Rioting has broken out at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and the situation is only getting worse as the night wears on. On today's show, Mark talks about the latest on the situation and gives us the inside scoop on what exactly is going on.
00:01:06.000Kamala Harris is accused of being a drunk and videos are surfacing showing her slurring her words and many people are saying that she's got a drinking problem and that others have attested to this, although others are saying she may be taking some kind of drug to assist her with public speaking.
00:01:31.000There is a bus from Planned Parenthood offering vasectomies and abortions to the attendees at the DNC and Wiener Circle, a famous Chicago hot dog shop, is offering free hot dogs for everyone who gets an abortion or a vasectomy.

00:05:04.000Here we go from the Postmillennial, breaking!
00:05:06.000Far-left agitators breach DNC perimeter in Chicago, clash with riot police.
00:05:12.000The agitators with some wearing keffiyehs and holding anti-Israel signs and flags broke open the fencing surrounding Chicago's United Center.
00:05:19.000I would just like to pause and offer up this proposal to our friends over at the Postmillennial.
00:05:26.000I would change the headline to, breaking!
00:05:28.000Democrats breach DNC perimeter in Chicago clash with riot police because the DNC is courting these individuals actively.
00:05:37.000It's why they didn't choose Josh Shapiro.
00:05:39.000So the people who are outside screaming and protesting Probably many of them will be voting for Kamala Harris.
00:05:45.000Now, to be fair, not all of them will.
00:05:47.000Many of them probably absolutely despise who they call her Killer Kamala and Genocide Joe, so I'll give them that much.
00:05:56.000Here's one of the videos from Savannah Hernandez.
00:05:58.000Yelling and the occupation now they're they're tearing down the barricades.
00:06:07.000And the funny thing is, when we were talking about the RNC and the DNC before the RNC happened, I pointed out that since 2012, I'd been to all of them except for the COVID.
00:06:38.000The barricades were higher, and there were thousands of activists, and they were jumping over the barricades and tearing them down and trying to breach the perimeter of the DNC because of Bernie Sanders getting screwed over.
00:06:49.000So when this one came around I was like, there's not going to be anything at the RNC, the DNC is going to be nuts, there's going to be rioters, they're going to be attacking the DNC, and this is what we're seeing?
00:06:58.000It's their own voter base, you know, so I don't know, whatever.
00:07:03.000They think if they get the violence and be destructive that they have a say in what the Democrats are going to do, and they don't have a chance with what the Republicans are going to say.
00:07:10.000They don't care, the Republicans can do all they want.
00:07:51.000I was saying the same thing this morning, like, you know, the intention of perhaps ordering an air conditioner is so that I can put it in my window and make my room cool.
00:07:59.000You see how one action leads to an outcome?
00:08:02.000I ask this of these protesters, for what action do you take to expect which outcome?
00:08:59.000They're kowtowing them, yet they're not getting anything accomplished except making people really hate their cause, to the point where the Democrats literally had Look, Shapiro's a better candidate.
00:10:31.000And the thing is, we—it's funny, you know, because we'll get into it in a little bit, this Planned Parenthood free vasectomy abortion thing, but it's like, you know, we're all sitting here.
00:10:41.000begging them to stop harming themselves.
00:10:43.000We're like, please don't abort your own children.
00:10:54.000Yeah, and I think to your point, the Democrats, and whether that's Democrats in these institutions like universities or Democrats at political gatherings like this, they do give in on certain levels.
00:11:05.000Like, when we had all of these, like, encampments, which hypothetically they're asking their schools to, like, divest from Israel or whatever.
00:11:14.000You might get some who kick students out.
00:11:17.000I think it's one of the UC schools in California.
00:11:20.000They had a bunch of students who were involved with one of these encampments and they all weren't given their diplomas.
00:11:25.000And months later, you know, basically before the start of new school year, they have actually all received their diplomas and there's nothing.
00:11:31.000The disciplinary committee said, oh, you guys didn't do anything wrong.
00:11:34.000I mean, they just sort of made martyrs out of their causes.
00:11:37.000I know with Columbia, there was an alternative graduation, right, where they said, we're not going to go to the main schools graduation because they're wrong and bad and evil.
00:11:45.000And so it has this effect of, to your point, Moderate students on campus are going to remember this as like extremely inconvenient or at times threatening to their safety.
00:11:55.000Think of how many students that were like locked down in dorms during these things.
00:11:58.000But for other students who are like drawn to progressive ideology anyways, it's going to make them double down and want to take bolder actions, which the universities are not prepared to handle.
00:12:07.000But how many students are actually at these protests?
00:12:10.000Like, they found that most of these people don't even go to the schools.
00:12:48.000So when you've got individuals who are trying to run a business and they're being told there's going to be price controls and things like this, you're like, this is impossible for me to run my business.
00:12:57.000For an unemployed 20-something running around smashing windows, that policy doesn't matter at all.
00:13:02.000Then they go, yeah, yeah, corporations are bad.
00:13:05.000I mean, you had a woman at the DNC only like a half an hour ago saying that they were gonna take on Big Pharma, and then five minutes later they were cheering for the big pharmaceutical companies during the COVID lockdowns, being like, Kamala got the vaccines to everybody.
00:13:18.000And it's like, I think the issue is, When these big protests are happening, and you wonder why it is that these people aren't engaging in an action that will result in a positive reaction, it's because they are not smart.
00:13:32.000They do not have the capability to understand what they are doing.
00:13:36.000They attract other people who are like that.
00:13:51.000In school nowadays, they're teaching their young kids on how to be activists, how to get out there, how to take school trips to protest.
00:13:59.000And they've been living that way for the last 15 years for them.
00:14:04.000That's a good point, too, because I've often talked about how Like, I think that the college crisis that we see right now is because you have this chain of events starting with the greatest generation.
00:14:17.000And this is just my personal perspective from my personal family history, not from any research or anything.
00:14:22.000But, you know, you hear all the time that coming back from World War II, these men were able to take care of a family of five on a high school education.
00:14:32.000And so these kids, the boomers, grow up in a society where you don't need to go to college.
00:14:37.000No one's telling you to go to college.
00:14:38.000They're saying, nah, you can graduate high school, get a job and feed a family of five, own a house, buy a car, have 2.5 kids, all that good stuff.
00:15:21.000It was their passion that led them to college in the first place.
00:15:24.000So now we have a society that says college is the answer, thank you and have a nice day, and we're wondering why it is all these people are going to college racking massive amounts of debt and then going nowhere with it.
00:15:33.000It's because low information individuals who lack the ability to understand complex systems believe the answer is college and not that college was down the line from the passion that led someone to wealth.
00:15:45.000To go back to what Raymond said, you have people who grew up watching the civil rights movement and seeing the protests, and they're going, wow, protests are good.
00:16:16.000How prevalent and where is this being taught?
00:16:18.000Those ones are like board books, but I remember working at a private all-girls boarding school and they specifically had donors invest in their like, I forget what they called it, like basically their social justice center.
00:16:31.000And that was like, again, they rewarded, you know, in a lot of cases, very smart, precocious teens who are like, I want to seem impressive.
00:16:38.000Maybe they have passions about certain issues.
00:16:40.000I really don't think so for a lot of them.
00:16:43.000And told them like championing these values, staging the like, Anti-gun walkouts at your school.
00:16:50.000These things are good and ultimately will look good when you apply for college.
00:16:54.000It's sort of false activism, but I think you see this on the collegiate level like the one of the main leaders at the Columbia encampment.
00:17:00.000I remember finding his college and missing essay where he talks about, you know, the buzzwords systemic racism how that was bad for him and like.
00:17:08.000It's just another sort of trend for students right now.
00:17:12.000Some of them may feel really passionate about, you know, especially with Palestine, certain students may feel genuinely passionate about.
00:17:17.000But I think for a lot of them, they think this is like the current social norm and a way to kind of climb socially.
00:17:22.000But I think that depends on the degree, because I don't think business or marketing students are really caring about that.
00:17:32.000It's those kind of degrees that are having the problems, I think.
00:17:35.000Because I would think that if someone's going to a business school, they just want to shut the hell up, go to school for four years and get their job.
00:17:40.000A lot of engineers are taking part in it.
00:18:09.000They got a lot of tagalongs, but the people are actually starting it.
00:18:13.000The actual people are lighting the flame.
00:18:15.000the kindling to the fire that is being set forth by bust in people like for example you look at 2020 the summer of love i went to nashville the day after that thing went down talk some cops he's like none of these guys are from here we saw them unloading buses well so so most of them are not bust in they show up to loot yes it's it's like okay uh where can oh there's a riot happening let's let's go find it good stuff the the far left Actually yell when they go through residential areas, come outside and join us.
00:19:11.000If they get access to a member of Congress, they don't need to turn on them, they will target them, period.
00:19:16.000The protests were planned before Kamala Harris was appointed.
00:19:19.000According to AXIOS, House Democrats attending the DNC next week are being advised by congressional security officials not to book hotel rooms under their own names or engage with protesters if confronted.
00:19:40.000They didn't have this problem because the Democrats are the party of violence.
00:19:43.000It's been shown time and time again, yet they psy-op us by saying that, what is it, right-wing white conservative men are the biggest threat to... Militias.
00:21:23.000So cringe, and also they're just trying to market them as like Obama and Biden 2.0, like a very weird buddy cop show, but it involves him just prostrating himself as this caricature of a like dumb white man.
00:25:32.000She was the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota.
00:25:36.000With the funny glasses going sideways.
00:25:38.000So, uh, so it was the twenty-six, I think it was the twenty-sixteen, uh, conventions.
00:25:44.000It was, uh, Laci Green, actually, if you guys remember Laci Green, I don't know if she's still on YouTube these days, but she was talking about how at the RNC, everybody's attractive at the DNC.
00:25:55.000And apparently, this wasn't super offensive to the left at the time, but if you bring this point up now, the left, they get really offended.
00:26:02.000And then what they do is, there was this one segment I did a few years ago where I was talking about how Republicans are more attractive than liberals, scientifically, statistically, and all of these leftists, like the Young Turks and Majority Report, they were just like, oh yeah, well, Tim Poole's ugly!
00:26:22.000And I was like, why are you insulting me for me bringing up a study that the Washington Post reported on?
00:26:27.000This is true, and this is the problem with the left.
00:26:31.000I'll tell you exactly what makes it easy for me to not want to be involved with these people, is that they argue against their own arguments.
00:26:39.000So I'm literally making a segment where I'm like, if you go to the DNC, you see a bunch of short men, Effeminate men and fat women.
00:26:49.000And if you go to the RNC, you see slim, busty women, and you see tall, chiseled men with, you know, like, they look like the Chad meme, right?
00:26:59.000There are fat, you know, ugly people at the RNC, and there's attractive people at the DNC too, but it's a tendency.
00:27:04.000And the reason why has to do with individualism versus collectivism.
00:27:08.000If you are more attractive, Either through working out and exercising, meaning you're into meritocracy, you've earned your appearance, or maybe you're just like naturally a good-looking man or woman.
00:27:20.000If you're better looking, you will go through life, it'll be a lot easier.
00:27:23.000People are going to want to be nicer to you, people are going to want to be around you, and this is going to afford you certain opportunities that you would not get if you were ugly.
00:27:30.000Thus, you'll say, if I can do it on my own, why can't anybody else?
00:27:34.000If you are a short effeminate man and you're having a hard time getting through life because women don't want to talk to you and you're getting angry, you will fall into collectivist ideas like, we can't do it on our own.
00:27:49.000This is actually what the research shows, why you see this split between the Democratic Party for collectivism and the right for individualism and meritocracy.
00:27:56.000And they get really offended that you bring up, quite literally, the leftists' argument on privilege.
00:28:01.000I'm like, the left has been arguing about attraction and thin privilege for a decade.
00:28:06.000The moment you bring it up, they call you ugly.
00:29:13.000If you look at the number one correlation, it's obesity.
00:29:17.000So if you're someone who works out, you're going to naturally have lower body fat.
00:29:21.000Lower body fat, body fat is extremely estrogenic.
00:29:25.000You're going to have higher testosterone.
00:29:27.000So that will tend to influence your voting patterns because you're going to start thinking like a man.
00:29:32.000So whereas Democrat men tend to vote like women, conservative men tend to vote like men.
00:29:38.000I'd hate to say it, but if you look at the maps, Democrat, like women voters, Democrat voters and men, then you look at, okay, here's what happened for men vote.
00:29:46.000Like if you look at those conservative men, like they're going to have specific voting patterns.
00:29:51.000And I think you can boil it down to hormones.
00:29:54.000And a lot of it has to do with exercise, different sports they choose.
00:29:57.000Cernovich was talking the other day, like you go to a runner's club and they're all liberal.
00:30:14.000I do think that, I mean, obviously science backs this up, but men and women's brains function differently.
00:30:19.000So the balance of hormones is really important.
00:30:21.000And I think, you know, whether it's you start as conservative and therefore you have higher testosterone as a bat or you change your lifestyle and it, you know, balances your hormone in a more positive way.
00:30:32.000It is interesting how much health correlates with a change in lifestyle and often a change in voting pattern.
00:30:40.000Well, look, if you are one of these unemployed far leftists, angry, in the streets, and the Democrats say, we're going to make your food cheaper by force, and these people have never run a business, have no idea how economics works, they're gonna be like, awesome, my bread will be cheaper.
00:30:59.000Then imagine you run a business, you hear that, you're like, that won't work, that's insane.
00:31:03.000The individual of merit who's established a business which benefits all of mankind, I mean, if it's a small shop it's a local thing, but still benefiting mankind, they are going to be negatively impacted by Democrat policies.
00:31:14.000Because Democrats are pandering to people who are not On average, well I shouldn't say on average, but they're pandering to many people who are not functioning members of society.
00:31:24.000If the argument from Republicans is the more aggressive, I would say, if this is the Democrat argument, that they don't care for the homeless, they don't care for any of these groups, they're going to cast you out, give their buddies tax cuts, well then you're basically saying that their policies favor those who are running businesses and are going to create systems that lift everybody up.
00:31:47.000They don't understand how hard it is to run a business.
00:31:49.000Businesses are flailing left and right.
00:31:51.000Big Lots is closing down hundreds of locations.
00:32:40.000If you get them in like the little variety packs, they're always the ones that are left over.
00:32:45.000I think the thing about Trump is, like, he doesn't have to stage this, like, I'm tossing you some Doritos because we're actually friends, like, stage moment because he does things naturally and also doesn't hide the fact that, like, yes, he is extremely wealthy, you know?
00:32:58.000Like, he eats – he posts this photo of his, like, taco salad online, gets dragged for it.
00:33:04.000He defends Diet Coke while also criticizing it.
00:33:06.000Like, there's a lot of stuff that Trump does just Authentically that I think resonates with people.
00:33:11.000As opposed to these moments where you're trying to say like, we're of the working class, see we eat Doritos and this guy doesn't know what seasoning is.
00:33:19.000It's a different campaign and I think people can tell the difference.
00:33:23.000Just the same way that like people can tell instinctively when Kamala was like, I'm gonna tax or like end tax on tips.
00:33:30.000They were like, you're just playing catch up now.
00:33:37.000It's the moment you've been waiting for, my friends.
00:33:39.000From the New York Post, Planned Parenthood offers free vasectomies abortions in truck outside of DNC.
00:33:45.000I just want to say, Democrats, it's absolutely fantastic.
00:33:50.000I'm so excited to see that you're offering this.
00:33:53.000If there's any way I can help fund this for more democratic events, or if we can put on more events, maybe the Krasensteins and Harry Sisson and others would be interested in coming and enjoying these fine services.
00:34:06.000It's completely aligned with their politics.
00:34:08.000I completely support it, and I encourage more.
00:34:59.000My attitude is, it's actually quite simple.
00:35:02.000Conservatives are not of the mind to engage in violent disruptions.
00:35:06.000Conservatives won't go out and flip over the Planned Parenthood truck.
00:35:10.000They're not going to go to Planned Parenthoods and, like, protest and link arms and shut it down.
00:35:14.000They're going to complain on the internet, they're going to complain at church, they're going to complain to their politician, and they're going to say, do something about this.
00:35:24.000And then you have a lot of conservatives who are like, well, we'll keep it to the states.
00:35:49.000They are not reproducing replacement levels.
00:35:52.000And over a long enough period of time, there's not going to be very many people adopting the liberal ideology.
00:35:58.000Whatever it is that is within these people to hold these views, whatever it may be, be it small, large, or otherwise, will not be carried in the gene pool.
00:36:07.000And conservatives will have more and more kids.
00:36:10.000And the ideas of conservatives will be more successful in the long run.
00:36:14.000It only takes a generation or two To see a large enough swing in voting patterns, you only need 1%, you don't even need, you need 0.1%.
00:36:24.0000.1% and it goes 50 point, you know, 0.1 to 49.9 and that's it.
00:36:32.000So for each state, California, of course, being like two to one Democrat Republican.
00:36:37.000Many people are saying this is why they have illegal immigration.
00:36:41.000People coming from Honduras, there's no guarantee they want abortions either.
00:36:44.000So it's ultimately not going to work out for Democrats.
00:36:47.000It may work out for illegal immigrants and migrants in general, but the real winner here is going to be conservative Christians and Muslims.
00:36:55.000I think the vasectomy thing is, like, weird and sort of like, okay, you guys want to round up a bunch of men at your convention who then are going to, like, walk around with stickers, I guess, being like, I got an abortion.
00:37:12.000For me, the abortion one is just kind of creepy.
00:37:16.000It gives me human sacrifice at large rally events.
00:37:20.000And I know not everyone feels that way, but it's just this weird optic where with Democrats, I feel like you have made the abortion into, again, a caricature of an issue.
00:37:31.000I think it's weird that you would make this a public spectacle.
00:37:35.000What I find absolutely fascinating about this is that it's at the DNC, and that means these are the highest levels of Democrat party members and activists.
00:37:44.000We're not talking about regular poor people.
00:37:47.000We're not talking about some dude named Jim walking down the street getting a vasectomy.
00:37:51.000We're talking about Leaders of Democrat youth organizations showing up to the DNC with badges.
00:37:58.000We're talking about young women who are part of the party and are working for a member of Congress or some staffer, and they're being offered to never have children or to eliminate the life of the child right now.
00:38:09.000And so I just, I want to stress, the Democratic Party and Planned Parenthood are offering up to literally give vasectomies to their political organizers and staff.
00:38:23.000Like, it's, it's, it's, the optics are so strange to me, but again, they're like, it's so liberating and we should do this and a hundred, like, whatever the reasons are, it's, it's like such a, uh, we have drunk the Kool-Aid kind of, uh, activity.
00:39:49.000Democrats who argue that masculinity is bad, toxic masculinity, etc., love to attack and insult people for not being masculine enough, which says to me one very obvious thing.
00:40:00.000And actually, I should pull up a tweet from Carl Benjamin.
00:40:05.000So these are people who feel like they're outcasts, so they attack masculinity because they themselves are not masculine, and then they attack you for not being masculine because they wish they were, and they know it's a point of attack.
00:40:21.000They're basically saying, I'm going to insult your masculinity because I feel pain over mine, right?
00:40:31.000Look, there's a lot of people, most people, think everyone's brain works the same way as theirs, and everyone sees the same thing they see.
00:41:37.000Carl Benjamin tweeted, remember that everything they do is about, always about revenge on normal society because they feel like outcasts.
00:41:44.000And it's a tweet from someone named Aurora saying, it brings me so much joy to know that you feel like all your favorite hobbies are being stripped away from you.
00:41:52.000You will never get what you think you had back and that is hilarious.
00:42:44.000That's in their hearts, that they feel bad, they want to take away stuff, they want to destroy everything that they can have, that they don't like.
00:42:53.000The thing too is, but it's in their own mind.
00:45:35.000Like if you're doing some, if you're, even if you're doing anything hard, if you're moving furniture and you're lifting, you're like, just trying to move that couch.
00:46:55.000To all of those listening, when you're sitting down with mom and dad, or your aunt and your uncle, and they're liberal or whatever, and they're like, well, the statistics show that the economy's actually better under Biden than it was under Trump, say, then why does everyone think it's bad?
00:47:09.000Who do you believe more, a government statistician or literally a run-of-the-mill carpenter guy who's like, I can't afford to make ends meet?
00:47:17.000Why is it that the independent voters Two to one, and Republican voters are all saying the economy is not doing well, but Democrats think it is.
00:47:26.000Don Lemon going to a guy who quite literally is saying, I'm not making as much money as I used to, and he goes, you're actually wrong.
00:47:34.000It's like, my guy, I'm not making money.
00:47:36.000Why are you telling me some statistic?
00:47:38.000It's the most insane talking point from liberals right now, when they're like, actually, according to the government, inflation is down, unemployment is down, and things are better than ever.
00:47:47.000And there's like some lady and she's like, 110 pounds gaunt being like, I can't feed my kids.
00:48:14.000When you walk up to a regular person and go, the data suggests the economy is good, and 53% say it's getting worse...
00:48:22.00027% say getting better and 18% saying the same.
00:48:25.00053% of the majority of people are saying the economy is getting worse and then Don Lemon walks up and goes, you're wrong actually.
00:48:30.000The things you're experiencing with being unable to afford gas, rent, groceries or otherwise are all just you because you're a failure and everyone else is doing well.
00:48:47.000Because people just can't afford to buy that much, so they'll just save up, wait for the paycheck to come in.
00:48:52.000They'd rather buy every one week to two weeks and budget then, than buy a month in advance because people just don't have the expendable income.
00:48:58.000I know this from a micro standpoint running multiple businesses that sell finished goods.
00:49:02.000At the end of the day, the average household does not have as much expendable income.
00:49:07.000And that's from my direct in the economy.
00:49:09.000And that's the problem with the government right now.
00:49:11.000That's why I need to run for office sooner or later.
00:49:13.000Is that none of these people have ever run a business.
00:49:15.000They've ever balanced a balance sheet.
00:49:59.000And I think that's why you hear so many voters – I mean, you'll see men on street interviews where voters will be like, well, he's a businessman so he knows what he's doing.
00:50:06.000That idea that he is not just like a politician who's been hanging out in Washington passing bills that seem to never actually get anything done.
00:50:13.000In fact, he has built something and he can point to his – and I think this is very like Americana, being able to like point to your skyscrapers in New York City or your hotels or something like that.
00:50:23.000There is concrete proof of his success in a way that you just kind of have to trust that Biden and Harris have done something with their lives.
00:50:30.000To be a politician, to be in any form of office, you should have had to run a business.
00:50:35.000Because the entire purpose of this is to keep this thing running.
00:50:48.000Because it's at the point now where the real business owners need to sacrifice.
00:50:52.000And look, if I get, let's say Trump had a million dollars, I think, from his dad, something like that.
00:50:56.000If I, when I die, my kids are going to get money.
00:50:58.000If my daughter, let's say, takes a million dollars, and then there's low-blinder buildings in friggin London, I'm going to be like, whoa, she crushed it.
00:52:02.000So each of them is going to average between, like, what?
00:52:06.000$60,000 to $70,000 per year, which is... Mechanics, $45,000 to $60,000.
00:52:09.000Okay, so you're looking at a couple million dollars right there per year.
00:52:13.000And so then you've got the cost for the land, you've got taxes, you've got your inventory, you've got fixing up all the vehicles, all of those costs, how much money is coming in.
00:52:21.000And so I went to a local dealership And, uh, this is like a year ago, and they said, we generate about a million dollars a month, and I was like, and that covers your costs?
00:53:32.000Now with profit margins being down, with all the operating costs, It's gonna cost me hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, which we don't have just sitting around.
00:57:44.000And what's their monthly operating cost?
00:57:45.000Let's say their monthly operating cost is three to five hundred million dollars, and that's what they spend outright every month to maintain the entire infrastructure.
00:57:55.000They can't have zero in their bank and live paycheck to paycheck.
00:58:01.000They say, we're going to keep $3 billion in the bank as cash on hand so that if we get a downturn one month and our revenue dips below our fixed operating costs, we don't go out of business.
00:58:10.000Then you get these Democrats being like, they made $5 billion in profit.
00:58:33.000If you have an S Corp, they tax you on inventory.
00:58:37.000So if I have, if I pay myself, and this might be a real thing that happened, if I had a decent year where I'm able to scale, grow, and launch new products next year, let's say I bring, I pay myself $50,000.
00:59:10.000Because they want Amazon and Walmart to succeed.
00:59:14.000Actually, I think Milo was talking about this in the Culture War, basically saying that entrenched bureaucracy makes it impossible for small businesses and the individual to navigate the legal system.
00:59:24.000Walmart likes it when new regulations get in, Facebook likes it when new regulation gets in, because they have the billions they can spend on legal to navigate this, and the small guy can't compete, so it basically locks them in and boots everybody else out.
00:59:35.000That's why what we've been saying, it's easy to hear Amazon this and that.
00:59:39.000That's why, you know, I'll unabashedly say on X, I'm like, hey, support tigerfitness.com.
00:59:48.000We're trying our best, but at the end of the day, the system is working against small businesses.
00:59:52.000So if you want to build this parallel economy we're talking about, invest in what you're doing, your coffee shops, your coffee, everything Tim sells.
00:59:59.000Everybody who comes on here who you think is cool, you agree with, support them, buy their books.
01:00:04.000Because at the end of the day, man, By percentages, just by percentages, only 6% of us are going to make it.
01:01:43.000We've had to cut off great, great supply, great vendors because, I'm sorry, great retailers because their demands were too high and we weren't making money.
01:01:50.000We did an analysis of one customer of ours.
01:01:53.000We actually lost hundreds of thousands of dollars selling to them.
01:01:57.000Don't you have to like pay extra to be on Walmart, to get into Walmart, to get the good spots?
01:02:01.000So I'm not going to give away the secrets.
01:02:02.000Walmart's actually... I'm not saying that... Walmart is probably one of the best retailers cut and dry to work with in the country.
01:02:10.000Walmart's actually awesome to work with.
01:02:25.000So if I have seven SKUs, 70,000 out of my profits right there.
01:02:31.000done so it's it's so hard to navigate and it's so hard to because you think you have your margins figured out and then they're like oh well we have this extra cost oh well we have to take this rebate and then you got returns you got damages Where's the money?
01:03:33.000Proof would be Kamala carrying a flask, or like a fifth of jack, walking on stage, stumbling around, swigging it from it, and then being like, I drink way too much.
01:04:10.000It just doesn't look, it doesn't look as if she's still there.
01:04:13.000Now, I have an alternative theory that the stuff they were keeping Biden prepped up on, they have everybody on it because these new nootropics and peptides, they're frigging awesome.
01:04:24.000So I don't know if maybe they just gave her too much.
01:04:26.000They're trying to dial in the dose, which we've seen them do that with Biden, where it's like, dude, they got this dose right this time.
01:04:32.000Yeah, it seems like it's not always consistent in how he's prepared for, you know, going out in public.
01:04:36.000I think with Harris, some of it, like, to me, the most simple explanation, if it's not a substance, would just be exhaustion, right?
01:04:44.000She's been nonstop campaigning for three weeks, and maybe she's just really not able to keep up with it, right?
01:04:50.000Like, it's not that it's easy for anyone, Republican or Democrat, to just be, like, constantly going state to state, plane to plane, you know, delivering speeches all the time.
01:05:07.000And he says, James Blair, the political director for Trump, a lot of rumors out there about Kamala having a serious drinking problem apparently coming into focus as the campaign heats up.
01:06:27.000Like the mannerisms of being like, dude.
01:06:31.000Or she's from California, you know, it's illegal there and certain things for smoking and you get off on topic and you start thinking about this and that.
01:09:28.000Like I feel like she is just someone who has gotten by and people are like, yeah, she's she's a lady boss and we'll just keep promoting her.
01:09:35.000I mean, none of these I don't know what this last video is, but it's also in the collection.
01:10:48.000There's not even an excuse for how she's drinking.
01:10:50.000I would rather send her to, like, the Ford Clinic and get her cleaned up, ready to be a president.
01:10:55.000I was saying this morning, like, I would feel really bad if it turned out she was diabetic, and she's just having, like, insulin shock, and so she's sounding drunk, but she's actually having a medical emergency.
01:11:06.000I think they would come out with, she's diabetic, you can't make fun of her, and also she relates to the insulin crisis.
01:11:14.000No, because I heard this story, there's like this famous story about a guy who's in his car and it's like he's swerving and driving real slow and the cops try to pull him over but he won't stop.
01:11:23.000They finally get him to stop because he like drives into a ditch and then when they try to pull him out he's slurring like, and he won't get out of the car so they tase him and it turns out he was in a diabetic coma.
01:11:33.000They couldn't pull him out, they had to tase him.
01:15:44.000Like, we need to extend that thing out.
01:15:46.000I feel like that's Russia saying, like, you come here, and if we decide we like you, maybe we'll extend your view.
01:15:52.000But if you're importing your terrible values with you, we don't want it.
01:15:55.000We should do that in Tennessee, for the Californians.
01:15:58.000The policy reported by the Russian state media agency TASS offers temporary asylum and residence to those who align with traditional values as defined by the Russian government.
01:16:07.000Putin's decree allows foreign nationals who wish to escape neoliberal ideals to apply for residence in Russia.
01:16:13.000The policy is framed as providing humanitarian support for individuals fleeing cultural shifts perceived as negative and attracting those who embrace conservative values.
01:16:23.000Under the new directive, foreign nationals will be eligible to apply for three-month visas outside the quota approved by the Russian government and without the need to provide documentation proving their knowledge of the Russian language, Russian history, or basic laws.
01:16:36.000I'd like to pause, and I wonder how long after you arrive they're going to conscript you and send you to Ukraine?
01:16:44.000I guess I won't be going to Russia after all.
01:16:46.000You don't need to know their basic laws and Russia has now learned that they can, you know, wrongfully detain Americans and that eventually the American government will just come to the table and negotiate on whatever terms they want, at least under Biden.
01:16:59.000You know, I actually think Russia is a really interesting country and I have, you know, I think their culture is interesting and a lot of people would find values that they appreciate about it.
01:17:09.000But it's difficult to, I don't know that I'd encourage anyone to apply until Donald Trump is in office, right?
01:17:16.000Like, the Biden administration cannot negotiate with Russia over anything.
01:17:19.000And the actually true, you know, it's just really bad foreign diplomacy.
01:17:23.000So, you know, when you go abroad, be very careful about who the Biden administration is trying to talk to.
01:17:28.000I just want to say that the reason I'm so bullish about America is because of the Tenth Amendment.
01:17:34.000Because you could live in states like Tennessee, states like West Virginia, and you're pretty good.
01:17:39.000You're shielded from a lot of things that happen in other states.
01:17:42.000So that's why I'm not threatening to move.
01:17:46.000I'm not like, oh, I'm going to Russia.
01:17:49.000Because I'm outspoken about sending money to foreign countries for war, Israel included.
01:17:55.000And by the way, if people don't know, I'm genetically Jewish, right?
01:18:38.000I think it is to remind people in the West that their values are not as foreign as you think they are.
01:18:45.000There are lots of ideologies that are present in Western and European countries right now that I actually think are antithetical to American values.
01:18:52.000I think we have shifted away from the fact that China is actively run by the Communist Party and for some reason Democrats are like, yeah, but we'd rather work with them than Russia.
01:19:02.000Like, you know, interesting that we are like using different sliding scales to measure our world enemies.
01:19:09.000I think Americans are also, we're isolated.
01:19:56.000I have a question about the China-Russia thing going on here.
01:20:01.000Is it because our politicians like China more than they like Russia?
01:20:05.000Is it because they make products for us and we make money from them, whereas Russia we don't?
01:20:09.000Yes, China does have an economic stranglehold on America right now, and I think all of our politicians are aware of that.
01:20:15.000Well, they're getting rid of a lot of it, and with the petrodollar deal ending with Saudi Arabia, who knows where this ends up.
01:20:21.000Yeah, it could just be the end of the American empire.
01:20:24.000Everybody is gonna be in for a rude awakening when the dollar value completely implodes, and they're wondering why an Apple MacBook costs $15,000.
01:21:18.000The number assigned to the labor that you're involved in is relative to the labor around you.
01:21:28.000If everyone was getting paid 30 bucks an hour, Then you'd have to increase the cost of the cheeseburgers made by the guy who gets paid $30 an hour to make the cheeseburger.
01:21:38.000Then when the construction worker comes in to buy a cheeseburger, he's like, why is the cheeseburger $37?
01:21:43.000It's like, because this guy gets paid $30 an hour to make them.
01:21:47.000In order to cover the cost of his government-mandated wage, the burger has to be sold for this amount of money.
01:21:54.000Now, that being said, if somebody's making cheeseburgers in California and freezing them and their wages are less, you could order it to be delivered for a lot cheaper.
01:22:04.000That's basically how it works here in the United States with China.
01:22:06.000China's wages are dirt, so we get things made for dirt cheap and they sell it here.
01:22:11.000dollars are being extracted and brought to China so that China can then spend whatever they want with them and our dollars are leaving our own country.
01:22:17.000Ultimately, what I'm trying to get at is the benefits we have with the current economic system is that the laptops and our cell phones that are made in Korea and China are extremely cheap relative to what they should be if the U.S.
01:22:30.000economy was normalized off the petrodollar with every other nation.
01:22:35.000It should cost you probably $5,000 for that $1,000 laptop.
01:22:42.000just makes money, they print money, they offer up debt, and with that debt, you know, at the barrel of the gun, we tell everybody, trade in dollars or else, if you want oil.
01:22:54.000With Saudi Arabia getting off that arrangement, now people are going to be like, we don't need U.S.
01:24:43.000But the problem is, You take North American rock maple, harvest it, ship it to China, Chinese laborers make the skateboards, and send them back.
01:24:53.000And that is the stupidest thing in the world, but they're cheaper!
01:24:56.000And so we have to sell $10 more per board.
01:25:00.000I think it's actually $15 more, but we're reducing our profit margin to compensate.
01:25:05.000So when we're looking at the original prices, it's going from like $30 to $50 for a board.
01:25:11.000And so our profit margins are dirt on this.
01:25:13.000And I'm like, that means we have to sell substantially more skateboards to finance the operation in terms of selling skateboards.
01:25:19.000This is why the skate industry is in trouble.
01:25:53.000It's at the point now where... So we do the same thing with Shaker Cups.
01:25:57.000We get them American made, and a lot of times they're given away, but we're giving away a GWP gift with purchase that could be $1.25, and instead it's $4.25.
01:26:08.000And that gift with purchase obviously takes away from our direct margin.
01:26:13.000So to do business as we try to do as much as humanly possible with everything, including ingredients, you're going to have a higher cost.
01:26:20.000So let's say you go on Amazon, you're looking up supplements.
01:27:31.000So when you can support businesses that are American...
01:27:37.000Support businesses that represent your ideals, that will actually reinvest in the economy, in the American economy.
01:27:43.000But so the question then becomes, why do you want to buy American?
01:27:46.000And I can explain it, because the extra money that it costs to make the skateboards in America are us funding what we want more than anything else.
01:27:56.000And so I explain to people like this, The average person, you go to them and say, what would you do if you woke up and you won a million dollars?
01:28:03.000Like, here you go, like Uncle Sam shows up, the government's like, my oh my, a million dollars, clean, tax-free, you win, good sir, what do you buy with it?
01:28:12.000The average person's gonna say, oh, I'd get a new house, I'd buy a new car, oh, I'd get a cyber truck, I'd do this, I'd do that.
01:28:18.000I would buy the American dream for America.
01:28:20.000I would buy a functioning society, I would buy a good policy, good governance, Why am I buying boards from China?
01:28:30.000The skateboard isn't really what matters.
01:28:31.000I can skateboard on a board for 30 or 50 bucks.
01:28:33.000Now, obviously I want to make the business operate, and there is a challenge when you're competing with Chinese cheaper cost goods, and sometimes they're better quality.
01:28:44.000For every skateboard we order from an American-made company, it's not about getting a skateboard, selling it for $50 and putting $20 in our pocket.
01:28:53.000It's about getting a skateboard, selling it for $50, putting $5 in the company for investment and expansion, and $15 of that board is invested into American workers and American jobs.
01:29:03.000When American jobs start expanding, And American industry gets better, our city streets get cleaner, the buildings around us don't have broken windows, and I can go to Main Street and I can see a skate shop that's making it because I'm buying boards from them and it's paying for these things.
01:29:18.000So, people need to understand that when you buy Chinese-made products, Chinese Main Street is getting better.
01:29:25.000And your main street is collapsing, and the windows are falling out, and there's homeless, and there's junkies, and you're like, how could this be happening?
01:29:30.000Because all of your labor is being sent overseas, and all the revenue from it, so that American companies can get a cheaper product and make a better profit margin, so they can buy an infinity pool, I guess?
01:30:27.000Do you think that internet commerce has hurt the brick and mortar business model?
01:30:31.000I hear so many stories of people saying like, I don't want to open a store because that will cut into profits.
01:30:36.000Like if you're trying to start a business right now, it seems like being more direct to customer, not having to pay for the overhead of a store.
01:30:45.000It's kind of mandatory because everyone's margins are so tight right now.
01:31:42.000Problem is, they're not going out and buying stuff as much because they just don't have as much expendable income.
01:31:47.000Yeah, that's what I wanted to do with this anti-Times Square in Martinsburg, but we gotta get people who want to do it, and that's the challenge.
01:31:54.000There's already some really great businesses, they're very base, they're great, and obviously we're putting our shop there, our coffee shop.
01:32:00.000Next door to us we have Mamba Collectibles, which is trading cards, sports cards, and I like to play Magic the Gathering there on Saturdays.
01:32:09.000Do you have room for a supplement shop?
01:32:13.000It's like if you went to, if you looked in Martinsburg and you looked, there's a bunch of places that are open and available for business.
01:32:19.000And so what I was hoping is just by putting it on the ether on this show with the millions of people who listen and said, you know, it'd be really cool.
01:32:27.000A public square store, which is like a Walgreens, which you walk in and all the products are public square companies.
01:32:33.000Cousin T's diner, there's the blue white grill in Martinsburg that shut down out of business for sale right now, 600k.
01:32:41.000Everything ready to go, bang out the door.
01:32:43.000And I'm like, how do we get Terrence to open up his diner right here?
01:32:46.000And then when you have Casper coffee, when you have Cousin T's diner, when you've got Mark's supplement shop, when you've got Luke Rudkowski's weird... No seed oils.
01:32:57.000People are going to want to come there just because it is this place of, it's like, it's like Times Square almost.
01:33:04.000And then the foot traffic will be like a main street of walking around and figuring out which store you want to go to and like, oh, let's go to Mark's.
01:34:23.000Maybe after we get the coffee shop set up, we can... Maybe that'll entice people to come in, maybe?
01:34:27.000Yeah, I was talking to Terrence, and I was like, maybe we gotta do a crowdfunding thing so you can get the initial financing, and then a bank loan to open the diner, and then have Cousin T's diner.
01:34:36.000I mean, this is the thing, this is crazy.
01:34:38.000Blue White Grill, I always saw people in there.
01:34:41.000And there's restaurants that are packed all the time, so I don't understand how a diner would not succeed.
01:35:17.000The red cups, and the salad bar, and the book it, and you bring your family, and you sit down, and it's a family restaurant with pizza, and I don't know if Jack actually wants to do it, but I was like, we gotta pop a Jack's Pizza Shack.
