Transcript

00:00:04.000 The border bill, it's not really a border bill.
00:00:06.000 They're calling it a border security bill, but it is a disaster.
00:00:09.000 It's basically funding for Ukraine to the tune of $60 billion, funding for Israel, and $20 billion for amnesty, I guess?
00:00:18.000 The bill basically just codifies exactly what it is the Biden administration is doing.
00:00:22.000 It creates an easier path for asylum seekers, quote-unquote, to be granted asylum and to be given work permits.
00:00:30.000 This was the play.
00:00:32.000 It was obvious.
00:00:33.000 Joe Biden screws up the border and basically creates a mess.
00:00:36.000 Then, when Republicans start complaining, Joe Biden says, I need, I need a bill.
00:00:42.000 Then when they put together a bill giving Biden everything he wants and destroying the border, they call it a security bill.
00:00:47.000 So when Republicans in the House, not the Senate, oppose it, the media will run rampant screaming, the Republicans are against their own bill.
00:00:56.000 That was the narrative and that's exactly what's happening.
00:00:58.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:00:59.000 Plus we got crazy news.
00:01:01.000 Depending on how you view it.
00:01:03.000 The federal government has sent a memo calling on the Alaskan National Guard to deploy to the southern border, which would include Texas for support for aviation.
00:01:12.000 It's a single grain of sand in the heap of things are kind of heating up.
00:01:16.000 The last time this happened, as many people are claiming, it's routine, this happens all the time.
00:01:19.000 The last time it happened was five years ago under Trump, and it was 10 personnel.
00:01:23.000 We're now seeing 20 personnel.
00:01:24.000 It's either the most tone-deaf thing imaginable, the most tone-deaf thing you can do at a time when the state is in... 14 states basically had a meeting.
00:01:33.000 All their governors came together saying, we will secure the border against the Biden administration.
00:01:38.000 Joe Biden has threatened a deadline against them.
00:01:41.000 And now you've got the Alaska National Guard coming down to work with CBP on the border, and this does include Texas as part of their deployment.
00:01:49.000 Naturally, there are already attempts to claim this is nothing, don't worry about it, but it's a grain of sand.
00:01:54.000 And I think it's probably bad precedent, but we'll talk about that.
00:01:57.000 Plus, Well, I want to talk about this rumor of RFK Jr.
00:02:00.000 running on Libertarian tickets, and maybe, and then I want to talk about Michael Rapoport, leftist comedian, well, liberal comedian, who absolutely, he's not a leftist, he's a liberal, absolutely hates Donald Trump, has now made several videos talking about how he's gonna vote for pig-dick Donald Trump, so we'll talk about him.
00:02:14.000 He's a funny guy, but he's very liberal.
00:02:16.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to caskbrew.com to buy the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.
00:02:20.000 Look, there's Alex Stein right here, screaming because he needs the coffee.
00:02:24.000 We got all the best flavor.
00:02:25.000 Oh man, we're sold out.
00:02:27.000 Here we go, ground coffee.
00:02:27.000 We've got Appalachian Nights.
00:02:29.000 That stuff, Appalachian Nights, is selling so crazy.
00:02:32.000 And Rise of the Birdo Jr., we did not realize how popular and how delicious everyone would find this coffee.
00:02:37.000 I knew it was good, because we all worked together to make it.
00:02:40.000 And now once the people have discovered just how good it is, it is flying off the shelves.
00:02:44.000 So if you want to support the work that we do, we sponsor ourselves.

00:04:12.000 Right on.
00:04:13.000 So this should be interesting.
00:04:13.000 We got Phil hanging out.
00:04:14.000 Hello, everybody.
00:04:15.000 My name is Phil Labonte.
00:04:16.000 I am the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
00:04:19.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
00:04:22.000 And Libby's hanging out.
00:04:23.000 Hey, guys.
00:04:23.000 I'm Libby Emmons.
00:04:24.000 I'm with the Post Millennial.
00:04:24.000 I'm hanging out.
00:04:25.000 Glad to be here.
00:04:26.000 And of course, sir, just pressing all the buttons.
00:04:28.000 Yes, I am back.
00:04:30.000 It's good to be back.
00:04:30.000 I am here.
00:04:32.000 I also see a friend of mine across the table here.
00:04:34.000 What's up?
00:04:35.000 What's up?
00:04:38.000 Yo, I made it back.
00:04:39.000 I'm back from Miami.
00:04:40.000 What's happening, everybody?
00:04:41.000 Welcome back.
00:04:42.000 I feel good, man.
00:04:43.000 I got out of town.
00:04:45.000 I went to Miami and I'm like, yo, you want to talk about a culture war?
00:04:48.000 Being in a place with a bunch of people that you don't necessarily agree with and you're not the one curating who you're going to hang with and hanging with them for a long time anyway.
00:04:56.000 And just being with those people, that's like frontline material.
00:04:59.000 It's really invigorating.
00:05:01.000 I was just in L.A.
00:05:02.000 for a week.
00:05:03.000 And so was Libby.
00:05:04.000 Libby was in California.
00:05:05.000 Yeah, I was in California for a good stretch.
00:05:07.000 I was in L.A.
00:05:08.000 working with Prager on something and then... Did you step in any poop?
00:05:12.000 No, but I did keep saying to my son, hey hon, don't step in the poop, hey watch it, don't step in the poop, that we were in L.A.
00:05:19.000 and San Francisco and we actually had a spectacular time.
00:05:22.000 We were, me and Allison were hanging out at MGM National Harbor all weekend and I had some stories early in the day about this Trump derangement syndrome guy, but there was another guy who was a fairly liberal guy who was like, I don't like Donald Trump, we gotta vote for Biden, blah blah blah, but he was complaining about the poop.
00:05:37.000 He really, he was like, he's like, have you seen they got this map, the social media app where you can see all the poop?
00:05:41.000 And I was like, you get it.
00:05:42.000 Why would you want to vote for these people?
00:05:44.000 Poop and death, it's like two things.
00:05:46.000 In California, the politicians fell upwards.
00:05:48.000 That's what, Gavin Newsom, they wanted to cover the whole state in poop.
00:05:51.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:05:53.000 We'll get, we'll kick it off with this Huffington Post headline.
00:05:57.000 It's a betrayal.
00:05:58.000 Republicans go ballistic over bipartisan border bill they demanded.
00:06:03.000 This is the game.
00:06:04.000 Everybody who knows anything about politics predicted exactly this.
00:06:10.000 Biden comes out and says, I need a new law to secure the border.
00:06:15.000 Republicans and Democrats in the Senate come together and create an amnesty bill which codifies exactly what Biden is already doing.
00:06:23.000 There's no negotiation here.
00:06:24.000 It literally just gives Biden everything locked in, nailed in, bang!
00:06:29.000 And so when House Republicans are like, yo, no!
00:06:33.000 The media, of course, was always going to say the Republicans are lying, obstructing, and this was part of their plan.
00:06:40.000 Donald Trump wants chaos.
00:06:42.000 They're saying that The reason why, in the House, they're calling this bill done on arrival and they won't vote on it is because they're terrified of Donald Trump and Donald Trump wants chaos so he can win the election.
00:06:42.000 This is what they're saying.
00:06:53.000 It is the long con.
00:06:56.000 But here's the reality.
00:06:57.000 We've got this post from Mike Lee, U.S.
00:06:59.000 Senator for Utah, who says, the dirty dozen disasters in the so-called border deal codifies catch-and-release, allows up to 1.8 million illegal aliens to enter before temporary closing off parts of the border, It funds sanctuary cities and NGOs sending illegals around the country.
00:07:17.000 It subsidizes free taxpayer-funded legal counsel to illegal aliens.
00:07:23.000 It expands parole instead of limiting it.
00:07:26.000 It increases green cards by $50,000 per year for five years.
00:07:29.000 Work permit for adult children of H-1B visa holders.
00:07:33.000 Immediate work permits to every illegal released from custody after they pass an initial screening.
00:07:39.000 Nothing to deport illegals.
00:07:41.000 Afghan Adjustment Act creates a pathway decision for over 60,000 poorly vetted Afghans who were brought to the country due to Biden's disastrous withdrawal.
00:07:48.000 Weakens asylum screenings by codifying Biden policy.
00:07:51.000 No immediate funding for the wall.
00:07:53.000 And now, I love how Mike Lee said, this is bad for the border.
00:07:57.000 What it doesn't mention is $60 billion in funding for war in Ukraine.
00:08:02.000 Or I believe it's, what, $14 million for funding for Israel.
00:08:07.000 $74 billion in total between Ukraine and Israel.
00:08:10.000 And the whole bill is only $120 billion.
00:08:13.000 So, I mean, you're talking $20 billion for border.
00:08:16.000 And then it's basically a war powers bill.
00:08:18.000 It's a foreign wars funding act.
00:08:21.000 Zero dollars.
00:08:23.000 Zero laws and zero policy for border security.
00:08:26.000 Well, and the craziest thing, and Libby and I were talking about this before the show started, if you read through the bill, and I don't know why Mike Lee's not bringing this up and other people, but there's a portion of this bill, there's a provision in this bill that gives the right for all of these things to be heard in the D.C.
00:08:41.000 District Court going forward.
00:08:42.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:08:43.000 We found it.
00:08:44.000 Yeah, it's going to give them... It's on there on 150.
00:08:45.000 Yeah, it's going to give them... Where can I put that?
00:08:48.000 Page 150, do a search for judicial review.
00:08:51.000 It's right there at the bottom, page 150.
00:08:53.000 All reviews on these matters will go through the district court in DC, in the District
00:08:57.000 of Columbia. So they will have free reign over all of these issues from now on in DC.
00:09:02.000 The biggest problem with the bill, the existence of the bill, is the Republicans allowing it to
00:09:10.000 be debated is giving credibility to the argument that there is a necessity,
00:09:17.000 is that the bill is necessary in the first place.
00:09:20.000 The federal government has all of the authority that it needs to take care of the border.
00:09:24.000 There does not need to be another bill.
00:09:26.000 There doesn't need to be new authorization from Congress.
00:09:30.000 There does not need to be anything except for the executive to use the powers that he has and to handle the job assigned to him in the Constitution.
00:09:43.000 One of the few things that are specifically said that the president has to take care of.
00:09:48.000 I just want to give a shout out.
00:09:49.000 I asked Libby to tweet out the bill so I could pull up the DC provision.
00:09:53.000 But Libby retweeted Mike Cernovich.
00:09:55.000 He said, if the border bill were truly a compromise, Democrats would support it as a standalone rather than tie it to the $60 billion WTF to money laundering Ukraine.
00:10:04.000 It's all about money laundering.
00:10:06.000 But I just love the WTF.
00:10:08.000 Like $60 billion.
00:10:11.000 It's done.
00:10:11.000 It's over.
00:10:14.000 It's remarkable that anyone in their right mind could try to justify this expense.
00:10:20.000 Meanwhile Ukraine's forcibly enlisting females to fight their war because they're doing so badly.
00:10:28.000 How long have they been doing that?
00:10:30.000 At least a month now.
00:10:31.000 So they're forcibly enlisting women to fight their war.
00:10:35.000 We're in Ukraine?
00:10:36.000 In Ukraine, yeah.
00:10:37.000 Well, women are already fighting in Israel for sure.
00:10:39.000 Oh yeah.
00:10:40.000 That's like part of the deal.
00:10:41.000 But the situation in both Israel and in Ukraine is like these are arguably existential threats, right?
00:10:47.000 So like if the Palestinians had their way, there wouldn't be an Israel.
00:10:50.000 And if Russia has its way, they might take at least half of Ukraine.
00:10:54.000 Oh, I mean, can I point out that when I said $14 billion to Israel, that includes to Palestine as well?
00:11:00.000 Right.
00:11:00.000 Because we're funding both sides of that war.
00:11:02.000 Absolutely.
00:11:03.000 And we have been forever.
00:11:04.000 Like clowns!
00:11:04.000 Like damn fools!
00:11:05.000 We're dummy shit!
00:11:06.000 I mean, anybody who's watched our foreign policy in the Middle East for the last, I don't know, three, four, five decades knows that we always fund both sides of every war.
00:11:15.000 It's so infuriating.
00:11:15.000 Then we never lose!
00:11:17.000 Schumer is saying the children of Gaza will starve.
00:11:22.000 And like, come on, we all know when you send money to these NGOs, it funnels up to Hamas.
00:11:26.000 As soon as these resources go in, Hamas is the governing body, they take it.
00:11:30.000 Why are we playing this game?
00:11:31.000 And I'm not saying like, pick a side.
00:11:34.000 I'm saying neither!
00:11:35.000 Let's come back to America, baby!
00:11:38.000 The fact that we're talking about it is so frustrating because there is absolutely no legitimate reason for Ukraine and Israeli funding to be tied to controlling our own border.
00:11:50.000 It's so goddamn frustrating!
00:11:52.000 It's a lie, right?
00:11:53.000 I mean, it shows the lie so clearly.
00:11:55.000 You don't care about American sovereignty.
00:11:56.000 Not at all!
00:11:57.000 You don't care about American national security.
00:11:59.000 What they really don't care about are Americans.
00:12:01.000 I mean, when I talk to liberals, when I talk to conservatives, everyone's like, yeah, it's a little too much.
00:12:07.000 This whole immigration thing is too much.
00:12:08.000 You have officials in New York saying it's going to destroy New York City, and everyone's like, oh, let's just do that anyway.
00:12:14.000 Let's destroy New York City.
00:12:15.000 Let me read this.
00:12:16.000 This is page 150 of the bill.
00:12:17.000 It says, judicial review.
00:12:19.000 Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, judicial review of any decision or action in this section shall be governed only by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges, whether constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this section or any written policy directive, written policy guideline, procedure, or implementation thereof issued by or under the authority of the Secretary to implement this section.
00:12:46.000 Long story short, do you guys want to know what this bill is?
00:12:49.000 It's trying to corporatize the American government by giving diplomatic control to the Federals.
00:12:53.000 They're trying to make sure that Donald Trump will have no power to do anything about the border if he becomes president.
00:13:00.000 They said constitutional or otherwise, meaning we're going to do it whether it's constitutional or not if we sign this bill.
00:13:06.000 Well, and it's, I mean, listen, I'm not a lawyer.
00:13:09.000 Let's read that again.
00:13:12.000 It literally says, whether constitutional or otherwise.
00:13:18.000 Now I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not super versed in legalese, but I will say that sounds to me like we're giving full reign to DC already has full reign over a lot of stuff.
00:13:33.000 We already know that Biden didn't need a border bill to do anything.
00:13:37.000 He signed all of this open border nonsense into executive orders and various actions within his first couple of days in office.
00:13:46.000 Huge numbers of border measures saying, we're going to increase the number of asylum seekers we're going to let in, we're going to Give everybody a court date.
00:13:55.000 We're going to, instead of remain in Mexico, we have remain in the U.S.
00:13:59.000 for as long as it takes.
00:14:00.000 And now this border bill, what it really does is it says we're going to get more border agents to process more people faster.
00:14:07.000 We're going to get more immigration judges to give more people asylum faster.
00:14:11.000 There's nothing good in there.
00:14:12.000 There's nothing good.
00:14:13.000 The record was 10,000 per day.
00:14:15.000 This says, if it reaches $8,500 per day, then we'll move the rest to a legal port of entry.
00:14:22.000 What?
00:14:22.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:14:24.000 There's no... They're not saying they're going to stop them.
00:14:25.000 They're saying, after $8,500, the rest can go apply at a legal port of entry, and it removes the requirement for courts in many circumstances.
00:14:34.000 Well, and you saw what Chris Murphy said, right?
00:14:36.000 Chris Murphy, who's one of the architects of the bill, said that under this bill, the border never closes.
00:14:42.000 He said the border never closes.
00:14:45.000 So what kind of border security is this if we can't even close our own borders?
00:14:48.000 Well, here's the thing, too.
00:14:49.000 So I don't know if you saw this, but if you saw this bill, you'd be criticizing every portion of this bill if it came across your desk and you actually had the time to read it before.
00:14:58.000 Yeah.
00:14:58.000 But Matt Gaetz, who for all intents and purposes is a pretty decent guy most of the time on some of this stuff, but he came out and he said, why don't we just defund UN so we can fund Israel?
00:15:13.000 I had to pose to him.
00:15:14.000 I said, Matt, you realize this isn't Israel, right?
00:15:18.000 We don't live in Israel.
00:15:19.000 You're the America First guy.
00:15:20.000 What are you doing, you know?
00:15:21.000 But yeah, this whole bill is from front to back just terrible.
00:15:25.000 There's nothing good in there.
00:15:26.000 We fund the UN and the UN hires a bunch of people that are linked to Hamas and puts them in Gaza to distribute all of the aid to Hamas.
00:15:33.000 But this is where we can find a compromise.
00:15:37.000 How about we say, alright, 60 billion to Ukraine, but no more funding to the UN ever, no funding to, you know, this is the last one, like, you tie it to something.
00:15:48.000 What did I say?
00:15:51.000 The general idea is you tie it to something in such a way that it puts them in a position they can't maintain.
00:15:55.000 We'll fund the wars that they want if we can bulldoze all of Washington, D.C.
00:16:00.000 No!
00:16:00.000 Listen, 12% of the population... 12%... Okay, if we can bulldoze D.C., I'm in.
00:16:05.000 No, but 12% of the population of the United States is having a problem putting food on the table today, and we're sending $60 billion to Ukraine.
00:16:11.000 Why?
00:16:12.000 Why?
00:16:14.000 Because Chuck Schumer is threatening us.
00:16:18.000 It is money laundering.
00:16:19.000 And he threatened that if we don't do it, then he's going to send our kids to go fight in Eastern Europe.
00:16:25.000 Everybody that's in office now needs to get fired.
00:16:28.000 November needs to be an absolute, it must be a massacre.
00:16:32.000 Everybody that's in office, if you're an incumbent, fire them.
00:16:36.000 A metaphorical massacre.
00:16:38.000 We're talking about the vote.
00:16:39.000 Let me pull up this from the Postmillennial.
00:16:41.000 Chuck Schumer demands border never closes bill pass or else U.S.
00:16:46.000 troops will have to fight in Ukraine.
00:16:51.000 He did not literally say Ukraine.
00:16:53.000 He said in Eastern Europe in a NATO ally in a few years.
00:16:58.000 And so it's vague enough.
00:17:00.000 First, he could mean Poland.
00:17:02.000 He could mean Sweden.
00:17:04.000 I think it's fair to argue he might literally mean Ukraine, in that the West wants to take control of it and would absolutely shove it to NATO if they had to.
00:17:13.000 But he's basically saying, Vladimir Putin is going to invade Europe, and so we need this border security bill?
00:17:22.000 Who's border security?
00:17:23.000 Ukraine's?
00:17:24.000 It's a Ukraine border security bill.
00:17:25.000 I want to know how my border got to Ukraine.
00:17:27.000 It's pretty bizarre.
00:17:29.000 You know, when we say, how did our freedoms get to the Middle East?
00:17:31.000 How did our border get to Ukraine?
00:17:32.000 Who's we now?
00:17:34.000 Fire them all, bulldoze DC, salt the earth.
00:17:36.000 I truly, I'm coming to believe this hypothesis, at least I have the hypothesis, that we are in a slow coup that's been going on for a hundred years, man.
00:17:42.000 Slow?
00:17:42.000 It's like a banking, yeah, they're trying to do it not fast enough to alert the people.
00:17:45.000 JFK.
00:17:46.000 Like JFK, the Federal Reserve, the business plot, There's so much.
00:17:51.000 There's so many foreign wars that are proxy wars with money getting laundered away from our country.
00:17:56.000 And like, I mean, 9-11 even, I could just go down a list of things I find in my hypothesis that this is a news show.
00:18:02.000 I'm not going to do that on a news show, but like the last 10 years, it's been like, they're like, make it, don't alert them.
00:18:07.000 Don't alert them.
00:18:08.000 Just let's get the money.
00:18:09.000 Let's do the COVID spending.
00:18:11.000 It increased our budget by like 20%, our deficit by like 20% in like two years.
00:18:18.000 Soft coup.
00:18:19.000 I mean, I would actually suggest, I would ask, at what point does the government become the functioning and in control government, right?
00:18:31.000 So Taiwan, the official name of Taiwan is what the Republic of China, I believe, correct?
00:18:35.000 Yeah.
00:18:36.000 And so many people make the joke that Communist China is just West Taiwan.
00:18:41.000 Because the original government of China fled to Taiwan.
00:18:44.000 They've maintained themselves ever since, resisting the communists.
00:18:46.000 And so my question is, at what point, after the coup happened in the United States, Woodrow Wilson, who knows, the banker plot, the Federal Reserve... 1913, that's about right.
00:18:55.000 Right, so my point is simply this.
00:18:58.000 Maybe the revolution was Donald Trump.
00:19:00.000 Not that he is a perfect guy, not that he was the guy, but that he ripped the establishment's power in twain, and they were losing their minds.
00:19:09.000 And they're still losing it.
00:19:10.000 Absolutely.
00:19:11.000 And so when everyone's like, they're trying to stage a coup, and I'm like, well, you know, the thing is, the establishment was in control.
00:19:17.000 The Uniparty was in control.
00:19:19.000 Then a bunch of people on the internet made a bunch of memes, and the reality TV real estate mogul wins, And says, don't do wars, we're shutting it down, secure our borders, and then they lose their minds like, we've lost control of this.
00:19:31.000 That's why it's funny when they say our democracy.
00:19:33.000 They say Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy.
00:19:36.000 They're literally saying that there's a populist uprising against the autocratic control we've maintained for generations.
00:19:42.000 Yep, that's true.
00:19:43.000 It was George Bush Sr.
00:19:45.000 in the 90s said that we were moving towards a new world order, this liberal economic order was fading into something new, a global order.
00:19:52.000 And Trump got into office and cancelled the Trans-Pacific Partnership right away, three days in.
00:19:58.000 If you look at the Investor State Dispute Settlement Clause in that Trans-Pacific Partnership, it said foreign countries, these investors, these Malaysian oil companies, can sue a state For discrimination.
00:20:08.000 If we chose not to buy a Malaysian company's oil as American citizens, they could sue our country, and as taxpayers, we would have had to pay a corporation out.
00:20:15.000 That's what that Trans-Pacific Partnership was going to do to us, and Obama was on board.
00:20:19.000 And then Trump came in and threw it in the garbage.
00:20:20.000 I don't even know if he knew what it was, what it was doing.
00:20:22.000 I don't know if he stopped something he understood.
00:20:23.000 He just knew there were a bunch of people outside yelling Trump, and they had expressed concerns about it.
00:20:27.000 Let's not fool ourselves and act like there's not so much foreign influence today still in the United States.
00:20:32.000 Of course, of course.
00:20:34.000 Apex, arguably one of the very strongest outside influences in the United States today and it's, you know, and it's not good for us as Americans, especially when you're an American first person.
00:20:44.000 But Trump got in office and immediately hired John Bolton.
00:20:47.000 So, I mean, the establishment thing is kind of... No, no, I think Donald Trump... He was not great at hiring.
00:20:52.000 It was the worst.
00:20:53.000 It was really bad.
00:20:54.000 Understand Donald Trump thought...
00:20:56.000 He was like, I'll play ball and I'll get done what I want to get done.
00:20:58.000 And they were like, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:59.000 You don't understand.
00:21:00.000 You live under our boot.
00:21:02.000 You know, they, they, the, the, the joke is, you know, as soon as you win the election, you sit down in the Oval Office, guy from the CIA sits down and just hands him, sits down to Mr. President, opens a manila folder and then slides a picture of JFK right across the table and says, we'll be in touch and then leaves.
00:21:15.000 Right.
00:21:16.000 We get it.
00:21:16.000 We get it.
00:21:17.000 Trump is the guy who was like, what is this?
00:21:18.000 I don't know what you're showing me.
00:21:19.000 Why are you showing me a picture of this guy?
00:21:21.000 And they're like, um, We're letting you know.
00:21:23.000 Letting me know what?
00:21:23.000 I don't get it.
00:21:24.000 Too dumb to intimidate.
00:21:25.000 He doesn't understand what I'm trying to say to him.
00:21:27.000 He's like, look, we're going to secure the border.
00:21:29.000 We're shutting down.
00:21:29.000 There was no Mr. President.
00:21:30.000 We're not.
00:21:31.000 Yes, we are.
00:21:31.000 I'm the boss.
00:21:32.000 And he doesn't listen.
00:21:33.000 Yeah.
00:21:34.000 So what do I think is?
00:21:37.000 When Trump was running, I remember I was in D.C.
00:21:39.000 Trump had a meeting with a bunch of established Republicans.
00:21:41.000 They did not want him.
00:21:42.000 The Democrats wanted him to be the Pied Piper candidate.
00:21:45.000 Trump, I think, genuinely wants to secure the borders, bring jobs back.
00:21:48.000 That goes against their agenda.
00:21:50.000 And so he thinks, when he gets in, now I'm the president.
00:21:53.000 I've got to play ball with some of these guys.
00:21:55.000 I've got to, you know, there's favors.
00:21:57.000 We'll bring in John Bolton.
00:21:57.000 I think Sheldon Adelstein wanted a lot of favors.
00:22:01.000 Absolutely.
00:22:02.000 And so then what happens?
00:22:03.000 Russiagate.
00:22:04.000 And Trump, I think, finally realizes, bro, you are being tricked, manipulated, and lied to, and you brought in a bunch of dumbasses.
00:22:14.000 I question whether or not there are people In available to fill the positions that are not currently like already steeped in the bureaucracy, right?
00:22:25.000 Right. Like there are a lot of positions that have to be filled.
00:22:28.000 And I don't know who you go with.
00:22:30.000 That's actually someone that's not, you know, that's not already got there.
00:22:36.000 They're, you know, significant connections to to the existing bureaucracy just because, you know, that's my
00:22:41.000 concern.
00:22:41.000 But Bolton is like, well, obviously, the worst.
00:22:43.000 Let me tell you, in order to hire John Bolton, Trump had to drive past a local prison, drive past a city dump.
00:22:53.000 All better people and go way, way down to the to the Pacific garbage gyre where he got a submersible and went
00:22:59.000 down to where all the deepest trenches of garbage have sunk.
00:23:02.000 And dig even deeper than that.
00:23:04.000 And there's John Bolton.
00:23:05.000 We could have dug up the corpse of Madeleine Albright.
00:23:07.000 It would have been the same thing, essentially.
00:23:09.000 And so, yeah, it's terrible.
00:23:11.000 And so that was what worries me about Trump, too, right?
00:23:14.000 Like in 2024, should Trump win?
00:23:15.000 Is it the same thing going to happen?
00:23:19.000 And then that's great.
00:23:21.000 And I get that.
00:23:21.000 But my concern is that a lot of my young Republican friends, because I have a lot of friends that are Republicans, tons of friends that are very excited about Trump because of who the VP pick might be.
00:23:30.000 And I think everybody's like, oh, it's got to be somebody like Vivek or somebody like Kristi Noem or somebody like that.
00:23:36.000 And I'm like, you realize that like 80% of the GOP is still like deeply entrenched like neocons and they have to play to that part of the party, not the 7% that like Vivek.
00:23:46.000 It would be really funny if Trump just like came out and was like, I've chosen my VP, John Bolton!
00:23:53.000 I think it's gonna be somebody along the lines of Nikki Haley, I really believe that.
00:23:57.000 I think it might be Tucker, man.
00:23:58.000 I'll put it simply for those that don't know, John Bolton has a long history of working in administrations and just wanting more.
00:24:03.000 And so he had a quote, I think this was during the Trump administration, he said something like, this time next year we will be celebrating in Tehran.
00:24:10.000 And so he is just a...
00:24:13.000 Neocon, maximalist, warmonger character.
00:24:15.000 Nikki Haley ain't got nothing on the war he wants.
00:24:18.000 Trump hiring him was a mistake.
00:24:19.000 And then Bolton stabbed him in the back.
00:24:21.000 You could do the higher cabinet of a bunch of successful businessmen.
00:24:24.000 At this point, it's like the founders did.
00:24:26.000 The founding fathers were a bunch of successful businessmen that got together and started and ran a government together because they knew how to run things and they weren't entrenched in the garbage.
00:24:34.000 Elon Musk for VP.
00:24:38.000 I mean, if you're talking about getting people that are actually going to satisfy, like, supposedly the other side of the aisle, the last people they're going to be satisfied with are people that are, like, you know, CEOs and board members of companies.
00:24:49.000 Dude, you can't satisfy the other side of the aisle.
00:24:52.000 I would agree with that.
00:24:53.000 We were talking about this downstairs because this song came on by Passion Pit.
00:24:58.000 And there's a line, he has a song called, I Took a Walk.
00:25:02.000 And there's a line in the song where it says, we can rip apart all the socialists and all their damn taxes.
00:25:07.000 And the left went nuts over the song, attacking the band and criticizing them, it was like a cancel culture thing, for having dared said that.
00:25:15.000 And that the point of the song though, is it's about the feelings of like his elder, his relatives, and it's quotes from them and things they have said.
00:25:23.000 He's not literally saying he hates socialism.
00:25:25.000 He's just saying like, this is what the older guy said to him.
00:25:28.000 But the left doesn't care what's true.
00:25:30.000 They don't care about the point of the statement or the message.
00:25:33.000 It's just, it's surface level.
00:25:36.000 It's one-dimensional thinking.
00:25:38.000 So if you want to satisfy these people, I mean, we were talking about this just before the show and I mentioned it in the morning segment about this guy.
00:25:46.000 I was playing poker and he had Trump derangement syndrome down in DC.
00:25:51.000 And I realized something, my girlfriend had said, he was muttering to himself, he was screaming, how could you vote for Trump?
00:25:57.000 He would not listen to a single word.
00:25:59.000 He asked me to name one thing Trump did that I liked, I said, no new wars, he keeps muttering.
00:26:04.000 He's like, you can't even name one thing, I'll make Abraham Accords, he keeps muttering.
00:26:08.000 And I'm like, this guy can't hear a word.
00:26:10.000 He's just sitting there.
00:26:11.000 So stupid.
00:26:11.000 These people are so dumb and stupid.
00:26:13.000 And then my girlfriend's like, he doesn't know what the Abraham Accords are.
00:26:15.000 And I was like, ah, there's no way for him to respond at all
00:26:20.000 to what that means because he doesn't know.
00:26:22.000 You can't satisfy these people because they live in a shoebox.
00:26:25.000 But arguably besides the no new wars thing, the best thing Trump did was like make people extreme
00:26:31.000 on the corporate news media being the enemy of the people.
00:26:33.000 I mean, that's the greatest thing that Trump did.
00:26:36.000 And it was hilarious watching him work.
00:26:37.000 I mean, just, you know, the way that he's able to just troll people in real life is amazing.
00:26:42.000 Like, that's great.
00:26:42.000 I love that.
00:26:43.000 But I do worry about Trump, too, and what that means for, you know, the people who get their hopes up for a lot of stuff and then it doesn't happen.
00:26:50.000 In 2020, less than half a million people came across the border and were apprehended.
00:26:54.000 It was less than half a million.
00:26:58.000 Yeah.
00:26:58.000 Illegal immigrants.
00:26:59.000 In 2020.
00:26:59.000 What can you really expect from Donald Trump too?
00:27:04.000 Like, what is it that you think people are expecting?
00:27:07.000 I think, well, I think people, first of all, the VP spot.
00:27:10.000 I think that a lot of people are going to be let down when we find out who the VP is.
00:27:12.000 But that's not even when he's president.
00:27:14.000 Let's say he gets elected and I don't know.
00:27:15.000 And you know, people are like, oh, it's going to be somebody great.
00:27:17.000 I'm like, do you remember who his VP was last time?
00:27:21.000 So let's say it's Trump-Burgum.
00:27:23.000 I'm just picking like the least probable candidate.
00:27:25.000 Sure.
00:27:25.000 Yeah.
00:27:25.000 What do people think?
00:27:27.000 Like, what do you perceive as the hopes and dreams?
00:27:31.000 I think on the extreme side, it's that, you know, all these people are going to go to jail, right?
00:27:34.000 Like, this is the revenge tour.
00:27:36.000 We're going to lock up all these corrupt people and shut down the border, and we're going to end all the wars, and we're going to, you know, give all the tax cuts.
00:27:46.000 But that's what a lot of people think.
00:27:47.000 But no, no, no, but like, first, Locking people up and arresting everybody.
00:27:51.000 Maybe some people might get some referrals.
00:27:54.000 You don't think that some people won't get arrested?
00:27:56.000 I sure hope so.
00:27:57.000 I don't think it's going to be like military tribunals where they go after the Clintons or anything.
00:28:01.000 I think it's going to be like we're going to hear about lawyers and we're going to hear about election officials.
00:28:06.000 There's going to be criminal charges brought up by... I mean, could you imagine if Kash Patel was the AG?
00:28:11.000 Right, there would be criminal charges.
00:28:13.000 I don't think it's going to be like this apocalyptic thing.
00:28:16.000 Ending wars?
00:28:18.000 Well, Donald Trump is the best president in my lifetime on foreign war.
00:28:23.000 And pulling our troops out of Afghanistan, setting the deadline for it, I should say, Biden screwed that up, trying to get our troops out of Syria, and no new wars.
00:28:30.000 He kind of expanded the Syrian war, though, a little bit when he did that too, right?
00:28:34.000 When he tried to get our troops out?
00:28:35.000 Yeah.
00:28:36.000 How so?
00:28:37.000 Didn't we send them a bunch more cash right after that happened?
00:28:40.000 I mean, if we're leaving, and like, if you came to me and said, we're gonna pull our, here's what Trump wants to do, he wants to get all our troops out of Syria, and then we'll give Syria some cash, it's like, okay.
00:28:49.000 But he didn't pull the troops out.
00:28:51.000 No, no, no, he did, he gave the order, and then the officials lied to the American people, to him, and kept them in.
00:29:00.000 Fair.
00:29:00.000 Right, that's messed, look, if the only thing I could be offered was, vote for Donald Trump, he'll take a dump on the floor of the White House, but he won't start a war, I'll take it.
00:29:10.000 Yeah, that is a better deal.
00:29:12.000 Considering how many people are taking dumps on the floor.
00:29:15.000 To be honest, Joe Biden is like, he'll dump on the floor, in his pants, everywhere he goes.
00:29:21.000 He'll have to change his pants several times.
00:29:23.000 He'll start several wars.
00:29:24.000 And I'm like, well, there's no upside that.
00:29:26.000 Yeah, well, also, none of us are stupid enough to believe that Joe Biden is actually leading the foreign policy in the United States right now, right?
00:29:31.000 Dude is a mess.
00:29:33.000 They just did a poll, they just put out a poll where only 23% of the respondents said that they think his mental capacity is good enough to be president again.
00:29:40.000 And that's, I mean, I think that's high.
00:29:42.000 I think 23% is high, but that's really low in a poll for this country.
00:29:46.000 Well, you heard what Bill Maher was saying.
00:29:49.000 Gavin Newsom's a winner.
00:29:50.000 He can win an election.
00:29:52.000 Sure.
00:29:53.000 Joe Biden Man.
00:29:56.000 You know, the argument from the DeSantis people that the only reason or one of the main reasons they don't want Trump is Trump is a loser.
00:30:01.000 He's going to lose.
00:30:01.000 Everyone hates him.
00:30:03.000 And it is true.
00:30:04.000 The only reason Joe Biden won is because people vote against Donald Trump.
00:30:07.000 I take that back.
00:30:08.000 Not the only reason.
00:30:09.000 A good factor in why Biden actually got votes was not because anyone liked Biden, but the strong factor in why Biden won was because activists went out and collected ballots.
00:30:18.000 Because they mailed ballots to people and then people were told how to vote.
00:30:22.000 Well, I'm telling you, listen.
00:30:23.000 And then they told us that wasn't happening.
00:30:24.000 I hate this.
00:30:24.000 The United States is really big on politicians failing upwards.
00:30:28.000 We've known this forever.
00:30:29.000 And coming from California, I watched Gavin Newsom ruin San Francisco.
00:30:33.000 San Francisco used to be a really beautiful city when I was a kid, and he ruined it.
00:30:36.000 He destroyed it.
00:30:37.000 And instead of going, hey, that guy really ruined one of our coolest cities in the state.
00:30:40.000 Let's get rid of him.
00:30:41.000 We said, let's make him the governor of the state.
00:30:44.000 And so we can have a Poo Maps for all of California.
00:30:46.000 And next, who knows?
00:30:47.000 Maybe the country.
00:30:48.000 Maybe the world.
00:30:50.000 Why stop there?
00:30:51.000 Mars needs more.
00:30:53.000 There was an article written several years ago that I had covered.
00:30:56.000 California is five years ahead of the United States.
00:30:59.000 Over the past several decades, whatever happens in California five years later is national.
00:31:05.000 And so they talk about a bunch of policies, you know, gay marriage was a big issue in California, things like that.
00:31:11.000 Illegal immigration, sanctuary cities became... Sanctuary states for trans kids.
00:31:16.000 Well, California had sanctuary cities, which then turned into a sanctuary state, and then all of a sudden you start seeing it spread across the country.
00:31:22.000 And I think it has a lot to do with the undue influence they have through illegal immigration.
00:31:28.000 They get extra votes.
00:31:29.000 Oh yeah, there's no doubt.
00:31:30.000 Yeah, some members of Congress have said it's between five and seven extra congressional seats, which is five to seven extra electoral college votes for president because of non-citizens they have illegally allowed into their country in defiance of federal law.
00:31:44.000 Well, under Trump, Trump said that the census should differentiate between people who are here illegally and citizens who are, you know, obviously lawful citizens.
00:31:54.000 And that's what he was aiming for.
00:31:56.000 And Biden reversed that within his first few days in office.
00:32:00.000 And of course, the reason is to get more congressional seats for Democrat-led states that allow all that illegal immigration.
00:32:07.000 I want to jump to the story from the Anchorage Daily News.
00:32:09.000 February 3rd, Alaska National Guard plans deployment to assist federal government on US-Mexico border.
00:32:15.000 I love it.
00:32:16.000 I posted an image of this and someone said, who knew Alaska was so based?
00:32:20.000 And everyone responded, Alaska assisting the feds is not based.
00:32:25.000 So the gist of the story is this.
00:32:27.000 They're deploying a couple aircraft and 20 personnel to assist with the aircraft.
00:32:32.000 They say it's routine.
00:32:34.000 This is, they say, Major Ryan Wierzbicki, a spokesman for the U.S.
00:32:38.000 Army's Joint Task Force North, said in a phone interview that Alaska Guard members would be sent to any of four states along the border, including Texas and Arizona.
00:32:45.000 Federal requests for states to provide border assistance are issued regularly and have become routine.
00:32:49.000 Now, I tweeted about this somewhat facetiously.
00:32:52.000 I said, what do you call it when a National Guard is called up to go against another state's National Guard?
00:32:59.000 And I got community noted on X, where it took selective excerpts from the article to obfuscate what's actually happening.
00:33:06.000 It said, they are not going against each other.
00:33:09.000 I'm like, I asked the question intentionally, you know, not to state it definitively, but it is true.
00:33:16.000 These individuals will be providing assistance to CBP in Texas as well as.
00:33:21.000 But that does mean Texas.
00:33:22.000 That does mean part of their deployment will put them up against Texas.
00:33:26.000 I don't know how else to describe it.
00:33:28.000 If Texas National Guard is saying, no to CBP, back the F off, and you have no jurisdiction here, or we've cut you off from your jurisdiction, how in any way could you interpret Any amount of National Guard being called in by the feds to a variety of states, which include Texas, anything other than, they will be as part of the deployment against Texas National Guard.
00:33:46.000 It also says, they also said, it's a routine thing.
00:33:50.000 Many people responded saying, it's totally routine.
00:33:53.000 It's not that big a deal.
00:33:54.000 Yo, it says in the article, the last time they did this was 2019.
00:33:57.000 Five years ago is not routine.
00:33:59.000 No.
00:33:59.000 Now, I'm not saying Joe Biden got on the phone and said, we need to bring the National Guard in to get to stop Texas.
00:34:05.000 I'm saying it's a grain of sand in a heap.
00:34:07.000 And the question is, is this the most tone-deaf move you could possibly make when the Texas National Guard has deployed armed soldiers to physically remove and bar federal agents from removing border barriers?
00:34:21.000 Or was it an intentional, CBP needs assistance because of what is happening with... Look, I'll put it this way.
00:34:29.000 I don't care what state they go to.
00:34:30.000 CBP and Texas are completely at odds as to how to operate this.
00:34:35.000 We've had people who have reported on the ground, at the border, tell us When Taylor Hanson was here, he said, tens of thousands of people, it's chaos, there's litter.
00:34:46.000 What happened after Texas took over?
00:34:47.000 Three?
00:34:48.000 Yeah.
00:34:49.000 He said four to six, maybe.
00:34:50.000 And I said, thousand?
00:34:51.000 He goes, no, no, no, no, four to six, like four, five, or six.
00:34:54.000 And I was like, you mean like on my finger four?
00:34:56.000 Yeah, four people.
00:34:57.000 I'm like, when, what?
00:34:59.000 So when CBP is facilitating human smuggling, and then Texas steps in, what do you think it's going to mean that the Alaska National Guard is assisting them?
00:35:10.000 It means these individuals who are providing assistance with aviation to the CBP will be at odds with the mission of the Texas National Guard.
00:35:20.000 That's a fact.
00:35:22.000 And I'll give you one more.
00:35:23.000 Let me see if I can find this... I had this... I'm surprised Alaska would send them, to be honest, and Dunlea, because it's... I mean, that state kind of already hates the Fed anyways.
00:35:32.000 Yeah, why would they do that?
00:35:34.000 That's like one of those states that's actually pretty anti-federal.
00:35:36.000 I had the story pulled up, I lost it, but the Border Patrol Union supports the new border bill.
00:35:41.000 Yeah, there's a lot of pay increases and stuff for border guards in there.
00:35:46.000 But the border bill, as we've covered in a previous segment, does not have any security at all.
00:35:53.000 It codifies 8,500 criminal aliens entering the country every day and gives them the funding, and it gives them more authority to adjudicate asylum claims without a judge.
00:36:03.000 So, of course, they're for it.
00:36:04.000 Do we want, let's say this law, look, they're planning on having this law probably pass, I doubt it'll happen, but if it did, and CBP is now in the legal, has legislatively been given the right to bring in five to eight thousand criminal aliens every day, and in some instances determine their asylum cases just right there, and they get work permits, Alaskan National Guard is going to be helping them do that.
00:36:28.000 And that's still three million illegals, illegal immigrants a year, by the way, which is not a huge drop in what we're seeing currently.
00:36:36.000 So it's it's not it's not good.
00:36:38.000 None of this is acceptable.
00:36:40.000 I mean, it also, though, I mean, the the the border bill also has an increase in pay for asylum and border agents.
00:36:47.000 Yeah, that's a big part of it.
00:36:49.000 So I'll point this out, too.
00:36:50.000 In the community note, it said it has nothing to do with Operation Lone Star.
00:36:54.000 That's exactly my point.
00:36:56.000 Operation Lone Star is Texas' operation securing the border.
00:37:00.000 This mobilization has nothing to do with that.
00:37:02.000 It has to do with supporting Customs and Border Protection in what they do, which is the opposite of Operation Lone Star.
00:37:10.000 And so they are trying really hard to downplay this move being made.
00:37:14.000 I think we have to point this out because Alaskan governor, Mike Dunleavy, actually joined 24 other GOP governors in support of Greg Abbott.
00:37:25.000 Why now would he be like, okay, I guess?
00:37:28.000 No, no, no.
00:37:29.000 We put pressure on them and say, don't you dare.
00:37:30.000 I don't care if it's 1, 5, or 20.
00:37:32.000 I don't care if it's 200.
00:37:34.000 We should say, no, CBP is facilitating human trafficking.
00:37:38.000 Do not send support.
00:37:40.000 Yep.
00:37:40.000 It's all for show, though.
00:37:41.000 Did you see what Abbott said?
00:37:43.000 He said that there had been 3,000 to 4,000 people coming across in a day, and now it's gone down to 3,000.
00:37:48.000 Yeah, it's wild.
00:37:50.000 That's what he was just saying.
00:37:50.000 That's what Taylor Hanson was telling us.
00:37:52.000 Taylor has gone down.
00:37:54.000 Shout out to Tenet Media.
00:37:55.000 He reports for Tenet.
00:37:57.000 Taylor was saying that he was there during the peak of the crisis, and there's garbage and thousands of people.
00:38:02.000 And then once Texas takes over, 4,000.
00:38:04.000 That's wild.
00:38:06.000 If I understand correctly, they have moved the locations to places in New Mexico and Arizona?
00:38:11.000 They've started to go into other states?
00:38:13.000 Which also makes sense for this deployment.
00:38:15.000 Texas, look, Texas is at odds with CBP.
00:38:19.000 They have put up barriers in Operation Lone Star shipping containers with razor wire all over them.
00:38:24.000 So the criminal enterprise is shifting operations to other parts of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
00:38:31.000 So what?
00:38:32.000 Alaska National Guard is going to go help the human smugglers, CBP, at the border in Arizona?
00:38:37.000 That is still working against this country.
00:38:41.000 It's worse than just working against Texas.
00:38:44.000 Yeah.
00:38:45.000 And so like the 10th amendment gives Texas the right to handle their own border situation anyways.
00:38:49.000 I mean, at the end of the day, the border bell would get rid of that.
00:38:52.000 Yes, exactly.
00:38:53.000 That's, and that's the goal.
00:38:54.000 I think that's the goal because the 10th amendment gives them the right.
00:38:56.000 And what they've moved the deadline on the, the, the cutoff deadline from Biden.
00:39:00.000 What three times now has it been like three times?
00:39:02.000 Cause they can't do anything.
00:39:03.000 They can't do anything.
00:39:03.000 They're the, the, the constitution gives Texas the right to, to guard their own borders.
00:39:07.000 They could guard, They're borders from any illegal invasion that they want to, because it's not mentioned that that power is strictly given to the federal government.
00:39:14.000 So what does the 10th Amendment say?
00:39:15.000 It says that anything not mentioned expressly for the federal government here in the Constitution is up to the states.
00:39:21.000 Actually, what is it, Article 4, Section 4 states that the federal government must defend from invasion?
00:39:27.000 Sure, yes.
00:39:27.000 Now you got this bill that the National Guard can respond with lethal force on the border.
00:39:32.000 Yeah, but they can litigate what is an invasion all day long for My point is, when you've got photos and videos of human traffickers with rifles, to the point where a Republican has proposed a bill that would allow the National Guard to use lethal force against these individuals, I'm like, uh, I kind of think when they're smuggling humans with weapons into our country, and many of them are flying the flag of their home country, and like, they have guns, I would call that an invasion.
00:39:57.000 Did you guys see Bret Weinstein talk to Tucker Carlson?
00:40:00.000 He went down to the Darien Gap, which is this area south of, I think, southern Panama.
00:40:05.000 Yeah, the most dangerous.
00:40:06.000 Like 60 miles of jungle, where this is like where most people meet their maker when they're trying to flee here.
00:40:11.000 They go through the Darien Gap.
00:40:12.000 I don't know if most, but a lot of people die in that jungle.
00:40:14.000 And he said he saw camps.
00:40:16.000 Lots of camps, and they were very friendly.
00:40:18.000 One in particular, very friendly, and they let him in, and he was talking to people there.
00:40:20.000 They're fleeing economics.
00:40:21.000 They're not fleeing political asylum.
00:40:23.000 There's economic asylum, which is not... The U.S.
00:40:25.000 government, first of all, is not supposed to take people for economic asylum.
00:40:27.000 That's not a real thing.
00:40:29.000 Cause it displaces our own economics.
00:40:30.000 Secondly, then Brett's like, yo, and then I went to this camp and it was a Chinese camp and they wouldn't let us anywhere near it.
00:40:35.000 And they were what I would call hostile.
00:40:37.000 Wow.
00:40:37.000 So what I think is happening is that there is an economic migration happening, but it's masking an invasion.
00:40:45.000 Think of it like this.
00:40:45.000 I think that's, I think there's a good chance of that.
00:40:48.000 Yeah, there's something that people don't or that we don't talk about or people don't bring up much that I heard someone discussing today was the one child policy in China that went on from the 70s.
00:40:57.000 I think it was like just a couple until recently.
00:41:00.000 There are you know, probably a couple and I'm probably not exaggerating but I don't know for sure but I imagine it's probably a couple hundred million young men with no that have Nothing to do and no women.
00:41:15.000 China needs to do something with these guys.
00:41:17.000 Because women were aborted on top of everything else.
00:41:19.000 Little girls were aborted before they could be born.
00:41:21.000 Yeah, and so these guys, young men that have nothing to do, they start civil wars.
00:41:26.000 They start, they cause all the problems societies run into.
00:41:31.000 It's always young men that have nothing to do.
00:41:34.000 And don't have limits.
00:41:35.000 They don't have families.
00:41:36.000 I want to clarify.
00:41:37.000 We got a super chat so I want to give some clarification because they're pointing out that it says potentially deployed in early 2025.
00:41:42.000 I think it's important that people know that but I don't think it changes anything that we're talking about right now.
00:41:48.000 It's tone-deaf right now to make this announcement.
00:41:51.000 And the other thing we talked about early in this segment is the point of the border security bill One strong point is that, and why they're starting wars, they want to make sure that whatever happens, if Donald Trump gets elected, they steamroll through what they want with or without him and lock him in place so he can't change anything about it.
00:42:09.000 Announcing this deployment early means that if Trump does get in office, he'll have a harder time stopping it from happening.
00:42:15.000 Can we talk about how crazy it is that we're bombing Iraq again for 33 years and we want to open the border completely?
00:42:21.000 I mean, we've destabilized so many regions in the Middle East and we're like, yeah, come on in.
00:42:25.000 It's totally cool.
00:42:25.000 No one's going to worry.
00:42:27.000 And also, when people come in, right, we have this part of our culture now is to tell everyone that America sucks and everything that America stands for is bad.
00:42:37.000 Part of whose culture?
00:42:39.000 That's part of American culture.
00:42:40.000 Not my culture.
00:42:41.000 That's part of the culture of the nation in which we were born and raised.
00:42:47.000 That culture has been taken over by really bad actors who hate America and hate Americans.
00:42:51.000 Cultural revolution.
00:42:52.000 It's a cultural revolution.
00:42:53.000 And so we have people coming in and you have all of these progressives saying, your culture is better than ours.
00:42:59.000 So don't bother assimilating.
00:43:01.000 Don't learn English.
00:43:02.000 Don't learn our values.
00:43:03.000 Don't become part of our culture.
00:43:05.000 And that's not how it used to be when you had like the Ellis Island community.
00:43:09.000 That's what they are, they're communists.
00:43:10.000 It's the communists that did that.
00:43:12.000 You guys love poker tables.
00:43:16.000 You will get kicked out for speaking any other language but English.
00:43:19.000 I have fun hanging out watching you guys play poker.
00:43:21.000 Yuri Bezmenov warned us of this in the 80s.
00:43:24.000 I mean, he defected from Russia and said, hey, the communists are taking over every single one of your institutions, your libraries, your schools, your government, your hospitals, all of the not-for-profits, mental health care.
00:43:35.000 What about the banks?
00:43:36.000 Publishing?
00:43:37.000 But the only reason that matters... Have they overtly taken over the banks?
00:43:40.000 Probably, yeah.
00:43:40.000 The only reason it matters that they did this is that we no longer go to church.
00:43:47.000 But to be fair, the communists are taking over a lot of churches too.
00:43:49.000 Yeah, that too.
00:43:50.000 I mean, there's a church right up the street from my house hanging a giant rainbow flag in front of the church.
00:43:55.000 Liberation theology.
00:43:56.000 Yeah, I'm like, what are you guys, what are you worshiping here, man?
00:43:58.000 I mean, this is not... I don't know, I moved to West Virginia and the churches, the church I go to is full.
00:44:04.000 I'm converting Orthodox currently because they're like the one church that hasn't cucked to the communists.
00:44:09.000 Do you go to that one that's like downtown Charlestown?
00:44:13.000 I don't want to say on air.
00:44:14.000 Where do you go to church at?
00:44:17.000 See you there.
00:44:18.000 See you every Sunday with my child.
00:44:21.000 Seamus would go there and really nice and I told the story of how like we were gonna go grab food and Seamus was like yeah I got church and I'll be out at this time I was like cool meet up and you know I show up with my brother and I'm just wearing my clothes and I see these like little kids playing and they're dressed very nicely and I was like man Something got lost.
00:44:41.000 Yes.
00:44:42.000 You know, and it's not about, in my opinion, it's not about being Christian and believing in God, although I think there's a strong correlation between these things.
00:44:50.000 Community is huge.
00:44:51.000 Community and, what's the right word, I guess, decorum, in a sense.
00:44:57.000 Decorum, community, manners, feeling like you're part of something.
00:45:00.000 Like the church I went to in Brooklyn, where I really liked the, you know, I liked the other people there.
00:45:05.000 I taught CCD there, and I liked them.
00:45:08.000 But they... What does that mean?
00:45:11.000 Sorry, CCD.
00:45:12.000 CCD, I forget what it's called, but it's basically where you teach the kids Catholicism, and they go through all the sacraments.
00:45:18.000 So they start young and they go through... Catechism.
00:45:21.000 Catechism, yeah.
00:45:22.000 You do the same thing for Orthodox Church, too.
00:45:23.000 Yeah, you go through all the sacraments, you have like, you know.
00:45:27.000 CCD is so you can get confirmed as an adult.
00:45:29.000 In the church, yeah.
00:45:30.000 But like you do.
00:45:31.000 You have to do it for Orthodox Church.
00:45:32.000 Confession and communion and confirmation and blah, blah, blah.
00:45:37.000 But it was very like there was a Spanish mass that had all the families at it and there were a ton
00:45:45.000 of kids and the whole mass was in Spanish.
00:45:47.000 And then you had the English mass, which was just a lot of old people and hardly any kids.
00:45:51.000 And we don't speak Spanish, so much the pity, I guess.
00:45:54.000 And we would walk out of mass and like all the families and kids were coming in and like,
00:46:00.000 we weren't part of that mass.
00:46:02.000 And I found it really frustrating.
00:46:04.000 And I would say to the, you know, I would say to the leadership of the church,
00:46:07.000 we should do one giant bilingual mass and parts of it are in Spanish and parts of it are in English.
00:46:13.000 And they'd be like, well, we won't all understand what's going on.
00:46:15.000 And I'm like, it doesn't matter if we know what's going on or not.
00:46:18.000 The only thing that matters is that my kids and your kids are all hanging out, you know, trying to get in trouble playing under the pews.
00:46:25.000 That's all that matters.
00:46:27.000 That's what matters.
00:46:27.000 And that's the only thing they're doing to get in trouble.
00:46:29.000 Right, that's great!
00:46:30.000 You know, like, my son recently got in trouble because he was at CCD, and it turned out that he and his friend cut mass.
00:46:38.000 Like, they do CCD and then they have mass.
00:46:41.000 And the mom, my son's friend's mom, called and was very upset that the boys had cut mass.
00:46:46.000 And I'm thinking, like, yes, that's important.
00:46:49.000 They should not cut mass.
00:46:50.000 That's a problem.
00:46:51.000 I'm also thinking, this is great!
00:46:53.000 This is great!
00:46:54.000 Like, this is what you're doing?
00:46:55.000 You are rebelling by cutting mass?
00:46:57.000 I'm thrilled!
00:46:58.000 In Brooklyn, like, what are you doing?
00:47:00.000 You're, like, getting high on the street corner and robbing people.
00:47:02.000 Here, you're cutting masks.
00:47:03.000 This is perfect.
00:47:04.000 Big deal, yeah.
00:47:05.000 Well, I'll say this before we move on.
00:47:06.000 I hope he's not watching tonight.
00:47:09.000 I've been saying this for a while.
00:47:11.000 You know, the communists, the two things they have to be at war with all the time is a strong family unit and faith, right?
00:47:17.000 Because when you have those strong ideals in your family or in your church community, then you don't just automatically cut to the communists.
00:47:25.000 You don't say, oh, we need this collectivism to save us.
00:47:28.000 But what was it, video games or TV?
00:47:30.000 Because it was like the 90s when things started to fall apart.
00:47:32.000 Because that's when people started to go, when I started to go inward, I could play a game by myself for 10 hours alone without talking to someone.
00:47:39.000 I had books before that.
00:47:41.000 But if I ever played with toys, like Legos or micro-machines, it was way better to have a second person to play with.
00:47:47.000 A book, obviously I was always alone, and it didn't make me communist.
00:47:51.000 But video games made me very disconnected from human.
00:47:55.000 And then a lot of online games, it's not about being kind, it's about, like, talking shit online.
00:48:00.000 Well, that's what the schoolyard is, too.
00:48:02.000 The kids are talking shit.
00:48:03.000 The mid-2000s Call of Duty.
00:48:04.000 Maybe online stuff's not too bad.
00:48:06.000 Is it video games?
00:48:07.000 I don't want to blame them because I love them.
00:48:08.000 I don't think it is video games.
00:48:09.000 Why are people so disconnected?
00:48:11.000 It's in the schools.
00:48:12.000 All of the stuff, all of the socialization stuff, basically all the socialist influence that we have now.
00:48:20.000 It's all in the schools.
00:48:21.000 It started in the 80s, and that was when it first kind of took root.
00:48:26.000 Peggy McIntosh and Mr. Hapsack in 1989.
00:48:29.000 What's his name?
00:48:30.000 Paulo Freire and the pedagogy of the oppressed and stuff.
00:48:36.000 All of this stuff became the predominant way that teachers learned.
00:48:41.000 So this stuff got into the schools that teach teachers.
00:48:46.000 So that means that every teacher And then all those teachers went all over the country, so they're in Oklahoma and they're in Nebraska and Idaho.
00:48:52.000 Exactly, so these teachers are the teachers that teach the teachers, right?
00:48:55.000 So you get it at the very source.
00:48:58.000 You get them into an ideology that is based on an oppressor-oppressed dynamic, and you can apply that however you want.
00:49:08.000 You can apply it by race, you can apply it by gender, you can apply it by any way you want, but once you get that framework, Into the education of an entire generation, it just starts pumping out people that are ideologically possessed, that have the same worldview, which is, it is our job, it is government's job, it is our job, it is society's job to make things equal.
00:49:33.000 And that's why you get people that want equity, you want to have people that have equal outcomes, and that just turns into socialism.
00:49:40.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:49:41.000 We got this from Sportskeeda.
00:49:43.000 Some libs are waking up.
00:49:45.000 Internet Reacts says comic Michael Rapoport says voting for Trump is on the table after seeing migrants beat NYPD.
00:49:52.000 I just want to say this real quick.
00:49:54.000 I can't remember who tweeted it.
00:49:56.000 It might have been Michael Malice, so apologies if I don't get the attribution right.
00:50:00.000 But someone said, imagine what it must feel like to be in the corporate press.
00:50:05.000 Where after nearly a decade of calling Donald Trump a fascist, far-right, white supremacist, you find that most people in this country intend to vote for him.
00:50:15.000 I saw that.
00:50:15.000 That was Cernovich.
00:50:16.000 That wasn't Cernovich?
00:50:17.000 Maybe not.
00:50:18.000 I know what you're talking about.
00:50:20.000 So it's a great point to be made.
00:50:22.000 The power of the media narrative is gone.
00:50:25.000 They can say whatever they want about Trump.
00:50:27.000 Nobody cares.
00:50:28.000 And now you've got Michael Rapoport, who spends his time or spend his time complaining online about Big Dick Donald Trump.
00:50:35.000 That's what he would say over and over again.
00:50:37.000 And now he's made a video saying voting for him is on the table.
00:50:41.000 And it's because... It's a really fun video.
00:50:44.000 It is.
00:50:44.000 There's a bunch of issues.
00:50:45.000 But mostly, this past week...
00:50:48.000 You got illegal, you got criminal aliens beating cops.
00:50:52.000 Hold on, let me start over.
00:50:54.000 You got criminal aliens mercilessly beating NYPD.
00:50:58.000 In Midtown.
00:50:59.000 In Midtown.
00:51:00.000 And they get arrested and are released right away.
00:51:02.000 Alvin Bragg, who has charged Donald Trump with like 30-something felonies, won't even say what the felonies are, released these guys.
00:51:09.000 And he was like, oh, we couldn't tell from the video exactly who they were.
00:51:12.000 But did you see this thing, Tim?
00:51:14.000 McConnell is now saying, don't, don't, don't vote for the bill.
00:51:19.000 McConnell's saying don't vote for him.
00:51:23.000 McConnell is telling Republicans to block the Langford-Schumer borderless bill.
00:51:27.000 We'll jump to that, but let me play the Michael Rapoport video.
00:51:30.000 I don't know, is it too crude?
00:51:32.000 Oh, it's fun.
00:51:33.000 I think he's funny.
00:51:34.000 I think he's a funny guy.
00:51:35.000 This is why when I say voting for pig d*** Donald Trump is on the table.
00:51:39.000 Voting for pig d*** Donald Trump is on the table.
00:51:42.000 Wait, wait, why is he censoring Dick?
00:51:43.000 The other day in New York City, six illegal aliens Two of them, right?
00:51:50.000 Two cops.
00:51:50.000 in my P.D.'s finest.
00:51:54.000 They jumped a New York City cop in Times Square and were arrested and released without bail.
00:52:01.000 I know it's a city thing.
00:52:03.000 I know it's a state thing.
00:52:05.000 I know all that. I know all that.
00:52:07.000 I know all that.
00:52:09.000 Okay?
00:52:10.000 Released without bail.
00:52:10.000 Stay with me.
00:52:12.000 Came out of the courtroom on some Tupac, raising the middle finger with the Detroit Red Wings jerseys.
00:52:20.000 What the f*** is the world coming to?
00:52:23.000 If you could be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City, and walk out with no f***ing bail?
00:52:31.000 What the f*** is the world coming to?
00:52:33.000 Dude, he's right!
00:52:34.000 Yeah, Allen Bragg needs to be impeached.
00:52:36.000 But this is not just like some cops gotta fight.
00:52:38.000 Dude, I have seen Occupy activists push a cop and get assault on an officer charges, and they're in deep trouble.
00:52:47.000 These people, like Michael Rapaport has come from another country, assault officers, and ain't no big deal.
00:52:54.000 I said it last time I was in your show, and I'm going to say it again.
00:52:57.000 One of two things is happening here with Michael Rapaport.
00:52:59.000 Either A, the Biden campaign stopped paying him.
00:53:04.000 But we have McConnell saying not to vote for this bill and Michael Rapoport saying that voting for pig dick Donald Trump is on the table.
00:53:11.000 Maybe the adrenochrome supply has run out and these people are starting to come back to real life.
00:53:17.000 Maybe it's true.
00:53:17.000 I think that's probably the case.
00:53:19.000 Reason is not an accident.
00:53:21.000 Reasonable people are the reason this country exists in the first place.
00:53:23.000 It's definitely not adrenochrome, Ian.
00:53:25.000 It's not adrenochrome.
00:53:27.000 The reason is taking hold of these people.
00:53:29.000 This is why I said that line about, imagine what it must be like to be a corporate journalist who for a decade said Trump was a fascist white supremacist, and today, people intend on voting for the guy.
00:53:39.000 More than half the country.
00:53:40.000 That's why, you know, I love telling the story about the dude I met in DC who had Trump's Arrangement Syndrome, because, pardon me, next time I encounter something like this, I'm not gonna try and argue with the guy, give a point, I'm just gonna say, I'm on the right side of history.
00:53:51.000 That's what I'm gonna say to him.
00:53:51.000 I'm gonna say, I'm on the right side of history, you're on the wrong side of history, We got, we got the polls.
00:53:57.000 So you're in the weird minority of weirdos who don't watch the news.
00:53:59.000 I don't know what you're going on about.
00:54:01.000 If people- Michael Rapoport?
00:54:02.000 If he's saying it, wow, we won.
00:54:04.000 Think about, think, yeah, like, I mean, to Tim's point, like, think about how many people, like, when they get into the voting booth and they're, you know, they've got their, you know, they're alone, they'll actually vote for Donald Trump, right?
00:54:16.000 They would never admit it, but when they actually got into the booth, they'd actually check for Donald Trump.
00:54:21.000 If people like, you know, Like this guy, are making, articulating that it's acceptable to conceive of yourself voting for Donald Trump.
00:54:32.000 I feel like there's probably a lot of people that this gives them permission.
00:54:37.000 You know what I mean?
00:54:38.000 People that don't feel confident.
00:54:39.000 This gives them permission to vote for Trump.
00:54:40.000 Exactly.
00:54:41.000 They feel like, now I can, someone else said it, I can do this.
00:54:44.000 And he noticed too, it's not just me, I'm not crazy.
00:54:48.000 Maybe Donald Trump, that's what I think a lot of people think.
00:54:51.000 So the next time I'm at a poker table and some guy with Trump Derangement Syndrome starts yelling at me, I'm just gonna go, Listen, I'm gonna tell you why voting for pig dick Donald Trump is on the table!
00:55:00.000 Because New York City's finest were beat up!
00:55:03.000 Uh, let's play the rest of the video.
00:55:07.000 I know, Mayor Adams, you're from Brownsville, Brooklyn.
00:55:11.000 I know this bull****.
00:55:12.000 What the **** have I gotten myself into?
00:55:15.000 Stay with me.
00:55:17.000 On the same day that that happens, Cadaver Joe Biden issues an executive order
00:55:23.000 about four **** quote unquote settlers in Judea, Samaria, AKA.
00:55:30.000 the West Bank, some troublemakers, three of the four have already been arrested.
00:55:34.000 You issue an executive order about four troublemaking f**k-ups who've already been arrested in Judea, Samaria, while there's a war going on, while there's 100-plus hostages still being held in Gaza.
00:55:51.000 You're talking about that, but you got nothing to say about m*****s Beating up cops in New York City, the greatest city on earth?
00:55:59.000 Maybe it's not.
00:56:00.000 Maybe my city is not the greatest city on earth anymore.
00:56:06.000 Here's the important thing.
00:56:07.000 He's wearing a Star of David.
00:56:08.000 One of the things that really shifted Rappaport was the Israel-Hamas conflict.
00:56:14.000 And when he's coming out and being like, why is Joe Biden more concerned with the West Bank instead of our cops?
00:56:22.000 That's like, holy crap.
00:56:24.000 The first thing that came out was, what's going on with these activists who are anti-Israel?
00:56:28.000 Now he's actually like, yeah I care about Israel, but this year's more important.
00:56:33.000 He's being pushed further and further.
00:56:34.000 I want to give him a shout out.
00:56:36.000 Last time we talked about him, he has that really funny video where he gets hit in the head with a snowball.
00:56:40.000 The funniest video online, yeah.
00:56:41.000 I know, it's one of the best.
00:56:42.000 Because he's self-aware.
00:56:43.000 I think he's a funny guy, and I respect it.
00:56:45.000 What if the whole thing was just a troll?
00:56:46.000 It was.
00:56:47.000 The video of him getting hit with a snowball?
00:56:48.000 No, I mean prior to that.
00:56:50.000 All the shit about him, you know, hating the right and big dick Donald Trump and all that.
00:56:54.000 What if it was all just a big, giant con?
00:56:55.000 It would be great if he just came out really calm, like, I just want to say to everybody that I never really hated Trump, I just thought it was funny to yell and make fun of him, and I'm voting for him, and thank you so much, and he puts on a MAGA hat.
00:57:07.000 After this video, I'm almost positive that they took his bag away.
00:57:11.000 He's not getting money from the Biden campaign anymore, for sure.
00:57:14.000 But yeah, one of the big points, takeaways of this was he's actually mad that Joe Biden focused too much on Israel.
00:57:22.000 That's the crazy thing.
00:57:22.000 You guys hear about Biden saying Netanyahu is a bad dude or whatever?
00:57:27.000 He's trying to win these votes back.
00:57:27.000 Yeah.
00:57:29.000 Yeah, I think that was clearly leaked just to try and appease the progressive left and get them back on it.
00:57:35.000 See, I think Netanyahu's not amazing too, you guys, right?
00:57:38.000 We're all on the same team still, you know?
00:57:40.000 He's a bad dude!
00:57:41.000 Come on, man!
00:57:42.000 Run some bad boys.
00:57:43.000 But I think that was such an obvious, dumb leak, purposeful.
00:57:49.000 I think once you've won over Michael Rapaport.
00:57:54.000 It's a good point you were saying, Phil, about giving permission.
00:57:57.000 Because I made the joke about being at the table and saying, you know, next time in public I'll say something like that.
00:58:01.000 But I guarantee there's probably a lot of guys who are default liberal, don't pay that much attention, but have been given permission.
00:58:07.000 Now they can still insult Trump.
00:58:09.000 But they can be like, yeah, pig dick Donald Trump, you know, but I gotta be honest, man.
00:58:14.000 I got my vote for him because dude like Joe Biden and he's a cadaver, you know what I mean?
00:58:20.000 They're not going to be able to put Joe Biden up in this in this election.
00:58:23.000 Something's going to change soon.
00:58:24.000 What if they give him?
00:58:25.000 I mean, who would they put up instead?
00:58:26.000 Everybody hates Kamala.
00:58:28.000 Yeah.
00:58:28.000 And she only has one phrase.
00:58:30.000 You know who it is?
00:58:31.000 It's going to be the Antichrist Newsome from California.
00:58:35.000 There's got to be a way to get around Kamala though.
00:58:39.000 And Kamala is literally kryptonite to a white male progressive.
00:58:43.000 What is he going to say?
00:58:45.000 Really, but she makes absolutely no sense.
00:58:47.000 It doesn't matter.
00:58:49.000 It does not matter.
00:58:51.000 Everyone knows that she is like the worst, absolute worst person the Democrats could possibly field, but at the same time, they can't do anything with her.
00:59:02.000 They can't attack her.
00:59:04.000 She's the first woman, She's multiracial.
00:59:09.000 She is untouchable.
00:59:12.000 And if you do, she absolutely will turn it on you and call you, you're the racist, you're the blah blah blah.
00:59:19.000 She will use that at the drop of a hat.
00:59:22.000 I don't think anybody cares about being called a racist anymore.
00:59:27.000 Kamala Harris withheld evidence when she worked in San Francisco.
00:59:30.000 She withheld evidence that kept somebody on death row that she knew was innocent.
00:59:34.000 There's like a lot of black progressives who hate Kamala Harris because she locked up more black people.
00:59:39.000 Oh way more blah blah blah. You know, based on like, crap evidence. But she also withheld, withheld, purposely withheld
00:59:44.000 evidence knowing that somebody was innocent to keep him on death row.
00:59:47.000 None of that matters. And none of that matters to the left at all. I don't even think that she has
00:59:51.000 the ability to see what can be, never mind being unburdened by what might have been. I
00:59:54.000 believe it's going to be Newsom, I do, I really believe that he's going to do something crazy. I
00:59:58.000 just, tell me how they get in, how How do they how do they get her out of the way?
01:00:03.000 Tell me how they do it and maybe because I don't think that Newsom like I think that Newsom is far more of a threat to not only to the United States, but to the to like Donald Trump into Republicans, but how do you get him into the position to run?
01:00:19.000 Well, you'd have to get her to resign, but she's power-hungry.
01:00:22.000 She only had 3% of the vote when she was running on the Democratic ticket, when she was trying to get that ticket.
01:00:29.000 Like I said, I don't think that Kamala Harris is good, but I just don't see the path to get her into the position.
01:00:39.000 Yeah.
01:00:41.000 We'll jump to the story from CBS News.
01:00:42.000 Oh boy.
01:00:43.000 RFK Jr.
01:00:44.000 mulls running for president as libertarian as he struggles with ballot access.
01:00:50.000 Tell him he has to get nude to do it.
01:00:52.000 I will say this.
01:00:54.000 I have heard some people who are libertarian party members associated with the Mises caucus Nothing from high up, just mutterings from regular folks that this is their big push and they really do want this.
01:01:07.000 I'm curious, is it true and what's going on?
01:01:09.000 Yeah, I believe it is.
01:01:10.000 I believe they do want it.
01:01:11.000 Whether they want him to get the nomination or not, they definitely want him to jump in and shake up the election.
01:01:15.000 There's no doubt about it.
01:01:16.000 I've seen grumblings from several people in the Mises caucus, including my good friend.
01:01:21.000 I just made a five minute video about this that I put out in public, so it's not like I'm saying anything that I haven't said.
01:01:26.000 I think that Heiss and Angela, the chair of the Libertarian Party, as well, we've seen her make comments that show support for an RFK Libertarian run.
01:01:34.000 And the problem is I don't think RFK can get our delegates to vote for him and make him an MP.
01:01:40.000 He's not a Libertarian.
01:01:40.000 Well, he's terrible on every issue except for one.
01:01:42.000 I mean, really, he's been… What's the one good issue?
01:01:45.000 The healthcare freedom stuff.
01:01:46.000 I mean, the guys… Healthcare freedom.
01:01:47.000 Yeah, he's a medical malpractice lawyer.
01:01:49.000 I mean, that's what he does, right?
01:01:50.000 So, like, he came from, you know, litigating these really high-profile medical malpractice cases, and so, like, of course libertarians are like, yeah, healthcare freedom!
01:01:59.000 But he's like the Homer Simpson meme with all the fat pinned up behind him, you know, where it's like, and socialist monetary policies, and he's an eco-fascist, and he hates guns, and it's like... And he wants to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day.
01:02:10.000 You know, and he said directly, you know, if the House were to bring him a bill banning the Second Amendment, he'd be happy to sign it.
01:02:17.000 He said that.
01:02:18.000 How did that come out?
01:02:19.000 He publicly has said that.
01:02:22.000 He's been anti-gum forever.
01:02:23.000 Listen, this guy's an old school progressive.
01:02:26.000 I mean, not progressive.
01:02:27.000 He's an old school Kennedy Democrat.
01:02:29.000 He's good on a couple of things.
01:02:30.000 He does hate the deep state.
01:02:33.000 I don't believe that he knows what the deep state is.
01:02:35.000 When did he say that?
01:02:36.000 Sign a bill.
01:02:36.000 I'm trying.
01:02:38.000 I've seen it a billion times though.
01:02:40.000 Let's see.
01:02:41.000 Look up Kennedy.
01:02:43.000 I'd be happy to sign Second Amendment.
01:02:46.000 You know, considering the performance that he just had on Dave Smith's podcast.
01:02:50.000 Three months ago.
01:02:51.000 Vows to respect Second Amendment and not take it.
01:02:54.000 You know, yada yada.
01:02:55.000 Gun control cannot meaningfully reduce gun violence.
01:02:58.000 Comes out against gun control in June.
01:03:00.000 All of them are basically anti-gun control.
01:03:02.000 But he is a liberal on them.
01:03:04.000 I mean, I suppose the issue is, if he said years ago something like that, it's important to bring that up.
01:03:09.000 Well, he's been saying that stuff for a long time.
01:03:11.000 Right, it's important to bring that up.
01:03:12.000 And now that he's running and he knows it's not a popular issue with moderates, he's evolving on the issue.
01:03:18.000 Well, yeah, you know, he's going to say whatever he wants to say to get elected.
01:03:22.000 But what the problem is, is here, he didn't understand what running as an independent would be like as far as ballot access goes, right?
01:03:28.000 We're talking $100 million to get ballot access across the country.
01:03:31.000 As a Libertarian party, we spend $2 million a year fighting for ballot access in like three or four states.
01:03:36.000 And we are a pretty established party as far as third parties go.
01:03:39.000 We're the third largest party in the United States.
01:03:42.000 We're the fastest growing party in the United States.
01:03:44.000 And he didn't realize like, oh, this ballot access stuff is really, really hard.
01:03:48.000 And so he could come over and get ballot access with the Libertarians.
01:03:51.000 But the problem is he doesn't share any of our values at all.
01:03:54.000 And Libertarians are very staunch about their values.
01:03:56.000 There's one state you guys don't have?
01:03:58.000 You don't have New York?
01:03:58.000 New York.
01:03:59.000 Yeah.
01:04:00.000 Why?
01:04:00.000 Wow.
01:04:00.000 How?
01:04:01.000 Uh, so Larry Sharp actually ran as governor and got the required amount to get us ballot access there, and the legislature went and changed the rules after that and took us off ballot.
01:04:11.000 Wow.
01:04:11.000 Oh, that's low.
01:04:12.000 That's what they do.
01:04:12.000 Wow.
01:04:12.000 That's New York.
01:04:13.000 Yeah.
01:04:13.000 So the Libertarian candidate for president's not going to even be on the ballot in New York?
01:04:18.000 There's a possibility.
01:04:18.000 We can't.
01:04:20.000 It's likely to cost us about $300,000 or more.
01:04:23.000 That we should raise that money.
01:04:25.000 Larry Sharpe's running a whole campaign to raise money.
01:04:25.000 We're working.
01:04:28.000 You need to raise how much?
01:04:29.000 I think it's like $300,000 or $400,000.
01:04:30.000 That's a lot of money.
01:04:31.000 But there's also caps on how much you can give, right?
01:04:33.000 Right, exactly.
01:04:34.000 But it's not to a politician.
01:04:35.000 It's a political party, though.
01:04:36.000 Yeah, I think a PAC you can donate a lot more than just to, like, there's 33, like, for a federal campaign right now there's 3,300.
01:04:44.000 Individual donor cap right now, but I think with a pack and stuff like that Which I think they're working with you can donate a lot more money to them But yeah It's a lot of money and and it's a lot of work and they need petitioners and they have to get out and get like they change the the amount of petition sign that you need to like some ungodly amount so And they don't have a whole hell of a lot of time to get it done.
01:05:04.000 Yeah, so it looks like Let's see there might be the party committee state district and local unlimited And, uh, National Committee, it's unlimited.
01:05:16.000 Yeah, that makes sense.
01:05:17.000 If it's our National Committee, you can just... I mean, we had people donate, like, a house and stuff.
01:05:21.000 I mean, you can donate... But I mean, if the Libertarian Party only needs $300,000 to get on ballot access... Not doing great financially right now.
01:05:29.000 That's actually surprising to me that the Libertarian could not muster.
01:05:31.000 I mean, how many Bitcoin Kripos have enough money?
01:05:34.000 Well, here's the thing.
01:05:34.000 The Libertarian Party's been existing on like $1.7 million a year budget for a decade.
01:05:39.000 So it's not like it's a ton of money.
01:05:40.000 Was it bigger before a decade ago?
01:05:42.000 No.
01:05:43.000 I think the biggest we ever were were in 2000 when Harry Brown was the candidate.
01:05:47.000 And he actually doubled the size of the party membership.
01:05:51.000 I don't know that that meant that we had more money.
01:05:54.000 Oh, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
01:05:55.000 An individual can only give the party $10,000 per year.
01:05:58.000 Right.
01:05:58.000 $10,000, yeah.
01:05:59.000 I was reading it wrong.
01:06:00.000 Yeah, for individuals.
01:06:02.000 And then PACs can give, like, way more money.
01:06:03.000 Oh, no, no, no.
01:06:04.000 Sorry.
01:06:04.000 It's $41,300.
01:06:07.000 How many times are you going to read this wrong?
01:06:08.000 Individuals.
01:06:09.000 I sat on the National Committee for two terms.
01:06:12.000 To the National Party Committee, it's 41,300.
01:06:14.000 I think it used to be 30, now that I'm thinking of it, I think it used to be like 35, 60, but they've upped the cap on these things.
01:06:20.000 They did for the presidential election, too.
01:06:22.000 It used to be like 27 or something.
01:06:25.000 Now it's 3,300 that an individual can give.
01:06:27.000 Where do people donate to the party?
01:06:29.000 LP.org.
01:06:31.000 How many petitions do you need to get in New York?
01:06:33.000 I don't know.
01:06:34.000 Larry Sharp is the man that would know that.
01:06:34.000 I don't know.
01:06:36.000 Yeah, I think we've had him on a couple times.
01:06:36.000 He's running the whole thing.
01:06:37.000 Yeah, Larry's been here, and he's been a Rogan and stuff too.
01:06:40.000 He's running for governor, right?
01:06:41.000 He did.
01:06:42.000 He's not running for governor currently, and I've been trying to get him to jump in the race to run for VP, but now Clint has announced that he's running for VP, so that's my guy.
01:06:50.000 Clint Russell, ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:51.000 Clint Russell is running to be VP for the Libertarian Party?
01:06:54.000 Who do you think's actually gonna get it?
01:06:55.000 Well, I mean, you want it.
01:06:56.000 I want the... No, I'm running for president.
01:06:58.000 Right, that's what I mean.
01:06:59.000 I mean, I want Clint to be my vice presidential candidate.
01:07:01.000 Okay, right on.
01:07:01.000 There's no doubt about it.
01:07:02.000 Who do you think's gonna get it?
01:07:05.000 Right now, there's... It's like kind of a four-way... I shouldn't ask you that way.
01:07:08.000 Yeah.
01:07:08.000 I should ask you, who's the frontrunner?
01:07:10.000 Who's the frontrunner?
01:07:11.000 Yeah, it's me, Chase Oliver, who's kind of like the left-leaning social progressive libertarian, but he has some good policies too, but he's like, That's interesting.
01:07:19.000 who always talks about LGBTQ rights and stuff like that.
01:07:22.000 There's also Lars Mapstead, who actually founded Adult Friend Finder.
01:07:26.000 So he actually helped create this terrible OnlyFans culture that you see in America today.
01:07:31.000 So he's the loaded candidate. He's got millions of dollars.
01:07:33.000 And then, of course, Michael Recktenwald, who you've had on the show as well as the main guy.
01:07:36.000 Yeah, that's interesting. I've been asked about Recktenwald a lot
01:07:39.000 by a lot of people I meet outside, like just out in the streets or whatever,
01:07:43.000 we're libertarians. They'll be like, oh, what was Recktenwald like?
01:07:46.000 And I'm just, you know, I don't know.
01:07:47.000 But I find that interesting.
01:07:48.000 It seems like he's got the name recognition.
01:07:50.000 He's, uh, I don't, I mean, I don't see it.
01:07:52.000 He's only raised, he only raised $20,000 in the last quarter.
01:07:55.000 So it's not like he's getting, like, a ton of play.
01:07:57.000 Have you announced?
01:07:57.000 What about you?
01:07:58.000 A little bit less than that.
01:07:59.000 Oh, okay.
01:08:00.000 Do you do crowdfunding?
01:08:01.000 Uh, yeah, I mean, we're raising money at joshuasmith2024.com.
01:08:04.000 Man, it's, it's, it's kind of wild how successful the, uh, Libertarian Party is despite its, like, It's a shoestring budget.
01:08:10.000 It's a shoestring budget.
01:08:11.000 And they put it together and worked really hard.
01:08:11.000 Yeah.
01:08:13.000 And it is the fastest growing party in the country.
01:08:15.000 And I think that, you know, we're not going to win the presidency in 2024.
01:08:18.000 I talk about that all the time.
01:08:19.000 Not with that attitude.
01:08:20.000 No, but anybody, any libertarian candidate is like, we're going to win the presidency in 2024 is just lying to themselves, really.
01:08:26.000 I mean, but we do have the opportunity to, you know, With RFK Jr., though, he gets you past a certain threshold.
01:08:33.000 We talk a lot about this 5% threshold, which I actually found out means minor party status.
01:08:38.000 It's like 15% to get into the debates.
01:08:40.000 Of course, if we poll at 15 in any of the major polls, they have to put us on the debate stage.
01:08:44.000 That's what I want.
01:08:45.000 That's my biggest goal.
01:08:46.000 And that would be like in the general?
01:08:47.000 Just polling to the general, not even in the general election.
01:08:50.000 So if we polled at 15%, there's a requirement for the debate commission.
01:08:54.000 To allow that party to debate.
01:08:55.000 So we would get on the stage with, you know, whether it's Trump or Biden or Trump or Newsome, you'd have a libertarian up there saying, all right, these things.
01:09:01.000 That would be RFK Jr.
01:09:03.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:09:04.000 An RFK Jr.
01:09:06.000 Dave Smith VP ticket.
01:09:08.000 Would you be VP for RFK Jr.?
01:09:10.000 I'm not going to do it.
01:09:10.000 No.
01:09:12.000 It would be too much of a conflict for me.
01:09:14.000 See, here's the issue I see with it.
01:09:16.000 If the idea is you know you're not going to win, why wouldn't you just take an RFK Jr.
01:09:21.000 candidacy and just get the numbers?
01:09:22.000 Because then we fool everybody about what the Libertarian Party is about.
01:09:26.000 We saw this with Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.
01:09:27.000 Bill Weld sat on the board of CFR, right?
01:09:29.000 I mean, this guy was terrible on nuclear energy.
01:09:32.000 He was terrible on all kinds of stuff that Libertarians support.
01:09:35.000 And so him and Gary Johnson went out and they talked about, well, there should be some minor restrictions on the two way.
01:09:40.000 And Hillary Clinton's really a great service, public service and this and that.
01:09:44.000 And so we got this like huge influx of membership for Gary Johnson that all ended up being like the left leftist, like social progressive libertarians.
01:09:53.000 And once they realized that, hey, that's not really what the party stood for, they left.
01:09:56.000 The social progressive libertarians probably have the worst to offer, because they're just the Democrats with no freebies.
01:10:06.000 They're the Democrats who like guns.
01:10:09.000 You can get guns out of them and they're going to end all your entitlements.
01:10:14.000 Respect my pronouns.
01:10:16.000 No welfare.
01:10:16.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:10:18.000 It's all of the bad things about the Democrats, but you get guns and you get, you know, a bunch of freebies.
01:10:24.000 Well, and the problem is that these guys are like, well, we want to, you know, and Jacob Hornberger, who is running but has totally destroyed his campaign, talks about this all the time.
01:10:33.000 Like, those guys just want to like, oh, well, Social Security, we just want to make a little cut here and the tax, you know, we want a fair tax and we want to do that.
01:10:40.000 It's not like they're not looking to try and roll back these systems.
01:10:43.000 They're looking to like take little cuts out and that's not good for us either because
01:10:47.000 then people show up and they're like, oh man, you guys want to, you guys are like two way
01:10:50.000 absolutists and you want to get rid of social security for the younger generations and everybody's
01:10:55.000 like, well, what's going on here?
01:10:56.000 You know?
01:10:57.000 And so it's, it's bad for the party to have somebody like RFK in my opinion, but to the,
01:11:01.000 to the, to the upper brass on the LNC and some of these people, of course they want
01:11:05.000 it because they want the money.
01:11:06.000 They want the donor list.
01:11:07.000 RFK might have no choice.
01:11:08.000 He's horrible.
01:11:09.000 Well, and he may not get on the ballot.
01:11:10.000 He's not going to be on the ballot in probably 35 states.
01:11:13.000 If he really does, I mean, it's crazy how the Democrats just nuked his campaign.
01:11:17.000 Well, they had to.
01:11:18.000 They also, you know, may have shot his uncle.
01:11:21.000 You think he was going to win?
01:11:22.000 And his dad.
01:11:25.000 And his dad, too!
01:11:27.000 I was gonna say, like his uncle.
01:11:29.000 So he should be happy all they did was nuke his campaign, really, but no, it's the truth.
01:11:33.000 They may have shot his dad.
01:11:35.000 And his uncle.
01:11:35.000 Yeah, the truth is that he's probably, as an independent, he's not gonna be on the ballot in like 30-something states, and he doesn't have the kind of money to buy the ballot access.
01:11:44.000 But if he's libertarian, he automatically gets all the ballot access.
01:11:46.000 Any ballot access that we have as a party, if he gets the nomination in May, he automatically gets our ballot access.
01:11:50.000 Which is everything but New York at the moment.
01:11:52.000 I think there's one other state that we're working on, but we're going to get it.
01:11:54.000 I knew we were working on Maine, but we've got Maine now.
01:11:56.000 We hit the threshold.
01:11:58.000 I feel like he'd come in, raise a bunch of money, get it on this ballot in every state, get 8 to 15% of the vote.
01:12:04.000 I mean, he's really popular.
01:12:05.000 Yeah.
01:12:08.000 Everyone leaves the party the next year.
01:12:13.000 I don't think the people who are in the Libertarian Party are morons.
01:12:17.000 You're giving the Libertarian Party a lot of credit.
01:12:20.000 I'm talking about the Mises Caucus.
01:12:23.000 If you've got social progressives, weirdo libertarians, your party's fractured and busted up.
01:12:27.000 We've gotten rid of a lot of them.
01:12:29.000 A lot of them have left.
01:12:31.000 Basically, if the Mises Caucus has taken over, And everyone kind of gets it.
01:12:37.000 And at the convention, everyone's like, look, this is not a representation of true libertarian values, but it is an alliance between an independent and a third party that are trying to sh- Democrat, he's a Democrat.
01:12:51.000 Even though he's not a Democrat, he's a Democrat.
01:12:53.000 But you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, come on, you gotta compromise a little bit.
01:12:56.000 He's an independent, running right now, who's shut out from the mainstream, who has an opportunity to team up with third party, and both are trying to smash through the front gates of the establishment.
01:12:56.000 It sucks.
01:13:08.000 Sure.
01:13:09.000 So, I see, I understand, you might say, he's bad, but if we combine, you know, with our powers combined, we're on the debate stage.
01:13:16.000 In your third party, Tim, whatever third party, this non-existent third party that I'm making up currently that you run, Hillary Clinton comes to you.
01:13:26.000 No, Hillary Clinton's the establishment with all the power, and she's in position.
01:13:30.000 Sure, but your party needs money, you need donors, you guys have to compromise.
01:13:35.000 Wrong analogy.
01:13:36.000 It's the same policies.
01:13:37.000 It's the same policies though.
01:13:41.000 RFK is not Hillary Clinton, come on.
01:13:43.000 Same policies.
01:13:44.000 I mean the policies are almost indiscernible.
01:13:46.000 He's an eco-fascist, he wants to shut down businesses that refuse to go to war.
01:13:49.000 He wants to go to war with Russia?
01:13:50.000 Well, he wants to go to war in the Middle East, for sure.
01:13:52.000 RFK Jr.
01:13:53.000 wants to go to war.
01:13:53.000 He's been talking about it.
01:13:54.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:13:55.000 Look it up.
01:13:56.000 Let's pull it up.
01:13:56.000 He's changed his stance on the warfare stuff so much over the last six months, especially since October 7th, right?
01:14:01.000 Like, big time, big time.
01:14:02.000 So, yeah, man, I mean, he's not great on these things anymore.
01:14:07.000 Ecofascism is pretty easy to turn people on if you make them aware of being able to reuse the carbon.
01:14:12.000 It's so reusable.
01:14:13.000 This guy has specifically said he wants businesses shut down that don't go along with the climate agenda.
01:14:19.000 He's bad on everything.
01:14:20.000 He's bad on everything. He's saying that we should withdraw from the Middle East to come back to America to start
01:14:25.000 working on America.
01:14:25.000 What date is that?
01:14:26.000 His website right now.
01:14:27.000 Okay, that's not what he's been saying in the media though.
01:14:30.000 Well, look, my point is simply this.
01:14:31.000 Like, it is not fair to compare RFK Jr. to Hillary, despite the fact we can agree that RFK Jr. has bad policies
01:14:38.000 across the board.
01:14:38.000 Okay.
01:14:39.000 Hillary Clinton is a...
01:14:41.000 I'm trying to think that's anybody else.
01:14:43.000 Hillary Clinton is literally voting for the bureaucracy.
01:14:48.000 The problem is that this person holds none of our values.
01:14:51.000 No.
01:14:51.000 Right?
01:14:52.000 And so we're going to put him in... Cenk Uygur!
01:14:54.000 No, absolutely not.
01:14:56.000 If I had a political party, and Cenk Uygur came to me and said, look, you've got a lot of people who are behind you when we get the poll numbers.
01:15:03.000 I've got a lot of people behind me.
01:15:04.000 If we came together and everyone who was between the two of us knew the point of this was to just drive a car straight through those front gates, and this means y'all are on the debate stage next year, I would say yes.
01:15:16.000 I actually said, if it came down to Mitt Romney versus Hillary Clinton, and Cenk Uygur was there, I'd vote for Cenk.
01:15:24.000 Why?
01:15:25.000 At least he'll pardon Julian Assange, I guess.
01:15:28.000 What am I supposed to expect with the two of the Uniparty establishment?
01:15:31.000 I'm not saying I like his policies at all.
01:15:33.000 I think the dude's actually fairly crazy.
01:15:35.000 And he's not an American citizen.
01:15:36.000 My point is simply, look man, people come to me and they say, Trump did this bad thing and this bad thing, and I'm sitting here just whistling and being like, no, no worse.
01:15:44.000 And they're like, yeah, but what about this bad thing and this bad thing?
01:15:46.000 And I'm like, yo, this country has been riddled with such bad things from bad people for so long.
01:15:50.000 And then I'll tell you this.
01:15:52.000 If somebody comes to me and they're like, I'm running for office.
01:15:55.000 And what are you going to do?
01:15:56.000 I'm going to, I'm going to clean up the streets.
01:15:57.000 I'm going to clean up crime.
01:15:58.000 I'm going to restore America, make it really, really great.
01:16:00.000 I'll be like, that sounds pretty good.
01:16:01.000 What else are you going to do?
01:16:02.000 I'm going to go bomb foreign countries.
01:16:03.000 Sorry.
01:16:04.000 I'm not voting for you.
01:16:04.000 Have a nice day.
01:16:05.000 You can, you can talk about securing the board.
01:16:06.000 You can talk about bringing jobs back.
01:16:08.000 And then you say, but we got to intervene in the Middle East.
01:16:10.000 And I say, I'm out.
01:16:11.000 Because I know what that leads to in terms of inflation, what it leads to in terms of death, blowback, conflict, crisis, all of this stuff, and I've witnessed some of it.
01:16:20.000 You get Donald Trump, he could literally come out and be like, I don't care about anything domestically, I don't care about any American, I don't care about you, I only care about me, but I won't go to war.
01:16:29.000 I'll be like, okay, I'll take it.
01:16:31.000 Military command, man, that's their number one job.
01:16:34.000 So when I get these people saying to me, like this guy the other day, and he's saying all this stuff about how bad Trump is, and he's a liar, and I love it.
01:16:44.000 He said, every business Trump has ever had has gone bankrupt.
01:16:47.000 And I'm just like, well, that's just literally not true.
01:16:49.000 But I'm like, I don't care.
01:16:50.000 I don't care if the dude was in an alley slinging dope.
01:16:54.000 I'm like, no new wars!
01:16:56.000 You know, let's deal with our problems internally, and we'll have to.
01:16:59.000 So long story short, If... And I understand your position, I'm not telling you you're wrong, I'm saying like, for me, I see the point where it's like...
01:17:08.000 I see RFK Jr.
01:17:09.000 as a guy who's wrong, but I see him as a good dude.
01:17:12.000 He's just wrong.
01:17:13.000 Marianne Williamson is a good person.
01:17:15.000 She's just wrong.
01:17:16.000 And if we could team up and fundamentally change the two-party environment we've had for generations, I mean, that is a grand slam.
01:17:24.000 Well, then, listen, great with Robert Kennedy, but why not any other libertarian candidates, right?
01:17:24.000 Sure.
01:17:29.000 Like, you have a giant platform, right, and other people have big platforms, and you're all sick of the wars.
01:17:34.000 Who's polling at his numbers?
01:17:37.000 They could be.
01:17:38.000 Anybody could be if they got the visibility that he's had, right?
01:17:41.000 And this is the point.
01:17:42.000 He's a Kennedy.
01:17:43.000 He's a Kennedy.
01:17:43.000 Yeah, but he's got visibility.
01:17:44.000 People know who he is, right?
01:17:45.000 He's got the name recognition.
01:17:47.000 He's got the visibility.
01:17:48.000 And so this is the point.
01:17:50.000 The Libertarian Party needs a boost.
01:17:52.000 Here's a guy who was booted from the Democratic Party and cold-shouldered trying to court independents.
01:17:58.000 I'm not saying the Libertarian Party should bring him on.
01:17:59.000 I'm saying I see the case for, let's fund the mental health change system.
01:18:02.000 Oh sure, I see the case too.
01:18:03.000 I understand the case.
01:18:04.000 I think the case is wrong.
01:18:06.000 And I don't think the delegates are going to put him in that place.
01:18:08.000 And I agree with that on that.
01:18:10.000 I don't want to tell Libertarians they should vote for him.
01:18:11.000 Compromise though, it's a big part of politics, is compromising.
01:18:15.000 With the enemy.
01:18:16.000 Have you ever met a Libertarian?
01:18:17.000 It's gotten us to be the most powerful country on earth.
01:18:19.000 Have you ever met a Libertarian?
01:18:21.000 Have you ever met a Libertarian and spoken to them?
01:18:24.000 Compromise?
01:18:26.000 Libertarians are known for their purity tests.
01:18:30.000 If you accept the existence of the post office, you will be excommunicated from the Libertarian party.
01:18:38.000 Do not test them, Ian!
01:18:40.000 Do not test them!
01:18:42.000 Can we just real quick?
01:18:43.000 We should say that compromise has gotten us to where we are today.
01:18:47.000 Well, the United States...
01:18:48.000 Can we just show Ian this meme?
01:18:49.000 The compromise of all 50 states.
01:18:51.000 So this is a meme from the Simpsons, and it's Edna, Krabappel, Skinner, and Willie.
01:18:57.000 And he says, brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like progressives and libertarians, or communists and
01:19:02.000 libertarians, or ANCAPs and libertarians, or libertarians and other
01:19:06.000 libertarians.
01:19:06.000 They ruined... Damn libertarians, they ruined libertarianism.
01:19:10.000 And then Skinner says, you libertarians sure are a contentious people.
01:19:13.000 You've just made an enemy for life.
01:19:14.000 That's libertarianism.
01:19:15.000 Pretty much it, yeah.
01:19:16.000 That's how it is.
01:19:17.000 Nobody hates libertarians more than other libertarians.
01:19:18.000 That's right.
01:19:19.000 It's the very truth of our existence.
01:19:21.000 I just love that story about when they asked about whether or not
01:19:27.000 you should be able to sell heroin to children.
01:19:30.000 And I think was it Gary Johnson said no, and they booed him?
01:19:32.000 Yeah.
01:19:33.000 Yeah, that was so that was in 2016 they when they had this this huge caucus in the party called the audacious caucus and they were like all super like offensive Not even in caps like leftists really and and so, you know, the party's changed a lot We got we got rid of the the abortion plank.
01:19:54.000 So there's no more like room for Error there and then you got guys like me who are running who I consider myself in America first populous libertarian candidate, right?
01:19:54.000 They kicked that out.
01:20:02.000 Like I don't I don't believe in open borders.
01:20:05.000 I don't believe an abortion.
01:20:06.000 I know that I know that we've had this debate on the show several times, but I don't believe that you should be able to sell heroin to five-year-olds.
01:20:12.000 I don't believe that doctors should be able to force push kids towards like mutilative surgeries and stuff like that.
01:20:17.000 I think they should be prosecuted.
01:20:19.000 But I also believe that the Federal Reserve has destroyed the economy and the Warfare State has done nothing good for any Americans and These entitlement programs are destroying us and, you know, so... Was it Austin Peterson who said it?
01:20:30.000 Yeah, it was Austin Peterson.
01:20:31.000 Okay, wait.
01:20:32.000 I just googled it.
01:20:33.000 C-SPAN's got the clip.
01:20:34.000 China has no constitutional authority to regulate drugs.
01:20:34.000 Of course it did.
01:20:37.000 That being said, at the state level, I would support some legislation that would stop children from being allowed to purchase drugs and prosecute anyone who would put a child in danger because I do believe that children do need some protection.
01:20:48.000 Yes, you should not be able to sell heroin to a five-year-old.
01:20:50.000 I'm sorry.
01:20:51.000 I'm sorry.
01:20:58.000 In my opinion, Austin was by far the best candidate that year, too.
01:21:01.000 He was close.
01:21:02.000 It wasn't far off in the vote.
01:21:04.000 I think you need compromise.
01:21:05.000 It's politics.
01:21:08.000 I'm an idealist in my soul, but in reality, I'm more of a compromist.
01:21:14.000 I'm down to do things I don't want to do to get by.
01:21:18.000 We're past that, bro.
01:21:19.000 And so, you know, I was talking to this guy the other day.
01:21:23.000 He said that the Libertarian Party isn't libertarian enough.
01:21:27.000 And I was like, well, what, what do you mean?
01:21:29.000 I was like, it's Austin Peterson got booed when he said, you know, he'd prosecute people selling heroin to kids.
01:21:35.000 And he was like, and he looks at me and he goes, abortion.
01:21:38.000 And I was like, yeah, I think the Mises Caucus are fairly pro-life, right?
01:21:41.000 Is that true, Josh?
01:21:43.000 Yeah.
01:21:43.000 The Mises Caucus?
01:21:44.000 I think there's a bit of a split there, but for the most part, it's pro-life.
01:21:48.000 Like Davis.
01:21:49.000 Yeah, and I'm pro-life, and I think Keis is probably pro-life, and a lot of these people.
01:21:52.000 But there are still some people who, you know, think there's a good faith effort on both sides of the debate, and this and that.
01:21:58.000 You say good faith debate.
01:21:59.000 Go ahead.
01:22:02.000 I would say that I am not in the pro-life camp, but I certainly do not believe there's a good faith debate with the left on abortion.
01:22:09.000 I think there's not a good faith debate in a lot of areas, yeah.
01:22:12.000 There's a good faith debate with people like me and people like you, or, you know, I really think it was a great conversation I had with Glenn Beck on the issue, which I've probably evolved quite a bit on it since then, probably moved a little bit further to the right on it a great deal, because I have a libertarian stance on the issue of the 14th Amendment.
01:22:30.000 And my position on abortion is actually just libertarian.
01:22:33.000 At what point does the government have the right to determine someone must provide their body to someone else?
01:22:37.000 And I, you know, I don't want to get into an abortion debate.
01:22:40.000 But my point is... Yeah, we did this for like, on the after show for like an hour or so.
01:22:43.000 Yeah, I don't want to get into it.
01:22:44.000 But my point is like, that's where the real debate is.
01:22:46.000 Where we actually are genuinely like, what's the constitutional limitations?
01:22:49.000 What can the government do?
01:22:50.000 And then you have the left that they're just like, we just want to kill babies.
01:22:52.000 Yeah, it's bad.
01:22:53.000 It's gross.
01:22:54.000 It's like they're basically sacrificing their own children to Moloch, dude.
01:22:58.000 That's really what it is.
01:22:59.000 I can't put it any other way.
01:23:00.000 It is a self-correcting problem.
01:23:02.000 And I have a lot of friends on the right that say, let your enemies do what they need to do.
01:23:02.000 Yeah, I know.
01:23:06.000 You know what I mean?
01:23:07.000 Don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
01:23:09.000 So there's a religious argument for me, but there's also, I think, the libertarian argument.
01:23:13.000 Anyway, the point I was making to Euan is that compromise made sense in the 90s when Democrats and Republicans overlapped on almost everything except, how much taxes should people pay and should it be this high for this bracket or this low?
01:23:26.000 And, you know, how strong should the border be?
01:23:29.000 Now the issues are like, sanctuary states should be able to, people should be able to kidnap your children and bring them to a sanctuary state where they can get a forced exchange.
01:23:37.000 Like, I don't see a compromise there!
01:23:38.000 And an abortion at the same time.
01:23:40.000 More compromise just to get the LP on the ticket.
01:23:42.000 That I get.
01:23:44.000 I found the Reason article with RFK talking about the gunman.
01:23:47.000 So it's called RFK Jr.
01:23:48.000 The Reason Interview, and it's an actual interview.
01:23:50.000 And he says, I love Tulsi Gabbard because she understands the importance of disentangling or unraveling the empire and unraveling the war machine.
01:23:57.000 So that's good.
01:23:57.000 But on banning assault weapons, he said... Wait, wait, wait.
01:24:00.000 I want to pull it up.
01:24:01.000 Yeah, just look up RFK Jr.
01:24:02.000 The Reason Interview.
01:24:04.000 Okay, let me pull up the quote.
01:24:05.000 Yeah, but there's another quote here where he says, I'm not going to take away anybody's guns, but if a bipartisan bill to do so passed Congress, I'd sign it.
01:24:15.000 Right.
01:24:16.000 And assault weapons doesn't mean anything anyway.
01:24:18.000 Yeah, I mean, it's such a vague... But that's actually correct.
01:24:21.000 We've long known that he's an anti-gun guy.
01:24:24.000 You should sign off on something that people want.
01:24:27.000 As president, I would never sign a bill that was unconstitutional.
01:24:29.000 Not something that's anti-constitutional, but I mean, I do think that it makes sense to say, you know, if this is what the people want, you should do this.
01:24:35.000 Nope.
01:24:35.000 Veto stamp.
01:24:36.000 Not an unconstitutional thing.
01:24:38.000 Nope.
01:24:39.000 You're missing my point.
01:24:40.000 I hear your point.
01:24:41.000 The border security bill, bipartisan, does not mean the will of the people.
01:24:44.000 It means the corporate establishment paid off a bunch of crackpots or insider trading at the time.
01:24:49.000 I do want to quote-unquote border security bill right now is quote-unquote bipartisan.
01:24:52.000 Well it's not really bipartisan though.
01:24:54.000 Republicans in the Senate did help them draft it.
01:24:57.000 My buddy Chris Hansen who sent me the article from Iowa, I appreciate you sending it.
01:25:03.000 The president doesn't have any constitutional leniency when it comes to the border.
01:25:08.000 No, he should not.
01:25:10.000 He's charged with, this is your job.
01:25:12.000 With not allowing an invasion.
01:25:13.000 Yeah, this is your job.
01:25:14.000 The point of the presidency is quite literally that if there is a bad bill that's bipartisan, he vetoes it.
01:25:21.000 He has to veto it.
01:25:22.000 Fair enough.
01:25:24.000 But again, we're talking about this bill as if it's legitimate.
01:25:28.000 As if the concept of needing this bill is legitimate.
01:25:31.000 And it's not.
01:25:32.000 No, it never was.
01:25:33.000 It's entirely illegitimate.
01:25:35.000 This is a distraction.
01:25:36.000 Well, it depends on how you look at it, Phil.
01:25:37.000 The fact that we've spent, you know, that you're spending so much effort and energy discussing this when the president has every bit of authority that he needs currently in the Constitution to defend the border, take care of all the problems we have at the border.
01:25:53.000 The president has all the authority he needs.
01:25:55.000 This is literally just extorting the American people so that way they can get money to launder in Ukraine and give money to Israel to defend their own country.
01:26:04.000 How are they laundering money without Sam Bankman Freed?
01:26:07.000 I don't understand.
01:26:10.000 They don't have their chief money launderer anymore.
01:26:13.000 I actually met a lawyer for his family.
01:26:13.000 It's actually crazy.
01:26:17.000 Really?
01:26:17.000 I mean, look, I gotta tell you, I tell these stories about National Harbor, D.C., and this is where all these people are hanging out.
01:26:25.000 You want to meet the high-powered lobby?
01:26:26.000 I gotta tell you, man, this casino is apparently the highest grossing casino in the country.
01:26:33.000 I can't even, I don't, there's just like 20,000 people downstairs at the tables, and they're probably all millionaires, and I cannot fathom.
01:26:40.000 I saw a guy sitting at a table with like 20 grand just playing away, and I'm just like, this is nuts!
01:26:45.000 You go to the poker room, they had a, I guess it was, I don't know if you guys know anything about it, 2550 was on the list, but apparently it was even bigger than that.
01:26:56.000 Long story short, what does that mean?
01:26:58.000 It means everybody who played had to bring $100,000.
01:27:00.000 So you have basically one or more.
01:27:03.000 That's the minimum.
01:27:04.000 That's crazy.
01:27:05.000 And so these are people with a million dollars on the table.
01:27:07.000 I was not playing anywhere near that level.
01:27:09.000 I was playing 2-5.
01:27:10.000 And I met a guy who was a lawyer who was talking about how he's actually a lawyer for their family.
01:27:15.000 And, you know, he didn't go into any classified details, but it was interesting to hear the perspective he had on what was going on.
01:27:21.000 Did they drop the charges on that guy?
01:27:23.000 I mean, it just seems like...
01:27:27.000 It's all dirty.
01:27:28.000 Yeah, I read that they dropped some charges.
01:27:29.000 Yeah, a bunch of the charges got dropped.
01:27:30.000 They dropped some charges, but not all.
01:27:33.000 Yeah, they can't really put him in jail when he was the one laundering their money.
01:27:36.000 I gotta say this.
01:27:37.000 I gotta say this right now.
01:27:38.000 I gotta say this right now.
01:27:40.000 If you're a journalist, you're trying to figure out how to get started in journalism.
01:27:44.000 I got a tip for you guys.
01:27:46.000 Because people often ask, what can I do to get started?
01:27:49.000 And everyone always says, buy a cell phone and go to the border.
01:27:51.000 I got a better one for you.
01:27:52.000 You don't tell them stories though, that's a good idea.
01:27:53.000 Go to the poker room at MGM National Harbor.
01:27:57.000 Yo.
01:27:57.000 It is, it, no I'm not kidding.
01:27:59.000 The people I have met there, it is wild.
01:28:01.000 I mean, first of all, I was hanging out with a guy who was a Mises Caucus guy the other day,
01:28:04.000 and he knew who I was, and he was like, oh, and we're talking about normal stuff.
01:28:07.000 But then you meet a guy who's a lawyer for the Bankman Freed family.
01:28:10.000 And I'm like, tell me more, good sir.
01:28:11.000 If you want to get into journalism, Or I mean post-millennial should just have a...
01:28:15.000 I might do this.
01:28:15.000 I don't know, I'm just trying to sit at a table.
01:28:17.000 No, no, no, I'm saying hire somebody.
01:28:19.000 Maybe we'll have SCNR hire someone literally just to play 1-3 and keep an ear open.
01:28:25.000 But really, if you want the big shots, it's 2-5 or 5-10.
01:28:28.000 Those are very expensive games and it's hard.
01:28:31.000 But the things you overhear there, and the things people are talking about, because these are people in DC who have a lot of money.
01:28:37.000 If they're playing 5-10, that means they spent between $600 and $2,500 to play that game.
01:28:44.000 And I gotta tell you, these guys, they play more than that.
01:28:47.000 So you have to wonder what job they have in the DC area.
01:28:50.000 And it's not a construction worker.
01:28:52.000 No, you're gonna find lobbyists and lawyers, and they love to talk.
01:28:56.000 You can't film here, though.
01:28:58.000 Some casinos do allow it, but if you're in MGM National Harbor, it does not.
01:29:01.000 And probably because...
01:29:03.000 These guys are going to be high-powered lawyers, delegates, political staffers, people who are doing things maybe they shouldn't be doing, but you'll hear those opinions.
01:29:12.000 I'm willing to bet you will find a ton of stories if you just play the game and ask, like, oh, really?
01:29:16.000 Like, what do you do?
01:29:17.000 What is that like?
01:29:19.000 Oh, is it true what they said about that guy?
01:29:20.000 You're going to get scoops galore.
01:29:22.000 Because these dudes hang at the table, they're bored all day, they're there for six hours or more.
01:29:27.000 They're probably drinking.
01:29:28.000 Some of them, a lot of them are drinking, and the server's coming around offering drinks.
01:29:32.000 Actually, but if you go on Saturday night, I'm willing to bet that's a good spot for a journalist to hang out.
01:29:38.000 Poker room at MGM National Harbor.
01:29:41.000 Now all the DC politicians are going like this.
01:29:45.000 All the ones you've had on the show are like, thanks!
01:29:48.000 Thanks a lot!
01:29:48.000 Well, I was saying before, I think this is where they actually launder money.
01:29:51.000 So, when I played this past week, yesterday, when I was cashing out, they had like a supervisor come over and track the cash out, write down my name, write down the table I was on, the game that was played, how much money was played, how long I was there, and then thanked me for my business.
01:30:08.000 And I'm like, I wonder if that has to do with money laundering.
01:30:10.000 That's wild.
01:30:11.000 Yeah, because we talked about it before.
01:30:14.000 If you want to launder money, if you're... I was actually talking to some some dude there about it.
01:30:20.000 And he was like, nah, you don't need to go to a poker room for that.
01:30:21.000 Just bring up a briefcase.
01:30:22.000 And I'm like, how do you how do you report your taxes?
01:30:24.000 No.
01:30:25.000 I came into 20 grand.
01:30:26.000 It's really easy.
01:30:28.000 You got a proxy, a guy who works for your company or just someone you know who you want to have the money.
01:30:33.000 And then you've got a guy who's going to make the donation.
01:30:35.000 And they play a hand of poker, and then the guy goes, oh, jeez, I'm gonna bet $20,000.
01:30:41.000 Ah, you beat me.
01:30:42.000 And there's no record of what cards you had.
01:30:42.000 Right.
01:30:44.000 You just muck them, so you don't even know if it was a con game.
01:30:47.000 All you see on camera is two guys played a game of poker and one guy won $20,000.
01:30:51.000 Now he reports it on his taxes.
01:30:53.000 Clean as a whistle.
01:30:54.000 Right.
01:30:54.000 And we know what that money's really for.
01:30:57.000 I've seen Ozarks.
01:30:58.000 Yeah.
01:30:58.000 I've seen the movie.
01:30:59.000 I've seen the show.
01:31:00.000 That's what they did the show, right?
01:31:02.000 I mean, that was the big thing.
01:31:02.000 I haven't seen Ozarks.
01:31:03.000 Yeah, they opened a casino so they could launder cartel money.
01:31:06.000 I mean, that was the whole thing about the show.
01:31:09.000 The poker room is especially interesting.
01:31:12.000 You sit down with your cash, and then you say, I'm gonna bet 10 grand, and the other guy says, I call, and then you go, ah, he got me.
01:31:18.000 So let me explain this.
01:31:20.000 Let's say, it can work really simple.
01:31:22.000 Anybody who plays poker knows how you could do this, but for those that understand, you don't need to show your cards.
01:31:28.000 If I've got the best possible hand, let's say I get a royal flush.
01:31:31.000 I have the best hand, but I want Phil to be given money.
01:31:35.000 Phil could have the worst possible hand.
01:31:37.000 Or he could have a hand and then when I bet all my money and he calls my bet and flips over a mediocre hand, all I have to do is say he got me and then put my cards face down in what's called the muck.
01:31:49.000 No one will ever see what I had.
01:31:51.000 Which means I can choose to lose without any proof that I actually won.
01:31:56.000 I wonder if casinos in the future are going to change it so your cards are... Always tracked.
01:32:00.000 Yeah.
01:32:02.000 They could.
01:32:03.000 I mean, they can record it.
01:32:04.000 Yeah, we have an RFID table.
01:32:07.000 They could track it.
01:32:08.000 I mean, they make the poker hand cameras, too, for the big poker hand and stuff.
01:32:14.000 But you have to show those.
01:32:14.000 Now they do RFID, where you've got it on the table, you get the cards, and you rub them.
01:32:20.000 You don't have to, but you try to get them to move so it reads, and then the computer gets all the information.
01:32:24.000 I don't think they're going to spend $20,000 on an RFID table at any casino.
01:32:28.000 And they're not going to intentionally expose people that are trading money under the table.
01:32:34.000 Yeah, they're not interested in exposing money laundering.
01:32:35.000 They have no reason to stop that.
01:32:38.000 I am not suggesting National Harbor does this or is in any way knowledgeable of anything that's going on.
01:32:43.000 Good to caveat that.
01:32:45.000 Yeah, I think it's a fine establishment.
01:32:46.000 Dude, I gotta tell you, man.
01:32:51.000 I've been to a lot of casinos, okay, and a lot of people have, but you go to MGM National Harbor, and I do not understand how these people are there.
01:32:57.000 I don't get it.
01:32:59.000 You want to play one hand of, like, Ultimate Hold'em.
01:33:01.000 It's basically, it's like a blackjack, but it's a different table game called Carnival Games.
01:33:05.000 It's gonna cost you, let's see, it's $50, $50, $50, $150, and then to play is another, so $200 to see one hand.
01:33:14.000 And if you want to raise your bet because you got a good hand, you're putting another $150 on top.
01:33:19.000 How is anyone playing there?
01:33:21.000 I do not understand.
01:33:21.000 There's gotta be people, well I don't know, speculation, they're like, from a foreign government, they're like, go to D.C., get the job done, and give that city a million bucks while you're there.
01:33:31.000 Take this ten million with you.
01:33:32.000 It's Maryland, it's not D.C.
01:33:33.000 National Harbor is a Maryland, yeah.
01:33:35.000 How far from D.C.
01:33:36.000 A couple miles.
01:33:36.000 is it?
01:33:38.000 So it's like a hotspot, a D.C.
01:33:39.000 hotspot, but it's out of D.C.?
01:33:41.000 So this is the thing, I'm like, I really just think maybe it's, There's a lot of big money coming through D.C.
01:33:46.000 Yeah, there's no gambling in D.C., right?
01:33:47.000 No, but National Harbor's Maryland, and it's just south of D.C., and I'm like, maybe D.C.
01:33:52.000 is more powerful.
01:33:53.000 It's not listed in one of the top cities for millionaires.
01:33:55.000 It's actually nowhere near it, but there's a lot of money running through there, and I'm seeing... There's a lot of diplomats, too.
01:34:01.000 Diplomats have a lot of money.
01:34:02.000 That must be it, but I'm like, I'm seeing what looks like some working-class dude pulling $25 slot levers, and I'm just like...
01:34:08.000 This is the craziest place I've ever been.
01:34:10.000 There's also people ruining their lives with gambling.
01:34:12.000 I mean, you can't take that out of the equation.
01:34:15.000 Sure, but... I don't know, man.
01:34:16.000 You go to, like, Maryland Live, or... Gambling's like heroin to some people, man.
01:34:21.000 It really is bad.
01:34:21.000 It is a bad addiction.
01:34:22.000 Yeah, I get it, but, like... I mean, look, if someone's making, like, 80k a year, they get their one paycheck for the weekend, they're gonna be there for five minutes.
01:34:29.000 Yeah.
01:34:30.000 I don't... I don't believe that.
01:34:33.000 Like where all that big money is coming from?
01:34:34.000 I mean, maybe it's just the reality that DC's got a lot of secret millionaires and a lot of money flying through and
01:34:40.000 people are Gonna go to the casino. I think seven of the top ten
01:34:43.000 richest counties are the counties that surround the DC area I don't know about that many but I think one of them like
01:34:49.000 one of them high like Fairfax is really rich Yeah, I don't think it's seven of ten
01:34:54.000 I look I look I was looking this up to try and figure it out and it's like California has the whole Chevy chase
01:34:58.000 So Marin County is one of the richest counties in the entire country. I know that that's the right across the
01:35:04.000 Golden Gate Bridge There are a lot of gambling there
01:35:06.000 No.
01:35:07.000 Not at all.
01:35:08.000 It's Sausalito.
01:35:09.000 It's all Bay Territory.
01:35:11.000 It's Loudoun County Falls Church, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Fairfax, Howard, which is in Maryland, Arlington, Virginia, Marin County, which is in California, Douglas County.
01:35:21.000 So yeah, I mean, it's not the seven, but it's got, let's see, one, two, Three, four, five of the top ten.
01:35:29.000 So you're effectively right.
01:35:30.000 Fun fact, the Golden Gate Bridge is still privately owned by a secret group of people.
01:35:37.000 What?
01:35:37.000 Is that right?
01:35:38.000 The Golden Gate Bridge is owned by a secret group of people?
01:35:40.000 I don't know if that's still the truth, but that was the truth for many, many, many, many years.
01:35:43.000 It was like a secret, secret group of people in Marin County that actually owned the bridge.
01:35:47.000 Oh, in Marin County, you don't say.
01:35:49.000 Yeah, of course.

01:37:05.000 And before we read Super Chats, I do want to give a shout-out to our good friend Taylor Lorenz for one of the nicest things she could have possibly said in relation to my work.
01:37:15.000 I was deeply moved.
01:37:17.000 I saw an interview she did where she said Tim Pool is dishonest.
01:37:21.000 Which shocked me until she explained in greater detail what she meant.
01:37:27.000 She said, Tim Pool does not do journalism.
01:37:31.000 He comments on other people's work and he is dishonest.
01:37:35.000 And I went, oh, she's saying the news that I am reading from the New York Times and from the Wall Street Journal is fake.
01:37:47.000 Based.
01:37:48.000 I support it.
01:37:48.000 But that's the gist of what she said!
01:37:48.000 I like it.
01:37:50.000 Isn't that what most podcasts do?
01:37:52.000 We look up current events and then comment on current events?
01:37:54.000 But sometimes when you say something someone disagrees with, they'll call you dishonest, but you just don't agree.
01:37:59.000 Doesn't mean you're not lying.
01:38:00.000 She literally says in the interview, Tim Poole does nothing original, he just comments on other people's news, and he's dishonest.
01:38:06.000 But if I'm commenting on news, what's dishonest?
01:38:11.000 It's not my opinion on the news, right?
01:38:13.000 Because an opinion isn't a fact-based question.
01:38:16.000 So, she's saying the news is fake.
01:38:19.000 She said the quiet part out loud.
01:38:20.000 She did.
01:38:21.000 I appreciate it.
01:38:21.000 We're gonna raid superchats.
01:38:23.000 Alright, Stephen says, second, hello Josh, in fact, good sir, you are first.
01:38:28.000 Stephen.
01:38:29.000 There you go.
01:38:31.000 Shane H. Wilder says the Alaskan National Guard will probably be deployed in the summer so they can pass out on the Texas heat in a Napoleon invasion of Russia scenario.
01:38:39.000 Well, it may be early next year, we don't know exactly when.
01:38:42.000 The point is, why are you going to announce this?
01:38:44.000 I mean, this is a bad idea.
01:38:45.000 Yeah, this is like a virtue signal.
01:38:46.000 And they haven't done it in five years.
01:38:47.000 At the very least, it was just really dumb timing.
01:38:51.000 Raybert G. Standbert Jr.
01:38:52.000 says, Tim, did you see Bill Maher prove his incompetence once again with PBD on his show when talking about Gavin Newsom for president?
01:38:58.000 It was painful.
01:38:59.000 I do not agree with the general assessment of his performance.
01:39:03.000 What happened is Bill Maher said, Gavin Newsom is a winner, I don't understand why we can't have him.
01:39:09.000 Patrick Bette David said, are you a results-based guy?
01:39:11.000 PBD, he's so good at what he does with his interviews.
01:39:14.000 And Bill's like, what do you mean?
01:39:15.000 Well, results, you're saying like, he's a winner, so what did he do to win?
01:39:18.000 And Bill says, no, he wins elections.
01:39:22.000 Then PBD says, Patrick Bette David, by the way, value attainment, says, what did he do that was good for California?
01:39:28.000 And Bill says, he made it rain, I don't care.
01:39:31.000 He's like, there's bad things about California.
01:39:33.000 I don't like everything he does.
01:39:35.000 I don't actually see this as a gotcha moment, as a lot of people do, because Bill Maher was not trying to make the point that Gavin Newsom's policies are good.
01:39:44.000 He was trying to make the point this guy is capable of winning an election against Trump and Biden is not.
01:39:48.000 And that is a true and correct point we should be concerned about if they try to swap Biden out for Gavin Newsom.
01:39:54.000 However, I do give some brownie points to, come on, Bill.
01:39:58.000 Don't cheer for a guy.
01:39:59.000 You can't complain about Trump for being bad, and then say, I have no idea what the other guy's done.
01:40:04.000 But, like, he's like, not everything Gavin Newsom's done is good.
01:40:07.000 I mean, there's bad things, of course.
01:40:08.000 I don't know.
01:40:08.000 What has he done that's good?
01:40:10.000 Okay, well, now you're talking about Gavin Newsom is a winner, can win an election, and he's kind of bad, but Trump is very bad.
01:40:16.000 Okay, whatever, I get it.
01:40:18.000 It's probably a reason why Bill Maher does not want to come on this show.
01:40:24.000 I mean, to be fair, he's like a super rich old guy who's like, doesn't want to go on anyone's shows.
01:40:29.000 Also because you won't let him smoke weed in here, so.
01:40:32.000 We offered to go out there and try and work something out.
01:40:33.000 They said no.
01:40:34.000 Oh, really?
01:40:35.000 Yeah, and I will not go on real time.
01:40:37.000 I can't stand that.
01:40:37.000 I would never.
01:40:38.000 It's so silly.
01:40:39.000 Like, it's just WWE.
01:40:41.000 It's not your format, man.
01:40:43.000 I mean, I could easily, it's just like, sit there for, you know, speak for 10 minutes and then you're done and then argue with some guy who's going to say stupid things and get a rise out of the audience.
01:40:50.000 It's just, but Club Random, we tried, we're like, hey, we'll go to LA.
01:40:55.000 We'll set up our show for a week and then we'll come on the show.
01:40:57.000 And they're like, well, you know, can't do it.
01:41:01.000 Whatever, he doesn't owe me anything.
01:41:03.000 All right, let's grab some more.
01:41:05.000 Mr. Battalion says, Tim, have you thought that AK is betting on DT winning 24 since the deployment isn't until 25?
01:41:11.000 Exactly.
01:41:12.000 All these moves that are being made are to create crises under Donald Trump's presidency.
01:41:16.000 They're not going to be able to Russiagate him again.
01:41:19.000 So what can they do?
01:41:20.000 This bill will give the federal government all of these powers, and it's locked in, and if Trump wants to change it, it goes to D.C.
01:41:29.000 federal court.
01:41:31.000 That was the key you guys pointed out.
01:41:33.000 I was glad I found that.
01:41:35.000 I've seen a couple people share it now, but it's not.
01:41:37.000 It's not making the rounds like it should be, because that's probably the crux of that bill.
01:41:42.000 Besides the war funds, that is the biggest part of that bill.
01:41:46.000 And then what happens even if Congress tries to change it?
01:41:48.000 Will it also have to go to a D.C.
01:41:50.000 It's what it sounds like to me.
01:41:50.000 court?
01:41:51.000 I mean, like I said, I'm not a legalese guy, but it sounds to me like everything pertaining to this issue from now on will have to go through the D.C.
01:41:59.000 I think Congress would be able to override it themselves without court, but Trump won't.
01:41:59.000 District Court.
01:42:03.000 What's going to happen is Trump will get elected and he'll be like, we're going to shut it down.
01:42:07.000 We're going to lock Wrap the borders and then immediately Democrats will file suit and say the bill, the law of this land says we have to go to D.C.
01:42:13.000 court where they will immediately say Trump loses.
01:42:17.000 Even if he gets elected he's only going to have four years.
01:42:20.000 They're going to wrap it up in court for two.
01:42:21.000 Immediately.
01:42:23.000 Minimum two years in the D.C.
01:42:25.000 People forget that you may win the case but it's going to take so long for it to get done it's effectively useless.
01:42:25.000 district courts.
01:42:29.000 Especially in the D.C.
01:42:30.000 district court.
01:42:31.000 They're going to keep pushing it back, pushing it back.
01:42:34.000 All these other things are going to take precedence.
01:42:35.000 It's going to be bad.
01:42:37.000 Let's read this one, this one's good.
01:42:38.000 Quan Xin says, Xin, want to clarify something you said last Friday.
01:42:42.000 In Singapore, you can't get caned for littering.
01:42:45.000 You can get caned for illegal entry or overstaying your permit for 90 days.
01:42:49.000 That might help with U.S.
01:42:50.000 immigration issues.
01:42:52.000 I'm not in favor of caning, but I do believe that atypical punishment that is not cruel and unusual Well, I don't know, atypical and unusual, I don't know what unusual means, but I do think there could be forms of penance that would actually be substantially more effective than torture or locking someone up with their gang.
01:43:15.000 Yeah, it's not, you could do cruel or, it's not cruel or unusual, it's cruel and unusual punishment is not allowed, but if it's not cruel, it can still be unusual.
01:43:23.000 Oh, good point.
01:43:24.000 And if it's not unusual, it can still be cruel.
01:43:26.000 Like putting people in prison where they get raped.
01:43:28.000 Wow, it shouldn't be, but I think the point is cruelty is unusual.
01:43:33.000 Listen, what happens to pedophiles?
01:43:34.000 I don't care.
01:43:35.000 They can go to prison and get raped for all I care.
01:43:39.000 We could use some unusual... I agree with the atypical or unusual.
01:43:44.000 We talked about this.
01:43:46.000 I guarantee you, if I was given, like, you are the Supreme Chancellor, how will you end crime in Chicago?
01:43:53.000 I would say, When you are caught for violent offenses, we will make you wear a diaper and crawl around in a public park surrounded by everyone with their cell phone cameras filming you.
01:44:05.000 And you have to say, gobby gooby, gobby gooby for two hours.
01:44:10.000 If you made them do it in their living room, that would be unusual.
01:44:17.000 I like it in the park.
01:44:18.000 Hold on, hold on.
01:44:19.000 Here's my question about the definition of cruel.
01:44:21.000 I'm talking about violent criminal offenders who are caught.
01:44:24.000 Convicted in a court of law and their punishment is to be to be mocked in public.
01:44:29.000 I think cruel needs, like, torture is cruel.
01:44:29.000 Humiliated.
01:44:33.000 Solitary confinement is cruel.
01:44:34.000 These things cause tremendous, like, lifelong traumas and physical disabilities.
01:44:39.000 You getting made fun of for an hour or so is a, like, I gotta tell you.
01:44:43.000 In Chicago, these guys are gonna be like, ain't no way, I'm getting caught dude.
01:44:48.000 Because they're gonna put you in a diaper and make you, you gotta hop like a bunny down Michigan Avenue, and everyone gets to film you.
01:44:54.000 And that's forever.
01:44:56.000 You're not going to go to jail, but that will be who you are, and they'll be like, I don't want to be that.
01:44:59.000 I like the diaper idea.
01:45:00.000 I like the public humiliation aspect.
01:45:02.000 Public humiliation was big in the Puritan days, wasn't it?
01:45:05.000 You had like the stocks and stuff, they'd put you out in public, or Hester Prynne with her A, that was humiliating.
01:45:10.000 And people would throw tomatoes and stuff.
01:45:12.000 Or the lady who, I forget what her crime was, but her sentence was to work at a fast food restaurant.
01:45:17.000 Yep.
01:45:18.000 So I'm riding the car with some skateboarders.
01:45:22.000 And some of these guys from the south side of Chicago, it's probably when I'm like 20, 19 years old maybe, and the way they speak, they say, when I go to jail, I'm going to X. They don't say if.
01:45:33.000 They don't say, I hope I don't.
01:45:35.000 They say, when I do.
01:45:36.000 And the other thing is, many of them like that they've done it, and they brag about it.
01:45:41.000 They go, you ain't notion.
01:45:43.000 You know, ish.
01:45:43.000 Where did you get locked up?
01:45:45.000 Man, I spent X amount of time in this place.
01:45:46.000 You're gonna come at me, bro?
01:45:48.000 It's just like getting your wings in the military, man.
01:45:50.000 It's the same thing.
01:45:50.000 It's like something you're proud of.
01:45:51.000 But if they said, aren't you that guy I saw in the diaper?
01:45:56.000 Gaba goobying down Michigan Avenue and everyone laughed at you?
01:45:59.000 He'd be like, nah, that wasn't me, I swear to God.
01:46:01.000 There's video, buddy.
01:46:02.000 I'm pretty sure that was you.
01:46:03.000 Where there's a guy, there's a guy who's like on his bed on the internet naked or something, and then someone tweeted, there's another guy who posted something and someone tweeted him, hey aren't you that guy that's butt-ass naked on your couch?
01:46:13.000 And he's like, no it's not me, and they post a picture of it.
01:46:16.000 People are terrified of that.
01:46:18.000 And so I'm not literally saying we should have people dress in diapers, I'm making the point that the idea of locking someone in a box with their gang, and they like it, That's not solving any problems at all.
01:46:30.000 It's all the way from home.
01:46:31.000 It's like a career move.
01:46:32.000 Yeah, literally.
01:46:32.000 It's like a criminal career move, yeah.
01:46:34.000 And then there's a lot of people.
01:46:36.000 It's not helping.
01:46:37.000 There'll be a guy who's like, I saw this in Ferguson.
01:46:41.000 So they're struggling to pay their bills.
01:46:43.000 They're driving to work, and they've got a busted taillight.
01:46:46.000 They get pulled over.
01:46:47.000 They can't pay the bill, so they don't.
01:46:49.000 Then they get pulled over.
01:46:50.000 So there's a bunch of small towns when you drive through the St.
01:46:52.000 Louis metro.
01:46:55.000 It's like 99 different cities.
01:46:56.000 And so, when you can't pay the bill, it's like, it's a weekend in jail.
01:47:00.000 The only problem, it's two days.
01:47:00.000 No big deal, right?
01:47:02.000 But if you've got six tickets across six jurisdictions, they put you on tour.
01:47:05.000 It's where you go to one jail.
01:47:07.000 Two days later, they transport you to the next jail.
01:47:08.000 Two days later, next jail.
01:47:09.000 I'm like, how is taking this guy out of the workforce and stripping him of the money he doesn't have helping anybody because he couldn't pay a ticket?
01:47:16.000 None of that solves any problems.
01:47:18.000 That's not a good reason.
01:47:18.000 And how are we taking gang members, putting them in boxes with their gang where they're happy it's happening, and acting like we're solving the problem in any way?
01:47:25.000 I was just thinking about Boo Kelly.
01:47:26.000 You guys see he got elected with 90% people or so?
01:47:30.000 And there's apparently like a, well, according to the news, very legitimate election, but people love him.
01:47:34.000 What is he doing to get the gangs off?
01:47:36.000 Is it just severe brutality in El Salvador right now?
01:47:38.000 He's just locking them all up.
01:47:39.000 They're arresting them all.
01:47:40.000 And they're just putting all these guys?
01:47:41.000 They're arresting them and putting them in a brutal prison where they just all sit there.
01:47:44.000 Like Arkham Asylum?
01:47:46.000 Like it's the worst of the worst of their society all together in one?
01:47:49.000 Arkham Asylum!
01:47:51.000 Basically, that's what it looks like in the pictures.
01:47:53.000 And they're terrified, dude.
01:47:55.000 So there are guys who have gang tattoos, and they're hiding in the shadows.
01:47:59.000 It's wild, some of the stories I've heard.
01:48:01.000 Cause like, you join a gang, you get a tattoo on your face.
01:48:04.000 Now that Bukele's locking up all the gang members, their makeup, covering it up, they're panicking, like, if I get seen associated with a gang in any way, it's straight to lock up.
01:48:14.000 Yeah.
01:48:15.000 I was talking to my Salvadorian friend just the other day in D.C.
01:48:17.000 and he said, like, he went back just recently after Bukele was elected and he says it's like night and day.
01:48:22.000 Like, he doesn't even recognize his own neighborhood anymore from when he grew up as a kid.
01:48:25.000 He says it's the most violent country in the world, or at least in Central.
01:48:28.000 It was up there.
01:48:30.000 Definitely a top five.
01:48:31.000 And now it's one of the safest in the world.
01:48:32.000 Yeah.
01:48:33.000 And Bitcoin's legal tender.
01:48:34.000 Yeah.
01:48:35.000 And their economy is like...
01:48:37.000 Sick.
01:48:39.000 This is Zaitsev.
01:48:41.000 Check page 213 of the bill.
01:48:43.000 Aliens from non-contiguous countries shall not be included in calculating the sum of aliens encountered.
01:48:49.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:48:51.000 Can you pull that up, 213?
01:48:52.000 Aliens described in subsection blah blah from non-contiguous countries shall not be included in calculating the sum of aliens encountered.
01:49:01.000 What are the, which countries?
01:49:03.000 Are they saying that if you come from China to Mexico you're not going to be counted?
01:49:07.000 Non-contiguous means if you don't touch, if your country doesn't touch the U.S.
01:49:10.000 Right.
01:49:11.000 Wow.
01:49:13.000 That is messed up, you guys.
01:49:16.000 Wow!
01:49:17.000 Call your congressman tomorrow.
01:49:18.000 Everybody that is not from Canada or Mexico is not counted in that three million a year that we'll be allowed in.
01:49:28.000 This bill is very important.
01:49:29.000 We've got a Canadian illegal immigration problem.
01:49:32.000 We just had two people arrested.
01:49:37.000 Two illegal immigrants were just arrested for running a human trafficking ring across the Canadian border.
01:49:42.000 You should screenshot that.
01:49:44.000 It's much easier to get into America from Canada than it is to get into Canada from America.
01:49:50.000 I heard some pod... Stitch and I were talking about this particular phrase, and they were saying that they were thinking that it might be something having to do with Cuba, but the way that it sounds to me, it does sound like if it's not, if you're not from Canada or Mexico, which are the only two countries that are legitimate, where the people could make legitimate asylum claims because you're supposed to stop in the first
01:50:16.000 safe country that you come to.
01:50:18.000 If that if it's the case, then that means that they that anyone that isn't from Canada or Mexico
01:50:24.000 is is not counted. So the number could be, you know, God knows.
01:50:29.000 And that's for the purpose of closing the border. So they won't have to close the border if it's
01:50:34.000 just all people from not Mexico. Yeah. So you could have like, you know,
01:50:38.000 5000 people from from Africa, and they don't count towards the 5000 people to close the border.
01:50:44.000 That's what it seems like.
01:50:45.000 That's what it looks like.
01:50:46.000 Most of the people are not coming from Mexico.
01:50:49.000 Not Mexican nationals.
01:50:50.000 Excuse me, this bill is ass.
01:50:52.000 It needs to go away very quickly, very fast.
01:50:55.000 Everyone should call their congress people.
01:50:56.000 Tomorrow.
01:50:57.000 All day.
01:50:58.000 All day long.
01:50:59.000 What time?
01:50:59.000 Should we coordinate like at two in the morning?
01:51:01.000 No, no, no.
01:51:02.000 It doesn't matter when.
01:51:03.000 The time doesn't matter.
01:51:04.000 Just fill up their mailboxes.
01:51:05.000 Is there a website you can go to where you put in your area code and it shows you who your congressman is?
01:51:10.000 There should be, yeah.
01:51:11.000 Well, I mean, everyone, you can go to your, yeah, you can Google.
01:51:14.000 If you Google whatever your, you know, I'm from this town who's my congressman, Google will tell you what your district is.
01:51:19.000 I will say, though, Mitch McConnell coming out and saying it.
01:51:21.000 So Mitch McConnell's basically the guy in my lifetime that has always been like, oh, there's a bad bipartisan bill coming through?
01:51:27.000 We should vote for it.
01:51:29.000 You said that, but I saw something from Tenet Media earlier that said that Mitch McConnell was for it, so I'm not sure.
01:51:35.000 Oh, I didn't say that.
01:51:36.000 Libby said it.
01:51:37.000 Libby was wrong, not me.
01:51:38.000 I'm just parodying.
01:51:39.000 Libby, why are you lying to me?
01:51:41.000 Why are you lying to me?
01:51:42.000 Yo, why are you lying, Libby?
01:51:44.000 Mitch McConnell saying to vote against the bill.
01:51:45.000 That's what I thought.
01:51:46.000 He didn't say that?
01:51:47.000 She said she saw it.
01:51:47.000 I said I saw it on Alex Boyd Johnson's Twitter.
01:51:50.000 I was surprised to hear that because Mitch McConnell basically is like the bad bipartisan bill machine, right?
01:51:57.000 He's the guy in the Republicans that's like, oh, it's another bill that's going to not help American citizens at all?
01:52:02.000 Sure, why not?
01:52:03.000 Every every time I want to see anything about this bike popular people never really stoked.
01:52:07.000 It's always what do you do in Kentucky get it together geez?
01:52:10.000 You got you have Thomas Massey and Rand Paul Yeah, I know.
01:52:15.000 And Mitch McConnell, of all the people?
01:52:18.000 Come on.
01:52:18.000 Alright, Jacob Hawley says, Ian, I just want to thank you.
01:52:21.000 Your humanity and compassion and your quick jump to assume the best in people has given me hope.
01:52:25.000 About a year ago, I was depressed, alone, and without purpose.
01:52:28.000 I considered ending myself many times.
01:52:30.000 You and God saved me.
01:52:31.000 You know what, dude?
01:52:32.000 I was thinking this, like, yesterday.
01:52:34.000 If you live in fear, even if you succeed, you've failed.
01:52:38.000 Like, you have to have at least that Hope?
01:52:41.000 Hope is what makes us human.
01:52:42.000 in the future. Hope? Yeah, yeah, even if things are bad, like fuck it, be hopeful man, because
01:52:48.000 things are going to get better and live like that. Hope is what makes us human. Winston Churchill was
01:52:53.000 great about that during World War II because it was like the darkest time in British history and
01:52:56.000 they, people were getting bombed in London, they were, anyway. Let's read this.
01:53:00.000 E.W.
01:53:00.000 says, y'all need to go watch the Dave Smith's interview with RFK Jr.
01:53:03.000 this past week.
01:53:04.000 I did.
01:53:05.000 Dave 180'd on RFK Jr.
01:53:07.000 The idea that he would VP with RFK Jr.
01:53:09.000 after that is hilarious.
01:53:10.000 Go watch the interview.
01:53:12.000 Yeah.
01:53:12.000 He wrecked.
01:53:14.000 I'm telling you, there's the longest- He was a fan of RFK Jr.? ?
01:53:17.000 I think he's a fan of the anti-war narrative that he had been having prior to this Israeli-Palestinian conflict recharging.
01:53:27.000 But he obliterates RFK Jr.?
01:53:28.000 On Israel?
01:53:29.000 He took him to task on all of this stuff real bad.
01:53:31.000 And in fact, at the end asked him, do you think Israel has too much influence on American politics?
01:53:36.000 And it was the longest pregnant pause I've ever seen.
01:53:38.000 It was probably 10 seconds.
01:53:40.000 Somebody made a video of it with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music because it was so long.
01:53:44.000 He was like, well, And then he starts saying, well, I'm not really a politician, so I couldn't tell ya.
01:53:51.000 Okay, alright.
01:53:53.000 Sure, you couldn't.
01:53:54.000 Yikes.
01:53:55.000 I will just say this.
01:53:56.000 Phil, MTG reacted to it, and it came from Punchbowl.
01:53:59.000 I was just playing with you, Libby.
01:54:01.000 So nobody owes us any favors.
01:54:04.000 If you don't want to come on the show, then you don't come on the show, that's fine.
01:54:08.000 But there are a lot of these personalities who are terrified to come on this show because they know you say it, I'm going to Google search it right there on the spot and pull it up.
01:54:18.000 And so we've had a hard time trying to book RFK Jr.
01:54:21.000 for sure.
01:54:21.000 Yeah, it's going to be a hard one for sure.
01:54:25.000 You know, there's another thing, too.
01:54:27.000 He's been invited to the Libertarian Party of California convention.
01:54:30.000 In fact, they're doing a debate there that has him, Cornel West, Jill Stein, and any Libertarian candidate that was willing to pay $5,000 to be in a debate for our own party at our own state convention when they're not charging them.
01:54:44.000 Which is kind of weird, right?
01:54:46.000 I would say it's kind of weird.
01:54:47.000 Anyways, so he's going to debate, I think, Jacob Hornberger and maybe Michael Recktenwald because they paid the fee.
01:54:53.000 I refuse to pay the fee.
01:54:54.000 Johnny Medler says RFK Jr.
01:54:56.000 endorsed Hillary Clinton three times.
01:54:57.000 He's one of them, no matter what he says now.
01:55:00.000 Yeah, but he's pulling votes from Joe Biden.
01:55:03.000 I think he's pulling votes from both sides.
01:55:05.000 It's mostly Joe, mostly Biden.
01:55:07.000 I think it's polling now, mostly Biden.
01:55:09.000 I think in a general election, he's pulling from both sides.
01:55:13.000 Yeah, probably a little, but I think he's really got that Democrat flair.
01:55:17.000 Yeah, but there's a right-wing contingent that really likes this guy because of his COVID stances.
01:55:23.000 Oh yeah, COVID's content with Trump and COVID.
01:55:24.000 If you guys are looking for a COVID guy, I want to put the COVID regime in Guantanamo Bay.
01:55:29.000 All right, let's read this.
01:55:30.000 Domestic Tourist says, Please pray for my dog Scout.
01:55:34.000 Cast, crew, and listeners, he is currently battling bone cancer and I'm not sure how long he has.
01:55:38.000 I'm a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and he's my service dog.
01:55:40.000 He saved my life.
01:55:42.000 Sorry to hear it, man.
01:55:43.000 I hope for the best.
01:55:44.000 I hope he has a good recovery and just cherish every moment you can have with him.
01:55:49.000 Praying for your doggo, man.
01:55:51.000 Thanks for sharing.
01:55:51.000 Heal those bones.
01:55:53.000 So Mr. Bocas, we were on Friday.
01:55:58.000 You know, someone came down and said, he's like sprawled out on the ground, like staring at the floor, his face just flat on the ground.
01:56:04.000 And we were kind of worried like at any moment he could die.
01:56:07.000 I mean, we've artificially lengthened his life as long as we can.
01:56:10.000 He's got a defective heart.
01:56:11.000 He's got defective kidneys and he's young, but this is, you know, eat garbage and live in the street.
01:56:16.000 Maybe when he was younger, he ate some chemical or who knows.
01:56:19.000 And so we came up and he was sitting there.
01:56:23.000 And so I thought to myself, you know what?
01:56:24.000 He's on a special diet for his kidneys.
01:56:28.000 But it's looking really bad.
01:56:30.000 He really, he eats, he's hungry, that's good, that's a good sign, but he's not putting on weight.
01:56:36.000 So I thought we should give him some raw beef.
01:56:39.000 Because he really, really, when he came up here, he was trying to eat the biltong like crazy, but he can't eat it, it's salted and it's spiced.
01:56:45.000 And I was like, he's showing signs of like, this may be the end.
01:56:49.000 End of life, yeah.
01:56:50.000 And so if he loves beef, he's got his last meal coming, buddy.
01:56:54.000 And so we gave him a chunk of raw beef, he ate it, He's looking better.
01:56:58.000 And I have read studies about feeding cats raw meat, because it's literally what they eat.
01:57:02.000 And so I'm hoping, and it may be a stupid thing to hope, that if he is about to die, and I'm going to give him some good food before he goes and let him fill his belly with raw meat like he'd love to eat, I'm happy he gets it.
01:57:13.000 But I'm kind of hoping that maybe that, that... Kickstarts him.
01:57:16.000 Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, that just eats it, and it helps him put, put weight back on or something.
01:57:22.000 And so I looked into what is the lowest phosphorus meat, because that's, that's what you got to watch out for, for his kidney problem, and it's beef.
01:57:27.000 Yeah.
01:57:28.000 And so I was like, straight up, non-salted, low-sodium, just regular old raw beef, and he went nuts for it.
01:57:35.000 I'm hoping that keeps him eating, and I'm hoping the raw meat is better for him and helps him put weight back on.
01:57:39.000 But, uh, if not, then I'm just happy that, uh... He had a good end.
01:57:43.000 He had a good last meal of the raw meat.
01:57:46.000 Because this stuff, we feed him for his kidney diet.
01:57:48.000 It's little, you know, dry pellets.
01:57:52.000 And then he's got this canned food that looks like garbage.
01:57:56.000 And he eats it, but he just, like, you know.
01:57:58.000 Why would you not just want something good?
01:58:00.000 I've got the Liver King's beef liver supplement pill.
01:58:03.000 And every once in a while, I was pulling, undoing a capsule and putting a little powder on it.
01:58:06.000 Man, he goes nuts for that beef.
01:58:08.000 He wants it.
01:58:09.000 You should get all the Liver King's growth hormones, dude.
01:58:12.000 Shout out to Liver King.
01:58:14.000 You just get absolutely jacked like that, dude.
01:58:17.000 You should do it.
01:58:18.000 That'd be great.
01:58:19.000 Get like a supercharged vehicle and just get super jacked.
01:58:22.000 It'd be great.
01:58:23.000 I'd love to see it.
01:58:24.000 And just claim liver and clean eating the entire time.
01:58:26.000 We'll get you some cream and clear, you can take a bath.
01:58:29.000 I'm gonna do a liver cleanse I'll tell you guys about on another show.
01:58:32.000 Phobes says, Hey Josh, it's simple.
01:58:34.000 Just asked him whether Libertarians should vote for Dick Cheney if he were the Libertarian nominee.
01:58:38.000 That's a funny joke.
01:58:39.000 Yeah, but like, No, that's a funny joke because Dave Smith asked Nick Sarwark, the prior chair of the LNC, who I was at war with, on his show, do you think libertarians should vote for Dick Cheney if he's the nominee?
01:58:53.000 And he said, Hitler, Hillary Clinton, anybody.
01:58:57.000 Yes, they have an obligation as a libertarian to vote for them because it helps the libertarian party.
01:59:01.000 And that's kind of where- Nick Sarwark is very dumb.
01:59:04.000 That's why we took over the party.
01:59:05.000 I mean, Nick Sarwark was the reason why we took over.
01:59:07.000 One of my favorite points to make was I constantly hear these Trump supporters, conservatives in general, say, if the Libertarians just voted for Trump in 2020, then Trump would be the president.
01:59:17.000 And I said, Libertarians don't like the Republican Party.
01:59:21.000 They have this worldview, not all of them, but many of them, that Libertarians We are conservatives.
01:59:27.000 And we owe our vote to the Republicans too, that's the other thing.
01:59:30.000 And it's like, I'm like, Libertarians don't like 90% of what Republicans do.
01:59:34.000 I don't understand why they would want to vote for you.
01:59:36.000 A lot of us were Republicans, and in fact, modern Libertarians today came from the Ron Paul movement, okay?
01:59:41.000 And like, we watched them arrest our caucus members at caucuses around the country for Ron Paul.
01:59:47.000 We watched them change the national convention rules to keep delegates out.
01:59:51.000 Like, we're not going back.
01:59:52.000 We got one more, it's a good one.
01:59:54.000 Rah Gidnuk says last.
01:59:56.000 Anywho, you must get Rebaport on Timcast.
01:59:59.000 Give him platform and expand viewers.
02:00:00.000 Please, he's hilarious and I'd love to hear him rant about Pig Dick Trump and Cadaver Joe for two hours.
02:00:05.000 I'm sure not alone in desiring that.
02:00:08.000 So we've reached out to his agent and we are trying to get him on the Culture War.
02:00:14.000 I think it would be two hours of laughing.
02:00:17.000 I think we'd be laughing the whole time.
02:00:19.000 You know, for the people who don't like Trump... He's so funny.
02:00:21.000 Yeah, I gotta say, for all the people who really hate Trump, he's a funny guy and self-aware.
02:00:29.000 So I feel like it wouldn't be this thing where we're just yelling at each other about being wrong.
02:00:33.000 I think we'd be laughing our asses off with everything he says.
02:00:36.000 He's been funny for years.
02:00:38.000 I would really I would really enjoy that.
02:00:39.000 So I hope I hope he gets back to us and made a whole career off of being a bad actor.
02:00:46.000 Like literally that was like his whole shtick is like I know I'm a bad actor.
02:00:49.000 I act bad in movies on purpose now because that's who I am.
02:00:52.000 He was in my favorite movie true romance.
02:00:54.000 It's like my very favorite movie ever made.

02:02:06.000 It's so good!
02:02:07.000 We'll have the mix hopefully in the next couple weeks.
02:02:10.000 I got one more trip to finish up two more songs, and then we got to do some vocals and stuff, but... Are you going heavier or softer?
02:02:17.000 Well, now it's all acoustic now.
02:02:20.000 Dude!
02:02:21.000 Can we play it on the show?
02:02:23.000 No, no, it's his fault for asking that.
02:02:27.000 Once we've launched, you want to play it on the show?
02:02:29.000 It's not acoustic, I'm kidding.
02:02:31.000 We should do an acoustic album.
02:02:33.000 Can you do an acoustic version?
02:02:34.000 That'd be pretty savage if we did that.
02:02:36.000 We can do a couple songs.
02:02:37.000 We've done two weeks acoustic.
02:02:38.000 We've done Forever in Your Hands acoustic.
02:02:41.000 We've done a couple of them acoustic.
02:02:42.000 We can get away with it, but not every one.
02:02:44.000 I'll just say this before we jump to Libby, but I've heard the songs and I'm just like, I was talking to Allison and I was like, when did Phil show us all this?
02:03:00.000 Like I was, we were playing it.
02:03:01.000 Like Phil's like, here's a sample and I'm playing it in the house in my playlist before anyone can hear it.
02:03:06.000 I'm honored to be able to do it.
02:03:07.000 But, dude, you gotta release it.
02:03:08.000 I'm excited for it.
02:03:10.000 Really, the thing is, it's just a matter of getting everything done.
02:03:12.000 Everybody's got a bunch of things they've got going on, moving pieces, getting our drummer, getting time and stuff.
02:03:18.000 But it's coming.
02:03:19.000 It's almost done.
02:03:20.000 We've got, like, just a couple more things to finish up.
02:03:22.000 Did you get the drummer to play a disco beat?
02:03:24.000 No.
02:03:24.000 You have a drummer that plays classic with, like, the... Not anymore.
02:03:28.000 All right.
02:03:29.000 Libby.
02:03:29.000 I haven't seen you in a while.
02:03:30.000 Sorry.

02:03:36.000 My album is dropping in just a couple weeks.
02:03:38.000 All right.

02:03:45.000 CD release.

02:03:47.000 Any guest spots from Ben Shapiro?
02:03:50.000 No, Ben Shapiro won't be there, sadly.
02:03:53.000 It's an album of Libby reading quotes from famous philosophers and political pundits for two hours.
02:04:00.000 And, you know, on the B side, it's just me doing some Ibsen monologues from Dollhouse.

02:05:01.000 That's going to be great.
02:05:01.000 So it's going to be a debate conversation about election integrity.
02:05:03.000 I've been doing research, man.
02:05:05.000 And when you start going down the rabbit hole of finding names of people that work at companies that work with companies, it's like, Whoa, what are the ethics of calling out these people?
02:05:13.000 Destiny does not know what he's getting himself into.
02:05:15.000 Dude, this is going to be the hottest event Cincinnati has seen in winter in a long time.
02:05:20.000 He's not going to be able to handle debating Ian.
02:05:22.000 Yeah, Steve Bonnell.
02:05:22.000 So it's a debate conversation.
02:05:23.000 We'll see where it flows.
