00:00:44.840 Dave, we've been friends for a long time. Long time. Now, I've got a series of very
00:00:50.960 probing questions here. Okay. And here's what's going to happen. I'll read a question,
00:00:55.580 then you'll read a question. We will both answer the way that we think the other person
00:01:00.300 will answer. Okay. Brilliant. Our markers here are our two drinks. You have the margarita. Yes.
00:01:05.520 I have the martini with the blue cheese olives. And there's real alcohol in them. There is. And
00:01:09.480 it's early in the morning here. Tennessee time. Just to let the audience in. It's 11 o'clock in the
00:01:14.900 morning right now. Yeah. But you know what? It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Okay. All right. Let's see what
00:01:18.640 happens. Here we go. First question. Ben Shapiro will eventually try marijuana. I will make it. Oh,
00:01:27.680 wait. This is what you're going to say, too. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
00:01:39.020 You are right. I don't think he will eventually try the Peruvian parsley.
00:01:43.020 He will try it. And that's because I'm eventually just going to put it in some sort of kosher meal.
00:01:52.620 Yeah. Yeah. So he will accidentally try it. I don't think he will voluntarily smoke weed. But I think
00:01:58.600 at some conservative event that we do, I will bring the hummus. And I will have put in a little
00:02:06.620 bit of marijuana. Yeah. And Stone Ben Shapiro will speak at normal pacing pace. He'll be like, Ben,
00:02:12.940 you can still slow down a little, but this is much better. Man, the weed's not working. Yeah,
00:02:16.540 yeah, yeah. That's, yes. I like that. There's also the question of, he could get a contact high. I have
00:02:22.260 no idea what Clayton's smoking on that show. Yeah. I think he's beyond. Yeah. He's beyond contact. He's
00:02:25.580 beyond. You're right. His defenses. Yeah. So we were totally right about each other. Yeah. We were right
00:02:31.140 about each other. So we should probably drink. If I know the rules, which I don't. Yeah. And in
00:02:38.660 honor of Shapiro and the weed. All right. Kamala Harris will become president before 2024.
00:02:49.900 So it's not before 2022. It's not before the midterms. It's not before the midterms,
00:02:54.060 but before the end of this Joe Biden term is over.
00:03:01.140 Yeah. That old bastard isn't making it. Come on. What are we doing here? However. Yeah. 1.00
00:03:06.720 I'm going to have to correct you. I don't think. You think he's going to make it. I think he's
00:03:12.960 got whatever is keeping him alive right now, whether it is drugs or marionette strings. He, I think he is
00:03:19.120 too prideful to not serve out one full term. I don't think he's going to make it even five seconds
00:03:25.580 longer than that. Right. But I think he's going to make it the full term. Do you think that right at the
00:03:29.500 end, they take him out back like old yellow? Like that's what she's, that's what she's going to do.
00:03:33.800 Joe, Joe, there's something out there. Have you been to the backyard at the White House? Yeah.
00:03:38.440 Think of the flowers. No, the rabbits. Yeah. Think of the rabbits. The rabbits.
00:03:41.000 The rabbits. The rabbits. Okay. Well, so. Wow. I'm shocked. You got to drink.
00:03:44.520 I'm shocked, Noles. But you know, in solidarity with you, I suppose I'll drink too. 0.99
00:03:50.340 To old Joe. May he last. The thinking of the rabbits, George. The difference there,
00:03:57.480 by the way, is that I just think he will completely break down. That he won't.
00:04:00.560 In the next three years. You think he can, they can drug, I mean, think what a state we're
00:04:04.660 in in America. That your honest assessment is that they can drug him or use strings.
00:04:10.480 He almost. What about just a weekend at Bernie's kind of thing? Well, they'll just have Pelosi
00:04:13.420 and Kamala. That's basically what happened at that fake state of the union that happened 0.95
00:04:17.560 a while ago. I mean, that, he barely made it through that. Yeah. But the guy, you know, he's
00:04:22.680 got piss and vinegar running through his veins. All right. That guy, I think he wants to make it.
00:04:26.540 Yeah. All right. All right. Donald Trump's presidency was a net good for the Republican
00:04:32.620 Party. Ooh, that's a tough one. I'm going to say that. Yes. I actually want to put it
00:04:41.880 even further off. We agreed. We agreed. Despite the shambles that the party is in, despite the
00:04:48.440 split, despite the revolution that's coming and the gulags that we're going to, we both
00:04:53.460 still think it was a net good. I don't say despite. I say because of it. Because of it.
00:04:57.460 Bring it on, baby. Right. You're always a little ahead of it. Yes. If it's going to happen,
00:05:01.060 bring it on. Yes. Absolutely. Well, since we agreed. We should probably drink. Cheers.
00:05:05.460 You know, to the. Breakfast of champions. Ooh, that's salty. That's salty.
00:05:12.900 Okay. Okay. Go. Reset. Dave, next prompt is to you. Cigars are just pretentious cigarettes.
00:05:24.020 Hmm. Wow. Well. Well, your answer is obvious. Yeah. Your answer is obvious. And I think your
00:05:30.520 answer, too. I could be wrong. You know what? I think the answer is no for me on that. I've
00:05:36.320 hung out with you people. Yeah. That's still what I call you guys. You people. But I've
00:05:40.740 had you and, uh, Klavan and some of the other people at my house. Prager. Prager. Cigar
00:05:45.980 guy. And you guys all smoke your cigars. Yes. Maybe I smoke something else at the same
00:05:51.280 time. Yes. Who knows? But are you doing it out of pretentiousness, out of some sort of
00:05:55.420 higher than that? Or are you doing it because you enjoy it? It's not pretentious if it's not
00:05:59.860 pretend. And the other thing is, you know, I love cigars. Did you just come up with
00:06:03.760 that? Oh, right on the spot. That was incredible. As always. Yeah. I, I, I've
00:06:08.400 smoked cigarettes a handful of times. But I, I don't really smoke cigarettes. I don't
00:06:11.320 really. Actually, I'm trying to remember the last time we had dinner. Yeah. Right
00:06:14.260 before I fled and. Yes, I remember when you lied to me about. When I lied to you and
00:06:18.160 then I didn't look back and turn into a pillar of salt. Yeah. It was me smoking a
00:06:22.380 stogie. Yeah. You not smoking a stogie. Klavan smoking a stogie. Prager smoking a
00:06:27.020 stogie. Adam Carolla. Cigarettes. Ripping cigs. Yeah. And that. What does that
00:06:31.180 prove? So, you know, well, Adam, much more a man of the people, I would
00:06:34.740 say. Yeah. Much, but, however, I don't think, I don't think it's a
00:06:37.140 pretentious thing. I think it's just a matter of taste. It's just a matter of
00:06:40.100 taste. Yeah. You like that taste. That's right. And that smell. And you know what
00:06:43.800 they say. And other people don't like it. Yes. But you like pushing it on
00:06:46.900 them. Degustibus non disputandum est. Nothing pretentious about that Latin
00:06:52.520 phrase at all. There's no accounting for taste. There's no accounting for taste.
00:06:55.180 Whatever. All right. Next question? Yes. We should drink, though, right? Yes,
00:06:59.000 yes, yeah, probably. We don't have cigars here? Mm-mm. Mm. All right. A lot of
00:07:06.600 vitamins and things. Yes. Mm. Drink. What? That's the prompt. Just drink? Just drink?
00:07:18.800 Well, you got to figure out what the other person is going to say to that. You
00:07:22.840 understand. So the prompt is drink. This is getting very bad. So will you agree with
00:07:26.000 that or will you not agree with that? Yeah. I would say yeah. All right. Wow. We got
00:07:31.860 that right. We got that one right. Okay. All right. We're going deep. We're going
00:07:37.560 deep. That was the easiest one to answer. All right. Caitlyn Jenner is the most
00:07:43.800 likely candidate to win in the recall of Gavin Newsom. So we have to be
00:07:48.520 percent. Are we saying including Newsom? Ah, see. This is the truth. You are a true
00:07:52.760 political pundit, Michael. Yeah, I. Because the average person may not know. It doesn't
00:07:56.460 mean that Newsom is just disappearing because of the recall. Right. He gets to run again.
00:08:00.060 Yeah. It's just triggering a new election. So is it. That's a wonderful technical point
00:08:03.400 you're making. But let's just say among the. Among the non. Well, let's just say among 0.93
00:08:08.320 the non-Nusoms. The non-Nusom kids. Yeah. That's true. Because they're going to be a lot. He's Caitlyn 1.00
00:08:11.580 number one out of the non-Nusoms. Okay. So I'll answer for what you think and you answer 1.00
00:08:15.420 what I think. Yeah. It's got to be, right? Yeah. Right. So there's no question. Kate,
00:08:23.020 well, it creates this problem. Do I say he? Do I say she? I leave that to your personal
00:08:27.480 choice. To my personal pronoun choices. Yeah. However, whether he or she, Caitlyn has hired
00:08:32.820 a very expensive team of very prominent Republican consultants. Yeah. Raising a lot of money, has
00:08:38.920 been taking this very seriously. I was hoping there might be a different candidate for governor
00:08:44.860 of California. A sort of likable person with a high profile and broadly conservative views.
00:08:51.620 More conservative by the day, you might say. Are you talking about Randy Quaid? Because
00:08:54.740 he said he's considering it. Randy Quaid. Yeah. That's the one. Yeah. That's the one. I see
00:08:59.060 what you're doing there. But I just was wondering. There's still time before the election.
00:09:04.460 Knowles, as I told Candace, the idea that at 3 a.m. my phone would ring and they'd say,
00:09:09.520 Governor Rubin, there's been an earthquake in San Bernardino. Yeah. Like, what do you want me to do
00:09:15.420 about it? Like, call back. I was at the clubs all night. Right. Like, it's just like, what do you
00:09:19.320 want me to do? What do you want me to do? But that really is the problem with politics. Anyone who's
00:09:22.900 sane and decent and wants to live a good life, why would you ever want to do it? You have to be
00:09:27.580 basically a psycho. You'd have to be crazy. But you could say, like, Gavin Newsom obviously is 1.00
00:09:32.280 American psycho. He is Patrick. Yeah. No, he really is. You know what? You could pick up and 0.98
00:09:35.300 you say, I am the earthquake. I am the storm, baby. I'm in a revolution. I just don't want to take a
00:09:41.220 call. Like, no matter what could they possibly, what do you want me to do? Yeah. You'd have to
00:09:46.400 go, like, take a photo op or something over, you know, the earth that's open. That's true. But did
00:09:51.100 you hear that Randy Quaid is considering running for real? I did see this. So imagine if it's now 1989,
00:09:56.680 right, 1990, and they said to you, in 30 years, not only will Donald Trump have been president and
00:10:04.840 will already be out, but in 30 years, Bruce Jenner as a woman and Randy Quaid, the cousin
00:10:11.440 from the Christmas vacation, will be running for governor of California. To take over after a
00:10:17.400 couple of other people from Arnold Schwarzenegger. What a world, man. What a world. Yep, that's true.
00:10:23.340 So I hope, I'm hoping after a few more drinks, we, I can return to this question for you, but
00:10:29.840 you're right. In the meantime, it's Jenner versus Quaid. Yes. All right. Masks will be mandated
00:10:36.740 permanently on airplanes. Now, again, we got to be a little careful here. Mandated all of the time,
00:10:43.040 mandated maybe just for flu season, but some kind of mask mandate. Okay.
00:10:48.560 Totally. I have to say those in that we've answered a lot of these the same. You've become
00:10:55.640 quite astute in your political. You know, I, I, I've just learned from the, and I'll drink to that.
00:11:00.980 I'll drink to that. Um, yeah, that one's honestly pretty depressing, but, uh, you know, I think you
00:11:06.120 and I are pretty eye to eye on this, which is that the masks, the lockdowns, none of this has anything
00:11:10.240 to do with COVID anymore. No. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe. It is a bunch of like
00:11:14.680 psychopath authoritarians who don't understand anything about science trying to control our 0.96
00:11:19.500 lives. Like it has nothing to do with anything beyond that. It's the secular keffia. Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:23.920 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In the Middle East, they've got the head skull. And this is the version of that 0.99
00:11:27.760 for secular libs. Yeah. I know. I have to say it's nice being here in Nashville where nobody's
00:11:32.660 wearing a mask. Oh, no. We actually, you know how we greet people here? We lick the nearest door.
00:11:37.120 Yeah. We do. We do. Just for our freedom. I was wondering what you were doing out there.
00:11:41.700 Yeah. All right. Let's see what we got here. Ooh, this is good. This is good. The trial of
00:11:49.620 Derek Chauvin was a fair trial. Okay. We have to be very technical about that. The trial.
00:11:55.400 The trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial. The fair trial. And this is what the other person
00:11:59.640 would say. Yeah. Oh, don't move. Make a move yet. I don't want you to tip me off here, but
00:12:04.700 I want to think this through. What would Michael Knowles say? Wow. We agreed again.
00:12:12.620 I know. So what's your thought process on this?
00:12:15.940 You know, when the mob goes into a restaurant in New York and they say, hey, it's a real nice
00:12:20.440 restaurant you got here. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it. Why do you have
00:12:24.940 a legitimate fear of the mob? Because they're intimidating and they're making threats to you,
00:12:29.180 but also because they've carried out these acts of violence in the past and gotten away
00:12:33.320 with it. That is exactly what BLM did. That is exactly what the elected politicians like
00:12:41.060 Waters and Kamala Harris did, right? Waters calls for violence. Kamala Harris bails out 1.00
00:12:46.620 the rioters. And they did the civil suit before the trial. So they already gave the family 27
00:12:51.260 million bucks. Right. This, we already knew. Waters at the time said, if they don't get the
00:12:55.580 murder conviction, burn down the country. Yeah. And we were told, oh, the jury, no, don't
00:13:00.820 worry. It's okay. They didn't hear about it. But even the judge who said, he said, I'm not
00:13:04.640 going to declare a mistrial. Yeah. But Maxine Waters just gave you a great appeal. So he's
00:13:09.100 admitting, he's like, I should declare a mistrial, but I'm just not. Obviously it was not fair.
00:13:12.860 Yeah. I don't even have much to add to that. Like that sort of pressure. And I was thinking
00:13:16.100 about it this way. Like if you were a juror on that and you had any fear, a legitimate fear,
00:13:21.780 even 2% that you might be leaked, you know, once, once this thing's over that your address,
00:13:26.220 your name, you might be docs. Like, and especially now in an internet world where you can't keep,
00:13:29.960 it's like, it would be within your complete rational self-interest to go for the guilty
00:13:34.860 verdict. And that's how twisted justice has become. Imagine the courage required,
00:13:38.860 because it's not even just you. Yeah. It's your family. It's your loved ones. Yeah,
00:13:42.660 absolutely. Yeah. Well, we did it. Cheers. You're drinking my drink. All right. All right.
00:13:47.620 In the spirit of freedom from COVID, you know, I feel. That tastes a little COVID-y. Well,
00:13:52.440 it does. Yeah. That's, that is the vaccine actually. That was the vaccine. That'll kill
00:13:56.500 the Germans. That was it right there. All right. No, I'm up. It's my question. Oh, sorry. Hold on. 1.00
00:13:59.960 Real nice. Okay. You want to, I actually didn't, it said, I think I saw the word custodian maybe. Okay.
00:14:04.140 Well, close. Yeah. Criminal justice reform is needed in America. Well, now this is a very broad question.
00:14:12.280 That's broad. That's broad. Yeah. Okay. All right. But I'm going to take it at its broadest.
00:14:16.240 Broadest. Oh, I see what you're doing once again. And it's broadest. Okay.
00:14:19.440 I'll touch this one. So at the broadest, I know you're, yeah. I know you're going to do that.
00:14:22.780 No question. Yeah. Like, at- We need more death penalty. We do. We need more. We have an
00:14:27.700 under-incarceration problem in this country. Too many lawyers. We have, we have, first of all,
00:14:31.580 too many lawyers. Yeah. And we have BLM and Antifa. Yeah. Torched the country last year. And then at the,
00:14:40.080 that was one side of their mouth. The other side of their mouths, they complain about over-incarceration. Right.
00:14:44.240 Right. While none of them got arrested. None of them got arrested. Yeah. Kamala Harris actually 1.00
00:14:47.240 funded some of them getting out of jail. The funny part about that, you know this from LA,
00:14:50.900 where still, like pretty much where the Daily Wire offices were, it's still all boarded up and it
00:14:55.520 looks like- No, you're kidding me. Yeah. No. But the best part of the board, the boards are that they
00:15:00.040 all say, you know, peace, love, tolerance, whatever, BLM, love everybody. But it's, it really,
00:15:06.020 you'd mentioned the mafia before. It's a mafia game. They're, they're boarding up their businesses
00:15:09.360 saying, we're writing this stuff because we know if we don't write this stuff, you're going to burn
00:15:14.580 down our business. It's the worst kind of mafia tactic. Yes. Because it's too, the mafia tactic
00:15:19.480 that you like is when you walk into the restaurant and they're like, you know, I'm going to- Pay up.
00:15:23.540 Yeah. That, that, there's at least a subtlety to it or at least, you know, you're going to get a free
00:15:26.860 meal. But this is like, here, full on burn it down. In, in Brentwood. So one of the nicest
00:15:31.840 neighborhoods in, in LA, I saw all these boards up. This was during the height of it, in July and August.
00:15:36.860 And they, I kid you not, it said, they, they had receipts printed on there of the donations they
00:15:43.840 had made to Act Blue and BLM. Think how psychotic that is. There were, there were some that said
00:15:47.680 minority owned business. Yeah. Like the lamb's blood, like go, go kill Whitey, but don't please. 1.00
00:15:53.080 And by the way, these were not, a lot of them were not minority owned businesses. Right. But 0.93
00:15:56.000 because they said, please, please go burn the other guy. Don't, don't take me. We need criminals.
00:16:01.060 I'm good. I bow forever. We took an interesting twist on that one. They, it was very,
00:16:06.100 yeah. I like it knows. I would put these people in jail. Yeah. That's, that's the justice reform I
00:16:11.900 like. All right. Critical race theory should be federally banned from all public schools and
00:16:17.620 universities. I think we can both just drink on this one. Yeah, let's. You really? Yeah. I think
00:16:24.240 we got that one easy enough. Yeah. It's just poison. You know, some people don't get it because they
00:16:29.560 say, oh, what's the big deal? Just, you know, they'll have this class in critical race theory,
00:16:34.120 but then this one won't be. There is a thought that stops thought. Yeah. That is the only thought
00:16:40.380 that ought to be stopped. Critical race theory actually says, not only, you know, you're horrible 0.99
00:16:44.740 because of your race or you're great because of your race. It also says there's no such thing
00:16:48.640 as objective truth. Yeah. It also says like the hard work is white supremacist. Yeah. Being on time
00:16:55.680 is white supremacist. Like it's here to destroy everything. Like, so I don't think it's a real jump 0.99
00:17:02.380 to say that it's a thought cancer is what I would say. Yeah. It's here to destroy the ability to talk
00:17:07.940 about other ideas. So the idea that you would teach that at a college, well, that might explain why all
00:17:13.000 the colleges are crumbling. Right. Right. But I think we can both agree that Asians should be banned 1.00
00:17:17.100 from Harvard. Oh, obviously. That goes without saying. Yeah. I mean, we need more spots for, you know, 0.99
00:17:20.920 for us. Yeah. White people. For the, for, yeah, that's what I mean. By us. Yeah. Do I count? I don't know if I count. 0.73
00:17:27.700 I'm a little lumpy. No, no, no. Since you left LA, you're a little paler. I have gotten, that is true. I know.
00:17:33.120 We've got to check in with Ibram Kendi to see how much privilege I have in my swarthy skin. Yes.
00:17:39.840 Roe v. Wade. Ooh, this is actually a pretty good one for Dave Rubin. Roe v. Wade should be overturned.
00:17:45.840 I've spent my life trying to avoid this question. Yes. Now, you know that, now that's a, that question is actually
00:17:51.660 leaves open a few different interpretive possibilities. But I mean, you know my answer, but. Right. So, okay.
00:17:56.920 So, your answer obviously is this. Yes. What do you think my answer is?
00:18:00.960 That Roe v. Wade, that the court case that took this issue away from the states, that's certainly
00:18:06.260 the dominant reading of it, should be overturned. I'm going to out you, I think, right now. I don't
00:18:13.140 know if you've talked about this publicly. You haven't told me any of this privately. I think
00:18:18.240 you believe that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Even if you don't agree with all pro-life laws,
00:18:24.720 or I think on the court case, you would agree. Michael, as you know, I've made a begrudging
00:18:30.100 pro-choice 12-week argument in Don't Burn This Book, New York Times bestselling Don't Burn
00:18:35.640 This Book. Great book, by the way. Great book. That being said, and I think maybe I've discussed
00:18:42.540 this once on some random podcast because someone flat out asked me, the defense of the idea that
00:18:48.060 it should be a federal law doesn't really make any sense to me. And of course, you should
00:18:52.400 kick it back to the states, and the states should decide. And really, if liberals could
00:18:56.300 stand on any principle that would make sense, well, then if the idea is, okay, well, now
00:19:00.440 these 12, let's say, southern-ish states are going to ban abortion, if you really want abortion
00:19:05.540 access, well, then you can still do non-profits to get people to cross state lines and all that
00:19:09.800 stuff. I know you wouldn't be thrilled with that. I don't love the idea. I'm not sitting here
00:19:14.000 like, I love abortion. But you're just talking about what should the court be doing, what
00:19:17.520 should the federal government be doing. And what freedom is and federalism and everything
00:19:19.980 else. So you were quite astute on that one. Cheers to that, my friend. You were quite
00:19:24.040 astute. Yes. All right. Well, because there's a difference between your own personal beliefs
00:19:27.640 and personal morality and what the legal system can do. Yeah. What the Constitution sets up.
00:19:31.740 Yeah. Oh, fabulous. This is great. Good one. Whoever put that question in there. Yeah,
00:19:35.060 that is a good one. You pay these people out of your pocket, right? I do, yeah. Whoever put that
00:19:38.520 question in should be. Yeah. And by the way, am I ever going to be paid? Does anybody have the answer
00:19:42.340 to that? We'll find out. Conversations and not wielding political power is what's going
00:19:52.060 to save America. That's a good one, too. They're good. They're good. Conversations. Well, okay,
00:19:57.380 hold on. So I think you know my- I can move on this one very quickly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But
00:20:01.440 what does Dave think? Dave five or six years ago versus Dave now. I don't, they might be different
00:20:12.180 answers. Dave five or six years ago, I think all about the conversations, you know, but to
00:20:19.180 the exclusion of wielding political power, Dave of locals fame, Dave of political activism,
00:20:30.900 I'm saying no. You're an interesting chap.
00:20:37.180 You are correct. I don't think conversations can do it alone. But I would say that it's
00:20:44.180 not purely political power. And you kind of hit that there. I believe we just have to
00:20:47.900 build stuff. Yeah. And the stuff that they're building will crumble. That's why the idea that
00:20:52.460 the government is going to save YouTube or Twitter, it's like let it fail. Yeah, right.
00:20:56.580 Let it fail because they bring in programmers that are based on diversity as opposed to skill,
00:21:02.180 while people like me build things like locals. So I think it's more about building than wielding
00:21:06.180 political power, per se. But in the strict sense of the question, you still have to wield
00:21:11.180 some power. That's, by the way, why I never called myself a pure libertarian.
00:21:14.180 Right. And that's a, there's that constant hate.
00:21:16.180 This is good. Yeah, yeah. This is good. Well, now, you know, somebody,
00:21:19.180 they're going to call us fascists because of that answer. So, you know, Chin Chin as a
00:21:24.180 Tafoushism. Tafoushism, yeah. 0.96
00:21:31.180 Okay. Oh, this is, oh man, this is such a real point. Alex Jones is more accurate than CNN.
00:21:43.180 So, okay. That's good. That's good. I'm not even going to wait. Yeah. Alex Jones is more accurate than CNN.
00:21:50.180 Yeah. No doubt. There's no doubt. The frogs are gay. They're trans, actually. He was cautious about the frogs. He was.
00:21:58.180 What was the deal with the frogs? So he thought if you lick the frog, what was the deal?
00:22:02.180 No, hold on. There was no licking frogs. There was no licking frogs. That's something else.
00:22:05.180 What he's referring to. But there is a toad you can lick that you'll trip.
00:22:07.180 Yes. That's going to be our next game, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:10.180 So the thing about the frogs. Yeah. Because we all made fun of. The genderless frogs that. There was a study. Yeah.
00:22:17.180 And by Yale and the EPA in Connecticut of these waters that had chemicals in them. Yeah.
00:22:22.180 The frogs were being disproportionately turned, not gay, but hermaphroditic. Yeah. So they were developing both sex organs. 0.98
00:22:28.180 So Alex Jones was actually the most responsible journalist in America. He sort of brought it back to the more modest claim of, they're turning the frigging frogs gay. 1.00
00:22:37.180 Yeah. But really, he should have said, they're turning the frigging frogs trans. 1.00
00:22:40.180 Right, right, right. But even he knew he could only touch it so much. I would say the reason my answer is yes is that, first off, everything CNN says is basically a lie. 0.99
00:22:50.180 Yes. Virtually everything they say all the time is a lie. You can drink to that. And I would also say that Jones, and this is really true, I have never watched, if you took all the clips I've ever watched of him, maybe, maybe it's five minutes, but I've seen like the screaming stuff.
00:23:06.180 Yeah, yeah. But he sort of has been directionally right, let's say, when it comes to, is there a giant sort of globalist operation that's sort of taking over the world that now we're seeing through COVID and lockdowns and everything else? It's like.
00:23:19.180 So he did a bit.
00:23:20.180 So he was directionally right about something very big.
00:23:22.180 He did a bit once, I thought it was one of those crazy things he ever said. He said a lot of things that are pretty kooky.
00:23:27.180 Yeah.
00:23:28.180 He comes out and he says, they're, they're the globalist, the globalist chai comms are making, they're making human monkey hybrids so that they can do their experiments and extend their lives. 1.00
00:23:36.180 And I was just like, okay, here we go. Yeah, the human monkey, let me just go to CNN.com, human monkey, oh my gosh, he's right.
00:23:43.180 Oh no, they're actually doing that and admitting that.
00:23:46.180 Yeah, we've got human monkey hybrids. 0.99
00:23:47.180 Yes. That's it. Like that was a headline like three weeks ago.
00:23:50.180 Oh, great.
00:23:51.180 Yeah. So you gotta, gotta hand it to him.
00:23:52.180 All right.
00:23:53.180 The guy has gotten a few things right.
00:23:54.180 All right.
00:23:55.180 Which is more than you can say about CNN.
00:23:56.180 To our impending cancellation.
00:23:57.180 All right.
00:24:01.180 Some type of universal healthcare should be provided for all American citizens.
00:24:11.180 Some type.
00:24:12.180 Another, yes, yes.
00:24:13.180 Interesting in the, in the, wait, wait, first off, we're not, we're not in the center position.
00:24:17.180 Some, some type.
00:24:20.180 Okay.
00:24:21.180 I, I can answer this.
00:24:22.180 I think, wow, Knolls.
00:24:25.180 Yeah.
00:24:26.180 Well, you first, because I think that's the bigger shock here.
00:24:29.180 Yeah, right.
00:24:30.180 You would, oh no, of course there should.
00:24:31.180 I mean, there always, there always has been.
00:24:33.180 Right, that's, that's the answer.
00:24:34.180 Like, am I saying that we should have like Cuban style, you know, totally, I've driven by Havana
00:24:39.180 Hospital, okay, people don't, everyone can go in there, but they don't have any medicine
00:24:42.180 or doctors, so it's not.
00:24:43.180 It's like Hotel California.
00:24:44.180 It's like Hotel California, and you can never leave.
00:24:47.180 Yeah.
00:24:48.180 But, of course, we should have some, you know, if you go to an emergency room, but you don't
00:24:51.180 have money, you, they should take care of you, as, as we do in America.
00:24:55.180 I knew you were going to say it, and that's why I said yes, that, that, that's what even,
00:24:59.180 put aside Obamacare for a second.
00:25:00.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:01.180 It's what we've had forever, which is that if there is something really wrong with you, because
00:25:05.180 of the Hippocratic Oath, they are not going to turn you away at a hospital.
00:25:08.180 Of course.
00:25:09.180 Yeah, this was like such the lie in 2006, 2007, when that was a really hot issue.
00:25:13.180 Yeah.
00:25:14.180 People are dying on the streets, and I was like, I don't know, I walk around a lot of
00:25:17.180 streets, I don't see that happening, you know.
00:25:18.180 Well, you also left L.A., there's people just dropping.
00:25:20.180 That's true.
00:25:21.180 Between homelessness and COVID, they're just, they can't breathe, and you know.
00:25:24.180 That's true, yeah.
00:25:25.180 You make a good point.
00:25:26.180 All right, fair, fair.
00:25:27.180 Chin Chin, to being our brother's keeper.
00:25:29.180 To giant government healthcare.
00:25:32.180 All right.
00:25:35.180 Today, ooh, wow, this is actually a tough one.
00:25:37.180 Today, our Second Amendment rights are under greater threat than our First Amendment rights.
00:25:43.180 Another good one.
00:25:45.180 So what does Dave think about this?
00:25:48.180 What do you think about this?
00:25:51.180 I'm going to say, you're saying Dave says no.
00:25:54.180 I'm actually, I'm actually going to say no as well.
00:26:01.180 You're right.
00:26:02.180 You want me to go first on this one?
00:26:03.180 Yeah.
00:26:04.180 So the reason I think the answer is no is that the people that have guns are not going to give up those guns very easily.
00:26:11.180 Yeah.
00:26:12.180 That's the beauty of the gun.
00:26:13.180 Took me a while to get there, but that is the beauty of the gun.
00:26:16.180 Yeah.
00:26:17.180 The First Amendment stuff, we know people are giving it up all the time.
00:26:20.180 Yeah.
00:26:21.180 Not necessarily because it's the government right now, but between big tech and people silencing themselves.
00:26:24.180 Like, the true spirit of the First Amendment has been completely trampled on.
00:26:28.180 Yeah.
00:26:29.180 That being said, they obviously are coming for guns, but I think there's a more functional, like, guns are a literal thing that people will not give away.
00:26:38.180 I love the buyback, too, which is like, it's not a buyback if I didn't buy it from you.
00:26:42.180 And that's not really a buyback.
00:26:43.180 And if you're making me do it.
00:26:44.180 It's a mandatory buyback.
00:26:45.180 Yeah, buybacks.
00:26:46.180 That's called robbery, actually.
00:26:47.180 Yeah, exactly.
00:26:48.180 Hey, grandma, I'm here for the mandatory buyback of your VCR.
00:26:52.180 Yeah, exactly.
00:26:53.180 Right.
00:26:54.180 So that would be my position.
00:26:55.180 Yes, that is a good position.
00:26:58.180 The gun, the Second Amendment protects the Second Amendment.
00:27:02.180 Yeah.
00:27:03.180 That's part of the beauty of the Second Amendment.
00:27:06.180 But between the government outright saying you can't, don't forget, it's not just free speech.
00:27:10.180 It's also freedom of religion.
00:27:12.180 It's also freedom of assembly.
00:27:13.180 So the government says, yeah, BLM can assemble and steal Puma shoes.
00:27:17.180 But conservatives who want to protest that, you can't assemble.
00:27:20.180 You can't go to church.
00:27:21.180 You can't speak.
00:27:22.180 And then you've got the blob, the corporate blob, which is working in cahoots with the government.
00:27:26.180 Yeah.
00:27:27.180 It's a little blurry, but they're the ones who are really silent.
00:27:29.180 So you're on big tech?
00:27:30.180 Yeah.
00:27:31.180 Drink to that while we still can.
00:27:32.180 All right.
00:27:33.180 Well, to freedom-loving people.
00:27:36.180 Mm-hmm.
00:27:37.180 And to guns.
00:27:38.180 Harder to take away.
00:27:39.180 Can still speak freely and drink.
00:27:41.180 So now you're up.
00:27:42.180 I bought cryptocurrency.
00:27:47.180 So...
00:27:48.180 So this would be, I'd be answering whether you did or not.
00:27:51.180 Yeah.
00:27:52.180 Okay.
00:27:53.180 I'm going to say, you're a conservative.
00:27:57.180 You know me so well.
00:27:58.180 You like the FDIC.
00:27:59.180 Yes.
00:28:00.180 You like the functioning banking system.
00:28:03.180 Beyond that.
00:28:04.180 Yes.
00:28:05.180 Because I'm skeptical, you know, of the system.
00:28:07.180 But you are right.
00:28:08.180 I'm a conservative.
00:28:09.180 I'm a conservative.
00:28:10.180 What the hell is a Bitcoin?
00:28:11.180 I don't know what that is.
00:28:12.180 Oh, here we go.
00:28:13.180 I can't see that.
00:28:14.180 Listen, Dad.
00:28:15.180 I don't have time for this right now.
00:28:16.180 Come on, Sonny.
00:28:17.180 You should have some of it.
00:28:18.180 You with your Instas and your Snappies and your, huh?
00:28:19.180 All right.
00:28:20.180 So I am right that you did not.
00:28:21.180 Yeah.
00:28:22.180 You are.
00:28:23.180 You said that I did.
00:28:24.180 Now, I'm going to get you on a technicality here, my friend.
00:28:27.180 Mm-hm.
00:28:28.180 I have never bought crypto.
00:28:30.180 You've been given it.
00:28:31.180 I've been given crypto.
00:28:32.180 And let's just say, I'm doing quite well.
00:28:36.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:37.180 I have a bunch of Bitcoin.
00:28:39.180 And Bitcoin is worth something.
00:28:40.180 And I did not buy any of it.
00:28:42.180 It was early on.
00:28:43.180 You know, when I started hearing about it, I posted my little Bitcoin address somewhere,
00:28:47.180 and people started donating, and it kept coming in, coming in, coming in.
00:28:50.180 So I've got a nice little Bitcoin nest egg.
00:28:52.180 You know, there was a time I was playing with one of the producers.
00:28:56.180 I was playing pool.
00:28:58.180 Yeah.
00:28:59.180 And I was just hustling in the pool.
00:29:00.180 Yeah.
00:29:01.180 And he said, all right.
00:29:02.180 He owed me whatever, 50 or 100 bucks.
00:29:03.180 And he said, okay, I don't have cash, but I'll give you some Bitcoin.
00:29:05.180 I said, whatever, man.
00:29:06.180 And he sent it to me.
00:29:07.180 But I never did it.
00:29:09.180 I don't even know how to do it.
00:29:11.180 So I'm probably a millionaire, and it's, I don't understand.
00:29:13.180 Well, you have an app?
00:29:14.180 What do you got?
00:29:15.180 No.
00:29:16.180 I have email and Twitter.
00:29:18.180 Are those the apps that I, I don't know.
00:29:20.180 All right.
00:29:21.180 So the, well, we should drink to my financial success.
00:29:25.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:26.180 In celebration and in regret.
00:29:28.180 Mm.
00:29:29.180 Mm-hmm.
00:29:30.180 It's very exciting.
00:29:31.180 If I move to Nashville, I'm going to basically buy the town.
00:29:33.180 Yeah.
00:29:34.180 Okay.
00:29:35.180 Mm.
00:29:37.180 Climate change is an existential threat to the human race.
00:29:44.180 Man.
00:29:45.180 Done.
00:29:46.180 Easy.
00:29:47.180 Easy.
00:29:48.180 There's no.
00:29:49.180 Yeah.
00:29:50.180 It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, and even if it was, we'll get off this rock.
00:29:55.180 Yeah.
00:29:56.180 We'll figure something else out.
00:29:57.180 Yeah.
00:29:58.180 We'll figure it out, man.
00:29:59.180 Existential, yes.
00:30:00.180 Just stop whining about it.
00:30:01.180 Existential, yes.
00:30:02.180 It's just so boring.
00:30:03.180 I know.
00:30:04.180 That's right.
00:30:05.180 There's nothing to Bruce Willis at the end of Armageddon.
00:30:06.180 Mm-hmm.
00:30:07.180 I don't remember, but I think he lived.
00:30:08.180 Yeah.
00:30:09.180 Or at least Affleck lived, right?
00:30:10.180 Yeah.
00:30:11.180 Yeah.
00:30:12.180 And Armageddon, by the way, is a Christmas movie.
00:30:13.180 I know that that's like a big debate.
00:30:14.180 No, no, no.
00:30:15.180 You're talking about Die Hard.
00:30:16.180 Oh.
00:30:17.180 You just got Armageddon and Die Hard.
00:30:18.180 I don't.
00:30:19.180 Armageddon.
00:30:20.180 Armageddon's a Christian movie.
00:30:21.180 It's Armageddon.
00:30:22.180 Yeah, yeah, no.
00:30:23.180 I guess it's Christian-ish, but it's, they don't, I don't know if they, you know, but.
00:30:25.180 No, yeah.
00:30:26.180 Yes, that was, Bruce Willis is an actor who's been in several movies.
00:30:29.180 Oh, I got him, I got him confused.
00:30:31.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:32.180 You're up.
00:30:33.180 You're up.
00:30:34.180 Religious revival, specifically Christianity, is the only way to bring the country back together.
00:30:44.180 I actually want to be a little circumvented.
00:30:46.180 Yeah, this is, this is interesting and there's some technical stuff here.
00:30:49.180 To bring the country back together.
00:30:52.180 You're a great political thinker.
00:31:06.180 It's incredible.
00:31:09.180 It's amazing.
00:31:10.180 At least 85 to 90% of the time.
00:31:12.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:13.180 So, yes, because how do you bring a country together?
00:31:16.180 You bring a country together on language.
00:31:19.180 We don't all speak the same language.
00:31:21.180 Yeah, which we're not even allowed to say that.
00:31:23.180 You're not even allowed to say that.
00:31:24.180 That should be the language.
00:31:25.180 Well, here's a really edgy one.
00:31:26.180 You can bring a country together on race, right? 0.74
00:31:28.180 Yeah.
00:31:29.180 There are plenty of countries that are racial countries.
00:31:30.180 That's not going to happen here, obviously.
00:31:32.180 Yeah.
00:31:33.180 We're all different sorts of races.
00:31:34.180 Well, let's let, you know, if Ibrahim Kendi and the rest of that, you know.
00:31:37.180 You're right.
00:31:38.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:39.180 Then we certainly won't bring a country together.
00:31:40.180 Yeah.
00:31:41.180 You can bring a country together on a shared, I guess you'd call it civic religion.
00:31:46.180 You know, the admiration for the founders, obviously they're pulling the statues down.
00:31:51.180 That's kind of crumbling.
00:31:52.180 Right.
00:31:53.180 It can work for a certain period of time, I would say that.
00:31:55.180 Yeah.
00:31:56.180 Yeah.
00:31:57.180 But if you want to bring together, well, especially if you think it's all true, then, you know,
00:32:01.180 you want to be in accordance with the truth.
00:32:03.180 But also, if you want to bring together a country where neither Jew nor Greek nor slave nor free, 0.89
00:32:08.180 but all are one in Christ Jesus, and you have a country of humility and charity and love of one another
00:32:14.180 coming from the very religion that formed your civilization, that's probably a good bet.
00:32:19.180 That's probably a good bet.
00:32:20.180 Yeah.
00:32:21.180 So I would say the answer is basically, you're drinking to your own answer.
00:32:25.180 I like that.
00:32:26.180 You're like, I really enjoyed what I said there and I'm going to drink.
00:32:28.180 You know, I wish I had a smoke.
00:32:29.180 Yeah.
00:32:30.180 The body is a temple.
00:32:31.180 Yeah.
00:32:32.180 I would say the answer is yes to that because I think the secular stuff can work for a while,
00:32:38.180 especially in good times.
00:32:40.180 And then the second we get into weird times, such as what we're in right now, once secularism
00:32:44.180 has run rampant where you can't say boys are different than girls and all the rest of it,
00:32:48.180 that the only thing that can unify at that point is something true that is before us.
00:32:54.180 Yeah.
00:32:55.180 Something that my parents believed, that their parents believed, that their parents believed,
00:32:59.180 that their parents believed.
00:33:00.180 And we can whittle away whether specifically that should be Christianity or Judaism or Judeo-Christian.
00:33:06.180 All of that stuff is sort of secondary, obviously, you know, what's Tom Cruise, that whole thing.
00:33:12.180 Yeah.
00:33:13.180 Scientology.
00:33:14.180 You know.
00:33:15.180 But in essence, if you don't have that, and I think that that's what's happened with the left,
00:33:20.180 there is nothing that is true anymore.
00:33:22.180 And that's not, that doesn't have nothing to do with the fact that they are completely a-religious. 0.62
00:33:28.180 It's an odd position for me to argue from, as you know, but I've...
00:33:31.180 But it's a true position.
00:33:33.180 The world is what it is.
00:33:35.180 You know?
00:33:36.180 All right.
00:33:37.180 What are you going to do?
00:33:39.180 Oh, man.
00:33:40.180 I'm going to get kicked off YouTube for this one.
00:33:42.180 Oh, no.
00:33:43.180 The election's stolen.
00:33:44.180 Okay.
00:33:45.180 That's how we could, we could both get kicked off right now.
00:33:47.180 Like...
00:33:48.180 So...
00:33:49.180 In 2020, Joe Biden won more legal votes than any president in American history.
00:33:56.180 Due to YouTube rules, make your guess, but do not verbally confirm if the other person guessed correctly.
00:34:04.180 Give only a nonverbal confirmation.
00:34:07.180 So the...
00:34:08.180 It's a good thing I bring my lawyer with me to these shows.
00:34:10.180 Yes, this is good.
00:34:11.180 He's waving his hands.
00:34:12.180 So the prompt is...
00:34:13.180 Wait, repeat it one more time.
00:34:14.180 I want to get it technically totally right.
00:34:16.180 In 2020, Joe Biden won more legal votes than any president in American history.
00:34:22.180 You know, man...
00:34:23.180 But what was the caveat related to YouTube?
00:34:25.180 Do not...
00:34:26.180 So we make the guess of what we think the other person thinks.
00:34:28.180 Okay, we're going to...
00:34:29.180 But we cannot verbally confirm whether or not that guess was right.
00:34:34.180 Okay?
00:34:35.180 This is how it all ends.
00:34:37.180 Just...
00:34:38.180 Done.
00:34:39.180 I don't even...
00:34:44.180 Next question.
00:34:48.180 But I'll drink to that.
00:34:49.180 I'll drink a lot.
00:34:50.180 I've actually been drinking a lot.
00:34:51.180 Drink.
00:34:52.180 It's just a drink.
00:34:53.180 It's just a drink.
00:34:54.180 There you go.
00:34:55.180 This was a great last YouTube video.
00:34:59.180 Don't you think?
00:35:00.180 I enjoyed being on YouTube.
00:35:01.180 It was a wonderful time.
00:35:02.180 It was fun.
00:35:03.180 It's fine.
00:35:04.180 All things must pass.
00:35:05.180 I have been vaccinated for COVID-19.
00:35:08.180 We can probably tell this by the amount of cell service around here.
00:35:11.180 I have been vaccinated.
00:35:12.180 You know?
00:35:13.180 I guess...
00:35:14.180 Actually, I'm not totally sure.
00:35:16.180 No.
00:35:17.180 Of course.
00:35:18.180 Okay.
00:35:19.180 I just didn't know if for travel...
00:35:20.180 What do you think I want?
00:35:21.180 I want the third arm or the...
00:35:22.180 The tail coming out?
00:35:23.180 I just didn't know.
00:35:24.180 Because the real caveat here is...
00:35:25.180 Yeah.
00:35:26.180 They're going to make us do it to travel.
00:35:27.180 Yes.
00:35:28.180 And so I've avoided it thus far.
00:35:29.180 I've assiduously avoided it.
00:35:30.180 And those vaccine passports don't seem all that difficult to produce.
00:35:33.180 But they're really pushing it.
00:35:34.180 I mean, they are really saying you can't leave the country.
00:35:35.180 Some people are saying you shouldn't leave the state.
00:35:36.180 Yeah.
00:35:37.180 Yeah.
00:35:38.180 Yeah.
00:35:39.180 I have not got it.
00:35:40.180 I see no reason to get it.
00:35:41.180 Yeah.
00:35:42.180 In many ways, the vax people are the anti-vaxxers because they seem to think that they can get
00:35:43.180 the vaccine that still everyone else has to get the vaccination.
00:35:44.180 Yeah.
00:35:45.180 And triple mask.
00:35:46.180 And triple mask.
00:35:47.180 And still don't go out.
00:35:48.180 And whatever Biden said about maybe on the 4th March, it's going to get the vaccine.
00:35:49.180 Yeah.
00:35:50.180 Yeah.
00:35:51.180 Yeah.
00:35:52.180 Yeah.
00:35:53.180 Yeah.
00:35:54.180 Yeah.
00:35:55.180 Yeah.
00:35:56.180 Yeah.
00:35:57.180 Yeah.
00:35:58.180 Yeah.
00:35:59.180 Yeah.
00:36:00.180 Yeah.
00:36:01.180 Yeah.
00:36:02.180 Yeah.
00:36:03.180 Yeah.
00:36:04.180 Yeah.
00:36:05.180 Yeah.
00:36:06.180 Yeah.
00:36:07.180 I personally don't think that a relatively young, healthy person should get a vaccine
00:36:13.180 that was rushed out.
00:36:14.180 Yeah.
00:36:15.180 This is just my personal belief.
00:36:16.180 That was rushed out when you know that if you get sick, you have a 99.7% chance of recovering
00:36:23.180 completely fine.
00:36:24.180 Just in the last two weeks, my sister and her two kids got it.
00:36:27.180 Six years old and two years old.
00:36:29.180 They were all sick for about three days.
00:36:31.180 My brother-in-law, who lives in the same house as my sister, did not get it.
00:36:34.180 And they were sick for three days.
00:36:35.180 And they were all okay.
00:36:36.180 Should we have destroyed the world because of this?
00:36:38.180 Destroy the world.
00:36:39.180 Especially when you're talking about the kids shooting up rates of anxiety, stress,
00:36:43.180 depression.
00:36:44.180 Yeah.
00:36:45.180 I can't believe I invited a science denier to come on this.
00:36:47.180 This is very...
00:36:48.180 It's like I'm talking to Joe Rogan over here.
00:36:49.180 He's last...
00:36:50.180 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:36:51.180 Exactly.
00:36:52.180 So...
00:36:53.180 So...
00:36:54.180 For the immune system.
00:36:55.180 To heresy. 0.97
00:36:56.180 To heresy and to killing all the germs, you know? 1.00
00:36:59.180 Mm-hmm. 0.98
00:37:00.180 I'm pretty sure tequila would do it.
00:37:01.180 I don't know about vodka.
00:37:02.180 Yeah, I don't know.
00:37:03.180 Gin, thank you.
00:37:04.180 Oh, gin. 0.98
00:37:05.180 Gin, yeah. 0.99
00:37:06.180 The Star Wars prequels are better than the new Star Wars trilogy.
00:37:10.180 The new one meaning this new, the...
00:37:12.180 The last three.
00:37:13.180 With the girl.
00:37:14.180 Rise of Skywalker.
00:37:15.180 With Luke Skywalker as a girl now or whatever?
00:37:16.180 That one?
00:37:17.180 Yes, that one with Rey and...
00:37:19.180 Okay.
00:37:20.180 The other girl and...
00:37:21.180 I might have tipped my hand on my view.
00:37:22.180 Yeah.
00:37:23.180 Um...
00:37:24.180 So this is...
00:37:25.180 The prequels...
00:37:26.180 The prequels are better.
00:37:27.180 That was...
00:37:28.180 The idea is the prequels are better.
00:37:29.180 Um...
00:37:30.180 The answer absolutely...
00:37:32.180 Well, the answer absolutely is yes.
00:37:33.180 Is yes.
00:37:34.180 Oh, let me...
00:37:35.180 Allow me as a professional on this one to handle this.
00:37:36.180 Please, yes.
00:37:37.180 The prequels are excellent and they are getting better like fine wine.
00:37:41.180 They tell an incredible story about the accumulation of power.
00:37:44.180 Yeah.
00:37:45.180 And how political leaders use a crisis to accumulate that power.
00:37:49.180 And that how once you have that power, you take out the other side.
00:37:52.180 That almost has nothing to do with, you know, Luke and Obi-Wan and Yoda and everybody else.
00:37:57.180 But just that...
00:37:58.180 That...
00:37:59.180 Giant...
00:38:00.180 Everlasting story in and of itself.
00:38:02.180 Plus that Jar Jar Binks. 0.98
00:38:03.180 The Jar Jar...
00:38:04.180 You know...
00:38:05.180 Incredible.
00:38:06.180 This is...
00:38:07.180 So everyone always goes to Jar Jar is the worst part.
00:38:08.180 Yeah.
00:38:09.180 Whatever.
00:38:10.180 Jar Jar is fine.
00:38:11.180 What got me about the prequels is the midochlorians.
00:38:14.180 Ah!
00:38:15.180 They took the force and they made it physical.
00:38:16.180 I know they took...
00:38:17.180 They made it scientific.
00:38:18.180 They made it like science and...
00:38:19.180 Yeah.
00:38:20.180 I know.
00:38:21.180 I get that.
00:38:22.180 But it's your...
00:38:23.180 They're still better.
00:38:24.180 They're still better.
00:38:25.180 They're better.
00:38:26.180 They're also...
00:38:27.180 They're true.
00:38:28.180 There's a truth to it.
00:38:29.180 Yes, yeah.
00:38:30.180 Where the new ones, it's just like...
00:38:31.180 It was just a mess.
00:38:32.180 You know, I could go on my...
00:38:33.180 Like the girl beats up the big guy. 0.99
00:38:34.180 I know.
00:38:35.180 I could go on my 80-year rant that Rian Johnson, who did the middle one, he hates Star Wars.
00:38:36.180 Yes, yes.
00:38:37.180 They actually brought in a guy that hates Star Wars.
00:38:38.180 You should try to clean it up at the end.
00:38:39.180 Yeah.
00:38:40.180 No, I agree.
00:38:41.180 Peter Cushing did a great job, I felt, in the new ones, but...
00:38:42.180 Yeah.
00:38:43.180 Okay.
00:38:44.180 You think I didn't get that reference?
00:38:45.180 I got the reference.
00:38:46.180 That was...
00:38:47.180 That's the real esoteric for...
00:38:48.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:49.180 In 2021...
00:38:51.180 2021, a degree from Yale is basically worthless.
00:39:02.180 Yeah.
00:39:03.180 Yeah.
00:39:04.180 But I'm gonna disagree on my point.
00:39:06.180 It's...
00:39:07.180 I would say you're very likely not gonna leave there with an education.
00:39:11.180 Ah.
00:39:12.180 You're very likely not gonna leave there loving your country or knowing much about your country.
00:39:17.180 You're probably gonna leave confused about, like, what sex you even are.
00:39:20.180 But...
00:39:21.180 You can probably still work for Goldman Sachs.
00:39:23.180 Right.
00:39:24.180 But you're gonna get a job at a think tank.
00:39:25.180 Got it.
00:39:26.180 Yeah.
00:39:27.180 Yeah, I completely agree with that.
00:39:28.180 And...
00:39:29.180 Yeah.
00:39:30.180 The schools have...
00:39:31.180 Let's put it this way.
00:39:32.180 You know, I started a tech company in the midst of all this.
00:39:33.180 If someone came to me with a Harvard resume or a Yale resume, I would be like, why would
00:39:37.180 I want that person?
00:39:38.180 Get out of my office right now.
00:39:39.180 Yeah, I want a kid, basically, who learned how to do stuff and do it right and everything
00:39:43.180 else.
00:39:44.180 Totally.
00:39:45.180 All right.
00:39:46.180 Okay. 0.99
00:39:47.180 I would bake a gay wedding cake. 0.99
00:39:50.180 Hmm. 0.99
00:39:52.180 Okay.
00:39:53.180 This is...
00:39:54.180 Well, I think...
00:39:55.180 You know, I...
00:39:56.180 I don't know how your baking skills are, but I suspect I could get your answer.
00:39:59.180 Okay.
00:40:00.180 As I answer for you, I'll think about my answer.
00:40:02.180 Yeah.
00:40:03.180 So the answer is complicated.
00:40:09.180 It depends on the type of cake.
00:40:11.180 Interesting.
00:40:12.180 Interesting.
00:40:13.180 If the cake were, you know, Michael's famous cake recipe, and Michael makes these cakes
00:40:17.180 all the time, and then Dave says, hey, Michael, I booted...
00:40:21.180 Can I have one of those?
00:40:22.180 Yeah.
00:40:23.180 I booted Mr. David out.
00:40:24.180 Yeah.
00:40:25.180 I'm doing this whole thing over again.
00:40:26.180 Yeah.
00:40:27.180 And I want one of Michael's special cakes.
00:40:29.180 Yeah, of course.
00:40:30.180 There's no question.
00:40:31.180 Yes.
00:40:32.180 If the question were, as happened to that poor baker in Colorado.
00:40:34.180 Right.
00:40:35.180 If you called me and you said, hey, Michael, I need you to bake me a cake that is not...
00:40:40.180 I don't...
00:40:41.180 It doesn't...
00:40:42.180 It's not just a rainbow flag cake.
00:40:43.180 I want it to be like a very vivid depiction.
00:40:45.180 I want there to be bed sheets crumpled everywhere.
00:40:48.180 I want...
00:40:49.180 I want this to be a specific application.
00:40:50.180 My God, no.
00:40:51.180 Bed sheets.
00:40:52.180 Yeah.
00:40:53.180 I've got all these ideas in mind.
00:40:54.180 Yeah.
00:40:55.180 Then I couldn't do that.
00:40:56.180 I couldn't...
00:40:57.180 I couldn't participate in the artistic act of depicting this thing.
00:41:01.180 Yeah.
00:41:02.180 Which is contrary to the Catholic definition of marriage.
00:41:04.180 Yes.
00:41:05.180 But would I sell you the Michael Knowles special cake?
00:41:07.180 Of course.
00:41:08.180 Yes.
00:41:09.180 So what is the...
00:41:10.180 I don't know what the answer is on that.
00:41:11.180 So that's...
00:41:12.180 You're deep in the weeds on that.
00:41:13.180 I know.
00:41:14.180 I would say my answer is I would not bake the cake because I don't like to bake.
00:41:18.180 So this is really more of a...
00:41:19.180 So I took this as more of a baking issue.
00:41:21.180 Yes. 0.99
00:41:22.180 It's like, would I make steak for gay people? 1.00
00:41:25.180 Yeah. 0.99
00:41:26.180 No way.
00:41:27.180 Absolutely.
00:41:28.180 No, never.
00:41:29.180 Yes, no way.
00:41:30.180 You've had my steak.
00:41:31.180 It's magnificent.
00:41:32.180 Thank you.
00:41:33.180 Yes.
00:41:34.180 It's juicy.
00:41:35.180 It's hot.
00:41:36.180 It's delicious.
00:41:37.180 Yes. 0.99
00:41:38.180 So I would make steak for gay people. 0.99
00:41:39.180 I'm not just... 0.99
00:41:40.180 This is more of a...
00:41:41.180 Yes.
00:41:42.180 Baking is very technical and measurements.
00:41:43.180 You took it as you're right.
00:41:44.180 I don't...
00:41:45.180 Yeah.
00:41:46.180 You're right.
00:41:47.180 That's...
00:41:48.180 You made more of a broad societal...
00:41:49.180 Yes.
00:41:50.180 Philosophical.
00:41:51.180 Yeah.
00:41:52.180 I just made it about the baking.
00:41:53.180 Yes.
00:41:54.180 That's a fair point.
00:41:55.180 Uh...
00:41:56.180 Me?
00:41:57.180 Oh, yeah.
00:41:58.180 It's me.
00:41:59.180 Yes.
00:42:00.180 Two more after this.
00:42:01.180 Two more.
00:42:02.180 At a dinner party, when someone says...
00:42:05.180 At a dinner party, when someone says, I will stay in Los Angeles, do you believe them?
00:42:10.180 These guys are good.
00:42:11.180 These guys are good.
00:42:12.180 These guys are good. 1.00
00:42:18.180 I have nothing to add to this other than you're a bastard. 1.00
00:42:22.180 You're a... 1.00
00:42:23.180 You're a liar. 1.00
00:42:24.180 A cheat. 1.00
00:42:25.180 You know, here's what I will say.
00:42:27.180 I'm gonna put this to yes.
00:42:29.180 Because no one's ever lied to me about that.
00:42:31.180 You know?
00:42:32.180 You haven't been burned the way I've been burned.
00:42:35.180 I have not been scorned and burned.
00:42:37.180 You're right.
00:42:38.180 Two more.
00:42:39.180 Yeah.
00:42:40.180 Yeah.
00:42:41.180 Yeah.
00:42:42.180 Speechless, controlling words, controlling minds, will sell more copies than Don't Burn
00:42:49.180 This Book, Thinking for Yourself, in the Age of Unreason.
00:42:54.180 Oh, I do.
00:42:55.180 Oh, so this is what you think?
00:42:57.180 I think we both know.
00:43:00.180 We both know.
00:43:01.180 I think relative to the cultural phenomenon and despite your old dead friends and putting
00:43:07.180 words in this book and everything.
00:43:10.180 And you know, I really...
00:43:11.180 I'll tweet about it.
00:43:12.180 I appreciate it.
00:43:13.180 You blurbed it.
00:43:14.180 You blurbed it.
00:43:15.180 Yeah.
00:43:16.180 Even just on the...
00:43:17.180 I felt I had a decent title.
00:43:19.180 Yeah.
00:43:20.180 No, you have a great title.
00:43:21.180 It's a great title.
00:43:22.180 They don't beat Don't Burn This Book.
00:43:24.180 It doesn't...
00:43:25.180 It's a good plan.
00:43:26.180 Harry Became Sally by Ryan Anderson.
00:43:28.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:43:29.180 Don't Burn This Book.
00:43:30.180 Yeah.
00:43:31.180 12 Rules for Life.
00:43:32.180 Those are the greatest book titles in history.
00:43:34.180 Speechless is pretty great though.
00:43:35.180 Thank you.
00:43:36.180 It makes the point.
00:43:37.180 Thank you.
00:43:38.180 It's a technical side.
00:43:39.180 For my first book to be like, this is my final definitive why I left the left kind of thing.
00:43:45.180 It has like a really broad appeal.
00:43:47.180 Yeah.
00:43:48.180 Where you're gonna get your core conservatives and then move out from that.
00:43:52.180 You're right.
00:43:53.180 But just it's like a technical like who buys books kind of thing.
00:43:55.180 You're right.
00:43:56.180 You're right.
00:43:57.180 With all due respect.
00:43:58.180 I don't disagree.
00:43:59.180 And the fact that you're quitting.
00:44:00.180 You're drinking my drink again.
00:44:01.180 But for the fact that you're...
00:44:03.180 To my success, huh?
00:44:04.180 Come on.
00:44:05.180 To your success.
00:44:06.180 Okay.
00:44:07.180 This is it.
00:44:08.180 Okay.
00:44:09.180 Okay.
00:44:14.180 Being gay helped my career.
00:44:23.180 Hmm. 0.80
00:44:24.180 Just for the record, I thought you were bi.
00:44:25.180 Yeah.
00:44:26.180 Okay, so I didn't even realize.
00:44:27.180 And your wife, the way you guys have done this whole thing with the kid and everything.
00:44:30.180 She doesn't watch this.
00:44:31.180 She never watches any of these sorts of things.
00:44:33.180 Being gay has helped my career.
00:44:35.180 But you read that.
00:44:36.180 Okay.
00:44:37.180 But I read this.
00:44:38.180 So now it could be...
00:44:39.180 But this would be a statement that you would agree with, right?
00:44:42.180 Right.
00:44:43.180 So this could be you saying this statement too.
00:44:44.180 Yeah. 0.83
00:44:45.180 So it's being gay has helped your career and my career. 0.75
00:44:49.180 Being... 0.69
00:44:50.180 Me being gay has helped your career?
00:44:51.180 No. 0.99
00:44:52.180 Just being gay. 0.99
00:44:53.180 I have made you people more human.
00:44:54.180 Yes.
00:44:55.180 Yeah.
00:44:56.180 Yeah.
00:44:57.180 Being gay.
00:44:58.180 Just...
00:44:59.180 Just...
00:45:00.180 My being gay has helped my career. 0.98
00:45:01.180 Your being gay has helped your career. 0.97
00:45:02.180 But you're not gay. 0.91

00:45:05.180 So I'm gonna say...
00:45:06.180 So I'm answering for you.
00:45:08.180 Yes.
00:45:09.180 Being gay has helped my career.
00:45:10.180 In that you're not gay, I think I have to say no. 1.00
00:45:15.180 Dave, you... 0.62
00:45:16.180 Am I missing something?
00:45:17.180 You're so closed minded.
00:45:19.180 Yeah.
00:45:20.180 You know, this is a typical closed minded conservative.
00:45:23.180 Yeah.
00:45:24.180 But... 0.93
00:45:25.180 Gay. 0.98
00:45:26.180 Oh. 0.84
00:45:27.180 Has multiple meanings. 0.99
00:45:28.180 And you are gay. 0.99
00:45:29.180 And I am pretty. 0.94
00:45:30.180 And witty.
00:45:31.180 You are.
00:45:32.180 You like all those words.
00:45:33.180 Yes. 0.99
00:45:34.180 And gay. 0.95
00:45:35.180 And I do think... 1.00
00:45:36.180 You talk with your hands.
00:45:37.180 You know, and conservatives, they're always so doer and angry and stuff. 0.96
00:45:38.180 But I think I'm pretty gay. 0.93
00:45:39.180 Yeah.
00:45:40.180 You know, I'm a gay conservative.
00:45:41.180 Right. 0.86
00:45:42.180 Like if before gay meant homosexual... 0.95
00:45:44.180 Yeah. 0.69
00:45:45.180 There would be a bunch of guys at the bar. 0.52
00:45:47.180 Yes. 0.97
00:45:48.180 They're having a gay old time. 1.00
00:45:49.180 I can't believe I have to do this. 0.99
00:45:50.180 And you would be one of them.
00:45:51.180 And I think being a little light in the loafers has helped my career. 0.99
00:45:54.180 You are the very definition of gay. 1.00
00:45:56.180 No bet. 1.00
00:45:57.180 You are the gayest. 1.00
00:45:59.180 To this very, very gay conservatism. 1.00
00:46:03.180 We did it, Knowles. 0.92
00:46:04.180 Well, it's amazing what comes out after a few drinks.
00:46:06.180 I enjoyed being on YouTube.
00:46:07.180 Yes.
00:46:08.180 We had a good run.
00:46:09.180 We had a good run.
00:46:10.180 Yeah. 0.99
