02.000 And just snarls at him. 0.97

00:26:04.000 Yeah, and I'm like...

00:26:04.000 Oh Jesus.

00:26:08.000 It's kind of a G. Oh, for sure.

00:26:10.000 I had so much respect for this thing, man.

00:26:13.000 And, you know, inevitably he ended up dying.

00:26:17.000 But that was my first buffalo hunt, right?

00:26:22.000 First hunt period, right?

00:26:23.000 First hunt.

00:26:24.000 Pretty much, yeah.

00:26:26.000 And then after that, you know, we took the buffalo, got skinned, processed the meat, all that stuff.

00:26:32.000 I'm still waiting for the meat to get here.

00:26:35.000 Yeah, so then I put a video together about all of this that I just told you and put it up on my social media page.

00:26:42.000 That got interesting.

00:26:44.000 There are a lot of people who don't like hunting.

00:26:47.000 Now, do you think these people also ate meat?

00:26:50.000 I'm pretty sure of it.

00:26:52.000 Some of them.

00:26:53.000 I think there were some, because I even put up a question.

00:26:55.000 I said, honestly speaking, honest question, do vegans and anti-hunters get mad at lions?

00:27:03.000 And my whole thing was, I eat meat.

00:27:07.000 I respect people who don't, but I don't see what the problem with me killing my own food is.

00:27:15.000 I'm at a loss here.

00:27:17.000 Was there a common argument against what you were doing?

00:27:21.000 Yeah, a lot of people were saying, some people were not saying that a lot, because the positive was actually overwhelmingly positive, but there was just a noticeable uptick in the negative comments.

00:27:29.000 Isn't that just social media in general, though?

00:27:31.000 Pretty much.

00:27:32.000 Yeah, but I mean, you told me not to read the comments.

00:27:35.000 You did.

00:27:36.000 I did?

00:27:37.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:37.000 Well, you have a fucking giant dead animal, and you're standing there with a rifle. 1.00

00:27:41.000 I'm like, bro. 1.00

00:27:41.000 I never posted that. 1.00

00:27:43.000 Here's the crazy thing.

00:27:44.000 In the video.

00:27:45.000 Oh, that picture you sent me you never posted?

00:27:46.000 No!

00:27:46.000 Oh, okay.

00:27:47.000 No, in the video, you don't even see the actual buffalo get shot.

00:27:51.000 Oh, okay.

00:27:51.000 No!

00:27:52.000 You see me shoot the gun, but you don't see the buffalo get shot.

00:27:55.000 You don't even see the dead buffalo in the video.

00:27:57.000 That's going to make hunters mad.

00:27:59.000 I figured this much.

00:28:00.000 They want to see the hit.

00:28:02.000 I might have to put it on Patreon or something.

00:28:05.000 Just put it on YouTube, man.

00:28:07.000 Just put it on YouTube.

00:28:08.000 Hunters will welcome you to the fold. 0.95

00:28:10.000 First of all, they'll love you because they're already a Second Amendment advocate, a lawyer.

00:28:13.000 That's what happened.

00:28:14.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:28:15.000 That's definitely what happened.

00:28:16.000 And I welcomed it.

00:28:18.000 I really did.

00:28:19.000 Those are the people you want on your side, anyway.

00:28:21.000 They're logical about their food consumption and where it comes from.

00:28:26.000 If you're a meat eater that doesn't support hunting, I just don't know what to tell you.

00:28:30.000 If you don't want to be responsible for your own food, that argument is not going to hold up.

00:28:30.000 I don't either.

00:28:36.000 You could say it if no one's going back and forth with you on social media, and that's what a lot of it is.

00:28:41.000 But it's just a lot of people that don't want to accept the reality of where food comes from.

00:28:45.000 They don't like it.

00:28:47.000 It's uncomfortable for them.

00:28:48.000 And the thing about it is it's like, okay, I get it. 0.92

00:28:51.000 If you don't want to face the reality of it, but to judge me for doing the thing that you don't want to see, even though you benefit from it, from the standpoint of having to kill an animal in order to eat it, I think it's ridiculous. 0.91

00:29:02.000 Dude, whatever you do, there's going to be haters.

00:29:05.000 And as your profiles continue to rise, as you become more and more popular online, your hater count goes up too.

00:29:13.000 Which is true.

00:29:14.000 And I don't account for that, I think.

00:29:16.000 I don't.

00:29:17.000 You have to.

00:29:18.000 And like I said, I did notice a difference.

00:29:22.000 When you told me to stop reading the comments, and I did.

00:29:24.000 I did notice a difference.

00:29:25.000 You feel better, right?

00:29:27.000 I'm like an addict though, right?

00:29:28.000 So it's like, I'll find myself just instinctively...

00:29:33.000 Yeah, that's not healthy.

00:29:34.000 It's not healthy.

00:29:34.000 You know what I mean?

00:29:36.000 Because you'll find one comment that's just ignorant and asshole-ish and it'll fuck with your head and then, you know, you'll be hanging out with your girlfriend or you're having a good time with your friend. 1.00

00:29:36.000 It's not. 1.00

00:29:46.000 You'll be eating dinner and then just think about that one shitty comment. 1.00

00:29:50.000 I'm like, fuck that guy. 1.00

00:29:52.000 The most dangerous is when I'm... 1.00

00:29:54.000 Because I go to bars by myself a lot. 0.99

00:29:56.000 And so I'll be at a bar eating, drinking and there'll be that one comment and I'm like, oh shit, it's coming. 0.98

00:30:03.000 Because at that point, my filter's off. 0.72

00:30:05.000 So I've already got like two drinks in me, and then it's just like...

00:30:08.000 And then you go back and forth with them?

00:30:10.000 Oh, that's bad, bro.

00:30:11.000 Yeah, that's not wise.

00:30:13.000 No, it's not.

00:30:14.000 You want harmony and peace in your life whenever possible.

00:30:18.000 And if you just seek out...

00:30:20.000 The thing about social media is these people are not in your life.

00:30:24.000 You can bring them in your life if you choose to.

00:30:26.000 When you put something online...

00:30:29.000 Those folks that comment, they're not really in your life. 1.00

00:30:31.000 They want to get in there by saying, fuck you, you piece of shit. 1.00

00:30:34.000 Shot that buffalo. 1.00

00:30:35.000 It's a majestic creature.

00:30:36.000 They're almost extinct.

00:30:38.000 We almost lost them all.

00:30:39.000 Which kind of is true. 0.87

00:30:41.000 It is true.

00:30:42.000 At one point in time.

00:30:43.000 The whole point of what we're doing out there was to preserve.

00:30:47.000 I know it seems counterintuitive, but I mean, isn't that how conservation works?

00:30:54.000 Well, people need to understand where the money goes.

00:30:54.000 Yeah.

00:30:57.000 The money goes to habitat enhancement.

00:31:01.000 There's a thing called the Pittman-Robertson Act, or the Robert...

00:31:05.000 What is it?

00:31:07.000 Pittman-Robinson, I think it is.

00:31:09.000 And it's hunters agreed to it, and I believe it's 10%. 0.92

00:31:12.000 So 10% of sales of, whether it's ammunition, hunting licenses, gear, all that shit, goes to conservation.

00:31:22.000 So there's more money raised by hunters for conservation, preservation of wetlands for wild birds, and to pay for people to monitor populations and make sure that The correct amount of tags are allocated so that there's not an over-harvesting. 0.94

00:31:43.000 And then also that animals don't get out of control because if they get out of control, then diseases can spread and a lot of other shit and research about diseases.

00:31:52.000 All that stuff comes from hunting. 0.95

00:31:53.000 And it's not coming from wildlife advocates.

00:31:56.000 It's not coming from PETA or any of these people.

00:32:00.000 Way more money for conservation comes from hunting.

00:32:05.000 I watched a video about why is it so hard to start a business in California.

00:32:13.000 And one of the problems that I think a lot of builders are running into, like real estate development, is you start running into these animal activist groups who will literally try to shut down your project with lawsuits.

00:32:25.000 On the grounds of, you know, this is a natural habitat for such and such and such.

00:32:29.000 But it really honestly is a revenue generating scheme.

00:32:32.000 It's kind of like their way of kind of poaching money from a project through legal means.

00:32:38.000 Yeah, getting you to donate.

00:32:40.000 Exactly.

00:32:40.000 Air quotes.

00:32:41.000 Yeah.

00:32:42.000 It does happen in some situations, especially with large swaths of land.

00:32:47.000 It's almost inevitable.

00:32:49.000 I thought that was very interesting. 1.00

00:32:51.000 California's so fucked in so many ways with that. 0.99

00:32:55.000 Which hurts my heart because the potential there is just amazing. 1.00

00:32:58.000 Well, the problem is, I hate to say it, but there's just too many people.

00:33:02.000 When you get too many people, two things happen.

00:33:04.000 One, everybody is liberal.

00:33:07.000 I don't know why that's the case.

00:33:08.000 That is true.

00:33:09.000 It's the truth.

00:33:10.000 That is very true.

00:33:11.000 New York, California, I think everybody's living together, and so they think they're being compassionate, and I get it.

00:33:19.000 Their heart's in the right place.

00:33:21.000 They think they're doing the right thing.

00:33:23.000 And it's also, whenever you have large populations, you have a large amount of universities.

00:33:28.000 You have people that are teaching at these universities that are almost predominantly liberal, and they're teaching all these people, and a lot of times they're teaching, and it's not from a place of experience in the real world.

00:33:40.000 Their experiences in academia, they went to school, they got out of school, they taught school, and that's their life.

00:33:46.000 And then they're teaching kids, and then they keep teaching kids Marxism, socialism, communist ideals, these ideas about this utopian version of society that can be created, but they don't even live in society.

00:33:58.000 They really don't.

00:34:00.000 They literally live in a microcosm of academia, literally.

00:34:03.000 But that microcosm is currently infecting all these businesses because these people leave, and then they have these ideals that they want to inject into these businesses when they leave.

00:34:12.000 And in their early 20s, they're idealistic.

00:34:15.000 They want to change the world for the better.

00:34:16.000 They want to stomp out all the bad things in the world.

00:34:19.000 They want to reshape it in a more equitable way.

00:34:22.000 Boy, there's a lot of regulation that comes into that.

00:34:25.000 And then you've got a lot of businesses that can't handle all this regulation and they move out of state. 0.99

00:34:29.000 And then there's a lot of weird shit going on, man. 0.99

00:34:32.000 California is just... 0.99

00:34:33.000 And when it comes to wildlife, it's really crazy.

00:34:36.000 They've outlawed a lot of different kinds of hunting.

00:34:38.000 They almost outlawed bear hunting in California.

00:34:40.000 They came really close.

00:34:42.000 And then they got so much blowback from hunters because so many people are like, first of all, You have a lot of black bear in California.

00:34:52.000 A lot.

00:34:53.000 And they eat a lot of deer.

00:34:55.000 And this is one of the things where wildlife biologists are really important because they will monitor populations and they can estimate what amount of fawns are victims of predation because of mountain lions versus bears. 0.96

00:35:11.000 And bears and mountain lions, they kill a fucking staggering amount of deer. 0.87

00:35:16.000 Staggering amount of animals. 0.98

00:35:20.000 What comes to mind is that one video of the guy who was hiking, and then he got attacked by the cougar.

00:35:26.000 Oh, the one that was running at him?

00:35:27.000 Yeah, that was running at him. 1.00

00:35:28.000 Well, that guy fucked up. 1.00

00:35:29.000 That is a scary video, man. 1.00

00:35:31.000 That's why I carry a 10mm.

00:35:33.000 That's a good move.

00:35:34.000 For that, that's a good move.

00:35:35.000 Because we have them in Texas.

00:35:37.000 Oh, yeah.

00:35:38.000 So if I'm going hog hunting, I am worried about a mountain lion.

00:35:41.000 Oh, yeah.

00:35:42.000 And usually if they are hunting you, It's kind of too late.

00:35:45.000 See if you can find that video, because that video freaks me out.

00:35:48.000 It really does.

00:35:48.000 I didn't know they moved like that.

00:35:50.000 I didn't either.

00:35:51.000 I think it was a female, and I think she had cubs, and I think she was trying to scare him off.

00:35:56.000 Gotcha.

00:35:56.000 I don't think she was trying to kill him, but when she's running with her arms out.

00:35:59.000 Yeah, that's seared in my brain.

00:36:02.000 Like a demon.

00:36:03.000 I mean, look, I give him this.

00:36:05.000 He handled it like a G. Yeah.

00:36:07.000 He was probably paralyzed with fear.

00:36:09.000 Yeah, but it would have been a lot.

00:36:11.000 It probably would have ended a lot quicker.

00:36:13.000 With you.

00:36:14.000 I'm just saying.

00:36:16.000 I don't want to shoot if I don't have to.

00:36:18.000 Yeah, but you want to come home to your family.

00:36:20.000 I'm going home.

00:36:20.000 I'm going home too.

00:36:22.000 I hear you.

00:36:23.000 Yeah, I don't want to shoot.

00:36:24.000 I love mountain lions. 0.99

00:36:25.000 I think they're cool as fuck. 0.99

00:36:26.000 I love wolves too. 0.99

00:36:26.000 My high school mascot was a cougar. 0.99

00:36:29.000 Right?

00:36:30.000 That was a pretty far reach.

00:36:33.000 But anyway.

00:36:33.000 That's a reach.

00:36:34.000 That's a reach.

00:36:36.000 Did you have a guy that...

00:36:37.000 Here it is.

00:36:38.000 Can you give me some volume?

00:36:39.000 I want to hear the volume. 1.00

00:36:41.000 Shit. 1.00

00:36:43.000 Rui! 1.00

00:36:48.000 He's just walking towards him.

00:36:58.000 That thing's way too close right there.

00:37:00.000 I think you're right, though.

00:37:01.000 I think it was a female. 0.74

00:37:02.000 Oh, it's 100% a female. 0.99

00:37:04.000 Because at the beginning of the video, the cubs...

00:37:12.000 That thing is so not worried about him, but it's moving so slow.

00:37:15.000 No.

00:37:17.000 No.

00:37:19.000 I'm being scary.

00:37:22.000 It's too close.

00:37:24.000 It's already too close.

00:37:25.000 You can tell he's paralyzed by fear because of what he's saying.

00:37:28.000 Initially it's funny, but I can tell that's pure fear.

00:37:30.000 Oh, back up, back up.

00:37:30.000 Here it is.

00:37:31.000 That's it.

00:37:32.000 No, go away. 0.93

00:37:33.000 Go away.

00:37:35.000 No. 1.00

00:37:39.000 That shit is so scary. 1.00

00:37:41.000 No! 1.00

00:37:42.000 Fuck you, dude. 1.00

00:37:44.000 Fuck you, dude. 1.00

00:37:48.000 But it's that thing running with the arms out of the sides like this. 1.00

00:37:53.000 I didn't know they did that.

00:37:54.000 But I think that's just a scare posture.

00:37:57.000 And see, now that you say that and looking at it, that's what I think it was.

00:38:00.000 I think she really was trying to scare him away.

00:38:02.000 Yeah, she has cubs. 1.00

00:38:03.000 She didn't want him eating her babies.

00:38:05.000 Which is understandable.

00:38:05.000 Yeah.

00:38:06.000 It's understandable.

00:38:06.000 I mean, that's what happens when you have the cross dynamic of...

00:38:09.000 Humans and animals.

00:38:10.000 If a bear was there and she was doing that, the bear would eat her cubs. 0.95

00:38:13.000 Pretty much.

00:38:14.000 They eat cubs.

00:38:15.000 They eat bear cubs.

00:38:17.000 You saw this, right?

00:38:18.000 What is that?

00:38:18.000 This bear got really close to this group of skiers.

00:38:20.000 Oh, no.

00:38:22.000 Where is this?

00:38:23.000 Not in America.

00:38:24.000 This bear was awesome.

00:38:25.000 It started chasing him down the ski hill, and it's going fast.

00:38:29.000 No, bears are fast!

00:38:30.000 Bro, that is terrifying.

00:38:32.000 Very fast.

00:38:32.000 And it's all the way down the hill.

00:38:34.000 It gets far away, and then it catches back up because he can't go fast enough.

00:38:37.000 It gets so close.

00:38:38.000 Oh, my God.

00:38:39.000 That's so dangerous.

00:38:41.000 That's a brown bear, too.

00:38:43.000 Those are the worst.

00:38:43.000 Look at all the skiers hanging around this bear.

00:38:45.000 Look how fast it is!

00:38:47.000 That's a small bear.

00:38:48.000 I was just going to say that, too.

00:38:49.000 It seems like a little baby is just checking him out, but still.

00:38:53.000 That'll kill you. 0.82

00:38:53.000 Whatever. 0.82

00:38:53.000 It's scary as fuck. 0.82

00:38:54.000 That baby's practicing on people. 1.00

00:38:56.000 It's...

00:38:58.000 I told you the one time I saw a grizzly, it was only like six foot.

00:39:02.000 It wasn't a big bear.

00:39:03.000 It scared the shit out of me, though.

00:39:05.000 I've seen a lot of black bears.

00:39:06.000 I've only seen one grizzly.

00:39:07.000 You just had a six foot grizzly.

00:39:09.000 They're not big.

00:39:10.000 A big grizzly is 12 feet.

00:39:12.000 That's big to me.

00:39:13.000 It's big, but for a grizzly, it was a young grizzly.

00:39:18.000 But, dude, the look in that thing's eyes was so different than anything I've ever looked at before.

00:39:22.000 It's primal.

00:39:24.000 It was trying to figure out if it's going to eat me.

00:39:28.000 It's so different than, like, a black bear looks at you and they're like, oh, what are you doing here?

00:39:33.000 Why aren't you here? 0.98

00:39:34.000 And they're looking at you like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. 0.95

00:39:36.000 Because they think of people as something that hunts them. 0.99

00:39:38.000 Because this is in Alberta.

00:39:39.000 And in Alberta, you can hunt black bear, you can't hunt grizzly bear.

00:39:44.000 And it's not wise, because there's a lot of them.

00:39:47.000 And they've overcome a lot of these areas that were traditional black bear areas.

00:39:52.000 Now, grizzlies are taking over.

00:39:53.000 And we were out in the woods, and I saw this grizzly bear just looking at me like this.

00:39:59.000 Like, looking you right in the eyes.

00:40:00.000 It's a different look. 1.00

00:40:01.000 And you're like, oh, fuck all this. 0.99

00:40:03.000 I remember thinking, imagine if this was like a big one, like an 11-footer or something like that. 1.00

00:40:08.000 We got the fuck out of Dodge. 0.97

00:40:10.000 Dude, and look at it. 0.95

00:40:10.000 Is this how fast that thing was? 0.95

00:40:12.000 Mm-hmm.

00:40:13.000 Like, I think we undervalue how fast these animals are.

00:40:15.000 Oh, dude, yeah.

00:40:16.000 Because I literally, at one point, used to think that I could outrun them.

00:40:19.000 I was like, yeah, I just run.

00:40:20.000 Just run.

00:40:21.000 I'm pretty fast.

00:40:22.000 That's hilarious.

00:40:22.000 Yeah, no, that's not going to happen.

00:40:23.000 Yeah, they run all day.

00:40:25.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:40:26.000 That's what they do. 0.99

00:40:27.000 And they're fucking- And they cover ground, yeah. 1.00

00:40:29.000 Giant, man. 0.99

00:40:30.000 Their shoulders and arms are- Honestly, after what I experienced with that buffalo hunt, My respect level for these animals is just tenfold.

00:40:39.000 Yeah.

00:40:40.000 In terms of what they can do.

00:40:41.000 And I did see some people make comments about...

00:40:43.000 Look, I could be wrong about what I'm about to say here, but this is the way I see it.

00:40:46.000 Somebody was like, oh, you know, it's not really hunting.

00:40:49.000 You went out there with a gun and you shot a buffalo.

00:40:52.000 Yeah, but they say that about me when I hunt with a bow and arrow. 1.00

00:40:55.000 You will fucking go get him with a knife if you're tough. 0.98

00:40:58.000 But see, somebody did say that. 0.99

00:40:59.000 And I was like, what do you want me to do?

00:41:00.000 You want me to run up there with a machete?

00:41:01.000 I can't catch him.

00:41:02.000 He's faster than me.

00:41:03.000 There's no way for me to do it.

00:41:05.000 Not only that, even if you did catch him, the machete wouldn't kill him.

00:41:08.000 Even if the thing didn't fight back.

00:41:10.000 You know how long it would take to kill a buffalo with a machete?

00:41:12.000 I shot mine three times.

00:41:14.000 Yeah, with what round?

00:41:16.000 The.28 Nozzler.

00:41:17.000 And that thing, I mean, it dropped.

00:41:19.000 It just kept getting up.

00:41:21.000 So I'm like, what do you want me to do?

00:41:23.000 And the thing is, when I made the lion analogy, some people were like, well, you know, a lion actually has to hunt its kill. 0.99

00:41:31.000 I'm like, a lion's also 500 pounds, can outrun me times three, and also has claws the size of my fucking head. 0.99

00:41:38.000 You can't listen to those people. 0.99

00:41:39.000 They're not making any sense.

00:41:41.000 They never make any sense.

00:41:42.000 It's either they don't want anybody to ever kill animals, or they just want to yell at you.

00:41:47.000 Those are the two reasons why they're doing that.

00:41:49.000 This is true.

00:41:50.000 Yeah.

00:41:51.000 If you're going to eat meat, you're going to get people. 1.00

00:41:53.000 If you just post a steak, there's going to be a certain amount of people that go vegan to get mad at you.

00:41:58.000 I ate the heart in a video.

00:41:59.000 Good for you?

00:41:59.000 Yeah.

00:42:00.000 It's pretty good.

00:42:00.000 Delicious, right?

00:42:01.000 Did you eat the liver?

00:42:02.000 No.

00:42:02.000 The liver's really good.

00:42:03.000 It's really good for you, too.

00:42:04.000 I didn't eat the liver, not because I didn't want to, just because we just didn't have the liver yet.

00:42:08.000 The Comanches used to take the liver and slice it and eat it raw, and they would season it with bile juice. 0.98

00:42:14.000 They would take the gallbladder juice and they would squirt it on the liver and eat it that way, because I guess it was kind of salty.

00:42:22.000 I've never tried it.

00:42:24.000 I've eaten raw liver before, which is not the best way to eat liver.

00:42:28.000 I can imagine.

00:42:29.000 Yeah, liver is better when it's cooked.

00:42:30.000 I mean, my heart was cooked.

00:42:32.000 Cooked heart is very good.

00:42:33.000 Yeah.

00:42:34.000 Heart is so chewy.

00:42:36.000 It wasn't that bad.

00:42:37.000 I thought it was going to be worse.

00:42:39.000 Oh, did you?

00:42:39.000 Yeah, I really did.

00:42:40.000 But when I say worse, even when I ate it, it wasn't bad at all.

00:42:44.000 It was good.

00:42:44.000 It's so good for you.

00:42:46.000 It's so rich in nutrients.

00:42:48.000 Like I said, I love bison meat.

00:42:50.000 Did you take any of the meat home?

00:42:51.000 Did you cut any of it out?

00:42:53.000 Or did you get it all brought to a...

00:42:54.000 I got it.

00:42:55.000 They're going to be shipping all of that over to me.

00:42:57.000 You're going to have hundreds of pounds of meat.

00:42:59.000 Do you have a big enough freezer?

00:43:00.000 That's why I'm going to be giving some to my friends.

00:43:00.000 No.

00:43:02.000 Yeah.

00:43:03.000 You're going to need...

00:43:03.000 I'll show you out there.

00:43:05.000 We have two commercial freezers that I keep elk in.

00:43:09.000 And it's amazing how much meat you get.

00:43:12.000 Yeah.

00:43:12.000 I'm going to have to definitely...

00:43:14.000 The funny thing is they're not even sending it to me.

00:43:16.000 They're sending it to a friend of mine who has a freezer for it.

00:43:19.000 And then from there, I'm going to order a freezer, then put my portion of it, then give him some, give my mom some.

00:43:25.000 I told my mom about this and she was like, you did what?

00:43:28.000 Your mom didn't know you were going hunting.

00:43:29.000 She didn't.

00:43:30.000 She was just like, because I didn't even warn her.

00:43:32.000 I just sent her the picture afterwards.

00:43:33.000 And so she called and she was like, you did that?

00:43:37.000 And I was like, yeah, mom.

00:43:38.000 She's like, you had a buffalo?

00:43:40.000 I was like, yeah.

00:43:41.000 She was like, how was it?

00:43:42.000 I was like, it was good.

00:43:43.000 It was fun.

00:43:44.000 It was, you know, it was an experience.

00:43:48.000 Okay.

00:43:49.000 So she just accepted it.

00:43:50.000 Yeah.

00:43:51.000 I mean, my mom eats meat.

00:43:52.000 Yeah.

00:43:53.000 Like, I mean, she didn't feel anywhere about it.

00:43:55.000 For people who don't hunt, it is a weird thing to say that you're going to go hunting.

00:43:58.000 It's like you're like one step closer to a primal person.

00:44:03.000 Yeah.

00:44:04.000 You know, you're going primal.

00:44:05.000 I mean, her shock was more so because she knows I'm a city rat.

00:44:09.000 She knows me.

00:44:09.000 She knows I order my food 90% of the time.

00:44:11.000 She's like, you went hunting?

00:44:13.000 Like, yeah.

00:44:14.000 But see, the funny thing is, it's like that is the experience.

00:44:18.000 A lot of the stuff I'm experiencing, the catalyst for it was a gun, right?

00:44:22.000 And so a lot of things I ended up doing I probably wouldn't have done but for me getting into firearms the way that I did.

00:44:27.000 And so it allowed me to kind of branch out into so many aspects of life that I otherwise wouldn't have.

00:44:33.000 Well, you have a big advantage and you have extreme proficiency with a firearm.

00:44:38.000 True.

00:44:38.000 You know, if you want to start hunting, that's a giant advantage over most people because you're obviously very good with guns.

00:44:44.000 Well, I will say this.

00:44:46.000 I think the reason why I didn't get buck fever as I was on the gun is everything became more instinctive.

00:44:54.000 For me, when I'm not thinking, I'm a better shooter.

00:44:57.000 And so because sensorially everything was so overwhelming, the smell, the sounds, seeing the live animal in my optic, I think everything just went...

00:45:08.000 And I'm already a scatterbrain.

00:45:09.000 So anything that can force me to hyper-focus is ideal.

00:45:13.000 Yeah, I'm not.

00:45:14.000 You're also very smart.

00:45:16.000 And a smart person understands what's happening when nerves start taking over.

00:45:20.000 If you're aware of how your body works.

00:45:22.000 Yeah.

00:45:23.000 When you're not aware and then you just let it overrun you and go into full panic mode.

00:45:28.000 Yeah, your body, you know, the human body and adrenaline, it's a weird little mixture of stuff.

00:45:34.000 Very weird.

00:45:35.000 You would think that that adrenaline is supposed to benefit you.

00:45:39.000 I think it can if you know how to use it.

00:45:40.000 Yeah, but it's a wild animal.

00:45:43.000 Because I've had panic attacks.

00:45:45.000 I've suffered from panic attacks before.

00:45:47.000 When was the last time you had one?

00:45:49.000 What do you get them over?

00:45:49.000 Years.

00:45:51.000 You know, sometimes they...

00:45:53.000 Some of the ones...

00:45:53.000 Well, you know what?

00:45:54.000 I say they came out of nowhere... 0.98

00:45:56.000 But because of the way my mind works and some of the things that I think about that I just used to routinely, it could have been caused by that.

00:46:04.000 But I will say, for instance, one of my major panic attacks I had actually was smoking.

00:46:12.000 Yeah.

00:46:12.000 Weed?

00:46:13.000 But that's normal.

00:46:14.000 No, I know.

00:46:15.000 Well, now I know that.

00:46:16.000 Those are standard parents.

00:46:16.000 I didn't know that then.

00:46:17.000 I was like, yeah. 1.00

00:46:18.000 The funny thing is, everybody has the same response when I tell them that shit. 1.00

00:46:21.000 They're like, oh, you were just smoking the wrong shit. 1.00

00:46:23.000 I was like... 1.00

00:46:24.000 It's not probably the right shit. 1.00

00:46:25.000 Yeah, no, same shit I don't want. 1.00

00:46:27.000 Too much of it. 1.00

00:46:27.000 I fight the high. 1.00

00:46:29.000 That's the problem.

00:46:30.000 I'm a control freak in that way.

00:46:31.000 Of course.

00:46:32.000 So for me, I don't like the feeling of being high.

00:46:32.000 Yeah.

00:46:37.000 I get it.

00:46:38.000 Yeah, I don't like it.

00:46:39.000 So I think that's what caused me to kind of go, like, I need to gain control of what's going on right now.

00:46:45.000 That's my favorite part of weed, the panic.

00:46:47.000 See, I remember you told me that.

00:46:48.000 I like it.

00:46:49.000 Like, Joe's crazy. 0.72

00:46:52.000 I like that. 0.70

00:46:54.000 I just like...

00:46:54.000 I know.

00:46:57.000 I think it's because when I first started getting high, it used to freak me out.

00:47:01.000 And then I realized eventually that there's great benefit in those moments because any weird thing that I'm trying to avoid in my head, it gets brought up to the surface.

00:47:11.000 You can't avoid anything.

00:47:13.000 Pot is like a bright light that gets shined on the things you're avoiding.

00:47:17.000 So it keeps me honest.

00:47:19.000 It keeps me in check.

00:47:20.000 You know what?

00:47:21.000 I'm still not smoking.

00:47:22.000 But yeah, I can definitely see.

00:47:24.000 I can definitely agree with you on that.

00:47:26.000 It makes me nicer.

00:47:27.000 It really does.

00:47:28.000 But I mean, for me, once I understood what was going on biologically, then I was able to kind of...

00:47:35.000 To be honest, what would end up happening is, because I didn't get them frequently, but when they would come, they would be terrifying.

00:47:41.000 And then at a certain point, I almost wanted them to come because of the calm after the storm.

00:47:46.000 Right, right, right.

00:47:47.000 It's like, yeah.

00:47:49.000 That's what I'm talking about with weed, too.

00:47:51.000 There's a great feeling after you get too high.

00:47:54.000 Yeah, that is true.

00:47:55.000 Because, I mean, it's adrenaline.

00:47:56.000 It comes back down no matter what.

00:47:58.000 So, yeah.

00:47:59.000 Yeah.

00:48:00.000 Yeah, it's the weird spike of adrenaline when you're in a primal situation like hunting.

00:48:06.000 I guess it's supposed to be because you're in this sort of life or death situation and your body probably thinks you're going to go into battle.

00:48:14.000 Yeah.

00:48:14.000 But really, you're just staying calm and slowly squeezing off around.

00:48:19.000 So I didn't get the heightened sense of adrenaline until after the fact.

00:48:23.000 And then you're boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:48:24.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:48:25.000 Then you're like, holy shit. 0.99

00:48:26.000 Because now I was brought back. 0.99

00:48:28.000 I'm focused on it.

00:48:30.000 And so from that perspective, I will say what did happen too was it made me, for a short period of time, kind of overanalyze my sense of morality.

00:48:43.000 You know what I mean?

00:48:45.000 Because I'm like, this buffalo woke up that morning and didn't know that Koi on the wire was going to come and hunt him and shoot him.

00:48:52.000 And I think to me, that's just my overanalytical aspect of my brain.

00:48:56.000 Well, it's a wise perspective because there is something to that.

00:49:01.000 That's life and death of being a buffalo or a human being.

00:49:06.000 Human, yeah, because that's really what it did for me.

00:49:07.000 I was like, what makes me so different?

00:49:09.000 What does make you so different, yeah. 0.99

00:49:11.000 Well, the only thing that makes us different is the fact that we have houses and cars and bullets and guns and the fact that we're not out there getting eaten by fucking mountain lines and shit. 0.97

00:49:21.000 Or getting attacked by homeboys when somebody else is trying to hunt us. 0.99

00:49:23.000 Yes.

00:49:24.000 There's a video, there's a great documentary called Relentless Enemies, and it's all about lions and buffalo.

00:49:24.000 Jesus.

00:49:32.000 And these lions in Africa, there's this one area where the river changed courses.

00:49:39.000 It changed course and it's stranded.

00:49:41.000 All these cats on this one island.

00:49:44.000 And it stranded them with nothing to eat but water buffalo.

00:49:48.000 So these cats got huge.

00:49:50.000 It's a crazy documentary.

00:49:52.000 Because the female lions in this one area are as big as male lions anywhere else. 0.99

00:49:58.000 They're fucking enormous. 0.99

00:50:00.000 And they look like cartoon lions. 1.00

00:50:02.000 Like they're jacked!

00:50:04.000 Like super jacked because all they're doing is eating water buffalo and because the females are the ones that hunt. 1.00

00:50:10.000 So these females got way bigger and way stronger because those are the only ones that survived. 1.00

00:50:15.000 And in this video, these female lions attack this water buffalo And they get it down, and then they're trying to fight this water buffalo, and the other buffalo's come along, and then at this one moment where it looks like the buffalo's going to get away,

00:50:31.000 another buffalo runs up and gores him and knocks him over, and then the lions get him. 0.91

00:50:37.000 So right when it looks like this buffalo is going to survive, this other bitch-ass buffalo comes over and just jacks one of his homies, just jacks him from the side and knocks him over. 1.00

00:50:49.000 That's just a part of their nature, man. 0.99

00:50:51.000 Yeah, it really is.

00:50:52.000 Bullying like that is built in nature.

00:50:54.000 Turning on the weak is built in in nature.

00:50:58.000 They're visceral, man.

00:50:58.000 Talk about Machiavellian.

00:51:00.000 Yeah, it's horrible.

00:51:01.000 It's a horrible system.

00:51:02.000 It's a horrible system that's designed to make sure that only the very strong survive.

00:51:07.000 That's it.

00:51:08.000 Even though there's no morals or ethics in the Buffalo community.

00:51:11.000 Nothing.

00:51:12.000 At all.

00:51:13.000 It just is what it is.

00:51:14.000 There's no us versus them. 0.96

00:51:16.000 There is with elephants, though.

00:51:18.000 Elephants save other elephants.

00:51:21.000 You know, I think I saw that in a couple of documentaries I watch again on my nights watching Netflix drunk.

00:51:26.000 That's why people are like really attached to elephants.

00:51:28.000 We get real attached to things that are a little smarter.

00:51:31.000 You know when you find out that like elephants, when an elephant gets separated from its young or from a family member and they get reunited, years later they remember each other and they run up to each other and they wrap their nose, their trunk around each other and they rub each other.

00:51:49.000 It's the fact that they're that smart, or we just have a lowered expectation of them as animals.

00:51:54.000 They're smart.

00:51:55.000 They can paint.

00:51:56.000 No, that's what I'm getting at.

00:51:57.000 Like, do you think, like, the reason why we're so fascinated, why we're so attached to elephants, is that we have a lowered expectation of their intelligence, and when they demonstrate something that seems remotely intelligent, we're, like, surprised.

00:52:08.000 Like, oh my gosh! 1.00

00:52:09.000 Well, we just assume that anything that can't drive a car or send an email is an idiot. 0.99

00:52:14.000 You know, we kind of know that dolphins are smart now, but it still doesn't stop SeaWorld from keeping them locked up in cages. 1.00

00:52:19.000 Dolphins are fucking assholes. 1.00

00:52:21.000 Are they? 1.00

00:52:21.000 What? 1.00

00:52:23.000 Assholes? 1.00

00:52:23.000 Dolphins are... 1.00

00:52:24.000 They're the frat boys of the sea. 0.99

00:52:26.000 Well, there's definitely a lot of ruthless shit that goes on in the dolphin world. 1.00

00:52:30.000 Yeah, they rape other female dolphins. 1.00

00:52:32.000 They also commit infanticide on a regular basis. 1.00

00:52:36.000 They kill.

00:52:37.000 They kill for fun.

00:52:37.000 Yeah, they kill baby dolphins.

00:52:40.000 If a female has a baby dolphin, apparently the female won't breed for like seven years.

00:52:45.000 She'll just take care of those dolphins. 1.00

00:52:47.000 Gotcha. 1.00

00:52:47.000 So what females wind up doing is being sluts. 1.00

00:52:51.000 They fuck as many male dolphins as they can so that when she has a baby, the male's like, oh, I fucked her. 1.00

00:52:56.000 That might be my kid. 1.00

00:52:57.000 So they don't kill the baby. 1.00

00:52:59.000 Because otherwise, if a male comes up on a female that he hasn't had sex with and he sees her with babies, he'll just kill the baby so that he can fuck her. 1.00

00:53:06.000 Yeah, that's common in the bear world. 1.00

00:53:06.000 Gotcha. 1.00

00:53:09.000 That's common in a lot of animal worlds.

00:53:11.000 They'll kill cubs in order to force the female into estrus. 1.00

00:53:16.000 It's dark. 0.94

00:53:17.000 Nature's dark.

00:53:18.000 It's evil.

00:53:19.000 It's the only way that things survive.

00:53:21.000 And to be strong, you can't have any compassion or empathy in nature.

00:53:25.000 And then you look at us.

00:53:27.000 Yeah.

00:53:27.000 And then I go...

00:53:28.000 We're getting weak.

00:53:29.000 Yeah.

00:53:30.000 But you know what?

00:53:31.000 It's also...

00:53:31.000 I'm worried about comments on Instagram.

00:53:35.000 Exactly.

00:53:35.000 But that's what leads to innovation, though.

00:53:38.000 Innovation is created in a safety vacuum, right? 0.96

00:53:42.000 You have to have people that are safe, and they don't have to worry about primal shit, and then they start thinking about, like, you know... 0.97

00:53:48.000 I think Aristotle spoke to something like this, too. 0.95

00:53:50.000 Yeah.

00:53:50.000 You know, like, being, having...

00:53:53.000 Having essentially the money gives you the time to be innovative.

00:53:58.000 Not having to worry about starving to death, not having to worry about being killed gives you time to think about things and that's how we improve.

00:54:06.000 But in improving society, we also make a lot of really soft people that reap the benefits of that without having any discipline and those are the ones that comment on social media.

00:54:15.000 That's the kind of people that you're getting.

00:54:17.000 You're getting these people that think that Their comments and their points are so important.

00:54:22.000 And shutting down others and yelling at others, it's so important.

00:54:26.000 They're just soft people.

00:54:28.000 It boggles my mind.

00:54:31.000 It really does.

00:54:33.000 I see certain comments, I'm like, you really wrote this?

00:54:36.000 Well, it might be like a 15-year-old kid, and I would have written that too when I was 15. I was a fucking moron. 1.00

00:54:41.000 I do forget sometimes that there are really young people on social media. 1.00

00:54:46.000 Bro, all these kids have phones.

00:54:47.000 Every kid has a phone now.

00:54:49.000 I mean, they're so common.

00:54:50.000 Yeah, because I can think to a time where I never had a phone.

00:54:53.000 Yes, yes.

00:54:54.000 I never had a phone.

00:54:55.000 I didn't have a phone until I was in my 20s, you know?

00:54:58.000 I don't even know how I got around without GPS. Right.

00:55:02.000 I'm like, how did I know where things were?

00:55:04.000 And I think it's just, my mind is just kind of chunked out all of...

00:55:08.000 When I used to do gigs back in the day, I would get a phone call.

00:55:12.000 I would have to call Mike Clark, who's a booking agent, and he would give me directions over the phone, and I would write them down.

00:55:20.000 Like, 495 North, to this, to 101. And that's how you would get places.

00:55:25.000 I'd have a piece of paper.

00:55:27.000 And then I'd be like, alright, five miles, here it is.

00:55:29.000 Then take the exit, go two miles, and I'd have to look at my little thing.

00:55:33.000 It says, two miles, okay, take a right here.

00:55:35.000 There's the street. 0.97

00:55:36.000 Like, today, nobody fucking does that anymore. 0.98

00:55:38.000 Dude, you have to do all that. 0.99

00:55:42.000 My ass still gets mad at my navigation when it doesn't tell me exactly, specifically, which exit to take. 0.98

00:55:49.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:50.000 Right?

00:55:50.000 I'm like, is it this one?

00:55:52.000 And I still get lost.

00:55:53.000 Well, especially in Texas.

00:55:55.000 Dude, the highway system out here is ridonkulous.

00:55:58.000 In Austin, it's terrible.

00:55:58.000 In Austin.

00:56:00.000 Is it better in Dallas?

00:56:01.000 It's better in Dallas, because Austin is that bad.

00:56:05.000 Why is it so bad here?

00:56:06.000 I've heard stories about why it's bad.

00:56:09.000 Trying to keep people from moving here?

00:56:10.000 No, revolving around the guy who designed them. 0.81

00:56:13.000 Personally, I think the guy that designed the freeway system here in Austin literally took an Etch-A-Sketch, gave it to his son, told him to draw some shit, and that's what he used as his base plan. 0.98

00:56:23.000 Because the system here, I think the freeways here are designed to kill you. 0.97

00:56:27.000 You know what it seems like to me?

00:56:28.000 It seems like as if we still use Windows 95 and they just kept patching it.

00:56:34.000 But it doesn't work for modern graphics cards and modern motherboards. 0.98

00:56:38.000 It's all fucked up. 0.94

00:56:39.000 It seems like a highway system was invented when there was a really low population. 0.99

00:56:44.000 And then they just started adding layers and roofs.

00:56:47.000 But there was no really...

00:56:48.000 It wasn't built with the understanding that this place was going to expand.

00:56:51.000 Especially not the way it's expanding now.

00:56:53.000 It's getting nuts, man.

00:56:54.000 I was reading something about some new highway system they're trying to tack on top of another one.

00:56:58.000 On one of the roads, they're going to put a second layer on top of it.

00:57:01.000 So it's going to be like three layers?

00:57:02.000 No, a second one.

00:57:04.000 A second layer.

00:57:04.000 Because it's a flat road.

00:57:05.000 Oh, so it's flat.

00:57:07.000 Yeah, they're going to put one above it.

00:57:09.000 Because they have to do that in some places where they realize, like, oh, there's too many cars.

00:57:12.000 Dallas is getting like that, too.

00:57:14.000 Dallas is getting really, really, really congested as far as traffic.

00:57:17.000 Traffic really wasn't a big deal in Dallas.

00:57:19.000 Now, like, I'm starting to...

00:57:21.000 It's starting to feel like being in L.A. almost.

00:57:23.000 How many people live in Dallas now?

00:57:24.000 I don't know.

00:57:25.000 Take a guess.

00:57:26.000 Let's guess.

00:57:27.000 I'm going to be way off.

00:57:28.000 What do you think?

00:57:29.000 Too many.

00:57:32.000 What's your number?

00:57:33.000 I couldn't even give you a number.

00:57:34.000 Let me see.

00:57:36.000 Seven million?

00:57:37.000 Seven million?

00:57:38.000 I'd say now?

00:57:39.000 Yeah.

00:57:40.000 I'd say about 8 to 9. 8 to 9. Okay.

00:57:44.000 Yeah, I'm going to agree with you.

00:57:45.000 I was going to go higher.

00:57:46.000 I was going to say 10. But Jamie said, you were talking about LA proper.

00:57:52.000 The city was only 10 million, right?

00:57:54.000 Yeah, it depends on what you're defining as, because when you look it up, they'd use official definitions.

00:57:59.000 Like, I think sometimes when you're looking up Los Angeles population, Burbank isn't counted because it's a separate city, but it's within it.

00:58:06.000 It's all connected.

00:58:07.000 So it's like it's all the same place.

00:58:08.000 Yeah, it's all the same place, for sure.

00:58:09.000 All right, I'm saying seven.

00:58:12.000 Seven.

00:58:13.000 Seven million.

00:58:14.000 It says the Dallas metro population area, which includes Fort Worth, so like the whole area, is 6.3, but I see estimates of 7.5.

00:58:25.000 Hmm.

00:58:26.000 That's a lot.

00:58:27.000 Somewhere in there.

00:58:28.000 That's a lot.

00:58:29.000 Is that the biggest city in Texas?

00:58:30.000 In Texas?

00:58:31.000 No, I think Houston is.

00:58:31.000 Yeah.

00:58:32.000 Houston's bigger?

00:58:33.000 Houston's the fourth in the country.

00:58:33.000 Yeah.

00:58:35.000 Oh, really?

00:58:36.000 Mm-hmm.

00:58:37.000 What's Houston got?

00:58:38.000 It's probably closer to nine.

00:58:40.000 Yeah, I would give that to Houston.

00:58:40.000 Let's see.

00:58:42.000 Houston has some pretty ridiculous traffic, too.

00:58:44.000 Yeah, but Houston's always had traffic.

00:58:45.000 Just a little bit more.

00:58:46.000 Just a little bit more.

00:58:47.000 It's just around seven, too.

00:58:48.000 Oh, really?

00:58:49.000 They're very close.

00:58:49.000 So close.

00:58:50.000 Houston just doesn't have enough freeways.

00:58:52.000 That's the problem.

00:58:53.000 Well, they go underwater sometimes.

00:58:55.000 I mean, this is true, but they always come back up.

00:58:57.000 They do.

00:58:58.000 We were talking before about when I used to work at the Laugh Factory, or the Laugh Stop in River Oaks.

00:59:03.000 The hotel we used to stay at, it doesn't exist anymore because it got flooded.

00:59:07.000 The water went up to the second floor.

00:59:09.000 Funny, because I'm born and raised in Houston.

00:59:11.000 I live in Dallas now, but I pretty much grew up in Houston.

00:59:14.000 We just get used to it.

00:59:16.000 It's crazy, because literally, I remember there were times where you'd wake up, the entire city will be underwater, and then by noon, it looked like nothing happened.

00:59:27.000 It just drains away?

00:59:28.000 It just...

00:59:29.000 Well, where does it go?

00:59:33.000 I lived there close to 30 years and I never asked that question.

00:59:37.000 I think I read something about it after the last crazy flood and they were describing how the hardscape, like all the streets and everything like that, it's not good for the drainage.

00:59:49.000 No, it's terrible.

00:59:50.000 That's the problem.

00:59:51.000 The reason why Houston floods is because the drainage system is terrible.

00:59:54.000 Right.

00:59:55.000 Yes, sure, we're below sea level, etc., etc., but the draining system in Houston is just bad.

01:00:02.000 Yeah.

01:00:02.000 So if we get a lot of rain in a short period of time, it'll flood.

01:00:07.000 The draining system will inevitably work, but you're going to have to wait.

01:00:11.000 But they weren't just saying the draining system is bad.

01:00:13.000 They were saying just the fact that there's so many roads and highways because the water doesn't go through in those areas.

01:00:18.000 Gotcha.

01:00:19.000 So the way that Houston used to be before people came was the water would rise up through the rain, but it would go into the ground and it wouldn't really flood.

01:00:29.000 Gotcha.

01:00:29.000 But because of all the highways and the roads and the streets and all the houses and all this hard stuff where the water can't get through, the water doesn't get it in the ground until it does.

01:00:39.000 And then, you know, it stacks up for a while before it drains back down.

01:00:43.000 See, and the funny thing is being in Dallas, I don't...

01:00:46.000 I haven't experienced the flood since I've been in Dallas.

01:00:49.000 But the one thing I had to readjust to was the cold and the snow or the ice.

01:00:56.000 That's different.

01:00:57.000 Oh, yeah.

01:00:58.000 Yeah.

01:00:59.000 Even though it's only four hours away, at least the way normal people drive.

01:01:03.000 But...

01:01:03.000 Like, I... I remember my first winter in Dallas, and I was like, what the hell is this?

01:01:10.000 Because in Houston, we get the extremes of everything, but we never really get the extremes of snow or ice.

01:01:16.000 Did they get snow this last storm, though?

01:01:18.000 Yeah, they did.

01:01:19.000 They did, right?

01:01:20.000 Yeah, that's why it was so crazy.

01:01:21.000 Because Dallas, I could see, even though it was still crazy, I mean, I was out there driving around, you know.

01:01:27.000 Because I've spun out on ice before, so I know how to drive.

01:01:30.000 Do you know how to drive in snow?

01:01:31.000 Now I do.

01:01:33.000 Three, four years ago, I didn't know.

01:01:35.000 Yeah, because I learned the hard way.

01:01:36.000 I literally spun out.

01:01:37.000 I remember I had to go to Oklahoma with a co-worker, and we were driving, and so there was an ice storm.

01:01:43.000 Oklahoma gets real winter.

01:01:44.000 Right, they get real winter. 0.99

01:01:46.000 And so we were like, we can stay in a shitty hotel. 0.77

01:01:49.000 Or we can just drive back to Dallas. 0.87

01:01:51.000 And I was like...

01:01:52.000 How far does that drive?

01:01:53.000 Like three hours.

01:01:54.000 Normally?

01:01:55.000 Normally.

01:01:56.000 Took us ten.

01:01:59.000 Because...

01:02:00.000 Because I'm like, I want to be back.

01:02:01.000 I don't want to be in Oklahoma. 0.98

01:02:02.000 Much love to Oklahoma, but I'm not fucking staying in Oklahoma. 0.98

01:02:04.000 So I was like... 1.00

01:02:05.000 Much love to Oklahoma, but fuck you. 1.00

01:02:08.000 So I was like, all right, let's just drive, right? 1.00

01:02:10.000 So me and a coworker, we're driving back.

01:02:12.000 And I remember the lady gave us this warning.

01:02:15.000 She was just like...

01:02:17.000 She's like, be careful because, you know, they shut down some of the highways, so that means it's pretty bad.

01:02:21.000 They're like, oh, we're fine.

01:02:22.000 We'll take the back roads.

01:02:25.000 That's the worst thing you could do.

01:02:27.000 What kind of car are you driving?

01:02:28.000 I was in a 2007 Range Rover.

01:02:31.000 Oh, Jesus.

01:02:32.000 Yeah.

01:02:33.000 And that's another thing, a false sense of security.

01:02:36.000 I was like, oh, we'll be fine. 0.99

01:02:36.000 I didn't know shit. 0.99

01:02:39.000 You know, we're good. 0.98

01:02:40.000 Range Rovers are pretty good in snow. 0.89

01:02:42.000 Yeah, not with freaking street tires.

01:02:44.000 Ice, yeah, not with street tires.

01:02:45.000 But nothing saves you from ice, though.

01:02:47.000 Nothing.

01:02:47.000 Unless you have chains on your bikes or something like that.

01:02:50.000 So we took the back roads, like you pointed out, dumbest idea you can do because they don't sand them or de-ice them or anything like that.

01:02:58.000 We're literally, we skated from Oklahoma to Dallas.

01:03:03.000 We skated because literally we would, I would drive like maybe 9, 10 miles an hour and then I would, like if there was a car ahead of me, I would have to gauge how long it would take me to slow down because I'm going to slide to a stop. 0.96

01:03:15.000 So literally, and at some point you would think two smart individuals, and the guy, my coworker, he was even smarter, just exceptionally smart guy, would have thought, turn your ass around and go back to the hotel. 0.92

01:03:27.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:03:27.000 No. 0.99

01:03:28.000 No.

01:03:29.000 Once you're on our way.

01:03:32.000 So we get to this back portion, and it's like there's a bit of an embankment.

01:03:37.000 And I'm like, all right, cool.

01:03:38.000 All I'll do is I'll just drive real slow and get across that.

01:03:41.000 I didn't think much of it.

01:03:42.000 I can feel the back kind of jiggle a little bit.

01:03:42.000 So I'm driving.

01:03:45.000 I'm like, oh, okay, you know, just slow down a little bit more.

01:03:48.000 Back jiggles a little bit.

01:03:49.000 I'm like, oh, that's not good.

01:03:51.000 Back starts kind of doing this and then breaks.

01:03:55.000 And so now we're doing a 360 on this embankment right into a ditch.

01:04:03.000 In the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma.

01:04:05.000 Oh boy.

01:04:06.000 So now I'm like, so we're literally sitting there and we just kind of look at each other and I'm like, we're back in into the ditch. 1.00

01:04:12.000 And I'm like, fuck. 0.99

01:04:15.000 And luck would have it, there was a couple farmers comes driving on by in the tractor. 1.00

01:04:23.000 They pulled you out?

01:04:24.000 Really?

01:04:24.000 Yeah.

01:04:25.000 He goes up to the window and he's like, boy, seem to be in a little bit of trouble.

01:04:29.000 I was like, yep, yep, yep.

01:04:31.000 We kind of spun out.

01:04:32.000 He's like, yeah, I've seen several of these today.

01:04:35.000 And he's like, I'll get you out in about five minutes.

01:04:38.000 And then he goes...

01:04:41.000 Fancy little truck you got here.

01:04:42.000 Isn't this thing four-wheel drive? 0.99

01:04:43.000 I was like, yeah, but shit, what the hell is that going to do against ICE? Well, not only that, it's four-wheel drive, but it might not be all-time four-wheel drive. 0.75

01:04:52.000 You might have to turn that on.

01:04:53.000 Did you turn it on?

01:04:53.000 The Range Rovers, I think Range Rovers are full-time.

01:04:55.000 Full-time four-wheel drive?

01:04:55.000 Are they really?

01:04:57.000 I drove one in Utah a couple weeks ago. 0.92

01:04:59.000 They're pretty fucking sweet, man. 0.97

01:05:00.000 I don't like them now. 0.94

01:05:01.000 I liked it a lot, but I know they break.

01:05:04.000 I like G-Wagons.

01:05:04.000 Yeah, I'm a douche.

01:05:06.000 G-wagons are great.

01:05:07.000 They're great.

01:05:08.000 But Range Rovers are great, man.

01:05:10.000 Like I said, I drove one in Utah.

01:05:11.000 No, they're great.

01:05:12.000 Great vehicles.

01:05:13.000 They're just not my thing.

01:05:14.000 They break too much.

01:05:15.000 Yeah, because they're really complicated, especially with the airbags, the air suspension, and all of that.

01:05:20.000 At least I know with the model I had. 0.77

01:05:22.000 I had the OG model.

01:05:24.000 But I don't know what the new ones are like now.

01:05:26.000 I mean, those were literally set to fail.

01:05:28.000 Like, they're gonna go out.

01:05:29.000 It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

01:05:31.000 So you would have to replace those airbags.

01:05:33.000 It's not just that.

01:05:34.000 It's the electronics.

01:05:35.000 Like, you can't really give them a pass if they're complicated, because so is Lexuses.

01:05:35.000 All the electronics.

01:05:40.000 That wasn't a pass.

01:05:41.000 Lexuses are complicated, too, and they never break. 0.94

01:05:43.000 And they have all kinds of crazy shit in terms of, like, their off-road ability, like the LX570. This is true. 0.71

01:05:49.000 There's all sorts of shit you can do on those things, and they never break, man. 0.99

01:05:51.000 I've had three of those. 0.99

01:05:52.000 Yeah, but they're pretty much...

01:05:54.000 It's a Toyota.

01:05:55.000 Toyota 4Runners.

01:05:57.000 No, it's a Land Cruiser.

01:05:57.000 Essentially, that's what they are.

01:05:58.000 It's like a super juiced up Land Cruiser.

01:06:01.000 Yeah, I got you.

01:06:01.000 Land Cruiser.

01:06:02.000 That's what I was looking for.

01:06:03.000 But still, it's like, why can't...

01:06:04.000 Range Rover do that?

01:06:06.000 Because it's such a beautiful car.

01:06:07.000 Well, it's because the British make beautiful things.

01:06:09.000 They don't make great functioning things.

01:06:11.000 I will say that.

01:06:12.000 Like, look at Aston Martin.

01:06:14.000 Yeah.

01:06:15.000 Beautiful cars.

01:06:16.000 Beautiful.

01:06:17.000 But like you said, they break.

01:06:19.000 They break.

01:06:20.000 That's how I feel about Ferraris.

01:06:23.000 I don't trust my people.

01:06:25.000 You know what?

01:06:26.000 I got to say this because Lamborghinis would like that too.

01:06:29.000 They're better now, though, right?

01:06:30.000 Because it's because of Adi.

01:06:31.000 Yeah, because they got bought by the Germans. 0.97

01:06:32.000 Yeah, this is true.

01:06:33.000 They took them away from the Guineas. 0.99

01:06:35.000 They're like, give me that thing, man. 1.00

01:06:36.000 You know what the fuck you're making? 1.00

01:06:38.000 What are you doing? 1.00

01:06:39.000 Here's the problem, though.

01:06:40.000 This is missing a bolt.

01:06:41.000 Here's the problem, though.

01:06:43.000 I think some of the passion is being sucked out.

01:06:46.000 So they're making them sterile. 0.61

01:06:46.000 Oh, no. 0.61

01:06:48.000 Now, this is probably an unfair comparison, largely because...

01:06:54.000 This vehicle was designed to be the Porsche Cayenne for Lamborghini.

01:07:01.000 Oh, that four-wheel drive Urus thing?

01:07:04.000 Oh, Urus, yeah.

01:07:05.000 Urus, did I say it?

01:07:06.000 I don't know.

01:07:06.000 I think so.

01:07:07.000 I say it 12 different ways because I hear different people say it.

01:07:09.000 So I go, it's like, I started off by saying Urus and then I heard them say Urus.

01:07:14.000 Four-wheel drive.

01:07:15.000 Yeah, basically.

01:07:16.000 Their SUV, right?

01:07:17.000 And that's supposed to be their moneymaker.

01:07:19.000 So that's why I think this might be a little unfair comparison, but essentially it's a Q8. It's a QRS8. A dope looking one.

01:07:26.000 I mean, depending on who you ask.

01:07:26.000 Yeah.

01:07:28.000 There are some people who can't stand the styling on it.

01:07:30.000 Yeah, it's a little busy.

01:07:32.000 It is.

01:07:33.000 But I think they had to do that because they had to separate it from the fact that it is essentially a QRS8. Is it?

01:07:39.000 Yes.

01:07:39.000 They took a Q8. They put a body kit on it.

01:07:43.000 And changed the interior, made the interior more drastic, and then gave it a shit ton of power, and then said, put a Lamborghini badge on it and said, here you go.

01:07:51.000 Now, I understand why they did that, because it's designed to be their moneymaker so that they can put money towards their hyper car, their exotic cars.

01:07:59.000 Like Porsche did with the Cayenne. 0.82

01:08:00.000 Exactly.

01:08:01.000 So it was kind of an unfair comparison.

01:08:03.000 However, when you look at, say, for instance, the Huracan.

01:08:08.000 Huracan, not withstanding the Huracan Evo, which now is the rear-wheel drive, everybody loves that one, but as good as it is, it's exceptionally good, but I think there's some of the passion lost because it is too good.

01:08:21.000 And I think there's something to be said about that.

01:08:23.000 I see what you're saying.

01:08:24.000 This is also coming from the guy who was talking about the inadequacies of a manual transmission.

01:08:29.000 So, like I said, I'm a walking contradiction.

01:08:31.000 The thing about those Lamborghinis, though, it's like you're sending a very clear douche vibe when you drive one.

01:08:37.000 How do you...

01:08:38.000 I mean, yeah.

01:08:38.000 You know, especially if you have like a Murcielago or...

01:08:41.000 This is true.

01:08:42.000 You got those doors that pop up sideways.

01:08:44.000 So the Huracan don't have the Lamborghini doors anymore.

01:08:47.000 They have regular doors.

01:08:48.000 Yeah, they do.

01:08:49.000 But the Murcielago does.

01:08:51.000 What is the big Lamborghini?

01:08:53.000 What's the number one, the top of the food chain Lamborghini?

01:08:56.000 It's the Ventador.

01:08:58.000 Ventador.

01:08:58.000 Yeah, that's their...

01:08:59.000 That thing is ridiculous. 0.98

01:09:00.000 That seems like a spaceship. 0.96

01:09:02.000 Now, it is.

01:09:02.000 Yeah.

01:09:03.000 Because, damn it, it looks like one. 0.99

01:09:04.000 Yeah, it really does. 0.99

01:09:05.000 It looks like a stealth bomber or something.

01:09:07.000 But I prefer the Huracan.

01:09:09.000 Yeah?

01:09:09.000 Yeah.

01:09:09.000 I think the Huracan's beautiful.

01:09:10.000 I think the proportions on the Huracan are just dead-on.

01:09:13.000 It's pretty sleek.

01:09:14.000 It's different than a Ferrari, right?

01:09:16.000 Ferrari's like you've got money and you're a classy person who likes nice things.

01:09:21.000 Depending on who you talk to.

01:09:23.000 Because some people, if you're in any of those badges, the Lamborghini, the Ferrari, what is the other one?

01:09:30.000 There's another one I'm missing.

01:09:33.000 Just those two, generally speaking.

01:09:35.000 It's really just those two.

01:09:35.000 And maybe even McLaren.

01:09:37.000 Yeah, maybe McLaren. 0.68

01:09:38.000 You see those, you think automatically people think douchebag.

01:09:41.000 Yeah. 0.71

01:09:42.000 Bugatti for sure.

01:09:43.000 But see, Bugatti is so high in tier, it's kind of like...

01:09:48.000 The ultimate floss.

01:09:50.000 Yeah.

01:09:51.000 They don't really do anything for me.

01:09:51.000 Even though I'm not...

01:09:53.000 You're driving a really nice house.

01:09:55.000 Pretty...

01:09:55.000 Two houses.

01:09:56.000 Yeah.

01:09:59.000 But then the funny thing is...

01:10:02.000 You go down to the scale of a Porsche, for instance, and nobody even takes two looks at a Porsche.

01:10:08.000 Well, you can have a Porsche that's a daily driver, though, like a 911, like a Carrera 4S. Yeah.

01:10:14.000 They look kind of like they're nice-looking, but they blend in.

01:10:18.000 They blend in.

01:10:19.000 They're low-key.

01:10:20.000 Yeah.

01:10:21.000 I mean, I think the Turbo's the ultimate version of that.

01:10:23.000 Yes.

01:10:24.000 Because, I mean, you can literally destroy pretty much anything on the road in a Turbo S, and then you could also take it and drive As far as...

01:10:32.000 You can take it on a road trip to freaking Las Vegas from Dallas if you wanted to.

01:10:36.000 That's really the ultimate daily driver supercar.

01:10:39.000 That's why I got the one that I got.

01:10:41.000 Because I knew...

01:10:43.000 I mean, it's four-wheel drive.

01:10:44.000 Like, I remember the last time I was in Austin and I drove it here.

01:10:46.000 On a drive back, it was like a tsunami.

01:10:49.000 And I was just sitting here.

01:10:50.000 Four-wheel drive, yeah.

01:10:52.000 Four-wheel drive.

01:10:52.000 I'm driving the speed limit.

01:10:56.000 It's also all the electronic stability systems and everything is so well designed.

01:11:01.000 Because they just continue to evolve over, they just evolve the platform and they perfect it each time.

01:11:07.000 It's also super reliable.

01:11:08.000 There was a thing about the Porsche 911. I think that's true.

01:11:13.000 It was the most reliable car of 2020. Oh, really?

01:11:17.000 I think it was the 911. Yeah, there was some article about Porsche 911 being the most reliable car, which makes sense if you think about the evolution of the vehicle and it continued to evolve.

01:11:27.000 Most dependable, maybe?

01:11:28.000 Most dependable.

01:11:29.000 Highest-ranked model for trouble-free ownership.

01:11:32.000 That's amazing. 0.98

01:11:33.000 You think about a car that is a fucking ridiculously fast, incredible car. 0.97

01:11:38.000 It's a rocket ship, yeah. 0.95

01:11:38.000 9-11 is the highest ranked model for trouble-free ownership in the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. 0.95

01:11:46.000 That's amazing.

01:11:46.000 And guess what?

01:11:47.000 It has a lot of space.

01:11:49.000 It does?

01:11:50.000 It deceptively does. 1.00

01:11:52.000 Well, the backseat's bullshit, unless you have tiny kids. 1.00

01:11:54.000 Yeah, that's true. 1.00

01:11:57.000 It has a lot of space if you're a bachelor and you don't have kids and shit. 0.98

01:12:01.000 They really shouldn't upholster it like it's a seat, because you're lying. 0.98

01:12:06.000 I've seen people back there before.

01:12:08.000 I'm dead serious.

01:12:09.000 Grown-ups.

01:12:10.000 I get it, but it's terribly uncomfortable.

01:12:13.000 It's weird.

01:12:14.000 Even now, I brought a lot of stuff when I drove in now, and I was able to flip.

01:12:19.000 I can flip down a seat, and then I had my luggage, and then I had my duffel, my backpack, and then a bunch of other stuff that I had.

01:12:26.000 I put it in the frunk.

01:12:27.000 Yeah.

01:12:28.000 It was good to go.

01:12:29.000 That's true.

01:12:30.000 You can definitely get some stuff behind you, whereas if you have a real sports car like a Lamborghini, there's nothing behind you.

01:12:36.000 It's a mid-engine.

01:12:37.000 It's uselessness.

01:12:38.000 Or even the Corvette.

01:12:39.000 The new Corvette, there's nothing back there.

01:12:42.000 There really isn't.

01:12:43.000 There's no room.

01:12:43.000 And even the trunk's a joke.

01:12:45.000 It's this big.

01:12:46.000 You've got room for a bag of groceries.

01:12:47.000 Which is weird, though, because the Corvette is actually a damn good daily driver car.

01:12:51.000 Yeah.

01:12:52.000 But from a functionality standpoint, in terms of living, From a space perspective, not so much.

01:12:58.000 It's going to be weird to see where cars go because I think they're all going to go electric.

01:13:03.000 They are.

01:13:04.000 I think we've got maybe a decade or so.

01:13:07.000 Which is why I think the new GT3 is such a big deal.

01:13:09.000 Yeah.

01:13:12.000 The antithesis of everything with respect to where the cars are going to be going.

01:13:17.000 Naturally aspirated, 500 horsepower.

01:13:20.000 I mean, it screams up to 9,000 RPM. It's so fast, too.

01:13:26.000 And it handles so well.

01:13:27.000 It cut the Nürburgring time down by...

01:13:30.000 It did it in seven minutes.

01:13:32.000 Yeah, seven minutes.

01:13:33.000 No, under seven minutes.

01:13:34.000 That's crazy.

01:13:35.000 That's so fast.

01:13:36.000 What's the world record on the Nürburgring with a production car?

01:13:40.000 Is it?

01:13:41.000 I wonder what it is.

01:13:42.000 I don't know.

01:13:42.000 Because I think they said the 911 GT3 is as fast as the 918 supercar.

01:13:47.000 Yeah, it did it faster than the 918. That's nuts.

01:13:50.000 That's nuts.

01:13:51.000 And it did it 17 seconds faster than the previous GT3. That's nuts.

01:13:57.000 And then did it a couple seconds faster than the GT3 RS up current.

01:14:03.000 What?

01:14:04.000 That is so crazy.

01:14:06.000 The only thing that beat it within the Porsche lineup is the GT2 RS. That thing is a Widowmaker.

01:14:14.000 Yeah, my buddy Brendan Schaub has one of those. 0.96

01:14:17.000 It's a ridiculous car.

01:14:18.000 Here, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series broke the Nürburgring production car record.

01:14:24.000 Let me see what that looks like.

01:14:27.000 So I drove one of those on a track one.

01:14:29.000 Not that one in particular.

01:14:30.000 Look at that thing. 0.92

01:14:31.000 You don't like it?

01:14:32.000 No, I do.

01:14:33.000 That thing's beautiful.

01:14:34.000 My God, look at that thing.

01:14:36.000 Look at the vented fenders, the front fenders. 1.00

01:14:38.000 I think it looks like a penis, though. 1.00

01:14:39.000 I like dicks. 1.00

01:14:40.000 I mean, I like my own. 0.99

01:14:45.000 I like big red ones.

01:14:46.000 What?

01:14:46.000 What did I say?

01:14:47.000 That looks fucking great, man. 1.00

01:14:49.000 You think that looks like a dick? 1.00

01:14:50.000 I don't know what your dick looks like, but maybe you should go to a doctor. 1.00

01:14:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:14:53.000 You got the balls in the back and then you got the... 0.98

01:14:55.000 That thing looks great, man. 0.94

01:14:56.000 I think it's a good looking car.

01:14:57.000 I really do. 0.97

01:14:58.000 I think it looks fucking amazing. 0.86

01:14:59.000 I mean, it's basically a muscle car. 1.00

01:15:01.000 Hit the fucking gas on that. 1.00

01:15:03.000 Woo! 1.00

01:15:04.000 Come on, man. 0.99

01:15:05.000 That thing's fucking beautiful. 0.99

01:15:08.000 That's beautiful. 1.00

01:15:09.000 I'd still take a Porsche over it.

01:15:12.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:15:14.000 I wouldn't hate it.

01:15:15.000 Nah, I mean, yeah, we're splitting hairs at this point. 1.00

01:15:17.000 Look at the wing on that motherfucker. 1.00

01:15:18.000 That wing is ridiculous. 1.00

01:15:20.000 What was the time they said they did Norberg ring on? 0.96

01:15:23.000 Didn't say. 0.98

01:15:26.000 I'm generally not into red cars, but that's fucking gorgeous. 0.89

01:15:30.000 Would you call that red or like an orange fire red or something like that? 0.94

01:15:34.000 That's a good question.

01:15:35.000 I don't like that green.

01:15:36.000 I've seen that green version of it a few times.

01:15:38.000 Scroll back up, Jamie, to the top photo.

01:15:42.000 I guess that's red.

01:15:43.000 Is that red?

01:15:44.000 That kind of gives me orange.

01:15:45.000 You don't think that's red?

01:15:46.000 It's orange of some kind.

01:15:47.000 It's like flame orange.

01:15:48.000 Whatever it is, it's dope.

01:15:50.000 Infrared, maybe?

01:15:51.000 Infrared, ooh. 1.00

01:15:52.000 That's a fucking beautiful car, man. 0.99

01:15:54.000 I love that thing. 0.99

01:15:56.000 I like the flared fenders, too.

01:15:58.000 It's wider than the standard.

01:16:00.000 So what does it say with the...

01:16:02.000 I didn't see a time anywhere.

01:16:04.000 Man, that's a sleek piece of engineering.

01:16:08.000 But it's weird because I would assume that a mid-engine car would be better at handling the Nurburgring.

01:16:15.000 I think it's incredible considering... 0.96

01:16:17.000 Damn, 643, that's so crazy. 0.99

01:16:20.000 Straight from the box. 1.00

01:16:22.000 Oh my god.

01:16:24.000 Wow.

01:16:28.000 Wow, that's amazing.

01:16:31.000 That's amazing.

01:16:33.000 I mean, it's a good-looking car.

01:16:34.000 I'll give you that.

01:16:35.000 $389,000.

01:16:36.000 Woo! 0.99

01:16:38.000 Yeah.

01:16:38.000 Someone's ballin'.

01:16:39.000 I won't be saying that in my lifetime.

01:16:42.000 You never know.

01:16:44.000 YouTube monetizes you again. 1.00

01:16:47.000 Do they fuck with you? 1.00

01:16:48.000 Do they pull your shit down? 1.00

01:16:50.000 Man, it's like in cycles. 1.00

01:16:52.000 It's really weird.

01:16:53.000 Yeah?

01:16:54.000 Like, sometimes they'll leave me alone, and then other times it's just, like, bad.

01:16:58.000 I was wondering what was going to happen during the pandemic because all these liberals started buying up guns.

01:17:04.000 A lot of my liberal friends were buying guns and asking me about guns and this.

01:17:09.000 Yeah, reality has a weird way of doing that.

01:17:11.000 Oh man, when you saw the lines, when there was lines at the gun stores, I was like, this is fascinating.

01:17:17.000 What it was was a literal example, real world example of what I've been saying for the last 10, 15 years.

01:17:23.000 True.

01:17:24.000 About, look, at the end of the day, the only person responsible for your safety is you.

01:17:28.000 Can't depend on the government.

01:17:29.000 They won't be there.

01:17:30.000 Not because they don't want to be.

01:17:31.000 They can't.

01:17:32.000 Especially when things go sideways.

01:17:34.000 When civilization goes sideways, and we, relatively speaking, got lucky with the pandemic because it was a fairly mild virus in comparison to if something killed 30% of the population.

01:17:46.000 We got, like, Spanish flu version?

01:17:49.000 We got Mad Max.

01:17:50.000 Then it's madness. 1.00

01:17:52.000 And then, you know, fuck. 1.00

01:17:55.000 Then it can get real scary. 1.00

01:17:56.000 Very much so.

01:17:57.000 It was scary already, man. 0.99

01:17:59.000 It was scary seeing all these fucking people lining up at the gun store. 0.99

01:18:02.000 Because I'm like, first of all, these people don't have any... 0.99

01:18:05.000 I would like to, like, raise of hands.

01:18:07.000 How many of you guys have ever shot a gun?

01:18:09.000 How many of you guys know how to shoot a gun?

01:18:11.000 How many of you know about just basic gun safety?

01:18:15.000 None.

01:18:15.000 They just want to be protected.

01:18:17.000 I think...

01:18:19.000 That is the biggest problem we have with respect to the conversation on a national level.

01:18:23.000 Because if you think about it, we have over 400 million guns in this country.

01:18:26.000 Why don't we have a bigger initiative to inform people, even people who don't own guns, about guns?

01:18:34.000 It's part of our life.

01:18:35.000 I think because they think it'll encourage people to buy guns and they don't want to encourage people to buy guns.

01:18:41.000 Which is true.

01:18:41.000 Which is very true.

01:18:42.000 But it also speaks to how disingenuous the whole gun control thing is.

01:18:47.000 And I keep saying it.

01:18:48.000 Gun control is disingenuous.

01:18:49.000 Because if the goal is about saving lives, you would do the things that would actually save lives.

01:18:54.000 Instead, what you do is you grandstand.

01:18:56.000 And you do things that really honestly are designed to further restrict a right To take those guns away from people.

01:19:04.000 And a lot of people think that's very conspiratorial.

01:19:06.000 But I've been following this long enough to know what the end goal is.

01:19:09.000 Because if you follow the logical deduction of gun control, the only answer is to take all the guns. 0.65

01:19:15.000 That's it.

01:19:16.000 Yeah, well, there's too many of them now.

01:19:18.000 It's an insurmountable problem. 0.98

01:19:19.000 And I think it's a problem that if they really do try to say, we're going to take your guns, the blowback would be fucking crazy.

01:19:26.000 Like, just a blowback to people saying, we're going to do a vaccine passport. 0.85

01:19:29.000 People started freaking out.

01:19:30.000 As they should.

01:19:31.000 And then the Biden administration was like, no, no, no, we're not doing that.

01:19:34.000 We have no plans for a vaccine passport.

01:19:36.000 But there was a lot of irresponsible people that were saying, this is what we need, a vaccine passport.

01:19:40.000 And you see, that is...

01:19:43.000 Exactly why.

01:19:44.000 There's a lot of pessimistic thinking, especially in the gun community, where, like, I put out videos and I'm like, you know, you're just preaching to the choir.

01:19:52.000 And I'm not.

01:19:54.000 You're not.

01:19:54.000 I'm not.

01:19:55.000 Because there's a lot of people that I know that are not even gun owners that will send me your video.

01:19:59.000 And say, hey, your friend made a great point about this.

01:20:03.000 And they'll go, I'm thinking about it now in a different way because of these videos.

01:20:07.000 You're not preaching to the choir.

01:20:08.000 You're making a lot of logical points.

01:20:11.000 And because of the fact that you're a lawyer, you understand all the sort of mechanisms of the way legislation gets passed and the way this could be a real problem down the line.

01:20:22.000 Yeah, very much so.

01:20:23.000 But the thing about it, too, is it's...

01:20:26.000 I think a lot of people don't understand the actual power we have as people in this country in comparison with respect to the relationship we have with the government.

01:20:35.000 It's supposed to be a working relationship.

01:20:36.000 It's not supposed to be one of dominance.

01:20:38.000 And I think too many people just kind of throw their hands up and accept it.

01:20:41.000 It's like it's the government.

01:20:42.000 I mean, what are you going to do, right?

01:20:44.000 So we have to plead to them to give us things or do things that we know.

01:20:47.000 That's not necessarily the case like you pointed out with the passports. 0.97

01:20:50.000 You create enough issue with it, with enough people, they'll understand, shit, we can't do this.

01:20:56.000 And so I think that is the one thing that I try to implore a lot of people that watch my videos is like, no, you have the power to protect the rights that you deem to be important rights.

01:21:07.000 But you have to do it before they get changed.

01:21:10.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:21:10.000 Because once they get changed, we're fucked. 1.00

01:21:12.000 Because a lot of people don't remember, but... 0.99

01:21:14.000 During the Obama administration, there were some calls by that administration to regulate the internet.

01:21:21.000 They were talking about regulating the internet, and people freaked the fuck out.

01:21:25.000 People were like, what, the government is going to step in and tell people what they can and can't put online?

01:21:28.000 And then they backed off of it.

01:21:30.000 But they're okay with the government telling you what gun you can own to protect your life.

01:21:33.000 See, they're only okay if it's not real, right?

01:21:36.000 In their world, it's not applicable.

01:21:39.000 They're not being attacked.

01:21:40.000 No one's breaking into their home.

01:21:42.000 They don't live in a neighborhood where they have to defend themselves all the time.

01:21:44.000 So they think it's not a factor until it is a factor.

01:21:47.000 And when it becomes a factor, it's too late.

01:21:51.000 What I'm worried about with all this talk about gun control is, first of all, I don't think people really understand that there are folks out there who have saved their loved ones lives and saved their lives because they had a gun. 0.99

01:22:07.000 All you hear about is some crazy fuck goes and shoots up a church or some crazy fuck goes and shoots up a school and we gotta take the guns away. 0.99

01:22:16.000 You know what's crazy? 1.00

01:22:16.000 You know why you hear about that so much? 1.00

01:22:18.000 Because it's rare.

01:22:25.000 Yeah.

01:22:27.000 Yeah.

01:22:31.000 Yeah.

01:22:38.000 But on the low end, we're talking about 500,000 to 600,000 people every year use a gun to defend themselves.

01:22:43.000 And that was a number cited by an anti-gun organization.

01:22:47.000 What is the number?

01:22:47.000 About 500,000 to 600,000 people.

01:22:50.000 Every year to defend themselves?

01:22:51.000 Every year to defend themselves.

01:22:52.000 On the high end, it's like 2 million.

01:22:55.000 What?

01:22:55.000 Yeah.

01:22:56.000 Wow. 1.00

01:22:57.000 So this is someone breaking into your house, trying to steal your car, that kind of shit. 1.00

01:23:00.000 A lot of it, too, goes unreported. 0.99

01:23:02.000 So, for instance, if somebody tries to rob me and I pull out my gun to defend myself and they take off, I'm not necessarily going to call it cops.

01:23:09.000 Yeah.

01:23:09.000 Right?

01:23:10.000 But...

01:23:12.000 A lot of people don't hear about those things because where are you going to hear about it?

01:23:15.000 Except for platforms like mine.

01:23:17.000 Right.

01:23:17.000 And then I'm struggling every day because I'm getting shadow banned or, you know, some videos getting demonetized or taken down.

01:23:23.000 So it's hard for me to get that information out there.

01:23:25.000 Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

01:23:27.000 One of the things, like, did anything shift when people started buying guns?

01:23:31.000 When there was this moment where, what was the number of gun sales went up?

01:23:37.000 Something crazy. 1.00

01:23:38.000 Shit, it was crazy. 1.00

01:23:39.000 Like 40-something percent. 1.00

01:23:40.000 It was higher than that.

01:23:41.000 Really?

01:23:41.000 Yeah.

01:23:42.000 Okay, let's find it.

01:23:43.000 Let's guess.

01:23:43.000 I'm thinking it's like 40%.

01:23:45.000 Jamie, what do you think?

01:23:46.000 What's your guess?

01:23:47.000 What's the percentage?

01:23:48.000 Yeah, that sounds right.

01:23:49.000 I have a different question.

01:23:51.000 Okay, go ahead.

01:23:52.000 I'm looking that up because I see the statistic of 500,000 to 3 million.

01:23:57.000 But why would the Center for Disease Control be doing that?

01:24:02.000 Really?

01:24:02.000 Because they want to make it a healthcare issue.

01:24:07.000 You hear them say it all the time.

01:24:09.000 They say this is a public health issue.

01:24:11.000 It's easier to sell gun control when you deem it a public.

01:24:14.000 It's no different than COVID and a vaccine.

01:24:17.000 Why wouldn't it be the ATF, though?

01:24:19.000 Because it's easier to sell it as a public health issue.

01:24:22.000 I know, but firearms is literally in their title.

01:24:24.000 And if you say it the way Biden says it, you switch firearms and tobacco.

01:24:24.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:27.000 That AFT. But you got to...

01:24:31.000 Yeah.

01:24:32.000 They're very good.

01:24:33.000 The one thing I will say about them, and when I say them, I mean the gun control lobby, which generally speaking, and I got a lot of people who follow me who are more liberal, they hate when I bring up the Democrats.

01:24:43.000 They hate it because they think I'm just trying to push this one-sided...

01:24:47.000 Narrative with respect to the Republicans.

01:24:50.000 No.

01:24:51.000 It is what it is.

01:24:53.000 If you look at all the gun control legislation, you look at anybody who's pushing gun control, the vast majority of them, I'm talking 99% of the time, they are Democrats.

01:25:03.000 Why do you think that is?

01:25:04.000 Because Democrats are, the Democratic ideology is based around bigger government.

01:25:11.000 Right?

01:25:11.000 And so you can't necessarily exact your control over a group of people if they have something as self-reliant as a firearm.

01:25:18.000 Do you really think that's what it is?

01:25:20.000 I do think that to a degree that is it.

01:25:21.000 I think it's that the ideology behind being a left-wing person is you want less violence and I think maybe you're more reluctant to actually take into account real human nature and the real potential breakdown of society that would cause you to need a gun.

01:25:39.000 I think they're more idealistic, more utopian, and perhaps more delusional.

01:25:44.000 I think the people who vote Democrat believe that.

01:25:47.000 I think the people in power have a different agenda.

01:25:52.000 And honestly, they are the proverbial hammer.

01:25:56.000 So when your fundamental ideologies are based around bigger government, you think the solution for everything is more government.

01:26:05.000 So if a shooting happens, right, and come on, do we really think government is the most efficient entity at solving problems in our country?

01:26:16.000 No.

01:26:17.000 People complain about the government all the time.

01:26:19.000 But when you are the government, Right.

01:26:28.000 Right.

01:26:43.000 It's an oversimplified approach to any problem that comes up because they're not really about getting to the true issue of the problem.

01:26:52.000 They just want to either look like they're doing something about it, and so they'll just take the easiest approach.

01:26:58.000 Or they'll try to scapegoat it on something because at the end of the day, they realize that their ineptitude with respect to leadership is going to be put on full blast.

01:27:08.000 We're good to go.

01:27:19.000 And we have 400 million guns in this country.

01:27:21.000 Is it really 80%? 0.93

01:27:22.000 Damn near yes. 0.85

01:27:24.000 It's high. 0.98

01:27:25.000 It's high.

01:27:26.000 I'm talking gun homicides.

01:27:27.000 Right.

01:27:28.000 Not like gun deaths.

01:27:29.000 Right.

01:27:30.000 And it's driven by gang and drug violence.

01:27:34.000 And with gun deaths, then you start including suicide.

01:27:37.000 Exactly.

01:27:37.000 Yeah.

01:27:38.000 And so if you understand that, that means that we're having a high concentrated level of violence in very specific areas in this country.

01:27:46.000 And as a result of that, you look at that and you say, okay, well, we have high concentrated – we have an era of concentrated violence in specific areas, but yet we have guns all across the country that don't have this violence.

01:27:57.000 So clearly there's something else going on here other than the fact that there are guns.

01:28:02.000 And then predominantly these inner cities are led by Democrats.

01:28:08.000 It just is what it is.

01:28:09.000 It's not me playing politics.

01:28:10.000 And they have heavy gun control, which is even crazier.

01:28:13.000 So it stands to reason you're not doing something in these places that you should be doing in order to deal with this violence.

01:28:21.000 And in my research and in my study, when I was reading this book, it's called, I think it's like Don't Shoot or something like that.

01:28:28.000 I can't remember the exact title of it.

01:28:29.000 So I was reading this book and it was talking about this program called Ceasefire.

01:28:34.000 There is a program currently now that's called ceasefire, but I don't think it's the same program, or it's a former shell of itself.

01:28:39.000 But this guy, this criminologist, he set out, and I think it was done in Boston, and they were dealing with a lot of violence in their inner cities.

01:28:50.000 And so what they did is they put together a program.

01:28:53.000 It was a very holistic approach to the violence.

01:28:54.000 And essentially, the cops came together along with the community leaders and so forth and so on, and they knew who the perpetrators were of this violence.

01:29:02.000 You got to think about it.

01:29:03.000 Do we really honestly believe that the vast majority of these kids in the inner city are killers?

01:29:08.000 No.

01:29:09.000 It takes a very specific type of person to be a killer.

01:29:12.000 So a lot of the killings that are taking place in these places are done by a very hyper-focused group of kids in these areas.

01:29:19.000 And the vast majority of the time, the police know who these kids are.

01:29:23.000 Police know who the perpetrators of this violence are.

01:29:25.000 And so what they did is they came together.

01:29:27.000 They said, all right, here's what we're going to do.

01:29:30.000 And they brought the leaders of the gangs and the kids who were out on the street, so forth and so on, came together and said, look, we're not going to say we're not going to arrest you for the drug dealing.

01:29:41.000 Because, I mean, whatever happens, happens with respect to that.

01:29:43.000 But if the bodies continue, we're going to make life incredibly hard for you on these streets.

01:29:50.000 Really hard.

01:29:52.000 And as time went on, the violence stopped.

01:29:57.000 The number went down.

01:29:59.000 Because at the end of the day, you got to think about a lot of these kids are carrying guns not because they want to go and kill someone.

01:30:03.000 They're carrying guns because they're scared.

01:30:05.000 They've grown up in an environment that has forced them to engage in the lifestyle that they're in, generally speaking.

01:30:11.000 So if I'm a kid, and even if I don't want to partake in this particular lifestyle, if that's the only thing that surrounds me, and I know at any given point my life could be threatened, I'm going to carry a gun too.

01:30:21.000 Or even if I'm a kid that's like, look, I just want to make some extra money.

01:30:25.000 I'm not justifying drug dealers.

01:30:26.000 I'm not justifying the selling of drugs.

01:30:28.000 But if I'm a kid who just says, you know what, I want to sell money because I grew up, the only form of success that I've seen were the drug dealers in my area, so I'm going to sell drugs.

01:30:36.000 Of course he's going to carry a firearm.

01:30:37.000 He's selling drugs.

01:30:38.000 There are going to be other people who are going to try to take his product, so forth and so on.

01:30:41.000 Doesn't necessarily mean he's a killer, right?

01:30:44.000 So when you focus entirely on the firearm and only on the firearm, It doesn't do anything to actually deal with the underlying issue that's happening in these places.

01:30:55.000 It's a socioeconomic issue.

01:30:57.000 When you grow up in poverty, I'm sorry, there's going to be a predisposition with respect to your area.

01:31:03.000 You're going to have more violence there because what is the natural economy there?

01:31:06.000 That's one of the weirder aspects of gun violence is the reluctance to address the violence in inner cities while focusing on the violence of the rare mass shooter.

01:31:06.000 Drugs.

01:31:16.000 Because the inner city, like if you look at the south side of Chicago, it's a regular basis.

01:31:21.000 It's almost every weekend there's a bunch of homicides.

01:31:21.000 Yeah.

01:31:24.000 I think the reason why is because, like, you actually touched on it.

01:31:29.000 How do you avoid inner city violence?

01:31:32.000 You're going to have to fix the crime.

01:31:33.000 No, no, I mean just you.

01:31:34.000 How do you avoid being a victim?

01:31:35.000 Stay out of the inner city.

01:31:36.000 Exactly.

01:31:37.000 However, when people feel like some random yo-yo can walk into a store and just start shooting people, it terrifies them, which is understandable. 0.83

01:31:45.000 It's totally understandable.

01:31:46.000 But none of these laws that they're proposing do anything to stop this.

01:31:51.000 They won't.

01:31:52.000 No.

01:31:53.000 So it begs the question, is the goal really to try to save lives?

01:31:57.000 Or are they leveraging these shootings to get this specific agenda that they have passed?

01:32:03.000 You know, there's another thing.

01:32:04.000 There's a reluctance to ever accept the fact that in certain situations, like in Boulder, Colorado, when that guy walked in the supermarket and started shooting people, If there was a person there that was trained with a firearm that knew what was going on and knew how to use it,

01:32:20.000 they could have taken that guy out.

01:32:21.000 Absolutely.

01:32:21.000 That's a fact.

01:32:22.000 If someone was a Navy SEAL and they just happened to be in that place and they were carrying, that would have been over.

01:32:28.000 I don't even think the person needs to be in ABC. But if it was.

01:32:31.000 That's an example of someone who's highly trained and knows exactly how to use a gun.

01:32:36.000 But if you have someone who's well-trained and has a gun in that situation, people don't want to admit that that is a factor, that someone can save lives.

01:32:46.000 It's happened before.

01:32:47.000 There's been mass shooters.

01:32:48.000 There was one that guy in a church, right?

01:32:50.000 Literally.

01:32:51.000 And you know what?

01:32:52.000 Oh, this made me so mad.

01:32:55.000 After that shooting happened, I mean, we saw it on video.

01:32:59.000 On video.

01:32:59.000 Yeah.

01:33:00.000 The guy walked in, shot two people. 0.85

01:33:02.000 Guy in the church got his gun out, shot him dead before he can kill anyone else. 0.95

01:33:05.000 Yeah.

01:33:06.000 Bloomberg gets a press conference and literally says, I don't think the regular person should be walking around with a firearm. 1.00

01:33:15.000 Meanwhile, Bloomberg has armed guards, that motherfucker. 1.00

01:33:18.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:33:19.000 He's a billionaire.

01:33:20.000 You don't think that guy's got train killers?

01:33:22.000 And guess who is one of the biggest drivers financially for the gun control lobby in this country?

01:33:28.000 That guy.

01:33:28.000 Bloomberg.

01:33:29.000 Why?

01:33:30.000 I don't know.

01:33:31.000 He's made it his life mission to basically push gun control.

01:33:36.000 That's his thing.

01:33:37.000 But what do you think motivates someone like that?

01:33:39.000 I think if you look at Bloomberg, considering who he is, I think a lot of it is there is a control power factor with respect to...

01:33:47.000 He just doesn't like...

01:33:48.000 Think about it.

01:33:49.000 If I'm a billionaire to the degree that Bloomberg is, right?

01:33:54.000 Right.

01:33:55.000 I'm sitting here on Mount Olympus, right?

01:34:00.000 The only thing that brings me back down here to regular people is the fact that you mean any of these regular people can be walking around with a firearm and decided they want to kill me, they just can't?

01:34:12.000 It's a level of humility I don't think he wants to deal with.

01:34:17.000 Because that's what makes everyone equal.

01:34:21.000 I don't think he likes that.

01:34:23.000 I really don't.

01:34:24.000 And so in his mind, he's like, the more I can get the guns out of the hands of the people, the higher on how Mount Olympus I get to sit without worrying.

01:34:33.000 And I think this is the case for a lot of people who are considered the elite.

01:34:37.000 They don't like that idea.

01:34:38.000 They don't like the fact that the common man can have any gun he wants.

01:34:41.000 It just bothers them.

01:34:43.000 I wonder if that's true.

01:34:45.000 I think there's a thing in liberal orthodoxy, and liberal orthodoxy is we need gun control.

01:34:52.000 And if you argue against that and go, well, you know what?

01:34:54.000 Sometimes guns save lives.

01:34:57.000 People just blow a circuit.

01:35:00.000 They can't handle it because it's a narrative they don't like to accept.

01:35:04.000 Well, I think because it's a lot easier to see yourself as a victim Of gun violence than it is to see you as a protector of your life.

01:35:13.000 It's a heavy thing to kind of accept.

01:35:17.000 Because it's so much more satisfying to think that if something happens, I can pick up the phone, call the cops, and somebody else will come deal with it.

01:35:23.000 But didn't everybody learn from this pandemic that, especially after the George Floyd protests, that cops aren't, they're not that effective.

01:35:33.000 Yeah, we have short memories, man.

01:35:35.000 Yeah, but that's so short. 0.95

01:35:37.000 I mean, it's happened, like, over the last few months, when people realize, like, when shit gets crazy and they start burning cop cars, like, cops aren't gonna come when you call them. 0.81

01:35:46.000 And that's all it would take. 0.95

01:35:47.000 All it takes is, like, one well-armed group of people to attack a police department, and they're done.

01:35:54.000 That's it.

01:35:55.000 Done.

01:35:55.000 But our memories are short.

01:35:55.000 Yeah.

01:35:57.000 And, you know, and these politicians play on those memories.

01:36:00.000 Like, even if you take into account the laws they try to pass, because people get on me all the time, they call me a fearmonger, because I tell them, no, their ultimate goal is to take guns.

01:36:10.000 Yes, there are 400 million of them, but their ultimate goal is to take guns.

01:36:14.000 That's essentially what it is.

01:36:15.000 And the way I can prove it, and they literally leverage our short memory.

01:36:21.000 I think part of it too is that that's how you get elected, by saying that you're going to do something about guns.

01:36:28.000 Because those people that are a part of this sort of liberal orthodoxy, this liberal ideology...

01:36:34.000 They think that's a problem.

01:36:36.000 You need to get rid of guns.

01:36:37.000 We got gun violence.

01:36:38.000 You need to get rid of those guns.

01:36:39.000 So this guy says he's going to get rid of those guns.

01:36:41.000 That's what I want to hear.

01:36:42.000 And then this guy's saying, we need the Second Amendment to stay strong.

01:36:45.000 And no!

01:36:47.000 He's going to get more guns!

01:36:49.000 There was a cartoon that was released recently that someone put together that was showing Guns that are legal versus guns that are illegal and how confusing it is.

01:36:57.000 Because what was Biden trying to push?

01:37:01.000 There's something about stocks, about stabilizers for pistols.

01:37:05.000 Stabilizing pistols, yeah.

01:37:06.000 Stabilizing pistol brace.

01:37:07.000 Yeah.

01:37:07.000 But then there's other ones that have a brace that are legal.

01:37:13.000 So essentially, I could actually show you right now if you really wanted to.

01:37:16.000 Yeah, show me.

01:37:17.000 Alright, so I have...

01:37:19.000 There's a video.

01:37:20.000 I'm going to see if I can find this video too.

01:37:22.000 What do you got?

01:37:23.000 You got guns on you?

01:37:24.000 Jesus Christ, how dare you? 0.94

01:37:26.000 Bring a gun into this place.

01:37:28.000 How dare you, sir? 0.98

01:37:31.000 I'm going to find this.

01:37:32.000 I think it's on...

01:37:33.000 I don't know if it's that one.

01:37:36.000 Is this it?

01:37:36.000 Yeah, this is it.

01:37:38.000 Jamie, go to...

01:37:40.000 Here, I'll send you this.

01:37:42.000 I'll send you this.

01:37:44.000 Because this is very bizarre.

01:37:46.000 It's on this Instagram page that I follow.

01:37:55.000 Okay, I just sent it to you.

01:37:56.000 It's this video from the underscore typical underscore liberal on Instagram.

01:38:03.000 But it's a cartoon. 1.00

01:38:04.000 This is a goddamn gun on television. 1.00

01:38:07.000 You're going to get us pulled off of... 1.00

01:38:08.000 Oh, you can't.

01:38:08.000 We're on Spotify.

01:38:09.000 Ha ha.

01:38:13.000 So this is the brace that Joe Biden wants to regulate that would make this.

01:38:18.000 Bring it out here so everyone can see what's going on here.

01:38:21.000 So that is technically a pistol?

01:38:23.000 This is a pistol.

01:38:24.000 That does not look like a pistol.

01:38:25.000 That's something Chuck Norris would have.

01:38:28.000 So the reason why this is considered a pistol is because there isn't a stock.

01:38:32.000 This is not a stock.

01:38:33.000 This is a brace.

01:38:35.000 And I know the guy.

01:38:36.000 I'm good friends with the guy who actually invented this.

01:38:38.000 So what the brace was designed to do is he had a friend who was a veteran who was injured.

01:38:42.000 And so it's hard to shoot a pistol of this size with one hand.

01:38:47.000 So what this is designed to do is you take this here, this opens up, you wrap it around your arm, and it allows you to stabilize the gun.

01:38:55.000 Oh, okay, so it's like a Velcro deal.

01:38:56.000 Exactly.

01:38:57.000 So the thing about it is, is what the people have a problem with, it's, sure, could I use this and put it on my shoulder to shoot?

01:39:04.000 Yes, I can.

01:39:05.000 That's not what it was designed for, though.

01:39:06.000 So you can't go just reclassify this because people are using this in a way that wasn't intended to be used for in the first place.

01:39:13.000 So it's just that it makes it more accurate?

01:39:14.000 Is that what it is?

01:39:15.000 It just stabilizes it so you can shoot it more accurately, especially if I'm somebody who's injured and I can only shoot with one hand.

01:39:22.000 Yeah, but I mean, what's next?

01:39:24.000 We're going to get rid of red dots?

01:39:26.000 I mean, that's where we're going.

01:39:27.000 We're going to go to only open sites because iron sites are less accurate?

01:39:31.000 But I mean, isn't that the whole point of a firearm is to be as proficient as possible at stopping the thing that's attacking you?

01:39:36.000 But again, it boils down to the idea that you never see yourself as a defender, you see yourself as the victim.

01:39:42.000 And so you want to do everything in your power to make the person who you feel is going to attack you with these things less able to do that.

01:39:50.000 But not realizing that By doing that, all it does is it takes away the guns from the people who are good and need to have them to defend themselves against the people who are bad who are gonna break the laws anyway to get the very thing that you thought you were gonna keep them from getting.

01:40:02.000 Yeah, but there's also like gun culture that people don't like.

01:40:06.000 The celebration of shooting things and blowing things up. 0.97

01:40:09.000 People get angry at that because they feel like it's glorifying it and they feel like you're gonna get those guns and put them in the hands of shitty toxic male people and they're gonna want to shoot people. 0.99

01:40:20.000 If 400 million guns in this country, if we were a problem, you would know it. 0.99

01:40:24.000 Yeah, but...

01:40:25.000 It's really that simple.

01:40:27.000 There's so many guns, right?

01:40:29.000 That's what's crazy.

01:40:30.000 There's more guns in people.

01:40:31.000 And yet and still, we don't lead the world in gun deaths.

01:40:35.000 Who does?

01:40:37.000 That's a good question.

01:40:38.000 I think we...

01:40:39.000 Because we came in like...

01:40:40.000 We were like right...

01:40:42.000 I think we're like at 12, number 12 or something like that.

01:40:44.000 Really?

01:40:45.000 Yeah, we're not.

01:40:45.000 I thought we were number one.

01:40:46.000 No, we're not.

01:40:48.000 We need to work harder, boys.

01:40:49.000 We're not.

01:40:50.000 We're number one.

01:40:51.000 No, but even still, again, 65% of those are suicides.

01:40:56.000 Right.

01:40:57.000 And so I can hear people say all the time, they'll say, well, those suicides are more efficiently done because of guns.

01:41:05.000 So I was like, so what's the solution?

01:41:09.000 Bang guns. 0.57

01:41:10.000 Make it harder to kill yourself? 0.91

01:41:10.000 Yeah. 0.91

01:41:13.000 By banning guns.

01:41:15.000 But like I said at the beginning of this, the only logical conclusion is to ban guns.

01:41:21.000 What's up?

01:41:23.000 United States is low if you're going per capita, but you take the top ten and you add them all up and it's not as many as it happened in the United States.

01:41:30.000 So we're number one.

01:41:32.000 Number two behind Brazil.

01:41:33.000 In terms of the actual total number?

01:41:35.000 Total deaths, yeah.

01:41:36.000 Total deaths.

01:41:36.000 Now what's the population of Brazil?

01:41:39.000 Brazil's got a lot of people.

01:41:40.000 Wow.

01:41:42.000 We're number one, number two by 14,000?

01:41:47.000 But per 100,000, we're number 25, 20?

01:41:51.000 Which I think is a more accurate assessment if you take into account the number.

01:41:55.000 What's the population of people in Brazil?

01:41:57.000 So per capita, we're number 20. Brazil has a lot of people.

01:42:00.000 Go back to the actual numbers again.

01:42:02.000 What are we at there?

01:42:04.000 This is of 2016. So there's 6,000-ish more in Brazil per year than the United States.

01:42:14.000 That's surprising.

01:42:16.000 But deaths per 100,000, they have 19, we have 10. That's a big jump.

01:42:20.000 It's almost double.

01:42:21.000 There's way more people in India and they have way less.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, way more people, right?

01:42:25.000 They have like a billion people.

01:42:26.000 And then Mexico is surprisingly low.

01:42:29.000 Look at Mexico, that's really low.

01:42:31.000 I'm kind of shocked by that.

01:42:33.000 They have less than half of what we have.

01:42:35.000 Huh.

01:42:36.000 Interesting.

01:42:37.000 Deaths per 100,000.

01:42:38.000 Are you talking about population?

01:42:40.000 No, the amount of deaths they have total.

01:42:43.000 Yeah, but what's the population in Mexico?

01:42:45.000 Well, it says deaths per 100,000.

01:42:47.000 They have 11.8 deaths.

01:42:49.000 We have 10.6.

01:42:52.000 So wouldn't that make them more than us?

01:42:54.000 There's a total death.

01:42:55.000 In terms of per capita.

01:42:57.000 Yeah, per capita they're higher.

01:42:57.000 But as far as total numbers.

01:43:00.000 Bro, look at Venezuela.

01:43:01.000 38?

01:43:02.000 Oh, yeah.

01:43:03.000 Deaths per 100,000.

01:43:03.000 They have a lot more.

01:43:04.000 Holy shit, man. 1.00

01:43:06.000 They're number one. 0.99

01:43:07.000 Or El Salvador.

01:43:07.000 El Salvador's 39. It's only 2,500 people died, just comparatively.

01:43:12.000 Still.

01:43:13.000 Super dangerous.

01:43:15.000 13 in Greenland.

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 Yeah, but Greenland has a population of two people.

01:43:18.000 Yeah, they just killed each other and they jumped up to number one.

01:43:22.000 Yeah, it's...

01:43:23.000 Wow, Puerto Rico's that high on the list?

01:43:25.000 Go back up to that.

01:43:26.000 I'm going to have to call John Donahue.

01:43:27.000 Why is it counted separately?

01:43:28.000 It's part of America.

01:43:29.000 Because it's not.

01:43:31.000 It is.

01:43:34.000 It is not America. 0.68

01:43:35.000 It's like, neither is Hawaii, you know? 1.00

01:43:37.000 I mean, Hawaii is America, but let's be honest, we stole that shit. 1.00

01:43:42.000 You know? 1.00

01:43:43.000 Not we, but somebody did.

01:43:46.000 It's five hours by plane in the middle of the ocean. 0.99

01:43:48.000 How the fuck is that America? 0.98

01:43:50.000 It's true. 0.99

01:43:50.000 It's kind of like all cities in Houston. 0.99

01:43:52.000 Yeah.

01:43:53.000 This chart is kind of surprising, seeing the death numbers.

01:44:00.000 That is surprising.

01:44:02.000 So number one all total deaths, though, is Brazil. 0.51

01:44:06.000 So we're number two for all total deaths.

01:44:09.000 But Brazil, I don't believe, has the same population as America.

01:44:13.000 What is Brazil's total population?

01:44:16.000 I want to say 100 million, rather.

01:44:20.000 That's my guess.

01:44:22.000 211. 211?

01:44:24.000 And we have 300 million?

01:44:25.000 Yeah.

01:44:27.000 Hmm.

01:44:28.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:44:29.000 Brazil's dangerous as fuck, though, in some areas, like the favelas. 0.99

01:44:33.000 You ever see City of God? 1.00

01:44:34.000 Yes.

01:44:35.000 Woo! 0.99

01:44:36.000 What a crazy movie that is.

01:44:38.000 In an eerily way, very beautiful at the same time.

01:44:40.000 Yeah.

01:44:41.000 Well, it's a brilliant movie.

01:44:42.000 Yeah.

01:44:43.000 It's a brilliant movie.

01:44:44.000 Very much so.

01:44:45.000 Yeah, Brazil's got a strange situation.

01:44:47.000 Yeah.

01:44:48.000 I mean, I think recently they just, I think the new president just kind of loosened the grip on the gun laws in Brazil.

01:44:55.000 But generally speaking, the gun laws in Brazil are very, very strict.

01:44:59.000 It is interesting that places with the highest gun laws in America are the places with the most amount of gun violence.

01:45:06.000 That's so strange.

01:45:08.000 Well, I think because by and large, the attempted solution for the violence, because those places also have the highest concentrations of inner cities.

01:45:16.000 Right.

01:45:17.000 And so their solution for those things was always gun control.

01:45:22.000 And in response to it, it's always more gun control.

01:45:25.000 And if that doesn't work, add more gun control.

01:45:27.000 If that doesn't work, sprinkle a little bit more gun control.

01:45:29.000 And if that doesn't work, let's put just a little bit more gun control.

01:45:32.000 This time I promise this gun control will work. 1.00

01:45:34.000 And then it keeps happening, gun control.

01:45:36.000 Gun control, gun control, gun control.

01:45:38.000 That's the point that I'm making.

01:45:39.000 The answer was always going to be gun control.

01:45:41.000 So how did this last mass shooting that led to this call for getting rid of these stocks, these...

01:45:50.000 It's a brace.

01:45:52.000 Pistol stabilizing brace, yeah.

01:45:53.000 Why did that...

01:45:55.000 Did that play a factor in that gun violence?

01:45:58.000 No.

01:45:58.000 It wasn't a part of it at all?

01:45:59.000 He had it on the gun.

01:46:01.000 Oh, he did?

01:46:02.000 He did, but that didn't make him any more lethal.

01:46:06.000 It's just a random fact that he had that.

01:46:08.000 Well, no, you can make it seem lethal because they did the same thing with bump stocks. 0.98

01:46:12.000 You know what's fucked up? 0.95

01:46:13.000 I don't even remember what the story was of this latest mass shooting. 0.98

01:46:18.000 But here's the thing about it.

01:46:19.000 Was it because of Colorado?

01:46:21.000 Was it Boulder?

01:46:21.000 What do you mean?

01:46:22.000 The one where Biden started calling for more gun control?

01:46:26.000 Was it Boulder?

01:46:27.000 I think he used it as a catalyst.

01:46:29.000 I think he's already had these prepped.

01:46:31.000 Yeah.

01:46:31.000 Because some of the things he was proposing have nothing to do with the shooting.

01:46:34.000 So from that standpoint, it's like he kind of used – like they don't ever let a tragedy go to waste.

01:46:41.000 Of course.

01:46:41.000 That's just – that's their MO. So from that perspective, it begs the question if – What is this here, Jeremy?

01:46:48.000 Biden said last month, following a mass shooting in Colorado, I don't need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future.

01:46:58.000 He read that.

01:46:59.000 Yeah, but his question, how long has he been in office?

01:47:07.000 Four months?

01:47:08.000 Four months.

01:47:08.000 And how many executive actions or orders has he taken?

01:47:11.000 Did he take initially when he first got into office?

01:47:13.000 I don't know.

01:47:14.000 He did quite a few.

01:47:17.000 None of them were these.

01:47:19.000 What were they?

01:47:20.000 Just a bunch of other executive orders that I didn't really pay attention to, honestly.

01:47:24.000 You just only pay attention to guns?

01:47:25.000 No, I just was aware of them.

01:47:27.000 Do you know what's funny about that?

01:47:29.000 What?

01:47:29.000 I purposely try to avoid paying attention to guns.

01:47:32.000 Really?

01:47:32.000 Because I've been doing it for so long and I do it so much.

01:47:35.000 It's overwhelming.

01:47:36.000 Yeah, I got to step away sometimes because sometimes I think I get too close to it.

01:47:40.000 And so in order to kind of back away and make sure I keep my perspective and focus, I'll step away from it.

01:47:46.000 The problem is, with respect to the gun stuff too, that also means politics.

01:48:07.000 Mm-hmm.

01:48:10.000 But by and large, I try to minimize it just so that I can kind of recharge because it's heavy.

01:48:18.000 It's really heavy.

01:48:19.000 And then with social media, it's a constant bombardment with respect to, everyone's yelling at each other.

01:48:27.000 Everyone's yelling at each other.

01:48:28.000 And if you are someone who tries to make an attempt to be objective, yes, I have certain bias, but I still try to remain objective.

01:48:38.000 That takes a lot of work, especially when you have one side saying one thing, you have the other side saying one thing.

01:48:44.000 So I'll hear a side that I agree with say one thing, and then I'll hear someone else on the other side, and I have to literally grab myself by the neck and say, I know you want to believe this, but this makes sense.

01:48:58.000 And it could be anything down to a particular issue, a specific issue that's happened, or a complete policy.

01:49:05.000 And so that can get a little tiring, because you're constantly playing this balancing act, like, okay, am I being too biased?

01:49:11.000 Can I come back close to the center here?

01:49:13.000 Like, what's going on here?

01:49:14.000 Whereas if I was completely dogmatic in one direction, I would argue it's a little easier.

01:49:21.000 Now, somebody can make the argument, well, then that's what you are with guns.

01:49:26.000 Right?

01:49:26.000 Yeah.

01:49:27.000 And to a degree, yes, only because every time I try to look at it objectively, I come back to the same answer.

01:49:34.000 I don't try to make myself come back to the same answer.

01:49:36.000 It's just the logic that's involved.

01:49:38.000 It's like, you can't tell me, like, for instance, take universal background checks, right?

01:49:42.000 People are like, oh, universal background checks, you should be fine, universal background checks.

01:49:45.000 I'm like, in theory, but in reality, what is a universal background check?

01:49:51.000 It's a law that says I can't have a gun and give it to you.

01:49:55.000 Who's going to stop me from doing that?

01:49:57.000 If they came out with a law right now and said, I can't sell you this gun right now that I have here, if I wanted to sell that to you, and they said it's legal for me to do that, who's going to stop me from doing that?

01:50:06.000 Well, Texas has an interesting perspective on that, right?

01:50:08.000 You just have to write a bill of sale.

01:50:10.000 You don't have to write a bill of sale.

01:50:11.000 You just give it to me, right?

01:50:12.000 As long as I know that you're not a prohibitive possessor, and you're a resident of Texas, I can sell you a gun.

01:50:21.000 Yeah, that's wild.

01:50:22.000 I don't think so.

01:50:23.000 You don't have to go through an FFL or anything.

01:50:25.000 No.

01:50:26.000 Well, no, you don't think so because you're pro-gun.

01:50:29.000 Well, here's the thing.

01:50:31.000 I can give you the reason why I don't think that's a problem.

01:50:33.000 So the reason why, one, I'm not in the business of selling firearms.

01:50:38.000 So this is my private property.

01:50:39.000 This is my personal property.

01:50:39.000 This is something I bought.

01:50:41.000 I can do it as I please.

01:50:42.000 If I want to sell it to you, I can sell it to you.

01:50:45.000 The idea of a universal background check is to regulate that transaction, is to say, well, no, you have to go get a background check to do this.

01:50:54.000 Now, the question then becomes, what's the big deal with that?

01:50:57.000 Well, one of the issues is it doesn't actually do anything.

01:51:00.000 Because if they made the law now and said, did you have to get a background check before I could sell you the gun and I just sold you the gun anyway, how would they know?

01:51:10.000 Yeah, how would they know?

01:51:11.000 Well, they would hope that you would obey the law.

01:51:11.000 They wouldn't know.

01:51:14.000 Okay.

01:51:15.000 So they would hope that they would avoid at least some guns getting in the hands of some bad people.

01:51:21.000 The problem is, one, we don't...

01:51:22.000 There's no track record that the vast majority of criminals are getting their firearms because of legal transactions where they didn't get a background check conducted.

01:51:32.000 However, we do have studies that show that the vast majority of criminals get their guns from the black market where they steal them.

01:51:38.000 Or they get them by way of straw purchases, which are illegal.

01:51:42.000 Right.

01:51:42.000 So, from that perspective...

01:51:44.000 So, you're setting off your own...

01:51:44.000 Yeah.

01:51:45.000 Well, it's yours anyway.

01:51:46.000 Oh, thank you.

01:51:46.000 Speaking of which, now you can keep all your guns in the...

01:51:49.000 I can't keep all my guns.

01:51:50.000 Well, not all of them, but, you know, whenever you travel or you're at home and...

01:51:54.000 Yeah, no, this is dope.

01:51:55.000 And it's your own little...

01:51:57.000 Yeah, so it's a new version.

01:51:59.000 Remember I gave you the one last time.

01:52:01.000 So people wanted a bigger version of the case.

01:52:05.000 It says, hashtag the pew pew life.

01:52:07.000 Pew pew!

01:52:08.000 You know what's funny about that thing?

01:52:09.000 So I made it.

01:52:11.000 I didn't make it, but the company who I collaborated with on it, it's more or less designed for travel, to travel with your firearms.

01:52:21.000 And so when I take it to the airport, I get so many questions about it from people.

01:52:25.000 They're like, wow, what is this?

01:52:27.000 And they're like, the pew-pew?

01:52:29.000 What does that mean?

01:52:30.000 And I'm like, oh, here we go.

01:52:33.000 Well, people don't like you making light, right?

01:52:35.000 You're making light of guns by going the pew-pew light. 0.96

01:52:39.000 It's kind of silly.

01:52:41.000 For people who come across it...

01:52:43.000 Without knowing the genesis of the pew pew life.

01:52:46.000 Right.

01:52:46.000 So what it is is that it's homage to our days when we were kids.

01:52:50.000 Right.

01:52:50.000 Playing, you know, playing guns, playing pew pew.

01:52:52.000 People look like you're making light of pew pew.

01:52:52.000 But that's what I'm saying.

01:52:55.000 Now we're adults.

01:52:56.000 Right.

01:52:56.000 And so now we have real guns to use to protect ourselves.

01:52:59.000 Right.

01:52:59.000 But then also it also doubles as an acronym for the people.

01:53:04.000 Right.

01:53:05.000 Yeah, the PPL. So the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

01:53:09.000 I guess so, but it's spelled wrong.

01:53:12.000 What do you mean?

01:53:12.000 P-E-W? [...

01:53:18.000 I get it.

01:53:19.000 I get it.

01:53:21.000 Okay, I get it.

01:53:23.000 Maybe.

01:53:24.000 It's pew pew.

01:53:25.000 You're talking about guns, man.

01:53:27.000 Over here.

01:53:27.000 For your ears, too.

01:53:28.000 So when you go shooting.

01:53:29.000 Those are my favorite over the ears.

01:53:31.000 Yeah.

01:53:31.000 This is your favorite?

01:53:32.000 They do a really good job.

01:53:33.000 With over the electronic ears, sometimes what you'll run into an issue is when the wind's blowing.

01:53:38.000 It makes it really hard to hear, even if you have the electronics on.

01:53:42.000 Those do a great job of mitigating that. 0.99

01:53:45.000 Why do my fucking Instagram keeps trying to sell me these in-ear buds that protect you with guns? 0.98

01:53:55.000 They're in-ear noise suppression guns or earbuds. 0.99

01:54:01.000 They can't be as good, right?

01:54:03.000 Yeah, they can.

01:54:04.000 Really?

01:54:04.000 The ones that stick in your ear?

01:54:05.000 Yeah, but I use double. 0.93

01:54:07.000 Oh.

01:54:08.000 I double.

01:54:09.000 I double up.

01:54:11.000 Whenever I'm shooting a rifle, I used in-ear and over-the-ears with those.

01:54:16.000 Something big like a...

01:54:18.000 Yeah, or just a rifle in general.

01:54:19.000 The reason why is because when you...

01:54:21.000 Not even necessarily that.

01:54:22.000 Just the AR. Because sometimes when you shoulder a rifle, the recoil can lift.

01:54:28.000 Oh, I see.

01:54:29.000 So you have a backup.

01:54:30.000 So now those, if you look, they have a little indention, which allows you to clear the stock, which will prevent that.

01:54:37.000 But in the event that it happens to happen without me...

01:54:39.000 Because you won't even realize it's happening most of the time.

01:54:41.000 And then you can get ear damage.

01:54:42.000 You could.

01:54:43.000 It's possible.

01:54:44.000 Right.

01:54:44.000 But then also, I have tinnitus.

01:54:47.000 Yeah.

01:54:47.000 Oh, you do?

01:54:48.000 So I go above and beyond to protect my hair with respect to shooting.

01:54:50.000 Did you get tinnitus from shooting?

01:54:52.000 No.

01:54:53.000 I got tinnitus from all my clubbing days.

01:54:55.000 Oh, no.

01:54:56.000 Really?

01:54:57.000 From loud music?

01:54:58.000 Dude, I would come back and my ears would ring for three days straight.

01:55:01.000 Really?

01:55:01.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:55:02.000 And then they'd be like...

01:55:04.000 So are these battery-powered?

01:55:05.000 Yeah, they're battery-powered, yeah.

01:55:06.000 I don't think there's a battery in them yet, though.

01:55:08.000 There should be a battery in that box.

01:55:10.000 But yeah, those are my favorites.

01:55:12.000 And then, of course, I brought you an essential guns or essential hat.

01:55:16.000 If you walk around with this on, people will know that you're one of those.

01:55:20.000 You know, I get a lot of people who message me...

01:55:25.000 So the basis behind my brand is to serve as a kind of conversation starter.

01:55:25.000 It's great.

01:55:31.000 So the never really, besides maybe, this is probably about as extreme as you get.

01:55:35.000 I will not comply.

01:55:36.000 Or, we did just come out with it.

01:55:38.000 Come and take it.

01:55:40.000 But by and large, the vast majority of it is designed to pique curiosity.

01:55:44.000 So like when I tell you I go to the airport with this and they go, what's the pew pew life?

01:55:51.000 It's a good catalyst to kind of have the conversation in a manner that doesn't start off as, oh, you're a pro-gun and I'm anti-gun.

01:55:58.000 You know what I mean?

01:55:59.000 Did you start this Pew Pew Life thing?

01:56:01.000 Is this all your invention?

01:56:02.000 Because I see Pew Pew or Pew Pew Life.

01:56:05.000 Yeah, so what I did was I basically took, I mean, everybody was saying, I didn't do Pew Pew, right?

01:56:08.000 But to create a lifestyle around it and brand it, that's, yeah, that was me.

01:56:14.000 Now, we were talking before about whether or not, during the pandemic, when people started buying guns, if they relaxed any of the censorship that's on your channels or any of that.

01:56:25.000 Did any of that happen?

01:56:26.000 Or was it basically, it's been...

01:56:28.000 Everybody I know that is in a gun space is shadow banned.

01:56:31.000 Shadow banned.

01:56:32.000 Pretty much, yeah.

01:56:32.000 For sure?

01:56:33.000 Yeah, I'm almost positive.

01:56:34.000 But...

01:56:35.000 Now, how does that work?

01:56:36.000 So if someone doesn't follow you, if they try to find you, they can't find you?

01:56:41.000 Jamie, do you follow him?

01:56:43.000 On YouTube?

01:56:44.000 No, on Instagram.

01:56:45.000 I don't know.

01:56:46.000 Let's see if it happens now, because sometimes I run into an issue.

01:56:48.000 If I type my name up on Instagram, I have to type my entire name out before it'll pull up.

01:56:53.000 And then some people say it pulls right up, which would lead me to suspect that I'm shadowbanned.

01:56:59.000 When I tried to find you, I found you easy.

01:57:03.000 It pulled it up right away.

01:57:04.000 And that happens when a lot of people are complaining about being shadow bad.

01:57:08.000 Here's the crazy thing.

01:57:09.000 Yeah, he didn't come up when I typed in his first name. 0.99

01:57:12.000 Yeah, and neither on my own goddamn phone. 0.98

01:57:14.000 Which is very specific. 0.98

01:57:15.000 So mine came up right away.

01:57:17.000 You still can't see mine at all.

01:57:17.000 See, you're mine.

01:57:18.000 So do you think they do it with some...

01:57:20.000 That's what shadow banning is.

01:57:21.000 You have to type the whole thing out for it to come up.

01:57:23.000 For it to come up on Instagram.

01:57:24.000 You have to literally type my entire name out.

01:57:25.000 That's weird because with me, all I got is the C-O-L and it showed up right away.

01:57:30.000 And keep in mind, if I type...

01:57:32.000 No, no.

01:57:33.000 My own page, it won't pull up.

01:57:35.000 That's crazy.

01:57:35.000 Look, I have Coleon right now.

01:57:38.000 Nothing.

01:57:38.000 My car page will pull up.

01:57:40.000 But my gun page that has almost a million followers won't.

01:57:43.000 Oh, okay.

01:57:43.000 You got one of them privacy shields in your phone.

01:57:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:45.000 My bad.

01:57:45.000 Oh, he's being sneaky.

01:57:48.000 Good move.

01:57:49.000 Very smart.

01:57:50.000 There could be something to that, though.

01:57:52.000 But it could be a couple of things.

01:57:54.000 Well, you know what, man?

01:57:56.000 The more you read about stuff and the more you see videos, like a lot of those Project Veritas videos where you see people getting busted when they do these secret videos.

01:58:08.000 Undercover videos.

01:58:10.000 They catch people talking about... 0.95

01:58:11.000 Look, man, you can nod your head all day, but that one on the CNN is pretty goddamn damning.

01:58:16.000 When that guy who's...

01:58:17.000 What was he?

01:58:17.000 A chief technical...

01:58:18.000 I don't know.

01:58:19.000 Whatever it is.

01:58:19.000 But see, the weird thing is I posted that video in my group chat, and I was like, thoughts.

01:58:24.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's not surprising.

01:58:27.000 It's not surprising, but it's amazing to see it so blatant.

01:58:29.000 I thought it was, too.

01:58:30.000 Yeah, I thought it was amazing.

01:58:32.000 But apparently, I was just being...

01:58:36.000 What is news now?

01:58:38.000 Is news propaganda?

01:58:39.000 Or is it just news?

01:58:41.000 Is that surprising, the CNN information?

01:58:43.000 At least this story, this one in particular.

01:58:45.000 He's done other ones that are a little more surprising.

01:58:46.000 It is surprising how blatant that guy is describing it.

01:58:50.000 Describing the way they went about it.

01:58:51.000 If you went to someone from Fox News and took him on a Tinder date and he's trying to Look good in front of a girl and he's trying to say all the stuff they do, wouldn't he?

01:58:58.000 Is that what it was?

01:58:58.000 Was it a Tinder date?

01:58:59.000 That's what I heard it was.

01:59:00.000 There was like hidden cameras on a Tinder date.

01:59:02.000 It tricked him to go on Tinder dates with chicks.

01:59:02.000 Oh, so...

01:59:04.000 LOL. You fucking sap. 1.00

01:59:06.000 That's why I'm like... 1.00

01:59:09.000 Wouldn't someone from Fox News or MSNBC say this similar stuff?

01:59:12.000 Could you imagine?

01:59:13.000 You work for CNN, you're on a date with a girl, and you're trying to impress her by telling her that you literally manipulate the news, and you create propaganda.

01:59:20.000 Well, if she's a girl who's along the lines of that ideology, they'd be all for it. 0.99

01:59:26.000 It depends on the situation, on how he gave this information.

01:59:30.000 I've ruined a lot of interactions with girls by stating my ideologies.

01:59:35.000 Yeah.

01:59:35.000 I'm sure.

01:59:37.000 What?

01:59:37.000 You believe what?

01:59:38.000 You're allowing what?

01:59:39.000 You think it's okay to have what?

01:59:41.000 I enjoy it.

01:59:42.000 How many guns?

01:59:43.000 How many guns?

01:59:45.000 You don't even know how many you have, right?

01:59:47.000 You're one of those guys?

01:59:48.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:59:49.000 That's just what I read happened.

01:59:50.000 I wasn't part of it.

01:59:51.000 That makes sense because he's kind of talking real open about it.

01:59:56.000 In all fairness, my mind goes, okay, back when Obama was in office, If you got somebody from Fox and the same thing happened, would I be that surprised if they said something to the same degree?

02:00:07.000 See, the thing about Fox, though, is Fox is preaching to the choir.

02:00:12.000 There's a lot of fence riders that watch CNN because they thought they were getting unbiased information, and they're not.

02:00:17.000 Which is why I stopped watching CNN. It's changed.

02:00:20.000 It's changed.

02:00:21.000 It used to be just the news, I think.

02:00:23.000 Maybe it's my perception's changed.

02:00:25.000 The funny thing is, I'm like, oh, why is everybody not surprised by this?

02:00:28.000 But then at the same time, I'll say this.

02:00:31.000 They've gotten so blatant with their bias that it's like, it's almost, it's unwatchable.

02:00:35.000 Yeah.

02:00:36.000 So before, I would literally just, I would watch CNN, I would watch Fox, and then I would avoid MSNBC like to play because I felt that they were just...

02:00:44.000 We're good to go.

02:01:02.000 What do I watch to get a more liberal perspective on my information that's not going to be so blatantly biased to the point of almost concocting scenarios and lying.

02:01:13.000 It's also like you see the people that they have who are their spokespeople, the people that are on television.

02:01:19.000 And you watch them talk and you're like, Jesus Christ.

02:01:23.000 You guys are like the weird liberal agents of propaganda.

02:01:26.000 They're not really news reporters.

02:01:29.000 There's not like a Walter Cronkite in the bunch.

02:01:32.000 The former CIA director being like the talking head isn't a great look for CNN. I know.

02:01:38.000 It's crazy, right?

02:01:39.000 Isn't that weird?

02:01:40.000 I mean, look at your homie Biden, who he just tried to...

02:01:44.000 I know.

02:01:44.000 He's not my homie.

02:01:45.000 How dare you.

02:01:46.000 The guy he wants to nominate to be the fucking director of the AFT. Yeah. 1.00

02:01:52.000 Yeah.

02:01:53.000 You know, he's literally...

02:01:54.000 He's literally part of a gun control lobby.

02:01:54.000 He sits...

02:01:58.000 Yeah.

02:01:59.000 Yeah.

02:01:59.000 And he wants him to be the director of the AFT, a.k.a.

02:02:04.000 ATF. Yeah.

02:02:05.000 So...

02:02:06.000 It begs the question.

02:02:08.000 Like, I hate when people tell me, Biden's not anti-gun. 0.99

02:02:10.000 Are you fucking serious? 1.00

02:02:12.000 Well, he's also a knucklehead. 0.99

02:02:14.000 Like, his perspective on guns is so bizarre that you don't need an AR-15.

02:02:18.000 You need a double-barrel shotgun.

02:02:20.000 When someone's coming to your house, you shoot one in the air.

02:02:23.000 Yeah, more people get killed by shotguns than they do with AR-15. 0.99

02:02:27.000 Well, it's also a dumb piece of advice. 0.98

02:02:30.000 Like, just get yourself a double-barrel shotgun. 0.99

02:02:34.000 Yeah, I think that's right.

02:02:35.000 Do they?

02:02:36.000 I believe so.

02:02:37.000 Well, I mean, it's done.

02:02:39.000 Put it like this.

02:02:40.000 It's either close or it's less.

02:02:43.000 But I do know more people get killed by hands and feet.

02:02:45.000 I know more people get stabbed to death.

02:02:46.000 So, I mean, it begs the question.

02:02:48.000 That's crazy that more people get killed by hands and feet.

02:02:51.000 Who's the lethal kung fu? 1.00

02:02:53.000 By almost half.

02:02:55.000 That is nuts.

02:02:56.000 What are the numbers?

02:02:57.000 How many people get killed by hands and feet in the United States?

02:03:01.000 Take a guess, Jamie, before you say it.

02:03:03.000 What do you think?

02:03:03.000 Take a guess.

02:03:04.000 How many people get killed by hands and feet?

02:03:06.000 Like 4,000 by hands and 10,000 by feet.

02:03:09.000 No, it's lower than that.

02:03:11.000 More by feet?

02:03:11.000 No.

02:03:12.000 I'm just kidding.

02:03:13.000 Way more by hands.

02:03:14.000 It's hard to kill somebody with your feet.

02:03:15.000 I think it's about 1,000. 0.61

02:03:16.000 1,000?

02:03:17.000 Yeah.

02:03:18.000 I think either stab, if I remember correctly, it might be 1,000 some odd for stabbing and then like, I can't remember.

02:03:18.000 By hands and feet?

02:03:29.000 What was the number?

02:03:30.000 I just know it was more.

02:03:32.000 More than stabbing.

02:03:33.000 This is just the U.S., right?

02:03:34.000 Not world, correct?

02:03:35.000 Okay, I'm going to say 1,300 people get beaten to death per year.

02:03:40.000 That's my guess.

02:03:41.000 I'm just going out.

02:03:42.000 I have no information.

02:03:43.000 I'm just taking a wild one here.

02:03:45.000 I'm trying to find it.

02:03:46.000 What do you think, Jamie?

02:03:46.000 What did you guess, though?

02:03:48.000 It's tough.

02:03:49.000 I'm not trying to think.

02:03:50.000 Like 5,000.

02:03:51.000 Nah.

02:03:52.000 Just throw a number out.

02:03:52.000 Nah, not even close.

02:03:54.000 Only it's that high.

02:03:55.000 Yeah, it's a couple of days.

02:03:57.000 Well, see, I feel like the big problem is people bouncing their heads off the ground.

02:04:03.000 That's when people die.

02:04:05.000 That's a lot of when people get knocked out and they fall and they hit their head and die.

02:04:10.000 Yeah, I can imagine that.

02:04:11.000 Yeah, that's the big one.

02:04:12.000 And they would count that as hands and feet.

02:04:15.000 Now more people die from falling down stairs.

02:04:17.000 Oh yeah, for sure.

02:04:20.000 I'm sure that's the case.

02:04:21.000 I did a video about that regarding Joe Biden.

02:04:24.000 You know, when he fell down the stairs.

02:04:24.000 Really?

02:04:26.000 Oh my God, he fell up the stairs.

02:04:28.000 Three times.

02:04:30.000 What's weird is this...

02:04:35.000 Reluctance to admit that he's cognitively declining and that it's weird to have someone who's that old and frail and fragile mentally and cognitively as a president of the United States.

02:04:48.000 Why would that be surprising to you?

02:04:50.000 Isn't somebody like that, wouldn't you be able to control somebody more like that?

02:04:53.000 Yeah, but that's not what's surprising.

02:04:55.000 What's surprising is the reluctance that people have who are left-wing people to admit that it's true.

02:05:00.000 It's hatred of the past president.

02:05:00.000 It's not reluctance.

02:05:03.000 Maybe it's a little bit of that, but it's also a delusional perspective.

02:05:09.000 There's a delusional aspect to the way they communicate about it. 0.90

02:05:12.000 I think if there was somebody else and not Trump, the lack of hatred would have allowed them to then acknowledge the mental deficiencies of Biden. 0.95

02:05:26.000 Maybe.

02:05:26.000 Well, the control thing makes sense that they went with Biden versus someone like Tulsi Gabbard, who they couldn't control, who is also left-wing, liberal, but also a veteran, also a congresswoman.

02:05:39.000 I finally found a 2019 weapons used in murderers in the United States.

02:05:47.000 Put it up on the board.

02:05:49.000 660, but it says other weapons.

02:05:51.000 Personal weapons.

02:05:52.000 Hands, fists, and feet.

02:05:54.000 Hands, fists, and feet.

02:05:55.000 I like how they call it personal weapons.

02:05:59.000 Because that's kneeing as well. 0.80

02:06:00.000 You can knee someone to death.

02:06:02.000 600 people every year get killed by hands, feet, and fists.

02:06:08.000 I like how they could...

02:06:08.000 Hands.

02:06:09.000 Who's getting bitch slapped to death? 1.00

02:06:12.000 Is it hands? 0.99

02:06:14.000 I was wrong about the shotguns.

02:06:16.000 I thought I figured as much, but it was close.

02:06:18.000 So if you look at the rifles, we're at 364. Actually, I could be right, and here's why.

02:06:25.000 That includes every type of rifle, not just AR-15s.

02:06:28.000 Wait a minute, though.

02:06:28.000 Hold on a second.

02:06:29.000 Narcotics only kill 93 people a year?

02:06:32.000 Is that like murder?

02:06:34.000 Yeah, there's murders.

02:06:36.000 Only 92 people get asphyxiated?

02:06:40.000 Blunt objects.

02:06:41.000 Hammers killed 397 people.

02:06:43.000 It probably also goes into only half the murders every year are solved, so maybe double this.

02:06:49.000 I don't know.

02:06:50.000 Wow.

02:06:51.000 6,000 by handguns.

02:06:53.000 That's a lot.

02:06:53.000 And it also says firearms.

02:06:55.000 They don't know which kind of firearm here, so these could go up.

02:06:59.000 Yeah, who knows, right?

02:07:00.000 That's a lot that are not stated, 3,281.

02:07:03.000 But that's a crazy number of people getting killed just by people beating them to death.

02:07:08.000 600 every year.

02:07:10.000 It's low.

02:07:11.000 Other weapons, like sticks?

02:07:14.000 Mm, sticks.

02:07:16.000 Golf clubs?

02:07:16.000 Golf clubs, yeah.

02:07:20.000 Strangulation, 64. Oh, I was going to put that in the hands and feet.

02:07:24.000 That's different.

02:07:24.000 That's what I was going to say about hands.

02:07:26.000 Strangulation.

02:07:27.000 A couple more.

02:07:28.000 I wonder if it's like strangulation with solid technique.

02:07:30.000 Other guns.

02:07:31.000 As long as they know what they're doing.

02:07:34.000 Drowning! 0.98

02:07:35.000 Wait a minute, go back down to drowning. 1.00

02:07:36.000 70 years, that's a dark way to kill somebody.

02:07:38.000 Is there another gun besides a firearm?

02:07:40.000 Other guns?

02:07:41.000 That is freaking weird.

02:07:41.000 Moskets?

02:07:42.000 Yeah, what is other guns?

02:07:44.000 Crossbow? 0.60

02:07:45.000 Is that another gun?

02:07:46.000 Too many people watch Walking Dead?

02:07:47.000 Spear gun?

02:07:48.000 It's not a firearm, correct?

02:07:49.000 I think a firearm has to have fire involved.

02:07:49.000 No.

02:07:52.000 There's even other guns. 0.99

02:07:54.000 I always say a crossbow is just a shitty gun. 0.99

02:07:55.000 Slayer gun? 0.99

02:07:56.000 People say, oh, I'm into archery.

02:07:58.000 That was in the movie.

02:07:58.000 I'm a bowman.

02:08:00.000 That got me angry when I was watching Walking Dead.

02:08:02.000 Oh, you're a bowman. 1.00

02:08:04.000 Bitch, you ain't a bowman. 1.00

02:08:05.000 That used to piss me off. 1.00

02:08:06.000 That's a shitty gun. 1.00

02:08:07.000 You're running around the zombie apocalypse with a fucking bow. 1.00

02:08:10.000 Yeah, not only that. 1.00

02:08:11.000 Crossbow is hard to reload.

02:08:14.000 When you reload a crossbow, you've got to put it on the ground.

02:08:17.000 You put your feet on it.

02:08:18.000 There's a thing at the bottom of a crossbow, especially a high-powered crossbow. 0.99

02:08:22.000 You put your feet in this thing, and then you pull on this motherfucker because it's like 100 pounds of pressure. 0.98

02:08:27.000 Then you lock it in place. 0.99

02:08:29.000 Then you put the ball.

02:08:29.000 It takes forever.

02:08:30.000 It takes so long.

02:08:32.000 Zombies are coming at you.

02:08:33.000 That's what I was saying.

02:08:34.000 I did a whole video on it.

02:08:34.000 Not only that, how come it just goes through your head and it stops?

02:08:39.000 Like, why are you getting pass-throughs?

02:08:41.000 These people's heads are like melons. 0.98

02:08:43.000 They're all rotten. 1.00

02:08:44.000 This is true.

02:08:45.000 160-pound draw on his bow.

02:08:47.000 Whose bow?

02:08:48.000 The bow he's got in the show.

02:08:50.000 Really?

02:08:50.000 He found a sweet new striker crossbow in season three.

02:08:53.000 It's got 380 FPS and 160-pound draw.

02:08:56.000 Let me see.

02:08:57.000 Let me see what that looks like.

02:08:58.000 Well, that's not a great picture of it.

02:09:00.000 Oh, you got a new one? 0.97

02:09:01.000 Meanwhile, who's fletching his fucking arrows and why does he have field tips on? 0.99

02:09:05.000 This is what drives me crazy. 0.99

02:09:07.000 He's got field tips. 1.00

02:09:08.000 He doesn't even have a fucking broadhead on that piece of shit. 1.00

02:09:11.000 This is nonsense. 1.00

02:09:14.000 One more reason why I got rid of that show. 1.00

02:09:17.000 Fuck off! 1.00

02:09:18.000 Yeah, I haven't watched that show. 1.00

02:09:19.000 That show's murder porn. 0.99

02:09:21.000 You're just watching people beat each other to death with baseball bats. 0.98

02:09:23.000 Like, where are those zombies?

02:09:25.000 I have a Negan bat.

02:09:26.000 You do? 1.00

02:09:27.000 With the barbed wire and shit? 1.00

02:09:29.000 Why? 0.99

02:09:30.000 It's cool.

02:09:33.000 How many do you have?

02:09:34.000 Do you know how many of those you have, at least?

02:09:35.000 One.

02:09:35.000 Somebody made a custom one for me with my logo on it.

02:09:37.000 Okay.

02:09:38.000 It was pretty cool.

02:09:39.000 I mean, I was a Walking Dead fan, so, you know.

02:09:41.000 I was a Walking Dead fan for season one, and then season two was pretty good, too.

02:09:44.000 But somewhere along the line, it just became murder porn.

02:09:48.000 When Negan came along... 0.74

02:09:49.000 Yes, it did get...

02:09:50.000 Well, I mean, I think they had to keep upping the ante.

02:09:53.000 Because, I mean, they had so many seasons.

02:09:54.000 This thing would just put a hole in you like a pencil.

02:09:56.000 It wouldn't even kill you. 1.00

02:09:57.000 This is so stupid. 1.00

02:09:58.000 Well, I think that's why it's specific for zombies. 1.00

02:10:00.000 Yeah, you just gotta shoot them in the head. 1.00

02:10:01.000 But you don't. 1.00

02:10:03.000 Why? 0.99

02:10:04.000 This rule sucks. 0.99

02:10:04.000 That's the rule. 0.99

02:10:06.000 Silver bullets for werewolves and fucking garlic and crosses for vampires. 1.00

02:10:11.000 I know, but he points it at people, too. 1.00

02:10:13.000 If you pointed that thing at me, I'd let you shoot me in the hand and I'd fucking kill you. 1.00

02:10:17.000 It'd take you so long to reload that and I'd kill you with my other hand. 1.00

02:10:21.000 Fuck you with that stupid bow. 1.00

02:10:23.000 Oh, man. 1.00

02:10:25.000 I hate it. 1.00

02:10:26.000 It's so dumb. 1.00

02:10:27.000 I hate it. 1.00

02:10:28.000 Daryl's crossbow is a secret name. 1.00

02:10:30.000 It's called piece of shit. 1.00

02:10:33.000 Your fucking field tips. 1.00

02:10:34.000 Why don't you have broadheads? 1.00

02:10:36.000 Every time I would see him with a crossbow, I would just yell, we don't believe you.

02:10:43.000 But I'm telling you, those are a nightmare to reload. 1.00

02:10:46.000 You have to be strong as fuck, too. 0.99

02:10:47.000 I did a whole video on crossbows. 1.00

02:10:49.000 Oh, did you really? 1.00

02:10:49.000 And why it's such a stupid fucking thing to have during a zombie apocalypse. 1.00

02:10:52.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:10:53.000 What do you think is a good thing to have besides a gun?

02:10:55.000 Besides a gun? 1.00

02:10:56.000 The lady with the samurai sword, that's the shit. 1.00

02:10:58.000 Yes. 1.00

02:10:59.000 Something edge weapon. 1.00

02:11:00.000 You just gotta cut their heads off. 1.00

02:11:01.000 I need something to give me more leverage, so I'm thinking like a machete. 0.99

02:11:05.000 Yeah, but you know what?

02:11:06.000 Something I can hack?

02:11:06.000 No, no.

02:11:07.000 You want a samurai sword.

02:11:08.000 She's right.

02:11:09.000 Because first of all, samurai sword, you can two-hand it.

02:11:11.000 That's what you want.

02:11:12.000 You want something you can two-hand because you could use technique and it won't wear you out as much. 0.99

02:11:17.000 And two, you want something that's going to really slice through shit. 0.99

02:11:17.000 Okay. 0.99

02:11:21.000 A machete. 0.95

02:11:22.000 You're not going to get off people's heads with a machete. 1.00

02:11:24.000 Yeah, but are you going to be able to keep the edge on a fucking samurai sword? 1.00

02:11:26.000 Yes! 1.00

02:11:27.000 Yeah.

02:11:27.000 Yeah, the steel is insane.

02:11:27.000 Yeah?

02:11:28.000 Okay.

02:11:29.000 I mean, it's like such a well-crafted steel.

02:11:32.000 Because I'm thinking- Sorry, Hanzo, if you got one of those, you're set.

02:11:36.000 Or I'd go an axe.

02:11:38.000 An axe?

02:11:39.000 No. 0.98

02:11:40.000 I've been on some Viking shit lately, so you gotta- That's a dope show. 0.98

02:11:43.000 That's a dope show. 1.00

02:11:44.000 My wife stopped watching with me because it got too violent.

02:11:46.000 She's like, I can't do this anymore.

02:11:47.000 It was violent from the moment the show started.

02:11:48.000 I know, but after a while, it wears on you.

02:11:50.000 You know?

02:11:51.000 It does.

02:11:51.000 I enjoyed that show.

02:11:52.000 Yeah, that's a good show.

02:11:52.000 I loved it, man.

02:11:54.000 I absolutely loved it.

02:11:54.000 Absolutely.

02:11:55.000 Yeah, it's a complicated show, too. 1.00

02:11:57.000 There's a lot of shit going on. 0.99

02:11:58.000 No, and I think it was beautifully handled. 1.00

02:12:00.000 I really do.

02:12:01.000 And probably kind of similar to what it was really like back then.

02:12:06.000 Yeah, I can imagine. 0.93

02:12:07.000 They're rough-ass people. 1.00

02:12:08.000 I don't understand everybody's fascination with fucking Athelstan. 1.00

02:12:11.000 I don't get it. 0.99

02:12:12.000 Everyone loves him, and I'm like, dude, pick a religion.

02:12:16.000 Pick one.

02:12:17.000 I've never seen someone bounce back and forth like a yo-yo.

02:12:19.000 Like, you're either going to believe in pagan gods or you're going to believe in Jesus.

02:12:23.000 Pick one.

02:12:24.000 And he just bounces back and forth and we're supposed to develop some sense of what for him.

02:12:24.000 Right.

02:12:30.000 And everybody loves him.

02:12:30.000 That didn't bother me.

02:12:31.000 I always felt like that's just a plot tool.

02:12:33.000 No, it was.

02:12:34.000 I'm being a little- I get it.

02:12:36.000 But I still don't understand why everybody loved him so much.

02:12:36.000 Yeah.

02:12:39.000 What was it?

02:12:39.000 What is he like, a pet dog?

02:12:41.000 Because what did he really do?

02:12:43.000 He didn't do anything. 1.00

02:12:44.000 Except fuck over his own people and then fuck over the Vikings and then fuck over his own people again. 1.00

02:12:50.000 Spoiler alert. 1.00

02:12:54.000 I just, I'm fascinated by, I mean, I would love to go back in time and see what it must have been like to live back then.

02:13:02.000 When, you know, people really did, they were pretty lawless.

02:13:06.000 And the people that did have law, they were ruthless dictators.

02:13:10.000 And they controlled their people in a horrible way.

02:13:13.000 Sounds familiar.

02:13:14.000 Yeah.

02:13:17.000 That's the other thing, right?

02:13:19.000 History repeats itself over and over again.

02:13:21.000 It repeats itself in patterns.

02:13:23.000 I think a lot of people think we've progressed so far that we can't ever find ourselves back in a situation like that.

02:13:31.000 And I think that's completely wrong.

02:13:35.000 It is.

02:13:36.000 Like you said, history is circular. 0.99

02:13:39.000 Like, you can and you will, you can progress yourself into fucking tyranny. 0.97

02:13:43.000 Yeah, but people don't want to believe that, though, right? 0.96

02:13:46.000 Like, the thing about things like Nazi Germany, for example, is that it was less than 100 years ago.

02:13:52.000 It's so hard to imagine.

02:13:54.000 And we would like to say, well, we are so far past a leader like Stalin or Mao or Hitler, but...

02:14:03.000 No, we're still people.

02:14:04.000 And today, on Earth, in 2021, you still have Kim Jong-un running North Korea. 1.00

02:14:11.000 And he's a ruthless fucking dictator. 0.99

02:14:13.000 Here's the funny thing about that. 1.00

02:14:15.000 They'll look at that and make a distinction in the fact that, well, no, we're America.

02:14:19.000 We have things like our Constitution, so forth and so on. 0.98

02:14:21.000 Yet, when we talk about protecting the very elements of the fucking Constitution, they say it's outdated. 0.98

02:14:27.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.97

02:14:28.000 Like, how do you rationally keep those two thoughts in your head at the same time?

02:14:32.000 And it's always the first two amendments, you know?

02:14:34.000 It's one and two.

02:14:34.000 Yeah.

02:14:35.000 Because they're the most powerful.

02:14:37.000 Yeah.

02:14:37.000 And people understand that.

02:14:39.000 And so they'll do everything in their power to undermine it and usurp it.

02:14:42.000 It's also those are the ones that come up the most and the ones that are the most discussed and debated.

02:14:48.000 You know, when you get down to, like, women's rights to vote, that doesn't get debated. 0.99

02:14:52.000 But all the amendments that, you know, First Amendment and Second Amendment, those are the ones that are always in the news.

02:14:58.000 But, I mean, I think there's inherently going to be people who...

02:15:02.000 I think there are a lot of people who want to put their safety in the hands of someone else.

02:15:06.000 Yeah, for sure.

02:15:07.000 They do.

02:15:07.000 For sure.

02:15:08.000 And then I think there are a lot of people who are like, nah, I got it.

02:15:11.000 And then I think there are a lot of people who just look at it from a realistic perspective.

02:15:14.000 Yeah, sure, it'd be nice to have somebody who could actually protect me all the time.

02:15:18.000 But I understand that sometimes in reality that's not the case.

02:15:20.000 Therefore, I'm going to get what I need to get in order to protect myself in the moments that they can't.

02:15:24.000 Well, if you watch the situation like what happened in Minnesota with that kid where the cop thought she had a taser in her hand, it turns out she had a pistol and shot him.

02:15:34.000 I'm not putting my safety in that lady's hands. 0.99

02:15:38.000 There's not a fucking chance in hell. 0.99

02:15:38.000 No, I wouldn't either. 0.99

02:15:40.000 And that's the problem with a lot of police departments or a lot of police officers.

02:15:44.000 You are not getting, again, I hate to use the example, but it's a great example.

02:15:49.000 You're not getting Navy SEALs.

02:15:50.000 You're getting people that are willing to take this job, and they probably don't know how to handle pressure, and they're not getting paid a lot of money, and they're putting themselves in extreme danger, and they're terrified, and they panic.

02:16:01.000 I said that in my group chat.

02:16:03.000 My group chat is consistent of left, right.

02:16:06.000 It's pretty evenly spread. 1.00

02:16:08.000 I was just like, you'll be surprised of the dumb shit you'll do when put under pressure. 1.00

02:16:13.000 Oh yeah, panic. 1.00

02:16:14.000 You'll be completely surprised.

02:16:17.000 Now, it doesn't justify it considering this is your job.

02:16:22.000 Right?

02:16:22.000 Doesn't make it acceptable.

02:16:24.000 No.

02:16:24.000 But, I can, because there were some people who were saying, I can't see how anybody can make that mistake.

02:16:29.000 I can.

02:16:30.000 I can. 0.99

02:16:31.000 I've taken courses where I was put under artificial pressure and I've made dumb decisions. 0.87

02:16:35.000 Meaning like tactical courses?

02:16:37.000 And so I can only imagine in a situation like that.

02:16:37.000 Yeah.

02:16:41.000 Dude, people make terrible decisions playing pool for money, right?

02:16:46.000 I used to play in a lot of tournaments and I used to do a little bit of gambling, nothing serious, but I've seen a lot of people gamble that were good pool players and You know, a couple hundred bucks, and you can't make a ball.

02:16:59.000 You're missing.

02:16:59.000 Easy shots.

02:17:01.000 It's just because of pressure.

02:17:02.000 Now imagine there's a kid, and he's got warrants, and you're telling him to stop, and he's not stopping, and you think you've got a taser in your hand. 0.99

02:17:10.000 You've got a gun, and you see the video, and she's like, I fucking shot him! 0.92

02:17:16.000 And the thing about it, what a lot of people don't realize, too, is I wouldn't be surprised if that was the first time she ever drew her gun. 0.99

02:17:22.000 That's a good point.

02:17:23.000 I know people don't realize a lot of cops go their entire career and never pull their gun.

02:17:27.000 And they don't have a lot of practice either.

02:17:29.000 It's not like they have to go to the range and prove proficiency over and over again.

02:17:34.000 I don't know who put this on their Instagram.

02:17:36.000 It might have been Snoop, but it was a real good point.

02:17:39.000 It might have been D.L. Hughley.

02:17:42.000 But it was a real good point.

02:17:43.000 It was like, people are saying that we need to look at this and cut her some slack because she was acting under pressure.

02:17:54.000 But yet they want citizens to remain calm when they're being pulled over by a cop with a gun in their face.

02:18:00.000 It's a very good point. 0.97

02:18:02.000 I think that's a ridiculous notion. 0.76

02:18:04.000 Yeah. 0.97

02:18:05.000 No, I think she should be held to a higher standard.

02:18:08.000 If you ask me.

02:18:09.000 Because that's something that you volunteered yourself to be in this position.

02:18:13.000 I think people just think they can do it.

02:18:16.000 Someone tells you they can do it.

02:18:17.000 Do you want to be a cop?

02:18:18.000 Okay.

02:18:18.000 But that speaks to maybe we need to really reevaluate the level of training that we're providing.

02:18:24.000 And even then...

02:18:25.000 Even then, you can train all day long. 1.00

02:18:28.000 Until the real shit happens. 1.00

02:18:29.000 When it happens, it happens. 1.00

02:18:30.000 You don't know what you're going to do.

02:18:32.000 In the gun community, they say when the pressure's put on, you're going to resort to the lowest level of your training.

02:18:38.000 That's what they say.

02:18:39.000 Same thing with fighting.

02:18:40.000 It's the same exact thing.

02:18:41.000 It has to be instinctive.

02:18:42.000 You can't think in the middle of a crazy battle.

02:18:45.000 You can't.

02:18:46.000 It really does have to be instinctive.

02:18:48.000 The idea of training, especially with shooting, is to make as much of what you do Instinctive, but I don't even have to think about it.

02:18:56.000 So it almost leaves room for you to process other information.

02:18:59.000 So you're not thinking about fine motor skills stuff.

02:19:02.000 Because the whole notion of her, the weight of the gun versus the weight of the, under an adrenaline dump. 0.99

02:19:10.000 You don't know what the fuck's going on. 0.97

02:19:11.000 Weight is weight. 0.99

02:19:12.000 Weight is weight.

02:19:13.000 Now, what that means in the grand scheme of things, I don't know.

02:19:16.000 That's why we were talking earlier when I was saying I like a heavy rifle. 0.98

02:19:20.000 If I was hunting, I like a heavy rifle because under adrenaline, it feels light as fuck and everything is crazy. 0.96

02:19:26.000 It's the same thing with bows. 0.65

02:19:27.000 A lot of people with bows, they prefer to weigh their bow down.

02:19:30.000 They have like a heavy back bar, heavy stabilizing bar.

02:19:33.000 They like a heavy aluminum riser because when you're nervous, that bow feels like it weighs nothing.

02:19:40.000 Adrenaline is crazy, man.

02:19:42.000 There's no regulating how much of it.

02:19:45.000 It's just, here you go!

02:19:47.000 And then you're drowning in it.

02:19:48.000 Your hands are shaking.

02:19:49.000 Have you ever seen someone that has been in a street fight and then afterwards their whole body is shaking and convulsing?

02:19:54.000 So I, and there's a video of it, and I did a, what they do, a sim training.

02:20:01.000 Where you use fake gun rounds.

02:20:03.000 But they hurt like hell.

02:20:06.000 Like rubber bullets?

02:20:08.000 Essentially you can call them rubber bullets to a degree.

02:20:11.000 But you shoot them out of what looks like a real gun.

02:20:13.000 They're actually real guns. 0.94

02:20:14.000 They're just modified to shoot these rounds.

02:20:16.000 And so they put me through a series of scenarios that I had to deal with.

02:20:21.000 So like I'm in bed laying down and there's a gun on here.

02:20:24.000 And then the guys break into my room and I have to deal with the threat.

02:20:27.000 And then a bunch of different scenarios like that.

02:20:29.000 And so Maybe this speaks to me, but the same thing happened then when it happened when I went on the hunt.

02:20:39.000 I was super calm.

02:20:41.000 Like when it happened, it was just like boom, boom, boom, bang.

02:20:44.000 Soon as I was done, the adrenal dump.

02:20:47.000 And I was just like this.

02:20:49.000 Shaken.

02:20:50.000 Yeah.

02:20:51.000 Because it's largely too because there was a so basically what happened is they escalated it.

02:20:56.000 They kind of ramped it up each time until it was full bore five guys kicking in the door coming into my room and tagging me.

02:21:03.000 These things hurt.

02:21:04.000 Oh Jesus.

02:21:05.000 They hurt.

02:21:06.000 So literally I was in a corner balled up in a ball like this while they were shooting me.

02:21:09.000 Did you get welts all over your body afterwards?

02:21:11.000 Yeah.

02:21:12.000 Yeah, and so that adrenaline dump is real.

02:21:16.000 It's real.

02:21:17.000 It's truly real.

02:21:19.000 Yeah, adrenaline is a strange thing.

02:21:21.000 And most people don't experience it in terms of a life and death situation, but once or maybe twice in their life, if ever.

02:21:29.000 And I think there's something to be said too, because we talked about this in the group chat, with respect to even the guy in the car who tried to lead, Dante.

02:21:39.000 I believe Dante, right?

02:21:40.000 The young man that got killed?

02:21:42.000 I think that was his name.

02:21:42.000 Yeah.

02:21:43.000 Is that his name?

02:21:44.000 I think so.

02:21:45.000 Yeah, so there's something to be said about the adrenaline dump there, too.

02:21:49.000 Oh, for sure.

02:21:50.000 You know what I'm saying?

02:21:50.000 He thinks he's going to jail.

02:21:50.000 100%.

02:21:53.000 He had a warrant for something ridiculous, too. 0.83

02:21:56.000 He had a warrant for attempted aggravated robbery. 0.73

02:21:58.000 Is that what it was?

02:21:58.000 Oh, I thought it was something.

02:22:00.000 There was a number of things flying around about what it was.

02:22:03.000 I think some people were saying it was...

02:22:05.000 I forgot what it was.

02:22:06.000 Some people were saying it was weed.

02:22:08.000 No, it wasn't weed.

02:22:09.000 That's what he told his mom.

02:22:10.000 But that's not what it was.

02:22:12.000 It was for aggravated robbery.

02:22:13.000 That's the problem with one of these stories.

02:22:15.000 The word gets out in so many different versions of the truth.

02:22:19.000 It's hard to...

02:22:20.000 I mean, there's something to be said about the irrelevance of it.

02:22:26.000 Because I take these situations and I kind of break them down to the moment.

02:22:31.000 And I look at it and I say, in this moment, what happens here?

02:22:34.000 And I think with the larger discourse revolving around this particular shooting, I think people forget two things can be true at once.

02:22:41.000 To me, it's insane that people who become police officers aren't very highly trained, they aren't tested on a regular basis, and they aren't paid very well, and you don't select the best of the best.

02:22:58.000 We wouldn't have enough cops.

02:22:59.000 Well, we would have more cops if we paid more money, and then it would probably be more effective.

02:23:04.000 So where's that money going?

02:23:06.000 I don't know.

02:23:06.000 Where is it going?

02:23:07.000 Because I can tell you what they're going to say now.

02:23:08.000 Well, then raise the taxes! 0.94

02:23:10.000 Yeah.

02:23:10.000 You mean you don't have enough money with the money you're already taking from me?

02:23:15.000 It's all so crazy.

02:23:16.000 Yeah.

02:23:17.000 It's also crazy.

02:23:18.000 And then, you know, when you look at what California's doing, California just allows people to steal things now.

02:23:22.000 Yeah, I know.

02:23:23.000 You can get a steal up to $900. 0.99

02:23:25.000 So people are just stealing $800 worth of shit all day long. 0.99

02:23:29.000 And you don't even get arrested. 1.00

02:23:31.000 It's nuts.

02:23:32.000 It's insane.

02:23:33.000 It's so crazy.

02:23:34.000 Dude, someone sent me a video.

02:23:36.000 You want to see the most bizarre video I've ever seen of Venice Beach?

02:23:39.000 I'm going to send it to you.

02:23:40.000 I probably saw it.

02:23:41.000 The cut thing together, like the fighting on the boardwalk.

02:23:44.000 Do you have that?

02:23:44.000 The Street People Los Angeles page, I think, had it.

02:23:46.000 Yeah.

02:23:47.000 Yeah, you need to see it.

02:23:49.000 It's just a bunch of crazy people over and over again, right?

02:23:51.000 I know, but it's the number of people that are out there with tents now that's so nuts.

02:23:57.000 It keeps escalating.

02:23:59.000 It keeps getting higher and higher and higher.

02:24:00.000 I mean, what do they expect to happen?

02:24:01.000 I mean, I did several documentaries in Seattle and in San Francisco.

02:24:06.000 I was freaking blown away, dude.

02:24:09.000 This fight video?

02:24:09.000 Yeah, that's the one.

02:24:10.000 That's the one.

02:24:11.000 Go full screen on this because it's so crazy.

02:24:14.000 Go full screen and back it up to the beginning.

02:24:16.000 Are you sure that's not Austin Cesar Chavez? 0.99

02:24:20.000 That ain't shit. 0.99

02:24:21.000 Look at this. 0.99

02:24:22.000 The numbers. 0.99

02:24:23.000 These guys are just crazy homeless people duking it out and hitting each other and stuff. 0.98

02:24:27.000 And look at that poor guy jogging. 0.56

02:24:28.000 But at nighttime, you've got these Mad Max style shanty towns and people are getting in street fights and But there's so many tents, man, on the beach, right there, where people used to go and used to be tourists, and now it's just crazy homeless people,

02:24:45.000 and people doing drugs, and people fighting in the streets.

02:24:49.000 Yeah, but you, I mean, the policies in these places...

02:24:52.000 Did that guy just shoot that guy?

02:24:53.000 No, it was like mace or something.

02:24:55.000 Or bear spray, or I don't know, who knows.

02:24:58.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.

02:25:01.000 Oh yeah, it is bear spray.

02:25:03.000 Yeah, he bear sprayed him.

02:25:05.000 Oh, he just sprayed him again. 1.00

02:25:07.000 That guy's a dick. 1.00

02:25:09.000 Look at these homeless people beating each other up and shit. 1.00

02:25:11.000 But I mean, this is... 0.99

02:25:12.000 And look at that guy walking by, just all casual with his Starbucks. 1.00

02:25:15.000 Oh my god, you fuck. 1.00

02:25:18.000 Like, where's the humanity? 1.00

02:25:20.000 You could just watch somebody beat the shit out of somebody else while you were strolling by and the dogs getting involved. 0.80

02:25:25.000 Would you have jumped into that? 0.98

02:25:26.000 Look, the dog's biting people. 1.00

02:25:27.000 I wouldn't.

02:25:28.000 I wouldn't either. 1.00

02:25:31.000 Yeah, I'm talking shit. 0.99

02:25:31.000 I wouldn't have done anything. 0.99

02:25:33.000 You're right.

02:25:34.000 Look at this lady dragging this other person. 1.00

02:25:37.000 Dragged, pulled his pants off.

02:25:39.000 This is madness.

02:25:40.000 But this is what Venice Beach has become.

02:25:43.000 Venice Beach has become this horrific place that I don't see a way out of this.

02:25:48.000 I don't understand how they're going to turn that around.

02:25:51.000 And the only way you stop that in the beginning is to have law and order.

02:25:56.000 You have to have a healthy respect for law and order.

02:25:57.000 What are they trying to do away with that though?

02:26:00.000 Los Angeles is trying to do away with it more than any place I've ever seen.

02:26:03.000 That crazy new district attorney that they hired that wants to get rid of the gang unit? 0.98

02:26:07.000 I don't want to be the guy who puts on the tinfoil hat.

02:26:10.000 But you hear about all these people that are George Soros funded, and you're like, what is that guy up to?

02:26:15.000 That's a good question.

02:26:17.000 I've said this before.

02:26:19.000 I've said this on national television.

02:26:22.000 I think in a lot of ways they leveraged the violence to push the gun control agenda and to push further dependence on the government.

02:26:30.000 You think they let this happen?

02:26:31.000 They want this to happen?

02:26:33.000 I don't think they let it happen.

02:26:33.000 I know they do.

02:26:34.000 So you think that there's a solution that they should have used to try to end the homelessness situation?

02:26:41.000 I think when you purposely put policies in place that...

02:26:44.000 Enable it, then I think there's something to be said.

02:26:47.000 By letting people camp.

02:26:48.000 Yeah, because I mean, think about it.

02:26:49.000 This stuff wasn't happening before, so why is it happening?

02:26:51.000 Unless you're enabling a certain behavior.

02:26:53.000 Well, one thing is because the economy collapsed during COVID, and a massive amount of people were out of work.

02:26:58.000 No, it was like that.

02:26:59.000 I was doing documentaries in places like San Francisco. 0.99

02:27:01.000 This shit was happening then, too. 0.99

02:27:02.000 San Francisco was. 1.00

02:27:03.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:27:04.000 San Francisco was pretty bad, but it's way worse now.

02:27:07.000 It is worse now, but I will say there's something to be said about...

02:27:11.000 I mean, it just...

02:27:14.000 Do you bring it all to gun control?

02:27:16.000 Is that your thing?

02:27:17.000 No, no, no.

02:27:17.000 I wasn't going to do...

02:27:18.000 I use gun control as an analogy for a lot of things because I've studied it so much.

02:27:23.000 Right.

02:27:23.000 So my mindset goes...

02:27:26.000 And so a lot of it just runs parallel to each other as well.

02:27:29.000 Because if you think about it, Although those people essentially are dependent on the government, if we really want to think about it, because they're allowing it to happen, and if anything, they have to depend on the government to allow them to continue to do those things.

02:27:44.000 Those people still vote.

02:27:46.000 Right.

02:27:46.000 They can.

02:27:47.000 So...

02:27:49.000 Allowing them to do that further incentivizes them to do what they need to do. 0.86

02:27:52.000 So now from that perspective, from a political paradigm, you have this issue where, at least when I was in San Francisco, there's a whole economy around homelessness where people are getting fucking rich.

02:28:04.000 In what way?

02:28:05.000 So, I was doing a series of interviews in San Francisco, and what ends up happening is you get all this money designated for helping homeless people, helping people on the streets, so forth and so on.

02:28:17.000 But then none of that money finds its way to the people.

02:28:21.000 Where is the money going?

02:28:23.000 And the guy I was talking to, he's like, people are basically lining up their pockets with that money because there's no accountability for what the money's doing.

02:28:33.000 Right.

02:28:34.000 And so within these places, since you are in a position, for instance, it's like, who's not going to allot money to create housing for people who don't have houses?

02:28:47.000 I mean, is that something that you would have a problem with?

02:28:50.000 Well, most people would say, well, it would be nice if they had houses, so let's a lot of money to house them.

02:28:57.000 So let's earmark money off to do that and give it to these programs that are designed to do that.

02:29:03.000 And you feel good about yourself.

02:29:04.000 And then they'll do the bare minimum they need to do, and then the rest of that money goes where?

02:29:04.000 Exactly.

02:29:08.000 Goes where?

02:29:09.000 That's a good question.

02:29:10.000 So that's what I mean by it.

02:29:11.000 Do you know the situation in New York City with the missing money for mental health?

02:29:15.000 That the mayor's wife was involved with?

02:29:15.000 No.

02:29:18.000 No.

02:29:19.000 Go to John Joseph Cromag's Instagram page.

02:29:22.000 He's got a story about it.

02:29:23.000 It's pretty nuts. 0.90

02:29:24.000 There's a shit ton of money missing that they can't account for that the mayor's wife was involved in some sort of a mental health program. 1.00

02:29:33.000 I mean, they gave this program to We'll find out how much money, but it's a staggering amount of money.

02:29:42.000 And so there's an investigation.

02:29:45.000 Where is $850 million gone?

02:29:48.000 Bill de Blasio's wife can't account for a staggering amount of taxpayer money that the New York mayor gave her for a mental health project. 1.00

02:29:57.000 That's a spectacular amount of money that's missing.

02:30:00.000 Oh, wow.

02:30:01.000 How does that work?

02:30:02.000 What do they do?

02:30:03.000 They wait until he's out of office and then they prosecute?

02:30:06.000 I mean, how does that work?

02:30:09.000 Wow.

02:30:10.000 I was just looking.

02:30:11.000 Los Angeles had about a $430 million budget last year for homelessness.

02:30:16.000 Up from $429 million.

02:30:18.000 Where is the money going?

02:30:20.000 Where's that money going?

02:30:22.000 So do you think that there's an industry in maintaining a large homeless presence so that they always have money that's allocated to deal with the homeless situation and that money gets filtered off?

02:30:35.000 It'd be the perfect ruse.

02:30:36.000 I, as a politician, can say, I allotted this money for homelessness.

02:30:38.000 This is what I'm doing to help the homeless people.

02:30:41.000 And I create an organization, leaders of these organizations can then take that money and say, we're an organization that's helping the poor people.

02:30:46.000 And then they're like, do bare minimum.

02:30:48.000 And then just, the rest of the money just...

02:30:51.000 Let's say, think about this. 1.00

02:30:52.000 If it's $430 million and there's only 100,000 people that are homeless, just give them that money and those motherfuckers are rich. 0.99

02:31:04.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

02:31:05.000 I mean, stop and think about it.

02:31:07.000 Have you just gave those 100?

02:31:09.000 I mean, I suck at math, but what is that?

02:31:12.000 430 million, you give it to 100,000 people.

02:31:14.000 What is that?

02:31:15.000 I mean, they certainly have a lot of money.

02:31:17.000 Yeah, it's a lot.

02:31:18.000 There's a story here that they, after a 12% spike in homelessness, the city opened up 39 tiny houses as temporary homes.

02:31:27.000 Those 39 tiny houses cost $39,000.

02:31:30.000 Exactly.

02:31:31.000 Where's the rest of that money?

02:31:32.000 Yeah, for 66,400 people proposed.

02:31:35.000 Wow.

02:31:36.000 But that's an amazing amount of money.

02:31:39.000 Here's the crazy thing.

02:31:40.000 Here's the crazy thing.

02:31:41.000 $7,500 each unit costs.

02:31:42.000 You know what's funny about that?

02:31:43.000 And somehow it costs $5 million to do that.

02:31:45.000 I did a...

02:31:46.000 Wow!

02:31:51.000 Each unit costs $7,500, but the total cost of the project ended up being $5 million, with money spent on water, power, and sewer lines at the site.

02:32:00.000 But meanwhile, they don't even use these things, and they become lawless shantytowns. 0.96

02:32:05.000 No, no.

02:32:06.000 Here's a crazy thing.

02:32:07.000 I did a documentary about Seattle.

02:32:10.000 I was talking with this young lady.

02:32:12.000 So they had the same kind of shanty towns in Seattle for all of the drug users, you know, heroin acts and stuff like that. 0.89

02:32:20.000 You can't shoot up in those communities.

02:32:23.000 You have to do it outside of the community.

02:32:26.000 So what they do, they'll do all the drugs on the streets.

02:32:29.000 Then when they go into the shanty towns, they can't do drugs. 1.00

02:32:32.000 Is there a police in the shanty towns to stop them from doing it? 1.00

02:32:34.000 I don't know how it works, but this is how she explained it to me.

02:32:37.000 And she's like, that's why you see all the needles that you see in Seattle that are all over the place.

02:32:41.000 Now, part of that, too, is, you know, the needle exchange program, so forth and so on.

02:32:45.000 That's a whole other conversation.

02:32:46.000 I'm looking at things in a different way now because I didn't know there was that much money that was allocated towards homelessness and really no benefit.

02:32:53.000 Now I'm thinking about it like a business.

02:32:55.000 I think you might be right.

02:32:56.000 They got a state grant that goes towards Los Angeles that would go maybe to another part of the state.

02:33:02.000 But bro, that's so much money.

02:33:04.000 $430 million is so crazy that you can't do anything to fix it and it keeps getting worse.

02:33:10.000 So is there anything that's written about the scandal of the $430 million allocated towards homeless people in Los Angeles?

02:33:18.000 Where does that money go?

02:33:20.000 There should be a where...

02:33:22.000 This is before pandemic.

02:33:24.000 An article from the LA Times in 2019. LA spent $619 million on homelessness last year.

02:33:30.000 What?!

02:33:31.000 $619?

02:33:34.000 $619 million on homelessness? 0.99

02:33:37.000 Bro, what in the fuck is that? 0.98

02:33:39.000 The report would show likely little to no progress. 0.99

02:33:42.000 But this is $619 million in a year in 2019 when there was no pandemic.

02:33:47.000 So imagine what that...

02:33:49.000 That is crazy.

02:33:50.000 And we're printing money at this point.

02:33:52.000 So could you imagine what that's going to be in, what, 2022?

02:33:56.000 Look at this.

02:33:57.000 LA homeless housing costs have risen to 530...

02:34:01.000 Go to the top one.

02:34:03.000 $531,000 a unit.

02:34:07.000 $531,000.

02:34:08.000 For that, you could buy them a dope condo.

02:34:13.000 $531,000?

02:34:14.000 Oh, you haven't subscribed to LA Times?

02:34:16.000 Yeah, but you can get it in Silmar.

02:34:18.000 Just push them out.

02:34:21.000 Give them a nice place to live.

02:34:22.000 Say, hey, you can live here.

02:34:23.000 You have a free condo.

02:34:24.000 A $500,000 condo.

02:34:28.000 I mean, I guess there is something to be said about maintenance and so forth and so on.

02:34:31.000 But look at this!

02:34:32.000 LA's $1.2 billion bond measure to combat homelessness.

02:34:36.000 You telling me no one's getting rich off of this? 1.00

02:34:40.000 Holy shit. 1.00

02:34:41.000 Come on, now. 1.00

02:34:42.000 I didn't know.

02:34:44.000 I just thought there was no money for it.

02:34:46.000 I'm so naive.

02:34:47.000 There's definitely money for it.

02:34:48.000 What are you talking about?

02:34:49.000 What are you talking about?

02:34:50.000 They text people to high hell in California. 1.00

02:34:52.000 I know, but I just thought that it was allocated to other shit, like making sure that trans people have a good bathroom. 0.99

02:34:58.000 I mean, I'm pretty sure that happens, too. 1.00

02:35:00.000 But that's nuts, man. 0.98

02:35:01.000 The amount of money that's involved in that is fucking bananas. 0.97

02:35:05.000 I just found an article that says, like, where is the money going? 0.97

02:35:07.000 Let me see if that's interesting.

02:35:10.000 That's a crazy scam.

02:35:12.000 That's crazy.

02:35:13.000 I remember when I was sitting there across from it and I was sitting and I'm looking around and I'm like, this is crazy.

02:35:18.000 We were actually interviewing people who lived on the street.

02:35:21.000 And they were telling us, they were like, and funny thing is she was like, even affordable housing was too high for her to afford.

02:35:26.000 I do remember one part that, like, this is a part of the problem, is that when we were still living there, I remember there was like some area, maybe in Fresno or something, we've talked about before, there's like a big area where a camp did set, like, sort of start, and there was a lot of fighting then where they would have a proposed new place to be built,

02:35:44.000 and then the area would just, like, all the residents would fight.

02:35:50.000 I think there's something we're not accounting for, though, too, is the drug use.

02:35:54.000 A lot of it is mental issues being exacerbated by drug use, and then you have the drug use aspect of it as well.

02:36:01.000 I think there is something to be said about the deterioration if you did create a certain environment for people who are homeless to go and live. 0.98

02:36:07.000 That being said, where the fuck is the money going? 0.99

02:36:10.000 Where the fuck is the money going? 0.99

02:36:12.000 Dude, where the fuck is the money going? 0.99

02:36:14.000 I didn't know. 1.00

02:36:15.000 I feel like a fool. 0.97

02:36:17.000 Up until this point, I never took into account the possibility of massive corruption. 0.93

02:36:22.000 I feel like I thought about it in terms of like, what are you going to do?

02:36:26.000 You know, because in Austin, they have like 2,000 homeless people. 0.99

02:36:30.000 It ain't shit. 0.99

02:36:31.000 It's a lot. 0.99

02:36:32.000 We think it's a lot. 0.99

02:36:33.000 We think it's a lot, but it ain't shit. 0.98

02:36:35.000 And, you know, they think it's a problem they can fix, and they actually have some ideas on the table to fix it. 0.97

02:36:42.000 They've got some plans.

02:36:43.000 I will say this.

02:36:44.000 The one mitigating factor...

02:36:47.000 It's Texas heat.

02:36:48.000 That's true.

02:36:49.000 That's a huge mitigating factor.

02:36:51.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:36:52.000 Because that, I mean, you'll die.

02:36:53.000 Yeah.

02:36:54.000 Well, you know what they did in El Paso?

02:36:55.000 They had it set up where they had an outside area and an inside area.

02:36:59.000 And the inside area was heated and cooled.

02:37:01.000 But you could go in the outside area, but you didn't have to be clean.

02:37:05.000 But if you wanted to go in the inside area, they had to drug test you and you couldn't use.

02:37:09.000 And so they gave people an incentive to clean up, which kind of makes sense.

02:37:14.000 Yeah.

02:37:14.000 I mean, I live in downtown Dallas, and so I live about a block or two away from a homeless shelter.

02:37:20.000 Jesus.

02:37:21.000 Yeah, I deal with it.

02:37:22.000 I mean, it's not anywhere near what you get with...

02:37:25.000 No, I've been.

02:37:26.000 I've been.

02:37:27.000 I was there last year.

02:37:28.000 It's a joke in comparison.

02:37:30.000 Yeah, sure, I wake up in the morning sometimes, there's a guy standing out my front door yelling and screaming to himself, but by and large...

02:37:36.000 But you're in a Porsche Turbo, and you're like... 0.99

02:37:40.000 See you later, crazy man. 0.98

02:37:42.000 I talk back sometimes. 0.71

02:37:44.000 Is there an article written on the corruption of the money that's gone to L.A. homelessness?

02:37:49.000 Yeah, I'm digging.

02:37:51.000 Oh, look at Jamie. 1.00

02:37:53.000 It's talking about how L.A. is just a cesspool of fuckery. 0.99

02:38:00.000 I mean, look at what they did with... 1.00

02:38:03.000 What's the name of that damn street? 0.99

02:38:06.000 The one... 1.00

02:38:07.000 Skid Row.

02:38:08.000 Skid Street.

02:38:10.000 I mean, that was purposely designed.

02:38:13.000 They designed it, yeah.

02:38:14.000 Did you see that movie, the Netflix thing on the Cecil Hotel?

02:38:17.000 I watched a summary of it.

02:38:20.000 There's a guy who's a historian on Skid Row, and the most fascinating thing about that thing about the Cecil Hotel was the historian explaining how...

02:38:30.000 Skid Row became Skid Row.

02:38:32.000 They just pushed all the crazy people.

02:38:33.000 They just stay here.

02:38:35.000 And they wouldn't let them leave.

02:38:36.000 Like, they have it boxed off.

02:38:37.000 It's nuts, man.

02:38:38.000 Like, they had it down.

02:38:39.000 And it's been like that for a long time.

02:38:43.000 Down to the color of the lights in order to prevent you from leaving.

02:38:46.000 Isn't that nuts?

02:38:47.000 Dude, when I lived in L.A., rather, when I was doing Fear Factor, we did it in downtown L.A. in the early 2000s.

02:38:55.000 Skid Row was wild then.

02:38:57.000 Wild, man.

02:39:00.000 It's just strange to think that there's no solution.

02:39:04.000 They're not trying to fix it.

02:39:06.000 It's strange to think that they want to keep the homeless situation that way because then they get hundreds of millions of dollars of your tax money every year and then they're raising taxes.

02:39:16.000 There's proposals to raise it up to 16%.

02:39:19.000 I mean, if you think about it, it just funnels through itself.

02:39:23.000 It's a self-contained system.

02:39:24.000 But how do they expect people to stay there?

02:39:26.000 That's what's nuts.

02:39:27.000 What do you mean?

02:39:28.000 Why do they expect people to stay in Los Angeles?

02:39:30.000 I didn't say they were good at what they did.

02:39:33.000 No. 1.00

02:39:35.000 Right, they just take it now, fuck the city. 1.00

02:39:38.000 Let somebody else do that later when I get my money and I'm out of here. 0.99

02:39:41.000 You literally changed my perspective on the homeless situation.

02:39:44.000 I didn't think of it that way.

02:39:46.000 So when I was with the NRA, right, when I was doing the programs that I was doing with the NRA, because I was always saying, why don't we get to the root of the issues?

02:39:53.000 Fix the root of the issues, right?

02:39:55.000 So we said, okay, this season what we're going to do is we're going to travel to different cities that are problematic and see if we can get to the root of the issues.

02:40:01.000 We went to Seattle, San Francisco, the Bay Area...

02:40:05.000 We went to Compton.

02:40:06.000 We went to Southside Chicago.

02:40:08.000 I mean, we went everywhere.

02:40:10.000 And for me, it was incredibly eye-opening. 0.99

02:40:12.000 When you're feet on the ground and you're seeing this shit in real time, you're like, oh... 1.00

02:40:17.000 Holy shit. 0.99

02:40:18.000 I mean, we were in South Central and they had a full shootout on the next street over while we were filming. 0.99

02:40:26.000 You heard it and everything?

02:40:27.000 Dude, we got the hell out of Dodge.

02:40:29.000 I mean, I wasn't caring because it's LA. Not that I would just run over and say, who's over here and start shooting?

02:40:36.000 But there's something to be said about the fact that while we were filming about the underlying issues in this place, there was literally a shootout that happens the next street over.

02:40:44.000 We have to stop filming, jump in the truck and get the hell out of Dodge.

02:40:47.000 So, yeah. 1.00

02:40:50.000 Fuck. 1.00

02:40:51.000 I just never would have imagined that it's that much money that goes to homelessness and that there's actually a vested interest in keeping the problem and even maybe possibly making the problem worse so that there's more money and then they don't have to account for that money. 0.99

02:41:08.000 Who's going to question you about allocating money for homelessness?

02:41:11.000 Right.

02:41:12.000 No one.

02:41:12.000 And who's going to question you about where, like, is there a spreadsheet?

02:41:18.000 Like, did they have to show you a breakdown analysis of...

02:41:21.000 I wonder...

02:41:23.000 I mean, look, the government is notorious with wasting money, and they're notorious with throwing money at solutions.

02:41:29.000 Like, even within my brand, I have a design called Defund Gun Control, right? 0.83

02:41:34.000 Because people undervalue the amount of money that goes into gun control.

02:41:36.000 Like, you have places like Maryland.

02:41:38.000 Maryland in, like, I forgot, it was like 2016, I think, they implemented what they call micro-stamping.

02:41:43.000 Micro-stamping was their new, hot and fancy way of marking firearms.

02:41:48.000 Like, you have micro-stamping in California right now with guns.

02:41:51.000 You have to have a certain type of designator on the firing pin of a particular gun.

02:41:54.000 And it's a claim that's going to be utilized to stop crime, to be able to solve crimes and so forth and so on.

02:42:01.000 Fifteen million dollars later, guess how many crimes it solved?

02:42:05.000 Zero.

02:42:07.000 Fifteen million dollars.

02:42:09.000 Just like that.

02:42:09.000 And they don't have to account for that.

02:42:11.000 So there's no one that says, hey...

02:42:13.000 Because it's about gun safety.

02:42:15.000 So because it's about gun safety, it's a protected class.

02:42:19.000 Then who's going to question it?

02:42:20.000 They're very good with language.

02:42:22.000 Very good with language.

02:42:23.000 That's why it went from gun control to reasonable gun control to...

02:42:28.000 Gun safety.

02:42:29.000 Gun safety.

02:42:30.000 There's a progression.

02:42:31.000 And Nancy Pelosi is on record saying this.

02:42:35.000 Really?

02:42:36.000 Yes!

02:42:36.000 I forgot she was talking to a bunch of college students.

02:42:39.000 She was like, you know, they changed the name, they stopped saying gun control, and they started saying gun safety.

02:42:44.000 Because you can sell gun safety.

02:42:46.000 You can't sell gun control as well, because what does that designate?

02:42:49.000 It's control!

02:42:50.000 Do you hear what she said about the Capitol Hill rioters?

02:42:52.000 No.

02:42:53.000 She would have fought them off?

02:42:54.000 With what?

02:42:55.000 Her ice cream?

02:42:57.000 Headbutts. 0.94

02:42:57.000 She'd take that numb head. 0.94

02:42:59.000 She can't feel shit. 1.00

02:43:00.000 All that Botox in her forehead, she would just fucking thump. 1.00

02:43:03.000 I didn't realize she was that rich. 1.00

02:43:04.000 Oh, she's so rich.

02:43:06.000 It doesn't make any sense.

02:43:08.000 How'd you make that money?

02:43:09.000 Who wrote it?

02:43:10.000 Where'd you get that money?

02:43:12.000 You're a public servant.

02:43:13.000 Where are you getting that money? 1.00

02:43:14.000 I'm not going to count people's pockets, but damn. 1.00

02:43:17.000 Like, she's loaded. 0.99

02:43:19.000 Hundreds of millions, right?

02:43:20.000 Oh, yes.

02:43:20.000 Where'd you get that money?

02:43:22.000 A bunch of stuff with her.

02:43:25.000 Taxes this week, too.

02:43:26.000 Like, a million dollars on Roblox.

02:43:29.000 That game.

02:43:30.000 What?

02:43:31.000 Yeah.

02:43:31.000 She spent a million dollars on Roblox?

02:43:33.000 What?

02:43:33.000 Yeah.

02:43:34.000 Are you serious?

02:43:35.000 Bro, my 10-year-old plays that game. 1.00

02:43:36.000 That game is stupid as fuck. 1.00

02:43:38.000 Speculation, like stock speculation. 1.00

02:43:39.000 Great for a 10-year-old.

02:43:40.000 Yeah.

02:43:40.000 What?

02:43:40.000 Stock speculation?

02:43:41.000 Yeah.

02:43:42.000 Oh, well, Roblox makes a fuckload of money.

02:43:45.000 There was something that happened too this week where Microsoft got a huge contract and she put some money in Microsoft and they were like, if she did this, like insider trading guys.

02:43:54.000 Oh, I did see that, yeah.

02:43:55.000 She seems immune to all that stuff for some strange reason.

02:43:58.000 She's very Teflon. 1.00

02:43:59.000 Because she should have... 1.00

02:44:00.000 That fucking whole beauty salon thing should have taken her down. 1.00

02:44:04.000 She's like, I think it was the setup. 1.00

02:44:06.000 They set me up.

02:44:08.000 It was the setup.

02:44:10.000 The setup? 1.00

02:44:11.000 You didn't have a fucking mask on. 1.00

02:44:13.000 You know you're supposed to wear a mask. 1.00

02:44:15.000 You know the beauty salons are closed. 0.98

02:44:17.000 You know how I know you know? 0.99

02:44:19.000 Because I know, and I don't have any fucking hair. 1.00

02:44:23.000 You're a goddamn lawmaker and you didn't know that they were closed? 1.00

02:44:26.000 It was a setup. 1.00

02:44:28.000 They set me up.

02:44:29.000 I think they should apologize.

02:44:31.000 It was a setup.

02:44:32.000 I would have fought those Capitol Hill people off of my head.

02:44:37.000 What? 0.94

02:44:38.000 What are you talking about?

02:44:39.000 I would have taken my clothes off and run out of them.

02:44:44.000 Like, what?

02:44:44.000 What are you doing, lady?

02:44:46.000 She's got so much power. 0.97

02:44:48.000 Dude, it's crazy, man.

02:44:49.000 And you know what?

02:44:50.000 It's like, for someone to fight that, you would have to get involved in politics so deeply.

02:44:54.000 You would have to become an elected official.

02:44:57.000 You'd have to get to Capitol Hill.

02:44:59.000 That's assuming you get that far without being corrupted.

02:45:01.000 Right, and you'd have to get into that system.

02:45:03.000 Yeah.

02:45:03.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.

02:45:05.000 What a mess.

02:45:06.000 I'm trying to compare LA's homeless problem to, let's say, New York.

02:45:11.000 They spend, it says, up from 2014 to 2019, $3.2 billion.

02:45:18.000 And there they have to provide a place.

02:45:23.000 $3 billion?

02:45:25.000 And their numbers haven't gone down and it's still around 60,000 in the city?

02:45:31.000 They still haven't gone down!

02:45:32.000 There's 60,000 people in New York City that are homeless?

02:45:35.000 Jesus Christ.

02:45:36.000 Oh my God.

02:45:38.000 It's a scam.

02:45:39.000 It has to be a scam.

02:45:41.000 It has to be.

02:45:42.000 So it's grown over 10,000 since de Blasio took over?

02:45:45.000 De Blasio. 1.00

02:45:47.000 God damn, these people are gross. 1.00

02:45:49.000 It says, a little known fact that the city of New York is legally obliged to provide housing for those without it. 0.99

02:45:54.000 But with the explosion of the city's homelessness population, you'd be forgiven for not knowing that.

02:45:59.000 How crazy is that money missing, though?

02:46:01.000 That's bananas.

02:46:03.000 $820 million.

02:46:05.000 That's so much money!

02:46:06.000 God!

02:46:08.000 Even if you just took 10% of that.

02:46:11.000 82 million just sitting around.

02:46:13.000 Where'd it go?

02:46:15.000 Somewhere, whatever.

02:46:16.000 I had a dead set policy about getting into running for office.

02:46:19.000 I think I might change that now.

02:46:21.000 I know, right?

02:46:22.000 Jesus Christ.

02:46:23.000 Jesus Christ.

02:46:25.000 1% of that.

02:46:26.000 Yeah.

02:46:27.000 1% you got 8 million bucks.

02:46:31.000 1% is missing.

02:46:32.000 Whatever, whatever.

02:46:33.000 It's 1%.

02:46:33.000 What's 1%?

02:46:35.000 Why are you being so picky?

02:46:36.000 Yeah.

02:46:37.000 I'm trying to stop.

02:46:38.000 What am I trying to stop?

02:46:39.000 Mental health-ness.

02:46:40.000 Mental health problems.

02:46:42.000 God, so we just...

02:46:44.000 And you know what, man?

02:46:46.000 It's like, who is going to fix us?

02:46:48.000 Who's going to help us?

02:46:49.000 Who's going to change anything?

02:46:50.000 Nobody.

02:46:51.000 There's no one on the horizon.

02:46:55.000 I'm at a loss.

02:46:56.000 I'm at a loss, too.

02:46:59.000 And that's why we all need guns.

02:47:02.000 Bring it back around.

02:47:03.000 Same thing in this city, too.

02:47:05.000 Not as much, but...

02:47:06.000 In Austin?

02:47:07.000 Yeah.

02:47:08.000 How much in Austin?

02:47:09.000 It says the city of Austin devoted $73.4 million in taxpayer funding and they've only spent 57% of it.

02:47:15.000 Jesus.

02:47:16.000 Millions yet...

02:47:17.000 What does it say?

02:47:17.000 Millions yet to be spent in the city of Austin funding for the homeless?

02:47:24.000 Wow.

02:47:25.000 Good Lord.

02:47:26.000 That doesn't scare me as much though, but there's not that many people here.

02:47:29.000 Yeah, there's way less people here.

02:47:30.000 Way less. 1.00

02:47:32.000 Fuck, man. 1.00

02:47:33.000 We're gonna have to move to Montana where people freeze to death if they try to be homeless? 1.00

02:47:36.000 Mars.

02:47:40.000 Mars, yeah.

02:47:40.000 Elon's gonna ship the homeless people to Mars.

02:47:42.000 Imagine if they're the first people to go to Mars.

02:47:44.000 Yeah, give them free housing on Mars.

02:47:46.000 You can live inside the dome.

02:47:49.000 Dude, this podcast is very important because you literally changed my opinion about homelessness.

02:47:53.000 I didn't think there was any money being allocated towards homelessness.

02:47:56.000 I looked at what was going on in LA and I was like, well clearly they don't have any money.

02:48:00.000 That's what I thought.

02:48:01.000 The fact that there's hundreds of millions of dollars.

02:48:04.000 The way you are right now was the way I was when I was doing that documentary.

02:48:08.000 I was like, what?

02:48:10.000 I can't believe it.

02:48:11.000 I really can't believe it.

02:48:12.000 I can't believe how naive I am, too.

02:48:13.000 That I just thought it was just a money problem.

02:48:16.000 I'm like, well, maybe if we got more money, they would fix it. 1.00

02:48:19.000 No, it's a goddamn pilfering scheme. 0.99

02:48:21.000 Yeah, it's perfect, too. 1.00

02:48:22.000 It's a Bernie Madoff, is what it is.

02:48:24.000 Wow.

02:48:24.000 Oh, no, you wound?

02:48:25.000 Let's see if this is correct.

02:48:27.000 What do you got?

02:48:28.000 I'm reading through lamer.org.

02:48:30.000 So this is, you know, it sounds pretty official.

02:48:32.000 How LA is responding to this thing from Mayor Garcetti's office.

02:48:35.000 Five years ago, less than $20 million in the city budget was earmarked for homelessness.

02:48:39.000 Since then, it's gone up to $460 million.

02:48:44.000 And five years ago, there was no homeless people.

02:48:46.000 It was so small in comparison.

02:48:48.000 So there's more and more money involved in it.

02:49:10.000 Of which there is not much.

02:49:12.000 Which, there's not much homelessness service in housing, and the numbers of homeless people, more importantly, have radically increased.

02:49:21.000 Wow, it's an industry.

02:49:23.000 There's a homeless money industry.

02:49:26.000 And the more homeless people there are, the more money they can get to conquer the homeless problem. 0.99

02:49:33.000 What a fucking bummer way to end this podcast. 0.98

02:49:36.000 Funneling money into the bank. 0.99

02:49:37.000 That is crazy.

02:49:39.000 That's why we need more guns. 0.92

02:49:41.000 It is.

02:49:42.000 But it does seem like that really is what's going on.

02:49:45.000 I mean, otherwise, how else could it be that bad?

02:49:47.000 It doesn't make any sense.

02:49:49.000 Any human being can look at that and say that something's not right here.

02:49:51.000 So what was the number 400 and what million this year?

02:49:55.000 60. Okay.

02:49:56.000 Divide 460 million by 100,000.

02:50:00.000 Let's just say 100,000.

02:50:01.000 Let's pretend.

02:50:02.000 Well, that's 460,000 then.

02:50:02.000 You just take off those three zeros.

02:50:04.000 Oh.

02:50:04.000 So that's 460,000 a person for every homeless person.

02:50:08.000 That's right.

02:50:08.000 Let me do it again.

02:50:09.000 That can't be right.

02:50:09.000 I can't simplify it that easy.

02:50:11.000 60,000, 1, 2, 3, divide it by, maybe it's all the zeros.

02:50:16.000 1, 2, 3. 46,000?

02:50:19.000 Yeah, 4,600.

02:50:21.000 Yeah, take off all this stuff.

02:50:21.000 4,600 per person?

02:50:22.000 Yeah, I was doing, I missed 3 zeros there.

02:50:24.000 4,600, yeah, yeah.

02:50:25.000 Boy, you're way off.

02:50:26.000 Well, I'm trying to do it quick.

02:50:28.000 I'm typing and doing things.

02:50:29.000 That's terrible.

02:50:30.000 Meanwhile, I couldn't do it either.

02:50:32.000 No, 4,600 is nothing.

02:50:34.000 4,600.

02:50:34.000 That's nothing.

02:50:35.000 That's nothing.

02:50:35.000 That's 100,000.

02:50:37.000 And you get back to 460 million.

02:50:40.000 Wow, that's 4,600. 0.99

02:50:42.000 4,600 per person ain't shit. 0.99

02:50:43.000 Yeah. 0.98

02:50:44.000 They ain't going to fix that.

02:50:45.000 They have a proposed thing in here to- For a trillion dollars.

02:50:49.000 To subsidize.

02:50:49.000 Give every homeless person a ursus.

02:50:52.000 They're going to use $800 million to subsidize rent for 18 months.

02:50:55.000 That's one plan. 0.99

02:50:56.000 And then once that 18 months is up- You kill them. 1.00

02:50:58.000 Then they have to pay for rent, I guess. 1.00

02:51:01.000 Good luck.

02:51:02.000 I think the biggest problem is the biggest driver of the homelessness is drugs.

02:51:08.000 Yes, and mental illness, for sure.

02:51:10.000 Drugs and mental illness.

02:51:12.000 But they go hand in hand.

02:51:14.000 Pretty much.

02:51:16.000 Sad. 1.00

02:51:16.000 Motherfucker. 1.00

02:51:17.000 That's crazy. 1.00

02:51:19.000 This whole thing is not...

02:51:21.000 And here's the thing.

02:51:23.000 What do you do to fix it?

02:51:25.000 You round them up and put them in jail?

02:51:27.000 What do you do?

02:51:28.000 That's a good point.

02:51:29.000 There's nothing you can do.

02:51:30.000 And the way they've allowed it to spread and people are moving out of Venice in droves.

02:51:35.000 Venice is crazy because Venice used to be bulletproof.

02:51:38.000 You could always buy a home there in Venice and it would always be worth...

02:51:40.000 A good investment, but not anymore.

02:51:43.000 Wow.

02:51:43.000 I have friends who live in Venice.

02:51:44.000 They're trying to get out.

02:51:45.000 They can't sell their house.

02:51:46.000 They're like, people used to be able to sell houses easy in Venice, and now people are just selling everything.

02:51:52.000 It's like, we're getting out.

02:51:53.000 Wow.

02:51:54.000 And this is not that long ago.

02:51:57.000 I think Google started moving into Venice just a few years ago, and then housing went way up, and everybody who lived there was really pumped.

02:52:04.000 They were like, dude, it's a great place to live now for an investment.

02:52:08.000 I'm selling my house. 0.98

02:52:09.000 I mean, last time I was in Venice, I was like, this place is weird as fuck. 0.99

02:52:11.000 It's weird as fuck. 1.00

02:52:13.000 It's weird as fuck. 0.99

02:52:13.000 Well, that's where my favorite restaurant is. 0.99

02:52:15.000 There's a place called Felix on Abbot Kinney. 0.98

02:52:18.000 It's fucking amazing. 0.97

02:52:19.000 Shout out to Janet and Evan. 1.00

02:52:22.000 The people who own and the head chef there, it's incredible, but it's in a shithole. 0.73

02:52:27.000 It's like, you know, the place is, you're driving around there, man. 0.82

02:52:30.000 It's just all these weirdos and sketchy people and like walk quick, walk quick, get to the restaurant.

02:52:34.000 You know, like you park your car and you're like, I hope it's here when we get back.

02:52:38.000 And if it's not, guess what? 0.98

02:52:39.000 Nobody gives a shit. 0.96

02:52:40.000 And if somebody breaks into your car, don't even bother calling the police because unless they did more than $900 worth of damage. 0.99

02:52:46.000 Yeah, they're allowed to.

02:52:47.000 Yeah, it's crazy. 1.00

02:52:48.000 Like, People are breaking into cars and just stealing their shit. 0.99

02:52:51.000 Stealing people's grills out of their backyard. 0.99

02:52:54.000 I haven't heard, because we haven't run out there, is there a hard line between Santa Monica and Venice now?

02:52:59.000 And you can tell?

02:53:00.000 No, there's a lot of homelessness in Santa Monica.

02:53:02.000 A lot.

02:53:03.000 I saw a lot last time I was there.

02:53:05.000 Because I haven't been there in a while and I kind of forgot how close they are.

02:53:08.000 Yeah, they're close.

02:53:08.000 They're right next to each other.

02:53:10.000 Malibu is trying to do something about it.

02:53:12.000 That's where you get the Richie Riches.

02:53:13.000 They stop people from parking their caravans on the PCH. People that have those camper vans that they live in.

02:53:23.000 Where the hell do they get those things?

02:53:24.000 I don't know, man, but there's a lot of them.

02:53:26.000 That's like classy homeless people.

02:53:29.000 They're homeless but they can drive around.

02:53:30.000 Those are people who've made a lifestyle out of it.

02:53:33.000 Yeah, they've committed.

02:53:34.000 But I mean, you can live like that and you're kind of still living.

02:53:37.000 A lot of those things have potable water, you can take a shower.

02:53:41.000 You know, it's like you're kind of alive.

02:53:44.000 You just don't have an apartment.

02:53:45.000 It's better than...

02:53:46.000 But I mean, you think about it though.

02:53:47.000 If your sole purpose is to get high...

02:53:50.000 Yeah.

02:53:51.000 Yeah.

02:53:52.000 All you need is bare minimums and then get high.

02:53:54.000 That's your revolving life.

02:53:56.000 And you don't even really have to drive it.

02:53:58.000 You just have to park it somewhere.

02:54:00.000 And if they're allowing you to park on a lot of these streets and keep it there, you got an apartment.

02:54:04.000 You can lock it and then you leave and everything. 1.00

02:54:07.000 Fuck, dude. 1.00

02:54:08.000 Is there a way to cheer me up before we wrap this up? 1.00

02:54:11.000 You go shoot. 0.94

02:54:12.000 I wish I could. 0.98

02:54:14.000 I've got things to do, man.

02:54:15.000 I've got to get my kids.

02:54:18.000 No, no, you're good.

02:54:19.000 But we'll do it another day, for sure.

02:54:20.000 Yeah, we should go to the range, but we should go outside.

02:54:25.000 No, I prefer shooting outside.

02:54:27.000 I know you took Shaub to one of them tactical courses with all the tires and stuff.

02:54:31.000 Where's that?

02:54:31.000 Is that in Dallas?

02:54:32.000 That's in Dallas, yeah.
