00:00:04.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.

00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!

00:00:11.000 Oh, so good to see you.

00:00:14.000 Always good to see you.

00:00:18.000 I wish I didn't see you so often after mass shootings though.

00:00:21.000 Yeah.

00:00:22.000 Because it seems like so many times when there's a gun control...

00:00:25.000 Well, you're the first guy I always call.

00:00:27.000 Because I think you're the very best at explaining gun issues from, first of all, from a Second Amendment perspective, from an enthusiast perspective, and also you're a lawyer.

00:00:39.000 Yeah.

00:00:40.000 So you understand the law aspect of it better than anybody that I know. 0.98

00:00:46.000 So I always want to talk to you when some shit is going down, but... 0.98

00:00:51.000 The current mass shooting, the most recent one, was... 0.99

00:00:57.000 It's like...

00:00:58.000 There's so many of them that it gets to a point where you go...

00:01:03.000 People almost just go numb.

00:01:06.000 Like, they don't know what to do.

00:01:07.000 And then there's a lot of scrambling and crying out for legislation.

00:01:13.000 I think it's...

00:01:15.000 You know, one, no one can deny our media does a beautiful job memorializing everything about every mass shooting in terms of the killer, what we know about him, you know, for the most part, almost sensationalizing it.

00:01:30.000 And so there is something to be said that, you know...

00:01:34.000 Someone walking into a school, somebody walking into a building where you don't expect anything shooting a bunch of people deserves that type of attention.

00:01:40.000 I'm not going to be so naive.

00:01:41.000 That's to say that, you know, I don't get why anybody, why they cover it so much.

00:01:46.000 But there is an admitted sense of helplessness when these things happen.

00:01:51.000 Where it's like, okay, so what do we do?

00:01:54.000 What can we do?

00:01:56.000 I think the scapegoat route is gun control.

00:02:01.000 Because I think what it does is it gives us the immediate gratification of, alright, we did something, we passed this, alright, let's move on and hope it never happens again.

00:02:11.000 Problem is, though, it never touches the underlying issues about why people would do this.

00:02:16.000 This is weird. 0.95

00:02:17.000 It's fucking odd. 0.99

00:02:18.000 It's not normal for people to want to go out and just kill as many people as possible. 0.99

00:02:22.000 Not just that. 1.00

00:02:23.000 Just kill children. 1.00

00:02:24.000 And that takes it to a whole new level. 1.00

00:02:26.000 Yeah.

00:02:26.000 And this guy, I mean, obviously, there was something really wrong with him.

00:02:36.000 But the the thing about the killing the children is it's like it's That's why school shootings are so fucked because they're the most horrific version of a mass shooting because you're going after innocent little kids and this was the most evil and Then there's there's also so much to this one, 0.94

00:02:54.000 right? 0.95

00:02:54.000 There's so much to the amount of time that the cops were outside that they didn't do anything because they didn't want to get shot and But that's just it, too, though, which is the weird thing for me. 0.95

00:03:03.000 So we can acknowledge that in this situation, the same situation that happened in Florida, right?

00:03:09.000 The resource officer didn't go in in time when he could have probably stopped it sooner.

00:03:13.000 But at least that was one guy.

00:03:15.000 True.

00:03:15.000 This is insane.

00:03:17.000 I mean, how many cops were outside that school?

00:03:19.000 Jesus.

00:03:20.000 Enough that they should have probably went in without saying.

00:03:24.000 They were outside for 75 minutes.

00:03:26.000 Yeah.

00:03:29.000 Could you imagine?

00:03:30.000 But that's just it though, if you think about it.

00:03:34.000 The same people, not the same people, but then you'll have people who say, okay, well, we need to limit and restrict these guns. 1.00

00:03:40.000 But all that does is force us to depend on people who we've already established in a lot of situations aren't necessarily incapable of being there to protect us, or in situations like this, refusing to go in and protect us.

00:03:54.000 Now, I can see someone coming up on the other side saying something about, oh, so you want the kids to have guns there, too?

00:03:59.000 That's not what I'm saying.

00:04:00.000 Well, that's crazy.

00:04:02.000 Yeah.

00:04:02.000 But what I am saying is...

00:04:07.000 Right.

00:04:13.000 Right.

00:04:23.000 And Jamie.

00:04:23.000 Yeah.

00:04:24.000 So from that perspective, I try to keep things and break things down to that simplistic level so people can understand that instead of just kind of immediately reacting to, all right, let's ban this and let's ban that and let's ban this.

00:04:36.000 But we are talking about, like you said, a group of officers who stood outside while kids were being shot and killed.

00:04:42.000 Those guys should never be cops again.

00:04:43.000 I'm going to have to agree with you in that regard.

00:04:45.000 Now, this is me not being in Uvalde, not knowing all of the intimate details about why they stood down, but at the end of the day, I have a hard time seeing what supersedes there's a guy in classrooms killing kids right now.

00:04:57.000 Well, you know about that mom, the mom that was arrested?

00:04:59.000 They cuffed her. 0.96

00:05:01.000 They released her.

00:05:03.000 She went back in, got her kids. 1.00

00:05:07.000 Fuck yeah. 1.00

00:05:08.000 Fuck yeah for her. 1.00

00:05:09.000 Horrible that she had to do that. 1.00

00:05:11.000 But the fact that they cuffed her. 0.99

00:05:13.000 That's fucking insane. 0.99

00:05:15.000 That's utterly unacceptable. 1.00

00:05:17.000 I don't understand.

00:05:18.000 I just don't understand.

00:05:19.000 I mean, maybe I'm missing something, but nothing has been exposed.

00:05:23.000 Nothing has been explained.

00:05:25.000 I think there's a part of me that wants to believe.

00:05:27.000 Right.

00:05:28.000 That there was some extenuating circumstance that justified.

00:05:31.000 And I don't see it.

00:05:33.000 Even my imagination, as vivid as it is, can't think of something that would substantiate or justify why they hadn't gone in.

00:05:39.000 Well, it's a perfect storm, right?

00:05:40.000 Because we're in a terrible time for law enforcement in that all this defund the police stuff has gotten people very skittish about I know cops that don't want to do things because they don't want to get in trouble.

00:05:57.000 They don't want to show up for things.

00:05:59.000 They want to wait before they show up for things because they don't want it to be something they have to handle because they feel tied up.

00:06:06.000 They feel like their hands are tied.

00:06:07.000 Yeah.

00:06:08.000 It's a balancing act too, right?

00:06:09.000 Yeah.

00:06:09.000 It's like we don't necessarily want cops to go in there I don't mean just in this particular situation, Evaldi, but just having—be completely let off the leash to the extent that they can do anything that they want anytime and there'll be no— Of course.

00:06:21.000 They can't be held accountable for anything, right?

00:06:23.000 Of course, yes.

00:06:23.000 While at the same time, we need them to go in without having to essentially be attorneys, you know, in the moment, trying to decide, like, I was just in Wisconsin.

00:06:33.000 And I was with the USCCA, which is a concealed carry insurance membership program.

00:06:40.000 And what we were doing was working scenario-based training.

00:06:43.000 So they set up this whole situation for me, like we're in a coffee shop, I have a girlfriend that I'm talking to, and then a guy comes in, robs the place, and a bunch of other scenarios that happen.

00:06:52.000 And because of my knowledge base and things that I'm aware of from a legal perspective, even in that moment when I'm trying to decide, do I shoot?

00:07:00.000 Do I not shoot?

00:07:00.000 Because, you know, you ever run Sims?

00:07:02.000 No.

00:07:02.000 Sims are like the basically real guns converted into more or less fake guns, so to speak.

00:07:08.000 So they shoot these cartridges that hurt like a bitch. 1.00

00:07:11.000 They hurt and they sound like they're really loud. 0.99

00:07:13.000 The gun operates the same.

00:07:14.000 Everything's the same, except they shoot these.

00:07:16.000 It's kind of like elevated paintball.

00:07:18.000 And in this case, we weren't using the actual projectile.

00:07:21.000 What we were using was what this did is emitted a laser instead of actually shooting a projectile.

00:07:26.000 But everything else was the same.

00:07:27.000 It was loud, recall, and all of that stuff.

00:07:30.000 And so in that moment, I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, all right, when is it justified for me to shoot?

00:07:36.000 Now, in that moment, in that scenario, you can only kind of mimic reality to a certain extent before, you know, you get overwhelmed with the thought of, okay, I might die.

00:07:46.000 I have the benefit to some degree to kind of think logically through, okay, if I shoot now, is it justified?

00:07:52.000 If I don't shoot now, and so forth and so on.

00:07:54.000 Are you talking about like from a legal perspective?

00:07:56.000 From a legal perspective, yes.

00:07:57.000 And so in that moment, when the guy's in there, he's already shot at one person, he's about to shoot another person, I'm like, okay, this is my time to shoot, but he's not shooting at me.

00:08:06.000 And so I'm like, what do I do?

00:08:08.000 Can I shoot him in and be justified? 0.86

00:08:10.000 So if you're like, let's say if you go into a store and you see a gunfight in the store and you see a guy shooting at someone behind the counter and you're armed, are you allowed to shoot him? 0.95

00:08:20.000 Depends.

00:08:22.000 If he's shooting at people that work at the store.

00:08:25.000 Well, it depends. 0.99

00:08:25.000 Because if you find out later on that the guy behind the counter pointed his gun at him and said, I'm going to kill you. 0.99

00:08:29.000 Right. 0.99

00:08:29.000 Imagine if you shot him first. 0.99

00:08:31.000 Right. 0.99

00:08:32.000 So you don't know.

00:08:33.000 You don't really.

00:08:33.000 You walk into 7-Eleven, there's a gunfight.

00:08:35.000 Yep.

00:08:36.000 You don't know.

00:08:37.000 And so in that situation, and I'm probably kind of giving away too much information because the video's not out yet, but I think it's necessary.

00:08:43.000 So the guy walks in.

00:08:45.000 He says he's robbing the place.

00:08:46.000 He hadn't shot anyone yet.

00:08:48.000 But he starts arguing with another person.

00:08:51.000 And the other guy is supposed to be like a new concealed carrier.

00:08:54.000 And then the guy stands up.

00:08:55.000 He's like, yo, what is your problem?

00:08:56.000 What are you doing?

00:08:57.000 And he's kind of angling towards his gun, but he's not.

00:08:58.000 He hasn't gone for it yet.

00:09:00.000 The other guy has a gun, too.

00:09:01.000 The guy who came in to rob the place.

00:09:02.000 But he hasn't pointed his gun at anyone.

00:09:03.000 He hasn't shot anyone.

00:09:04.000 So at that point, theoretically speaking, you could argue that's just mutual combat.

00:09:10.000 Yeah.

00:09:10.000 Right?

00:09:11.000 So which one can I shoot?

00:09:12.000 Who's actually endangering who?

00:09:15.000 Right.

00:09:15.000 Right?

00:09:15.000 So I ended up shooting the guy who came to rob the place.

00:09:18.000 The problem is... 0.97

00:09:20.000 I shot him in the back too. 0.96

00:09:22.000 But that was from the standpoint of when I decided to shoot, I know how to shoot. 0.80

00:09:27.000 So I dropped four or five rounds just naturally into the guy. 0.99

00:09:32.000 He's like, oh shit, he turns around because he's getting shocked as I'm shooting him. 0.99

00:09:36.000 So he turns to run. 0.99

00:09:37.000 So is it like a laser that sets off like a haptic feedback suit?

00:09:41.000 Yeah, so you're wearing a vest, right?

00:09:42.000 It's called a stress vest.

00:09:43.000 So you're wearing a stress vest, and so it sends out a laser every time you hit that person, and it shocks you.

00:09:49.000 And does it shock you like a taser?

00:09:51.000 It's as bad as you want it to be.

00:09:52.000 Really?

00:09:53.000 So you can get it to the point where it immobilizes your body?

00:09:55.000 I don't think it gets that high.

00:09:57.000 I think it gets to the point where you're like, okay, get this thing off me.

00:10:00.000 Have you ever been tased?

00:10:01.000 No.

00:10:02.000 I haven't either, but I've watched people get tased, and I'm curious.

00:10:05.000 I'm not. 0.98

00:10:06.000 Because some people can just fucking handle it, man. 0.99

00:10:07.000 They can't. 1.00

00:10:08.000 Aren't they usually high?

00:10:10.000 I don't know.

00:10:12.000 It's a good question.

00:10:13.000 I think sometimes they're high.

00:10:14.000 But how does that stop your body from shutting off due to the electricity?

00:10:19.000 That is true.

00:10:20.000 That I don't know.

00:10:21.000 Because I've seen people just get zapped and they just stand there. 0.99

00:10:24.000 And they just pull the shit right out of the body. 0.99

00:10:27.000 Now I did see this one video guy did that. 0.99

00:10:28.000 The cop was being very patient with the guy.

00:10:30.000 And he zapped him, nothing.

00:10:33.000 And he's like, alright.

00:10:33.000 And he zapped him again, he dropped.

00:10:35.000 Really?

00:10:35.000 Second time he dropped?

00:10:36.000 So I don't know what plays, what part, you know.

00:10:39.000 I don't understand.

00:10:40.000 That's outside of my wheelhouse, honestly.

00:10:42.000 My friend Dana White, he went for one of his shows.

00:10:46.000 They all got tasered.

00:10:47.000 And they felt like their body just shut off.

00:10:51.000 They just fell over.

00:10:52.000 See, the funny thing about it is I had the stress vest on too.

00:10:55.000 So when I was doing it, so the whole time I'm like, I don't want to experience this. 0.99

00:10:58.000 Yeah, fuck that. 1.00

00:10:59.000 So if he hit you, he turned and hit, yeah. 1.00

00:11:03.000 Yeah, I'm curious to what that's like.

00:11:05.000 I'm sure it's horrible.

00:11:08.000 I mean, I'll put it like this.

00:11:09.000 When I shot him, he yelled.

00:11:11.000 So I'm assuming it's pretty bad. 0.85

00:11:14.000 But, you know, from that perspective, I still ended up shooting him in the back.

00:11:19.000 Now, is that legal?

00:11:21.000 Because you are not in danger.

00:11:24.000 You're just acting almost like as law enforcement or as protection.

00:11:29.000 So in that particular case, once we broke it down, my shooting was justified, right?

00:11:35.000 But it just goes to show you how thin that line is between justified and unjustified.

00:11:39.000 And doesn't it also, like, well, in that situation, was there cameras involved?

00:11:43.000 Yeah.

00:11:43.000 Because it's in a store.

00:11:44.000 Yeah.

00:11:45.000 But what if you're in a school, like in a school situation?

00:11:48.000 Yeah.

00:11:48.000 If you walked in and shot that guy who was killing those kids and you shot him in the back, clearly you'd be justified, right?

00:11:54.000 Yeah, you'd be justified at that because that's in defense of a third party.

00:11:58.000 So at that point, all bets are off.

00:12:00.000 Whether I shoot you in the back, front, side, but I guess the argument that could be made in my particular situation is he was retreating.

00:12:07.000 Right. 0.90

00:12:07.000 Right, because he was running out. 0.90

00:12:08.000 That's why I shot him, because he turned to run away.

00:12:10.000 And so it was basically...

00:12:11.000 And it happens really quickly.

00:12:13.000 Right.

00:12:13.000 And the split times between my trigger pull are pretty fast.

00:12:16.000 So it's like, bang, bang, bang, bang.

00:12:18.000 Right.

00:12:18.000 And, you know, that time period, he can turn and catch one in the back.

00:12:21.000 But...

00:12:22.000 You get an aggressive enough prosecutor, that's the argument they made.

00:12:25.000 If I was a prosecutor, that's the argument I would make.

00:12:26.000 You know about the case in Austin, where a guy was not, he was not charged for a long period of time, but it was at one of the protests during the pandemic, and this guy apparently was military,

00:12:43.000 and he was an Uber driver.

00:12:44.000 He was Uber driving?

00:12:46.000 Yeah, so he pulled down this road, I think he was following his GPS, and he pulled down this road, and all of a sudden he's faced with the people that were blocking the road, and this guy pulls an AK-47 out and points it at him.

00:12:59.000 And he shoots him.

00:13:01.000 He's a veteran. 0.89

00:13:02.000 I mean, he's used to being in, you know, live combat situations, and he just pulls out his gun and shoots him.

00:13:08.000 Did he get charged?

00:13:09.000 He did get charged.

00:13:10.000 Did he get convicted?

00:13:10.000 I don't know.

00:13:11.000 Let's find out what the status on that was because all my friends that are law enforcement or military were furious that he got charged because this guy literally pointed the gun at his face.

00:13:23.000 Like he's standing there pointing the gun.

00:13:26.000 What are you gonna do?

00:13:28.000 It's like how do you know if the guy's gonna kill you or not?

00:13:30.000 Like it's unreasonable to point a gun at a person in that scenario.

00:13:34.000 But you know what that speaks to?

00:13:36.000 What? 0.98

00:13:36.000 Edu-fucking-cation. 0.98

00:13:38.000 Education. 0.99

00:13:38.000 Dude, like, I... In my videos, I say this time and time and time and time again. 0.99

00:13:44.000 We have over 400 million guns in this country, man.

00:13:47.000 You're not getting away from the guns.

00:13:49.000 You're not.

00:13:50.000 And if you take them away from legal...

00:13:52.000 People that have them legally...

00:13:53.000 The only people that are going to have them are the people that have them illegally.

00:13:55.000 Exactly.

00:13:56.000 And so, if we understand that this is the country that we live in, we have a Second Amendment, we understand the culture in this country, why would we not spend...

00:14:04.000 Just even a decent amount of resources on a federal level, let's say local level, to teach people the dynamics involved with firearm ownership.

00:14:12.000 Let me ask you this.

00:14:14.000 One of the things about people that are pro-Second Amendment is they don't want to change any of the restrictions.

00:14:21.000 The way it's set up right now, they want to keep it exactly the way it is in terms of what kind of background checks exist.

00:14:27.000 They don't want to add any sort of additional checks, any sort of additional restrictions.

00:14:35.000 Why is it so easy to get a gun license?

00:14:38.000 Because efficiency.

00:14:39.000 But why is it so hard to get a driver's license? 0.94

00:14:42.000 Because people suck at driving. 0.98

00:14:44.000 But don't people suck at shooting? 0.99

00:14:46.000 Some do. 0.99

00:14:46.000 A lot of people do. 0.99

00:14:47.000 A lot of people do.

00:14:48.000 The difference though too is we're talking about a constitutional right versus a privilege.

00:14:52.000 When I got a concealed carry permit, I had to go through an extensive examination, which also involved showing that you are proficient at shooting.

00:15:02.000 Why don't people have to do that?

00:15:04.000 Well, because we are talking about a constitutional right.

00:15:06.000 So the standard is a lot different than say, okay, we're giving you the privilege to drive this car on the road.

00:15:11.000 So like with a car, I can own any car I want.

00:15:15.000 If I have private property, I can drive all over that private property without any education, without any instruction, or any of that stuff.

00:15:20.000 Now, the moment I want to step out into the public with this car and drive it on public roads, that's when I have to get license, get registration, and all of those things.

00:15:28.000 Okay, I see what you're saying.

00:15:29.000 So if someone wants to have a gun and they want to take it somewhere, then they have to go through these examinations.

00:15:36.000 Generally speaking.

00:15:37.000 But not here.

00:15:38.000 That used to be the case in Texas. 0.96

00:15:39.000 Now, no.

00:15:40.000 Now we have constitutional carry, which means that you don't have to go through those procedures in order to carry a firearm.

00:15:45.000 So here's the story.

00:15:46.000 Uber also released a statement.

00:15:48.000 Unfortunately, we aren't able to comment on pending litigation.

00:15:51.000 This is about the guy who's an Uber driver.

00:15:53.000 As we've released in the past, this incident is not related to the Uber platform.

00:15:58.000 It says, For now, this gentleman Perry remains indicted on multiple charges, including murder in this case.

00:16:04.000 In August, his attempt to get the murder charge dropped was denied.

00:16:09.000 From what I understand, this has to do with the district attorney in Austin.

00:16:16.000 We have a lot of very liberal district attorneys in this country.

00:16:20.000 They just repealed the guy in San Francisco to screams and cheers of people who are dealing with unprecedented crime and homelessness there.

00:16:29.000 Don't get me started in San Francisco, bro.

00:16:31.000 Well, you're the one who told me about it.

00:16:32.000 You're the one who explained to me the whole homeless situation.

00:16:35.000 We've talked about it multiple times and credited you with explaining it.

00:16:39.000 Since you're a lawyer and you understand the inner workings of the machine in a way that I probably don't...

00:16:47.000 I'll be honest with you.

00:16:48.000 You know what got me to understand it?

00:16:49.000 It wasn't me being a lawyer. 0.99

00:16:50.000 It was me being on the ground and seeing this shit and talking to the people. 0.99

00:16:53.000 That's what really set it off for me. 0.99

00:16:55.000 Because when I was with the NRA and we were doing these mini documentaries, going to these different places and talking to the people on the ground, they were explaining stuff to me.

00:17:04.000 You can watch the video.

00:17:04.000 You see it in my face.

00:17:05.000 I'm like, the same way you reacted is the same way I reacted when I first heard it.

00:17:09.000 I thought it was a funding thing.

00:17:10.000 I thought, like, we need more money for homelessness.

00:17:13.000 And then when I realized that it's a business, it's like a light bulb went off.

00:17:16.000 When you explained it to me, I was like, of course!

00:17:19.000 It's like everything else. 0.98

00:17:20.000 When you showed me the numbers and the people in LA making $260,000 a year to deal with the homeless situation and it's not going anywhere, I'm like, that person has a fucking great job.

00:17:32.000 You know, I actually analogized that to the issue with gun violence in the inner city.

00:17:37.000 How so?

00:17:38.000 So it's a theory.

00:17:41.000 Do I have concrete data to affirm it?

00:17:43.000 Nope.

00:17:43.000 But I think to a degree A lot of these leaders and politicians in the inner city need that violence in the inner city to continue as a way to justify the necessity for them being in the positions that they're in.

00:17:55.000 Like what kind of position?

00:17:56.000 So if you think about it, the vast majority of the gun violence in this country is from the inner city.

00:18:03.000 Like overwhelmingly so.

00:18:05.000 The numbers are crazy.

00:18:06.000 Like when people talk about gun violence in this country, maybe we should start with that, right?

00:18:10.000 Gun violence in this country, when you look at gun deaths, a gigantic percentage of them are suicides.

00:18:16.000 Yeah.

00:18:16.000 I would say about 63% to 65% are suicides.

00:18:20.000 Okay, so when we're talking about gun violence, I mean, I am not, clearly I'm not in favor of suicide.

00:18:26.000 You know, obviously I want people to get help and live happy lives.

00:18:30.000 But this is not my main concern.

00:18:34.000 My main concern is people harming other people.

00:18:36.000 So when we look at the numbers of gun violence, it's always exaggerated because they don't include the fact that that is a large number.

00:18:44.000 They're starting to do it now.

00:18:46.000 They didn't before.

00:18:48.000 I don't hear about it on Fox News.

00:18:49.000 Yeah, like, they legit, I remember, because this was like at the genesis kind of of my two-way advocacy, when I was looking at the numbers, because I kind of initially just took the numbers for what they were.

00:19:01.000 And I just assumed, because you hear gun violence, you see, you hear gun deaths.

00:19:05.000 You're thinking people shooting at other people in the middle of the street and dropping dead, right?

00:19:09.000 And then I started looking into the numbers and I started to realize, wait, 63 to 65% are suicides?

00:19:14.000 And like I pointed out, it's not that I don't care about suicides, but then I also backdoored and I said, okay, well, let's look at the suicide rate just as a whole in America versus other places that have strict gun laws.

00:19:25.000 And I remember when I was on Bill Maher and I was sitting at the round table, we kind of started getting into that discussion.

00:19:30.000 And you would think, considering we have as many guns as we have in this country in the hands of civilians, you'd think that On the surface, we'd lead the world in suicides.

00:19:42.000 We don't.

00:19:43.000 We're not even close.

00:19:44.000 So that stands to reason that the issue with suicides isn't a gun thing.

00:19:49.000 It is purely a mental health thing.

00:19:51.000 Yes.

00:19:52.000 Right?

00:19:52.000 So that's why I'm able to, okay, let's set this aside and now deal with what's remaining.

00:19:57.000 Then you have a very small percentage that are accidental gun deaths, right?

00:20:02.000 We're talking about like maybe totality in a year, a thousand.

00:20:06.000 And what percentage is that about?

00:20:08.000 I think it's like, if I remember correctly, it's like three to five percent.

00:20:11.000 Okay.

00:20:11.000 Or something like that.

00:20:12.000 So we're almost at 70% then.

00:20:15.000 Yeah.

00:20:15.000 We're at like 68?

00:20:16.000 And that's including, and then there's another percentage that includes Officer shootings, whether it's officer shooting a criminal or a criminal killing an officer, right?

00:20:26.000 So we can put that here over here as well because that's a different dynamic.

00:20:29.000 What percentage are officers shooting?

00:20:32.000 That's sitting somewhere in about also 2-3%.

00:20:34.000 I'm probably flipping it.

00:20:36.000 I don't know if the accidental gun deaths are about 2-3 and the officers are like 5, if I'm not mistaken.

00:20:41.000 We could find out.

00:20:43.000 Jamie will pull it up so we could get an accurate assessment of it.

00:20:46.000 But to get to where we want to go is essentially homicides with firearms.

00:20:51.000 That's where we want to be.

00:20:52.000 And generally speaking, you've got a range of about 8,000 to 12,000 people every year die from actually being shot by another person.

00:21:01.000 That includes mass shootings, everything.

00:21:03.000 Right.

00:21:03.000 And then what percentage of those are gang-related?

00:21:07.000 So...

00:21:09.000 Because the whole gang-related, because now what's happening is they're taking a lot of the gang-related shootings and including them in mass shootings.

00:21:16.000 It's just kind of like what happened in Philadelphia recently, right?

00:21:19.000 Oh, I see what you're saying.

00:21:20.000 They called the Philadelphia shooting, it just happened recently, a mass shooting.

00:21:23.000 What was the Philadelphia one?

00:21:24.000 It was basically, there was a shootout between, I don't know how many people it was, but there was like, I can't remember exactly where in Philly it was, but essentially, I can't remember, a lot of people got shot, and they called it a mass shooting.

00:21:38.000 It was street violence.

00:21:39.000 That's what it was.

00:21:40.000 It was two parties going at it, and they called it mass shooting.

00:21:46.000 I guess you could argue why that's considered a mass shooting, but it's not.

00:21:51.000 But in our minds, when we think about it, a mass shooting is somebody—you have an individual or multiple people who want to go and kill as many innocent people as possible, right?

00:21:59.000 We're not talking about people who are shooting each other over disputes.

00:22:03.000 This was a dispute that took place in the public.

00:22:06.000 Between two people with guns, essentially.

00:22:09.000 And so they want to call that a mass shooting.

00:22:11.000 And I'm like, that's not fair.

00:22:13.000 Because the way they deal with these types of things, they're different.

00:22:17.000 The same way you don't include the suicides and the homicides.

00:22:20.000 Because there are different reasons for why they're happening.

00:22:23.000 And so a lot of the vast majority of the gun violence, the homicide aspect of it, is from the inner cities.

00:22:31.000 That's where it's coming from.

00:22:32.000 It's these kids, literally, when I say kids, I'm talking like...

00:22:36.000 17, 18, 19, 20, 21-year-olds.

00:22:39.000 They're shooting at each other.

00:22:41.000 Now, I'm not dismissing that and saying that it's irrelevant and that we shouldn't factor that in.

00:22:47.000 What I'm saying is it's a totally different reason for why it's happening.

00:22:50.000 It's not a gun issue.

00:22:51.000 It's a socioeconomic issue.

00:22:52.000 Because if you take those same kids that look like me, right?

00:22:56.000 I know a lot of black people, people of color, who live in the suburbs of America.

00:23:01.000 And they're not running around committing drive-bys in their BMWs.

00:23:05.000 They're not.

00:23:05.000 So what's the difference there?

00:23:06.000 They have access to guns the same way these kids have access to guns.

00:23:09.000 And these kids have access to guns illegally in the inner city.

00:23:12.000 The difference is it's prolonged exposure to poverty.

00:23:15.000 But nobody wants to have that conversation.

00:23:17.000 The reason they don't want to have that conversation is because it is admittedly hard to deal with.

00:23:20.000 It's hard.

00:23:21.000 It's convoluted and it's difficult.

00:23:23.000 So is that the vast majority?

00:23:25.000 So outside of suicide, is that the majority of the shootings?

00:23:30.000 Yes.

00:23:30.000 So the majority of the shootings are...

00:23:32.000 Are inner-city gang, drug, and dispute violence.

00:23:35.000 That's what it is.

00:23:36.000 Okay.

00:23:36.000 The vast majority of it.

00:23:37.000 And that is one thing that we both agree on in terms of that's one of the most gigantic and ignored problems in this country is exposure to poverty and violence your whole life.

00:23:52.000 And that these environments like the inner city, like South Side of Chicago, which have never changed.

00:23:58.000 Never.

00:23:58.000 They haven't.

00:23:59.000 They've gotten only worse.

00:24:00.000 I was in Chicago a few years back.

00:24:03.000 We were doing a gig and there was a cop who was driving us around.

00:24:06.000 And he was explaining what, you know, we're like, dude, what is going on?

00:24:10.000 Because it was like right after a big one, right after a big weekend.

00:24:13.000 And he goes, this is what happened.

00:24:15.000 They got very aggressive with arresting these drug lords.

00:24:19.000 And when they did that, they created a power vacuum.

00:24:21.000 And then these other guys stepped in to try to fill the power vacuum.

00:24:24.000 And a lot of them, these young bucks.

00:24:26.000 They started clicking up.

00:24:27.000 Yep.

00:24:27.000 And so now, I mean, these kids are literally blocks away from each other.

00:24:30.000 Yeah.

00:24:31.000 Shooting at each other.

00:24:32.000 And...

00:24:33.000 And so from that perspective, I mean, I saw it when I did my little mini-docu-series in Southside Chicago.

00:24:37.000 How much of an effort has been put...

00:24:40.000 Like, there's almost no coverage of that.

00:24:43.000 No.

00:24:43.000 Like, in Chicago, a couple of weekends ago, I don't remember what the number was, but it was something preposterous, the amount of people that got shot.

00:24:50.000 Well, because it's...

00:24:51.000 I think what it is, it's self-contained in many people's minds.

00:24:55.000 It's kind of like...

00:24:55.000 That's why people are so engrossed with mass shootings.

00:24:59.000 Because...

00:25:00.000 With inner city violence, it happens in the inner city.

00:25:02.000 Right.

00:25:03.000 And if you don't live in the inner city, it doesn't affect you, so to speak.

00:25:06.000 So it's easier to kind of just kind of push it off and not really pay attention to it.

00:25:11.000 However, with mass shootings, it starts spilling over into your reality.

00:25:14.000 And it's terrifying.

00:25:31.000 I mean, overnight, they shut it down.

00:25:35.000 Easily.

00:25:36.000 But in the inner cities?

00:25:38.000 Nah.

00:25:39.000 They kind of just let it flourish.

00:25:41.000 And as far as creating the vacuum that it created, you could make the argument, well, they tried to do something about it then, and it just ended up getting worse, right?

00:25:50.000 You have these things that you do, and sometimes it has an effect that you didn't intend to have.

00:25:55.000 But the problem is that we always approach it from a singular focus.

00:25:59.000 It's either ban all the guns or just arrest everybody on the streets.

00:26:03.000 We never want to have that in-depth conversation about, You got to think about what type of environment you're living in where you come up as a child.

00:26:12.000 When I say child, I mean you're 16, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and you so easily can pick up a gun and just take another person's life that looks just like you. 0.55

00:26:21.000 And you get a reputation for doing that.

00:26:23.000 Exactly.

00:26:24.000 And you don't get arrested.

00:26:25.000 And you don't.

00:26:25.000 Well, do you know about the story about the shootout where they released everybody because they said that it was mutual combat?

00:26:33.000 No.

00:26:33.000 You don't know that?

00:26:34.000 No.

00:26:34.000 Oh, you need to know about this.

00:26:35.000 This is Chicago.

00:26:37.000 Wait, when?

00:26:37.000 A few years ago.

00:26:39.000 No, not even a few years ago.

00:26:40.000 I think it was one year ago.

00:26:41.000 This is a wild story because two people died.

00:26:44.000 I think two, maybe three.

00:26:46.000 Multiple people shot.

00:26:47.000 Shootout. 0.97

00:26:48.000 On video, by the way.

00:26:49.000 People were filming it from their cars. 0.98

00:26:51.000 How the fuck did I miss this? 1.00

00:26:52.000 Dude, it's the craziest shit. 1.00

00:26:53.000 That Lori Lightfoot and her administration, boy, they should be examined for future. 1.00

00:26:59.000 Like, look, look, look who became the mayor of Chicago.

00:27:02.000 This is crazy! 1.00

00:27:03.000 When she wears that fucking superhero costume, that lady is out of her fucking mind. 1.00

00:27:08.000 And also when she banned protests on her street, remember that? 1.00

00:27:13.000 She banned protests on her street.

00:27:14.000 I have to keep myself safe.

00:27:15.000 What about everybody else?

00:27:16.000 But that's just it.

00:27:17.000 That's just it.

00:27:18.000 That's just it.

00:27:19.000 That's just it.

00:27:19.000 That's it right there.

00:27:20.000 Some people get charged, it looks like.

00:27:22.000 But way later and not for...

00:27:23.000 Well, probably after everybody talked about it.

00:27:25.000 Yeah, correct.

00:27:26.000 It says after the drama, there was charges announced.

00:27:28.000 Oh, after mutual combat drama, Fox and Lightfoot announced charges in West Side Shootout.

00:27:33.000 Okay.

00:27:34.000 This is because they dropped the charges initially.

00:27:37.000 Okay, so it was over a year ago.

00:27:39.000 So, following the drama between Cook County State Attorney Kim Fox and Mayor Lightfoot last year over a lack of charges in a deadly shootout on the West Side, a man was arrested Thursday in connection.

00:27:51.000 Thomas Dean, 20, 19 at the time of the shooting, I guess, was charged Thursday with three counts of aggravated, unlawful use of a weapon.

00:27:59.000 That's not...

00:28:02.000 Even that!

00:28:04.000 Aggravated.

00:28:04.000 I was aggravated.

00:28:06.000 Back in October 1, a brazen shootout happened the middle of the day during a quiet afternoon in North Austin.

00:28:13.000 That's a suburb of Chicago.

00:28:15.000 North Austin, Chicago.

00:28:30.000 I thought more than one person was killed.

00:28:32.000 Following the shooting, CPD said the Cook County State Attorney's Office refused to pursue charges citing mutual combat.

00:28:41.000 Imagine that.

00:28:42.000 On the street.

00:28:43.000 I mean, this isn't even, like, in the woods.

00:28:46.000 Mayor Lightfoot then...

00:28:48.000 I mean, I'm saying, like, if you know that...

00:28:50.000 Well, if it was in the woods, no one can get hit by strays. 0.99

00:28:55.000 This is a fucking crowded street. 1.00

00:28:56.000 They're just firing rounds. 1.00

00:28:58.000 The evidence included DNA matched to a gun Dean allegedly used during the shootout.

00:29:01.000 Why?

00:29:01.000 You should have wiped your gun, bro.

00:29:03.000 Fox said more charges may be brought in the future. 0.99

00:29:06.000 Whoa, you're fucking threatening more charges? 0.98

00:29:10.000 I might say someone else was aggravated. 0.99

00:29:14.000 Dean is due in court on Friday.

00:29:16.000 Well, you know, I don't have a lot of faith in this because the way it's going today, and I don't understand what happened in terms of The way DA's just sort of release people that are accused of violent assaults, it's bananas.

00:29:28.000 They just get them out of jail.

00:29:30.000 Like, in Los Angeles, it's off the charts.

00:29:34.000 Los Angeles is what? 0.98

00:29:35.000 That video that you sent me of you, like, talking to the, uh, or you playing that interview of the gang member saying he's getting the fuck out of LA? He's like, it's too hot for me. 0.97

00:29:47.000 A fucking gang member is like, LA's too crazy. 1.00

00:29:51.000 Dude, I'm telling you, man. 1.00

00:29:52.000 I think, yeah, it was Whack 100. Yes, because he was talking about how the people are getting out.

00:29:57.000 That they're going to release another 70,000 people early who were violent criminals because they don't have any room in the jails or the DA just seems to think it's a good idea.

00:30:07.000 That's another thing, too, that people are not factoring in.

00:30:11.000 After COVID, the bottom fell out.

00:30:14.000 That's what people aren't talking about.

00:30:15.000 Like, when you had all these shutdowns and people couldn't work and basically shut down the economy, I mean, you got to understand what that does to a lot of people who are already sitting on the bottom.

00:30:27.000 Yeah.

00:30:28.000 So when the bottom falls out, what do you think is going to happen?

00:30:31.000 Right.

00:30:31.000 You know, people who are already in dire straits are now in desperate straits, and they're doing anything.

00:30:35.000 Right.

00:30:35.000 I'm not justifying the action by any stretch of the imagination.

00:30:38.000 I'm just saying, don't be surprised.

00:30:39.000 They don't think there's repercussions anymore.

00:30:41.000 Yeah.

00:30:41.000 And that's another thing, too.

00:30:42.000 That's a big thing.

00:30:43.000 Yeah.

00:30:44.000 And that's...

00:30:47.000 It amazes me how people don't understand this.

00:30:50.000 And I think what it is, is a lot of people just like to live in their own little bubbles and don't like to address things until that thing breaks into their bubble.

00:30:59.000 And when it does, it's like, please, government, do something!

00:31:01.000 Make it stop right now! 1.00

00:31:03.000 And it's like, it's too late.

00:31:05.000 It's already there. 0.99

00:31:06.000 And the government you thought you were going to be able to depend on, yeah, you could depend on them when shit ain't happening. 0.94

00:31:12.000 When shit starts happening in mass, it's not even always the fact that they don't want to do anything or they just choose not to do it. 0.95

00:31:20.000 They can't. 0.98

00:31:21.000 They can't address not enough people. 0.99

00:31:24.000 So at that point, they realize, shit, I'm on my own. 0.97

00:31:28.000 And you should have realized that in the middle of the whole situation because when pretty much the world was shut down, you were on your own. 0.98

00:31:36.000 When we were having protests and riots every other day, it seemed like, and another city was burning every other day, and cops were like, yeah, there's not much we can do.

00:31:45.000 You're kind of on your own.

00:31:47.000 That should have sunk right then and there and let you know that the only person responsible for your safety is you.

00:31:54.000 The cops, the government, that's supplemental.

00:31:57.000 You're not supposed to rely on it.

00:31:59.000 You can't rely on it, even if you want to.

00:32:01.000 The amount of time that it takes them just to respond.

00:32:03.000 It's just, it's not happening.

00:32:05.000 Right.

00:32:05.000 If someone's breaking into your house, if someone's on your property, the amount of time that it would take for a police officer to get to you, even if they do choose to respond quickly.

00:32:15.000 Still not fast enough.

00:32:17.000 Not fast enough.

00:32:18.000 The popular saying, when seconds count, help is only a minute away.

00:32:22.000 Yeah.

00:32:22.000 And that's the whole basis, at least from me.

00:32:26.000 I'm speaking from me.

00:32:27.000 And I know there are a lot of people on the gun side of things that will agree with me.

00:32:31.000 On the gun side of things.

00:32:32.000 Yes, on the gun side of things.

00:32:34.000 Which will agree with me is that...

00:32:37.000 I have to be self-reliant when it comes to the protection of me, my family, and people that I love.

00:32:41.000 And that's why I want these firearms.

00:32:43.000 You know, we talk about, and then others talk about banning AR-15s and so forth and so on.

00:32:47.000 And I'm like, no, I want an AR-15 because it is, to me, the best tool to defend myself with.

00:32:53.000 And I don't want the struggle for my life to be a fair fight.

00:32:57.000 I want it to be lopsided in my favor as best as I can.

00:33:01.000 And the AR does the best job, at least for me.

00:33:04.000 I can speak to my—now, you start getting into the weeds of it.

00:33:07.000 You know, some gun guys will say, oh, no, well, this thing's better.

00:33:09.000 You get some old guys like, oh, you need a shotgun, like Joe Biden.

00:33:12.000 All you need is a double barrel.

00:33:15.000 Double barrel. 0.99

00:33:16.000 Shoot one in the air. 1.00

00:33:18.000 Yeah, you're gonna land on your neighbor while he's out mowing the lawn, you fucking idiot. 1.00

00:33:22.000 And then he'll backdoor and get up on camera and say, well, the 9mm will blow a lung out. 1.00

00:33:27.000 I'm like, have you seen the gunshot wounds of a double barrel shotgun? 0.99

00:33:31.000 Yeah, what the fuck was that about? 0.98

00:33:32.000 But we're talking about a literal challenged person. 0.99

00:33:36.000 Yeah. 0.57

00:33:37.000 You know, a person who's got mental issues. 0.96

00:33:39.000 No one's telling the emperor that he has no clothes. 0.97

00:33:41.000 It's so crazy.

00:33:42.000 It's so crazy.

00:33:43.000 But that outside of it.

00:33:45.000 So there's a bunch of issues, right?

00:33:48.000 But the big one is mental health.

00:33:52.000 Because this is what accounts for the suicides.

00:33:55.000 This is what accounts for this person that is willing to go and kill a bunch of innocent people.

00:34:01.000 You know, I remember the Aurora shooting, the guy went to the movie theater.

00:34:06.000 They showed a photo of the guy after they arrested him.

00:34:09.000 I'm like, Jesus Christ, I would have arrested him if I saw him at Starbucks.

00:34:14.000 You know, remember his face?

00:34:16.000 I mean, the guy was clearly ill.

00:34:18.000 I think, too, so I read an article, and I've always had this mindset.

00:34:24.000 One of my first viral videos was How to Stop a Mass Shooting.

00:34:27.000 Literally.

00:34:28.000 And in the video, I was like, stop the fantasy.

00:34:32.000 And by stop the fantasy, I mean, have people in place to shut down his ability to kill as many people as possible.

00:34:38.000 Because at the end of the day, a lot of these people really are doing it for the clout.

00:34:45.000 They really are.

00:34:47.000 They're doing it so that they can recognize.

00:34:49.000 Exactly.

00:34:50.000 And so, because, I mean, think about it.

00:34:52.000 The MO is always the same.

00:34:54.000 Right?

00:34:54.000 Vast majority of them.

00:34:55.000 And I read an article, and it even kind of blew me away a little bit, that there was a study that found, like, if the media changed the way that they handled reporting these mass shootings, we could reduce mass shootings by 33%.

00:35:08.000 Really?

00:35:10.000 Yeah, because a lot of these mass shootings are copycat.

00:35:11.000 But let me ask you this.

00:35:13.000 You have to record—I mean, there has to be some reporting of a mass shooting.

00:35:18.000 Yes.

00:35:19.000 And so what it's saying was, focus on the people who were killed.

00:35:23.000 Focus on what happened, but we go into a deep-sea dive about these people's lives.

00:35:28.000 Like, in the video I did, I did it like five, seven years ago, and I talked about it.

00:35:32.000 I was like, no one can name the vast majority of victims in a lot of these shootings, but you can name all of the shooters.

00:35:39.000 You can name them.

00:35:39.000 You know what they look like.

00:35:40.000 We just talked about it.

00:35:41.000 He's like, you know, he showed them in the face.

00:35:42.000 I was like, oof.

00:35:43.000 Rest in them at Starbucks.

00:35:44.000 Like, we know too much about them, and that's exactly what they want.

00:35:48.000 Take the guy in New York.

00:35:50.000 He now gets to sit back.

00:35:52.000 Yeah, he's in jail, but he gets to sit back and watch his work. 1.00

00:35:55.000 He's a lunatic. 0.98

00:35:56.000 We did a whole manifesto about why he did what he did. 1.00

00:36:00.000 Now he gets to sit back and watch it.

00:36:02.000 Right.

00:36:02.000 And he gets clout in prison, probably.

00:36:04.000 Exactly.

00:36:05.000 And I even said that, you know?

00:36:07.000 And I think there's something to be said about that.

00:36:09.000 Now, I'm not going to go so far as to say the government should tell the media they can't report on mass shootings.

00:36:14.000 Not what I'm saying.

00:36:15.000 But I do think there's something to be said about how we sensationalize these shooters.

00:36:22.000 And you know how I know for a fact?

00:36:23.000 Because when Columbine happened, I was still in high school.

00:36:26.000 And I remember when Columbine happened, I did a deep-sea dive into studying both of those dudes.

00:36:32.000 Because it was truly fascinating because it never crossed my mind that somebody would do something like that.

00:36:37.000 So I'm trying to get a better understanding about why someone would do that.

00:36:41.000 And so it was easy as hell for me to get all the information in the world.

00:36:44.000 It was plastered all over the news.

00:36:46.000 Now, that was...

00:36:49.000 We're good to go.

00:37:08.000 These dudes are walking around the school. 0.96

00:37:09.000 They're just blasting at people and walking, just killing people in the library. 0.86

00:37:13.000 It was nuts.

00:37:14.000 So there's a lot of things that have to happen.

00:37:17.000 One, we have to figure out what happens to a person.

00:37:23.000 How far gone do they have to be where they can do something like that?

00:37:26.000 And is there a way to stop that?

00:37:28.000 And I think that's a conversation we need to have.

00:37:31.000 What could be done, though?

00:37:32.000 Have you ever seen a rational sort of plan for stopping anybody before they get to that point?

00:37:41.000 I mean, one of the things that I've heard people talk about is that the FBI was aware of this guy.

00:37:47.000 But what do you do?

00:37:49.000 Exactly.

00:37:49.000 Let me tell you a story.

00:37:51.000 I'm trying to be as vague about this as possible because I don't want to get anybody in trouble.

00:37:55.000 But there was a kid at a school that...

00:38:01.000 Someone that I know is connected to and this kid took a photo and sent it to his friends of him holding a rifle saying something about gonna go to school on my way to school now something to that extent and That photo got to one of the parents and Funny.

00:38:30.000 Funny.

00:38:34.000 Funny.

00:38:43.000 Either funny or he was being wild and he thought his friends would... 1.00

00:38:49.000 He was being a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:38:51.000 He was being an 11-year-old who has access to a rifle. 1.00

00:38:54.000 And they moved in on him and they ascertained that he wasn't a threat.

00:39:03.000 When does one decide that someone is a threat?

00:39:07.000 Like this guy had not killed anybody until he killed his grandmother and then killed all those kids.

00:39:11.000 So how do you know when a person's about to pop?

00:39:15.000 Do you monitor them?

00:39:16.000 And how many kids are you monitoring?

00:39:18.000 How many kids are bullied to the point where they're suicidal or homicidal?

00:39:22.000 How many people are like that out there?

00:39:24.000 I think that's the natural restriction of our reality, right?

00:39:26.000 It's because we do have these things in place as far as rights are concerned.

00:39:31.000 But it's like, so at what point?

00:39:32.000 And it's a high standard to remove those rights from somebody, especially when they haven't done anything.

00:39:36.000 Right.

00:39:37.000 So that's the question that I think our brainpower should be focused on trying to accomplish while understanding it's no different than a criminal, though, right? 1.00

00:39:49.000 See, a criminal becomes a criminal once he does some criminal shit. 0.99

00:39:54.000 Right. 0.99

00:40:08.000 How do we go about hardening our schools?

00:40:09.000 They had no problem hardening the capital with $1.9 billion after what happened on January 6th.

00:40:15.000 Right.

00:40:15.000 Right?

00:40:16.000 So they understand on a fundamental level that they- They spent $1.9 billion?

00:40:20.000 From what I read in the article.

00:40:20.000 I would like to see an accounting of all that money.

00:40:23.000 Just saying.

00:40:24.000 Because I think that's a little high.

00:40:26.000 If I was the guy running the capital, I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:40:29.000 What?

00:40:30.000 Yeah.

00:40:30.000 What are you doing?

00:40:31.000 How much money?

00:40:33.000 But again, what we're talking about is we're talking about people in positions of leadership who feel that their lives are more important than ours.

00:40:43.000 It's just—I'm not going to say it's just natural, but that tends to happen.

00:40:47.000 You start to kind of develop the sense of superiority when you're in positions of power, and you're like, well, I need the protection because I'm a person of importance.

00:40:56.000 Well, what about everyone else?

00:40:57.000 Because a lot of these people are wanting these gun control laws and removing these guns because they don't want the common people to have them because they see them as a threat to them.

00:41:06.000 Yeah.

00:41:07.000 That was one of the arguments about this money that's going to Ukraine, where people were like, how are you sending $40 billion to Ukraine and you're not spending any money protecting schools?

00:41:17.000 Like imagine, first of all, before we even get into protection, how about advancing education?

00:41:23.000 $40 billion would go a long way to improving schools.

00:41:27.000 $40 billion would go a long way to providing security in schools.

00:41:31.000 You know, I mean, did you hear about how he got in?

00:41:35.000 No.

00:41:35.000 So, and I'm not laughing because it's funny, but it was just astounding to me.

00:41:39.000 So essentially what happened is he went through a back door that was unlocked.

00:41:43.000 And then he literally went...

00:41:45.000 So they had plans in place to deal with potential mass shooters like this.

00:41:49.000 At least on paper.

00:41:51.000 The protocols that were supposed to be adhered to.

00:41:53.000 At the school.

00:41:54.000 Yeah.

00:41:55.000 And he went door to door.

00:41:57.000 He went to several different class doors.

00:41:58.000 They were locked.

00:41:59.000 He couldn't get in.

00:42:00.000 And then there was one door that was ajar.

00:42:03.000 And...

00:42:04.000 From what I read, by the time the teacher realized what was going on and she tried to go to the door to lock it, he grabbed the door and opened it.

00:42:12.000 And he was able to get in that way.

00:42:14.000 And so my, and I've always said this, I'm like, okay, we understand that we don't want these things to happen in our schools.

00:42:23.000 So what's the first thing you do?

00:42:26.000 If somebody broke into your neighbor's house, say tomorrow, the first thing you're probably going to think of is, all right, how do I harden my house to make sure this doesn't happen to me?

00:42:34.000 That's going to be your first thought.

00:42:36.000 Why would we not do that with our children and the places that they go to school?

00:42:39.000 And I know people are like, we don't make it seem like they're living in a prison.

00:42:41.000 You can have passive defenses where optically it doesn't look like a prison.

00:42:47.000 You can have reinforced doors that don't look like prison gates.

00:42:50.000 You can do these things.

00:42:52.000 But we don't.

00:42:53.000 And to me, those are the easier things to implement before we even start talking about banning this gun, banning that gun, which will do nothing to stop these things.

00:43:01.000 Because when we talk about school shootings, the worst one we ever had was Virginia Tech.

00:43:05.000 He killed 33 people with handguns.

00:43:09.000 So from that perspective, we understand that there are going to be people who are going to try to do this.

00:43:13.000 Whether they use AR-15s, whether they use handguns, shotguns, it doesn't matter.

00:43:18.000 The goal?

00:43:19.000 Protect our kids.

00:43:20.000 Right?

00:43:21.000 When Obama was in office and his kids were in school, you think this kid would aim to get in there and do what he did?

00:43:28.000 I do not believe that would be the case.

00:43:32.000 He wouldn't be.

00:43:33.000 Why?

00:43:34.000 Because that school where those kids are going to, it's going to be hardened.

00:43:38.000 Right.

00:43:38.000 It's going to be.

00:43:39.000 If Joe Biden had younger kids now and they were in school, that kid would not be able to get into that school.

00:43:46.000 Right.

00:43:47.000 He wouldn't because that school would be hardened.

00:43:49.000 So...

00:43:52.000 There's so many schools.

00:43:53.000 There are.

00:43:54.000 Right. 0.84

00:43:54.000 And there's so many guns, and there's so many people, and there's so many potential crazy people. 0.84

00:43:58.000 Yes.

00:43:58.000 It's like, how much money would it cost to harden all of these schools?

00:44:04.000 You're dealing with a lot of money.

00:44:05.000 So I think there's a school, I forgot the name of the school, I forgot where it was, where they have a whole system in place.

00:44:14.000 It's crazy.

00:44:14.000 I put it in my Evernote because I was going to go and do video on it, so I hadn't researched it thoroughly.

00:44:21.000 And I think they said it was somewhere in the area of $400,000 for the entire system, but the system scales.

00:44:28.000 So this is public?

00:44:29.000 I don't remember if it was public.

00:44:31.000 Public, private, or all?

00:44:33.000 What do you mean?

00:44:34.000 For...

00:44:34.000 Schools?

00:44:35.000 Amount of schools?

00:44:36.000 Well, no.

00:44:36.000 This particular system at this school.

00:44:38.000 Oh.

00:44:38.000 This particular school.

00:44:39.000 Yeah.

00:44:40.000 So they had a whole system designed for school shooters.

00:44:42.000 Oh, I see what you're saying.

00:44:44.000 So you're saying that $400,000 was spent...

00:44:46.000 For the system.

00:44:47.000 For this particular system, yeah.

00:44:48.000 And it scales, right?

00:44:49.000 So you can have one aspect of it and make it cheaper and so forth and so on.

00:44:53.000 And I forgot.

00:44:54.000 I didn't do the numbers.

00:44:55.000 Jamie, are you able to pull how many schools we have total?

00:44:58.000 That's what I was curious about.

00:45:00.000 I... Are there any charges that are being brought up against the cops that didn't go in?

00:45:08.000 Not that I'm aware of.

00:45:12.000 How do you keep a job?

00:45:14.000 How do you...

00:45:16.000 Schools and districts.

00:45:18.000 How many schools in the U.S.? There are about 130,930 public and private K-12 schools in the United States according to 2017-2018 data.

00:45:29.000 So expensive.

00:45:30.000 Yeah.

00:45:31.000 Super expensive.

00:45:32.000 Well, yeah, but again, $40 billion goes to Ukraine like that in the middle of an academic downslide.

00:45:41.000 Yeah.

00:45:42.000 So, I mean, but again, these same people are always telling us, well, how much is a kid's life worth?

00:45:47.000 Right.

00:45:47.000 Right?

00:45:48.000 So, there should be absolutely some measure of protection that stops this from being, stops it from being available to someone that someone could just get into the school.

00:46:00.000 Yes.

00:46:01.000 I mean, I think that's bare minimum.

00:46:03.000 So the fact this guy got in through a back door, and the only reason why he got into that classroom is because the door was ajar.

00:46:08.000 So protocols have to be implemented.

00:46:11.000 But the problem is people get relaxed after a while.

00:46:14.000 Nothing's happening. 0.98

00:46:15.000 Which is why I get a lot of shit for it, and I think it's crazy that I get shit for it, but I'm in favor of allowing teachers to keep guns at school. 0.99

00:46:25.000 Well, some places are now allowing teachers to have guns, and I watched this video where all these teachers pulled out their pistols, and they had them. 0.99

00:46:34.000 Did you see that?

00:46:35.000 What kind of world are we living in?

00:46:37.000 Listen, I want to live in a world where that's not an option because it's not necessary, right?

00:46:42.000 I think you do, too.

00:46:44.000 But we also have to live in reality.

00:46:46.000 And all of my liberal friends start screaming about gun control.

00:46:52.000 And then I say, then what?

00:46:54.000 Like, what do you mean?

00:46:55.000 Like, when you talk about the amount of guns, we've got to take those guns.

00:46:59.000 Like, okay.

00:47:00.000 It's not realistic.

00:47:01.000 This is not realistic.

00:47:02.000 Not only is it not realistic, it's not smart.

00:47:06.000 Look, I don't want anything like this to ever happen again.

00:47:10.000 We're all on the same page.

00:47:12.000 That's the thing.

00:47:13.000 I think that's the point that's not being put out there.

00:47:16.000 Because I'm tired of hearing how all gun owners are, the blood of the babies, the kids' hands are on all gun owners who don't want any more gun control laws. 0.99

00:47:25.000 That's fucking ridiculous. 0.99

00:47:27.000 Like, we have guns because we want to protect lives. 1.00

00:47:39.000 Did you see what Trudeau said today?

00:47:47.000 What, today? 0.99

00:47:50.000 I'll send it to you, Jamie, because it is fucking wild. 0.99

00:47:54.000 He said you don't have the right in Canada to own a gun to protect your life. 0.98

00:48:02.000 It is one of the most wild things I've ever seen anybody say, because first of all, I don't believe it's true.

00:48:08.000 I don't believe he is correct in terms of, what do they have up there?

00:48:12.000 They don't have a constitution.

00:48:13.000 It's not the same, but whatever it is.

00:48:16.000 I mean, they're still part of England and all of them over there.

00:48:20.000 Well, they're under the rule of the Queen, theoretically, technically speaking. 0.97

00:48:23.000 Fuck, someone sent it to me, and I don't know if I saved it because I was so disgusted. 0.99

00:48:27.000 I think I might have just fucking threw my hands up in the air. 0.98

00:48:30.000 But there's a whole Twitter thread about it that someone had sent to me, and I can't find it at the moment.

00:48:37.000 But essentially what he was saying was that that is not what's in whatever they have on there.

00:48:46.000 That it says you have the right to own a gun for hunting and for shooting sports.

00:48:51.000 You do not have the right to own a gun for self-preservation and to preserve lives.

00:48:57.000 But apparently that's not even true.

00:48:58.000 Even if it was true.

00:49:00.000 You have to think about what type of leader you're under who can open his mouth and say something like that as a justification for doing what he's doing as far as gun control is concerned.

00:49:09.000 It's the son of a guy who was a politician and a leader and a completely removed person from terms of regular society and the problems that other people face.

00:49:18.000 Oh, you mean like Joe Biden?

00:49:19.000 Yeah.

00:49:20.000 Same thing, basically.

00:49:21.000 Same people. 1.00

00:49:22.000 Both corrupt, both full of shit. 1.00

00:49:24.000 And that's a thing that the other side, and when I say the other side, I mean the gun lobby, the anti-gun lobby, has done a good job of, is creating this... 1.00

00:49:35.000 Here it is.

00:49:35.000 Other than using firearms for sports shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives.

00:49:43.000 We need less gun violence.

00:49:45.000 This is about freedom.

00:49:46.000 People should be free to go to the...

00:49:48.000 Okay, but this is not the main thing.

00:49:51.000 The thing that he said that was egregious was he said that they don't have the right to own guns for...

00:49:59.000 Yeah, that's not even it either.

00:50:00.000 There's an actual video of it.

00:50:02.000 An actual this is what this is a little bit further long longer ago when he was talking about They made a ban on the purchase of handguns you know the transfer of handguns the important importing handguns Yeah, so it's funny.

00:50:17.000 So I get a lot of like even my My legal mentor this is literally the guy who taught me how to argue And we go back and forth about this because he sometimes he thinks I'm too extreme on the issue sometimes and And I think the problem is he doesn't understand that the ultimate goal is for them to ban guns.

00:50:35.000 When I say that out loud, they think I'm crazy.

00:50:38.000 And I'm like, I've been doing this long enough to see where this goes.

00:50:42.000 And look at what's happening in Canada right now.

00:50:45.000 You have someone who is literally, they started off by banning AR-15s, so-called assault weapons.

00:50:52.000 And now all of a sudden, now he's talking about people don't have a right to own a handgun.

00:50:58.000 Yeah.

00:50:59.000 If right now in our country, people killed with rifles is about 435 every year.

00:51:06.000 435, close to 500 maybe.

00:51:09.000 More people die from getting beat to death than they do killed with an AR-15.

00:51:14.000 So if the goal is, so people's rationale is, well, these school shooters, and I'm being very specific about school shooters because the vast majority of mass shootings are committed with handguns.

00:51:26.000 Mass shootings.

00:51:27.000 School shootings, it trends on the side of AR-15s.

00:51:30.000 So, let's say we ban the AR-15s. 1.00

00:51:33.000 Then what? 0.99

00:51:34.000 Because people are saying that you guys are being ridiculous. 0.99

00:51:36.000 We just want to get rid of these scary assault military rifles. 0.99

00:51:41.000 And that's it.

00:51:42.000 And I'm like, that's not just it.

00:51:43.000 Because I know where this is going because I understand the data.

00:51:47.000 The vast majority of people that are being killed in mass shootings are committed with handguns.

00:51:51.000 It's only a matter of time before we have another one and we're having this conversation again and now you're telling us we need to ban handguns.

00:51:57.000 And you can't say them crazy because they're doing it right now in Canada.

00:52:01.000 And so that's the problem is people aren't being realistic about this conversation.

00:52:08.000 Yeah.

00:52:09.000 I'm trying to find the video.

00:52:10.000 I'm sorry.

00:52:11.000 See if you can find it, Jamie.

00:52:14.000 People were freaking out reading it or watching it because it was just like, it's such a crazy thing to say that you can't have a gun to protect yourself.

00:52:24.000 It's just that you do not have the right to own a gun to preserve your life.

00:52:29.000 But this is the mentality.

00:52:29.000 This is the mentality that our leaders have, not only in Canada.

00:52:34.000 This is a pervasive thought process in the leaders of our country.

00:52:38.000 And this is further exemplified by the fact of how they reacted to the Heller decision.

00:52:43.000 The Heller decision— What is the Heller?

00:52:45.000 It's the Supreme Court case that said that you have an individual right to own a firearm.

00:52:49.000 And the leaders of our country literally fought back against it.

00:52:52.000 This is literally the Supreme Court case that says you have an individual right to own a firearm.

00:52:57.000 And they were still upset with that ruling.

00:52:59.000 So I should tell you everything you need to know about what they genuinely want to do.

00:53:04.000 But no one wants to acknowledge that reality.

00:53:06.000 They're like, oh, no, no, no.

00:53:07.000 We just want common sense, rational, reasonable, all these other morphous, euphemistic words.

00:53:12.000 And I'm like, that's not the case at all.

00:53:15.000 It's not.

00:53:16.000 They're looking at it from a position of control.

00:53:18.000 You're looking at it from a position of protecting lives, which I agree with you.

00:53:23.000 Let's try to do that.

00:53:24.000 I don't agree with you about how to do it.

00:53:27.000 But I can give you that.

00:53:28.000 At least I know you're coming from a position of, I just want to save lives.

00:53:32.000 I don't really know how to do it.

00:53:33.000 I think getting rid of guns might do it or banning certain guns might do it.

00:53:36.000 I can respect that.

00:53:38.000 But when it comes to our leaders and the people that are pushing this the most, and my biggest frustration, people are always like, oh, cool, you're so political.

00:53:44.000 You're so super anti-leftly.

00:53:47.000 No.

00:53:48.000 It just is what it is.

00:53:49.000 The vast majority of gun control comes from the left.

00:53:53.000 The vast majority.

00:53:54.000 The vast majority.

00:53:55.000 Why do you think that is?

00:53:58.000 Because, you mean from the leadership standpoint or from the people?

00:54:01.000 All the above.

00:54:02.000 I mean, even my left-wing friends, the ones that I know well, that just whenever a mass shooting happens, that I look on their Twitter feed, and it's always like, gun control now!

00:54:13.000 I put up a tweet not too long ago that kind of got people's panties in a bunch, but I said, half of this country wants to be ruled over.

00:54:23.000 The other half of this country just wants to be left alone.

00:54:26.000 The problem is the people who want to be ruled over want everyone to be ruled over.

00:54:32.000 And I by and large think that For a lot of people on the left, and I'm not saying everybody because I know a lot of liberal gun owners, right, who are adamant about protecting the Second Amendment, but a vast majority of them really do overly rely on the government as far as keeping them safe and giving them everything that they need.

00:54:49.000 And when you do that, your default is always going to be depend on the government.

00:54:53.000 The government inherently...

00:54:56.000 From the standpoint of wanting – utilizing the government to fix all the issues in the country, you get that from the left side of the leadership aisle because they want to gain – they want the government to gain as much power as possible in order to gain control over the people.

00:55:11.000 Whereas when you look on the other side of the aisle – Yeah, that's it.

00:55:14.000 Yeah, I just found it too.

00:55:15.000 Here it is.

00:55:16.000 Oh, there we go.

00:55:16.000 Okay, play this because this is – We have a culture where the difference is guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in Canada, and there are lots of gun owners and they're mostly law-respecting and law-abiding,

00:55:33.000 but you can't use a gun for self-protection in Canada.

00:55:37.000 That's not a right that you have in the Constitution or anywhere else.

00:55:40.000 If you try and buy a gun and say it's for self-protection, no, you don't get that.

00:55:43.000 You get it for hunting.

00:55:44.000 You can get it for sports shooting.

00:55:46.000 You can take it to the range.

00:55:47.000 No problem, as long as you go through our rigorous background checks.

00:55:50.000 But there's a difference around the culture.

00:55:52.000 And one of the things that we're seeing with the debate in the States is you get more and more of the American-style right-to-carry self-defense arguments filtering up through the usual more right-wing communications channel.

00:56:06.000 Now, scroll down this thread, because in this thread, it's exposed that that's not the case in terms of their laws.

00:56:15.000 Someone pulls up the actual laws, if you keep going.

00:56:21.000 Let's see what it says here.

00:56:22.000 There it is.

00:56:23.000 Okay.

00:56:25.000 Subsection 12, 6.1, approve the transfer individual.

00:56:29.000 Individual needs a restricted firearm or gun.

00:56:31.000 Okay, here it goes.

00:56:32.000 December 1, 1998, handguns.

00:56:34.000 Only if the chief firearms instructor is satisfied.

00:56:37.000 A, that the individual needs the restricted firearm or handgun.

00:56:42.000 I, to protect the life of that individual or of other individuals.

00:56:49.000 An II, for use in connection with his or her lawful profession or occupation of.

00:56:55.000 Or, B, that the purpose for which the individual wishes to acquire the restricted firearm or handgun is I, for the use of target practice, target competition.

00:57:07.000 Okay, so A, if you look at A, to protect the life of that individual or other individuals.

00:57:14.000 So this is written in, go back to the top of this please.

00:57:19.000 So, subsection 12, 6.1, in December 1st, 1998, handguns, only if the chief firearms officer is satisfied.

00:57:30.000 So this is, it says under this gentleman, Mr. Romali, posts this on Twitter, our prime minister doesn't even know the law.

00:57:39.000 Canadian Firearms Act, section 28 AI. So it is...

00:57:45.000 It is in their law, which is fucking crazy for a guy to say that. 0.98

00:57:50.000 I'm going to play devil's advocate. 0.98

00:57:54.000 I think that is more geared towards elitism.

00:57:57.000 And here's what I'm getting at.

00:57:58.000 In New York, you can get a concealed carry license.

00:58:02.000 It's hard.

00:58:03.000 Why is it hard?

00:58:04.000 Who are they giving it to? 0.99

00:58:05.000 Well, they gave it to a friend of mine who's out of his fucking mind. 0.99

00:58:08.000 So if you're famous... 0.99

00:58:11.000 But he's famous, yeah.

00:58:11.000 Or donating to police, you know, police chiefs...

00:58:15.000 When I say out of his fucking mind, I just say it in jest, mostly. 1.00

00:58:19.000 Gotcha. 0.99

00:58:19.000 He's a great guy. 0.99

00:58:20.000 But he's a firearms enthusiast, and he's also famous, and it took a long ass time for him to get a concealed carry.

00:58:27.000 They are handing them out more often now in Los Angeles.

00:58:30.000 In Los Angeles now, yes.

00:58:31.000 Because of that sheriff.

00:58:31.000 I like that sheriff.

00:58:33.000 But...

00:58:34.000 If you really think about it, that reads just like the New York law in terms of being able to carry a firearm for protection.

00:58:41.000 Yeah, technically, you can.

00:58:43.000 But he's saying own.

00:58:45.000 We're not talking about a license to carry.

00:58:47.000 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:58:48.000 See, they don't have a Second Amendment. 1.00

00:58:51.000 So the way that read to me, and listening to Trudeau, and then reading that, It's kind of like—so when it comes to concealed carry license, you have may issue and shall issue states, right?

00:59:04.000 May issue is if you can justify to the sheriff that you need this gun because of your business or your celebrity, somebody who needs to protect their life, right, then you can get a concealed carry license.

00:59:18.000 But to a regular common person— That's not enough.

00:59:23.000 There has to be an extenuating circumstance, which usually falls on the idea of I'm famous, so I need to protect myself, or I have a jewelry business and I move a lot of cash and therefore I need a gun to protect myself.

00:59:36.000 That takes it even further.

00:59:38.000 And it says, okay, technically, yes, you can own a gun if you can justify to the officer that you have an extenuating circumstance that you need to own that gun to protect your life.

00:59:49.000 And so on its face, I can read it two ways.

00:59:54.000 Yeah, you can justify it to the officer, but to the regular common person, if you're famous, you're a celebrity, or you have a certain business, then sure, they'll give it to you.

01:00:02.000 However, if I'm just a regular person, good luck actually using that to justify it.

01:00:06.000 Because they're going to say, you just being a regular person doesn't justify you needing it to protect your life.

01:00:09.000 And that's what he's saying.

01:00:11.000 Regular people don't need firearms to protect their lives.

01:00:16.000 It's special people like him and celebrities and every other elitist who may need these firearms to protect themselves.

01:00:23.000 But regular people, they don't need firearms.

01:00:25.000 But it doesn't say that.

01:00:27.000 It doesn't say that.

01:00:28.000 But it just says to protect your life.

01:00:30.000 That's how they're executing it.

01:00:31.000 That's why he's able to say with a straight face what he's saying.

01:00:33.000 But he's not even saying it that there's an option if you need to protect your life.

01:00:38.000 Because he doesn't believe there is one.

01:00:40.000 Because I think he would rather have the population unarmed.

01:00:43.000 And I think this particularly rings true after the demonstrations that were, the trucker demonstrations, when he demonized all the truckers as being racist and misogynist.

01:00:55.000 Like, just an open, generalizing statement.

01:00:57.000 As a leader, you should be discredited, like, instantaneously. 1.00

01:01:00.000 Like, you're not a fucking leader. 0.99

01:01:02.000 Like, for you to make a generalization on hundreds, if not thousands of people that you don't even know, That is so wild and that you're going to use that to state your point that you don't want these people to be able to protest, which is crazy because it's a giant part of what a civilized democratic society is allowed to do. 0.99

01:01:22.000 But yet here we are in America trying to do what they're doing.

01:01:25.000 Yes.

01:01:25.000 That's the thing that baffles me.

01:01:27.000 Well, I think there's some people that want to do what they're doing.

01:01:30.000 Yeah, of course.

01:01:31.000 But there's a giant percentage of our population that's not having it.

01:01:34.000 Yeah.

01:01:35.000 A huge percentage.

01:01:36.000 A huge.

01:01:37.000 And more so that they don't know about.

01:01:40.000 There are so many people that I know that got red-pilled over this...

01:01:46.000 Listen, you know, I've had this conversation before.

01:01:48.000 I'm gonna say it again.

01:01:49.000 I am a liberal.

01:01:50.000 I am a liberal person.

01:01:51.000 I am very left-wing on almost all issues.

01:01:55.000 Except gun control.

01:01:57.000 When it comes to the Second Amendment, that's one of the ones where I'm very right-wing.

01:02:02.000 But I've been very right-wing on that for a long time.

01:02:04.000 Because I know violent people.

01:02:07.000 I've experienced violence.

01:02:08.000 I understand crime.

01:02:10.000 I just know reality and human beings.

01:02:13.000 And I don't like the idea of being unarmed.

01:02:16.000 I don't.

01:02:17.000 I don't agree that it's the safest way, and I don't buy into this nonsense that if you live a good life and you're a good person, it's not going to come to you.

01:02:26.000 That's crazy.

01:02:27.000 That's not how the world works.

01:02:29.000 For Christ's sakes, we just had...

01:02:31.000 Children.

01:02:32.000 Exactly.

01:02:33.000 Exactly.

01:02:34.000 Exactly.

01:02:34.000 The most innocent of people on the planet.

01:02:36.000 Exactly.

01:02:37.000 And so this...

01:02:38.000 So this is one of those issues where I have friends that they have this ideological wall, and this wall, they hit the wall, where there's nothing, no reasonable answer other than take away all the guns.

01:02:53.000 Well, also, part of it too is, and a good friend of mine once said this, and I was like, yeah, you're right.

01:02:58.000 The problem is that a lot of those people only see themselves as possible victims of gun violence, never the defender against it.

01:03:04.000 And when you can only see yourself as the victim, You have to rely on someone else to protect you, which is why the immediate response is, government, take them away.

01:03:14.000 Make all those guns go away.

01:03:16.000 It's also why the stories where someone does protect people from a mass shooter, like the story that came out just a few days after.

01:03:23.000 Got no press.

01:03:25.000 None.

01:03:25.000 I mean, I saw a little bit of it on some right-wing websites, but for the most part, it was ignored by the mainstream media, particularly by the left-wing media.

01:03:34.000 I didn't see a fucking peep out of it. 0.95

01:03:36.000 And the ones that did? 0.99

01:03:36.000 It was just a small article written up. 0.99

01:03:39.000 Somewhere like 5,000 links down on that page.

01:03:42.000 Exactly.

01:03:42.000 Toss it away.

01:03:42.000 But I'm telling you, a lot of my friends that were hardcore lefties got red-pilled over the pandemic when they saw cop cars being lit on fire and houses being broken into.

01:03:55.000 And when friends got their homes broken into and they called the cops and the cops wouldn't do a damn thing about it. 0.99

01:04:00.000 They were like, holy shit. 0.99

01:04:02.000 I had so many people call me up asking me how to get a gun. 0.99

01:04:05.000 Can I borrow one of their guns?

01:04:07.000 Could they borrow one of my guns, rather?

01:04:09.000 And you're like, nope, can't.

01:04:10.000 I'm like, that's not how it works, buddy.

01:04:11.000 If you move to Texas, I can give you one, which is pretty wild.

01:04:14.000 And so getting to that, that's the whole background check thing.

01:04:18.000 Yeah.

01:04:18.000 That's that whole thing where – and that's another thing that people don't realize is the way they talk about it, the way the anti-gun lobby talks about background checks, they talk about it as if we don't have background checks in this country.

01:04:27.000 Right.

01:04:28.000 We do.

01:04:28.000 You buy a gun from a dealer, you have to get a background check.

01:04:31.000 Right, but that 18-year-old kid passed a background check, which is crazy.

01:04:35.000 Because there's no criminal history.

01:04:37.000 Right, because he's only 18. Exactly.

01:04:39.000 Now, the question then remains.

01:04:41.000 So I hear talks about, okay, well, let's include the juvenile records.

01:04:45.000 But if a juvenile record doesn't have an offense that's equatable to a felony that prohibits him from owning a firearm, he still would get it.

01:04:51.000 Did this kid have a juvenile record?

01:04:53.000 I don't know.

01:04:54.000 I don't know.

01:04:55.000 I don't think he had anything legally.

01:04:57.000 He's had some weird acts on his part in the past.

01:05:00.000 Wasn't his nickname School Shooter?

01:05:03.000 I didn't hear that.

01:05:04.000 Was it?

01:05:05.000 I don't know if it's true, but someone told me that his nickname in high school was School Shooter.

01:05:10.000 But so then the question remains, it goes, so what do we do?

01:05:13.000 Find out if that's true.

01:05:15.000 So how do we do it?

01:05:16.000 So we know this.

01:05:17.000 This kid's nickname is School Shooter.

01:05:19.000 And so for all intents and purposes, we want to keep guns out of this kid's hands.

01:05:22.000 However, the problem is, is once he turns 18, he's adult.

01:05:25.000 Whether he's 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23...

01:05:28.000 Once he reaches the age where he's legally, constitutionally able to buy a firearm, he has it.

01:05:33.000 The only thing that can preclude him from doing it is if he commits a felony or he's committed because of some mental health issue.

01:05:39.000 So he hasn't done anything.

01:05:42.000 We don't live in the age of minority report where we can arrest people before they actually commit crimes. 0.96

01:05:47.000 So we have to understand constitutional rights have to have a certain bit.

01:05:52.000 They're either rights or they're not.

01:05:55.000 Texas gunman was nicknamed the Yubo school shooter on a messaging app.

01:06:01.000 Yeah, so he really was.

01:06:03.000 So look at, he also used to wear wacky clothes.

01:06:06.000 He was an interesting kid.

01:06:09.000 What is Yubo?

01:06:11.000 Is that another social media app?

01:06:13.000 Should I get on it?

01:06:15.000 I mean, I jump on every social media app.

01:06:19.000 Are you on all of them?

01:06:20.000 Yes, it's the only way to get the word out as much as possible because I'm always dealing with either being shadow banned on this platform for a period of time and being shadow banned on that platform.

01:06:28.000 Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that.

01:06:30.000 How shadow banned are you?

01:06:32.000 You know what's weird?

01:06:33.000 It ebbs and flows.

01:06:33.000 It's really odd.

01:06:35.000 I think I'm worse shadowbanned on Facebook and Instagram.

01:06:39.000 Yeah, Instagram is...

01:06:40.000 They've hit the brakes on me, baby.

01:06:41.000 Dude.

01:06:43.000 I don't even do anything!

01:06:44.000 Which is what's crazy.

01:06:45.000 And what's crazy is the only way I'm able to beat it It's because people share my content so much.

01:06:51.000 That's the only thing the algorithm can't fight back against, is sharing content.

01:06:55.000 So the fact that I've been able to grow my audience the way that I have, could you imagine if I wasn't Shadowban?

01:07:00.000 Right, exactly.

01:07:01.000 Well, this is what I was going to bring up.

01:07:03.000 I wanted to look at what it is now.

01:07:05.000 Okay, yeah.

01:07:06.000 I'm now at 9.1 million on Twitter.

01:07:10.000 I was at 8.2 when Elon started talking about buying it.

01:07:14.000 Dude, mine has shot up too on Twitter.

01:07:17.000 So they must have removed some of the algorithms that were in place to restrict people.

01:07:22.000 It's the only explanation.

01:07:23.000 It's the only explanation.

01:07:25.000 I've heard of a few people that I know personally, and I got a few messages of someone saying alternative thought is that people who were not on the platform liked that Elon bought it and joined.

01:07:36.000 900,000 just for me?

01:07:37.000 It's not that many.

01:07:38.000 It's not that many.

01:07:39.000 Can't be.

01:07:40.000 You're suggested to a lot of people, once they follow one person, follow these five or ten other people.

01:07:45.000 I know, but it's so quick, Jamie, and it immediately happened right after Elon did it.

01:07:49.000 I feel like it might be bots, too.

01:07:51.000 I've had it confirmed.

01:07:54.000 From people on the inside.

01:07:57.000 They've literally found that I was placed in a particular group of people that was designed to basically shadow ban me.

01:08:06.000 And then as soon as that person was able to remove me out of there, Floodgates open.

01:08:11.000 And then somebody else gets—because people forget, these are individuals who are running these things.

01:08:16.000 You know, it's not—Zuckerberg isn't sitting behind the computer himself saying, we're going to shadowban Joe, we're going to shadowban Coleon Noir.

01:08:24.000 No, these are just individuals with all types of different ideologies, right?

01:08:29.000 There are people at Facebook who are exceedingly pro-gun.

01:08:32.000 And then there are people who are exceedingly anti-gun.

01:08:34.000 There's not a lot of them. 1.00

01:08:35.000 They gotta keep their fucking mouth shut. 1.00

01:08:37.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:08:38.000 And so that's what's happening. 1.00

01:08:39.000 So you get these individuals who are inherently anti and they come across your page and they're like, fuck that guy. 0.97

01:08:44.000 Well, we wouldn't really have proof of any of this if it wasn't for Project Veritas. 0.99

01:08:48.000 Truth be told.

01:08:49.000 Project Veritas.

01:08:50.000 And, you know, I know a lot of people don't like the way they do business, but that is the only way to get that kind of information.

01:08:57.000 Dudes be talking too much on their dates.

01:08:59.000 That's what's hilarious.

01:09:00.000 It's kind of a brilliant move. 0.98

01:09:02.000 You get these single guys, you put tits in front of them, you get a hot lady in front of them, or a hot guy. 1.00

01:09:08.000 God forbid they start drinking, too. 0.99

01:09:09.000 They start running.

01:09:10.000 Yeah, some of them must be hot guys, because a few of those fellas...

01:09:13.000 Oh, yeah, because they're...

01:09:14.000 A few of those fellas, yeah. 1.00

01:09:16.000 I mean, I don't want to be prejudiced, but I think they might...

01:09:19.000 They're a little zesty.

01:09:20.000 They might have rainbow underwear.

01:09:24.000 There's a thing that they do, though, where they get these people comfortable, and then they somehow or another get them talking about their business, and they start talking about how they're essentially communists, about how they ban all these right-wing people or shadow ban them,

01:09:40.000 where they limit the reach of their tweets.

01:09:42.000 And these are people making a decision.

01:09:44.000 It's not like it's coming from the top down.

01:09:46.000 These people are making those decisions unilaterally on their own.

01:09:50.000 And so that's the problem.

01:09:52.000 And so I've dealt with it countless occasions.

01:09:55.000 The only reason why my account one day, it's like, floodgates open, I'm getting 100 follows almost every hour, versus...

01:10:04.000 What the hell?

01:10:04.000 How am I losing followers at this point?

01:10:06.000 So it's interesting how that works.

01:10:07.000 But the losing thing, I always assume that they must be cleaning up bots, but I'm a little...

01:10:11.000 I'm not sure about that anymore.

01:10:14.000 Sorry to cut you off.

01:10:15.000 I have thousands of people that follow me and unfollow me every single day that my number stays the exact same.

01:10:20.000 Oh, yeah.

01:10:20.000 Well, that's normal.

01:10:21.000 That's normal because people just unfollow you and follow you.

01:10:24.000 But I'm talking about like big numbers.

01:10:26.000 And I'm also talking about, you know, you could say that people decided because Elon was going to buy the platform that this is...

01:10:33.000 Not in mass like that.

01:10:34.000 Right.

01:10:34.000 And also, it's disproportionately affecting people on the right.

01:10:38.000 It really is.

01:10:39.000 Even though I'm not on the right.

01:10:40.000 But I get lumped in that.

01:10:42.000 I get lumped in that because I'm a cage fighting commentator and a hunter and all that other stuff.

01:10:47.000 The problem though too is...

01:10:48.000 People who lean more left were losing a ton of followers also.

01:10:52.000 Well, people, and this is what I was going to say, people who lean more left lost followers when Elon started talking about buying it.

01:10:58.000 But to the extent that they were losing them?

01:11:02.000 Right.

01:11:02.000 I mean, they were losing them in droves.

01:11:04.000 Not that many people jumped off Twitter simply because...

01:11:07.000 Elon was talking about buying it, even though they lean left.

01:11:09.000 Are we sure, though?

01:11:09.000 Because Vox had an article on how to bail.

01:11:14.000 There's a lot of people that decided, which is really wild, because if you go back to 2015, Elon was the left-wing superhero. 0.99

01:11:23.000 People are so goddamn fickle. 0.99

01:11:25.000 Fickle, man. 1.00

01:11:26.000 They're so crazy. 0.98

01:11:27.000 Fickle. 0.88

01:11:27.000 All of a sudden, they're deciding that he's some... 0.88

01:11:29.000 And now he said he's voting Republican.

01:11:32.000 They came for him. 1.00

01:11:33.000 You got massaged and tried to get jerked off! 1.00

01:11:36.000 It's just wild. 0.99

01:11:37.000 I actually tweeted him because he made a statement.

01:11:39.000 Somebody asked him about AR-15s.

01:11:42.000 What did he say?

01:11:43.000 He stated something.

01:11:44.000 He's like, I think that there should be an extensive evaluation for people who own AR-15s or mental health evaluation and so forth and so on.

01:11:52.000 And so what I said to him when I was like, here's the problem with that.

01:11:56.000 One, it's a constitutional right.

01:11:58.000 And two, understand who's going to be in charge of making those decisions.

01:12:02.000 That's the problem.

01:12:02.000 Right now, you are trying to protect the first on a platform, and they're trying to destroy you for it.

01:12:07.000 So imagine what they would try to do to somebody like me, who is a Second Amendment advocate, and I say, I want to be able to own a certain gun, and I have to go through these extensive evaluations.

01:12:17.000 It's no different than the law we just saw in Canada, where the officer has to approve that it's for life-saving purposes.

01:12:25.000 Well, the problem with saying that people are trying to destroy him is that there's a thing that happens whenever there's conflict, whenever there's any kind of conflict.

01:12:33.000 And when you have a guy who is one of the richest men, if not the richest man on earth, and he does anything, there's going to be people mad.

01:12:41.000 Which is true.

01:12:42.000 They're going to be angry.

01:12:43.000 And when you're dealing at scale with, like, what are the numbers of people that are on Twitter?

01:12:47.000 Let's take a guess.

01:12:48.000 Let's take a guess.

01:12:49.000 What do you think the number of people on Twitter is?

01:12:51.000 How many people are, like, active on Twitter?

01:12:54.000 Active?

01:12:54.000 Active.

01:12:55.000 That are not bots.

01:12:57.000 I mean, we don't really know what that is.

01:12:59.000 He thinks the bots might be really high.

01:13:03.000 Because they said 5%.

01:13:03.000 He thinks it might be 40%.

01:13:05.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:13:06.000 Really?

01:13:07.000 I think so.

01:13:08.000 Sometimes I go into, like, I don't post much on Twitter because it's so toxic.

01:13:13.000 But examine it.

01:13:15.000 I examine it sometimes for just, not my own post, but other people's posts, just to see what discourse is like.

01:13:21.000 Like that post about Trudeau.

01:13:23.000 Yeah.

01:13:23.000 And I go into it and then I see some posts.

01:13:26.000 I'm like, what is this person saying?

01:13:27.000 Click on their profile.

01:13:29.000 Zero followers.

01:13:30.000 And it's all like weird, random political stuff.

01:13:33.000 And I'm like, oh, this is not a real human.

01:13:34.000 I don't know if you get it in your comment section.

01:13:36.000 Because usually I see your post and I'll either like or just go comment and be out.

01:13:40.000 But are you getting a lot of bots in your Instagram comments?

01:13:43.000 Dude, do I get bots?

01:13:46.000 I will post something within seconds.

01:13:49.000 Okay, let's do it right now.

01:13:50.000 We'll do it live.

01:13:51.000 Because we'll do it live where no one will know that we're doing it.

01:13:55.000 So look at me.

01:13:56.000 I'm going to do it with you.

01:13:58.000 Smile.

01:13:59.000 Bam! 0.98

01:14:00.000 Okay, perfect.

01:14:02.000 There's you.

01:14:03.000 I'm gonna immortalize you.

01:14:08.000 I'm like, I don't care.

01:14:09.000 I don't know.

01:14:10.000 Will you put it through a filter? 1.00

01:14:11.000 Damn, you look jacked in this picture. 0.99

01:14:12.000 Alright, so I'm gonna post this on Instagram. 0.99

01:14:18.000 Well, Instagram is the real one for bots.

01:14:21.000 That's where I get the bots.

01:14:25.000 Okay.

01:14:27.000 Fun times talking gun control.

01:14:30.000 Times talking gun control with my friend.

01:14:41.000 There we go.

01:14:42.000 Bam.

01:14:43.000 Okay, so right now I'm gonna put it up there right this very second ready set go share and now I'm gonna look and we're gonna check it out bam okay no comments yet so now they don't follow me for me what Oh,

01:15:08.000 I already have seven comments.

01:15:09.000 They're all bots.

01:15:10.000 That's fucking nuts. 1.00

01:15:11.000 But it's way more now. 1.00

01:15:13.000 Look at it.

01:15:13.000 Look at this.

01:15:13.000 Look at all the comments.

01:15:14.000 These are all bots.

01:15:16.000 Look at it.

01:15:16.000 Just look at that.

01:15:17.000 Why does everyone always judge me after seeing my stories?

01:15:20.000 But look at the language, too.

01:15:22.000 Why does everyone always judge me after seeing my stories? 1.00

01:15:25.000 That bitch is Russian. 1.00

01:15:26.000 That's a man. 1.00

01:15:49.000 What is BBL? Brazilian butt lifts? 0.95

01:15:52.000 Brazilian butt lifts, yeah. 1.00

01:15:53.000 That makes me sad that people are getting operations.

01:15:56.000 I was telling you that I... Look at this.

01:15:59.000 Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

01:16:01.000 Why everyone?

01:16:01.000 It's all bots.

01:16:02.000 I mean, you did post me, so the wow, wow, wow, wow, wow kind of makes sense with the hard eyes.

01:16:06.000 Look at your art.

01:16:06.000 You look jacked, dude.

01:16:07.000 Look at those guns, son.

01:16:08.000 I've been in the gym, bro.

01:16:09.000 Look at the guns.

01:16:10.000 What's your...

01:16:11.000 Look at Faforite style.

01:16:14.000 Jesus Christ, how bad is the English of these bots?

01:16:17.000 There's no greater joy...

01:16:18.000 What does that say?

01:16:19.000 Financial freedom.

01:16:20.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:21.000 Bot, bot, bot.

01:16:22.000 Is he still simping for the NRA? That's a real person.

01:16:25.000 That's a real person.

01:16:26.000 That's a real person. 1.00

01:16:27.000 That's a guy with a little dick, I bet. 0.99

01:16:30.000 Thanks for coming to my rescue when I needed someone to help me out. 1.00

01:16:33.000 Yeah.

01:16:34.000 Quickest draw in the West.

01:16:35.000 Oh, that's you.

01:16:36.000 That's real.

01:16:37.000 I'll take that, too.

01:16:39.000 My mother said I'm too pretty to be ignored.

01:16:40.000 Is that true?

01:16:41.000 This is within 48 seconds!

01:16:44.000 Joy of the heart.

01:16:45.000 Just received my profile.

01:16:46.000 I can now clear up all my debt and start my own business.

01:16:50.000 I'm paying five grand to seven people.

01:16:53.000 Ivanka admitted there was no voter fraud.

01:16:55.000 What is that?

01:16:57.000 Is that real?

01:16:58.000 I don't know.

01:16:59.000 Yeah, that's more fake too.

01:17:01.000 It's all bots.

01:17:02.000 It's literally 99% bots.

01:17:05.000 And if you go, none of them are following you.

01:17:07.000 No?

01:17:08.000 No.

01:17:08.000 So how did they get it?

01:17:09.000 Because I'm like, what's going on?

01:17:11.000 So I was like, man, let me go see if they're following me.

01:17:12.000 They're not following me.

01:17:13.000 Okay, let me check on this right now.

01:17:14.000 Check this one.

01:17:15.000 Not following me.

01:17:16.000 22 plus.

01:17:18.000 Model.

01:17:18.000 She's 20. She's 22. I think she likes you, dude.

01:17:22.000 I think she likes me, too.

01:17:23.000 Jesus.

01:17:24.000 Is that even a human?

01:17:26.000 You don't even know.

01:17:26.000 It could be artificial generated, you know?

01:17:29.000 They're generating people now.

01:17:31.000 Generate that, son.

01:17:34.000 It's kind of crazy, but here's my question.

01:17:37.000 What are they getting out of that?

01:17:38.000 I don't know.

01:17:39.000 I mean, people fall for it, though.

01:17:41.000 But what do they do?

01:17:42.000 Do they click on the profile?

01:17:43.000 Let's click on the profile.

01:17:46.000 Right, but if they get a hit, what do they get? 0.99

01:17:50.000 You can fall into a trap to give someone gift cards and that bullshit. 0.98

01:17:52.000 Okay, let's go on one of them. 0.99

01:17:54.000 I'm not.

01:17:55.000 No?

01:17:56.000 Well, I can't.

01:17:57.000 I can't compromise my account.

01:17:59.000 So it happens on YouTube, too.

01:18:02.000 So what they'll do is they'll take a thumbnail of me, and then they'll comment in all my videos, and then tell them, call this number, and they're thinking it's me.

01:18:11.000 Call this number and you've won this free prize or something like that.

01:18:14.000 And so I got to get on there.

01:18:16.000 I'm like, I make videos.

01:18:17.000 I'm like, look, that's not me.

01:18:19.000 Stop doing that.

01:18:19.000 And then they'll like send information or in some cases send money.

01:18:23.000 I got it really bad at one point on Facebook.

01:18:27.000 Facebook's done a better job of nipping that in the bud where literally people were getting scammed out of money thinking it was me.

01:18:33.000 And then I'm like, no, that's not me.

01:18:35.000 And then people getting mad at me, like, where the hell's my stuff?

01:18:39.000 And I'm like, yo, what are you talking about? 0.98

01:18:41.000 Yeah, I've given up on trying to stop all the fucking fake me's. 0.99

01:18:44.000 There's the weird industry that has emerged of scamming people online. 0.97

01:18:51.000 And it's really kind of fascinating.

01:18:54.000 When you're saying it's a numbers game, I wonder how many people...

01:18:57.000 As you're saying that online, I go, didn't they just used to do it by the mail before?

01:19:02.000 Yeah, it just transcended online.

01:19:05.000 But I think it's way more lucrative now, right?

01:19:07.000 Because you have access to such an enormous amount of people in a short period of time versus like Jamie was saying with mail.

01:19:13.000 You know, it just takes a lot longer.

01:19:14.000 Why not bring in another viewpoint, someone says. 1.00

01:19:17.000 Shut up. 0.98

01:19:18.000 This is one of the rare times where I read comments. 1.00

01:19:22.000 I want to go to one of these bots.

01:19:25.000 Okay, I'm going to go to this bot.

01:19:26.000 So it says, oh, this is different.

01:19:29.000 This is a cartoon maker.

01:19:31.000 See, I think there's a lot of those that are fake, too.

01:19:33.000 I've seen a lot of those that are basically the same thing.

01:19:36.000 They say, I make cartoons, I make an image of you.

01:19:38.000 For instance.

01:19:39.000 Oh, that's a real dude.

01:19:40.000 No, it's not.

01:19:42.000 What they'll also do is then...

01:19:44.000 How do you know it's not a real guy?

01:19:45.000 Eh, it's not.

01:19:46.000 What a lot of them will do, they'll get access to someone's account on Facebook, take all of their data, use their pictures to then create a fake account that looks like a real person, talks like a real person, knows things about that.

01:19:57.000 The ones that don't even let you follow them are fascinating.

01:20:02.000 You have to follow them in order to...

01:20:04.000 Oh, in order to see, yeah.

01:20:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:06.000 Oh, this account is private.

01:20:08.000 Like, look, that looks like a real girl, right? 0.91

01:20:10.000 This is another one that's private.

01:20:11.000 Her original account was deleted at 60k.

01:20:12.000 She's real. 1.00

01:20:13.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

01:20:14.000 That's a real girl. 1.00

01:20:15.000 Stop.

01:20:15.000 She's my friend.

01:20:17.000 Don't be an asshole. 1.00

01:20:20.000 Can you imagine being a sad, sad dude? 1.00

01:20:21.000 And then they'll say something like, deleted at 60k to justify why their followers are sold out.

01:20:25.000 Yeah, but there's a 12-year-old, 14-year-old, 15-year-old that hasn't been online that long that doesn't know these games and they'll fall for it one night.

01:20:32.000 Okay, I want to click on this link, but I don't.

01:20:34.000 It says adults only, hottie, adult performer, musician.

01:20:38.000 You might not want to click on it.

01:20:39.000 I do, though.

01:20:40.000 I don't, but I do.

01:20:41.000 Like, I want to know what the scam is.

01:20:43.000 Let me click on that one.

01:20:45.000 It's going to take to another more link, though, I bet.

01:20:47.000 Do you have some sort of a block? 0.99

01:20:49.000 Oh, my God, that's her butt for real? 1.00

01:20:52.000 This is a real girl, Jamie. 0.99

01:20:53.000 You should apologize to her.

01:20:55.000 That's a real girl.

01:20:56.000 That might be a boy. 0.80

01:20:57.000 By the way, today, they do a great job on those fake butts that they put on biological males. 0.93

01:21:05.000 So if you click on things, do you have some protection?

01:21:10.000 On this one, no.

01:21:11.000 That's why I'm not clicking on that.

01:21:11.000 Yeah, don't, don't, don't.

01:21:14.000 That's the game.

01:21:15.000 So they get you to click on that, and then it's like an OnlyFans type deal?

01:21:20.000 Or is it something else?

01:21:21.000 At the end of the day, it could be getting a track, like the way trackers you set up on your computer, they get a keylogger on there, they find your information, or they're just trying to trick you into putting it in somewhere.

01:21:28.000 Or trying to trick you into an OnlyFans account, like if you sign up for an OnlyFans account. 0.98

01:21:33.000 Even if you're a sucker, and you go, oh, this is bullshit, and you pay. 0.99

01:21:36.000 Well, I think in those cases, those girls are kind of real. 1.00

01:21:39.000 Some of them.

01:21:40.000 Yeah, because what they want to do is get, you know, they actually want people to sign up for their OnlyFans, right?

01:21:45.000 And you have to have the content there to actually keep them there.

01:21:48.000 But don't they steal content from someone else's OnlyFans?

01:21:50.000 They also pay for people to engage.

01:21:52.000 I don't know if you know about that.

01:21:53.000 I do.

01:21:54.000 I heard about that.

01:21:55.000 I was watching an interview where this- What happened?

01:21:58.000 These girls hire men to write to other men with their photos. 1.00

01:22:03.000 So, like, they'll have a manager, and the manager will handle, like, all these different women. 1.00

01:22:08.000 And then they sign up for OnlyFans, and they give them a piece of it.

01:22:11.000 They're like, look, I'll take, you know, X percent.

01:22:13.000 You take the rest.

01:22:13.000 Well, I'll write all these things.

01:22:14.000 And we'll hire people that engage with these guys all day long.

01:22:18.000 And they're thinking they're engaging.

01:22:19.000 Yeah.

01:22:20.000 And so they think they're having, like, a text buddy relationship with these girls.

01:22:24.000 And they're sending them heart face emojis and clasping hands and the whole deal.

01:22:28.000 And they think they're in love.

01:22:30.000 And that OnlyFans stuff is interesting, man. 1.00

01:22:33.000 That's some nutty shit to me. 0.98

01:22:34.000 It's wild because there's so many sad guys out there, man. 1.00

01:22:37.000 There's so many sad, sad, sad dudes that, like, that alone is, like, to be able to interact with a woman like that.

01:22:45.000 Well, I mean, I think it's just the reality of the dating market now.

01:22:50.000 How so?

01:22:51.000 Social media.

01:22:52.000 It's different.

01:22:52.000 Like, girls have access to men they otherwise never had access to before.

01:22:56.000 So you're getting this cluster effect of they're only going to go after the guys they absolutely want.

01:23:00.000 Where before, you had it where you only dealt with the people in your environment.

01:23:04.000 Right, at a club or wherever you went.

01:23:06.000 Exactly.

01:23:07.000 Yeah, you had to meet people in real life.

01:23:09.000 Because before it's like, say for instance, let's say Michael B. Jordan, right?

01:23:13.000 If a girl was really into Michael B. Jordan, before the only way she could possibly get his attention is to what?

01:23:18.000 Maybe...

01:23:19.000 Happen to run into him somewhere. 0.99

01:23:20.000 And she'd have to be a full psycho. 1.00

01:23:23.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:23:24.000 Full psycho to leave the house.

01:23:25.000 So Sagar posted this yesterday where people met online, couples.

01:23:28.000 I don't know how long they were dating in this case, but as of 2020, it's like the most people meet online.

01:23:33.000 Yeah.

01:23:34.000 According to every other person. 0.91

01:23:35.000 Well, how the fuck was anybody meeting online in 1940? 0.96

01:23:39.000 Well... 0.98

01:23:39.000 Compare that to me. 0.98

01:23:43.000 Okay, so met online.

01:23:44.000 So in the olden days, back in the day, they met through friends, right?

01:23:48.000 Is that what it's saying?

01:23:49.000 Yeah, like that was the most popular.

01:23:50.000 Most people met through friends or they met in a bar or restaurant or, yeah.

01:23:54.000 And now most people meet online.

01:23:56.000 Wow, look at the numbers.

01:23:58.000 It is a rocket ship towards meeting online.

01:24:02.000 Family set it up.

01:24:03.000 That was before 1940. That was the highest.

01:24:05.000 It's like we arrange marriages or, you know, I've got a niece or a son.

01:24:08.000 Exactly.

01:24:09.000 Yeah.

01:24:09.000 Look at all the people that used to meet through church or they meet as co-workers.

01:24:14.000 Co-workers, a lot of fucking going on in that office. 0.99

01:24:17.000 Work husbands, work wives. 1.00

01:24:20.000 Once people started getting in trouble for that, look at the drop in people meeting as co-workers.

01:24:26.000 Isn't that wild?

01:24:27.000 The 2010 to 2020, look at that.

01:24:31.000 2010 to 2020 drop-off.

01:24:33.000 It's a crazy drop-off.

01:24:35.000 Too risky.

01:24:37.000 Yeah, wild. 1.00

01:24:38.000 I don't shit what you eat. 0.99

01:24:40.000 But what's interesting is, though, guys are still vulnerable to that. 1.00

01:24:44.000 Oh, absolutely. 0.99

01:24:45.000 They're not trying, but if a girl still tries, we're dumb. 1.00

01:24:48.000 Guys are dumb. 1.00

01:24:50.000 Oh, so dumb. 1.00

01:24:51.000 That used to be like a move where a girl would, like, get a job as a secretary to meet a guy who's an executive. 1.00

01:24:59.000 I mean, girls did it in college. 1.00

01:25:00.000 Like, girls, like, what are you studying? 0.98

01:25:02.000 I'm studying my MRS. What's MRS? My missus.

01:25:06.000 Oh.

01:25:08.000 They used to say that?

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:10.000 There's a girl who's kind of famous on YouTube because she talks openly about submitting to her husband.

01:25:17.000 Do you know this girl?

01:25:18.000 I think I know who you're talking about.

01:25:19.000 And she talks about how, you know, people submit to their boss, you know, all the time.

01:25:24.000 But they don't submit to their- Yeah.

01:25:25.000 And that, you know, we have a great relationship and we cooperate together and I'm essentially a professional wife.

01:25:31.000 I mean, feminism has turned the word submission into a bad word. 1.00

01:25:35.000 I mean, this is what it is.

01:25:36.000 I mean, it's like, who are you submitting to?

01:25:38.000 Are you submitting to someone who loves you and cares for you and is looking out for you genuinely? 1.00

01:25:42.000 Or are you submitting to some guy who's an asshole who just has money? 1.00

01:25:45.000 There's that, too. 1.00

01:25:47.000 I think that's why...

01:25:48.000 I've always said it, too.

01:25:50.000 Like, any time I deal with anyone, I don't ask you two things.

01:25:54.000 It's loyalty and respect.

01:25:56.000 I don't need your love.

01:25:58.000 What?

01:25:58.000 You don't need love from a girl?

01:26:00.000 Low-team respect.

01:26:01.000 Dude, you're a rapper.

01:26:02.000 No, I'm being dead serious.

01:26:03.000 Think about it like this. 1.00

01:26:07.000 You're a gangster. 0.97

01:26:08.000 That's such a gangster thing to say. 0.93

01:26:10.000 There are things people won't do because they respect you.

01:26:13.000 There are things people will do even if they love you.

01:26:16.000 It's different.

01:26:16.000 I'm not saying I don't want love at all.

01:26:19.000 I'm just saying I prioritize that loyalty and respect.

01:26:23.000 Also, what's your standard for love?

01:26:27.000 There's some people that think of love, they right away love people.

01:26:31.000 And then there's people that you've got to really, really earn the word love.

01:26:35.000 That's how I am.

01:26:36.000 I think in most cases that's true, but if I'm drunk.

01:26:41.000 I think that's a different L word.

01:26:42.000 I love everybody from drunk.

01:26:45.000 Yeah.

01:26:45.000 It's funny.

01:26:46.000 I think I do a pretty good job monitoring myself when I'm drunk.

01:26:50.000 Yeah.

01:26:51.000 The problem with drunk is then you sober up.

01:26:55.000 Yeah.

01:26:57.000 Imagine if there was a drug that you could take that had no side effects, that just kept you buzzed all day long.

01:27:06.000 No, I've gotten my drink into a science on that level.

01:27:09.000 Really?

01:27:09.000 Yep.

01:27:09.000 How do you do it?

01:27:10.000 I just know how my body reacts.

01:27:12.000 Because you know how I'm like, I won't smoke weed, I won't do anything, right?

01:27:15.000 Except alcohol, which is probably the worst, but whatever.

01:27:17.000 It is.

01:27:19.000 It is.

01:27:20.000 But I think what it is, is I hit a certain level where I don't like the feeling. 0.98

01:27:26.000 And so I don't like feeling shit-faced. 0.98

01:27:29.000 So for me, I'll hit a point where I'm... 0.98

01:27:32.000 Floating, right?

01:27:33.000 And once I'm there, I'll stop.

01:27:35.000 I'll shut it off.

01:27:36.000 I won't drink anymore.

01:27:37.000 Are you aware of glutathione?

01:27:39.000 Yes, I am.

01:27:40.000 Yeah, liposomal glutathione.

01:27:42.000 I think we talked about that.

01:27:43.000 Yeah, I think we did.

01:27:44.000 But for people that didn't hear that, it has a really significant effect on your body's ability to process alcohol.

01:27:50.000 I mean, it's not, I think it's been exaggerated by some people, you know, but there's a real legitimate effect, documented effect, that liposomal glutathione has on your body's ability to process alcohol.

01:28:03.000 And there's a lot of people that take glutathione when they're drinking to manage your body's processing.

01:28:09.000 I don't remember the last time I had a hangover.

01:28:11.000 Really?

01:28:12.000 Yeah.

01:28:12.000 I told you, I have it down to a science.

01:28:14.000 A lot of it, too, is when I'm so, like, especially when I come to Austin, because I do actually most of my partying in Austin.

01:28:20.000 Really?

01:28:20.000 Oh, yeah.

01:28:21.000 This is where you get hammered?

01:28:22.000 Yeah, pretty much.

01:28:22.000 Why?

01:28:23.000 Sunday fun days, man.

01:28:26.000 Sunday fun days, man.

01:28:27.000 But why up here?

01:28:28.000 Why do you come up here to get fun?

01:28:29.000 I just like the energy here.

01:28:31.000 It's a fun town.

01:28:31.000 I just love the energy here.

01:28:33.000 It is a fun town.

01:28:33.000 It is very fun.

01:28:34.000 Very fun.

01:28:35.000 And so for me, but I'm always, when I'm drinking like that, especially during the day, you'll notice, and some of my friends get annoyed with me because they're like, shots!

01:28:44.000 I'm like, no.

01:28:45.000 Really?

01:28:46.000 Because I'll shut it down because I know when I hit my point.

01:28:48.000 Right.

01:28:49.000 And then at that point, they'll give me a shot and I'm drinking water.

01:28:52.000 Well, you're a good person to talk about gun control with then, because you're like a controlled guy.

01:28:56.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:28:58.000 That's control.

01:28:59.000 That kind of control and awareness of limitations and being smart about things and seeing where things go bad.

01:29:06.000 I think also, too, there's a component where, I mean, I know there are a lot of eyes on me as well, too.

01:29:10.000 Not that I, honestly, but that's not even, you talk to my friends who knew me before I kind of developed this platform, I was always kind of that way, too.

01:29:17.000 But I'm very cognizant and aware that, like, I can be out and people know me and I don't realize that they know me.

01:29:22.000 There's a limited amount of people in that space, in the gun control space, that have not just a voice but also an intelligent perspective and can have these really reasonable, even-keeled debates and discussions of things.

01:29:38.000 Maybe I'm an idiot because I know I got a lot of friends who are in the gun space who are like, man, I can't do what you do because I don't want to deal with it. 0.98

01:29:44.000 Well, I don't think you're an idiot. 1.00

01:29:45.000 I think you just are better at handling that kind of shit than a lot of people are. 1.00

01:29:49.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:29:50.000 Maybe to my detriment.

01:29:51.000 Do you have conversations with people?

01:29:53.000 Do you ever have debates with people that think that we should take away all the AR-15s?

01:29:58.000 It's funny you bring that up.

01:29:59.000 So before I came here, I went to the hotel restaurant that I was staying at, and there was a bartender, she was there, who was taking my order.

01:30:09.000 And so she was looking at my shirt, and she's like, if you know, you know.

01:30:12.000 Because that's what the I, the K, the Y, and all that stuff stands for.

01:30:14.000 What does it say?

01:30:15.000 If you know, you know.

01:30:17.000 That's what the acronym I-K-Y-K stands for.

01:30:20.000 What does it say?

01:30:20.000 On the inside, it's the actual verbiage of the Second Amendment.

01:30:23.000 Oh! 0.60

01:30:24.000 Yeah.

01:30:25.000 And so the whole basis of the shirt is...

01:30:27.000 A well-regulated militia.

01:30:29.000 ...being necessary to his tiered of a free state.

01:30:31.000 The people that keep and bear arms shall not be in front. 0.99

01:30:33.000 Is this your t-shirt?

01:30:34.000 Yeah, it's my t-shirt.

01:30:35.000 Oh, from your company?

01:30:35.000 Yeah.

01:30:36.000 And so that's the point.

01:30:37.000 So all of my designs, all of my t-shirts and merch...

01:30:40.000 Is that a Glock hat?

01:30:41.000 No, this is my logo.

01:30:42.000 Oh.

01:30:43.000 It looks like it.

01:30:44.000 It looks similar to the Glock logo.

01:30:46.000 Nah, they stole it from me.

01:30:47.000 Did they?

01:30:48.000 No.

01:30:49.000 How dare you?

01:30:50.000 You got me for something.

01:30:52.000 No.

01:30:53.000 But my designs are designed to kind of evoke curiosity, to have the conversation.

01:30:59.000 And so literally, I'm sitting at the bar, and she's like, if you know, you know.

01:31:03.000 And I'm like, oh, I'm surprised you picked up on that.

01:31:05.000 And then she was like, well, what does that say on the inside?

01:31:07.000 And so she reads it, and she's like, oh, the Second Amendment.

01:31:10.000 And so I was like, yeah.

01:31:12.000 And so in my mind, I'm like, I'm in Austin.

01:31:14.000 I'm like, mm, I'm not sure how this is going to go. 1.00

01:31:19.000 This can go, fuck yeah, she can give you knuckles, or she can call you a piece of shit. 1.00

01:31:23.000 Yeah, so it actually fell in the middle. 1.00

01:31:25.000 Really?

01:31:25.000 Yeah.

01:31:26.000 So we actually, we conversed for about 30, 40 minutes.

01:31:30.000 You know, I sat there stuffing my face while we sat and we talked, because they just opened, so it was pretty slow.

01:31:37.000 And she was like, you know, I just think there needs to be some laws.

01:31:40.000 And I'm like, you know, well, there are laws.

01:31:42.000 It's not like we're starting from zero.

01:31:43.000 You know, we have like 300 federal gun laws and then close to 20,000 on the state and local level.

01:31:49.000 And so she's like, yeah, but what about background checks?

01:31:51.000 We need background checks.

01:31:52.000 I'm like, we have background checks.

01:31:54.000 And oddly enough, like in that moment when she said background checks, I knew she didn't know that we already have them.

01:32:01.000 But I didn't want this to turn into an argument.

01:32:02.000 I wanted it to be a conversation.

01:32:03.000 So I was like, how do I retort that without making it seem like I'm being combative?

01:32:08.000 And so I'm like, well, we do actually have background checks.

01:32:13.000 Anytime you buy a gun from a dealer, you have to get a background check.

01:32:17.000 She's like, but do you really?

01:32:18.000 I'm like, yeah, you do.

01:32:20.000 And so the conversation went from there.

01:32:22.000 We didn't fix the world's problems in that conversation.

01:32:24.000 But we had an open enough conversation where I could tell she was more open-minded about certain aspects of stuff and realized some of the things she didn't know.

01:32:34.000 While at the same time, I let her speak to me in a way where I got a better understanding of where someone like her is coming from on the issue.

01:32:42.000 So that we can have that conversation in a productive manner.

01:32:45.000 It wasn't from the position of, you want to ban guns?

01:32:47.000 I don't want you to take just my right.

01:32:49.000 It wasn't that.

01:32:50.000 It was, okay, but here's the reality.

01:32:52.000 Here are the facts.

01:32:53.000 And then this is where your stance on it is.

01:32:56.000 And that's my ultimate goal for what I do, especially with my videos.

01:32:59.000 Like, a lot of people, not a lot of people, but I've seen the comments sometimes.

01:33:02.000 People are like, well, stop, you know, stop making these videos.

01:33:05.000 Not stop making the videos, but there's like this is pointless going on because they're never going to change their mind.

01:33:09.000 And I'm like, this video isn't for the extreme.

01:33:12.000 It's not even a lot of times for the people who are extremely in agreeance with me.

01:33:16.000 It's for the people in the middle. 0.93

01:33:17.000 There's a lot of people in the middle.

01:33:19.000 Like a ton.

01:33:20.000 And they're really honestly just looking for adequate information to make the decision on.

01:33:24.000 That's what they're trying to do and that's what I'm trying to give them when I put my videos out.

01:33:27.000 So that's who I'm speaking to.

01:33:29.000 Now, sometimes I get a little fruitful.

01:33:32.000 Fruitful?

01:33:33.000 Fruitful.

01:33:33.000 When it comes to like some, not zesty fruitful, but you know.

01:33:39.000 Zesty.

01:33:40.000 I like how you use it.

01:33:42.000 It is pride money.

01:33:44.000 Zesty is a good one.

01:33:45.000 Zesty is positive.

01:33:46.000 It's a positive expression.

01:33:47.000 I think it's an awesome term.

01:33:48.000 It's a great time.

01:33:49.000 It's a great time.

01:33:51.000 But, you know, it's for me, you know, like sometimes with certain celebrities, I'll get a little fruitful in the way I kind of handle the video. 0.91

01:33:58.000 But for the most part, I'm trying to educate the masses of people in the middle who are looking to get information because a lot of them either get straight up lies that is being pushed by the anti-gun lobby or they just are just ignorant.

01:34:11.000 On all the laws, the gun conversation altogether, because this has been the biggest conversation that—this is as big as the conversation has ever gotten with respect to the gun conversation in America.

01:34:24.000 And a lot of it has to do with social media.

01:34:26.000 If social media did not exist to the degree that it does right now, the state of gun rights in this country would be nil.

01:34:33.000 You think so?

01:34:34.000 I absolutely agree.

01:34:35.000 So you think that social media has actually accentuated gun rights?

01:34:38.000 Absolutely.

01:34:39.000 Until they realized how powerful it was, and then we started getting shadow back.

01:34:43.000 Because what happens is, because before, most of the information was coming from the mainstream media.

01:34:48.000 That's where all the conversations were being had.

01:34:51.000 CNN isn't running to get Coleon Noir to come onto the platform.

01:34:54.000 Now, in all fairness, I will say this.

01:34:57.000 Recently, I think CNN did a piece on AR-15s.

01:35:02.000 And somebody from CNN reached out to me and wanted me to be a part of it.

01:35:06.000 I was traveling.

01:35:07.000 I couldn't do it.

01:35:08.000 But even then, I was a little kind of hesitant.

01:35:11.000 I think that subject is too multifaceted and complex to be handled in a five-minute segment.

01:35:19.000 I agree.

01:35:20.000 Especially there would be you and then there'd be someone on the other side that is the anti-gun person.

01:35:24.000 Funny thing, it wasn't even like a conversation type piece.

01:35:27.000 It was one of those kind of like investigative kind of deals.

01:35:29.000 Oh, so they wanted to interview you and then edit you out of context and take the worship that you say.

01:35:33.000 Exactly.

01:35:34.000 And that's why typically I only like to do things live.

01:35:37.000 If I'm going to do anything from an opposition standpoint, and I don't mean I'm calling people who disagree me the ops, but I like to do it live so that there's no misconstruing of what I'm saying or what I'm trying to communicate.

01:35:51.000 I'm not too prone to doing pre-recorded with them because I know how things can be taken out of context.

01:35:57.000 They've done it to me for years.

01:36:02.000 I'm a little hesitant to do pre-recorded stuff, even though sometimes my arrogance...

01:36:14.000 We'll want to.

01:36:15.000 Because I've been doing this for so long, I think, oh no, I can navigate all the tricks and stuff.

01:36:20.000 And I had to pull myself back because I'm like, there are people who are way more experienced at this and they still get caught up in that.

01:36:26.000 So I'm not going to be so arrogant as to assume I can navigate the pitfalls that come with doing something pre-recorded with people who are legitimately trying to trip you up.

01:36:34.000 I've seen people take answers to a different question and apply them to a question that makes that answer look horrible.

01:36:42.000 I've seen people do that.

01:36:44.000 I've seen that on television, on regular television, where I know...

01:36:49.000 In fact, I've seen the original video.

01:36:53.000 Yeah, it's horrible.

01:36:54.000 And there's nothing you can do about that.

01:36:55.000 Nothing you can do about it.

01:36:56.000 And those kind of deceptive practices have always been a part of the media.

01:37:01.000 I have an opinion that I've been developing more and more lately that I feel like, almost like news should be non-profit.

01:37:10.000 I know that sounds crazy, but I feel like there should be a rigorous examination of the objective facts, what we absolutely understand, almost by like a third party that's completely unbiased and that's regulated.

01:37:25.000 And you shouldn't do that either, because then you have right-wing politics, there's left-wing politics.

01:37:30.000 They've done it to me!

01:37:31.000 I remember when we, remember the Kyle Rittenhouse?

01:37:35.000 Yes.

01:37:35.000 Right?

01:37:36.000 Kyle Rittenhouse, I remember when I did the Kyle Rittenhouse, actually, that's a different situation.

01:37:39.000 That was Facebook banning me for just doing a legal breakdown of the actual situation.

01:37:44.000 They banned you?

01:37:44.000 Yes.

01:37:45.000 Facebook banned you for doing a breakdown?

01:37:47.000 Temporarily, yes.

01:37:48.000 What did they say?

01:37:49.000 They banned the video and then they said, because remember, that's when Zuckerberg got up in there and was basically like, we're treating him like a mass shooter.

01:37:55.000 Oh my god.

01:37:56.000 Yeah.

01:37:56.000 So they immediately banned the video and then they were like, yeah, we're banning your account temporarily because you posted a video about Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:38:04.000 Now, I also did another video where I said, I think it was about background checks, right?

01:38:10.000 And I said, 90% of Americans do not agree with universal background checks.

01:38:19.000 What does that mean?

01:38:40.000 So, for instance, like if I came here now and wanted to give you a gun here in Texas, they want it to be federally required that you and I would have to go to a gun store, you get a background check before I can give you the gun.

01:38:51.000 You still, we have background checks.

01:38:53.000 Like if you were to go to a gun store and buy a gun, yeah, you have to get a background check.

01:38:56.000 You go to a gun show, get a gun, you got to get a background check.

01:38:59.000 But what is the loophole for gun shows that people always talk about?

01:39:03.000 It's not a loophole.

01:39:03.000 It's what we're talking about right now.

01:39:05.000 So if you and I said, hey, I was like, hey, I have this gun.

01:39:09.000 You want to buy it?

01:39:10.000 And you're like, yeah.

01:39:11.000 All right.

01:39:11.000 Where do you want to meet?

01:39:12.000 All right.

01:39:12.000 Meet me at this gun show.

01:39:14.000 And then we exchange it there.

01:39:16.000 But if a person sells a gun at a gun show at a stand.

01:39:20.000 At a stand, yes.

01:39:21.000 They are a dealer.

01:39:21.000 Therefore, you need to run a background check on everybody who buys the gun there.

01:39:26.000 But if someone bought a gun legally at a stand and then brought it to you and said, do you want to buy it?

01:39:33.000 They could just sell it to you.

01:39:34.000 They could technically sell it to you.

01:39:35.000 Because they're an individual.

01:39:36.000 However, they will run into the straw purchase aspect of the law.

01:39:40.000 Because then what that does is that gives you constructive intent to say, hey, look, this person bought this gun to sell it to somebody else.

01:39:47.000 That is a straw purchase.

01:39:49.000 Now, is that universal in terms of all 50 states?

01:39:52.000 No.

01:39:52.000 So, some states you can't have private transactions.

01:39:55.000 Oh, what states are those?

01:39:56.000 I don't know all of them.

01:39:58.000 But, of course, California, New York, Connecticut.

01:40:02.000 What else?

01:40:02.000 I can't remember all the ones.

01:40:03.000 New York makes it very difficult to get a handgun.

01:40:06.000 Is that correct?

01:40:06.000 Yes.

01:40:07.000 California, you can get a handgun pretty easy.

01:40:09.000 You just can't carry.

01:40:11.000 Can't carry...

01:40:12.000 I mean, they're loosening up some of the restrictions as far as carries.

01:40:15.000 Like, you talked about handing out permits in some places.

01:40:17.000 L.A. County is a different story.

01:40:19.000 But I think some people are.

01:40:20.000 I think they're even loosening up.

01:40:21.000 They're loosening up in L.A. County. 0.99

01:40:23.000 They have no choice, though, because L.A. is turning into the fucking perch. 0.99

01:40:26.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:40:27.000 Literally.

01:40:28.000 Yeah.

01:40:29.000 But...

01:40:30.000 There are some states where you're allowed to have private transactions without requiring a background check, and then there are some states where you can't do that.

01:40:38.000 That's universal background check.

01:40:40.000 There are extended background checks.

01:40:42.000 That's what we're talking about.

01:40:44.000 The funny thing about it is most of these mass shooters are not getting their guns through private transactions.

01:40:48.000 They're getting background checks and then acquiring the firearms.

01:40:52.000 That's the weird thing about it.

01:40:54.000 But a lot of people think that we just don't have background checks at all.

01:40:57.000 Or they're getting them from somebody else who got them from illegal means.

01:41:01.000 Exactly, right?

01:41:02.000 Like one of the guys got it from his parents, right?

01:41:05.000 Yes, exactly.

01:41:05.000 He stole it.

01:41:06.000 I don't want to say his name.

01:41:08.000 I make a point not to say their names.

01:41:10.000 But yes, he stole it from his mother.

01:41:12.000 And so for a lot of people, they see that and they go, well, yeah, we need background checks.

01:41:17.000 Well, we have them.

01:41:18.000 And then when we talk about private transactions, I have a problem with requiring background checks on private transfers because I know what it takes for them to be effective.

01:41:28.000 You cannot enforce a universal background check basically requiring you and I have to go and get a background check before I can give you a gun.

01:41:36.000 You can't enforce that unless there is a national gun registration.

01:41:39.000 There has to be a registry with all the guns in place that the government has with all the information, location, and everything in order for them to effectively enforce that.

01:41:48.000 Because if I pull a gun out of my bag right now and hand you a gun, Right?

01:41:54.000 And I say, this is yours.

01:41:56.000 You can keep it.

01:41:56.000 It's a gift from me to you.

01:41:58.000 And then you go about your life and the cop pulls you over and says, hey, did you get a background check for that gun?

01:42:02.000 Yeah, I did.

01:42:04.000 How would they know you're lying?

01:42:06.000 Unless they have a database of every transaction that took place with every firearm that they can go and say, well, this particular gun belongs to Collier Noir.

01:42:17.000 But is it unreasonable to have that?

01:42:19.000 What do you mean?

01:42:19.000 Yes.

01:42:20.000 It is unreasonable.

01:42:20.000 I absolutely believe it's unreasonable.

01:42:22.000 Why do you think it's unreasonable to have it?

01:42:23.000 Because every registration that this country, this world has ever had has resulted in the confiscation.

01:42:30.000 Australia, they had a registration.

01:42:31.000 Then they subsequently used that registration to confiscate firearms.

01:42:36.000 And they don't even have to go door to door to do it.

01:42:38.000 That's what people don't realize.

01:42:39.000 All they have to say is, you don't turn their gun in, we're going to come arrest you.

01:42:43.000 They would have to literally arrest almost everybody.

01:42:46.000 Unless everybody complied.

01:42:48.000 Exactly.

01:42:48.000 But see, here's the thing, though.

01:42:49.000 Do you want to be the person they make an example out of?

01:42:51.000 So think about it.

01:42:52.000 All they would have to do is this.

01:42:54.000 Make an example out of a few people, high-profile people. 1.00

01:42:56.000 They'll come to my black ass in a heartbeat. 1.00

01:42:59.000 Colin Noir, you didn't turn your guns in. 1.00

01:43:02.000 Yes, I did.

01:43:03.000 Nope.

01:43:04.000 We have the registration.

01:43:04.000 We have all your guns right here.

01:43:06.000 None of these guns were turned in.

01:43:07.000 We're taking you in. 0.99

01:43:09.000 Now I'm in fucking prison because I didn't turn in my firearms. 1.00

01:43:13.000 Now everybody else who's not me is looking at it like, damn. 0.99

01:43:16.000 It's kind of like, remember Napster? 0.98

01:43:17.000 When they were charging certain people with stealing music.

01:43:20.000 Oh, I do remember they did that.

01:43:22.000 That's right.

01:43:23.000 It's the same concept.

01:43:23.000 Some people went to jail for that.

01:43:24.000 Exactly.

01:43:25.000 And it scared me.

01:43:26.000 I stopped downloading on that. 0.97

01:43:28.000 I'm like, I don't want y'all coming over here in my college dorm room arresting me because I'm fucking downloading. 0.85

01:43:33.000 Well, I stopped downloading because I'm a good person. 1.00

01:43:35.000 Shut up, Joe. 0.98

01:43:36.000 I didn't stop downloading. 0.99

01:43:39.000 I did make a point of buying CDs if I liked the music that I downloaded for free.

01:43:45.000 Fair enough.

01:43:46.000 But that's kind of rude.

01:43:48.000 You're just kind of making yourself feel better.

01:43:50.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:43:50.000 I'm a piece of shit. 1.00

01:43:51.000 That was a piece of shit move. 1.00

01:43:52.000 But that was one of those things where no one knew, is this stealing? 1.00

01:43:56.000 Is it not stealing?

01:43:57.000 It's weird.

01:43:58.000 It's kind of like, I mean, I really honestly, I love music so much that I didn't even want to let my brain go there because I know that I probably wouldn't be able to justify it.

01:44:05.000 What they have done is pretty fascinating, though, with subscription services like Spotify and Apple Music.

01:44:10.000 I love it.

01:44:11.000 I love that you can tell me about a song, and I can just go, oh, okay, bam, and then I get it, and it's on my phone.

01:44:18.000 I'll pay a little money for that.

01:44:20.000 Oh, I have Spotify, I have Apple, I have other streamings like...

01:44:25.000 You have Jay-Z's?

01:44:26.000 I had Tidal for a while.

01:44:29.000 Is that good?

01:44:30.000 I didn't like the interface that much.

01:44:33.000 What's the best one?

01:44:34.000 I'm still a Spotify user.

01:44:36.000 You don't have to say that because you're here.

01:44:38.000 Huh?

01:44:39.000 You don't have to say that because you're here.

01:44:40.000 No, I'm being dead serious.

01:44:41.000 I forgot you were on Spotify.

01:44:42.000 Me too.

01:44:42.000 Truth be told.

01:44:45.000 But I started using them initially.

01:44:48.000 Right.

01:44:48.000 And I love the interface.

01:44:50.000 And so I just got entrenched in it.

01:44:52.000 It's like me and Apple.

01:44:53.000 My whole ecosystem is Apple now, so I don't have a desire to go anywhere else, and everything else works just fine for me. 0.98

01:45:00.000 I wish Apple came up with a keyboard that's worth a fuck. 0.98

01:45:05.000 Oh yeah, we talked about that. 0.99

01:45:06.000 You like the long throw.

01:45:07.000 I'm a writer.

01:45:08.000 I write.

01:45:09.000 I like the short, though.

01:45:10.000 I can go faster.

01:45:12.000 No.

01:45:12.000 Yeah, I remember you telling me.

01:45:13.000 No, you don't go faster.

01:45:14.000 You never used a ThinkPad.

01:45:16.000 No, granted, I do most of them.

01:45:18.000 They're the best.

01:45:19.000 ThinkPads have a curved keyboard.

01:45:22.000 I'll tell you what.

01:45:23.000 No, no, no.

01:45:24.000 The actual keys have a curve to them where your finger sits in it, and it recognizes exactly where you're at.

01:45:32.000 It's genius.

01:45:33.000 I've never used it, so I can't. 1.00

01:45:34.000 Lenovo Thinkpads are the shit. 0.99

01:45:36.000 The writing experience when you're writing is so much smoother. 1.00

01:45:41.000 Really?

01:45:41.000 Yes.

01:45:42.000 It's statistically proven to have less errors.

01:45:45.000 They've taken people that type X amount of words per minute, and they can improve the number of words per minute that they write just using a Lenovo.

01:45:54.000 Just using those long throw keys.

01:45:57.000 Let's see, but that's only PC. Yeah, but you can get a keyboard, like a Bluetooth keyboard, that will mimic that.

01:46:05.000 They have some hardcore ones, like mechanical keys, which are incredible, because they have like clickety-clack to them, and you know exactly whether or not you pressed a T or an R, and when you do it like that, man, it's like your errors, it's like for me, When I write,

01:46:22.000 65% of the time I'm stoned.

01:46:24.000 When I write, I'm drinking.

01:46:25.000 I don't need to think where the keys are.

01:46:28.000 I just want to think about the ideas.

01:46:29.000 And that allows me, my fingers flow over those keys in a natural way.

01:46:37.000 As a matter of fact, one of my Apple laptops is a 2015 laptop that I had refurbished because the keys were better.

01:46:45.000 They had more throw to them back then.

01:46:47.000 And everybody's going with sleek Everybody wants good-looking and sleek.

01:46:51.000 I know you're an aesthetics guy. 0.99

01:46:53.000 When I see your pocket dump, you got everything lined up, it's all pretty, and you like the way shit looks. 0.98

01:47:01.000 I guess I kind of do, too. 1.00

01:47:04.000 Obviously, look at this garbage all over this fucking table. 1.00

01:47:08.000 You're more of a aesthetic guy than you like to let on. 1.00

01:47:10.000 In which way?

01:47:11.000 I mean, there's a certain aesthetic to this place.

01:47:13.000 It doesn't necessarily have to be like ultra-modern, clean, minimalism.

01:47:19.000 But it's organized chaos.

01:47:20.000 I guess.

01:47:21.000 There's some organization to it.

01:47:23.000 Yours is like rustic chaos. 0.95

01:47:25.000 Yeah, there's a little rustic to that.

01:47:27.000 Yeah, there's a little of that.

01:47:28.000 But I also like function.

01:47:30.000 And for me, with writing, I need a keyboard that functions.

01:47:34.000 I was actually talking to my friend Lex.

01:47:35.000 I was over at his house the other day.

01:47:36.000 And he has one of those...

01:47:38.000 Keys that are keyboards that are separated and then concave.

01:47:42.000 That miscellaneous drives me crazy.

01:47:44.000 Like the thought of that.

01:47:45.000 I don't know why.

01:47:46.000 You don't have to move your hands.

01:47:47.000 It's just everything is like...

01:47:48.000 And I go, how is that?

01:47:50.000 I go, I used to have one of those.

01:47:51.000 I haven't used one of those in a long time.

01:47:52.000 He goes, oh, they ruin you for other keyboards.

01:47:54.000 Well, I think the reason why I don't like that is because I'm constantly going back and forth to my mouth because when I'm writing, I'm researching at the same time.

01:48:00.000 So I'm like writing, going here, going here, click.

01:48:03.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:04.000 Right.

01:48:04.000 I don't necessarily need to have a static position on the keyboard because I'm constantly moving my hands anyway.

01:48:09.000 I see what you're saying.

01:48:10.000 I just like it to be the thing I think about the least.

01:48:14.000 One of the things I really love about both, I have a Samsung phone too and I can do it on that as well, is that I can talk into my notes and I can, you know, like if I'm out and I have an idea, I just like a lot of,

01:48:29.000 like all this, a lot of this shit, these are ideas that I have for material, a lot of that shit I just talk into my phone and it types it out.

01:48:38.000 And it's amazing how good it works. 0.96

01:48:40.000 Usually what I'll do is like I have the same setup except I have my reminders and then I'll have like different lists and then I'll just go type it.

01:48:49.000 So like if I'm working...

01:48:50.000 I wonder if it works with...

01:48:51.000 Here we go.

01:48:52.000 Coleon Noir.

01:48:54.000 Bam.

01:48:56.000 So it's actually pretty accurate.

01:48:59.000 Yeah.

01:48:59.000 And it's reading you saying it's actually pretty accurate.

01:49:02.000 Oh, wow.

01:49:02.000 That's nutty.

01:49:03.000 Yeah.

01:49:03.000 So I clicked on the keyboard before it said accurate, but it heard you say that.

01:49:08.000 Like, say something right now.

01:49:10.000 Wow.

01:49:10.000 I think it's pretty nutty that you're able to accurately dictate exactly what I'm saying.

01:49:13.000 Okay.

01:49:14.000 That's creepy.

01:49:15.000 That's amazing.

01:49:16.000 Right?

01:49:16.000 It's in real time.

01:49:17.000 Come on, that's amazing.

01:49:18.000 That's Notepad?

01:49:19.000 That's Notes.

01:49:20.000 That's Notes on Apple.

01:49:21.000 It's not a new application.

01:49:23.000 See, I've been using Evernotes for everything.

01:49:24.000 Evernotes is great.

01:49:25.000 I haven't used the dictation on Evernotes yet.

01:49:27.000 Evernotes is great, but the thing is that this is native to Apple.

01:49:29.000 Ah, gotcha.

01:49:30.000 But Samsung has Samsung Notes, so you could do it on that, and Google has the same kind of thing.

01:49:34.000 Okay.

01:49:35.000 But the voice recognition software is fantastic now.

01:49:38.000 It's really good.

01:49:39.000 Okay.

01:49:39.000 See, I just left it in the dust, because before it would just be too nervous.

01:49:42.000 Like, it just wouldn't write what I told it to write.

01:49:45.000 Just some of that.

01:49:46.000 Like I sent a text out to a friend of mine today and they fucked it up and I didn't realize it until after I sent it.

01:49:50.000 Do you send like voice text?

01:49:51.000 Sometimes, yeah.

01:49:52.000 I hate people that do that.

01:49:53.000 Ah!

01:49:53.000 No, no, no.

01:49:54.000 Not a voicemail text?

01:49:56.000 Like voice message?

01:49:57.000 Yeah, voice message where it's not writing it out.

01:49:59.000 No.

01:50:00.000 It's like an audio that you have to listen to.

01:50:02.000 Yeah.

01:50:03.000 That's weird.

01:50:03.000 Yeah.

01:50:03.000 You do that?

01:50:04.000 Those are annoying.

01:50:05.000 No, I don't do that.

01:50:06.000 I notice people in California do it the most.

01:50:08.000 Really?

01:50:08.000 Yes.

01:50:08.000 You got to become friends with Alex Jones.

01:50:11.000 That's how he communicates with me, because they all disappear.

01:50:15.000 But no, you can talk into it.

01:50:17.000 Like, I can send you a text message.

01:50:19.000 Like, instead of saying, hey, go around to the right-hand corner of the building, and there's a red door.

01:50:32.000 Knock on that.

01:50:33.000 We'll let you in.

01:50:34.000 I can just say it.

01:50:35.000 Gotcha.

01:50:36.000 Go around to the corner of the building.

01:50:37.000 There's a red door.

01:50:38.000 I'll let you in.

01:50:38.000 Bam.

01:50:39.000 Bam.

01:50:39.000 Press send.

01:50:40.000 And so I don't have to fuck with the thumb thing. 1.00

01:50:43.000 I'm dumb. 0.99

01:50:43.000 You're right, because I do it in my Apple CarPlay. 0.99

01:50:48.000 Oh yeah, I do that.

01:50:49.000 I do that all the time, like when I'm driving.

01:50:52.000 I'll say, you know, text Jamie.

01:50:55.000 And it'll do that.

01:50:56.000 So now that I think about it, I just never did it outside of driving.

01:50:59.000 It's so good.

01:51:00.000 It's so accurate.

01:51:01.000 It's incredible how accurate it is.

01:51:03.000 But for me, it's like...

01:51:05.000 Ideas, like if I have an idea for a joke, like those ideas are so fleeting and sometimes like I'll convince myself that I'm gonna...

01:51:13.000 Jim, who, excuse me, who was it?

01:51:16.000 Mitch Hedberg had a bit about how he kept a notepad by the bed and you know so if he had an idea in the middle of the night he would wake up.

01:51:25.000 Or if I'm lazy I'd convince myself it wasn't funny.

01:51:30.000 I have in my shower.

01:51:32.000 I have one of those notepad things in the shower that are waterproof.

01:51:36.000 It has a pencil I got on Amazon.

01:51:38.000 I get a lot of ideas on topics to talk about in the shower.

01:51:42.000 Really?

01:51:42.000 Uh-huh.

01:51:43.000 And so I'll be in the shower.

01:51:45.000 I'm like, oh yeah.

01:51:46.000 I'll pull it out, write it on the little pad, and then you can just rip it off like a Post-it.

01:51:50.000 Rip it off and then take it and do what you need to do.

01:51:52.000 I get a lot of my ideas in the sauna, and I can't have my phone in the sauna or it'll shut off.

01:51:58.000 Yeah, because it gets hot.

01:51:59.000 It gets too hot.

01:52:00.000 But the AirPods, I put this up on Instagram the other day, but if you're a person that gets in the sauna, get yourself some AirPod 1s, the first generation AirPods.

01:52:09.000 Don't get AirPods 2, don't get 3, and don't get the Pros.

01:52:12.000 I have the Beats.

01:52:15.000 Which ones do I have?

01:52:16.000 Those are good too, but they're good in terms of sound, but in terms of the ability to withstand sauna.

01:52:23.000 It's just the heat of the sauna.

01:52:25.000 The problem is it cooks the microphone.

01:52:27.000 It either cooks the microphone or the sweat kills the microphone. 0.99

01:52:32.000 I'll try answering the phone like, where the What the fuck are you calling me from? 0.97

01:52:35.000 No one can understand me at all. 0.99

01:52:37.000 So I have like a pair of AirPods that I have killed that just died recently, but I cooked those motherfuckers four or five days a week for like the past two or three years, and they just died. 0.97

01:52:51.000 One of them, the left one, I sit with my left side near the heater, and it just tapped out the other day. 0.98

01:52:59.000 Yeah, suddenly I just started doing the sauna thing.

01:53:02.000 I haven't really. 0.98

01:53:02.000 It's fucking amazing. 0.98

01:53:04.000 It threw me for a loop the first couple times. 0.99

01:53:06.000 I was like, oof.

01:53:07.000 You gotta come in with me, buddy.

01:53:09.000 Come in with me.

01:53:09.000 We got one right here.

01:53:10.000 It sounds a little zesty, Joe.

01:53:11.000 That's not what I mean.

01:53:12.000 I think it's zesty.

01:53:13.000 We're gonna be clothed.

01:53:15.000 No, and I have noticed.

01:53:18.000 I did notice an improvement in my sleeping.

01:53:20.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:21.000 It's an improvement in the way your muscles feel.

01:53:23.000 You feel looser, more relaxed, stress relief. 0.99

01:53:26.000 And if you do that and the ice bath back to back, the Russians know what the fuck they're doing. 0.99

01:53:31.000 No, ice bath's for me. 0.99

01:53:32.000 Ah, you say that.

01:53:33.000 You say that.

01:53:34.000 I can barely watch people do them, much less me do it.

01:53:37.000 Really?

01:53:38.000 Yeah, dude.

01:53:38.000 I'm like, it just...

01:53:39.000 It's not that...

01:53:40.000 I don't do code very well.

01:53:41.000 Once you do it a couple of times, you get used to it.

01:53:44.000 The first time I did it...

01:53:44.000 There's a video of the first time I ever did it.

01:53:46.000 I fucking panicked. 0.96

01:53:47.000 I was out of there in like a minute and 30 seconds. 1.00

01:53:49.000 I was like, fuck this. 0.99

01:53:50.000 Yeah, me and Cole don't mesh very well. 0.99

01:53:52.000 And then the second time I did it, I did it for like four and a half minutes.

01:53:55.000 And then the third time I did it, I did it for 20. Because I just wanted to convince myself.

01:53:59.000 Gotcha. 1.00

01:54:00.000 Damn, 20 minutes in high school. 1.00

01:54:01.000 Jesus Christ. 0.99

01:54:02.000 Well, that's not good.

01:54:03.000 Don't do that.

01:54:04.000 Listen to me.

01:54:06.000 Listen to me.

01:54:06.000 Don't listen to me.

01:54:07.000 That's what I tell people.

01:54:08.000 Don't listen to me.

01:54:10.000 Don't listen to my advice.

01:54:11.000 I will say, being out, like, I remember I did the shooting course, and it was, like, shooting at extended ranges, so we're shooting out to, like, 600, 700, 800 yards.

01:54:22.000 And laying, and it was just white, just all snow.

01:54:27.000 And that was just...

01:54:29.000 Amazing.

01:54:30.000 That I love.

01:54:31.000 But then again, I'm like decked out in these super tucked out.

01:54:33.000 Yeah, that's different.

01:54:34.000 You're feeling cold, but it's not real.

01:54:37.000 Yeah.

01:54:37.000 No, the cold plunge is an existential threat to your existence.

01:54:42.000 You get in there and you're like, what the fuck am I doing? 0.96

01:54:46.000 Your body just wants to get out of there. 0.99

01:54:48.000 Yeah.

01:54:49.000 I mean, but it's so good for your body.

01:54:52.000 It's so good for your muscles and for your joints.

01:54:54.000 And it's not cost prohibitive.

01:54:56.000 All you need is ice cubes in a bathtub. 0.88

01:54:58.000 I mean, just get a couple of bags of ice from the grocery store or the gas station and throw them in a bathtub.

01:55:04.000 Fill it up with cold water.

01:55:05.000 How often do I do it?

01:55:06.000 Almost every day.

01:55:07.000 Really?

01:55:07.000 Yeah.

01:55:07.000 Almost every day.

01:55:08.000 Yeah.

01:55:09.000 The only time I don't do it is right after I lift, because apparently it has some sort of an effect on hypertrophy, which limits your muscles' ability to grow, because part of the inflammation is actually good.

01:55:23.000 The blood circulation, your body breaks down, you get that pump, it breaks down the tissue, and it swells up and inflames, and it's your body saying, okay, we've got to heal, this guy's trying to get swole, you know, and then you want...

01:55:35.000 Lifting is annoying to me.

01:55:36.000 Why is it annoying?

01:55:38.000 No, I love it.

01:55:39.000 I do it at least three or four times a week.

01:55:42.000 But it's the, especially when you're lifting for hypertrophy.

01:55:49.000 It's the set, rep, all that stuff.

01:55:52.000 It's gotten to, and you know what I think it is?

01:55:54.000 I follow too many fitness pages.

01:55:57.000 And so there's just so much different information being thrown at you from different perspectives.

01:56:01.000 So I got to point out, I was like, I'm through three sets of 10, Colin didn't get it out of here.

01:56:05.000 I'm like, I'm not playing this game anymore.

01:56:08.000 Three sets of ten still works.

01:56:09.000 The thing that works more than anything is consistency.

01:56:12.000 Be intelligent about your lifting, don't hurt yourself, and consistency.

01:56:17.000 That's the key.

01:56:18.000 That's pretty much what I'm trying to err on.

01:56:21.000 Another thing too is I'm trying to maximize time.

01:56:25.000 I try to make my workouts as intense and as short as possible.

01:56:29.000 I'm kind of doing this full body stuff.

01:56:31.000 I'm trying to figure out how my body likes that.

01:56:33.000 When you say full body stuff, what are you doing?

01:56:35.000 So what I'll do is I'll do lower body and then everything else the next day.

01:56:40.000 And then I'll do that, have a rest day or two in between, and then that's what I'll do.

01:56:44.000 And then my lower body is consistent of like, right now, I'm doing plyo and a lot of knees over toes stuff kind of combined.

01:56:53.000 And so that's what I do for my lower body.

01:56:54.000 That sounds like what I'm doing.

01:56:55.000 I'm doing a lot of that too and a lot of sled work.

01:56:57.000 Yeah, that's what I'm doing too.

01:56:59.000 Man, that knee over toes guy, he's changed my knees.

01:57:02.000 Yeah, mine...

01:57:03.000 My knees are so much stronger like they feel more stable like everything about it I noticed a big difference cuz like I started noticing it when I was shooting like I just think in my videos when I'm doing gun reviews I like to just run for no reason but as I got older I just thought I was like why am I moving so just stiff like I'm just like nothing feels Tight.

01:57:21.000 Right.

01:57:22.000 It just feels kind of sloppy.

01:57:23.000 Right.

01:57:24.000 And then I started doing that and now I've kind of gotten the youth back in my legs.

01:57:28.000 Where now it's like I can take off at a moment's notice.

01:57:30.000 But like I was telling you also, since I've been doing kind of like this plyo stuff, plyometrics that I've been doing, I think my body's shocked.

01:57:37.000 So now I'm dealing with some Achilles tendonitis in my Achilles.

01:57:41.000 You need a cold plunge.

01:57:42.000 You know what?

01:57:42.000 It's funny.

01:57:44.000 You actually might be right.

01:57:47.000 Get in there.

01:57:48.000 Come on, man.

01:57:49.000 Let me film it.

01:57:50.000 Dude.

01:57:51.000 Let's do it right after here.

01:57:53.000 Not right after here, but I might let you in the future.

01:57:55.000 Okay, let's do it.

01:57:55.000 I might let you film it in the future.

01:57:56.000 Okay, next time you come to town, we'll make a day out of it.

01:57:59.000 We'll work out, and then we'll get in the sauna and do the cold punch and make a video.

01:58:02.000 Just start an OnlyFans.

01:58:04.000 Oh, boy.

01:58:05.000 And that'd be the first video.

01:58:06.000 I think if you start an OnlyFans, automatically you're going to get zest.

01:58:13.000 If people are going to sign up for it, they're going to want a little zest.

01:58:16.000 What percentage of OnlyFans is gay guys?

01:58:19.000 I have no idea.

01:58:20.000 Because I would feel like that's so available for free.

01:58:24.000 I don't think it's the same.

01:58:25.000 I don't know why I think it's the same.

01:58:26.000 I doubt it's the same.

01:58:27.000 It's not the same because girls will hold back. 1.00

01:58:30.000 For a girl to show you her pussy is a lot of work. 1.00

01:58:34.000 I would imagine. 1.00

01:58:35.000 Is it?

01:58:36.000 I would imagine.

01:58:36.000 I mean, it was some girls.

01:58:37.000 I mean, there are a lot of girls on OnlyFans that are doing just that. 0.99

01:58:40.000 Right, but how many guys, like if you're a girl, if you're a hot girl, or if you're a hot guy, how many guys will show you a picture of their dick? 0.99

01:58:47.000 A lot. 1.00

01:58:48.000 I won't.

01:58:49.000 You won't.

01:58:49.000 Well, you're smart.

01:58:50.000 You're also public. 1.00

01:58:51.000 But if you're like a regular dude trying to get laid and a girl says, show me your dick, and you're like, all right. 0.99

01:58:55.000 So, okay, maybe I lie. 0.99

01:59:00.000 I had a girlfriend back in like, I think it was like right before I started college.

01:59:07.000 My first year in college.

01:59:08.000 She would like send me a picture of it.

01:59:12.000 And I was like, what?

01:59:13.000 She was like, especially when we weren't together.

01:59:16.000 Sounds like a good girl.

01:59:17.000 I mean, I guess.

01:59:18.000 Sounds like a lot of fun.

01:59:20.000 It didn't last very long.

01:59:21.000 Sometimes?

01:59:22.000 Well, I had to get away from that one.

01:59:23.000 I got to look real toxic.

01:59:26.000 Sounds like very male. 1.00

01:59:28.000 Show me your dick. 1.00

01:59:29.000 I mean, it was very, no, real talk. 1.00

01:59:32.000 Aggressive.

01:59:32.000 And I was like, okay.

01:59:35.000 And this would happen, like, not on a regular basis, but regular enough where I'm like, Started feeling normal, and then I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna have to stop doing this. 0.96

01:59:45.000 So there may or may not be pictures of my dick floating around on the internet. 0.98

01:59:48.000 I'm sure there are. 0.99

01:59:49.000 Yeah.

01:59:50.000 Yeah.

01:59:50.000 It's like, listen, it's, some people don't like it, but some people like it, right?

01:59:57.000 I think it's weird.

01:59:58.000 It's weird.

01:59:58.000 I think it's weird.

01:59:59.000 Like, some girls will tell you, like, why do guys send dick pics? 0.99

02:00:01.000 And then other girls will be like, send me a dick pic. 1.00

02:00:04.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:00:05.000 Like, I don't know.

02:00:05.000 Now you will, you're not getting one out of me.

02:00:08.000 Good.

02:00:08.000 Good for you.

02:00:09.000 Yeah, not happening.

02:00:10.000 Yeah, I think it's one of those things where it's like the variation of human beings in terms of like what they like and what they don't like is so extreme.

02:00:20.000 So all over the place.

02:00:21.000 All over the place.

02:00:22.000 So all over the place.

02:00:23.000 It's so crazy.

02:00:24.000 Yeah.

02:00:24.000 Even just among my friends, like the stuff that, like the type of girls we're into and so forth and so on, it's all over the place.

02:00:31.000 Oh yeah, I have friends that just like to be in danger.

02:00:39.000 They're not happy unless they're doing something that could ruin their entire life if someone just decided to...

02:00:45.000 I'm the complete opposite. 0.99

02:00:47.000 Me fucking too. 0.99

02:00:49.000 No danger, full discretion, I don't want to be out there. 0.99

02:00:52.000 I'm like, no. 0.98

02:00:53.000 Thank God dick pics weren't a thing when I was 15. Just think about when you first started getting laid when you were 16. Imagine if there was dick pics. 1.00

02:01:03.000 Bro. 0.99

02:01:04.000 Like I said, there may be or may not be some floating around.

02:01:09.000 Well, the thing is with deepfakes, it doesn't matter anymore.

02:01:13.000 Like, deepfakes, there's like every beautiful woman that has ever been in a movie or a television show could easily be in a porn just through a deepfake now. 1.00

02:01:22.000 I remember at the genesis of that, where it was like, So-and-so famous actress in porn scene! 1.00

02:01:28.000 And you're like, wait, what?

02:01:29.000 Not me, but...

02:01:30.000 You get sucked in.

02:01:31.000 Yeah, right.

02:01:32.000 Well, imagine when they get to the point where they can create robots.

02:01:36.000 Like, when they can create a sex robot.

02:01:38.000 I mean, they're pretty damn close. 0.92

02:01:39.000 They're pretty damn close.

02:01:40.000 Pretty damn close. 0.97

02:01:41.000 But if they did decide to come up with a sex robot, they'll look exactly like Jamie. 0.99

02:01:44.000 This would be an interesting place to live.

02:01:46.000 And then Jamie has to watch videos of all these dudes just plowing his fields.

02:01:50.000 Now, there is something to be said.

02:01:52.000 There is something to be said.

02:01:54.000 Hey, easy.

02:01:56.000 I wonder if there's something to be said about them kind of, you know, reaching that level of technology and a lot of guys transcending from OnlyFans over to those things.

02:02:08.000 Oh, it's going to happen.

02:02:09.000 That's going to happen for sure.

02:02:10.000 But then there's going to be, like, how many robots can you afford? 1.00

02:02:13.000 You're going to have a house filled with fuck robots? 1.00

02:02:15.000 I mean, they'll become vacuums at that point. 1.00

02:02:17.000 I mean, there was one story about a guy.

02:02:18.000 He had, like...

02:02:20.000 Well, was it a story? 0.88

02:02:21.000 I think it was something I saw on Instagram where a guy was talking about, like, he went to a guy's house because he was doing, like, some cable work or something, and he walks in and he's like, all these sex dolls.

02:02:33.000 And a slight smell of fish. 1.00

02:02:36.000 The fuck is that smell? 1.00

02:02:38.000 It's just rotten jizz everywhere. 0.99

02:02:41.000 I think there's going to come a time where it might actually never even get to that because virtual reality might get to a point where they have, you know, they have these haptic feedbacks.

02:02:55.000 It's like you were talking about with the guns getting zapped.

02:02:57.000 But I think they're going to get to a neural interface where they're going to be able to recreate the sensations.

02:03:04.000 Like if they can figure out- Talking about pacifying a society.

02:03:09.000 Right?

02:03:09.000 Well, that's The Matrix.

02:03:10.000 I mean, what's crazy about The Matrix is when the movie first came out, which is like, when was it?

02:03:16.000 It was in the 90s, correct?

02:03:18.000 99. So when the movie first came out, we're like, we were fascinated by it, like, whoa, cool.

02:03:24.000 But it was pure science fiction.

02:03:26.000 Yeah.

02:03:27.000 Not even close, right?

02:03:28.000 Now, you watch The Matrix 1 now, you're like, how far off are we?

02:03:33.000 Not that far.

02:03:35.000 Within our lifetime, I expect there to be a dilemma where people do not want to go outside, they only want to lock into a thing and experience a fake life.

02:03:43.000 I like the real.

02:03:45.000 Yeah, for now.

02:03:46.000 I like the real.

02:03:46.000 No, I mean, that's just how I'm built.

02:03:48.000 Right, but do you think that, like, I mean, I also like talking to people on the phone, right?

02:03:53.000 I don't.

02:03:54.000 I don't want to have to go somewhere to talk to someone.

02:03:56.000 If I have a friend who lives in California, I like to be able to call him up.

02:03:58.000 Hey, what's going on?

02:04:00.000 So, I'm weird.

02:04:02.000 So, when it comes to my friends, I'll throw on AirPods, talk to them on the phone all day long, right?

02:04:07.000 When it comes to women, I prefer to be in person. 1.00

02:04:10.000 Interesting.

02:04:11.000 Why is that?

02:04:12.000 I don't know.

02:04:13.000 I've yet to really, truly understand it, but if I'm going to engage with a woman, I'd rather prefer it to be in person, face-to-face. 0.97

02:04:18.000 Well, that makes sense because there's no misconstruing what you're saying.

02:04:22.000 Text is the weirdest.

02:04:24.000 You could text someone something and they don't know if you're joking.

02:04:27.000 Yeah.

02:04:28.000 And I don't really care too much for excessive texting back and forth.

02:04:34.000 Largely because, one, I'm just so busy, so it's hard for me to stay in the moment of the conversation.

02:04:39.000 And then what will happen too sometimes is if, and this is just general purpose, not even just women, but I will forget to go back and respond.

02:04:47.000 Because if you send me something that requires an extensive explanation, I don't want to just give you a half-assed answer right then and there.

02:04:52.000 So I'll wait.

02:04:53.000 And then sometimes I'll just forget to go back.

02:04:56.000 Yeah, dude, I have to change my phone number.

02:04:59.000 I have so many texts that I can't respond to.

02:05:01.000 I'm going to check my phone right now.

02:05:02.000 I'll tell you how many texts that I have.

02:05:04.000 What does it say here?

02:05:06.000 I have 96 texts.

02:05:08.000 Look at that.

02:05:09.000 Not bullshitting.

02:05:11.000 96. What do you got?

02:05:14.000 430. Jesus.

02:05:16.000 433?

02:05:17.000 Well, you're just delinquent.

02:05:19.000 Look at the emails.

02:05:21.000 How's that?

02:05:21.000 That's insane.

02:05:22.000 Oh my God.

02:05:24.000 How do you have so many people texting you?

02:05:26.000 Dude.

02:05:27.000 You have no idea who's texted you.

02:05:30.000 Do you just give that up to random people?

02:05:32.000 No.

02:05:33.000 The funny thing is, so what happened is, this was supposed to be the business phone.

02:05:37.000 And so this is my personal.

02:05:39.000 So what happened is, I didn't realize, I don't remember this number.

02:05:42.000 So when people would ask me who I would normally give the business phone to...

02:05:47.000 I would just err on the side of, my default would just go, okay, here, take this number.

02:05:50.000 That's funny.

02:05:51.000 Yeah, so now they're basically contaminated.

02:05:54.000 I have a general rule that when I remember my phone number, that's when I change it.

02:05:58.000 Okay.

02:05:59.000 Because I never know my number.

02:06:01.000 I've gone places, they go, what's your phone number?

02:06:02.000 I don't know.

02:06:05.000 I don't want to know.

02:06:06.000 I can remember my wife's number.

02:06:07.000 I can remember my daughter's numbers.

02:06:10.000 I can remember a couple of my friends' numbers, and that's it.

02:06:12.000 The only numbers I know is my mom and my aunt.

02:06:15.000 Memorized.

02:06:16.000 That's the only numbers I know.

02:06:17.000 I used to be a wizard with phone numbers.

02:06:19.000 Yeah.

02:06:19.000 Well, because you had to be.

02:06:20.000 Yes, man.

02:06:21.000 I was so good at it.

02:06:22.000 I could remember booking agents and comedy clubs and friends and... 0.99

02:06:27.000 I remember my fucking number from high school, you know? 0.97

02:06:32.000 My home number, but now it's like... 0.99

02:06:35.000 Yeah, it's a wrap.

02:06:37.000 I can't remember it at all.

02:06:38.000 But isn't it just like what you need to remember?

02:06:41.000 You don't need to remember it anymore, so you just don't.

02:06:43.000 Don't.

02:06:45.000 It's kind of like getting around now.

02:06:47.000 Right.

02:06:48.000 Navigation.

02:06:49.000 I legit do not know how I was able to get around without navigation.

02:06:53.000 I still navigate to my house in the city that I live in.

02:06:57.000 Isn't that wild? 0.97

02:06:58.000 But it's also good if you're using something like Waze, because it tells you if shit goes sideways. 0.96

02:07:04.000 Like, I see people hitting blinkers.

02:07:06.000 I'm like, oh, these people are on Waze, too.

02:07:08.000 They're going off on these weird side streets.

02:07:10.000 I remember in New Jersey.

02:07:12.000 And cops. 0.86

02:07:12.000 And cops? 0.86

02:07:13.000 Oh, yeah.

02:07:14.000 Oh, where the cops are.

02:07:16.000 Yeah, that's true, too.

02:07:18.000 Waze has gotten me out of situations that my radar detector wouldn't have gotten Isn't that an interesting police officer I had?

02:07:24.000 Like, whoa, Waze.

02:07:26.000 Anytime I'm doing, like when I'm driving to Austin, I have my Waze.

02:07:30.000 One of my favorite things that people do is when you're driving and they flash the lights at you.

02:07:34.000 Cop's your head, bro.

02:07:35.000 Oh, yeah.

02:07:36.000 We're in this together.

02:07:37.000 We're in this together.

02:07:38.000 I like that.

02:07:39.000 I like that.

02:07:39.000 Thanks, bro.

02:07:40.000 Yeah, I love doing it to people and they give you the thumbs up.

02:07:43.000 Like, yeah, we're in this together. 0.99

02:07:45.000 I sometimes am a bit of a dick. 0.99

02:07:48.000 You don't do it? 0.99

02:07:49.000 Well, no.

02:07:49.000 So, like, sometimes when, like, somebody's, like, riding me a little too close and we're both speeding and it gets slightly annoying, so then I'll just move over and slow.

02:07:59.000 And I know there's a cop ahead.

02:08:00.000 I'll slow.

02:08:02.000 Oh, you bait them.

02:08:04.000 Every once in a while. 0.99

02:08:05.000 But generally speaking, if you're not being an ass, I'm like, I'm going to let you know. 0.98

02:08:10.000 I'll tap on the brakes for you. 0.95

02:08:12.000 How long do you think we are from completely automated automobile travel?

02:08:16.000 I don't want it to get there.

02:08:18.000 I don't want it to get there.

02:08:19.000 I'm not sure if I want it to get there either.

02:08:21.000 But I mean, like I was just telling you, I am, like, remember, last time I was on here, I was talking about how much I would never get a Tesla.

02:08:27.000 And then now, it'll come in today, and I'm like, yo, you know what?

02:08:29.000 Do you want to drive mine?

02:08:29.000 Do you want to drive mine for a little bit today?

02:08:31.000 The Plaid, yes.

02:08:32.000 Yeah, drive it around.

02:08:33.000 Drive it around.

02:08:33.000 You might change your mind.

02:08:35.000 I do miss the sound of the engine, you know?

02:08:38.000 I love engines, obviously.

02:08:40.000 I'm a gearhead.

02:08:41.000 I love a V8. I love the rumble of an American muscle car.

02:08:46.000 I love that sound. 1.00

02:08:48.000 But goddamn, that Tesla is a preposterous vehicle. 0.99

02:08:51.000 I'm not going to lie. 0.99

02:08:52.000 So right now where I am, if I get a Tesla for an Uber, I'm happy.

02:08:57.000 There's something about them.

02:08:58.000 I don't know why.

02:08:59.000 It's just the quiet.

02:09:00.000 It's just a clean space.

02:09:01.000 It's just different.

02:09:02.000 Very minimalist.

02:09:03.000 I think too much so.

02:09:04.000 I've said this about the new one with the wacky steering wheel. 0.99

02:09:08.000 The steering wheel sucks. 0.98

02:09:10.000 I don't like it. 0.95

02:09:11.000 It's okay when you're driving straight because the ergonomics of the Tesla are fantastic.

02:09:16.000 You're holding on to it.

02:09:17.000 Your elbows are rested.

02:09:19.000 It's very good.

02:09:20.000 It actually makes you have two hands on the wheel more often because I would drive with my one hand, which is not the best.

02:09:26.000 The best way is two hands like this.

02:09:28.000 Now, as I've gotten older, I've noticed my hand's starting to slide more to the side.

02:09:32.000 Because I always wondered, like, my uncle's RT driving and stuff.

02:09:35.000 Ten and two, Coleon.

02:09:36.000 Ten and two.

02:09:38.000 So I'm becoming a little bit more responsible as I age.

02:09:42.000 Yeah.

02:09:42.000 Even though I'm still 12 in my mind.

02:09:44.000 But it's not good for turning, like when you have to turn in parking spots and stuff.

02:09:48.000 Oh, because you kind of have to find the wheel?

02:09:49.000 Yeah, it's weird.

02:09:50.000 It's kind of like the paddles sometimes, where like, do you prefer the paddles mounted to the steering column, or you want them like where they're static, or do you want them mounted to the steering wheel so that when they turn, they turn?

02:10:01.000 I've had cars that have paddles.

02:10:03.000 I have never used the paddles.

02:10:05.000 Really?

02:10:05.000 I keep it in automatic.

02:10:06.000 Let me tell you, there are some cars you really want to use the paddles.

02:10:09.000 You say that, but I like shifting.

02:10:11.000 I like a clutch.

02:10:12.000 Oh, I'm talking about when you don't have a standard transmission. 1.00

02:10:15.000 If I don't have a clutch, I fucking keep that bitch and drive. 1.00

02:10:17.000 I'm like, I'm not pretending. 1.00

02:10:18.000 I'm a speed racer out here. 1.00

02:10:23.000 That's stupid paddle. 1.00

02:10:25.000 That's me. 1.00

02:10:25.000 That's nonsense. 1.00

02:10:25.000 Yeah, I'm the speed racer. 1.00

02:10:27.000 Well, you have a very fast car, too.

02:10:29.000 We should talk about that.

02:10:30.000 Now, here's the crazy thing about that.

02:10:31.000 Okay.

02:10:32.000 So, the other, I want to say about a few weeks ago, my friend, because I'm slowly starting getting into this, like, going to track days and stuff.

02:10:40.000 A friend of mine was like, he's like, yeah, I just bought a Miata.

02:10:44.000 Mianas are dope. 1.00

02:10:45.000 Now I realize it.

02:10:47.000 But when he told me, I was like, that's zesty.

02:10:52.000 It's more feminine than zesty.

02:10:55.000 Zesty is kind of a universal kind of term.

02:10:58.000 It can go a lot of ways.

02:11:02.000 And so he's like, I'm going to bring it over.

02:11:05.000 And I'm like, okay.

02:11:07.000 So he brings it over.

02:11:08.000 It's like this convertible, zesty-ass Miata.

02:11:11.000 And it's a standard.

02:11:13.000 And he's like, drive it.

02:11:14.000 I'm like, I don't want to drive your zesty-ass Miata.

02:11:16.000 And he's like, drive it.

02:11:18.000 So I get in there, get sitting.

02:11:20.000 I'm like, God, this is super zesty.

02:11:24.000 And then I start driving it.

02:11:25.000 And I'm running through the gears.

02:11:27.000 I'm like...

02:11:28.000 It's a go-kart.

02:11:29.000 It's so fun.

02:11:30.000 So fun.

02:11:31.000 So fun.

02:11:31.000 There's a reason why Miatas are around for as long as they have and they've barely changed.

02:11:36.000 I'm like, I literally started contemplating, all right, should I get a Miatta?

02:11:40.000 And I want to get it in a standard transmission.

02:11:43.000 Gordon Ryan has a Miata.

02:11:44.000 Gordon Ryan is the greatest jiu-jitsu athlete of all time.

02:11:48.000 He's as manly a man as is humanly possible.

02:11:51.000 He's got a Miata.

02:11:53.000 And he's got a standard Miata. 1.00

02:11:54.000 It's a great fucking car, man. 0.99

02:11:58.000 Look, consider me converted, because I'm telling you. 1.00

02:12:01.000 You ever heard of the company Flying Miatas?

02:12:03.000 No. 0.99

02:12:04.000 They take a Miata and they put a fucking V8 in it. 0.99

02:12:07.000 But see, I don't want a powerful Miata. 0.99

02:12:09.000 Really?

02:12:09.000 I know!

02:12:10.000 No, no, no, no.

02:12:11.000 That sounds us, dude.

02:12:13.000 Now I'm reconsidering.

02:12:17.000 Because I want to be able to run it to its absolute limit.

02:12:21.000 And so without having to worry about having too much power or having to navigate the power, I can just run it ragged and just focus on the driving experience.

02:12:32.000 I used to have an Acura NSX that I loved that for.

02:12:35.000 I wanted an NSX so bad.

02:12:37.000 They were great.

02:12:38.000 And it's only like 290 horsepower.

02:12:40.000 It's not a lot of horsepower.

02:12:42.000 I've only heard excellent things about them. 0.77

02:12:44.000 It never fucked up.

02:12:45.000 It's a Honda. 0.87

02:12:47.000 It's crazy because it's a Honda sports car.

02:12:50.000 What is that?

02:12:50.000 Oh, is that a flying Miata?

02:12:53.000 Watch this.

02:12:56.000 That car is so fast.

02:12:58.000 This is the flying Miata Habu.

02:13:00.000 Look at this.

02:13:01.000 Habu being a small venomous snake from Japan.

02:13:06.000 Why is that appropriate?

02:13:07.000 Well, because this is an MX-5 with a Chevy small block V8 in it.

02:13:11.000 What?

02:13:13.000 6.3 liters of V8. 525 brake horsepower.

02:13:16.000 What?

02:13:18.000 It's an old recipe, but it's a very good one.

02:13:21.000 In a Miata?

02:13:22.000 In a Miata.

02:13:23.000 Just listen to how it sounds.

02:13:24.000 Well, it's not to love.

02:13:26.000 I think I might have to get one.

02:13:27.000 The world's smallest muscle car.

02:13:29.000 Keep that rolling, Jamie.

02:13:30.000 What are you doing?

02:13:32.000 Oh, the music.

02:13:34.000 Look at that.

02:13:35.000 LS3. Woo! 0.66

02:13:36.000 Okay, that's kind of badass, I'm not gonna lie.

02:13:39.000 That is pretty lit.

02:13:44.000 That's only 1% difference.

02:13:46.000 Only 1% difference in the weight distribution.

02:13:49.000 But how much weight is it adding?

02:13:52.000 Well, if it's only adding 1% in the front, it can't be much.

02:13:56.000 Well, as far as distribution of weight, but...

02:13:58.000 It's not.

02:13:59.000 What's amazing is those LS engines are not heavy, man.

02:14:03.000 Because I know when they dropped that... 0.99

02:14:09.000 That makes my dick hard. 1.00

02:14:16.000 Look at that. 1.00

02:14:18.000 And it's kind of cool looking.

02:14:20.000 I actually agree with you.

02:14:21.000 That's a cool looking car, man.

02:14:24.000 I mean, I wonder how the tires deal with the amount of torque. 1.00

02:14:29.000 Look at those skinny ass, bitch ass tires. 1.00

02:14:32.000 The tires are so cheap to get though, it really wouldn't matter. 1.00

02:14:34.000 Just run through them. 1.00

02:14:35.000 Right, but I'm saying in terms of handling that amount of torque and power, I bet it drifts like a motherfucker. 0.99

02:14:42.000 You stomp on it. 0.99

02:14:43.000 Look at that thing though.

02:14:46.000 Let me hear some of this.

02:14:47.000 The grizzly engine always makes its presence felt, whatever the situation.

02:14:51.000 You're also always aware that you're in a relatively short wheelbase, so slides can start and stop very quickly.

02:14:57.000 But the Fox racing suspension, and then probably more associated with motorbikes and mountain bikes, is impressive on both road and track.

02:15:07.000 That thing looks wild. 0.74

02:15:08.000 You know, nothing relaxes me more than watching car review videos.

02:15:11.000 I love car review videos.

02:15:14.000 If you look in my YouTube feed, a lot of it is car reviews.

02:15:18.000 I love watching them, man.

02:15:19.000 Who's your favorite reviewer?

02:15:20.000 Matt Farah.

02:15:21.000 Really?

02:15:21.000 Smoking Tire.

02:15:22.000 That's my boy.

02:15:23.000 I used to watch a lot of Matt Farrow.

02:15:24.000 I don't know why I stopped.

02:15:25.000 There's no reason for it.

02:15:27.000 I know Matt personally.

02:15:28.000 He's a friend.

02:15:29.000 He has a car I really want.

02:15:31.000 Which one?

02:15:32.000 He has an Aston Martin Vanquish that he converted to manual. 1.00

02:15:37.000 That he sent over and converted to manual that I think is fucking hot shit. 0.99

02:15:40.000 You know what I want? 1.00

02:15:41.000 They just converted.

02:15:42.000 There's a company.

02:15:43.000 See if you can find this.

02:15:44.000 A company that just took a modern 2021 plus GT500, which has only been paddle shift, and they converted it to manual.

02:15:54.000 And I'm thinking.

02:15:56.000 I'm thinking.

02:15:58.000 I'm an old school meathead, man.

02:16:01.000 I love those muscle cars. 0.99

02:16:03.000 I get a lot of shit from my channel whenever I do my car reviews. 0.99

02:16:05.000 Because, you know, I do car reviews from time to time. 0.99

02:16:07.000 So I like sleek, sexy, European. 0.94

02:16:10.000 I do, too.

02:16:12.000 But I still want a Chappelle.

02:16:14.000 I want an old school car.

02:16:17.000 I have a 1970 like John Wick.

02:16:21.000 I'm a little torn about the one in Batman.

02:16:24.000 Oh, yeah.

02:16:25.000 Now, the opening scene was probably one of the greatest scenes ever for the introduction of the Batmobile.

02:16:30.000 I enjoyed the new Batman movie.

02:16:33.000 I fell asleep.

02:16:34.000 How dare you?

02:16:35.000 Who am I talking to?

02:16:36.000 It's too long.

02:16:38.000 Too long?

02:16:39.000 Really?

02:16:40.000 And it was too...

02:16:41.000 Did you watch it at home?

02:16:42.000 No, I watched it in the movie theater.

02:16:44.000 Really?

02:16:44.000 He fell asleep in a movie.

02:16:46.000 That's a well-armed man.

02:16:48.000 So comfortable, he falls asleep in a movie theater.

02:16:50.000 Well, I'm a Christian Bale Batman kind of guy.

02:16:53.000 To me, when you say Batman, Bruce Wayne, it's Christian Bale.

02:16:57.000 I think so, too. 0.98

02:16:58.000 I think he was the most believable in terms of a bad motherfucker who was Batman. 0.99

02:17:03.000 He was jacked. 1.00

02:17:04.000 He looked like he could fuck people up. 1.00

02:17:06.000 He's a big dude. 0.99

02:17:07.000 And there was a lot of contrast between him as Bruce Wayne and Batman.

02:17:11.000 Look at the voice.

02:17:13.000 The voice bothered me.

02:17:15.000 I'm Batman.

02:17:17.000 It's like, man, you're going to lose your voice talking like that, and then everyone's going to know. 0.99

02:17:21.000 You're going to show up at work the next day talking all fucked up. 0.98

02:17:24.000 Hey, man, what have you been up to? 0.99

02:17:26.000 I was out partying.

02:17:29.000 Partying?

02:17:30.000 You got a black eye.

02:17:32.000 What happened?

02:17:34.000 Well, I mean, he owned Wayne Enterprise, so he didn't really have to go into work.

02:17:38.000 Batman is kind of the lamest superhero ever, because he's basically just a rich guy. 1.00

02:17:41.000 No, don't say shit like that, Joe. 1.00

02:17:43.000 What? 1.00

02:17:43.000 Who's the best? 1.00

02:17:44.000 Batman!

02:17:45.000 Batman's the best?

02:17:46.000 Yes!

02:17:46.000 Really?

02:17:47.000 Yes.

02:17:47.000 Really?

02:17:48.000 Yes.

02:17:49.000 Which is odd, because he doesn't use guns.

02:17:52.000 And that should be the reason why I don't like him.

02:17:54.000 Yeah, he doesn't ever use a gun.

02:17:55.000 No, he doesn't.

02:17:56.000 That's kind of crazy.

02:17:57.000 I never even thought about that until right now.

02:17:58.000 He doesn't kill people either.

02:17:59.000 He never kills anybody?

02:18:01.000 But doesn't he in the comic books?

02:18:02.000 There's one where he does, and it's actually pretty badass.

02:18:04.000 I can't remember the name of it, though.

02:18:06.000 And he has a gun. 1.00

02:18:07.000 I think he's shooting his ass at Eagle in that one, too. 1.00

02:18:09.000 Well, I used to like the Punisher for that reason. 1.00

02:18:12.000 Punisher fucked everybody up. 0.92

02:18:13.000 The real Punisher was built like Batman. 0.98

02:18:17.000 The real Punisher was like Batman without the suit.

02:18:20.000 Yeah, which is true.

02:18:21.000 And he had a great origin story.

02:18:25.000 Just a soldier. 1.00

02:18:25.000 Just decided to fucking go on a rampage and kill all the organized criminals. 1.00

02:18:28.000 Because all the other superheroes were trying to arrest people. 1.00

02:18:31.000 Fuck that. 1.00

02:18:33.000 Killing everybody. 1.00

02:18:33.000 Did you see Top Gun? 1.00

02:18:34.000 I did not.

02:18:35.000 I heard it's great, though.

02:18:36.000 It's phenomenal.

02:18:37.000 So, Batman is your favorite superhero?

02:18:40.000 Yes.

02:18:41.000 There's a running joke that I, like, in the community, let people know.

02:18:45.000 If you follow me close enough and long enough, you know, I think I'm the black Bruce Wayne.

02:18:50.000 That's the exact reaction that I want.

02:18:54.000 Like, that's how goofy it is.

02:18:57.000 That's how much I love Batman.

02:18:59.000 But what about Spider-Man? 0.98

02:19:01.000 He's going to climb walls and shoot webs and shit and perform superhuman feats of athleticism and strength. 0.99

02:19:06.000 Spider-Man is zesty. 0.99

02:19:08.000 Jesus.

02:19:09.000 Okay, what about the Hulk?

02:19:11.000 I do like the Hulk.

02:19:13.000 What about the Hulk?

02:19:14.000 I like the Hulk, but he's not my... 0.99

02:19:17.000 I like it when he comes in, destroys shit, and then leaves. 0.99

02:19:21.000 Just the chaos. 1.00

02:19:22.000 But other than that, he's forgettable to me. 0.90

02:19:25.000 Well, the Hulk makes all the other Avengers useless.

02:19:28.000 Because when they're on their own, when they're on their own, why don't you just call the Hulk?

02:19:33.000 Just call the Hulk!

02:19:34.000 What are you doing?

02:19:35.000 What are you doing with your bow and arrow? 1.00

02:19:37.000 That fucking guy with the bow and arrow is the dumbest. 1.00

02:19:41.000 And I love Jeremy Renner. 1.00

02:19:42.000 I think Jeremy Renner's awesome. 1.00

02:19:44.000 But that character's the wackest shit. 1.00

02:19:46.000 Like, if I was him, I'd be like, man, I really want to be an Avenger, but fuck. 1.00

02:19:49.000 Why are you gonna make me the guy with no strength at all, no powers whatsoever? 1.00

02:19:53.000 I just have a bow and arrow, which is the dumbest weapon. 0.99

02:19:56.000 At least Black Widow has guns. 1.00

02:19:58.000 Yeah, and this is coming from a guy who's an archery enthusiast. 0.99

02:20:01.000 I have a fucking archery range at my studio, and I think that guy's wack. 1.00

02:20:07.000 It's so dumb. 1.00

02:20:08.000 I mean, I think Batman is the best and he doesn't use guns, so I guess that kind of... 0.99

02:20:12.000 But I mean, how many arrows do you have, bro?

02:20:14.000 How many times can you do this?

02:20:16.000 You can only do this so many times.

02:20:18.000 He'd be flicking the arrows, though.

02:20:20.000 He does mean...

02:20:21.000 Do you know that this whole idea of the quiver on the back is not really how they really traveled with arrows?

02:20:27.000 Really?

02:20:28.000 Where'd they travel?

02:20:28.000 Well, they didn't pull arrows off their back.

02:20:32.000 They used to carry them in between their fingers for the most part.

02:20:35.000 And they used to be able to shoot multiple arrows, especially the Comanche. 1.00

02:20:39.000 They would carry these arrows.

02:20:41.000 Who's that gentleman that has that YouTube page that he figured out from looking at old images and depictions of archery from thousands of years ago, realized that our idea of them having a quiver and pulling an arrow out and See,

02:20:57.000 he keeps them all in his fingers like that, and this guy figured out how to shoot multiple arrows in a second.

02:21:04.000 But what do they do?

02:21:04.000 How do they carry them when they're traveling?

02:21:06.000 Lars Anderson.

02:21:06.000 That's a good question.

02:21:07.000 I don't know where.

02:21:08.000 Maybe they had a quiver for that.

02:21:09.000 But the idea that they reached back and pulled an arrow every time they wanted to shoot like that Hawkeye guy does.

02:21:15.000 So basically an assault arrow.

02:21:17.000 Yeah, this guy, the way he did it, this is how they think the Comanches did it and the Mongols did it. 0.85

02:21:23.000 They carried multiple arrows in their fingers and just transformed it, or transferred it, rather, to the string with each finger.

02:21:33.000 See if you get a video of how he does it, how he shoots multiple arrows, because it's pretty wild.

02:21:38.000 Anytime I see arrows, bone arrows, I think Hunger Games.

02:21:41.000 Yeah, that got a lot of people into archery, too.

02:21:44.000 What is he doing here?

02:21:45.000 So watch how he's recreating how the Comanche did it. 1.00

02:21:50.000 See how the Comanche would carry multiple arrows in their hands. 1.00

02:21:54.000 There's images of them holding multiple arrows.

02:21:57.000 But if you can see how he did it...

02:22:02.000 Only one movement to shoot each other. 1.00

02:22:03.000 This is, he's saying this is bullshit. 1.00

02:22:05.000 So see how he's doing it? 1.00

02:22:06.000 Oh shit. 1.00

02:22:07.000 Yeah, look how quickly he's shooting all these multiple arrows. 1.00

02:22:10.000 That's impressive.

02:22:10.000 Yeah, he's showing like how this would take so much time to do.

02:22:15.000 Only one movement to shoot each arrow. 0.98

02:22:18.000 And he's saying this is like kind of ridiculous. 0.97

02:22:21.000 Which makes sense. 0.95

02:22:23.000 So he can throw these things up in the air and he can shoot multiple arrows.

02:22:28.000 See, get to the point where he's doing that.

02:22:30.000 He's doing it on left right there.

02:22:32.000 He's exaggerating.

02:22:33.000 I skipped to the end of the video.

02:22:34.000 I skipped way to the end already.

02:22:35.000 Oh, okay.

02:22:36.000 He's showing how he would do it.

02:22:37.000 There's a few other...

02:22:38.000 Oh, so he can do this.

02:22:39.000 Watch this.

02:22:40.000 Watch this.

02:22:40.000 This is crazy.

02:22:41.000 So he can shoot like three arrows in a second.

02:22:45.000 Three hours in one and a half seconds.

02:22:47.000 Which is pretty crazy. 0.98

02:22:48.000 So this is why the Comanches fucked up all the early settlers. 1.00

02:22:52.000 Because the settlers had muskets. 0.99

02:22:53.000 Muskets. 0.95

02:22:54.000 Yeah.

02:22:55.000 Did you see the images that we have outside?

02:22:58.000 One of the images is Jack Hayes.

02:23:01.000 And Jack Hayes was the original Texas Ranger.

02:23:04.000 And what he did was incorporate pistols, like a revolver.

02:23:09.000 He was the first guy to incorporate a Colt revolver, which had individual cylinders that you would replace.

02:23:14.000 They didn't have like a regular revolver where you'd put the bullets in.

02:23:18.000 But they would carry multiple cartridges.

02:23:21.000 So it's kind of like...

02:23:23.000 Like some of the reloading mechanisms for wheel guns now, they're not actual revolvers, but they're like these little push it in.

02:23:31.000 Yeah, they used to do that for revolvers before they figured out semi-automatic pistols.

02:23:35.000 But so the Colt had this and nobody wanted them.

02:23:40.000 Which is wild!

02:23:41.000 And then he figured out how to use them against the Comanche, because they had to do a bunch of different things to deal with the Comanche. 0.86

02:23:47.000 And that's the gun.

02:23:49.000 And see if there's a video on that.

02:23:51.000 That's Captain Jack Hayes.

02:23:52.000 That guy right there, that's the image that we have outside, along with Quanah Parker, who was the guy who his mother was captured by the Comanche, and he was the chief of the Comanche.

02:24:03.000 He was half Comanche and half white.

02:24:05.000 And he became the last Comanche chief. 0.99

02:24:08.000 And it was interesting because he was half European, so he's a big fucking dude. 0.98

02:24:13.000 As opposed to most of the Comanches were like 5'5", 5'7". 1.00

02:24:17.000 They were tiny, which allowed them to ride horses better.

02:24:21.000 Which is interesting too, right?

02:24:23.000 So this is how the gun worked.

02:24:26.000 So this original revolver He was the first to implement this in war.

02:24:34.000 Where's the trigger?

02:24:35.000 That's what I was just thinking.

02:24:36.000 Did it have no trigger?

02:24:37.000 Did you have to trigger it with the back?

02:24:40.000 How's he using this?

02:24:42.000 So did he have to push the hammer forward?

02:24:45.000 How did he do it?

02:24:46.000 I thought it had a trigger.

02:24:47.000 That is wild.

02:24:49.000 Does this guy shoot this thing in this video?

02:24:51.000 So he pushes it.

02:24:52.000 Oh, the trigger pops up.

02:24:54.000 Oh, interesting.

02:24:56.000 Interesting.

02:24:57.000 And then the hammer busts forward and it ignites the round.

02:25:03.000 Huh.

02:25:05.000 And so he would have to, like, break it down, pull that cartridge out, put a new one in, but it would take five rounds, and look at how these balls. 0.81

02:25:12.000 Wow. 0.89

02:25:14.000 Wow, that is wild. 1.00

02:25:16.000 I think, man, those balls are nasty things, man. 0.99

02:25:19.000 I know. 0.99

02:25:19.000 You know, it was brutal back then, man. 0.99

02:25:22.000 Just the fucking way that they existed... 1.00

02:25:25.000 On the fucking plains. 1.00

02:25:27.000 And they also implemented what they call cold camping, where they would camp without any fire, because the Comanche would find them. 1.00

02:25:35.000 Because these dumbasses would light fires. 1.00

02:25:37.000 I'm going to cook my beans by the fire. 1.00

02:25:40.000 Oh, wow, look at that. 0.97

02:25:46.000 It's pretty fucking good in comparison to a musket because having those five shots made all the difference in the world. 0.99

02:25:54.000 Because the Comanche would run up on them and the Comanche also figured out how to ride sideways. 0.99

02:25:59.000 So they would hang off the side of their horse and shoot underneath the neck of the horse.

02:26:05.000 Which is wild, right? 1.00

02:26:07.000 So they would be able to be protected by their fucking horse. 0.99

02:26:10.000 And they were also the first of the Plains Indians that figured out how to breed and how to maintain large populations of horses. 0.99

02:26:19.000 So they had the most horses.

02:26:21.000 Yeah, I don't trust horses.

02:26:23.000 How so?

02:26:24.000 I just don't like all the times I've ever ridden them.

02:26:26.000 Because when you're riding a horse, you understand what you're dealing with as far as an animal.

02:26:30.000 Yeah.

02:26:31.000 And it's just, at any given moment, he doesn't want me on here, I'm not on here.

02:26:36.000 Well, that's true, too, but back then you had no choice.

02:26:38.000 Yeah, no.

02:26:38.000 I mean, that doesn't stop me from riding a horse.

02:26:41.000 It's just that's always kind of in the back of my mind.

02:26:43.000 Can you imagine?

02:26:44.000 I mean, here we are in 2022. Imagine that 150 years ago there were no options.

02:26:51.000 You had to ride a horse.

02:26:52.000 That's it.

02:26:53.000 That's so recent, man.

02:26:55.000 That's so recent.

02:26:56.000 That's nutty, man.

02:26:57.000 I mean, think about it now.

02:26:59.000 Your Tesla does zero to 60, what, 1.9 seconds?

02:27:02.000 Yeah.

02:27:04.000 And it's so crazy.

02:27:06.000 Like, that's nuts!

02:27:07.000 Yeah.

02:27:08.000 And then it can drive itself.

02:27:09.000 Yeah.

02:27:10.000 Like, that's where we're going and how fast we're going, which is all just, you know, from a gun perspective, it's weird sometimes because, you know, people look at the Second Amendment like, it's talking about muskets!

02:27:20.000 Yeah.

02:27:20.000 It's not talking about muskets!

02:27:21.000 Oh, people need to shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:27:23.000 Everybody says that. 0.99

02:27:24.000 It's so, okay, so you want to relegate me to a musket while the government and all the criminals are using modern firearms, I'm supposed to only have a musket.

02:27:33.000 Yeah.

02:27:34.000 And then there's the argument, like, you would never take up arms against the government.

02:27:38.000 Why would you ever need to take up arms against the government?

02:27:40.000 We say that because everyone's armed.

02:27:43.000 Exactly. 1.00

02:27:43.000 If only the government was armed, you would wish you had a fucking gun. 1.00

02:27:46.000 I'm telling you, like, at the end of the day, and I was talking to my friend about this, and I was like, if you think about it, so Tiananmen Square. 0.99

02:27:53.000 Yeah.

02:27:53.000 Right?

02:27:54.000 They pretty much bulldozed right over those people. 0.95

02:27:58.000 And then you go counter that with the American narrative, say, for instance, what happened in the 1960s with the Black Panthers showing up on the Capitol.

02:28:07.000 You had a group of black men in the 60s showing up to the Capitol, and all they could do was have a standoff.

02:28:16.000 Mmm.

02:28:18.000 Different world.

02:28:19.000 You see, you get what I'm saying?

02:28:21.000 Yeah.

02:28:21.000 Yeah, of course, they subsequently passed some laws, and you can debate whether or not that was racially motivated.

02:28:26.000 But at the end of the day, that demonstrates to you the necessity of the Second Amendment.

02:28:31.000 It's not always about, let me go out here and overthrow the government.

02:28:34.000 It's about keeping it in check.

02:28:36.000 That's what it's designed to do.

02:28:37.000 Because even now...

02:28:39.000 The government has to kind of tiptoe with the citizens in the United States because they understand these people are armed.

02:28:46.000 We can only go so far with the way we try to be heavy-handed about certain things.

02:28:50.000 Which goes back to Australia during the pandemic.

02:28:53.000 Exactly.

02:28:53.000 Where Australia is unarmed.

02:28:55.000 And they were like, you can't go outside.

02:28:58.000 You can't work.

02:28:59.000 You can't go to the grocery store.

02:29:00.000 You must comply.

02:29:02.000 And they forced everyone into compliance.

02:29:03.000 Yep.

02:29:04.000 There was no threat of any real resistance.

02:29:08.000 Exactly.

02:29:09.000 And people will say, you know, well, that's crazy.

02:29:10.000 You shouldn't do that anyway.

02:29:11.000 But the bottom line is, like, you can't rely on human beings to have that much control over human beings.

02:29:18.000 This idea of the government is so...

02:29:21.000 It's...

02:29:22.000 It's this abstract concept because the government is essentially comprised only of human beings.

02:29:27.000 That's it. 0.92

02:29:28.000 And when human beings have that kind of control over other human beings, we just have a fucking natural inclination to tell people what to do. 0.88

02:29:35.000 Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

02:29:39.000 It's just the nature of being, which is why things were set up the way that they were set up to be checks against.

02:29:44.000 So we have three branches of the government.

02:29:46.000 They were supposed to all be a check on each other because they understood human nature.

02:29:50.000 It's just hard for people to recognize that when we live in times of general peace.

02:29:54.000 That's really what it is, what it boils down to.

02:29:55.000 It's the idea, like, for a lot of people, conceptualizing the idea that they would have to deal with the tyrannical, especially here in America, to deal with the tyrannical government in their minds. 0.97

02:30:05.000 And then people see that, like, don't tread on me flag, and they start fucking panicking. 0.97

02:30:09.000 Oh, you want to fucking take over the government? 0.99

02:30:11.000 Oh, it's bad! 1.00

02:30:13.000 Oh, it's bad!

02:30:14.000 It's talking to the government, the same way the Constitution was talking to the government.

02:30:18.000 A lot of people misconstrue that.

02:30:20.000 The Second Amendment wasn't telling us what we can do.

02:30:23.000 It was telling the government what it can't do, which is infringed on our right to keep and bear arms.

02:30:28.000 Yeah, you know, there was a video that Samuel Rivera put out about a rant that I made.

02:30:34.000 A lot of people got their panties in a wad about it because I was talking about freedom.

02:30:37.000 And I said essentially that every single civilization up until 1776 was a dictatorship.

02:30:46.000 And they were like, what about Greece?

02:30:47.000 They all fell apart, man. 1.00

02:30:49.000 They all fucking fell apart. 0.99

02:30:51.000 Like, these ideas are great until... 0.97

02:30:53.000 Greece is actually a great example because, you know, there's a guy named Brian Mirorescu who wrote a book called The Immortality Key that's all about the ancient Greek societies and the Enlightenment and that this is most likely due to the fact that these people were all taking psychedelic drugs until it was shut down by the Roman emperors.

02:31:18.000 Like, they came in and shut everybody down.

02:31:20.000 And the reason why they shut everybody down, because you can't control people who are tripping balls and inventing democracy.

02:31:25.000 Isn't that kind of what happened here in America?

02:31:27.000 Yeah, it's very similar.

02:31:28.000 It's very similar in many ways.

02:31:30.000 And you know me about, I'm like super like, I ain't trying any psychedelics, but I also understand.

02:31:34.000 Why do you say that?

02:31:35.000 It's just a control freak at me.

02:31:36.000 But you gotta let that go, dude.

02:31:38.000 I mean, I do.

02:31:40.000 Control is strength.

02:31:41.000 You have control because you have discipline.

02:31:43.000 And that discipline is a strength.

02:31:46.000 But there's a lot of strength in understanding that there's paths to different ways of looking at things that you just need to let go and find those ideas and concepts.

02:31:57.000 I don't disagree with you.

02:31:59.000 I don't.

02:32:00.000 You're just gonna have to do better.

02:32:03.000 Well, why don't you try the isolation tank first?

02:32:05.000 I exposed you to that today. 0.99

02:32:07.000 Yeah, as soon as you told me about that shit, I was like, yep, I'm not going in that much. 1.00

02:32:10.000 But it's so easy. 1.00

02:32:11.000 You can open the door.

02:32:13.000 You open the door when you don't like it anymore.

02:32:15.000 It'd be worthless.

02:32:15.000 I'd literally open it in three seconds.

02:32:17.000 No.

02:32:18.000 You'd relax.

02:32:19.000 You'd settle in.

02:32:20.000 You'd be fine.

02:32:21.000 You'd settle in.

02:32:22.000 I'd put a gun on Velcro, right?

02:32:25.000 Attach it to the wall. 1.00

02:32:27.000 So if some shit went down... 0.99

02:32:28.000 So you'd be lying down in the water. 1.00

02:32:31.000 You'd go, there's my gun.

02:32:32.000 There's my gun.

02:32:32.000 If things got sketchy, you started having hallucinations, reach out and feel that staccato right there on the wall.

02:32:38.000 I'm like, okay.

02:32:39.000 We're good.

02:32:39.000 Okay.

02:32:40.000 We're good.

02:32:41.000 We're good.

02:32:42.000 We're good.

02:32:44.000 I mean, that might help a little bit.

02:32:47.000 Yeah.

02:32:48.000 Control is good, but it's also, you've got to realize there's some control in not being in control.

02:32:54.000 Like, being able to let go of that control.

02:32:56.000 I think what it is, too, it's so like, you know, I'm an only child.

02:32:59.000 And so I've spent a lot of time with myself.

02:33:03.000 And so one thing about, like, I'm not really big on trying to control people.

02:33:08.000 Like, I'm very big on, like, do you, right?

02:33:12.000 My control is always kind of of myself.

02:33:14.000 It's a matter of, since I've spent so much time with myself and what goes on up here, I don't like the idea of anything interfering, what could possibly interfere with that.

02:33:25.000 I understand what you're saying.

02:33:26.000 Now, I will say, I'm not saying that there aren't things that could make that better, right?

02:33:33.000 That could help enlighten and elevate.

02:33:35.000 I just don't know right now if I'm at a point where I think the benefit is worth a potential risk.

02:33:41.000 I know what you're saying.

02:33:42.000 Yeah.

02:33:42.000 Well, there's a risk.

02:33:44.000 And that's something that needs to be stressed with anything when you deal with the human mind.

02:33:48.000 Yeah.

02:33:49.000 You know, some people have a tendency towards schizophrenia and psychotic breaks.

02:33:53.000 There's all sorts of weird things.

02:33:54.000 It's a delicate balance.

02:33:55.000 Yeah.

02:33:56.000 Look what happened to Keith Moon. 1.00

02:33:57.000 You know, there's a lot of people that have taken acid and lost their fucking mind. 1.00

02:34:02.000 That's real. 1.00

02:34:03.000 I know guys who have taken pot edibles and lost their fucking minds. 1.00

02:34:06.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:34:06.000 I know them personally where they used to be this way and now they're that way. 1.00

02:34:11.000 Gotcha.

02:34:11.000 Yeah.

02:34:12.000 And for me, it's like I hear I'm aware of all the potential positives.

02:34:15.000 I'm just like, for some reason, it hasn't reached the point where I felt like it's kind of worth exploring and taking that risk.

02:34:22.000 Well, here's what's worth exploring is micro dosing.

02:34:25.000 I've heard about micro dosing.

02:34:26.000 I think micro dosing is the future for a lot of people because the amounts that we're talking about are essentially like it's a very mild feeling.

02:34:37.000 It's not even like being remotely high.

02:34:40.000 It's very mild, mild elevation and reduction of stress and relaxation.

02:34:45.000 That's all it is.

02:34:46.000 And it makes you, like, just nicer.

02:34:49.000 It makes things feel better.

02:34:50.000 It makes the world feel like a better place.

02:34:52.000 Isn't that kind of the equivalent of, like, secondhand high?

02:34:57.000 No.

02:34:58.000 No, no, no.

02:34:59.000 Secondhand high can get you paranoid.

02:35:00.000 I remember I got high once in a room with my dog, and she was hiding under the couch. 0.99

02:35:04.000 I was like, what the fuck's going on with the dog? 0.99

02:35:05.000 And then I realized, oh, the dog, not under the couch, she was hiding under one of the corner tables. 0.99

02:35:10.000 And I was like, what's going on?

02:35:11.000 And I realized, oh my god, she was in the room with us when Joey Diaz and I were doing bong hits.

02:35:15.000 And then this poor dog, who was a rescue dog already, she was already a little sketched out.

02:35:20.000 She got paranoid, poor little girl.

02:35:21.000 Yeah, me, that's the thing, me and we don't get, I fight the high.

02:35:25.000 I mean, I haven't smoked weed since college.

02:35:29.000 And it's just because I know me.

02:35:31.000 I'm going to fight it.

02:35:32.000 It's an ego thing.

02:35:33.000 Yeah, I mean, and I don't mean an ego in a bad way.

02:35:35.000 I mean, it's like your body's trying to protect you.

02:35:37.000 Yeah, your mind, rather, is trying to protect you. 0.99

02:35:39.000 But that's also because you're a disciplined guy who gets things done, and you don't want that to fuck with you. 0.99

02:35:46.000 And I understand that. 0.99

02:35:47.000 That's how I was before I started smoking pot.

02:35:49.000 And I think also it does...

02:35:51.000 So I think there's some people who are very high-functioning who smoke.

02:35:57.000 And then I think there are some people...

02:35:58.000 Even back then when I was kind of getting a little high, I noticed that the contrast was too much for me.

02:36:05.000 So I started becoming a little more lazy, so to speak.

02:36:09.000 And I'm not saying weed makes you lazy.

02:36:11.000 I'm just saying, for me, I knew that it didn't make me as productive as I normally am.

02:36:17.000 Right.

02:36:18.000 Whereas I know other people who, it's a perfect balance for them.

02:36:23.000 High functioning people who can do that.

02:36:26.000 I'm too crazy. 0.63

02:36:28.000 I need something to just take some of the chimpanzee edge out of my brain. 0.96

02:36:33.000 That's what it does for me.

02:36:35.000 It just gets me to a better place.

02:36:36.000 And I don't do it all the time, but I do it enough and I'm comfortable enough with it that I know that there's some benefits to it. 0.99

02:36:42.000 But when everybody says that pot makes you lazy, I'm like, bitch, keep up with me. 1.00

02:36:46.000 Let's go. 1.00

02:36:47.000 Come talk crazy.

02:36:49.000 Because you can't say that because everybody has a different reaction to it.

02:36:52.000 And I'm not saying that everybody would have that same feeling that I get from it because I don't think that's true.

02:36:57.000 And I don't think it's for everybody.

02:37:00.000 The irony though is, like I said before, you're also talking to a guy who drinks.

02:37:04.000 Right, right.

02:37:05.000 And I know why I drink.

02:37:06.000 But it's so controlled.

02:37:07.000 Like, we had one glass of whiskey during this podcast.

02:37:09.000 That's it.

02:37:10.000 One glass.

02:37:11.000 Because I know how it...

02:37:12.000 Also, part of it, too, is, like, even writing.

02:37:15.000 I can only do half of a glass. 0.99

02:37:18.000 Because the moment I go full glass, my writing starts to shit. 0.99

02:37:21.000 But, at the same time, I largely drink to relax. 0.99

02:37:26.000 Right?

02:37:27.000 That's why I say I stop at a certain point because past that point, I'm no longer relaxing. 0.99

02:37:32.000 I'm just fucking drunk. 0.98

02:37:33.000 Partying. 0.99

02:37:33.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:37:34.000 You're getting hammered.

02:37:34.000 Yeah.

02:37:35.000 And so that's something that I really kind of enjoy.

02:37:38.000 Now, have I done it?

02:37:40.000 Of course.

02:37:40.000 Yeah.

02:37:40.000 And I've had a great time a few times doing it.

02:37:42.000 It's a different thing, though.

02:37:43.000 Yeah.

02:37:44.000 It is.

02:37:44.000 Yeah.

02:37:45.000 And so for me, I need...

02:37:47.000 It's because I'm so like...

02:37:50.000 I don't say like...

02:37:52.000 Not on edge, but just 100% go.

02:37:55.000 I'm always like, alright, I gotta do this, this.

02:37:57.000 When it comes time, it's hard sometimes to get a point where I'm just like, alright, just relax.

02:38:02.000 Alcohol is so regulated.

02:38:04.000 Like a glass of whiskey is consistently a glass of whiskey.

02:38:07.000 It might have a different taste to it, but the impact it has on your psyche.

02:38:11.000 It's pretty much the same.

02:38:12.000 Yeah, and weed is so variable.

02:38:14.000 And edibles, oh my god.

02:38:16.000 Dude, I've heard horror stories about edibles.

02:38:18.000 I'll tell you my own.

02:38:20.000 Yeah. 0.87

02:38:20.000 I mean, I've had wild fucking paranoia when I've gotten too high before. 0.87

02:38:25.000 But I think there's a benefit even in that, and then I come off of it with an understanding of things that are bothering me. 0.95

02:38:31.000 Gotcha.

02:38:31.000 These things that I got paranoid about, it's probably like some unresolved issues or some thoughts that I have in my head that I need to really work out.

02:38:39.000 Yeah, fair enough.

02:38:40.000 But it's not for everybody, man.

02:38:42.000 No, it's not.

02:38:42.000 It's definitely not for people with a tendency towards schizophrenia.

02:38:45.000 That's a fact.

02:38:47.000 You know, I had a debate once with this guy, Mike Hart, who's a cannabis doctor from Canada, and Alex Berenson, who is a guy who used to write for the New York Times, who wrote a book called Tell Your Children that's all about the dangers of marijuana.

02:39:00.000 And, you know, and I was on his side.

02:39:02.000 I was like, not on the cannabis doctor's side in some ways.

02:39:05.000 Because I don't like people when people talk about it like, it's only beneficial, it's only good.

02:39:10.000 I don't think there's anything.

02:39:11.000 You know, some people die when you give them peanuts, right?

02:39:14.000 Everything is different.

02:39:15.000 Same thing with alcohol.

02:39:16.000 Some people should not drink.

02:39:19.000 It's the complete opposite.

02:39:20.000 Yeah, I had a friend who quit drinking, but he would get to a point, but when he was drinking, he would drink and he would get gerbilized.

02:39:27.000 Like, he was gone.

02:39:28.000 Like, it was like talking to a gerbil.

02:39:29.000 Like, where are you?

02:39:31.000 Like, you're not there.

02:39:32.000 Like, shark eyes.

02:39:32.000 Like, you know what I mean?

02:39:33.000 Like, you're gone. 0.78

02:39:35.000 Like, now you're just like an automaton. 0.79

02:39:37.000 Just running around.

02:39:38.000 Like, you don't even know what you're doing.

02:39:39.000 And he would black out.

02:39:40.000 You know, cigars would relax me, too.

02:39:42.000 Yeah.

02:39:43.000 Which is weird how that works, because I'm like, I hate cigarettes.

02:39:46.000 Right.

02:39:47.000 But cigars...

02:39:47.000 Cigars give you a nice, like, ah, relax.

02:39:52.000 I do it probably.

02:39:53.000 I smoke a cigar.

02:39:53.000 I think the last time I smoked a cigar was with you.

02:39:56.000 Well, they're good for conversations.

02:39:57.000 Yeah.

02:39:58.000 I think they're great for conversations.

02:39:59.000 They give you this, like, when you smoke a cigar, it's just like a...

02:40:02.000 It's also like a manly thing to do. 0.99

02:40:06.000 You have a cigar, a glass of whiskey, you talk some shit, you know? 1.00

02:40:11.000 Relax. 1.00

02:40:11.000 It's nice. 1.00

02:40:12.000 It's a relaxing thing.

02:40:13.000 But it's, you know, I want people to be able to make their own choices.

02:40:18.000 The thing that drives me the most crazy about weed is the fact that it's illegal. 0.99

02:40:21.000 Because I think that if it was legal, then we could have regulated marijuana where you knew exactly what the fuck you're getting. 0.99

02:40:28.000 And that's the crazy thing. 0.99

02:40:28.000 I don't like the secondhand smoke of weed. 0.99

02:40:32.000 I don't like being around it.

02:40:33.000 However, I do think it should be legal.

02:40:36.000 I think almost everything should be legal. 0.95

02:40:38.000 And I think the argument against that is kind of silly.

02:40:41.000 Because you look at the amount of cocaine that makes its way into this country that's laced with fentanyl and people start dying left and right because it's unregulated. 0.59

02:40:50.000 That is untalked. 0.98

02:40:53.000 No one's talking about how fucking bad that is right now. 0.91

02:40:57.000 Well, one thing they're talking about is the amount of people that have died of overdose, 18 to 49. It's the number one killer of people 18 to 49. And no one's talking about it. 0.98

02:41:06.000 And no one's talking about that.

02:41:07.000 While they're trying to ban guns, like, what are you doing to stop the cartel from bringing fentanyl-laced cocaine in?

02:41:14.000 Because, and this is an uncomfortable state, and this is coming from a person who's never done cocaine in his life. 0.73

02:41:19.000 If you had legal cocaine, you would kill most of those deaths, or excuse me, you would eliminate, that's a bad word, kill.

02:41:28.000 You would eliminate most of the deaths due to overdose from fentanyl. 0.97

02:41:32.000 And that's a lot, man.

02:41:34.000 That's a lot.

02:41:34.000 You would save 100,000 lives, probably.

02:41:37.000 It's crazy. 1.00

02:41:38.000 This shit is decimating. 1.00

02:41:39.000 And it's only been in the last, like, 10 years. 1.00

02:41:42.000 That's what's nuts.

02:41:43.000 I mean, I think fentanyl started making its way into the country somewhere in the 10s, right?

02:41:48.000 Like, 2012 or 13 or something?

02:41:51.000 That's recent.

02:41:52.000 Recent? 0.94

02:41:52.000 Oh crap, that's recent. 0.94

02:41:53.000 Like, when did fentanyl overdoses start making their way into the United States? 0.99

02:41:57.000 And by the way, all the precursors for that shit come from China, and they all go into Mexico, and people are profiting, and it's a dirty business, man, where billions and billions of dollars are being generated, and they're being generated exclusively by illegal drug cartels. 0.98

02:42:15.000 And there's nothing you can do about that. 0.99

02:42:16.000 And the amount of resources they have because of that, I mean, you've seen some of the fucking warfare that they have, the cartel- Warfare? 1.00

02:42:23.000 Holy shit. 0.99

02:42:24.000 The irony behind it is, like, if you want to talk about how gun control doesn't stop criminals from getting guns, look at Mexico. 0.99

02:42:30.000 You can barely own anything in Mexico. 0.79

02:42:32.000 And we all know what goes on there.

02:42:34.000 Of course, people will dismiss it and say, well, it's not a third world country, and so forth and so on.

02:42:41.000 It's basically connected to us.

02:42:43.000 In a way that you could get easily across.

02:42:46.000 It's like the idea that's hard to get from Mexico to the United States.

02:42:50.000 Have you ever gone to the coast?

02:42:51.000 Go to the coast near San Diego.

02:42:53.000 All you have to do is swim over here.

02:42:55.000 Literally.

02:42:56.000 You could just jump in the water, swim over around the little barrier, and you're in the United States.

02:43:00.000 I mean, I grew up on the southwest side of Houston.

02:43:02.000 I know all too well.

02:43:04.000 They're coming in by the droves.

02:43:06.000 There was a number they had the other day where they were talking about the number of illegal aliens that make their way through the southern border every day, and it's astounding.

02:43:14.000 It's in the thousands every day.

02:43:17.000 So if you have a thousand every...

02:43:19.000 Let's just say it's a thousand.

02:43:20.000 That is more than a quarter million a year.

02:43:23.000 But I mean, it demonstrates how porous it is.

02:43:25.000 So if that many people are coming over here, you have to think about how easy it is for the people we really don't want over here getting over here.

02:43:30.000 Right.

02:43:31.000 And how many people are coming over here with fentanyl?

02:43:33.000 Exactly.

02:43:34.000 A lot.

02:43:35.000 I mean, fentanyl is so crazy that the tiniest amount will kill you.

02:43:39.000 That's so creepy about it.

02:43:40.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:43:40.000 It's like a tiny little fucking little pinch and you're dead. 1.00

02:43:45.000 It's nuts. 1.00

02:43:47.000 Like, what did I ask you to Google?

02:43:52.000 I mean, when did it start?

02:43:55.000 Yeah, when did fentanyl start?

02:43:56.000 It was invented in 1959 or 1960, but the drug overdoses maybe in like 2013. I can't tell exactly.

02:44:03.000 Yeah, so somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 years ago it started happening.

02:44:07.000 That's pretty damn recent.

02:44:08.000 It's pretty damn recent.

02:44:09.000 And the fact that they just put it in other stuff, you know, they put it in ecstasy, they put it in street Xanax.

02:44:15.000 Yeah, no one knows what they're getting anymore.

02:44:16.000 Yeah.

02:44:18.000 Well, what's-his-face died?

02:44:21.000 Mac Miller.

02:44:22.000 Tom Petty?

02:44:23.000 That's how Tom Petty died?

02:44:24.000 Prince?

02:44:25.000 That's how Prince died?

02:44:26.000 Yeah.

02:44:26.000 Who's on the other kid who I actually listen to a lot.

02:44:29.000 Juice WRLD? Juice WRLD. A lot of people, man.

02:44:34.000 A lot of people died from that shit. 1.00

02:44:35.000 It's a scary drug. 1.00

02:44:36.000 Lil' Pete?

02:44:36.000 Yeah.

02:44:37.000 It's just scary because it's so potent.

02:44:40.000 And there's apparently something that's way more potent than fentanyl.

02:44:43.000 Yeah, I heard something about that, too. 1.00

02:44:45.000 Yeah, there's some new shit. 0.99

02:44:46.000 I'm like, God. 0.99

02:44:48.000 It's like someone saying, I want a better nuclear weapon.

02:44:51.000 I want a nuclear weapon that blows a planet to smithereens instantly.

02:44:56.000 Yeah, that's the problem with technological advancement, is that they can create things that are better, that are already horrible.

02:45:03.000 I mean, better and more effective.

02:45:06.000 It's a double-edged sword that a lot of people don't.

02:45:08.000 What does it say here?

02:45:09.000 Tallahassee.

02:45:10.000 Okay, listen to this.

02:45:11.000 There's stuff called ISO. Isotan...

02:45:17.000 Tenitazine?

02:45:21.000 Isotan...

02:45:22.000 Say that.

02:45:22.000 Try to say that for me.

02:45:26.000 Isotinitazine?

02:45:27.000 Isotinitazine.

02:45:28.000 Okay.

02:45:28.000 Commonly referred to as ISO. According to reports, ISO is approximately 20 to 100 times stronger than fentanyl.

02:45:36.000 That's a nuke.

02:45:37.000 Yeah.

02:45:39.000 Who's out there snorting ISO? That's a nuke!

02:45:42.000 Who's out there, bro? 1.00

02:45:43.000 This fentanyl ain't shit. 0.99

02:45:46.000 He's doing Scarface piles of fentanyl. 0.99

02:45:49.000 That is...

02:45:50.000 I mean, how much dopamine do you really want?

02:45:54.000 I think people are just trying to die.

02:45:56.000 I don't know.

02:45:57.000 Or escape.

02:45:58.000 Yeah, there's just so many people in pain.

02:45:59.000 Yeah.

02:46:00.000 Which is really sad.

02:46:01.000 Which is weird because it's like we just want to sweep it.

02:46:04.000 And I'll be the first to admit, dealing with that stuff and getting to the underlying issues of it is extremely hard.

02:46:09.000 It's complicated.

02:46:09.000 It's complex.

02:46:10.000 It's hard.

02:46:11.000 However, we've got to start somewhere.

02:46:13.000 They're so eager to say...

02:46:15.000 Start with banning this!

02:46:17.000 It's like, okay, but even if you got to where you got, you're gonna have to deal with this issue, no matter what.

02:46:22.000 And so, why not take the energy and the focus in dealing with that?

02:46:27.000 How do you deal with it, though?

02:46:29.000 Like, what would be the move to stop fentanyl from getting into this country?

02:46:32.000 I mean, the real hard truth is, people don't want fentanyl.

02:46:36.000 That's not what they want.

02:46:38.000 They want to get high, and they want to get high in a way where...

02:46:41.000 You know who Dr. Carl Hart is?

02:46:45.000 I've had him on my podcast several times, and he's a brilliant professor at Columbia who also does drugs.

02:46:54.000 He talks openly about it.

02:46:55.000 I mean, he looks like a guy who does drugs.

02:46:56.000 He's got dreads. 0.99

02:46:57.000 But he's brilliant, and he's unusual in the fact that he was a clean, straight-laced research professor who, upon His examination of these drugs in a research setting started realizing that our ideas of them were completely exaggerated and screwed and he enjoys heroin but he'll snort a little bit of it and like have great conversations and have a wonderful time with his wife and but he talks bravely about it where like if you're a fucking professor 0.99

02:47:28.000 at a university like who the fuck is out there talking about doing schedule one drugs yeah I mean, look, I'm not at all near anywhere that shit, but I mean... 0.98

02:47:37.000 Coffee, yeah, yeah. 1.00

02:47:39.000 Like, I know how I feel when I drink this shit in the morning. 1.00

02:47:41.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:47:41.000 So, I can't really judge someone who does that, personally. 0.99

02:47:45.000 Well, I've never done heroin either, but I get it.

02:47:48.000 I understand what he's saying.

02:47:51.000 And he's talking about how if we did have access to clean cocaine, where it was just cocaine, which very few people have.

02:47:59.000 Everything's stepped on and weird.

02:48:01.000 You would have an understanding of what it is.

02:48:04.000 It's way better for you than alcohol, probably.

02:48:07.000 I mean, I don't know.

02:48:10.000 I'm no fool to understand what the abuse of this can do.

02:48:13.000 I mean, so...

02:48:14.000 Like I said, everybody has their vices.

02:48:17.000 And some people can handle their vices better than others.

02:48:20.000 And so that's why for me, I'm not really big on the make all drugs illegal bandwagon. 1.00

02:48:26.000 No, that's stupid. 0.99

02:48:27.000 But who's to say? 1.00

02:48:28.000 I always use this analogy.

02:48:30.000 There was only three people on Earth, you, me, and Jamie.

02:48:33.000 And then Jamie decided, alcohol should be illegal.

02:48:36.000 We're going to lock you all up. 0.99

02:48:37.000 And we'd be like, what the What the fuck are you talking about, dude? 1.00

02:48:39.000 And Jamie wants to put us in a cage because we drink alcohol. 0.99

02:48:41.000 That would be crazy.

02:48:42.000 Well, why is it?

02:48:43.000 Because the real numbers of people that want it to be illegal, that enforce it, are so small in comparison to the general population.

02:48:51.000 It's literally creating an economy that is more destructive than the actual drug itself.

02:48:55.000 Right.

02:48:56.000 And you're propping up murderers. 1.00

02:48:57.000 You're propping up this fucking cartel violence. 1.00

02:49:00.000 That's what I'm getting at. 1.00

02:49:01.000 It's crazy.

02:49:03.000 It doesn't work.

02:49:03.000 Like, a lot of the violence in the inner city is driven by the narco economy that exists there.

02:49:09.000 Exactly.

02:49:09.000 But how would you ever transition to making it legal?

02:49:13.000 It's like, once that genie's out of the bottle, how do you put it back in?

02:49:17.000 How would you ever...

02:49:18.000 Does it really matter?

02:49:21.000 It's already out of...

02:49:22.000 It's out there as is.

02:49:24.000 Right, but if someone's child died of an overdose because they made cocaine legal and they just started doing cocaine, they had a heart attack and died, you'd be like, blood is on your hands.

02:49:34.000 I'm like, are you sure?

02:49:36.000 Because it's not like it's hard to get it now.

02:49:37.000 We would have to have that kind of really uncomfortable conversation.

02:49:40.000 Take chocolate overdose on this.

02:49:42.000 It's pretty hard over.

02:49:43.000 I mean, that's not hard to overdose on alcohol.

02:49:44.000 I shouldn't say that, but if you don't know what you're doing...

02:49:46.000 I see what you mean.

02:49:46.000 Yeah, I mean, there's a quantity level of consumption that's required to know you to get to that point.

02:49:51.000 And you can always throw up.

02:49:52.000 Yeah.

02:49:53.000 It's like, I don't think it's an easy solution.

02:49:56.000 I think making drugs legal would be a very difficult growing period or learning period.

02:50:05.000 Because even me...

02:50:07.000 I'm more apathetic to whether or not they should be legal.

02:50:12.000 That's kind of where I stand.

02:50:14.000 I'm kind of just apathetic to it.

02:50:16.000 Because largely, I don't have the answers as to how do we regulate that.

02:50:23.000 But at the same time, I can't see how destructive they are as far as being illegal.

02:50:30.000 Right.

02:50:30.000 And the economies that are created around it because of the illegality.

02:50:35.000 It's no different than when we were dealing with the prohibition of alcohol. 0.99

02:50:39.000 Well, that's what made all the fucking mafia guys rich. 0.97

02:50:42.000 For Christ's sake, that's where we got the genesis of our modern-day gun laws. 0.99

02:50:46.000 Really?

02:50:47.000 Yeah, because of the violence that was taking place during that time period.

02:50:51.000 That's why fool autos are borderline illegal for any of us to own.

02:50:56.000 Because of what was happening during that time period. 0.99

02:50:58.000 No shit. 0.99

02:50:59.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:51:00.000 Huh.

02:51:01.000 Well, it makes sense.

02:51:02.000 They had those old ones with the circle thing, the circle magazine.

02:51:08.000 Yeah, that is a wild time when you think about the amount of money that was transferred to illegal organizations just because people wanted alcohol and the government had designed...

02:51:19.000 What was the genesis of that?

02:51:20.000 Like, who decided that alcohol should be illegal?

02:51:23.000 And how'd they pull that off?

02:51:25.000 Because it was only illegal in America, right?

02:51:27.000 It wasn't illegal in Europe, was it?

02:51:28.000 I don't think so.

02:51:30.000 I remember watching a documentary about this and I forgot everything.

02:51:32.000 I've looked into this too a few times.

02:51:33.000 Temperance movement, they tried to start it a few times and it didn't really take hold.

02:51:38.000 And then somewhere in Ohio that it clicked.

02:51:42.000 Oh, it was Ohio.

02:51:43.000 All roads lead to Ohio.

02:51:44.000 Yeah, there's a spot called Temperance Row.

02:51:46.000 You can still go visit the area.

02:51:47.000 But when I looked into that, I found out it wasn't just happening there.

02:51:49.000 It was happening in a few places.

02:51:51.000 I don't know if it was a religious thing or a political thing, but it was one of the two, which could have been at that time the same thing.

02:51:56.000 Yeah.

02:51:56.000 Right.

02:51:57.000 Well, people were just kind of dumb back then, too, in terms of the repercussions of things. 0.97

02:52:03.000 They had no idea. 0.97

02:52:04.000 They probably thought they were going to make a better society.

02:52:06.000 We're going to build a better society.

02:52:07.000 There's an oversimplification of things.

02:52:09.000 And I think, too, to a certain degree, especially when we talk about the gun stuff, too, I think we create the problems because we're always looking to our leaders to give us oversimplified solutions to complex issues.

02:52:22.000 And we don't give them the leeway to try to figure it out.

02:52:25.000 We want the answers now.

02:52:26.000 So we kind of almost, to a certain degree, force them to say, let me grab on to the easiest, most visible way to say I'm solving this solution so they can get off my back.

02:52:36.000 Or I can look like I'm not incompetent.

02:52:39.000 Because we want our solutions now, we want them fast, and we want them easy.

02:52:43.000 And that's, I think, the major problem that we're having in terms of our dynamic and relationship with our leaders and the public as a whole.

02:52:50.000 It's because we always want an oversimplified solution to very complex problems.

02:52:55.000 And we don't give them enough time.

02:52:57.000 We don't even give ourselves enough time to work through the problem.

02:53:01.000 We just don't.

02:53:02.000 We have so many unresolved, super complex problems in this country, too, like extreme poverty, what's happening in certain inner cities like the South Side of Chicago, like Detroit, Baltimore.

02:53:15.000 There's many of them that you could point to that have never changed.

02:53:19.000 They're the same as they were decades ago.

02:53:21.000 If anything, they've gotten worse, and there's no effort to really have a compromise.

02:53:27.000 Superficial stuff.

02:53:28.000 Superficial.

02:53:29.000 Oh, we're going to be tougher on crime. 0.99

02:53:31.000 When Ukraine rolls around, we've got all the fucking hands on deck. 0.99

02:53:35.000 It's wild. 1.00

02:53:36.000 And we send guns and shit to our friends. 1.00

02:53:39.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:53:40.000 Fucking missiles and shit. 1.00

02:53:41.000 People of America? 1.00

02:53:42.000 No, no, no, no, no.

02:53:43.000 We're not giving you guns so that you can hold us accountable.

02:53:46.000 Right.

02:53:46.000 And also, it's like, what are we doing?

02:53:49.000 What is happening over there?

02:53:50.000 How is this going to escalate? 0.97

02:53:54.000 I'm fucking terrified that this could escalate to nuclear war. 0.99

02:53:58.000 Terrified. 0.98

02:53:58.000 I mean, I just did a video about Taiwan. 0.98

02:54:03.000 Yeah.

02:54:12.000 Yeah.

02:54:14.000 Yeah.

02:54:16.000 Yeah.

02:54:26.000 It was written so that people had a means to check potential tyrannical government, foreign or domestic.

02:54:31.000 Right, because they came from a tyrannical government.

02:54:34.000 And that's why this country was foreign. 1.00

02:54:36.000 Exactly.

02:54:37.000 And people, I hear this argument all the time.

02:54:39.000 They're like, well, I was talking about the militia.

02:54:41.000 And I'm like, let's say that, just take it outside of the political realm.

02:54:46.000 It makes no sense.

02:54:48.000 If the purpose that it was written was to allow the people to have the ability to check a potential tyrannical government, domestic or foreign, why would they write in the Constitution telling the government that they have the ability to own firearms?

02:55:05.000 It makes no sense.

02:55:06.000 Right.

02:55:20.000 Right.

02:55:20.000 That makes no sense.

02:55:21.000 Doesn't make any sense.

02:55:22.000 Doesn't make any sense at all.

02:55:23.000 No.

02:55:23.000 So I find it odd when people try to make this argument.

02:55:26.000 And I'm like, just even on the intellectual level, right?

02:55:29.000 There's the operative clause and then the operative clause and the prefatory clause.

02:55:33.000 People don't understand how that works.

02:55:35.000 It's like they're basically saying, in the beginning of the statement, a well-regulated militia being necessary to secure the free state.

02:55:43.000 This is why we're about to say what we're about to say after this.

02:55:46.000 Right.

02:55:47.000 The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed because we understand that a militia, which is comprised of the people, is needed in order to protect the security of the state which is created. 1.00

02:55:57.000 Yeah, and when they say that's when people had muskets, yeah, the government too, you fuck. 0.99

02:56:02.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.99

02:56:02.000 Yeah, the government had muskets back then too. 0.99

02:56:04.000 And it was the top of the top weapon at the time.

02:56:09.000 I'm just trying to say that as simply as possible.

02:56:11.000 Their musket was the equivalent of our AR right now.

02:56:14.000 Yeah.

02:56:14.000 And what scares me is that people think that the people that are in the military would never turn on the citizens.

02:56:22.000 I'm like, you don't know people.

02:56:23.000 People, you don't.

02:56:24.000 They could other people so easily.

02:56:26.000 They could decide that those people that are against them are the enemy and the enemy of the state and the enemy of the government.

02:56:31.000 Who did, like, Tiananmen Square.

02:56:32.000 And always I say Tiananmen Square is because I just recently watched a video about it again because I was just refreshing my brain about it.

02:56:37.000 Who do you think the people were who came in and killed the people who were protesting?

02:56:42.000 It was the military.

02:56:45.000 The same military.

02:56:46.000 There was a video of a girl, woman, by the way, who was talking about taking arms up against the people.

02:56:55.000 And this was about lockdowns during COVID. And she was talking about, if you don't think that I would take arms against you and shoot you, That you're crazy. 1.00

02:57:05.000 I saw that. 1.00

02:57:05.000 You see that video? 1.00

02:57:05.000 I'm like, bitch, are you out of your fucking mind? 1.00

02:57:08.000 Like, what a weird power trip you're on. 1.00

02:57:10.000 You're talking about shooting people that don't want to get vaccinated?

02:57:13.000 Think about that.

02:57:14.000 Wild.

02:57:14.000 Yeah.

02:57:15.000 And then you're going to tell me that I'm supposed to trust the government to protect me without firearms.

02:57:19.000 Yeah.

02:57:37.000 It's for the people to have firearms too.

02:57:41.000 But we still have this problem with mass shooting. 0.98

02:57:44.000 So what the fuck is the solution to temper that, to stop that, to mitigate that, to do something to keep evil, destroyed, disturbed people from getting their hands on guns. 0.98

02:57:56.000 So let's put things in the framework of the reality we are in. 0.99

02:58:01.000 The vast majority of the people who are committing mass shootings are getting their guns legally.

02:58:05.000 It's not like they're getting them off the streets legally.

02:58:07.000 They're getting them legally.

02:58:08.000 And the way they're able to get them legally is because they're passing background checks.

02:58:12.000 The vast majority of mass shooters pass background checks to get their guns.

02:58:15.000 They're passing background checks because they don't have criminal history.

02:58:18.000 They don't.

02:58:19.000 So, if you're just going to look at this from a gun control perspective, your only option is to ban guns.

02:58:27.000 That is your only option.

02:58:28.000 If you're only going to look at this from a gun control perspective, because we already have everything in place to prevent this.

02:58:34.000 We have background checks.

02:58:35.000 They're passing them, right?

02:58:37.000 So they're passing background checks because they don't have criminal histories and they're getting these guns and they're committing violence.

02:58:43.000 In any event that they do have a history that could have prevented them from doing it, the system failed.

02:58:48.000 The Charleston shooter, he shouldn't have never had the gun.

02:58:51.000 But the way the system was executed, the way they conducted the background check, there was a mistake.

02:58:57.000 He's got his hands on a gun.

02:58:58.000 What, are you going to make the background check more back-checkier?

02:59:00.000 No, because the system is run by humans that are inherently flawed.

02:59:04.000 So what do we do when the system breaks down even though we have things in place to stop it?

02:59:09.000 You have to be in a position to deal with the threat immediately.

02:59:14.000 Nobody likes that because the idea of self-defense in the moment is ugly.

02:59:18.000 It's nasty. 0.99

02:59:19.000 It sucks. 1.00

02:59:21.000 You fight. 1.00

02:59:23.000 You understand what that's like.

02:59:25.000 At the end of the day, first and foremost, you need to put yourself in a position to protect yourself and stop it immediately.

02:59:31.000 Then we can start working our way towards, alright, how do we deal with the even more complex issues?

02:59:36.000 Because telling me that I just can't own this gun or that gun or this gun... 1.00

02:59:40.000 It's lunacy and it's moronic. 0.99

02:59:41.000 We have over 400 million guns in this country. 0.98

02:59:43.000 You think you're going to write a law that says we're not allowed to have AR-15s anymore and now you're no longer going to see mass shootings where AR-15s are involved?

02:59:50.000 Doesn't make sense.

02:59:51.000 And then even if you do, AR-15s make up less than a fraction of the guns used in actual gun deaths.

02:59:58.000 So what is the solution if these people are passing background checks and they are getting guns legally and they're still committing these horrific mass murders?

03:00:06.000 What's the solution?

03:00:07.000 The solution is to empower the people to stop them when they show up.

03:00:11.000 That's it?

03:00:12.000 You think that's it?

03:00:13.000 Well, think about it.

03:00:14.000 There's no mental health solution.

03:00:16.000 There's nothing we can do in terms of...

03:00:18.000 So from a mental health perspective, we can have the conversation about what type of evaluation would take place that would preclude some...

03:00:26.000 Like, what type of diagnosis would be required to preclude somebody from their Second Amendment right to own a firearm, even though they've actually never committed a crime?

03:00:35.000 That's the question we have to address.

03:00:38.000 Where?

03:00:38.000 Where's that line?

03:00:39.000 So somebody who has anxiety, are we going to prevent them from owning a gun?

03:00:42.000 Somebody who has transient depression, are we going to prevent them from owning a gun because they get depressed sometimes?

03:00:48.000 Where's that line?

03:00:51.000 And so that's where things start getting excessively complicated and incredibly subjective.

03:00:57.000 Because which doctors are going to make this decision?

03:01:17.000 Right?

03:01:18.000 Right.

03:01:18.000 But then the whole mental health spectrum is so broad and so complicated that you're not going to get anything as definitive as anybody who has anxiety or depression can't own guns.

03:01:27.000 You're not going to get that.

03:01:28.000 It has to be action-based or potentially action-based.

03:01:31.000 If you're in the process of, say, like you can be charged with attempted murder because you took substantial steps to go and murder somebody.

03:01:38.000 You may not have been able to do it, but you took substantial steps to do it.

03:01:41.000 So therefore, we can charge you with attempted murder.

03:01:45.000 Now, somebody, for instance, there have been numerous stories where people have said, they've written, I'm going to kill these people.

03:01:51.000 They have lists of names they're going to do.

03:01:53.000 They've acquired firearms.

03:01:54.000 They've shown behavior that says that they're willing to do these things.

03:01:58.000 You can take a substantial step enough to say you are a potential mass shooter, and you can be charged with that.

03:02:04.000 We have laws to deal with that. 0.99

03:02:06.000 So I don't understand why people don't understand the reality of that.

03:02:10.000 It's not as simple as saying, well, everyone just needs to have a mental health evaluation.

03:02:13.000 Because where's the standard?

03:02:16.000 Right.

03:02:16.000 It is subjective.

03:02:17.000 Like someone can decide if you like certain movies, if you listen to certain music, you play video games.

03:02:22.000 And that puts the power in the hands of the government who have already demonstrated really don't want us to have guns to begin with.

03:02:28.000 And that's the problem.

03:02:30.000 And then there's this thing that...

03:02:33.000 When people want to have a solution, then all of a sudden it becomes political.

03:02:39.000 And it doesn't become political in that there's necessarily some sort of an interest to get the people unarmed, as much as there is to come up with at least a paper solution that makes people satisfied that their politicians are doing the work.

03:02:59.000 And I agree with that.

03:03:00.000 And that's another thing that doesn't get done very well, is putting in hate boxes, but for the sake of making the necessary distinctions of the people having the conversations, right?

03:03:11.000 You have the politicians, like, they really don't want anyone to have guns.

03:03:14.000 They're there.

03:03:14.000 Then you have people who just hate guns, don't want to be a part of that.

03:03:17.000 They're people who really just want solutions, right?

03:03:19.000 They're like, look, people are dying.

03:03:22.000 We need to do something.

03:03:23.000 This seems like the easiest thing to do because I think it'll work.

03:03:26.000 There are a lot of people like that.

03:03:29.000 Their motivation, everything about it is positive.

03:03:32.000 It's good.

03:03:32.000 They have the same desire that people in the gun community have to figure out a way to save lives.

03:03:38.000 But at a certain point, we do have to understand, we have to confront reality.

03:03:43.000 400 million guns in this country.

03:03:44.000 We have over 300 million people in this country.

03:03:48.000 Just those numbers alone, they're going to be substantially more crazy people who haven't done anything crazy than other places.

03:03:55.000 People always want to compare us to the UK. So the UK as a whole is about the size of New York.

03:04:00.000 So naturally, you're just going to have more people willing to do crazy stuff like that because we have so many people from different backgrounds and just so diverse in terms of upbringing, you name it.

03:04:12.000 So we're going to be more exposed to people who are willing to do things like that.

03:04:19.000 So as a result of that, we need to empower the people who aren't like that to be able to stop it when it arises.

03:04:26.000 And you don't do that by making people defenseless.

03:04:30.000 It just doesn't work that way.

03:04:31.000 So what you're offering is a pragmatic approach.

03:04:36.000 Solution to deal with the very real problem that we have here.

03:04:39.000 Not looking at it in terms of a romantic version of how we're going to take away all the bad guns and all the bad violence is going to stop.

03:04:47.000 You're looking at it in terms of what are the actual facts, what are we actually dealing with, and what is the only actionable solution.

03:04:54.000 Yeah, because if you ban AR-15s, or let's say in some cases, and Joe's actually said he wanted to ban semi-automatic weapons, cool.

03:05:04.000 But it means nothing when the guy shows up to my house to kick in my door has one.

03:05:09.000 All you need is a double-bound shotgun.

03:05:11.000 You can't try to shoot one off into the air.

03:05:13.000 And what was I talking about?

03:05:15.000 There's a hundred billion people with guns and over 500% of them are from jail or something.

03:05:23.000 But Joe is also a FUD. He just has a very antiquated way of looking at arms.

03:05:26.000 That's a funny thing, the FUD. People don't even know what that means.

03:05:29.000 I know what it means.

03:05:29.000 Elmer FUD. That's how people talk about people that hunt, that use bolt-action rifles.

03:05:35.000 People like you, real gun enthusiasts like yourself.

03:05:39.000 They call them Elmer FUDs.

03:05:41.000 But that's why he's always equating everything to the idea of hunting.

03:05:44.000 Because that's its only perspective.

03:05:46.000 The second man has nothing to do with hunting.

03:05:48.000 Absolutely nothing to do with hunting.

03:05:51.000 Right?

03:05:59.000 Right?

03:06:11.000 The people who are protecting Joe Biden are protecting his life.

03:06:14.000 And they also have AR-15s.

03:06:16.000 So how can you then turn around and look at me and say, I don't know why you need an AR-15 to protect your life. 0.98

03:06:21.000 You have nine dudes around you with the goddamn same gun that you're telling me I shouldn't have to protect my life. 1.00

03:06:26.000 Fuck you! 1.00

03:06:28.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

03:06:28.000 And on that, let's wrap it up. 1.00

03:06:31.000 Thank you, brother.
