Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Biden Tells Allies HE MAY QUIT, Reports HES RESIGNING, WH DENIES It w-Daniel Turner | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 The big news today, according to the New York Times, Biden has told allies he will be potentially

00:00:23.000 He is considering dropping out.

00:00:26.000 And we're also hearing rumors.

00:00:28.000 And this one, it's rumors for now.

00:00:31.000 We're actually hearing Biden might resign outright from the presidency.

00:00:34.000 That seems a bit more bold.

00:00:36.000 However, Biden is reportedly denying everything, giving a statement saying outright, no one is pushing me out.

00:00:43.000 I am not going anywhere and I'm going to win this race.

00:00:46.000 I don't know if he's going to win it, but the White House is officially denying the story.

00:00:51.000 So this is the big news.

00:03:46.000 Thank you.

00:03:46.000 Right on.

00:03:47.000 I was just thinking, I'm glad I never called you Daniel Shepherd.

00:03:50.000 It's actually a shepherd, isn't it?

00:03:51.000 You have sheep, you shepherd them around.

00:03:52.000 That's wild, dude.

00:03:53.000 I do.

00:03:53.000 You're like the only shepherd I know.

00:03:55.000 I think you have to start with Shepard, because that way it's like Captain Daniel.

00:03:58.000 It'll be Shepard Daniels.

00:03:59.000 Did you introduce yourself?

00:04:00.000 I'm Ian Crossley, if you don't know.

00:04:02.000 You have to know me now.

00:04:03.000 Hi, everyone.

00:04:04.000 Yeah, I'm glad we're all here.

00:04:06.000 I'm so excited for Independence Day.

00:04:08.000 It's one of my favorite holidays.

00:04:09.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:04:09.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.

00:04:11.000 That's Scanner News.

00:04:12.000 Follow them at TimCastNews on the internet.

00:04:14.000 Kellen's with us.

00:04:15.000 Yeah, what's up Hannah and Claire?

00:04:16.000 I'm filling in for Serge today, and he'll be back next week.

00:04:19.000 Let's get started, guys.

00:04:20.000 Have you guys changed your profile photos to American flags yet?

00:04:23.000 I'm wearing one!

00:04:24.000 I know, but what about your profile picture on social media?

00:04:26.000 No, am I supposed to do that tomorrow?

00:04:28.000 I don't think I'm gonna do it.

00:04:30.000 On MAGA month, all the companies are supposed to change their profile pictures to American flags, remember?

00:04:33.000 I'm too counter-cultural for that.

00:04:34.000 That's what we do.

00:04:35.000 Your farm has to change its profile picture.

00:04:38.000 I don't change my profile picture ever, for any month, but if you want me to change it in... Oh, you can do whatever you want.

00:04:43.000 In July?

00:04:43.000 You don't like America?

00:04:44.000 You don't want to change it?

00:04:46.000 Interesting.

00:04:47.000 I also haven't done it yet, but I'm just waiting to take the... I did!

00:04:50.000 ...the appropriate American flag picture, so... I have a red, white, and blue, like, graphene...

00:04:56.000 Oh, that's true.

00:04:58.000 So, a couple years ago, everyone's talking about Pride Month, all these companies change their profile pictures, and I was thinking, like, why aren't they changing their pictures for Independence Day, like, for an American flag?

00:05:06.000 None of them do that.

00:05:08.000 That's insane to me.

00:05:09.000 So why don't we do it?

00:05:10.000 It's MAGA Month!

00:05:11.000 It's a Make America Great Again month.

00:05:13.000 That's what we're going to do.

00:05:13.000 When it's in your heart, though, it's every day of the year, so you don't have to change your profile.

00:05:18.000 You don't have to, but my view actually is the reason they do the pride flag thing is intentionally to attack culture and to force all the other companies to fall in line.

00:05:29.000 And so you need a counterculture to say America instead.

00:05:32.000 And now we've seen a lot of these companies dump those flags from their bios and their profiles.

00:05:37.000 American flags it is, but you do you.

00:05:39.000 Let's jump to the news.

00:05:40.000 We got this from the post-millennial breaking New York Times report.

00:05:44.000 Says Biden is considering bowing out of the race.

00:05:48.000 White House claims the story is false.

00:05:51.000 I don't believe them.

00:05:52.000 I think they have to say that, because Biden's got a lot of donors who have already put up money, but I think behind the scenes they know what the plan is.

00:05:58.000 The plan is an open convention.

00:05:59.000 Biden might, there's rumors actually going around right now on X, Biden might resign.

00:06:04.000 And these are, these are Beltway people, I'll pull up the tweet in a second, saying he's actually planning to resign the presidency in a week.

00:06:10.000 That seems a bit bold, so I don't know that I believe that would happen.

00:06:13.000 Who said that?

00:06:14.000 Tom Fitton tweeted that.

00:06:15.000 We'll pull that one up next, though, but for now we'll get through this.

00:06:18.000 Biden reportedly told an ally that he may not be able to salvage his campaign if he is unable to convince the public in the coming days that he is still able to do the job.

00:06:26.000 The ally stressed that Biden is still in the fight for re-election, but understands that his next few appearances will be critical.

00:06:33.000 One of those interviews will take place with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Friday, and it's going to be an edited interview, probably.

00:06:39.000 Yeah, it's not live, they've already said.

00:06:41.000 Yep.

00:06:41.000 Heavily edited.

00:06:43.000 And keep an eye on the clock behind Joe Biden's head, because it's going to be bouncing around like crazy.

00:06:47.000 Will it be between 10 and 4 in that time frame?

00:06:50.000 It'll be 10 in the morning to 4 p.m.

00:06:51.000 Watch the sun coming in through the window.

00:06:53.000 Well, if it's going to be critical, I guarantee he's not rolling a 20.

00:06:55.000 He's going to roll a 1.

00:06:56.000 The White House has said, you know, everything's fine, he's running, and that they're planning to bring him out in front of people more.

00:07:02.000 And I almost wonder, like, I don't think you understand what the problem is.

00:07:06.000 But it's almost impossible, right?

00:07:07.000 Because if he stays in the shadows and doesn't talk to anybody, then we all kind of know what's going on.

00:07:11.000 And if he's in front of people, They run the risks of gaffe after gaffe after gaffe.

00:07:15.000 I was listening to this interview with, I think his name's Jim Zogby.

00:07:20.000 He's involved with the DNC.

00:07:22.000 He's been there for 30 years.

00:07:23.000 And he was presenting like a path forward for a Joe Biden-less election.

00:07:27.000 And one of the things he said was like, From now on out, the whole media is just going to point out every single time he stumbles, every time he breathes heavily, every time he walks weirdly.

00:07:39.000 And it makes you want to be like, I know we've already been talking about it for like a year.

00:07:43.000 It's almost amazing how much of a shock all of this is to a lot of Democrats.

00:07:48.000 Well, the White House damage control is late.

00:07:50.000 I mean, they tried to do some saving grace right after the debate.

00:07:53.000 They went to that Waffle House impromptu.

00:07:56.000 Jill Biden gave that really condescending, like, you did so well. 0.99

00:08:00.000 And Joe stood there on stage.

00:08:02.000 But they needed to roll him out Friday, Saturday, over the weekend.

00:08:07.000 Instead, they hit him again.

00:08:07.000 They went back to Camp David.

00:08:09.000 They did the one rally in North Carolina, but even then it wasn't enough.

00:08:13.000 It's way too late.

00:08:14.000 It's way too late.

00:08:15.000 This narrative is now set in stone and they're not going to change the media narrative just because they want to.

00:08:20.000 They're going to try their best.

00:08:21.000 They're going to find something to indict Trump on.

00:08:24.000 They're hoping this hurricane in the Pacific and the Atlantic hits Texas directly and it becomes a story.

00:08:30.000 They need something to change their narrative.

00:08:33.000 But they are incapable right now.

00:08:35.000 They're grasping at shaws. 1.00

00:08:36.000 What do you think of this idea, though, that it's Biden saying, oh, I think I might need to drop out.

00:08:41.000 No way in hell.

00:08:42.000 I don't think it's Biden at all.

00:08:44.000 I think Biden and also the Biden family are all, you know, they are prepared to run until

00:08:50.000 they absolutely cannot and they don't think it's off the table.

00:08:53.000 It's interesting because again, going back to this interview with Jim Zogby, he was saying,

00:08:58.000 you know, well, he could, Biden could pass the baton and he could go out with this dignified

00:09:04.000 like ultimate, I'm hearing a couple of Democrats say this thing of like in service to the nation,

00:09:09.000 putting aside this, his ambition and, and letting someone else like step in or whatever.

00:09:14.000 And I just don't think that they have understood the characters involved in this.

00:09:17.000 It doesn't seem right.

00:09:18.000 No.

00:09:19.000 And if you look at electoral politics, elected officials, right and left, but particularly on the left.

00:09:25.000 They don't give up power easily.

00:09:28.000 Look at someone like Ted Kennedy.

00:09:30.000 Look at Robert Byrd.

00:09:32.000 Look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 1.00

00:09:33.000 Look at Dianne Feinstein. 0.52

00:09:35.000 Just a couple months ago, her staff was voting on her behalf.

00:09:40.000 If you are in this position for 30, 40, 50 years, you don't give it up because it's not part of your DNA.

00:09:48.000 Secondly, Joe Biden's entire personality is created on the fact that he's wanted to be president.

00:09:53.000 All the lies that we make fun of him on, like, I got arrested for protesting Nelson Mandela's occupation, right?

00:09:59.000 I brokered peace agreements with Golda Meir back in the... All these things that people are like, what the hell? 0.88

00:10:05.000 How could you lie like that?

00:10:07.000 This is all to create this image that I am presidential.

00:10:10.000 Even at 27 years old, I was brokering peace accords with Golda Meir.

00:10:15.000 That's how great I am.

00:10:16.000 He has wanted to be president for forever, as most senators do.

00:10:21.000 He's always wanted to be president.

00:10:22.000 He finally got it.

00:10:23.000 He may not be lucid and he does not know what's happening in the country, but he does know he is president and that is all he has wanted.

00:10:31.000 So there is no way in hell Joe Biden is going to step down.

00:10:35.000 They can 25th amendment out, right? 0.98

00:10:38.000 The way they got rid of Nixon, as they said, we're going to impeach you if you don't step aside.

00:10:42.000 They can threaten him in that way, but he will not voluntarily step aside.

00:10:46.000 It's incapable of Joe Biden because this is the only thing he has wanted his whole life.

00:10:50.000 He will never step aside.

00:10:52.000 Yeah, I think his ego is too intertwined with this.

00:10:54.000 And when we get reports like this, I almost think it's people on staff who are saying, we've been trying to tell him that he must step aside, but you know, it's not going well or whatever.

00:11:06.000 It just does not seem like a path that Joe Biden will voluntarily pick.

00:11:10.000 And I don't think he cares about, you know, what is good for the party or what's good down ticket.

00:11:15.000 He only cares about, you know, getting as much time in the White House as humanly possible.

00:11:20.000 But you're mentioning, you know, Nixon.

00:11:22.000 Is the deep state going to let him just sit there and occupy the space they're trying to take?

00:11:26.000 Well, as they did with Nixon, they will go to him and say, Mr. President, if you don't Resign we're going to have to do something like the 25th amendment, right?

00:11:35.000 If you don't resign we are going to take this take the necessary steps that will put you in such an awkward position So this is the best way to do it so they may force him to resign but Voluntarily the sense of magnanimity or love of the country that he realizes, you know, my diminished capacity is great That's why I do is not capable of doing it.

00:11:54.000 I That's why I do think he's going to step down.

00:11:57.000 I mean, you look at what Tucker Carlson's saying.

00:11:59.000 There's too many big donors.

00:12:00.000 I think Reed Hastings recently was like, get out.

00:12:04.000 And so the people who are funding the party are saying no more.

00:12:08.000 And Biden saying, yes, I won't.

00:12:10.000 I'm staying.

00:12:10.000 I don't think he cares.

00:12:11.000 Yeah.

00:12:12.000 He's president.

00:12:13.000 I kind of wonder if we're going to get that Gavin Newsom moment where he grasps his heart.

00:12:17.000 I think it's going to be Obama that runs out there and saves him.

00:12:20.000 Barack.

00:12:21.000 I feel like Obama's like, well, he had a good run.

00:12:25.000 We'll just see what happens.

00:12:26.000 Why Barack?

00:12:27.000 Just so his wife can become president. 0.94

00:12:28.000 Well, then Michelle would do it. 1.00

00:12:30.000 Well, it'll be Barack, because he's the male hero archetype everyone loves, and then he'll bring the Obama name back into the spotlight, and then Michelle will step out, and Barack can't run again.

00:12:37.000 No, what's going to happen is Joe's going to grasp his chest and go CRAW on stage and fall over, and Michelle's going to run out, rip off her high heels, full sprint, and lift him up with one arm and carry him to safety. 0.99

00:12:51.000 And feminist crowds everywhere go wild! 1.00

00:12:54.000 I kind of agree with you guys, both of you actually.

00:12:56.000 I don't think he'll step aside.

00:12:58.000 I think he'll be pushed aside.

00:13:00.000 And it's a little bit semantic at that point, but I think he's going to be incited to get out of the way.

00:13:05.000 You know, I got an idea.

00:13:07.000 Democrats hear me out.

00:13:09.000 Maybe we accuse Joe Biden of working for Vladimir Putin.

00:13:15.000 That's potentially a way to get rid of him, and then you can impeach him over what he did in Ukraine.

00:13:19.000 I mean, how about the LNG pause that has made Vladimir Putin incredibly rich and he used all that money to start a war, to fund his army and make further encroachments into Ukraine?

00:13:30.000 LNG, liquid natural gas?

00:13:31.000 Liquid natural gas, yeah.

00:13:33.000 I mean, there's a lot of things that Biden has done that has made Putin rich and that has made Iran rich, and both of those countries, when they have a lot of money, now we're in the energy space, what do they do when they have a lot of money?

00:13:42.000 They build schools for girls.

00:13:44.000 No they don't!

00:13:44.000 They go to war!

00:13:45.000 They build armies!

00:13:47.000 I just gotta say, we must protect Biden with every ounce of strength we have.

00:13:54.000 He is sharp as he's ever been.

00:13:56.000 He is witty.

00:13:57.000 He is there.

00:13:59.000 And he won the primary.

00:14:01.000 Democrats, you know, they're conspiracy theorists with those cheap fakes.

00:14:05.000 I watched the debate and I saw a man who was with it.

00:14:07.000 And he's our commander in chief.

00:14:08.000 That's true.

00:14:09.000 So we've got to stand by him.

00:14:11.000 I say Biden for the Democratic Party.

00:14:13.000 We saw a very authentic Biden at the debate.

00:14:15.000 And I think we should value that.

00:14:16.000 I'm with Corinne Jean-Pierre on this one.

00:14:19.000 I mean, how dare anyone imply that he should step aside?

00:14:24.000 I know there's a lot of fog of war over in the Ukraine eastern border there, but have

00:14:30.000 the Russians captured any of the equipment we've sent over there?

00:14:33.000 Because that's traitorous.

00:14:34.000 If Biden sent artillery over there, now Putin has it.

00:14:36.000 I mean, that's just another feather in his cap.

00:14:38.000 I mean, I wonder if you could track some of the equipment that we left in Afghanistan

00:14:42.000 that has made its way up.

00:14:44.000 You know, it is being used.

00:14:45.000 I don't know.

00:14:46.000 But but going on what you said, I declare that we need those platitudes that politicians always use, like, look, this isn't the time for partisan politics.

00:14:53.000 We need to come together as a country.

00:14:55.000 We need to stand with our commander in chief.

00:14:57.000 And we do.

00:14:57.000 We need to rally around Joe Biden and say, this is our president.

00:15:01.000 Right.

00:15:01.000 He's my president, too.

00:15:02.000 And we need to support him.

00:15:03.000 to carry out his constitutional duty and run for re-election.

00:15:06.000 He has, he presented himself in dozens of primaries as the candidate for 2024.

00:15:13.000 If the party that tells us that Trump is a threat to democracy

00:15:17.000 cannot respect the democracy of their own constituents in those primaries,

00:15:21.000 they didn't vote for Gavin Newsom. They wouldn't even let Bobby Kennedy Jr. on the ticket.

00:15:25.000 Right? They made him change parties.

00:15:27.000 So, and they're still trying to get him off the ticket.

00:15:29.000 Yeah.

00:15:29.000 And this is, this I think makes the most sense. One of our callers last night mentioned this.

00:15:33.000 everything lines up.

00:15:34.000 Why didn't they pull Biden months ago?

00:15:38.000 Because RFK would have taken the Democratic nomination and they would have had a Bernie Sanders situation.

00:15:43.000 So they needed to shut down the primaries first, then do an open convention and swap out Joe Biden.

00:15:49.000 Otherwise, RFK takes it.

00:15:50.000 And this was what Dean Phillips, who was running as a Democrat against Biden in the primary, this was one of his talking points, was he's gone a little too far left, a little too aggressively without the consent and the input of the American people, and he's too old for the job, and we need young blood.

00:16:06.000 And Dean Phillips, so much so that he basically had to give up his congressional seat.

00:16:10.000 He's not running for re-election.

00:16:11.000 He's independently wealthy, so I don't think he's worried about his future.

00:16:14.000 But Dean Phillips stood up and was like, this is why I'm running for president.

00:16:18.000 I knew these things.

00:16:19.000 Where's Dean Phillips, right?

00:16:20.000 How come no one on MSNBC has had Dean Phillips on their program?

00:16:23.000 How come CNN hasn't said, you know what, Dean Phillips, six months ago we dismissed you as a threat to the party.

00:16:29.000 You were right, we were wrong.

00:16:30.000 How come none of them have to eat crow right now?

00:16:32.000 We should have him on here.

00:16:33.000 This is a good time to get a Democratic senator.

00:16:36.000 I'd love to have Gene Phillips on because, again, he announced his campaign and then stood by it.

00:16:42.000 He was like, I am running as a Democrat even when RFK shifted parties.

00:16:46.000 Now, arguably, RFK has now shifted to his tone.

00:16:49.000 He's saying, oh, I'm running to unite everybody or whatever.

00:16:52.000 With Dean Phillips, I think you're absolutely right.

00:16:54.000 Where is he?

00:16:54.000 Why is nobody talking to him?

00:16:56.000 And I think in part it's because no one wants to look at Dean Phillips and say, you actually had really good points and we just made fun of you until you basically had to leave and now we've really created an issue.

00:17:07.000 I mean, even when they talk about potential names, his name doesn't get thrown around even though he was willing to say something.

00:17:12.000 Was willing to throw his hat in the ring.

00:17:13.000 And to be fair, part of it is people launch presidential campaigns to raise their profile, you know?

00:17:20.000 Kamala Harris is deeply unpopular.

00:17:22.000 So yes, she is becoming this front and center name.

00:17:26.000 People are starting to say, oh, well, yes, I would support her.

00:17:29.000 The Democratic senator from South Carolina said that.

00:17:32.000 But it's not their first choice, right?

00:17:35.000 If Joe Biden had said, I'm not going to run again, and she had announced she was running, I don't actually think she would necessarily win the Democratic primary on her own.

00:17:45.000 No.

00:17:45.000 And that's not good for the voter base.

00:17:47.000 She didn't in 2020, 2019, when she was running pre-COVID, when everyone was running for the presidency for the Democrat ticket.

00:17:55.000 She didn't even win California. 1.00

00:17:56.000 She dropped out before the California primary because she was going to get crushed in her own state.

00:18:00.000 One last comment on Dean Phillips.

00:18:02.000 And again, we would probably disagree on everything in terms of policy and politics.

00:18:05.000 He is still very much a committed Democrat and probably a fairly left Democrat.

00:18:09.000 But one of the things I did like about him, which I thought showed character, was he said, once at a rally, I went to a Trump rally on my own, and I just walked around the crowd.

00:18:18.000 He's like, they're really nice people.

00:18:21.000 Like, we have to stop demonizing them as this awful group.

00:18:25.000 Like, they're really great.

00:18:26.000 They love the country.

00:18:27.000 They were diverse.

00:18:28.000 They were friendly.

00:18:29.000 And I thought, boy, oh boy, Dean Phillips, I disagree with you on a lot of stuff.

00:18:32.000 But the fact that you were willing to say that because look at the way Kamala will talk about the MAGA

00:18:37.000 Extremists who have hijacked the court, right? So I like Dean Phillips for that reason. Let's jump to this story

00:18:43.000 We have this tweet from Tom Fitton.

00:18:45.000 This is big, and I want to preface this with, I'm going to need more confirmation than that, Tom, but Tom was willing to actually tweet this out based on what's going on in D.C.

00:18:56.000 Tom, of course, is from Judicial Watch.

00:18:59.000 We're big fans.

00:18:59.000 President of Judicial Watch.

00:19:01.000 Fact-checker expert.

00:19:02.000 Look at that.

00:19:03.000 And he says, I'm hearing Biden is going to resign next week.

00:19:06.000 To be clear, I'm hearing Joe Biden is going to resign from the presidency.

00:19:11.000 I can't believe it.

00:19:12.000 Now, I'm not going to say outright it's going to happen.

00:19:14.000 I say that's interesting.

00:19:16.000 And that tweet alone says, I'll keep my eye on things and I will be ready if this is to be the case.

00:19:22.000 But considering the top level Democrats who have come out, the obstacle of swapping out Joe Biden with Kamala Harris next in line, we've long speculated on this show, the only move is for Joe Biden to be removed from the presidency in some fashion so Kamala can become Temporary president or whatever you call it.

00:19:38.000 And someone had a correction for me.

00:19:40.000 It would not be acting president.

00:19:41.000 It would be president.

00:19:43.000 Acting president is when the president is incapacitated.

00:19:46.000 So Kamala becomes president, then says something like, I am, you know, I would be unable to launch a campaign.

00:19:52.000 I'm going to do my duty.

00:19:54.000 And this opens up the door to get Kamala out of the way, have an open convention. 1.00

00:19:58.000 But it's going to have to happen before the convention.

00:20:01.000 So it actually does make sense.

00:20:04.000 Not that I think it's a great probability.

00:20:05.000 It sounds a little bit wild, but it makes a lot of sense that Joe Biden would resign from the presidency or be removed within the next couple of weeks.

00:20:11.000 So what do they mean?

00:20:12.000 The things they have to do is they have to choose a vice president, and that requires now the consent of the Senate.

00:20:18.000 So A, who does Kamala pick as vice president? 1.00

00:20:20.000 Secondly, there are seven or eight Senators who are up for reelection as Democrats who are in very close races.

00:20:28.000 And now if you're John Tester in Montana and they're like, Oh, I need you to vote on Michelle Obama as vice president.

00:20:35.000 You think, do I want to get reelected in Montana?

00:20:38.000 Do I want, um, so, you know, what, what are you, what do you do when you're in that state?

00:20:43.000 If you're, if you're a Tim Cain in Virginia, if you're a Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, right.

00:20:49.000 Do I vote for this new vice president who is an absolute disaster that is going to get me Crush with my constituency?

00:20:55.000 Do I give up my election choices so that Kamala Harris can have her VP? 1.00

00:20:59.000 That's a huge problem.

00:21:01.000 I mean, it's four months and I just pick some low-level nobody.

00:21:06.000 I don't know.

00:21:06.000 I mean, they could.

00:21:07.000 They could?

00:21:07.000 What I find really interesting, and I wish Tom Fitton would tell us, I think so highly of him, is why the immediacy, right?

00:21:14.000 I mean, he could suddenly announce he's dropping out of the race and open the door for, you know, whatever they're going to do at the convention to get Kamala or whoever, you know, I've heard Josh Shapiro's name thrown on too, as the nominee.

00:21:25.000 Why would he need to vacate the presidency right now?

00:21:27.000 And to me, that signals that potentially this whole thing of like, no, he doesn't have a degenerative illness.

00:21:33.000 His health isn't in decline.

00:21:35.000 Uh, is actually becoming too unmanageable to cover up anymore.

00:21:38.000 Because why, what is the point?

00:21:40.000 I mean, other than you're saying potentially boosting Kamala Harris as vice president, okay, maybe.

00:21:43.000 Move her out of the way. 0.99

00:21:44.000 Maybe.

00:21:45.000 But then also, like, actually it would be more chaotic and harder for them.

00:21:50.000 And Kamala's the only one who can get the money from the DNC at this point for campaigning. 1.00

00:21:54.000 Like, there are other issues at play.

00:21:56.000 To me, the immediacy of like, he is about to leave the presidency is actually, we're going to have to admit that something is terribly wrong.

00:22:02.000 Remember the reporting around the debate where the press was upset, the White House press corps was upset they weren't allowed in the building because they were concerned a medical emergency may ensue and they wouldn't be there to cover it.

00:22:12.000 And we're all like, uh.

00:22:14.000 And to be fair, I mean, you got two very old men on stage.

00:22:17.000 Now also to be fair, Trump is spry.

00:22:19.000 Yeah.

00:22:19.000 I mean that when Joe Biden sputtered out of control and then CNN tried to cover for him when he was like, We beat Medicare.

00:22:28.000 And then they're like, thank you, Mr. President.

00:22:29.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:22:30.000 And then Trump's like, yeah, you beat Medicare, you beat it to death.

00:22:33.000 Beat it to death.

00:22:34.000 His voice got real low when he said it, too.

00:22:36.000 It was the lowest it got, the whole thing.

00:22:40.000 That's a mini version of that, because you'd be in jail.

00:22:42.000 That is the quick wit of Trump.

00:22:44.000 He wasn't even trying to be funny at all.

00:22:47.000 That's normal.

00:22:48.000 He was with the American people being like, what did you just say?

00:22:51.000 But back to Biden.

00:22:54.000 They dragged this out as long as they could, I think, to keep RFK out.

00:22:58.000 And so perhaps now the immediacy of resigning right away is because he's held on as long as he can.

00:23:03.000 And he's sitting there.

00:23:04.000 Remember, you see that video where it looks like he's crying on stage?

00:23:06.000 Jill Biden's talking and he's just got this scrunched face like he just can't take it anymore.

00:23:12.000 This dude's ready to just lay down and put on, I don't know, the Jeffersons and just, you know, enjoy himself.

00:23:19.000 Go for little walks in the parks in Delaware.

00:23:22.000 And all of this, the great joy that all this brings me is knowing that this is all because of their own doing, right?

00:23:28.000 They chose the debate time, Trump agreed.

00:23:30.000 They chose the moderator, the location.

00:23:33.000 They chose the format, Trump agreed.

00:23:34.000 And I remember thinking Trump made a huge mistake.

00:23:36.000 I was like, I wouldn't give in to every one of Biden's demands.

00:23:40.000 Absolutely.

00:23:41.000 Right.

00:23:42.000 You pushed RFK off the primary.

00:23:44.000 You changed the primary schedule.

00:23:47.000 New Hampshire's been first in primaries forever.

00:23:50.000 They switched it with South Carolina to help Joe Biden.

00:23:53.000 Every single thing that they have done as a Democrat party was to protect Joe Biden.

00:23:57.000 And now you have the gall to come to us and be like, hey, we may have a problem. 0.72

00:24:01.000 Screw you guys. 0.99

00:24:02.000 Look, I am glad to see you all implode. 0.78

00:24:04.000 And I think if the president, if Tom Fitton is correct, if he does resign next week, I think we need some very large impeachment hearings, because the Vice President must be sitting with him.

00:24:13.000 How many months?

00:24:14.000 What did the President know and when did you know it, Madam President?

00:24:16.000 How long have you known that Joe Biden was incapacitated?

00:24:20.000 And he's making decisions about Ukraine?

00:24:22.000 He's making decisions about troop movements?

00:24:25.000 This is months, years, the Chief of Staff? 0.97

00:24:28.000 A lot of people have to be brought up on trial because, damn, if you can be brought up on trial for giving a speech at the Washington Monument on January 6th, then you sure as hell can be brought up on trial for covering up for an incapacitated president. 0.95

00:24:41.000 Someone's calling the shots. 0.95

00:24:42.000 If Biden is only president from 10 a.m.

00:24:44.000 to 4 p.m., that means at 4.30 someone else is making a decision.

00:24:48.000 Who the hell is that person?

00:24:49.000 And are they accountable to the American people?

00:24:52.000 Uh, you know, if Joe Biden resigns, they are going to create more problems.

00:24:57.000 Um, because now I feel like they are opening up an enormous can of worms.

00:25:01.000 If there's a call to the president at like four in the morning or one in the morning, who, who deals with that?

00:25:06.000 Cause I can't imagine that old guy given a cogent response over the phone.

00:25:10.000 You think like, sir, we need to do this.

00:25:15.000 And he's just like, all right.

00:25:17.000 Hunter's so wired up on blow.

00:25:18.000 He's like, I got it.

00:25:18.000 I got the call.

00:25:23.000 Is it his top, like, military advisors that are like, we're going to do this, President.

00:25:29.000 And he's like, okay.

00:25:30.000 And he doesn't have any critical thought.

00:25:32.000 Jill is like, Joe, we're gonna... Does Jill take the call?

00:25:36.000 Jill gets all of his emails, all decisions go through Jill.

00:25:39.000 She only tells him sometimes.

00:25:41.000 He's the face of the business, but she's actually running it. 0.90

00:25:42.000 And when she said, Joe, you did so good.

00:25:45.000 You answered every question.

00:25:47.000 You knew every fact.

00:25:49.000 Did you see the Babylon Bee tweet?

00:25:51.000 It had Jill sitting in front of the Resolute desk and Joe was in the corner with like a little play school desk and it's like the White House installs new play school toddler desks so that Joe can feel important while at work.

00:26:03.000 She was telling him how good he did.

00:26:04.000 It felt like talking to a six-year-old. 0.97

00:26:06.000 Jill is worm tongue. 0.98

00:26:08.000 Oh yeah, whispering. 0.99

00:26:10.000 Get it, get it.

00:26:11.000 Tim's got the electrified man.

00:26:12.000 There's two of them being terrorized by a fly.

00:26:13.000 Dude, they're everywhere.

00:26:14.000 Yeah.

00:26:15.000 I don't know where they're coming from.

00:26:16.000 They're making more themselves.

00:26:18.000 Those animals, they tend to do that. 0.71

00:26:19.000 Yeah, but anyway, Jill is worm-tongued. 1.00

00:26:20.000 She's, like, biting his sickly and falling in his chair and is like, grrr. 0.54

00:26:23.000 We need Gandalf.

00:26:24.000 And she's whispering in his ear.

00:26:25.000 Where's Gandalf?

00:26:26.000 Is that Bob Kennedy?

00:26:28.000 Bobby Kennedy Jr.?

00:26:29.000 I think they made such a mistake kicking Kennedy out of the Democratic process, the Democratic Party's process.

00:26:36.000 Nice work, dude.

00:26:38.000 They were threatened by him though.

00:26:39.000 I mean that's the thing.

00:26:40.000 I have so much respect for Kennedy for coming on when we were at the Libertarian Convention and answering a lot of questions from us.

00:26:47.000 I don't think I would agree with him on basically most things but he is interesting.

00:26:51.000 He has an interesting perspective.

00:26:53.000 He was also articulate, and he could sit for an interview like that, and there's no way Biden could do this.

00:26:58.000 I mean, I wonder what kind of conversation, what prep they're giving to George Stephanopoulos right now, or last week when they taped this interview or whatever.

00:27:05.000 Like, it has to be during a certain time, and also you can't talk about certain things, and also don't speak too quickly, and if he gets lost, just play it off.

00:27:12.000 Like, It seems like this is obvious that Biden needs so much care and structure around him that it's not the same kind of presidency as someone who is strong and willing to go through periods of intense stress like four years in the presidency.

00:27:28.000 There's no doubt that it's hard to be the president of the United States.

00:27:30.000 Like you're mentioning, you might get a call at 4am, you've got to go this place.

00:27:33.000 But the fact that Joe Biden was like, I almost fell asleep on stage because I was traveling so much.

00:27:37.000 Okay, but you've got four more years of this, my dude.

00:27:40.000 Like, what are we going to do?

00:27:42.000 You can't even stay awake right now.

00:27:44.000 Those are all really great points.

00:27:45.000 Can Trump be Aragorn?

00:27:51.000 You're still stuck on this meme.

00:27:53.000 Trump is Gandalf.

00:27:54.000 I'm just here to fill in the time while we think about that.

00:27:55.000 Because he comes in and he ousts them from power.

00:27:58.000 You're right.

00:27:59.000 Thou shalt not pass.

00:28:00.000 And then he sticks the scepter in the ground and the wall.

00:28:03.000 Somebody carved that in the border wall.

00:28:06.000 And he died and came back as stronger than before.

00:28:09.000 He is more of a white wizard than he used to be. 0.94

00:28:11.000 Thou shalt not pass! 0.97

00:28:12.000 Exactly.

00:28:13.000 You gotta go back!

00:28:17.000 I just like Lord of the Rings.

00:28:20.000 If you're the Biden administration right now, what do you do?

00:28:23.000 How do you save the situation?

00:28:25.000 Because I think you're right.

00:28:25.000 They're looking at this hurricane coming in and going like, please distract everyone.

00:28:30.000 And also, if you are George Stephanopoulos and his team, What is that saying about your credibility that they went to you, right?

00:28:37.000 You have to resuscitate the Democrat president and we know you're going to be a team player.

00:28:41.000 They didn't go to a serious interviewer.

00:28:43.000 They went to the old faithful little old George and he will do his dutiful part and make the president look good and they'll edit in such a way because that's what George Stephanopoulos has always done.

00:28:53.000 Obama went to him back in the day when he was losing in the debates against Mitt Romney.

00:28:59.000 They always go to George when they need someone to bail them out because George is a Democrat operative.

00:29:04.000 And of course he is.

00:29:05.000 He was Clinton's spokesperson.

00:29:07.000 I mean, they're looking for favors.

00:29:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:29:10.000 And I think it's interesting, too, because we have this, you know, the governors were meeting with Biden today and they had this meeting.

00:29:15.000 They all came out being like, we have his back and no problem.

00:29:19.000 And he's always helped us.

00:29:20.000 Like that was Kathy Hochul.

00:29:21.000 He's always helped us.

00:29:22.000 We're going to help him.

00:29:23.000 And Wes Moore saying something similar.

00:29:25.000 It's immediately fall back in line.

00:29:28.000 But I think, again, you know, George Stephanopoulos is probably not making deals with Biden himself.

00:29:32.000 He's making deals with someone in the administration.

00:29:34.000 What can I get out of this?

00:29:35.000 I think all the governors are saying, like, well, we're behind the Biden administration.

00:29:39.000 I don't think they actually believe in Biden.

00:29:40.000 They believe they can get something if they stay in line with the Democratic Party.

00:29:44.000 I've got this feeling that they could just run Kennedy as their candidate now.

00:29:48.000 No, he's anti-establishment.

00:29:50.000 Is that why they won't do it?

00:29:51.000 Dude, the pharmaceutical interests will not allow RFK Jr.

00:29:56.000 anywhere near the seat of power.

00:29:58.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:29:59.000 Like, when you listen to RFK Jr., and he talks about the sort of, I don't know, boilerplate politics stuff, you're kind of like, yeah, yeah, we get it.

00:30:06.000 And then when he gets into environmental toxins, he's the whiz kid.

00:30:09.000 He's right about all of it.

00:30:10.000 He understands all of it.

00:30:12.000 He's talking about plastics, polyphenols, BCAs or whatever, just all this stuff.

00:30:16.000 And we're like, we talk about all that stuff too.

00:30:18.000 He knows what he's talking about.

00:30:20.000 Yeah, there's big industry, they're gonna be like, you will be very disruptive to the, I don't know, forced medications and things that we want to have the American people do.

00:30:28.000 So that's just never gonna happen.

00:30:30.000 I believe this whole plan, like, I think they would have swapped out Biden back in March, because that was the rumor.

00:30:37.000 But RFK Jr. 0.94

00:30:38.000 was intense on running and they were like, crap, if we do this, he runs, he wins. 0.91

00:30:42.000 So you'd rather have Trump than RFK? 0.95

00:30:45.000 Because of the big business interests?

00:30:46.000 They're like, at least Trump's down with the vaccines and whatever.

00:30:49.000 They being the deep state or Democrats?

00:30:52.000 Who's they?

00:30:53.000 It's tough to say who is they, but the people that are running the Democrats.

00:30:56.000 Simple answer, yes.

00:30:57.000 RFK is way too anti-establishment.

00:31:00.000 Trump, at the very least, is willing to cut deals and bring on people like, you know, John Bolton. 1.00

00:31:04.000 So I firmly believe a Trump presidency, he's going to hire a bunch of dumb people. 0.99

00:31:09.000 Like, the idea that he won't. 0.99

00:31:11.000 And a lot of people are concerned about it.

00:31:12.000 That's why it's important we keep the pressure up and make sure he brings in good people.

00:31:15.000 Vivek would be fantastic.

00:31:17.000 Any kind of advice from Vivek is going to be absolutely fantastic.

00:31:19.000 That dude knows his stuff.

00:31:21.000 But Trump is probably going to hire a handful of people we're upset about.

00:31:24.000 We're going to get, in my opinion, a marginally good second term from Trump.

00:31:28.000 The economy will improve.

00:31:29.000 Border security will improve.

00:31:31.000 Immigration will improve.

00:31:32.000 Trump will not be the dictator of leftist delusion.

00:31:36.000 That the right hopes for and the left fears, which is not going to happen, he's going to be slightly net positive across the board.

00:31:43.000 But you look at Trump's first term and the things that we can say are good.

00:31:47.000 Foreign policy was, I give it a C minus.

00:31:50.000 You know, it's like a lot, but that's really good.

00:31:51.000 It's a passing grade.

00:31:52.000 I've not seen any other president get anywhere close to a passing grade, but it's like not all good.

00:31:56.000 It's commando raids.

00:31:57.000 There's drone strikes.

00:31:58.000 There's missile strikes.

00:31:59.000 They're bad things.

00:32:00.000 But I thought it was a net positive.

00:32:01.000 And so we're going to complain about a lot of the stuff, and we should.

00:32:04.000 And we're going to like a lot of the stuff.

00:32:05.000 And I think we'll get a generally slight net positive for the first time or second time in my life, because his first term was the first time.

00:32:11.000 And then Democrats are going to scream and act like it's the apocalypse when it's not.

00:32:14.000 Some of them, yeah.

00:32:14.000 And then I can see like a conciliatory media move with Trump, too, with like Anderson Cooper being like, you know, we talked a lot of crap about you, like having him on the show and be like, but you did do a lot of good.

00:32:25.000 And then actually pointing.

00:32:26.000 So I could see it if they get to the point where they're like, this is the least worst option.

00:32:30.000 This is the least worst option.

00:32:31.000 All right, guys, guys, let's do this.

00:32:32.000 I want to ask you guys a quick question.

00:32:34.000 Oh, boy.

00:32:35.000 Before anyone answers, I pose this to those that are listening to comment below.

00:32:40.000 Who do you think the current Democrat frontrunner is?

00:32:43.000 And I'll give you 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000.

00:32:44.000 And it's Kamala Harris.

00:32:49.000 The frontrunner for the Democratic nomination on Predict It is Kamala Harris, not Joe Biden, the sitting president.

00:32:56.000 But it makes sense.

00:32:57.000 Joe Biden has called her the president, I think, five times?

00:33:01.000 He has.

00:33:01.000 He's repeatedly called her the president.

00:33:04.000 And maybe it's because that's what they're planning for.

00:33:06.000 But right now, the prediction markets believe Kamala Harris will be the Democratic nominee.

00:33:11.000 And they always called it the Biden-Harris administration from day one.

00:33:14.000 They made a very salient point about that.

00:33:17.000 It was never the Obama-Biden administration.

00:33:19.000 It was never the Trump- Yeah, exactly.

00:33:23.000 Who?

00:33:24.000 Who was George Bush's GP?

00:33:26.000 I thought you were doing a bet.

00:33:27.000 Oh no, no, no.

00:33:28.000 We totally forgot.

00:33:29.000 Trump-Pence.

00:33:30.000 But it was always Biden-Harris.

00:33:32.000 They made a very deliberate effort to say Biden-Harris administration for that reason.

00:33:37.000 I think you're right.

00:33:37.000 I think they tried to always keep her as much... It was weird.

00:33:41.000 They tried to keep her in the spotlight and also off to the side.

00:33:44.000 You know, she's the one out on the campaign trail, but not the campaign trail, on this national abortion tour. 0.99

00:33:50.000 They were sort of like, yeah, we'll make it up as we go along.

00:33:52.000 Yeah, go to a clinic.

00:33:53.000 We'll see what happens.

00:33:54.000 Can we start referring to Gavin Newsom as Count Chocula?

00:33:56.000 Because that was one of our viewers who super chatted that and he really does remind me of Count Chocula.

00:34:01.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:02.000 He needs to get a tan though.

00:34:04.000 Is it just because he reminds people of a vampire?

00:34:06.000 He is vampire-esque.

00:34:07.000 He's got super big white teeth.

00:34:10.000 He's gonna get like the 23-year-old female vote over that.

00:34:13.000 He looked thinner and more gaunt than before at the debate.

00:34:18.000 Did you guys notice that at all compared to like three or four years ago?

00:34:20.000 Biden?

00:34:21.000 No, no, Newsom.

00:34:22.000 He's kind of thin and a little more gaunt, kind of more skeletal than he was before.

00:34:26.000 Is he transferring his life force into Biden to keep him going?

00:34:29.000 Ruining a state burns a lot of calories.

00:34:31.000 So he's got, you know, he's probably losing a lot of weight.

00:34:34.000 I mean, I think part of this is Kamala Harris is yes, maybe the front runner, she's the name that has emerged.

00:34:41.000 But it's like when you don't go grocery shopping, and you have to just kind of make a meal out of what is left over.

00:34:46.000 I mean, she's not the person you're racing out the door to vote for.

00:34:50.000 And that's Bad for the base.

00:34:52.000 I also think that there is no way Kamala Harris handles the Israel-Palestine thing better than Biden.

00:34:59.000 And this is another internal division in the Democratic Party where she's just not going to be able to capture the vote that they need. 1.00

00:35:06.000 So I think, yes, maybe she is emerging as like the alternative, but it's not because she has earned it on her own merit.

00:35:12.000 It's not because people feel inspired by her.

00:35:14.000 It's because she's there when apparently everything else is falling apart.

00:35:16.000 I was looking for a good metaphor.

00:35:19.000 That was my question.

00:35:24.000 It's the Biden-Harris campaign.

00:35:26.000 So everything Biden did with Israel, with the economy, how does that not reflect poorly on Kamala?

00:35:34.000 Maybe they don't care about that.

00:35:35.000 Maybe it's just anybody but Joe right now.

00:35:38.000 But if you're the Gen Z Democrats right now, I don't know.

00:35:42.000 I mean, they're not rational people, but how do you rationally vote for Kamala?

00:35:45.000 She was right there, a part of it all.

00:35:47.000 And the reason why Biden was brought on to the Obama administration, the Biden ticket back in 2008, was that there was a hesitancy of the party establishment that there are still a lot of old white guys who are Democrats who don't want to elect a black president.

00:36:03.000 But they like Joe Biden and they know him.

00:36:05.000 And so you know what?

00:36:06.000 Maybe that will assuage any race concerns.

00:36:08.000 Did they already elect a black president?

00:36:11.000 This was to make Obama more palatable.

00:36:17.000 They're going to have the same problem with Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:36:21.000 They're going to say there's a lot of old white Democrats who don't want to elect a black woman who is obsessed talking about race and gender. 1.00

00:36:29.000 Same problem.

00:36:29.000 A lot of people have this idea like, oh, Michelle Obama, she'll win easily.

00:36:33.000 And I'm like, nah, I think she'll be a better contender than Biden.

00:36:37.000 She'd probably poll slightly higher and has a good chance of beating Trump. 0.99

00:36:41.000 But Democrats are racist. 0.93

00:36:43.000 And I'm not saying it to be cute. 1.00

00:36:45.000 That Yale study about how white people talk down to black people.

00:36:48.000 There's going to be a lot of white older Democrats who are going to be like, well, I mean, I'm all for diversity, but... I'll make an excuse for it. 0.51

00:36:56.000 Well, Biden himself, right?

00:36:57.000 I mean, I believe in my heart that white, black kids are just as smart as, what was the line he said? 0.84

00:37:05.000 Poor kids are just as smart as white kids. 1.00

00:37:08.000 What did he say? 0.99

00:37:08.000 Black kids are just as smart as, no, no, he said poor kids. 0.99

00:37:10.000 What did he say? 0.98

00:37:11.000 What's the quote?

00:37:11.000 Let's pull the quote out.

00:37:12.000 Something about getting on the internet, too.

00:37:14.000 Rich kids are just as smart as... 0.94

00:37:17.000 Black kids or something like that. 0.99

00:37:19.000 Poor kids are just as bright as white kids. 1.00

00:37:20.000 Yeah, there you go. 0.78

00:37:23.000 You're right.

00:37:23.000 They do have an entrenched racism in their party.

00:37:27.000 And they're going to have a huge problem with Kamala Harris, who is obsessed with race and gender issues. 1.00

00:37:31.000 That's all she talks about.

00:37:32.000 Here's the fascinating thing.

00:37:33.000 Republicans don't get this because they're overwhelmingly not racist.

00:37:37.000 So when they hear Michelle Obama, they go, oh, she's charismatic and she can give Trump a run for his money.

00:37:41.000 I'm like, guys, calm down. 0.99

00:37:42.000 Democrats are racist. 0.99

00:37:44.000 They don't see the world the way you do. 0.95

00:37:46.000 Republicans are looking at Michelle Obama as a charismatic celebrity personality who can win, but I assure you, a bunch of these young Berkeley Democrats are going to be like, oh, that's so nice, but she won't know where the DMV is.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:58.000 And again, go back to Kamala Harris running for the primary in 2019 before COVID changed the world, right?

00:38:05.000 When it was this time, summer of 2019.

00:38:09.000 She was at the Iowa State Fair and then she would be asked, are we going to have to regulate cheeseburgers because of climate change?

00:38:16.000 And she'd laugh and she'd say, we should have a conversation on that, right?

00:38:20.000 Whenever Kamala Harris doesn't want to answer a question, she says, you know, we should have a conversation on that. 1.00

00:38:24.000 Her polling numbers were so bad that she had to drop out before the California primary because she was going to get destroyed. 0.95

00:38:31.000 She had literally no delegates after months of campaigning.

00:38:36.000 Why do they think that she suddenly has national appeal? 0.61

00:38:38.000 Yes, she is the sitting vice president. 0.90

00:38:39.000 I'll acknowledge it.

00:38:40.000 But this idea that suddenly if she becomes the top of the ticket, Democrats are going to rally around Kamala Harris. 0.97

00:38:46.000 They didn't rally around her last time.

00:38:48.000 Eric Yang and Pete Buttigieg did better than Kamala Harris, right?

00:38:52.000 So, I mean, if they really want to save the ticket... Andrew Yang.

00:38:56.000 Andrew Yang?

00:38:57.000 Is that who you meant?

00:38:57.000 Who's Eric Yang?

00:38:58.000 I don't know.

00:39:00.000 Andrew Yang.

00:39:02.000 If they really want to save the ticket, I gotta tell you, they should put Bernie Sanders there.

00:39:06.000 They should.

00:39:09.000 One of the issues is that if there's a power vacuum, yes, we on the outside all know Kamala Harris's name and she seems hypothetically like the heir apparent because she's vice president. 0.97

00:39:19.000 But internally, you know, there has to be, like you're mentioning Pete Buttigieg or any other top ranking Democrat that's like, no, I should be president.

00:39:27.000 You know, any governor that has, you know, enough delegates to really have influence at the DNC, which is not that far away, must be thinking to themselves, I have to say I'm with Biden.

00:39:37.000 But if Biden's not there, I should get a shot at this.

00:39:40.000 I don't want it to be Kamala. 0.54

00:39:42.000 I work hard and I deserve this and etc, etc.

00:39:45.000 I mean, why would they go along with some sort of vague overarching plan from the DNC, so to speak, when really this is an opportunity for anyone to step in and say, I'm the leadership now?

00:39:57.000 The superdelegates, because they have no chance in getting the nominee unless they're selected.

00:40:01.000 But there's only like 75 of them.

00:40:02.000 Superdelegates?

00:40:03.000 Yeah.

00:40:03.000 It's a small group that's going to select the next candidate.

00:40:05.000 So no matter how ambitious someone is, it's only Obama who's like the last

00:40:08.000 ambitious Democrat.

00:40:09.000 But the thing is, there aren't that, like, I agree with you.

00:40:10.000 Maybe there are some superdelegates that could influence it, but the

00:40:13.000 governors themselves come with delegates.

00:40:15.000 So if you're from a state that has a lot of delegates, I mean, you could

00:40:18.000 theoretically have an influence enough to maybe sway a superdelegate or

00:40:21.000 enough of them to support you.

00:40:22.000 I mean, that's the thing about having an open DNC right now, which is like, you get to see, you get to really expose the influence that the DNC have over its members.

00:40:34.000 And I actually think it's not as strict and structured as we think it is.

00:40:37.000 I think that there would be a lot more infighting.

00:40:40.000 And in some ways, I think it would be a more interesting convention probably than even the RNC.

00:40:44.000 Because you would get to see all of these people vie for as much influence as they can rally in basically, what, six weeks?

00:40:50.000 Yeah.

00:40:50.000 It's just funny that the number one criteria in selecting your vice president is that this person should be able to fill in for me in case I can no longer do the job.

00:41:00.000 The one criteria Kamala Harris has to meet She has not met, right?

00:41:06.000 They selected her because of myriad reasons, but they did not select her because she could step in as president.

00:41:11.000 That's the problem they're having now.

00:41:12.000 And how many news stories have there been about the enormous resignations at her staff? 0.95

00:41:16.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:41:17.000 Have there been?

00:41:18.000 She can't keep staff to save her life because she's, rumor has it, a horrible person to be around and to work with. 1.00

00:41:24.000 Her chiefs of staffs have resigned.

00:41:25.000 Her comms teams have resigned.

00:41:28.000 Who wants – and you mentioned people like Pete Buttigieg or Gina Raimondo or all these cabinet secretaries.

00:41:33.000 They're not going to take orders from Kamala Harris. 0.60

00:41:35.000 They probably dislike her.

00:41:37.000 So I just think it's funny in this world of diversity and equity and inclusion and all of that, the only criteria that matter for VP is the one that she does not meet.

00:41:45.000 She checks all the other boxes, right?

00:41:47.000 But she is not capable of doing the job. 0.75

00:41:50.000 Proof of that is the fact that they want to get rid of Biden and they don't know who to give the job to.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, they made her the border czar.

00:41:55.000 The second they made her the border czar, I was like, okay, so you hate this person.

00:41:59.000 You guys don't want her to thrive.

00:42:00.000 And at the time, I thought of it as Biden viewing Harris as maybe a potential threat.

00:42:06.000 They want her to have something very difficult.

00:42:10.000 At the time, he was sort of pretending like he was going to be a one-term president.

00:42:13.000 And when they made her the border czar, I felt like it was giving her something difficult to have to explain when she inevitably

00:42:19.000 runs for president, right?

00:42:21.000 Because, you know, the border is a very partisan issue and she is bad at it, 0.99

00:42:27.000 so she could never win. She could never win Republicans.

00:42:30.000 And also if you do anything to try to control illegal immigration,

00:42:32.000 especially more extreme members of your own party will be like, 0.99

00:42:35.000 you're a terrible racist. 0.99

00:42:37.000 How could you do this? 1.00

00:42:39.000 That's what Obama did to Biden.

00:42:42.000 He didn't want to deal with Biden.

00:42:44.000 He was like, go cure cancer.

00:42:46.000 I'm going to put Joe Biden in charge of solving the cancer problem. 1.00

00:42:52.000 Because even Obama was like, I don't want to deal with this moron. 0.99

00:42:54.000 So they gave Kamala a job like that. 1.00

00:42:56.000 You go take care of the border.

00:42:58.000 Let us do our job.

00:43:00.000 You go take her at the border, which is impossible for you to do for a number of reasons.

00:43:03.000 We're not going to give you any support.

00:43:05.000 Also, if you make any restrictions, you'll isolate your own base.

00:43:08.000 Also, if you don't deal with it, crime will go out of control and you are culpable for a lot of issues we have in America.

00:43:15.000 Also, now leave again.

00:43:16.000 Go talk about abortion. 0.97

00:43:18.000 Get out of here.

00:43:19.000 They have her around, but they don't want her there.

00:43:23.000 No, and she talks about anything, and she just has nails on the chalkboard. 1.00

00:43:27.000 I know.

00:43:27.000 And she's so distracting, like Tim trying to kill flies.

00:43:30.000 Tim's slaughtering it.

00:43:31.000 He's chasing this one down right now.

00:43:33.000 Oh, nice!

00:43:34.000 Did you get it?

00:43:34.000 He's about to get it, though.

00:43:35.000 This is the new Olympic sport.

00:43:37.000 You gotta keep in mind, we're about to select our military commander, so Kamala's obviously not the person for it. 0.94

00:43:44.000 Who would be capable of commanding the military?

00:43:48.000 And it's gigantic, too!

00:43:50.000 Are we being invaded?

00:43:51.000 Got it. 0.99

00:43:53.000 Aw damn, maybe it's not... 0.99

00:43:55.000 That one didn't die either. 0.99

00:43:57.000 That was creepy.

00:43:57.000 We're adding a new level to IRL.

00:43:59.000 Like, not only do we have to respond to topical news things, but we also have to avoid getting hit by flies and or an electrified fly swatter.

00:44:06.000 Maybe it's not organic.

00:44:07.000 Maybe it's a little drone.

00:44:08.000 We're literally being bugged.

00:44:11.000 Like the people who don't believe in birds.

00:44:13.000 Have you seen all that?

00:44:14.000 Did you hear that?

00:44:14.000 Yeah.

00:44:14.000 Did it break?

00:44:16.000 Oh, I don't care for that at all.

00:44:17.000 No, it's a taser.

00:44:17.000 The people who don't believe in birds.

00:44:20.000 Happy July 4th, everybody.

00:44:22.000 It's coming around.

00:44:23.000 It's coming around.

00:44:24.000 He's a little slower than the other one.

00:44:28.000 I hope everybody who's listening to this audio only is having the time of their lives right now.

00:44:35.000 This is as chaotic as trying to find the new president of the United States.

00:44:39.000 This is exactly what it's like.

00:44:40.000 This is what the DMC meetings are like right now.

00:44:43.000 Biden's like up on a chair with a racket.

00:44:45.000 As the governor's...

00:44:47.000 He swings at a fly in a chair and falls down.

00:44:49.000 As the governors are all gathered in the Oval Office and Joe is there with a tennis racket, chasing, running around the room.

00:44:54.000 There's a fly in here! 0.97

00:44:56.000 Yes, Mr. President, there is a fly in here.

00:44:59.000 Daniel, if you're running Joe Biden's campaign right now, how do you handle the next couple days?

00:45:04.000 Because typically, July 4th, it is the Independence Day.

00:45:08.000 There's all kinds of celebrations that the president has to attend, right?

00:45:10.000 Do you keep him public or do you try and hide him?

00:45:13.000 No, I think you make him visibly public.

00:45:16.000 You don't let him speak to people.

00:45:18.000 I would do the big White House event tomorrow that they always have, the barbecue that is for friends and family and senators and their family.

00:45:27.000 I would do that.

00:45:27.000 I would do everything public possible with as little speaking as necessary, and I would start calling.

00:45:33.000 If I'm the campaign manager, I am calling Democrat power brokers and I tell them to

00:45:39.000 get in line or prepare to deal with the consequences.

00:45:42.000 What do you mean?

00:45:43.000 What do you mean?

00:45:44.000 Oh, I think I know what you mean.

00:45:45.000 Get in line.

00:45:46.000 Get in line.

00:45:47.000 This is the president.

00:45:48.000 And if I hear another rumor that you are tipping off a newspaper or that or the 25 members

00:45:52.000 of Congress who have hinted that they're going to write a letter to already did call for

00:45:57.000 Biden to resign.

00:45:58.000 Supposedly, there are 25 more who are going to.

00:46:01.000 Oh, wow.

00:46:02.000 That's it.

00:46:02.000 Your campaign is done, right?

00:46:04.000 We're pulling all DCCC money from your campaign.

00:46:09.000 That's how you start dealing with this.

00:46:10.000 I hope there's a wide shot of Tim right now, by the way.

00:46:13.000 I'm trying to get a money out of Cam.

00:46:15.000 I'm slaughtering this fly.

00:46:17.000 There is a room, Cam.

00:46:18.000 He landed on the actual thing and bounced off.

00:46:21.000 It kept going.

00:46:22.000 Does it not work?

00:46:23.000 It's an agile animal.

00:46:25.000 Yeah.

00:46:29.000 Nice.

00:46:31.000 Don't break the sign behind.

00:46:34.000 Yeah, he's hiding.

00:46:34.000 He can run but he can't hide forever.

00:46:36.000 I'd be able to cheese.

00:46:38.000 Oh, he's he's out.

00:46:39.000 He's out.

00:46:39.000 He's to your right.

00:46:40.000 He's to the other curtain now.

00:46:44.000 Yeah.

00:46:47.000 Oh, beautiful.

00:46:48.000 You have to come back like George Floyd.

00:46:50.000 That was tip-cast.

00:46:51.000 You gained 10 experience for that, dude.

00:46:53.000 No, you're too high level to have gained any experience for that attack.

00:46:57.000 Yeah.

00:46:58.000 He looked huge.

00:46:59.000 He looked like he was this big.

00:47:00.000 When I tased him, sparks were like shooting around his body like lightning.

00:47:04.000 His difficulty was only gray though, dude.

00:47:05.000 It's 4th of July.

00:47:06.000 Hold Joe Biden's schedule for a minute.

00:47:08.000 14 minutes?

00:47:10.000 Who's number three?

00:47:11.000 Hold Joe Biden's schedule for a minute.

00:47:13.000 So he is doing the event tomorrow.

00:47:14.000 He's going to have a barbecue with active duty military service members and their families and then, you know, do whatever on the 4th of July.

00:47:20.000 And then he's going to Wilmington, Delaware this weekend.

00:47:23.000 Which he spends most weekends in Delaware.

00:47:25.000 But it is interesting because I feel like going back to his home, it's going to be this moment where either his family is like, you got to keep going, or if Tom Fitton is right and there is some sort of conversation, maybe it will happen there that he is like, we got to stop.

00:47:40.000 And the joys of going to your own home is that you don't have to keep visitors logs.

00:47:43.000 So who he meets within the calls he has don't have to be logged.

00:47:47.000 The bigger problem that if I am Biden's team right now, is that he's supposed to go to NATO next week.

00:47:54.000 He's so tired!

00:47:55.000 That's going to be bad.

00:47:56.000 Where are they meeting?

00:47:57.000 Right?

00:47:58.000 Where is the next NATO meeting?

00:47:59.000 It's back in Europe and I don't know if it's at the headquarters, but he's got to be back on stage with these world leaders and they are watching the news.

00:48:10.000 Oh no, it's in DC.

00:48:11.000 Oh, it's here locally.

00:48:12.000 Yeah, July 9th to 11th, so that's good.

00:48:14.000 So at least he can sleep in his own bed.

00:48:17.000 But still, he's got to be on stage with world leaders who are asking serious questions and having deep conversations, and he's got to try to stay awake.

00:48:23.000 Let's pull this clip talking about serious conversations.

00:48:27.000 This is great.

00:48:28.000 You guys are going to love listening to this right now.

00:48:30.000 I'm going to play it for you.

00:48:31.000 Here you go.

00:48:31.000 This is the press briefing.

00:48:33.000 He's absolutely running.

00:48:34.000 Yeah.

00:48:35.000 Well, he's saying that, and I'm sharing with you his view.

00:48:40.000 And we would invite the president to come here and tell us that directly.

00:48:43.000 Noted.

00:48:43.000 Noted, Kelly.

00:48:45.000 But he's away.

00:48:47.000 That's inappropriate.

00:48:50.000 So she says, we'd invite him to come here.

00:48:52.000 And another reporter goes, if he's awake, yo, they have turned on the Biden administration.

00:48:57.000 And her.

00:48:58.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:48:59.000 Nasty girl, Pierre. 1.00

00:49:00.000 Jean-Pierre is the worst Presbyterian I've ever seen. 1.00

00:49:03.000 She's just such a, so mean. 0.92

00:49:04.000 I was going to say, that reporter is making me laugh because she is like, we would like to hear directly from Biden.

00:49:09.000 And then she hears the, if he's awake, there's a pause.

00:49:11.000 She's like, that's inappropriate. 1.00

00:49:13.000 See, Corinne?

00:49:14.000 I'm nice.

00:49:14.000 I'm on your side.

00:49:15.000 Do me a favor.

00:49:16.000 I mean, I feel like that's a lot of this right now.

00:49:18.000 Because even these mainstream outlets, like we're seeing a lot of reports from the New York Times that are saying like, you know, these conversations going on with Biden and whatever.

00:49:25.000 It will look really, really, really bad for any mainstream media outlet that wants to pretend like they have any semblance of credibility if they continue to be like, and everything is fine.

00:49:35.000 They have no semblance of credibility, though.

00:49:37.000 That's it.

00:49:37.000 I mean, I think of all we saw of Russiagate and the hoax that that was, all we dealt with with COVID and what happened there.

00:49:45.000 This is like the third huge moment that the media is on trial, and at this point the media has no credibility left.

00:49:52.000 Because Carl Bernstein, right?

00:49:54.000 From Carl Bernstein fame, saying that, you know, I've known at least 15 or 20 episodes of The President.

00:50:01.000 Well, how come there was no deep throat on that, Carl?

00:50:03.000 How come there was no racing to full-page articles of The Washington Post on that, Carl?

00:50:08.000 Because they all felt the need to protect The President.

00:50:10.000 So they protect Fauci, they protect...

00:50:13.000 Media has the lowest favorability rating they've had in history, and at this point the media should just be unplugged.

00:50:20.000 They are genuinely the enemy of the American people. 0.77

00:50:22.000 CNN, though, I've got a little bit of hope at CNN right now.

00:50:26.000 The way they handled the debate was pretty unbiased, and the way they're letting Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper speak the truth about what they're perceiving with Biden is kind of impressive, and if they can keep this up, I would be very, very happy.

00:50:38.000 Do you think that that's them being Unbiased, or do you think it's them realizing that they cannot continue to lie for this administration?

00:50:45.000 That's a great point.

00:50:46.000 And I think it's more the latter.

00:50:49.000 We all want to have a redemption arc for all kinds of institutions in America.

00:50:52.000 We'd love for us to be a society that lives peacefully and trusts that we're all working together for harmony.

00:50:57.000 But ultimately, I think if the news media is turning on Biden, the Biden administration, it's because they do not believe that they can continue lying for them.

00:51:08.000 Maybe they I think that they are on a crusade to improve their credibility because CNN's flattering and tanking and I was a Zucker Jeff Zucker.

00:51:16.000 Yeah, he's gone.

00:51:16.000 Yeah, and he was like the guy that kind of made it entertainment.

00:51:19.000 Like WWE.

00:51:22.000 Zucker?

00:51:22.000 No, Zucker Zucker was before Licked.

00:51:24.000 And Licked is gone too.

00:51:25.000 Right, Licked is gone.

00:51:26.000 So it's like I don't even So they got some new person and maybe they're like, you know what?

00:51:29.000 We're making this legit.

00:51:30.000 I'm tired of this.

00:51:31.000 I'm tired of making this WWE.

00:51:32.000 Guys, they got a clean house.

00:51:33.000 If they clean house, I say, okay, if you get rid of Kaitlyn Collins, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash, and who else do they have left?

00:51:39.000 Just get rid of them all.

00:51:40.000 All gone.

00:51:40.000 Anderson, Coopers.

00:51:41.000 Anderson gone, gone, gone.

00:51:43.000 You get rid of all those people, I'll watch CNN.

00:51:46.000 But to your point— And apologize.

00:51:47.000 To your point, if this is the third time the media's been on trial, I feel like the first two, like with Russiagate and everything like that, that was actually conservative starting to be like, oh, things are going on.

00:51:55.000 This seems to be the first one that Democrats and independents are like, Oh, wait.

00:52:00.000 You told us everything was fine, and it seems as though it is not fine.

00:52:04.000 We don't know if we believe you anymore.

00:52:05.000 They didn't just say it was fine.

00:52:06.000 Two weeks ago, they were calling these deepfakes.

00:52:09.000 Cheapfakes.

00:52:10.000 Cheapfakes.

00:52:10.000 Two weeks ago, they were saying vast right-wing conspiracy, right-wing propaganda.

00:52:16.000 Two weeks ago, they were saying that.

00:52:18.000 Now they're like, wow, yeah, we've known for quite some time.

00:52:20.000 Right.

00:52:20.000 Did you see Corrine jump here?

00:52:22.000 Yesterday I said, well, I didn't say cheap fakes.

00:52:23.000 The media came up with that.

00:52:25.000 I just repeated what the media said.

00:52:27.000 They were the ones quoting her saying that.

00:52:29.000 I mean, it's just, it's so much deception that I think even the White House can't keep up with it at this point.

00:52:35.000 And it's to the detriment of the American people.

00:52:36.000 Like we were talking about before the show, it's all Biden.

00:52:39.000 Biden is dominating the news cycle.

00:52:40.000 Now in part, you know, everyone's taking off for vacation, including people in the media who'd be writing stories,

00:52:45.000 but also there is stuff going on.

00:52:48.000 It's just no one can take their eyes off this car crash right now.

00:52:51.000 And in some ways that leaves a lot of the American people uninformed about what's going on in their communities.

00:52:55.000 I mean, you know, if it's Maryland school district saying, we don't want this AP African-American course,

00:53:01.000 or you know, which state, I can't even remember off the top of my head,

00:53:04.000 introducing, was it Louisiana introducing, you have to include biblical teachings in curriculum now.

00:53:11.000 The 10 commandments in the classrooms.

00:53:13.000 There's been a couple of different ones this week.

00:53:14.000 And it's just like, but everything going on with Biden

00:53:18.000 is such a main stage disaster.

00:53:20.000 That stuff isn't getting attention, you know.

00:53:22.000 I mean, that's actually the news media failing the American people.

00:53:27.000 And this is not what our founders' intentions intended, right?

00:53:30.000 And that's the biggest problem, maybe the day before the 4th of July.

00:53:33.000 They hated the idea of a big central government.

00:53:35.000 They hated the idea of an all-powerful administrative state.

00:53:38.000 I mean, we are United States.

00:53:40.000 We are not a federal government of Washington, D.C., of America.

00:53:44.000 And so the only reason, the only way I think of ending this for good, and you mentioned Vivek before, and I hope He is actually chief of staff would be my ideal position for him because it is really an administrative one and it's a visionary one.

00:53:59.000 And great chiefs of staff have done very impactful things for good or for ill.

00:54:03.000 That would be my hope for Vivek.

00:54:06.000 But he's the one who talks the most about this is the dismantling of this.

00:54:09.000 The reason why every election is the most important election of our time is because we have Six, seven trillion dollars in spending that is all going to crap projects.

00:54:19.000 That's all going to bribe governors right now. 0.96

00:54:21.000 What do you think they talked about with the Democrat governors?

00:54:23.000 Money, money, money, money, money.

00:54:25.000 Everything is in D.C.

00:54:26.000 All the money, all the power.

00:54:27.000 And those governors came out and said, we got Joe's back because he's got ours.

00:54:31.000 And what they really meant was he promised them funding, so everything's fine.

00:54:35.000 And it's not at all what our founders intended when they had this vision of this country.

00:54:39.000 They envisioned powerful.

00:54:40.000 Your governor should be the most powerful person if you want to look at it in that sense because you have a lot more say in who your governor is than you do and who the president does and your mayor should be the second most important one and that's where all the power should should be concentrated because it's your community and your people and people who are your neighbors instead everything is concentrated and you can't even choose a damn It's textbook without Washington, D.C.

00:55:03.000 You can't build a bridge.

00:55:04.000 We're stuck with the bridge in Baltimore because of D.C.

00:55:08.000 How are we at the stage that the governor of Maryland is like, I can't build the bridge until D.C.

00:55:13.000 makes a decision? 0.99

00:55:13.000 Build your own damn bridge, right? 0.99

00:55:15.000 Everything is in D.C. 1.00

00:55:17.000 Everything is in D.C.

00:55:19.000 And boy, our founders have to be very disappointed that that's what we've become, because now Joe Biden is a little George III.

00:55:26.000 Right?

00:55:26.000 He has decided you shall not sell liquid natural gas anymore.

00:55:30.000 I have deemed it so.

00:55:31.000 This whole argument of him being apoplectic about the Supreme Court ruling on immunity.

00:55:37.000 I don't believe a president is all powerful.

00:55:38.000 B.S.

00:55:39.000 you don't.

00:55:39.000 You have passed some rules or enacted legislation.

00:55:43.000 I don't think you should be able to sell this anymore.

00:55:46.000 I want to shut down those coal mines. 0.99

00:55:47.000 Who the hell are you to shut down a coal mine?

00:55:49.000 I'm the president.

00:55:51.000 Oh, our founders would be rolling in their graves if they saw how powerful the federal government has become.

00:55:57.000 It's failing.

00:55:58.000 It's gotta be destroyed.

00:55:59.000 The Baltimore bridge collapse is a perfect spectacle for Biden to be like, look, build back better.

00:56:03.000 Here's how we're going to get it done.

00:56:05.000 That's not happening.

00:56:06.000 No.

00:56:06.000 The states aren't doing it, Biden's not doing it, it's a failure on all fronts.

00:56:10.000 They still don't know how that even happened, how the cargo ship just ran into one of the support peers.

00:56:16.000 It's tragic.

00:56:17.000 And if you ask anyone from Maryland, I grew up around here, they can tell you how impactful that's been for traffic.

00:56:25.000 You can't go anywhere anymore without sitting in traffic now in Baltimore, and that's one of the biggest ports in this country.

00:56:30.000 It's a tragedy, and it's crazy because it was like a gift.

00:56:34.000 Like, here, show us your vision.

00:56:37.000 He wanted to be FDR.

00:56:38.000 We'll do it now.

00:56:39.000 Yeah, and it probably will take ten years if they're lucky to build the bridge back.

00:56:44.000 It's never coming back.

00:56:46.000 If they even build it back.

00:56:48.000 The incompetence and the managerial degradation that we're seeing in this country.

00:56:52.000 Yeah, it's not coming back.

00:56:53.000 I mean, like 30 years.

00:56:55.000 If Trump comes in and gives us marginal victories, then we're on the path towards restoration in that regard.

00:57:01.000 But I don't see that thing coming back anytime soon.

00:57:03.000 No, and that's a great example of just the crumbling overall nature of the country.

00:57:09.000 And it's all because everything is concentrated in this one city, and we have to get 55 senators to vote on a bridge in Maryland?

00:57:17.000 Holy crap, what the hell do I, if I'm the senator of, maybe if I'm Virginia, right, or maybe if I'm a local state, but if I'm the senator of Wyoming, and you're like, wait, I have to go to the floor to vote on funding for a bridge in Maryland?

00:57:29.000 I care about Wyoming. 0.94

00:57:30.000 I tweet all the time at Senator Kaine who's up for re-election of my great state of Virginia.

00:57:34.000 When do you ever talk about Virginia?

00:57:35.000 You talk about Ukraine and you talk about Israel and you talk about you're a senator of the world.

00:57:40.000 Just talk about Virginia just once.

00:57:42.000 Like if you should go to DC with this vision, why does this help the people of Virginia?

00:57:47.000 And if you can't make me the case why it helps people of Virginia, then what the hell am I doing here?

00:57:51.000 We're going to have a hearing on whether or not apples in Wisconsin can be imported to South Korea.

00:57:57.000 What the hell am I at this hearing for?

00:57:59.000 But this is all the stuff they occupy themselves on all day.

00:58:02.000 All day.

00:58:03.000 The whole trans movement.

00:58:04.000 We have to have a hearing on girls and sports. 0.98

00:58:07.000 Very important issue.

00:58:08.000 Why is it at the state level?

00:58:10.000 Why is it at D.C.?

00:58:11.000 Everything is D.C.

00:58:12.000 Everything is in D.C.

00:58:13.000 I mean, in part, it's because federal money runs throughout so much, right?

00:58:17.000 Anything that accepts federal money is beholden to Washington, D.C., and unfortunately a ton of our institutions ultimately accept federal money.

00:58:25.000 I don't think people realize how far-reaching that is and that's almost to the detriment of the American people because the federal government doesn't give money without strings and we're ultimately all giving up some kind of autonomy when you accept that the federal government is going to come in and tell you what to do.

00:58:42.000 But I think you're right, especially with the trans sports issue, you know, there was a huge movement with the Safe Women's Sports Act, you know, rolled out slightly differently, but independently states were saying, this is how we want to handle that.

00:58:53.000 And I think that is much more in line with what the Founding Fathers wanted for our country.

00:58:57.000 I think that is not what especially the modern day DNC wants for the American people.

00:59:02.000 They want to be able to say, you go to this one place, we decide, and everyone has to fall in line and that's it.

00:59:09.000 To that end, I think the American people are sort of disillusioned with that, right?

00:59:14.000 I don't think they look at the federal government as serving their needs.

00:59:17.000 It's like, how do I avoid being in the crosshairs of what the government is trying to force us to do?

00:59:23.000 How do I stay away from it as much as possible?

00:59:25.000 Let's jump to the story.

00:59:26.000 We got the Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, filing a lawsuit against New York for hijacking the presidential election by illegally scheming to jail their presidential opponent, President Trump.

00:59:38.000 New York is waging a war on American democracy, and Missouri will not let it stand.

00:59:43.000 Bravo, good sir, he says.

00:59:45.000 New York's illicit prosecution, gag order, and sentencing of President Trump has undermined his ability to campaign.

00:59:51.000 This overt meddling in a presidential election sabotages Missourians' ability to cast a well-informed vote mere months before the election.

00:59:58.000 I am asking the Supreme Court to declare that New York's actions unlawfully interfere with the presidential election, to remove any gag orders against President Trump, and to halt the impeding sentencing until after the presidential election.

01:00:09.000 Well, that has been halted.

01:00:11.000 Until September, at least.

01:00:12.000 The Supreme Court must invoke its original jurisdiction under Article 3, Section 2 of

01:00:17.000 the Constitution to settle the score once and for all.

01:00:19.000 Right now, Missouri has a huge problem with New York.

01:00:21.000 I will not sit idly by while sorrows-backed prosecutors in New York hold Missouri voters

01:00:26.000 hostage in this presidential election.

01:00:28.000 Bravo!

01:00:29.000 Yeah.

01:00:31.000 This dude's been leading the charge.

01:00:33.000 He is one of the best, because we complain all the time about red states not doing anything, and this guy has been doing a lot.

01:00:39.000 So bravo, sir.

01:00:40.000 That's awesome.

01:00:40.000 Yeah.

01:00:41.000 Finally, we need more pushback like this, and hopefully more attorneys general sign on board. 0.99

01:00:48.000 I'd be curious to see which ones do, because this is essential, right?

01:00:53.000 This is New York interfering with the federal election.

01:00:56.000 They say, uh, the lawsuit comes just one month after New York obtained an illicit conviction against President Trump and alleges three specific violations.

01:01:01.000 Count one, interference with the presidential election in other states.

01:01:04.000 Count two, violation of Purcell, a federal case prohibiting courts from sowing voter confusion or changing election rules in the months leading up to an election.

01:01:13.000 And count three, violation of the First Amendment rights of voters in other states.

01:01:17.000 Bravo.

01:01:17.000 He asserts in the lawsuit this lawfare is poisonous to American democracy.

01:01:21.000 The American people ought to be able to participate in a presidential election free from New York's 0.94

01:01:24.000 interference.

01:01:25.000 Any gag order and sentence should be stayed until after the election.

01:01:28.000 Bravo.

01:01:29.000 Yeah, I really do think New York or I don't want to blame all of New York, but I do want

01:01:34.000 to say I do think the attorney general's office and and definitely the Manhattan attorney

01:01:40.000 office thinks they are in charge of the country right now.

01:01:43.000 I mean even the language – do you remember when we had all of these secretaries of states?

01:01:48.000 Maine's in particular stood out to me when they were saying like, we're not going to let Trump on the ballot.

01:01:52.000 We had all of those lawsuits over that and they were like, for the good of the nation, I am making this decision.

01:01:58.000 I think it is such a strange time where these states have decided they are going to be the parents and they have the right to dominate this conversation and restrict the rights of other voters.

01:02:10.000 Yeah.

01:02:11.000 Well, again, all this chaos that we're seeing, they created.

01:02:13.000 They orchestrated it.

01:02:15.000 This is all happening according to their master plan.

01:02:18.000 All these lawsuits that Trump is involved in, they wanted them all to happen during

01:02:21.000 this period, right, 2024.

01:02:24.000 They wanted it to happen before the convention to hopefully have him already sentenced.

01:02:28.000 So they wanted to be able to say convicted felon before the first debate.

01:02:31.000 They got that.

01:02:33.000 So all of the chaos that we're seeing right now, they created campaign folks in a room

01:02:38.000 like this all gathered around the table.

01:02:40.000 This is an orchestrated effort.

01:02:41.000 You got it, congrats, but now you're also eating the consequence of your pernicious actions.

01:02:47.000 And all of the country is suffering as a result.

01:02:51.000 That's why, you know, we're going back to the whole, if Biden resigns and Kamala steps in, I think that's opening a larger can of worms that they are not ready to deal with.

01:03:02.000 Do you think other states will sign on? I mean, and which ones? I guess the question.

01:03:07.000 So this is Missouri.

01:03:09.000 Missouri.

01:03:10.000 Oh, this one's going to get big.

01:03:11.000 Yeah.

01:03:11.000 Because we, like Texas v Pennsylvania, it was all the red states versus the blue states, basically.

01:03:16.000 So this one, maybe the Supreme Court has to intervene.

01:03:21.000 There's no question.

01:03:22.000 I mean, what New York did is absolute election interference.

01:03:26.000 No question.

01:03:26.000 It's challenging because it's coming out right before a holiday, so I think probably there are a lot of attorney general's offices that are not staffed right now.

01:03:32.000 I mean, I wonder how many people they're having to call in to say, we want to sign on to this lawsuit or whatever else.

01:03:37.000 I worry that because of the timing of this—and again, I think it was a good thing to do either way.

01:03:41.000 You can't control the timing all the time, but we might lose momentum on this going into a holiday weekend.

01:03:49.000 Real quick, we do have a chat from Scott Good who makes a good point.

01:03:52.000 He says, the AG did nothing.

01:03:53.000 He filed after SCOTUS took their summer break and will not be back till October to even consider it.

01:03:59.000 Yeah.

01:03:59.000 Fair point.

01:03:59.000 This is the thing.

01:04:00.000 The timing does matter.

01:04:03.000 Hypothetically, it could prevent something like this from happening again.

01:04:08.000 But I don't think that, you know, the Supreme Court's not going to make a decision in October about this case anyways, I don't think.

01:04:14.000 But the Supreme Court is vacant for months?

01:04:17.000 Yes.

01:04:17.000 They just disappear for months at a time?

01:04:19.000 So does Congress.

01:04:20.000 They all go on recess.

01:04:21.000 That's insane.

01:04:21.000 I mean, they're not in high school.

01:04:23.000 They're not in elementary school.

01:04:24.000 You don't get summer break, guys.

01:04:25.000 With Congress and stuff, they have to go back and be in their districts.

01:04:27.000 Like, you can't have them in D.C.

01:04:29.000 all the time.

01:04:29.000 They have to spend the majority of their time in the states.

01:04:31.000 The courts?

01:04:31.000 What are the Supreme Court?

01:04:32.000 That's a 24-7 career.

01:04:34.000 Like, you need to be there when we need you.

01:04:36.000 What the hell's going on?

01:04:37.000 They think that the world's going to wait?

01:04:39.000 I mean, but all jobs get vacation days.

01:04:40.000 Sure, like take two weeks maybe and stagger it.

01:04:43.000 It makes sense.

01:04:44.000 I mean the other part is I think they do, I don't know, but theoretically they could be working, like they still read their cases, they still, you know, consider stuff even if they're not literally in D.C.

01:04:52.000 Yeah, and they still work during the summer because every justice is in charge of a jurisdiction so things still have to come before them that they are allowed to decide.

01:05:01.000 It just means that they are literally in court.

01:05:02.000 But they're not in session in the sense that, like, these are the cases we're going to hear this session.

01:05:07.000 That doesn't start until September.

01:05:09.000 I think the AG, and again, I'm not an attorney, so I could be mistaken, I think he deliberately waited for their DACA to be cleared, which was July 1st, to file this, because now there is nothing before the court, so now here's the first thing that's brought forth.

01:05:20.000 And they could respond to it if they choose to.

01:05:23.000 But they're, I mean, they already have some cases sort of ready to go on to the, like, we kind of know what's coming next time, right?

01:05:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:05:31.000 And their clerks are still working.

01:05:32.000 I mean, they don't have... But they could answer this if they want to.

01:05:34.000 Are they allowed to, like, before October?

01:05:36.000 Can they be like, all right, well, let's just do this now because it's more important than... I would say I am fairly certain the answer is yes, but...

01:05:44.000 The answer is yes, but I don't know.

01:05:46.000 It would be great to get like a former clerk in here who can give that answer.

01:05:49.000 And I know a bunch if you want one, but I'm sure however this works, the clerks now all talk to each other and say, all right, let Justice X know.

01:05:57.000 And then they have a conference call or so.

01:06:00.000 I don't know how they actually work the inner processes, but Supreme Court clerks are pretty close. 0.99

01:06:06.000 They hold their cards close to the vest, but it would be great to have a conversation with one of them and see how the actual court does operate like this.

01:06:12.000 How about, Bailey, just, you know, bring criminal charges against Joe Biden or something?

01:06:16.000 It'd be interesting, right?

01:06:18.000 I mean, part of it is like, what's the venue?

01:06:21.000 Where do we go from here?

01:06:22.000 And I think this is one of the more disheartening things.

01:06:25.000 And I'm not trying to be negative right before Independence Day.

01:06:28.000 One of the challenges is, you know, the district in which you file or if you were to have to go to the appeals court or Supreme Court or whatever, there is bias on every level.

01:06:38.000 And I don't think that we can assume in this day and age that judges are acting without some kind of political motivation.

01:06:46.000 And that's sad, right?

01:06:47.000 That's supposed to be sort of a sacred office and you go in really there to represent the law.

01:06:51.000 And I think now a lot of people are prepared to believe that judges operate with their own personal beliefs, sort of front and center, maybe not in a way that they were originally intended to.

01:07:03.000 Well, there was that article, that letter that surfaced of Larry Summer, who was the Harvard president, and he was Obama's something secretary as well.

01:07:12.000 He was in the Obama administration.

01:07:14.000 But when Obama was considering pointing Sonia Sotomayor, he wrote a letter saying that, I would caution you against this, knowing her, not only is she not as smart as she claims to be, Um, but she is hyper partisan and she gets very, very bitter.

01:07:30.000 Um, and, and, and a little bit, I don't think she used the word vindictive, but he was warning, like, I wouldn't put this person on the court.

01:07:37.000 And so you're right.

01:07:38.000 I mean, everyone has their certain biases, uh, biases, but even Larry summer back in the day was warning Obama and we were a more tolerant and happy nation going back 15 years to 12 years, however long it's been.

01:07:51.000 Um, but even he was warning like, you Yeah, this is not the best person for the courts.

01:07:57.000 So, yeah, the courts are becoming as partisan as everything else is, unfortunately.

01:08:02.000 The courts across the board are.

01:08:04.000 You know, as we've mentioned many times, when it comes to a lawsuit, you say to your lawyer, like, hey, I've got this case.

01:08:10.000 They say, OK, well, what jurisdiction are you filing?

01:08:11.000 If you file it here, you lose.

01:08:12.000 If you file it here, you win.

01:08:14.000 The judges here are Republican.

01:08:15.000 The judges here are Democrats.

01:08:16.000 That'll determine it.

01:08:17.000 Yeah.

01:08:17.000 And the environmental lawyers do this all the time.

01:08:19.000 Every environmental lawsuit is always filed in the same courts because they know the judge will be sympathetic.

01:08:26.000 And so you see, again, these rulings of the North Slope of Alaska, but they filed it in San Francisco.

01:08:33.000 And you say, well, that's really odd.

01:08:34.000 I wonder why they filed it in Hawaii.

01:08:37.000 That's really odd.

01:08:38.000 Why?

01:08:38.000 Because they know the judge is going to rule in their favor.

01:08:41.000 And it shouldn't be that way, right?

01:08:43.000 Like the bridge should be able to rebuild.

01:08:44.000 All of these things are spinning out of control because the system is just too damn big for any one person, let alone someone who's half with us like Joe Bio, 10% with us like Joe Biden.

01:08:54.000 No one person can manage this system the way, in addition to the military and the pharmaceutical pressures, and it is way too big because it's not supposed to be this way.

01:09:05.000 It's not supposed to be one big thing in DC.

01:09:08.000 I wish I could start a party called like the Federalism Party, but I don't know what the hell to call it.

01:09:13.000 But like the Tenth Amendment party to go back to states and the rights of states.

01:09:19.000 I know now someone's going to say like, oh, so you think the Civil War was constitutional?

01:09:22.000 I'm not declaring independence or any state or separation, but there is a need for states to reclaim their power and take it away from Washington, D.C., which is trampling on people's rights.

01:09:34.000 And I think there is actually a renaissance of interest in individual states in America.

01:09:40.000 And sometimes I wonder if it was COVID, because people couldn't travel internationally.

01:09:44.000 So the road trip kind of became a thing again, and people are going from state to state or observing sort of the way different states, you know.

01:09:52.000 Whether it be they were going between states for personal reasons because they were moving and relocating or just to travel and kind of get outside the house, if it made people appreciate that we actually have a system that allows for effectively kind of small countries to operate near each other and have fluid relationships in a way that, you know, Being completely governed from Washington, DC doesn't allow.

01:10:15.000 I mean, I even see this in sort of appreciation for regional events or regional music or regional slang.

01:10:22.000 If we could appreciate the states individually as opposed to being like, We're all just going to listen to DC and kind of become one semi or pseudo homogenous operation.

01:10:34.000 It would be better.

01:10:36.000 I don't know.

01:10:37.000 Let's jump to this classic, classic Kamala Harris speech from July 14th, 2023.

01:10:43.000 And I would like you all to listen to what she has to say.

01:10:47.000 Here you go.

01:10:48.000 Because think also about the impact on not only the local economy, Not only on an investment in the entrepreneurs and innovators from and in the community, think about the impact on something like public health.

01:11:04.000 When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population,

01:11:09.000 more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

01:11:15.000 Because think also of...

01:11:24.000 Let me just say real quick, before anyone says anything, I want to play it one more time because

01:11:28.000 I want to see what the audience says before anyone says anything.

01:11:31.000 Just let me play it one more time.

01:11:32.000 Energy and electric vehicles and reduced population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

01:11:41.000 There you go, everybody.

01:11:42.000 There you go.

01:11:43.000 Does the text actually say reduce population?

01:11:45.000 Yes.

01:11:46.000 She literally said reduce population.

01:11:47.000 When we invest in reduce population.

01:11:49.000 More children reduce population. 0.52

01:11:52.000 Our children, though, the ones who we don't kill, right?

01:11:54.000 Or the ones who we do allow to be born.

01:11:56.000 Or the ones we bring in from other countries.

01:11:58.000 Our children will have clean air because we got rid of the bad ones.

01:12:01.000 We got rid of those ones.

01:12:02.000 You know, when we have fewer children and fewer people generally, more kids can drink water.

01:12:06.000 I know.

01:12:07.000 Why don't you? 0.78

01:12:09.000 Have an abortion. 0.60

01:12:10.000 Yeah.

01:12:10.000 Have you talked to your doctor about if abortion is right for you?

01:12:14.000 Maybe you shouldn't have kids.

01:12:15.000 It really does seem like Democrats hate their voters.

01:12:18.000 Yes. 0.98

01:12:18.000 Like they're just showing up there and being like, hey everybody, you should all get abortions. 0.98

01:12:22.000 And I'm like, wow, that's kind of a mean thing to say to somebody.

01:12:24.000 I don't know.

01:12:25.000 You should get abortions. 1.00

01:12:26.000 Also, you shouldn't have children because of the environment. 1.00

01:12:28.000 That's very bad and selfish of you.

01:12:30.000 And also you should not talk to your families and you should get divorced.

01:12:34.000 And also you should continue to fall apart.

01:12:36.000 Have you perhaps considered getting an abortion and then sterilizing your children?

01:12:40.000 That's another Democrat talking point.

01:12:41.000 That would be a great way to reduce the population and protect the environment.

01:12:45.000 It's a win-win.

01:12:46.000 Exactly, it's a win-win.

01:12:47.000 Do you remember back in 2019 again during the debate when it was Julian Castro who talked about abortion for transgender men?

01:12:54.000 And it was like, that's how far we've come is that we are now, we have a presidential candidate who wants to protect the rights of transgender men to get abortions.

01:13:01.000 It was like, abortions for everybody!

01:13:03.000 No live babies! 0.99

01:13:04.000 Never again, no live babies.

01:13:06.000 But this is a classic because it's from a year ago.

01:13:08.000 Yeah.

01:13:09.000 And I don't know how many people brought it up when she said it, but she said it.

01:13:12.000 And the funny thing is, if we bring up on the show like, hey, Kamala Harris said that they're investing in reducing

01:13:16.000 population, the media will say it's a conspiracy theory.

01:13:18.000 Yeah.

01:13:19.000 And they'll make up some excuse as to why, no, Kamala meant reducing population suffering, but she misspoke. 0.96

01:13:26.000 Yeah.

01:13:27.000 She misread the prompter.

01:13:28.000 They'll cover for her 100%.

01:13:29.000 Or you just didn't give the full context, right?

01:13:31.000 You didn't give the full context of her quote, and you take it out of context, and that's just what they always say.

01:13:36.000 And maybe it's even a cheap fake.

01:13:37.000 It would be a great question.

01:13:39.000 Madam Vice President, loved your talk. 0.63

01:13:41.000 Quick question.

01:13:41.000 When you talk about reduced population, how would we go about doing that as a government?

01:13:45.000 Crickets.

01:13:46.000 I guess you could send people to war, maybe to a meat grinder. 0.74

01:13:49.000 That's one way to reduce your population. 0.83

01:13:51.000 I know!

01:13:52.000 You have a game show with three doors, and behind one of the doors, it's pitch black, and when you step forward, you just fall right into that meat grinder Ian mentioned.

01:14:02.000 And then give everyone a ticket.

01:14:03.000 That reduces population.

01:14:05.000 No, in all seriousness, they're talking about discouraging people from having kids, they're talking about abortion, they're talking about Finding ways so people do not have kids.

01:14:15.000 I do not believe, because a lot of people think there's a grand conspiracy to literally cull the human population.

01:14:21.000 When Bill Gates comes out and talks about stuff, he's telling you exactly what he thinks.

01:14:25.000 He's not hiding it.

01:14:25.000 He says, we want to reduce population growth.

01:14:28.000 We want to make population growth go way down.

01:14:31.000 And that's what they're doing.

01:14:32.000 That's their advocacy.

01:14:33.000 They want people to not have kids.

01:14:35.000 It's very first order.

01:14:35.000 They write news articles saying, don't have kids.

01:14:37.000 It's like if people are making too much waste, therefore less people. 1.00

01:14:41.000 That's like first order idiocy. 0.99

01:14:43.000 Figure out what to do with the waste. 0.99

01:14:44.000 It's a lot easier than trying to make less people.

01:14:47.000 And it's a lot more fulfilling and rewarding than making less people.

01:14:50.000 Or teach people how to build rocket ships.

01:14:52.000 And then we'll send people to Mars where they can colonize and we can expand human civilization into the stars. 0.61

01:14:57.000 How about that?

01:14:58.000 Yeah.

01:14:58.000 Shout out Elon Musk.

01:15:00.000 No dreams, no ambition, no way to solve things, must destroy.

01:15:05.000 How about we just do like a sorry but you're going to Mars thing?

01:15:09.000 You know what I mean?

01:15:11.000 Speaking of, there's a tweet that keeps going around.

01:15:13.000 What would you guys name the first city on Mars?

01:15:14.000 Have you thought about it?

01:15:16.000 Mars City.

01:15:17.000 Mars City?

01:15:18.000 All one word?

01:15:18.000 Mars City.

01:15:19.000 No.

01:15:19.000 Mars City.

01:15:21.000 Marsilvania.

01:15:23.000 I like Marsilvania.

01:15:24.000 Marsilvania's a good one.

01:15:25.000 I don't know.

01:15:26.000 I want to call it Daikon. 1.00

01:15:28.000 D-A-I-K-O-N. 1.00

01:15:28.000 Named after the vegetable we'll plant all over the place to fix the soil before. 1.00

01:15:31.000 Nah.

01:15:32.000 Yeah.

01:15:32.000 It's named after food.

01:15:33.000 Cause everyone's like, we'll name it Elon.

01:15:35.000 We'll name it after people.

01:15:36.000 It's like, dude, we gotta name it after the food, after the plants.

01:15:38.000 That's why we're even here to begin with.

01:15:40.000 No problem.

01:15:40.000 No, Atlantis.

01:15:42.000 Star City?

01:15:43.000 Star City, because that's what he's naming everything.

01:15:44.000 Starship, Starbase... It's Elon, he's gonna name it after his baby!

01:15:49.000 It's gonna be X, X-Town.

01:15:51.000 It'll be built in the shape of an X, and it'll be like... Completely mismanaged in, like, poor city planning.

01:15:57.000 It's like, in order to get from one point of X to the other, you have to go to the city center and then go around.

01:16:03.000 People who live in Boston and rely on that public transportation are like, this is our nightmare.

01:16:06.000 To be fair, to be fair, If it was an X with a circle around it, then you could have a train that goes all the way around.

01:16:11.000 And a three-dimensional X too, where it goes through everywhere you look.

01:16:13.000 It will be interesting to see which one of his kids he likes the most when he starts naming cities after them.

01:16:18.000 I mean, he's got, what, at least 12 now?

01:16:21.000 X1, X2, X3, X4, X5.

01:16:23.000 He just only likes that one kid.

01:16:25.000 I don't know why, I thought Daikon. 1.00

01:16:26.000 It came to me in a dream.

01:16:27.000 It just hit me, like, wow.

01:16:28.000 Is it a vegetable?

01:16:29.000 And then I looked up, what does Daikon even mean?

01:16:30.000 I looked it up, it's a... How about Aubergine City?

01:16:33.000 Aubergine?

01:16:34.000 Yes.

01:16:35.000 That's what the Aussies call, and the Brits do as well, right?

01:16:38.000 It's eggplant.

01:16:39.000 It's a French word for... The thing about daikon, I started reading about it, I didn't even know what it was, but I... It's one of the best French words.

01:16:45.000 You plant daikon... I actually have pamplemousse right here.

01:16:47.000 You plant daikon and then you don't harvest it, and it dies and then fertilizes and breaks up the soil on its own.

01:16:53.000 So that's what I'm thinking we plant on Mars.

01:16:54.000 It's all iron, that's the problem.

01:16:55.000 Have you heard... It's all iron.

01:16:57.000 Mars doesn't have enough gravity to sustain an atmosphere.

01:17:06.000 So we'd have to build pod cities and live underground.

01:17:08.000 Yeah, first, probably, for sure.

01:17:10.000 Have you heard about this thing going on in West Virginia?

01:17:13.000 I think it's Appalachian Botanical Company is doing it.

01:17:19.000 planting lavender fields on old coal mines to help fix the soil because you know a lot of times there's sort of a base level of like how it's supposed to be left but there are issues there and so they're using it to produce plants but then they turn into products and sell to people.

01:17:33.000 I find this really fascinating.

01:17:33.000 No that's awesome.

01:17:34.000 Yeah.

01:17:35.000 I don't know if you've heard about this.

01:17:36.000 I have not heard about that, no.

01:17:38.000 This is a terrible segment, and I will do more research on it.

01:17:41.000 It's all remediation.

01:17:41.000 No way this is the best segment on Planet Earth.

01:17:43.000 Well, I find it really interesting because it's about, like, hey, how we as a community can go back to sort of turning the land into something.

01:17:49.000 I mean, I think, you know, the purpose of people being on Earth is to use, create, renew, and kind of keep cycles going.

01:17:56.000 So if they're able to make a small business out of this, that's fascinating.

01:17:59.000 Paul Tascalo says Marzalago.

01:18:01.000 Marzalago.

01:18:02.000 That's a good one.

01:18:03.000 I sound like Marzalvania.

01:18:04.000 Yeah, Marzalvania.

01:18:05.000 And with the lavender fields, are they, it's where like there used to be caves where they

01:18:10.000 were mining coal?

01:18:11.000 Yeah, it's, I don't know what the qualifications for the land are, but you know, basically

01:18:14.000 the, you know, West Virginia is famous for its coal mines and their coal mines that have

01:18:18.000 been shut down and the companies that have left them or sold them, whatever.

01:18:21.000 The soil is not like in its best state.

01:18:24.000 It has issues.

01:18:25.000 And so they're planting lavender fields and then they're harvesting it and using it, turning

01:18:29.000 it into different things.

01:18:30.000 And it's sort of this, this business that I think is kind of unique to West Virginia.

01:18:33.000 I mean, I wonder what kinds of possibilities there are if we were to look at these things

01:18:38.000 as cycles and not just like, oh, you had a coal mine there.

01:18:42.000 And so now we hate it, hate the state.

01:18:44.000 I mean, that's why I feel like the Biden administration treats coal dependent places like they are sort of done and gone from the past.

01:18:51.000 I'm wondering if the added, like, biomatter would cause these mines to collapse.

01:18:56.000 You know, because that's a real risk, and especially around here on the eastern seaboard is old coal towns where you build a neighborhood on top and then sinkhole. 0.99

01:19:04.000 A lot of them are closed formally in some way because of that kind of concern.

01:19:07.000 Do you, with Power for the Future, your company, do you guys get into the mining industry at all?

01:19:11.000 Oh God, yeah.

01:19:11.000 I've been to a ton of coal mines and reclaimed mines, and I've walked on reclaimed mine sites that you would have no idea that X number of years ago this was, whether it's an open pit mine or more like you have in West Virginia where you are actually 3,000, 2,000 feet underground.

01:19:29.000 But yeah, I've seen mine sites that were reclaimed, and this is part of the responsibility of the mine, is to reclaim the land, and you have no idea that that used to be a mine.

01:19:39.000 And they do a brilliant job at it, but they never get any credit for it, because it's just more fun to demonize and blast.

01:19:45.000 I wouldn't be surprised if when you do reclaim a mine, if the soil is maybe not conducive to growing corn.

01:19:50.000 I don't know.

01:19:52.000 They said it's like the chemistry of it, like you need to kind of fix the soil until the lavender is able to take out whatever heavy metal or whatever the issue is.

01:19:58.000 You know, but again, you said something just earlier that I want to latch on to, when we were joking about the rocket ships and all that, and Hannah Clare, you said something like, they never have any hope, right?

01:20:08.000 And I think that's what we're missing so much from our conversations.

01:20:10.000 It's Kamala Harris talking about, you know, we have to reduce population. 1.00

01:20:15.000 There's never talk about aspirations to go to Mars, or how do we take this soil and do something with it, or how do we turn daikon into...

01:20:24.000 We've lost the idea to dream about anything positive.

01:20:28.000 We haven't.

01:20:29.000 This room hasn't, certainly, by any means.

01:20:31.000 You guys are all dreamers.

01:20:32.000 But our political leaders have.

01:20:34.000 Everything is so, we're going to die right now unless we vote for more.

01:20:39.000 Everything is so apocalyptic and depressing.

01:20:43.000 They're investigating their inner selves.

01:20:46.000 That's why your personal truth and your identity is so important to you, but they're not investigating

01:20:51.000 their environments.

01:20:52.000 I think there's a saying about how we still don't know what's in our oceans, like the

01:20:55.000 amount of unexplored territory that's beneath water.

01:20:59.000 That's why Atlantis is such a popular talking point because people don't know.

01:21:02.000 But I think part of this is the obsession with self and forcing everyone to think about

01:21:06.000 themselves constantly all the time is part of the intentional destruction of society,

01:21:11.000 Like if you're – like you're saying, if you hear everything is awful and this is the end of times and democracy and whatever else, you're fearful, right?

01:21:17.000 you're scared and you're kind of looking for immediate relief.

01:21:21.000 And so anyone's able to kind of offer you pseudo solutions and might be able to temporarily

01:21:26.000 get you to vote for them until they can create another crisis that gets you scared again.

01:21:29.000 And it's on the cycle.

01:21:30.000 I'm talking about you, Democrats.

01:21:32.000 But I think it is a big difference.

01:21:33.000 And I've said this about the Trump campaign a couple of times.

01:21:35.000 I really do feel like when I've seen Trump speak and I've been able to see him a couple

01:21:38.000 different times over the years, it is much more about like, we're going to do this thing.

01:21:42.000 We're going to accomplish this.

01:21:43.000 And, you know, I know there are, you know, flaws to everyone.

01:21:45.000 I'm not saying Trump is totally perfect or that everything in his administration will

01:21:48.000 turn it around.

01:21:49.000 But the messaging feels very different from every Democrat that I see run that is like,

01:21:53.000 you got to be scared of that guy.

01:21:55.000 You have to be fearful and they're coming for your rights.

01:21:57.000 And it's much more fear and individual focus.

01:22:01.000 And when we talk about these things, like being able to say, well, why don't we build a rocket or why don't we You know, figure out what does reclaiming a coal mine look like and what are our possibilities and what cool thing can we do with this?

01:22:14.000 That kind of hopefulness is someone who is solution-oriented and believes that the world they're in is worth pursuing and investing in.

01:22:21.000 And I think so much of what culture has fed people right now is to say, like, just focus on yourself and what you can get out of this and how it benefits you and what your issues are and don't think beyond that.

01:22:32.000 And that's a very oppressive mindset to have because it doesn't allow for any

01:22:38.000 creativity or imagination.

01:22:39.000 That was so, so well said. It really was. I mean, you summarize exactly what I'm thinking.

01:22:43.000 You're my favorite guest today!

01:22:45.000 I mean, and you nailed it. And that's where my dislike for President Biden stems for,

01:22:50.000 again, I joked earlier that I'm the oldest one in the room, and so I've been following his campaign for a very long

01:22:55.000 time.

01:22:56.000 Well, because I know for a fact, but I mean, Joe Biden, when he was in his lucid days,

01:23:05.000 told a crowd of young black kids, Mitt Romney is going to put you all back in chains, right? 0.68

01:23:12.000 Everything was, you're going to die, people are out to get you.

01:23:15.000 His Pride talk, or really Jill gave it, you know, like, they're coming after you and they're going after your rights, but we're going to fight.

01:23:23.000 Everything is, the whole world is out to get you.

01:23:25.000 And everyone is, everything is negative.

01:23:28.000 Everything is fearful.

01:23:29.000 The environment's out to get you.

01:23:31.000 Everyone is on the brink of death.

01:23:34.000 But for the government that is going to protect you.

01:23:36.000 And boy, it's just such a dour and miserable message to tell you people over and over again.

01:23:41.000 I see it like is a is like a constant state of triage.

01:23:44.000 Like if someone's bleeding out, you don't have time to think about the future.

01:23:47.000 You've got to just fix the problem.

01:23:49.000 And there is like a state of constant triage, mental triage.

01:23:52.000 Joy Reid was talking a few days ago, and she was like, we as Democrats, we're scared.

01:23:57.000 We're always afraid, and I don't want to misquote exactly what she said, but she was just blatantly saying, we're terrified.

01:24:02.000 She's bringing other people into her cult of fear. 0.97

01:24:06.000 And it was just so sad to watch.

01:24:08.000 But they're the ones with the hammers who are smashing everything up while claiming they're scared.

01:24:11.000 Right.

01:24:11.000 I was going to say, they're triaging while also cutting you somewhere else so you continue to bleed.

01:24:15.000 Because if you don't need to heal, if you don't need triage, but someone that's all they know how to do, they're going to end up injuring you in order to triage you.

01:24:22.000 It's a perpetuating cycle of obsessive Do you know stories about, like, firefighters who become obsessed with, like, then they kind of get into pyromania?

01:24:31.000 Like, they start lighting fires for the glory of being like, I have saved everyone!

01:24:34.000 That's the Democratic Party right now.

01:24:36.000 My dad one time said... I don't know if it's, like, a huge thing, but it's a story I've heard before that there's occasionally people who will, like, create a crisis so they can come in and be the hero and save it.

01:24:44.000 And that's the DNC completely all the time.

01:24:47.000 It's like Munchausen Syndrome.

01:24:50.000 My dad was a fireman, and Tim's father also was a fireman.

01:24:53.000 My dad, one time I was asking him about fire, he was like, you gotta love it to kill it.

01:24:57.000 And I was like, oh god, that's deep, dude.

01:24:58.000 But he never went so far as to like the fires, but he did start to gain a love of the danger of the enemy.

01:25:05.000 Obsession, almost.

01:25:06.000 Obsessive love with the thing that he had to destroy.

01:25:08.000 I'm sure for firefighters in particular, it's like you have to respect that this is a very serious thing.

01:25:11.000 It's incredibly hot.

01:25:12.000 It has the ability to do whatever.

01:25:14.000 And so you're sort of recognizing that it's a real threat.

01:25:16.000 There's sort of a weird kind of respect there.

01:25:18.000 But, you know, I don't think Democrats respect their voters when they try to intentionally keep them scared and compliant.

01:25:26.000 I don't think that that's the attitude you want and I think as a culture, it's extremely toxic.

01:25:30.000 It is cancerous to the moral spirit of the country.

01:25:34.000 If you feel like every day you are not valued and everything is about to fall apart and anything you love could be taken from you, then why pursue anything great?

01:25:44.000 Why pursue a better life?

01:25:46.000 Because really it's all – your motivation is not there.

01:25:50.000 There's nothing to live for.

01:25:51.000 Obama was great at giving people hope in the beginning.

01:25:54.000 Hope and Change was his campaign.

01:25:55.000 Well, he said it, but did he actually give people hope?

01:25:58.000 People just liked the warm, fuzzy feel.

01:26:01.000 He gave me hope in 2008.

01:26:02.000 I was like, okay.

01:26:03.000 Can we get some water?

01:26:05.000 Can we get some water over here?

01:26:06.000 People were always fainting at his events and he'd call out.

01:26:08.000 He's a hero.

01:26:09.000 We need some water.

01:26:10.000 He's turning up the thermostat so everyone falls over.

01:26:13.000 When Trump was running in 2016, one of my biggest criticisms was that I felt like he was perpetuating the fear. 0.98

01:26:18.000 That he was like, things suck, everything's bad, everything's a problem, we gotta make it good again because it all sucks. 0.98

01:26:24.000 And he doesn't do that anymore. 0.95

01:26:26.000 He's changed.

01:26:26.000 I've seen him change a lot in the last seven years.

01:26:28.000 Now he's talking about golf swings.

01:26:30.000 Yeah, and like, I mean, at least he says his retribution is gonna be making, like, is gonna be making the world better.

01:26:36.000 Making life better.

01:26:36.000 Success, yeah.

01:26:38.000 And which is way better than being like, my retribution is gonna be get the bad guy, like, go destroy the evil.

01:26:42.000 He's not obsessed with the danger and the destruction anymore as much as he used to be, which is great.

01:26:47.000 I think social media has made it so lucrative.

01:26:49.000 On Pop Culture Crisis, we call it the trauma economy, right?

01:26:52.000 So like, it's just so, and we talked about sad fishing, Hannah Clay, right before the show started, right?

01:26:58.000 People love the sob stories.

01:26:59.000 No one wants to see the cat get saved out of the tree anymore.

01:27:02.000 They just, they want to see the car crash.

01:27:04.000 They want to see the house on fire.

01:27:05.000 I like seeing the cat get saved out of the tree.

01:27:07.000 The cat goodies out of the tree are like, wow, that's awesome.

01:27:09.000 Like that guy stepped up and did something and helped that cat.

01:27:12.000 You know, I watched a video with this guy who's like kind of, he's like a tree climber.

01:27:15.000 He like cuts limbs off trees when they're dead.

01:27:16.000 And so he's good at climbing them.

01:27:18.000 And so he has made this sort of a side hustle where he saves cats from trees.

01:27:21.000 Cats gotta stop climbing trees.

01:27:22.000 What are they doing?

01:27:23.000 Look.

01:27:23.000 Cats, they can't be tamed.

01:27:25.000 But the thing is, ultimately, the goal of these things is to say, like, wow, there was a problem and you fixed it.

01:27:31.000 That's good.

01:27:31.000 Whereas I don't think that's what Biden's saying.

01:27:34.000 I get what you're saying about Trump.

01:27:35.000 You know, there is a level of, like, calling out the problem, being like, things are bad.

01:27:38.000 It can produce anxiety.

01:27:39.000 On the other hand, his whole thing was make America great again.

01:27:42.000 He was like, we can fix it.

01:27:44.000 That's a very positive message to put out.

01:27:46.000 Being like, they're coming for everything you love.

01:27:49.000 The only thing you can do is vote for me.

01:27:50.000 And by the way, I fell asleep maybe on a debate stage and couldn't keep my words together.

01:27:54.000 Like, this is not, that ain't it, chief.

01:27:56.000 There's a new phenomenon of videos of guys doing lawn work.

01:27:59.000 Have you ever seen these landscaping?

01:28:01.000 And they'll like speed it up and then they'll go in with like cut the things.

01:28:03.000 I mean, talk about making things better, solving problems and making money doing it.

01:28:07.000 That's my favorite thing when you walk around and there are a lot of towns in this area that are like this where you know they were maybe prosperous back in the day, falling on hard times but people are coming in and starting to like fix up older homes and you see them like planting flowers and like I feel like there's one neighborhood I walk in where every time I walk through it I feel like I can see just a little bit of change like someone is just taking pride of the house that they just bought and they're They're pouring into it.

01:28:31.000 That's what you want to see.

01:28:32.000 You want to be on the cusp of things getting better.

01:28:34.000 And I think that, again, requires messaging hopefulness, not just like, Daniel, the world is falling apart.

01:28:41.000 I love you.

01:28:41.000 Vote for me.

01:28:42.000 Threat to our democracy.

01:28:43.000 I mean, it's been four years of threat to our democracy, threat to our democracy, the Supreme Court.

01:28:48.000 I just once would love to see a powerful Democrat In an official statement, just speak with a normal tone, right?

01:28:56.000 I disagree with the Supreme Court decision.

01:28:58.000 I thought it was not correct.

01:28:59.000 I would side with Sonia Sotomayor, but the court has spoken.

01:29:03.000 Every Democrat was, the court has been hijacked by the right-wing extremists.

01:29:09.000 Everything is so over the top.

01:29:11.000 Everything is so, it becomes exhausting after a while.

01:29:14.000 I think that's a really good point because also, if you're in crisis, who are you looking towards?

01:29:18.000 The person who is screaming and panicking and hyperventilating or the person who's staying calm and being like, we're going to fix this?

01:29:25.000 They're messaging hysterics and then expecting you to trust them to make good decisions.

01:29:29.000 What's Bernie been saying?

01:29:30.000 Because he used to be pretty calm and straightforward.

01:29:32.000 He used to, but Bernie's also 86 at this point.

01:29:37.000 His iconic mittens crossed arms moment.

01:29:39.000 I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie's hitting his end of the rope as well.

01:29:43.000 I mean, these are a lot of old folks and Biden has introduced a whole new, I mean, obviously the president is term limited, but age limits, cognitive tests for elected officials. 0.89

01:29:54.000 I mean, we've talked a lot about term limits and the House and the Senate.

01:29:57.000 I would go back to the Dianne Feinstein example.

01:29:59.000 She was not retiring.

01:30:00.000 She was lucid enough to know, oh, I'm the senator.

01:30:02.000 I don't know what we're voting on, but I'm not stepping aside.

01:30:05.000 Even when she made her announcement that she was going to retire, do you remember this story?

01:30:09.000 They made the announcement official from her office, the press release went out, and then a reporter asked about it and she was like, I'm not retiring.

01:30:14.000 Oh, they didn't tell me that.

01:30:16.000 It was honestly so sad because it was like, let her retire and live her life.

01:30:22.000 Do you think anybody at this table, because I don't know, There's an heir apparent for Bernie's movement?

01:30:28.000 Or is it too cold?

01:30:30.000 Jake was way too chill for the Democratic Party.

01:30:34.000 Too chill or chill?

01:30:36.000 Chill.

01:30:36.000 Yeah, he was towing the line.

01:30:39.000 He was trying to play progressive and establishment Democrat at the same time.

01:30:44.000 And I can understand trying to have some kind of unity, but it don't work.

01:30:47.000 Andrew Yang.

01:30:48.000 I think Andrew Yang could be a spiritual successor to Bernie.

01:30:51.000 I haven't met him yet.

01:30:54.000 Andrew Yang had this whole thing after Biden's debate, and he's like, we need to defend him.

01:30:58.000 He's lost a lot.

01:30:59.000 And also, like, what Democrat out there is a socialist with multiple houses?

01:31:04.000 Yeah.

01:31:04.000 AOC wants to be the heir apparent.

01:31:06.000 Maybe, maybe.

01:31:07.000 To the Bernie movement or just to anything.

01:31:09.000 Bernie is a lot more likable than AOC is.

01:31:13.000 I mean, she had that rally with Bernie Sanders to help Jamal Bowman just a couple days ago.

01:31:18.000 It was only the three of them.

01:31:19.000 I gotta say it though, but when she jumped up on stage and pulled her hair down and was 1.00

01:31:24.000 screaming, I don't know who gave her that advice. 0.85

01:31:28.000 But there is...

01:31:31.000 There are character personas.

01:31:35.000 There's a reason why in movies they cast people.

01:31:38.000 Because if you...

01:31:39.000 Was it Tom Hiddleston's his name, right?

01:31:42.000 He plays Loki.

01:31:43.000 He originally tried to be Thor.

01:31:46.000 I'm sorry, but that guy could not be Thor.

01:31:48.000 Thor is played by, what's his face?

01:31:51.000 Chris Hemsworth.

01:31:52.000 Hemsworth.

01:31:52.000 Who's like super tall and jacked.

01:31:55.000 And looks like Thor.

01:31:56.000 And looks like Thor.

01:31:57.000 And so Tom Hiddleston.

01:31:58.000 Thor plays Chris Hemsworth.

01:32:01.000 So the thing is, like, if you get Tom Hiddleston to put on this, you can Google search the videos of him testing, doing the test screenings or whatever, and it's like, yeah, no, it doesn't work.

01:32:11.000 When AOC goes up on stage and she- another one.

01:32:13.000 When she plays this, it's like, it don't work.

01:32:18.000 Yeah, it's weird.

01:32:18.000 And it's not you.

01:32:19.000 Because I thought she was messaging like she's this cool suave girl in politics and that did not seem cool or suave in any way.

01:32:26.000 No, that struck me as a... Back to the fly killing.

01:32:30.000 Fly hunt 2024.

01:32:31.000 As someone who is from Queens, that struck me as a rich girl from Westchester playing the part of what a Queens Puerto Rican should behave like. 1.00

01:32:40.000 And so she was playing a caricature.

01:32:42.000 She's not from the area she represents.

01:32:44.000 She's maybe lived there for a little while.

01:32:47.000 But I mean, if I decided to run for office from my district in rural Virginia, and suddenly I showed up with like a bolo tie, and I had a lasso around my belt, people would be like, calm down.

01:33:01.000 Like, yes, you're a sheep farmer.

01:33:02.000 And I actually do have boots and a hat.

01:33:05.000 You are, in fact, a legitimate shepherd.

01:33:07.000 But calm, slow your roll a little bit.

01:33:09.000 So yeah, that was embarrassing.

01:33:12.000 And that was also desperation.

01:33:14.000 Jamal Bowman knew he was going to get crushed, and he did.

01:33:17.000 But that was embarrassing.

01:33:18.000 What about Hakeem Jeffries?

01:33:19.000 I know the Democrat base unites around him, but I don't really know how old he is.

01:33:24.000 I don't really hear him speak.

01:33:25.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:33:26.000 He's B-tier, you know what I mean?

01:33:27.000 It's got to be AOC.

01:33:28.000 Yeah, AOC maybe.

01:33:29.000 Yeah.

01:33:30.000 He was the conciliatory choice because Pelosi had lost the House again.

01:33:31.000 I think she's the only speaker who came back after losing.

01:33:32.000 We've got to get her back.

01:33:33.000 I think she's the only speaker who came back after losing.

01:33:34.000 We've got to get her back.

01:33:35.000 I think she's the only speaker who came back after losing.

01:33:38.000 back after losing.

01:33:39.000 Normally after you lose the majority and you're no longer speaker, you quit.

01:33:43.000 But Pelosi was like, no, I'm coming back a second time.

01:33:46.000 And she got the job again, shows you how powerful she is. 0.96

01:33:48.000 And I think they didn't know who else to pick as minority leader.

01:33:53.000 So they were like, eh, he's harmless.

01:33:55.000 Probably the same reason why they picked Biden in 2019.

01:33:57.000 I mean, that was the thing of all three of their leadership, that they had sort of been waiting in their wings, and the older crowd was prepared to make an exit.

01:34:04.000 They're like, might as well go now, and you know, you're fine.

01:34:08.000 It didn't seem like super enthusiasm.

01:34:10.000 To answer your question, it looks like he'll be 54 this year, so he is relatively young, but again, I think there is...

01:34:18.000 I think there is a battle for the soul of the Democrat identity in America and what its positions are going to be going forward.

01:34:25.000 And, you know, you did see this with the Republican Party to a certain extent under Donald Trump.

01:34:28.000 I mean, the division between the America first versus like old guard Republican is Real, and I think it has sort of in some ways shaken out.

01:34:37.000 It's not at its peak sort of infighting level as it might have been in the past.

01:34:42.000 But the Democrats are the party of compliance and they don't think they expected to face the ideological questions that they've had to over the last couple years, especially if we see an increase in an interest in populism and a return to more federalist division of powers where we want the states to have more say than the federal government.

01:34:59.000 I don't think the Democratic Party is prepared to handle it, and so I don't think they have a person ready to jump to the helm because they don't know where they want their ship to go.

01:35:09.000 No, and in 2019, again, I'm going to always go back to this because that's when Biden emerged, right?

01:35:13.000 He came out of retirement to defeat Trump.

01:35:15.000 Pre-COVID, Trump was soaring in popularity.

01:35:18.000 The economy was doing great.

01:35:20.000 They needed someone to run against him in 2020.

01:35:23.000 and they had, I think it was 24 people, and that was the, the explanation was,

01:35:28.000 wow, they have a really deep bench, right?

01:35:30.000 They had Kirsten Gillibrand, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, right?

01:35:35.000 So they had young people, they had diverse people.

01:35:37.000 Andrew Yang, right?

01:35:39.000 They had all sorts of ages.

01:35:41.000 What about Eric Yang?

01:35:42.000 Where Eric was running too.

01:35:43.000 Joaquin Phoenix, Joaquin Castro.

01:35:46.000 Everyone was running for the nomination.

01:35:49.000 Where are they now?

01:35:50.000 I don't know.

01:35:51.000 Where are they?

01:35:52.000 They had such a deep bench just five years ago and now they are struggling for one person that they can reconcile behind.

01:35:59.000 It's supposed to be vice president and they can't do that.

01:36:01.000 And I think it really is because their party is losing its own identity.

01:36:05.000 Completely fractured.

01:36:18.000 Clint Torres with the first Super Chat saying, howdy people!

01:36:20.000 Howdy, Clint!

01:36:21.000 Howdy, Ian! 0.51

01:36:22.000 Hope y'all are having an America F-Yeah MAGA month!

01:36:25.000 Please celebrate irresponsibly for me as I'm out of the country and unable to participate properly.

01:36:29.000 Well, I'm gonna take a hot sauna, and it's not gonna be irresponsible, it's gonna be totally responsible.

01:36:33.000 Do you need to set off fireworks, Ian?

01:36:35.000 I don't know about that, actually.

01:36:36.000 Yeah, I'd probably drive to Ohio, go spend some time with the family, maybe light off an explosive or two.

01:36:40.000 Maybe not.

01:36:40.000 I don't know.

01:36:41.000 Did you dye your sheep red, white, and blue?

01:36:44.000 No, but I put it on my Instagram.

01:36:48.000 I hung a flag on the side of the barn, and it's enormous.

01:36:52.000 I think it's like 14 by 20.

01:36:55.000 It's gigantic.

01:36:56.000 And it's huge.

01:36:57.000 And you can see it from every road.

01:36:59.000 Hot take. 0.79

01:37:00.000 I don't like fireworks.

01:37:01.000 Do you guys like fireworks?

01:37:02.000 I don't like them.

01:37:02.000 I've always wondered, what do people love these things for?

01:37:05.000 They go out and they go, yay!

01:37:07.000 Explosion, yay! 1.00

01:37:08.000 And it's like, it's like being at a rock concert and everyone's like screaming and all in unison.

01:37:12.000 It's Ian.

01:37:13.000 It's okay to like things.

01:37:14.000 It's what?

01:37:15.000 It's okay to like things.

01:37:16.000 No, Ian's very counter-cultural.

01:37:17.000 He's very different.

01:37:18.000 Like, what is it about giant explosions in the sky that are like... You don't like fireworks and you don't like rock concerts.

01:37:25.000 Well, I like listening to the music, but I don't like screaming and like, I like fireworks because first you can light them and they do different things.

01:37:41.000 You can get the little UFOs where it's like a little disc and it's got two facing different directions and when you light it It shoots rockets and then spins them.

01:37:51.000 They rise in the air, which is wheels.

01:37:52.000 Those are fun.

01:37:53.000 Roman candles.

01:37:54.000 You shake them.

01:37:55.000 Which are very dangerous, by the way.

01:37:56.000 Be careful.

01:37:56.000 We weren't allowed to use those.

01:37:57.000 You gotta be careful.

01:37:58.000 It's true. 0.99

01:37:58.000 But you can aim them and shoot them in the air. 0.99

01:38:00.000 Then, you've got bottle rockets, which are fun because you also can put them in bottles and you light them yourself.

01:38:06.000 And they launch in the air and you watch them pop.

01:38:08.000 And it's fun.

01:38:09.000 Because you're participating.

01:38:11.000 Now, why do I like watching big fireworks displays?

01:38:14.000 Because they do cool things where a single mortar goes up, and you see an explosion of all of these different colors, and then all of a sudden, the mortars you couldn't see pop, and it makes a picture in the sky!

01:38:24.000 And you're like, man, that's really cool.

01:38:25.000 How'd they do that?

01:38:26.000 That's cool.

01:38:27.000 They have this big thing that launches all with perfect timing, so that You're looking in the sky, and you'll see all of this red, white, and blue, and then all of a sudden, which you don't see because they're too small, all the other mortars go boom, and then all of a sudden there's stars next to it.

01:38:42.000 That's so cool.

01:38:42.000 So the reason we do giant explosives on the 4th is to remember the cannons and the artillery for the War of Independence?

01:38:50.000 I don't believe that's...

01:38:51.000 Accurate no just fireworks were celebratory bombs bursting in airs and I think it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote

01:38:57.000 What was it Ben Franklin? No, it was John Adams who wrote like this day should henceforth be

01:39:03.000 celebration with fireworks and and and He wrote like when the declaration was signed like this day

01:39:10.000 like fireworks should be part of the I think that's always why it's been

01:39:14.000 The I mean there were always for celebration, but he specifically I'm pretty sure it was John Adams specifically

01:39:19.000 said like this day should be celebrated with picnics and sporting events and I have to find the

01:39:25.000 exact quote.

01:39:25.000 By the way, my favorite Roman Candle videos are when the dog grabs the Roman Candle and starts running around the yard.

01:39:32.000 I always love that.

01:39:34.000 There are some really amazing fireworks shows set to music and stuff.

01:39:37.000 It's very cool.

01:39:38.000 Alright, Amos Moses says, would you kindly read my superchats? 0.95

01:39:42.000 I experience the most ignorant or evil person. 0.99

01:39:44.000 The argument was, if you need a book to tell you not to kill, you're a bad person. 0.98

01:39:48.000 I asked, what about unborn humans?

01:39:50.000 They then asked about an unbaked cake. 0.95

01:39:53.000 I said if it was a gay cake, they would force a Christian through the labor of cake baking. 1.00

01:39:58.000 Then they defended the gay cake. 1.00

01:40:00.000 Am I crazy or WTF? 1.00

01:40:03.000 It's hard to follow. 0.99

01:40:05.000 It's a lie.

01:40:07.000 I love that you feel passionately about something.

01:40:09.000 That's great.

01:40:10.000 John Adams, it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shoes, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.

01:40:22.000 So fireworks the ultimate illumination.

01:40:24.000 We need more leaders that write things like that.

01:40:28.000 Well the thing is, he didn't write down everything.

01:40:31.000 And so I'm sure at some point in his life he had some crude joke.

01:40:36.000 Like LOL?

01:40:37.000 No, I'm saying like... Ben Franklin's singing about his buddies and he's like... Drunk as hell.

01:40:42.000 Yeah, and he says some crude joke about women or something and then they all laugh and you have to write it down.

01:40:47.000 Yeah.

01:40:47.000 It's like, why would he?

01:40:48.000 You know what I mean?

01:40:49.000 Now we're in the era where everything you do is written down or spoken or recorded.

01:40:52.000 So, you know, we have these great quotes where it's like, the fathers of this nation have henceforth birthed the greatest creation.

01:40:59.000 And you're like, wow, so honor and honorable and noble.

01:41:02.000 And then you have like Ian Crossland on Twitter being like, you know, sometimes my cat farts and it scares himself.

01:41:07.000 Yeah, I'll talk about poop online a lot.

01:41:09.000 And then it's just like... See, I'm sure Ben Franklin was talking to his buddy at one point in his life, because the dude lived to be like 80-something, and he was like, my dog once farted and scared himself.

01:41:17.000 And all the women he had sex with?

01:41:20.000 And he just never wrote it down.

01:41:21.000 How many illegitimate children did he have?

01:41:23.000 A couple.

01:41:24.000 One of my friends was like, she was reading his memoir, or a story about his life, and she was like, he was America's first F-boy. 0.82

01:41:30.000 Alright, let's grab some more.

01:41:33.000 Because his family's listening.

01:41:35.000 Vasya Bryansk says, just wanted to say hi and thank y'all for helping me, helping keep me motivated to get my CDLA permit the other day, along with the quartering and Mike Rowe.

01:41:45.000 Congrats.

01:41:45.000 Nice job.

01:41:46.000 Yeah, hear, hear.

01:41:48.000 Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr.

01:41:50.000 says, Lincoln once said, quote, My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of Earth.

01:41:58.000 The OG of MAGA.

01:42:00.000 Hope everyone has a beautiful tomorrow.

01:42:01.000 Forward the line.

01:42:02.000 Thank you, Raymond.

01:42:03.000 Great line.

01:42:05.000 Alex Gray says, Tim, consider having on depressed ginger.

01:42:08.000 Who's that?

01:42:10.000 Who's that?

01:42:10.000 I don't know.

01:42:11.000 I've never heard ginger.

01:42:13.000 No idea.

01:42:13.000 Is that Jim Psaki?

01:42:15.000 Is it a vegetable?

01:42:15.000 You're welcome to come on.

01:42:19.000 All right.

01:42:20.000 Millennial Republic says, watching the MSM do, uh, what does it say?

01:42:24.000 Do dama- oh, damage, because it says damage.

01:42:27.000 Damage control on the, on the-sisters?

01:42:31.000 Lies. 0.99

01:42:32.000 I think it's a typo.

01:42:33.000 Their lies about Biden's health has been glorious.

01:42:35.000 Thanks for what you guys do.

01:42:37.000 Here's 50 bucks for some fireworks.

01:42:39.000 Happy MAGA month.

01:42:40.000 Nice.

01:42:40.000 Give them all to Ian.

01:42:42.000 No, Ian hates fireworks and fun.

01:42:44.000 I'll make sure they find a nice home.

01:42:46.000 Adam says, Sup Tims?

01:42:47.000 It feels like we're playing the card game The Resistance and the Dems are the bad guys.

01:42:51.000 Never played it.

01:42:52.000 We're working on a card game.

01:42:54.000 I don't know where Dane's at with it yet though.

01:42:57.000 But we should be ready to launch really really soon.

01:42:59.000 Nice.

01:42:59.000 It'll be very fun.

01:42:59.000 It's called Debate Me.

01:43:00.000 I think I worked on some of those cards.

01:43:02.000 Yeah.

01:43:03.000 Debate Me is the game.

01:43:04.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:43:05.000 Awesome.

01:43:06.000 Alright, Grofty says it's MAGA month, keep your fingers attached, don't play with fireworks, and don't drink and drive.

01:43:12.000 Love to America, and say hello to your neighbors.

01:43:14.000 That is some conservative advice, Grofty.

01:43:16.000 Elf Treehug says, are we doing the World Series of Poker next year?

01:43:20.000 No.

01:43:21.000 I don't like poker tournaments.

01:43:23.000 They're not fun.

01:43:25.000 It's not my thing.

01:43:25.000 Have you done one before?

01:43:26.000 No.

01:43:27.000 I've won one.

01:43:27.000 I went all in.

01:43:28.000 Really?

01:43:29.000 Got a couple pocket aces in one, yeah.

01:43:31.000 Took it down to the end.

01:43:31.000 I had a deal with my friend.

01:43:32.000 I'm like, if either one of us win, the TV's going at your house, because there's this big, giant screen.

01:43:36.000 So the both of us landed at the final table of 12, and I saw him across the table.

01:43:39.000 I ended up taking all his money and winning the tournament with it.

01:43:41.000 I mean, he lost.

01:43:42.000 Genuinely lost.

01:43:43.000 We both wanted to beat each other.

01:43:44.000 But the only tournament I ever played in, I won.

01:43:46.000 Nice job.

01:43:47.000 I like cash games.

01:43:48.000 I said I was going to win before the tournament, too.

01:43:49.000 It's online, a video of me saying, I'm going to win this tournament tonight.

01:43:52.000 Yeah.

01:43:53.000 Manifestation.

01:43:54.000 My confidence was off the record.

01:43:56.000 But I love watching the World Series of Poker.

01:43:59.000 Uh, that, you know, poker's an interesting game.

01:44:02.000 It's, it's, there's, it's, I think this year's probably going to be the biggest it's ever been.

01:44:07.000 And the top prize, was it last year, like 17 million or some ridiculous number?

01:44:10.000 Oh good lord!

01:44:11.000 Yeah.

01:44:11.000 I didn't know it was that big.

01:44:13.000 10,000 entrants and $10,000 to enter.

01:44:17.000 World Series of Poker.

01:44:18.000 And the problem, the thing I don't like about poker tournaments, you know, I'll watch the World Series, it's

01:44:23.000 like, dude, there's way too much in poker of, a guy gets kings, and the

01:44:30.000 other guy's got aces, and it's over, and it's like, what are you supposed to do?

01:44:34.000 You know what I mean? So, I also don't like Magic the Gathering tournaments, because the win rate for pros is

01:44:39.000 like 51%, boring.

01:44:42.000 I like more skill games. Poker's fun, cash games are fun, because you sit down, you can assess the players you're

01:44:48.000 playing against, and you can determine whether or not you're going to be a

01:44:50.000 winning player or a losing player right there.

01:44:52.000 With tournaments, it's not too dissimilar, but it's a different game.

01:44:57.000 What I like about tournaments is that you can't buy back in.

01:45:00.000 You might have one or two binds.

01:45:02.000 No, there's tons of tournaments with buy-ins.

01:45:03.000 Some buy-ins, but it's not like rich guy can bring in 50 times the amount of chips of you and then push you out.

01:45:09.000 Like, you're kind of on the same... Sort of, sort of true.

01:45:12.000 But there's tons of tournaments that have limited rebuys or unlimited rebuys.

01:45:16.000 And there's tournaments that do unlimited rebuys up to a certain amount of time.

01:45:19.000 Yeah.

01:45:19.000 And so what people do in those tournaments is they'll sit down and they'll look down at Ace Queen and they'll, I'm all in.

01:45:26.000 And then they'll look down at Jack 10, I'm all in.

01:45:28.000 And if they lose, they go, whatever, buyback!

01:45:30.000 That's not... I mean, some people like that.

01:45:34.000 You don't gotta play that.

01:45:35.000 I don't think the World Series main event has rebuys.

01:45:37.000 I think you're in, you're in, you're out, you're out.

01:45:41.000 It's fun to watch because it's exciting, but it's also not a game where you, like, it's 20% luck.

01:45:49.000 Yeah, it is.

01:45:49.000 Right?

01:45:49.000 It's about 80% scale, 20% luck.

01:45:50.000 I don't like dice.

01:45:52.000 It's not dice.

01:45:54.000 You've got to know how to play.

01:45:55.000 I mean, if you're playing fast and loose and you go all in with Jack 5 offsuit, you're probably not going to last long.

01:46:00.000 I won the tournament with a Jack 6 offsuit.

01:46:02.000 Actually, it might have been suited.

01:46:03.000 There is a viral video coming out from a guy who ended up winning against two guys who had Ace-King but he had Jack-5.

01:46:09.000 However, that being said, Jack-5 could be the appropriate play, assuming that these two guys are both playing Ace-King, they're blocking each other, they're not going to make a pair and you're going to win.

01:46:17.000 He hit the 5 on the river, he ended up winning, and then some guy got accused of cheating for pulling his chips back because the tournament's poorly managed.

01:46:25.000 I just realized I won that tournament with a J6.

01:46:27.000 It's all about that J6. 1.00

01:46:31.000 I like cash games.

01:46:32.000 Cash games are fun.

01:46:33.000 You can sit down, you can figure out the players, and if it's not a table for you, you can get

01:46:37.000 up and leave.

01:46:38.000 And there's no strings, and it's just you do your thing.

01:46:40.000 Tournaments it's like, oh man, if you're in the World Series of Poker main event, you're

01:46:45.000 sitting there for, what is it, 14 days?

01:46:47.000 It's two weeks.

01:46:47.000 Oh, wow.

01:46:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:46:49.000 It's the 3rd to the 17th, or it might end, actually.

01:46:52.000 Yeah, I think it might be that long.

01:46:54.000 I'm not sure.

01:46:54.000 No, I think it might be 10 days.

01:46:56.000 Wow.

01:46:56.000 That's a lot of poker.

01:46:57.000 It's a lot of poker.

01:46:59.000 And then, like, people get wiped out, and they get super tired.

01:47:02.000 But hey, if you win, you win.

01:47:03.000 Yeah, don't drink when you're playing poker.

01:47:05.000 I don't got, you know, two weeks to sit around playing poker.

01:47:09.000 That's not my thing.

01:47:10.000 Play like once a week, maybe.

01:47:12.000 Phil Parnell says, Tim, love the long stream morning shows.

01:47:15.000 Maybe keep to Thursday.

01:47:16.000 Also, I'm active military and there's a group of MTG dudes I work with who would slay your PT standards for that competition.

01:47:24.000 Just saying.

01:47:26.000 Oh yeah, so one idea someone had this morning for a Magic Gathering tournament was, before the tournament starts, you've got to do pull-ups, and the amount of pull-ups you do is how much your HP is in the game.

01:47:37.000 Yeah, Ian gets it.

01:47:38.000 And I said, actually, you know what would be a better idea is 10 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, and 10 burpees.

01:47:44.000 That determines your life total in the Commander game, because you have 40 HP in Commander.

01:47:48.000 Multiplayer.

01:47:49.000 And if you can't do it, you're going to start the game super weak and get knocked out.

01:47:53.000 And whoever does it first gets to go first.

01:47:55.000 I like that.

01:47:56.000 Yeah.

01:47:57.000 Everyone, go!

01:47:58.000 Good idea.

01:47:59.000 Yeah, 10 pull-ups, 10 burpees, 10 sit-ups, and 10 push-ups.

01:48:02.000 You guys said MTG, and I thought you were talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

01:48:05.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene, exactly.

01:48:07.000 That's awesome.

01:48:07.000 The active military group loves Marjorie Taylor Greene.

01:48:10.000 That's awesome.

01:48:10.000 You know what's weird, though?

01:48:12.000 I have a question for you.

01:48:13.000 We're nerds.

01:48:14.000 I'm curious your thoughts on this.

01:48:15.000 We're the nerds.

01:48:16.000 Chess players.

01:48:17.000 Watch a chess tournament.

01:48:18.000 What do you see?

01:48:19.000 People of all different shapes and sizes.

01:48:23.000 People are average.

01:48:24.000 You watch a chess tournament. 0.93

01:48:28.000 Average people, Magic the Gathering, everyone's morbidly obese. 0.98

01:48:31.000 It's gotta be the silly 80 to 90 percent. 0.95

01:48:32.000 Yeah, but chess players, I don't get it.

01:48:34.000 Are chess players like getting exercise in because they know it's better for their minds?

01:48:38.000 What about Magic the Gathering specifically has an 80 to 90 percent morbid obesity rate?

01:48:43.000 I think because game shops sell Diet soda and like Mountain Dew and chess places don't.

01:48:50.000 Like a library or something.

01:48:51.000 Back when Tumblr was a thing, there was a guy whose whole Tumblr was photos of butt cracks at Magic the Gathering.

01:48:57.000 Remember that?

01:48:58.000 He would selfie himself.

01:49:00.000 No, no, no. 0.97

01:49:01.000 His friend would take a picture of him, of him crouching down like this next to someone's exposed butt crack. 0.99

01:49:08.000 Because it was a whole bunch of big fat guys. 0.95

01:49:10.000 I don't understand why Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast tolerate that culture.

01:49:15.000 In their game.

01:49:16.000 It is a limiting factor for their business.

01:49:19.000 It is hard to get people interested in this game because of things like that.

01:49:24.000 And the truth is, you need to be sharp.

01:49:26.000 You need to have a really good memory and be good at math to win those games.

01:49:31.000 Allison and I were playing Commander over at Mamba Collectibles in Martinsburg, shout out.

01:49:36.000 And it's, so there's four players, and the two guys, we know the guy who works there, he's playing with us, he brought his friend, came to sit down, we're playing four player, and Allison says something like, you know, it's the end of my turn, and she's like, I think I have something I can play, search my library, and we all go, Mystical Tutor.

01:49:53.000 We all instantly knew exactly what card she was looking at, just because we know all the cards.

01:49:58.000 and like we the amount of land she had available she said i think i can play a thing and we're like

01:50:01.000 mythical deer like we we know what you're doing we know what card you're looking at there's no

01:50:05.000 other card you would consider playing right now i just think that's absolutely hilarious that like

01:50:09.000 we'll be sitting at a game and you know she she's only played maybe like 16 17 games so far in her 0.97

01:50:14.000 life she's actually pretty good at it and she'll say something like i don't know if this guy makes

01:50:19.000 sense level oh lighthouse chronologist He instantly could just name the card.

01:50:24.000 But if this culture focused on... if Hasbro, and they have a hard time... Magic the Gathering, the first trading card game ever made.

01:50:35.000 And now you've got Pokemon, you've got Yu-Gi-Oh!, you've got Lorkana, you've got all these other games, and they're massively popular, they're billion-dollar industries.

01:50:42.000 If they just focused on...

01:50:44.000 Creating something that would inspire younger people, they would sell like hotcakes. 0.99

01:50:51.000 So now what Hasbro's telling investors is they have to focus on what's called universes beyond, where they've made Fallout, Warhammer, they're making Assassin's Creed.

01:50:59.000 They're like, we have this great game format of Magic the Gathering, but the IP is boring.

01:51:03.000 So we need to go after other IP. 0.78

01:51:05.000 And I'm like, the reason your IP is bad is because your community is a bunch of slovenly, morbidly obese people.

01:51:11.000 And I'm not trying to be mean to this community, but it's true.

01:51:14.000 So when young people see this, they're like, I don't want to be part of that.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, because you don't want to be, you don't want to, you don't want to be the loser in

01:51:20.000 school.

01:51:21.000 So the basic, basically MTG is only ever advocated for the people who are not taking care of

01:51:26.000 themselves.

01:51:28.000 You need to have a pro tour where the people are something that young people look up to

01:51:32.000 and they think I want to be that.

01:51:34.000 Now what they're doing is they're going, okay, how about Fallout instead?

01:51:36.000 Oh yeah, because Fallout is a separate IP, a separate video game, people will like it, and you're going to buy the cards because you like Fallout.

01:51:42.000 They need to foster their community better.

01:51:44.000 Instead, they've done pronouns, they've banned people, they've just...

01:51:49.000 They've made it worse for themselves.

01:51:51.000 Yeah.

01:51:51.000 I was just thinking about giving creatures pronouns.

01:51:54.000 If it was like a he or a she, her, the creature. 1.00

01:51:57.000 In the pro tour, they put the pronouns under their name.

01:51:59.000 And of course, all the pronouns are always the normal biological.

01:52:02.000 I was kind of lucky to have a group of friends that were really smart in high school and not obese.

01:52:08.000 But it was before obesity became a real thing, like 1994.

01:52:10.000 You know, it was really the high fructose got into the culture right in 1993 and started poisoning.

01:52:16.000 Yeah, right.

01:52:19.000 There's a big debate right now over what people call brain sports, eSports, chess, card games, and why women aren't in the top ranks of these. 1.00

01:52:29.000 If the argument is that men have a biological advantage with muscle mass and bone density, where are the top female chess players and poker players? 1.00

01:52:35.000 There's very, very, very few.

01:52:37.000 And so another component of this is, of course, When you look at a lot of these esports, average guys, skinny guys, and I'll tell you this, South Park made that joke where they played World of Warcraft and all got morbidly obese.

01:52:51.000 That is ridiculously false.

01:52:54.000 And if they spent five minutes looking into it, they would have actually got it right.

01:52:59.000 And that is, several people died playing MMORPGs because they were wasting away.

01:53:06.000 They play this game to the point of addiction and they don't eat or drink.

01:53:10.000 And so it's actually, like, it's a negative when you, when we used to play World of Warcraft, and it's like, hey, we're going to go raid, like, Ankaraj or something.

01:53:17.000 And I'm like, Bio.

01:53:17.000 And they go, oh, come on, man.

01:53:19.000 It's like, dude, I got to go to the bathroom.

01:53:21.000 And they're like, just wait.

01:53:21.000 I'm like, I can't.

01:53:23.000 And it was actually because you have 40 people, 39 other people, and they're waiting on you.

01:53:27.000 And so when I played World of Warcraft Vanilla, I dropped like 15 pounds.

01:53:32.000 Wow.

01:53:32.000 Because you don't eat or drink.

01:53:34.000 You're sitting there just gaming nonstop.

01:53:36.000 And you're like, oh, I haven't eaten all day.

01:53:37.000 That's why I'm so skinny with my life.

01:53:38.000 Probably, you're playing, what are you playing, Starcraft?

01:53:40.000 Right now I'm playing Backpack Battles.

01:53:42.000 There you go.

01:53:42.000 Like crazy, earlier today, it's like chess.

01:53:44.000 But it's like, you're challenging yourself, and then you go PvP and see who did better.

01:53:48.000 Yeah, we weren't, like my brother too, we both weren't eating.

01:53:51.000 We would eat like a half a meal a day, and then just sit there on the computer, talking with people, we'd be in TeamSpeak, we'd be hanging out, and we'd just be like, I don't got time to go eat.

01:54:00.000 I want to give a special shout out to Fan Hotz, who's one of my favorite esports players at the moment.

01:54:05.000 It's Fan H-O-T-S. 1.00

01:54:06.000 He plays a lot of Heroes of the Storm.

01:54:07.000 Great guy.

01:54:08.000 Check out his YouTube channel.

01:54:09.000 Brilliant dude.

01:54:10.000 So Surge says, people who play Magic eat like ish, and the culture encourages it.

01:54:15.000 Also, chess isn't like Magic because you play ahead and plan many, many potential games.

01:54:20.000 They burn tons and tons of calories while playing.

01:54:25.000 I thought you were on vacation!

01:54:28.000 Magic burns tons of calories.

01:54:31.000 Because you're thinking.

01:54:32.000 Yeah, it's all brain heat.

01:54:33.000 A lot of heat's generated from thought.

01:54:35.000 It's not just that, it's that your brain uses calories.

01:54:36.000 It takes a lot, you know?

01:54:38.000 And to understand magic, it's chess and poker combined.

01:54:42.000 So you're not just dealing with a single chess board where you're planning in advance.

01:54:46.000 All of these pro magic players, they do the same thing chess players do.

01:54:50.000 They have pro teams, they have managers, and they try to solve decks, and they'll say to the guy who's competing, they'll say, okay, you're going to be going up against in this tournament, the top three decks are these decks, right now everyone's playing this one, you're going to need this in your sideboard, you're going to need this, and they actually playtest out these decks against a bunch of other decks, and try and consider what their opponent has at the time.

01:55:13.000 It's very similar.

01:55:15.000 It's just, I think it's the culture.

01:55:17.000 You go to a card shop and they've got Cheetos and Doritos and Mountain Dew in the vending machine, and they're like, eat away, friends.

01:55:23.000 And then they encourage it.

01:55:25.000 The company encourages it.

01:55:26.000 And they get mocked for it.

01:55:27.000 Anyway, we should read some more Super Chats.

01:55:30.000 All right, let's go.

01:55:31.000 Damage in... What does it say?

01:55:34.000 Damage in... Damage Inc?

01:55:37.000 USMC?

01:55:38.000 There you go.

01:55:38.000 Biden is so good on a bike, let's send him a segue.

01:55:41.000 I mean, I think he'd do better on a segway.

01:55:44.000 Heron Gaming News says, Tim, those aren't flies, it's a CIA drone.

01:55:47.000 Also, if anyone is Gandalf, it's Ian.

01:55:49.000 He'd be a divination wizard, and Tim is an eloquence bard in D&D. 1.00

01:55:53.000 That's hardcore.

01:55:56.000 I don't know if I'd be an eloquence bard in D&D, perhaps for this show, that might be the case.

01:56:01.000 You're like a rogue with bard, you're probably a bard rogue. 1.00

01:56:05.000 That's what I was telling, um, it was funny when Matt Walsh was here, did you see that one?

01:56:09.000 No.

01:56:09.000 I called him a paladin, and he was like, paladin, what?

01:56:12.000 And I was like, like a holy knight, like a knight of retribution, he goes, Well, I think that's a compliment.

01:56:17.000 And I was like, well, it is, right.

01:56:19.000 My point is, you're like a paladin of holy retribution.

01:56:22.000 You do not tolerate these people and these things.

01:56:24.000 You demand they stop.

01:56:25.000 And we were talking about abortion and sterilization.

01:56:27.000 I was like, I'm a rogue.

01:56:28.000 I'm kind of like sitting back and back, whatever gets the job done.

01:56:31.000 I'm a bard.

01:56:32.000 I've thought a lot about it recently.

01:56:33.000 A bard? 1.00

01:56:33.000 That's my highest level skill. 1.00

01:56:34.000 I'm also a wizard, but mostly a bard. 0.96

01:56:36.000 I used to think I'm a sorcerer, but it just turns out I'm a bard. 0.99

01:56:38.000 I use my charisma for- Definitely not a sorcerer.

01:56:40.000 No, it's more bardic spells.

01:56:42.000 Yeah, sorcerers are like naturally talented.

01:56:44.000 I've had to learn, I mean, it's my acting skills and all that crap.

01:56:47.000 But like, Trump would be closer to what, like, I'm not saying he would be,

01:56:52.000 but someone who's just this naturally X-factor person, that's like a sorcerer, you know?

01:56:57.000 Trump's a sorcerer. He might be a wizard.

01:57:00.000 No, no, no, no.

01:57:01.000 Wizards study and they learn how the universe works.

01:57:04.000 Sorcerers have a natural just talent within them that they can just do it.

01:57:09.000 Yeah.

01:57:10.000 Yep.

01:57:11.000 I guess that's partly Trump.

01:57:13.000 Trump's a barbarian.

01:57:15.000 But he's got charisma.

01:57:16.000 He's definitely not a barbarian.

01:57:17.000 He's got intelligence, too, like an intelligent charisma guy.

01:57:19.000 He's definitely a sorcerer.

01:57:21.000 Natural talent, charismatic, all that stuff.

01:57:24.000 Yeah, he just knows how to do it.

01:57:25.000 He knows how to speak, and he can speak and just hypnotize people.

01:57:28.000 Oh, Ivanka was on Lex Friedman's show.

01:57:30.000 I haven't seen the interview yet.

01:57:31.000 It looks cool, though.

01:57:31.000 They were hitting on her.

01:57:32.000 Oh, yeah, so that was her first, like, real public speaking in quite some time, yeah.

01:57:38.000 His kids are so smart.

01:57:39.000 I gotta say, that's a really intelligent family.

01:57:41.000 I'm glad I got to know them.

01:57:43.000 All right, we'll grab a couple more here. 0.62

01:57:46.000 What's-Her-Name says, more Daniel shows, please.

01:57:48.000 He's always a great guest.

01:57:49.000 Also, Ian is looking so good.

01:57:51.000 Keep up what you're doing and you'll have a wife in no time. 0.96

01:57:53.000 Thank you.

01:57:54.000 I like you.

01:57:56.000 Very kind.

01:57:57.000 And a sheet for that person.

01:57:59.000 Brittany Teal says, Tim, you need an assault gun. 0.97

01:58:01.000 A SALT gun for your flight situation.

01:58:04.000 Works great and is a little blast of salt.

01:58:06.000 Just saying, I do have it, but we cannot spray the studio with salt.

01:58:09.000 It just lets out such a little amount.

01:58:11.000 It adds up.

01:58:13.000 When the cicadas were here a couple years ago, we were always running around and now it's bang!

01:58:20.000 Because we were feeding them to the chickens.

01:58:21.000 So we'd knock them out of the sky, they'd fall.

01:58:23.000 We'd walk up to the trees with gloves on and just shovel them into a jar and we'd have like 60, 70 of them, and we just chuck them into the chickens and they just annihilate them.

01:58:33.000 The funny thing is, the original chickens of Chicken City are like, they're sitting there telling all the young ones, like, you would not believe what it was like when we were young.

01:58:42.000 Giant bugs as big as your head, and they're like, sure, Dad.

01:58:45.000 Yeah, I've heard this story.

01:58:46.000 Yeah, you're right, Dad.

01:58:47.000 Not true.

01:58:48.000 Actually, an embarrassing assault gun from literally about six hours ago as my better half and I played How Close Can We Be?

01:58:56.000 To each other, shooting the assault gun before it starts to hurt.

01:59:00.000 Like where it's six, and finally it was like, ow!

01:59:03.000 That's too close, that's too close.

01:59:04.000 How close is too close?

01:59:06.000 This was about as close.

01:59:07.000 Eight feet?

01:59:07.000 Seven feet?

01:59:09.000 Yeah.

01:59:10.000 Jeeber says, Mars has an atmosphere, Tim.

01:59:12.000 Helicopters and parachutes work there.

01:59:14.000 Right, right, right.

01:59:15.000 The issue, what I'm told, is that gravity is too weak to maintain a dense enough atmosphere with oxygen to maintain human life.

01:59:23.000 And so it's got a very weak atmosphere.

01:59:24.000 I don't know how you rectify that.

01:59:27.000 Mars is too small.

01:59:28.000 We could.

01:59:29.000 One theory is to build cloud cities on Venus.

01:59:32.000 That'd be cool as hell.

01:59:32.000 Because the gases are so dense, it wouldn't be super hard to create something that would float.

01:59:37.000 Ooh, so we're talking about those floating cities.

01:59:38.000 Try them on Venus first.

01:59:40.000 Yep.

01:59:40.000 And then you could walk off the edge of your city into like a sulfuric gas that just vaporizes and you die and you get banished.

01:59:46.000 Like 300.

01:59:46.000 Some people have been saying that the Earth's core is actually plasma at the center of the iron, the liquid iron.

01:59:51.000 So maybe there's a plasmatic core at the center of Mars and we could jolt it back to active.

01:59:55.000 Maybe.

01:59:56.000 The high frequency or something.

01:59:58.000 Mars.

01:59:59.000 Well, I don't know for sure, my friends, but what I do know is that you should all smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the show with all of your friends.

02:00:25.000 The Boonies HQ mini ramp is about a couple more days.

02:00:29.000 We're waiting to put in some more concrete supports because we want to make sure it's shored up.

02:00:34.000 And then we've got this massive mini ramp.

02:00:36.000 That is 50 feet long, four foot, three foot, two foot.

02:00:39.000 Two foot's a kind of a joke ramp, but it's our curb for, you know, you want to try and do like a 360-foot blunt, but we got a lot of really cool stuff in the works.

02:00:45.000 We are off tomorrow for MAGA Day, Independence Day on MAGA Month, and we hope you guys all have a very, very good time and celebrate, and then we'll be back Monday.

02:00:53.000 Daniel, do you want to shout anything out?

02:00:55.000 Yes, and I do want to say I was dead serious when I said how it's great to be with you because you all do things, and you create things, and you build things, and you can see that optimism being with you.

02:01:58.000 I like early 90s grunge rock.

02:02:00.000 I really like In Bloom by Nirvana.

02:02:03.000 Apparently it's one of the only pop songs that hits every note, all 12 chromatic tones.

02:02:08.000 Really?

02:02:08.000 According to Rick Beato.

02:02:09.000 If you're not following Rick... In Bloom?

02:02:10.000 Yeah, in bloom.

02:02:11.000 And Kurt, whether or not he knew he was doing that, who knows?

02:02:14.000 He just writes what sounds good.

02:02:15.000 God, what a great song.

02:02:16.000 I've always loved that song.

02:02:17.000 There's this dude, Rick Beato, who does music video.
