Transcript

00:00:03.000 A National Guardsman saw an illegal immigrant stabbing people and he shot him.
00:00:09.000 The illegal immigrant fled.
00:00:11.000 This is a crazy story.
00:00:13.000 And, man, today's just an insane amount of news.
00:00:17.000 I mean, we've been having a slow couple of weeks.
00:00:20.000 And now it's just getting nuts.
00:00:21.000 I mean, Israel fired over 300 drones and missiles at Israel.
00:00:27.000 Most of them intercepted, although a handful, I believe around five, did strike Israeli military targets in Israel.
00:00:33.000 Israel is vowing to retaliate.
00:00:36.000 Russia is warning the U.S.
00:00:37.000 if they get involved, Russia will enter the war on the side of Iran.
00:00:41.000 And then we have Donald Trump.
00:00:43.000 The first ever criminal trial for a former president, and the judge warned him that if he doesn't show up for every day, he will go to jail.
00:00:51.000 He can't even go see his son graduate.
00:00:54.000 This, of course, as Trump gave a statement, he should be campaigning.
00:00:59.000 But he can't, because he is being kept in this criminal proceeding.
00:01:03.000 Now, the interesting thing is, the charges against Trump would normally be a misdemeanor, and for reasons that have not been disclosed, and no one really knows why, the DA in Manhattan said, nah, this time it's a felony, because there's an underlying crime that no one knows about, and we're not charging him with, and no one else is either.
00:01:18.000 So when Trump says, this is like a witch hunt, it's hard to think otherwise.
00:01:22.000 So, oh man.
00:01:23.000 We're gonna have to go through all of these stories, plus, uh, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the Rust Armorer from the movie set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed that woman, was sentenced to 18 months.
00:01:33.000 Which means Alec Baldwin, surely!
00:01:36.000 Should we go to prison any minute?
00:01:37.000 Any minute.
00:01:38.000 We'll see.
00:01:39.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee!
00:01:42.000 Because it's really good coffee.
00:01:44.000 Appalachian Nights, of course, is the most popular.
00:01:46.000 Everyone loves it.
00:01:47.000 But we do have other blends.
00:01:48.000 We've got Rise with Roberto Jr.
00:01:49.000 It's a light roast.
00:01:50.000 Rise with Roberto Jr.
00:01:52.000 It's a going-away sale.
00:01:54.000 If you use promo code ALLCAPS at the end, you'll get it for seven bucks, which is like 60% off or something.
00:02:01.000 So, uh, definitely pick up, uh, ReRise with Roberto Jr.
00:02:04.000 We ordered a ton of these bags for Halloween.
00:02:06.000 The coffee is brewed, uh, periodically, so it's not, like, all at once, but we do want to just kind of get rid of the Halloween blend, so the end is the promo code, buy it all, and then it's gone forever.
00:02:16.000 And of course, when you support Cast Brew, what we're doing, we're building a physical location in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and we are actively working on expanding into multiple locations already.
00:02:27.000 This project has been underway for quite some time.
00:02:29.000 The idea is that we will have a physical presence all over the country with your help and involvement.
00:02:34.000 But ultimately, it's about physical locations where people can network, because networking is one of the most important things in winning a culture war.

00:03:30.000 It's, it's, it's great.
00:03:31.000 Very cinematic.
00:03:32.000 Higher quality lights and the cameras are more flattering.

00:03:45.000 Joining us tonight to talk about all of this and so much more is Harmeet Dhillon.
00:03:50.000 Yeah, happy to be here today.
00:03:52.000 Who are you, Harmeet?
00:03:53.000 What do you do?
00:03:54.000 I am a lawyer.
00:03:55.000 I'm the founder of the Center for American Liberty and the Dillon Law Group.
00:03:59.000 I've been practicing law for about 32 years now.
00:04:02.000 And I'm a knitter.
00:04:04.000 I knit the sweater that I'm wearing today.
00:04:06.000 I'm debuting it in the media today on your show.
00:04:09.000 And I'm actively involved in a number of issues in the news.
00:04:13.000 So I represent President Trump in multiple cases.
00:04:16.000 I represented him in California with Stormy Daniels in the civil cases.
00:04:19.000 Won him a bunch of money there.
00:04:21.000 And I'm following the current case with interest and I've been honored to represent him in his campaign as well.
00:04:26.000 It will be interesting, this criminal case against Trump right now, because it relates to Stormy Daniels, who owes Trump money.
00:04:33.000 owes him money, thanks to the work that my firm did.
00:04:35.000 About $600,000 was the judgments, and then she had a little bit against him.
00:04:40.000 So, net, she owes him several hundred thousand dollars and has said she'll pay him over her dead body.
00:04:45.000 And so, yeah, I think that's gonna be some interesting impeachment testimony when she testifies in the criminal trial.
00:04:52.000 The fact that she owes him a lot of money and has done so for many years is definitely motive to shape her testimony.
00:04:59.000 It's gonna be real interesting.
00:04:59.000 Interesting.
00:05:00.000 Right on.
00:05:00.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.
00:05:01.000 Libby Emmons is here.
00:05:02.000 I'm Libby Emmons.
00:05:03.000 I'm hanging out.
00:05:03.000 I am the editor-in-chief of The Postmillennial.
00:05:06.000 I'm glad to be on with Hermit.
00:05:08.000 I'm a big fan.
00:05:09.000 I'm interested in your work, so glad to be here.
00:05:11.000 Yeah, I think we last saw you at Turning Point.
00:05:13.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:05:14.000 2023, when I was running for RNC chair.
00:05:17.000 That's right.
00:05:18.000 So glad you're here.
00:05:18.000 Thank you.
00:05:19.000 Good to see you again.
00:05:20.000 Ian Crossland, also very happy to be here.
00:05:22.000 And we got Serge over to my right.
00:05:23.000 Yo!
00:05:24.000 Hello, everybody.
00:05:25.000 Good to see you guys.
00:05:26.000 Hope you enjoy the show.
00:05:26.000 Let's get into it.
00:05:27.000 And just real quick, I mean, with Ronna McDaniel out, imagine if they just voted for you, you were there, they would have avoided this whole fiasco.
00:05:36.000 Well, I'm trying to be nice.
00:05:40.000 It was a tense time there at the RNC.
00:05:42.000 We do have new leadership there now.
00:05:43.000 For me as a citizen, it's really life and death for many people what happens in this election coming up.
00:05:56.000 You know, how the RNC is run affects election integrity issues.
00:05:59.000 It affects our readiness to ballot harvest and things like that.
00:06:02.000 So I hope and pray that we're able to catch up to what the left has done over the next few months.
00:06:07.000 Who's running it right now?
00:06:08.000 We'll get into it.
00:06:09.000 We'll just jump into the news.
00:06:11.000 We have this story from The Post Millennial.
00:06:13.000 Illegal immigrant stabs two others, flees back to Mexico after being shot by National Guardsmen.
00:06:19.000 The two who were stabbed received non-life-threatening injuries.
00:06:23.000 So, uh, there's a lot of news over the weekend, of course, uh, Iran striking Israel.
00:06:27.000 We're currently waiting to see if Israel respond, but, uh, this story, of course, has been bubbling up, and I think this one, uh, affecting our southern border and involving a National Guardsman shooting an illegal immigrant, I think, is, is a, uh, I don't know, I mean, is this...
00:06:43.000 Crossing the Rubicon or is this just... To me it seems like we've gone from illegal immigrants attacking National Guard and then being let into the country to now National Guard have... This is it.
00:06:54.000 We were hearing stories about the National Guard requesting the ability to open fire on illegal immigrants if they need to and now it's happened.
00:07:04.000 So maybe this is just a flash in the pan, nothing else happens, but it certainly seems like conflict on the southern border is bubbling up.
00:07:12.000 This could be a shot heard around the world kind of thing where the National Guard just shot a guy trying to break into the country.
00:07:19.000 Well, and what does it mean for other people who are trying to cross into the country?
00:07:23.000 Are they going to be looking at this saying, I'm taking my life into my hands by approaching these National Guard and I need to be armed myself, you know?
00:07:30.000 How would they know because they're like, you know, being smuggled into the country and I'm not sure they're scanning Twitter.
00:07:38.000 So I think it would take a while for that to filter back.
00:07:43.000 And also it depends on what the reaction of our government is.
00:07:46.000 The last time we had something even close to this happen, the National Guard was castigated.
00:07:52.000 Our law enforcement officials were castigated for allegedly using horse whips on these aliens, which they were not.
00:07:58.000 And now I think when you see Like, suburban, sunny San Diego, you see a boat pull up on the beach and dozens of people come out of it.
00:08:08.000 I think the Overton window of Americans' tolerance for what's happening at the border is actually shifting.
00:08:13.000 Let's play this video, actually.
00:08:16.000 We have the video here.
00:08:17.000 Libs of TikTok posted it.
00:08:18.000 This reportedly happened yesterday in Carlsbad, California.
00:08:21.000 A group of mostly military-age males invaded our country illegally via boat and then disbursed to the city in cars.
00:08:27.000 Are any of them on the terror watch list?
00:08:28.000 Do any of them have a criminal history?
00:08:29.000 We don't know.
00:08:30.000 We have no clue who is in our country.
00:08:32.000 Take a look at this.
00:08:39.000 This is nuts.
00:08:39.000 They outright abandoned the boat.
00:08:43.000 There's a lot of people on that boat.
00:08:44.000 It's like a clown car.
00:08:46.000 Watch this.
00:08:47.000 It's like a clown car.
00:08:49.000 It's crazy.
00:08:51.000 Let's see.
00:08:52.000 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
00:08:54.000 There's 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
00:08:55.000 There still might be people climbing out.
00:09:01.000 Those guys could have, like, explosives strapped to their chests.
00:09:04.000 This has got to be, like, 18, uh, 20 people on the one boat.
00:09:07.000 They abandoned it.
00:09:08.000 The crazy thing.
00:09:11.000 Carlsbad is one of the wealthier areas.
00:09:13.000 That's what I'm saying, is like, you don't see that.
00:09:16.000 You see, oh, the Tijuana border, you see people coming over there.
00:09:19.000 You do not see this on the beaches of California.
00:09:21.000 That's like our Rubicon, as you say.
00:09:24.000 Like, that does not happen.
00:09:25.000 I may be mistaken, because it's been, you know, 10 years since I covered this, but during the drought in the 2010s, Carlsbad was one of the areas where the people were demanding the right to water their lawns during a drought.
00:09:37.000 Oh yeah, this is a wealthy upscale coastal community and there are tech companies there now.
00:09:44.000 This is not what anybody who's paying taxes there wants to see in their neighborhood, I'm telling you.
00:09:48.000 They're gonna vote for Trump, they have to.
00:09:50.000 Well, I don't know about that.
00:09:51.000 Let's not get crazy here.
00:09:53.000 But I think people are not crazy.
00:09:55.000 I mean, I can tell you in San Francisco, you know, the Karens are suddenly like, well, what's going on?
00:10:02.000 Like people are pooping on my doorstep and you know, this is not cool.
00:10:05.000 So people really are losing their tolerance when it's happening on their doorstep.
00:10:08.000 There's a wild viral video.
00:10:10.000 I don't have it pulled up, but it's a lady who's like reaching her hand through a smashed window trying to take stuff out of a store.
00:10:16.000 That is crazy in Sacramento.
00:10:17.000 Yeah, in Sacramento.
00:10:18.000 And the cops ride by and stop and look at her and then they just leave.
00:10:22.000 They look at her for a minute and they, yeah, they just keep going.
00:10:25.000 Now, I don't, the video, in the video, I don't know if she smashes the window, but she's like rifling her through the window, grabbing stuff.
00:10:34.000 And then she walks, walks away from the stairs and is like grabbing stuff in the front of the building, moving bricks.
00:10:39.000 And the cops just look at her and then leave.
00:10:41.000 No question.
00:10:41.000 Just okay.
00:10:42.000 She's good.
00:10:43.000 Not getting involved.
00:10:44.000 Yep.
00:10:46.000 You know, you said in the intro that voting for Trump for some people is life or death.
00:10:53.000 I think for this country it's life or death.
00:10:54.000 That's what I meant to say is that we are every day seeing things we took for granted completely eroded.
00:11:01.000 I'm seeing the way that judges predictably used to rule.
00:11:05.000 They're going the opposite direction for purely political reasons.
00:11:08.000 And so, you know, the rule of law is eroding on a daily basis in our country.
00:11:12.000 Well, here's a cra- I mean, this is crazy.
00:11:14.000 There's that Apple River, like we're jumping all over the place, but there was that Apple River story in Wisconsin.
00:11:18.000 You see that one?
00:11:19.000 I was looking at- I was listening to Law of Self-Defense.
00:11:23.000 He's been on the show.
00:11:25.000 And he said- I'm drawing a blank on his name, forgive me.
00:11:29.000 You know, if you're an older guy with a pacemaker, you're surrounded by a bunch of people screaming at you, attacking you, you have a right to defend yourself.
00:11:34.000 And I'm thinking to myself, well, then why is he going to prison?
00:11:37.000 Why did a judge convict him?
00:11:39.000 Or why did a jury or judge or whoever convict him?
00:11:43.000 I just see more and more... I'm not a lawyer, but it looks to me, based on what I'm seeing in the courts, that it feels like this country is rapidly devolving into people... I've described this among the political class.
00:11:58.000 The Titanic has hit the iceberg, so they're rushing to steal all the fine china they can and get into a lifeboat and leave before people realize the ship is sinking.
00:12:05.000 And so, I see what appears to be judges where they're just either hyper-partisan, Totally on board with whatever lie or whatever, you know, like everything against Trump, or outright just don't know, don't care, just it doesn't matter, just get in my courtroom, bang the gavel, you're done.
00:12:20.000 Yeah, well, what you're actually seeing is even before that, it's the prosecutors.
00:12:24.000 So over the last two decades, Soros has managed to purchase the prosecutors in major cities throughout the United States, including in places you wouldn't have expected.
00:12:33.000 And the net result of that is that they usually ignore crime that affects most of us, and then they selectively prosecute crime for political purposes to shame people, to change the outcome of people's behavior.
00:12:44.000 You're seeing that in Alvin Bragg's case this week in New York.
00:12:48.000 You're seeing it in Philadelphia.
00:12:50.000 You're seeing it in Wisconsin.
00:12:52.000 Where we're going to be having the RNC meeting, the National Convention in Milwaukee, is that kind of prosecutorial setup.
00:13:00.000 So you wonder, if people attack us, if Antifa attacks people going to the convention, who's going to get prosecuted?
00:13:06.000 Because I can guarantee you some of them are going to fight back.
00:13:09.000 Well, you know, we're planning on being at the RNC, but the DNC is in Chicago and I wouldn't, I wouldn't, there's nothing that would convince me to go to Chicago during the DNC.
00:13:19.000 You saw the video from over the weekend, it was activists in Chicago learning how to say death to America, death to Israel in Farsi.
00:13:27.000 At a meeting that was designed to teach everyone how to disrupt the DNC.
00:13:31.000 I mean look, that's the other big story.
00:13:32.000 I'm like trying to get through all these stories in the intro to the show.
00:13:35.000 We had waves of pro-Palestine and some pro-Hamas protesters shutting down bridges and airports all across the country.
00:13:42.000 It was a day of action.
00:13:44.000 Oh man.
00:13:45.000 And I think it was, I saw something about how it might have been funded by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or whatever.
00:13:52.000 Oh, that would be crazy.
00:13:53.000 Yeah, isn't that sort of nuts?
00:13:54.000 But I mean, we're seven and a half minutes into the first segment.
00:13:58.000 We've gone from National Guardsman shoots illegal immigrant to crime in the streets.
00:14:03.000 Now we're criminal prosecutions and now Hamas and Iranian funded protests in the United States.
00:14:09.000 Jeez, what happened this weekend?
00:14:10.000 It's like a switch was flicked.
00:14:11.000 To specify on this post-millennial article, did you write this about the... No, I didn't.
00:14:15.000 I think this was Tommy.
00:14:16.000 It said that he stabbed two people?
00:14:18.000 Yeah.
00:14:18.000 The guy came across the border illegally and then he cut two people?
00:14:21.000 Is that what it was?
00:14:21.000 Yeah, he was stabbing two people.
00:14:23.000 It's true, he put it in them.
00:14:25.000 Yeah.
00:14:26.000 The tip of the blade, that's a stab as opposed to a slash across which would get cut.
00:14:30.000 And then the guy opened fire on him after he saw him attempt murder.
00:14:33.000 So it's not like he shot an illegal, a criminal alien.
00:14:36.000 I mean, technically, he shot an attempted murderer.
00:14:41.000 This was always the point.
00:14:44.000 At what point does the violence start?
00:14:48.000 We've seen photos and videos of cartel guys with rifles smuggling humans across the border.
00:14:54.000 And then Republicans had that bill where they were requesting authorization for the National Guard to use lethal force if need be.
00:15:01.000 Lot of concern that we would get to the point where there would be active conflict on the border.
00:15:06.000 Now, this may be one crazy guy doing one crazy thing, and sooner or later was bound to happen.
00:15:12.000 But again, this is, you know...
00:15:15.000 In the world, it's only possible until someone proves it's possible.
00:15:19.000 There's quite literally a trick in skateboarding called IMPOSSIBLE.
00:15:22.000 Now, you don't have to know anything about skateboarding, but let me tell you this.
00:15:25.000 There's a trick in skateboarding called THE IMPOSSIBLE, which is one of the most commonly done maneuvers ever, and it was because back in the day, one of the big names in the industry said doing this trick would be impossible, so then some guy did it, and now it's so common, children do it.
00:15:40.000 My point is, people think it's not possible to get to the point where the National Guard is opening fire on waves of criminal aliens storming the gates or something like that.
00:15:48.000 Now we have a National Guardsman shooting a guy, shooting an illegal immigrant.
00:15:53.000 It is entirely possible this escalates, it is entirely possible the National Guard shoots someone else, and that's the concern.
00:15:59.000 Is this that breaking point where it's like, oh man, like our border is so damaged now, we actually just had a National Guardsman shoot a guy!
00:16:08.000 What happens if this gets worse?
00:16:09.000 What happens if now, the cartel's showing up saying, hey, if you bring someone and that person acts up, they're gonna shoot at you.
00:16:16.000 You need to be prepared.
00:16:17.000 What does that mean?
00:16:18.000 Do they wear body armor now?
00:16:20.000 Do they change their tactics?
00:16:21.000 Does this result in the escalation?
00:16:24.000 It could do.
00:16:25.000 I keep wondering if we've already passed that point that in history books, they're going to say, you know, this was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
00:16:32.000 You know, I keep wondering about that.
00:16:34.000 Could be.
00:16:34.000 Was it this?
00:16:35.000 Was it Iran shooting missiles at?
00:16:35.000 Iran.
00:16:37.000 Nobody knows, man.
00:16:38.000 Was it October 7th?
00:16:38.000 Israel?
00:16:40.000 Was it before that?
00:16:41.000 Was it the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan?
00:16:44.000 You know, was it Biden unfreezing the $16 billion to Iran?
00:16:51.000 Let's pull up the next story, because wow.
00:16:54.000 Talk about the news.
00:16:55.000 From Axios, Israel vows to retaliate against Iran for missile attacks.
00:17:00.000 I'll give you the quick version.
00:17:01.000 Over the weekend, you may have seen what happened, 300, over 300 drones and missiles were fired from Iran, from Houthi rebels and other militia groups.
00:17:10.000 At Israel directly, flying over Iraq and Jordan.
00:17:15.000 Jordan, I believe their Air Force moved to intercept some of these.
00:17:19.000 There were multiple layers of Israeli defense to take out many of these rockets and missiles.
00:17:25.000 The U.S.
00:17:25.000 deployed ships, which actually I believe also intercepted some of these.
00:17:29.000 Around five actually struck Israel.
00:17:33.000 Now, there was some reporting earlier, people were saying that Biden's administration provided guidance to Iran.
00:17:38.000 The story was that through Turkey, the Biden administration warned Iran that if they cross a certain line, that would be like a red line or something.
00:17:50.000 But the US is denying they in any way gave any advance information or anything like that.
00:17:53.000 And I think it's a silly point, unless we have more direct evidence as to what was said, because Trump had also threatened Iran, if you do X we will obliterate you, which is like setting the guidelines.
00:18:02.000 I don't think that matters.
00:18:04.000 What matters...
00:18:05.000 Is that Iran directly attacked Israel?
00:18:09.000 Nation on nation.
00:18:11.000 Israel is now vowing to retaliate.
00:18:13.000 Biden has already said support for Israel is ironclad.
00:18:16.000 We'll defend them.
00:18:17.000 Vladimir Putin warned the U.S.
00:18:19.000 not to get involved and said they would back Iran if this escalates.
00:18:22.000 So, of course, following this, World War III was trending again.
00:18:26.000 Now here's the thing.
00:18:27.000 Libya was just mentioning a second ago that, you know, where's this Franz Ferdinand moment?
00:18:31.000 What's this shot heard around the world?
00:18:33.000 And the issue is it could have happened six months ago.
00:18:36.000 It could have been Ukraine.
00:18:37.000 We honestly have no idea.
00:18:38.000 We're in the thick of it.
00:18:39.000 We won't know until 50 to 100 years from now when they write the history books on World War III.
00:18:44.000 Some people are saying it was when Israel attacked the embassy in Damascus.
00:18:49.000 That was an attack on Iranian soil because that's the embassy.
00:18:52.000 And then you have other people saying, that's because an Iranian general who was facilitating the Hamas attacks on Israel was there and he was a target in their active war against Hamas.
00:19:02.000 It's impossible to know when this started.
00:19:04.000 I don't know.
00:19:06.000 I didn't know you could declare war on a group of people.
00:19:09.000 That's a weird new thing that never existed before.
00:19:11.000 What do you mean?
00:19:12.000 9-11's, war on terror, war on drugs.
00:19:14.000 It used to be a national, a sovereignty would declare war on another sovereignty.
00:19:18.000 There were no war on terror, war against this type of person.
00:19:21.000 Right, those are fake.
00:19:22.000 Yeah, these wars to get the guy that thinks that way is like, what the hell?
00:19:25.000 What are you talking about here?
00:19:27.000 What does that have to do with war?
00:19:28.000 Going to war with Hamas.
00:19:29.000 Like, tomorrow, nine new guys could join Hamas.
00:19:32.000 Then what?
00:19:32.000 Does the war just go on tomorrow again too?
00:19:34.000 What about in a year if more guys join Hamas?
00:19:36.000 They're at war with Gaza.
00:19:38.000 What if the war causes more people to join Hamas?
00:19:41.000 Then do they just keep fighting forever?
00:19:43.000 Is that the life?
00:19:43.000 We're talking specifically about Gaza.
00:19:44.000 I think it's nonsense.
00:19:45.000 And Hamas is the government of Gaza.
00:19:46.000 They're a government of a territory.
00:19:49.000 Right, so Israel is at war with another government.
00:19:52.000 What are the dudes from Hamas doing in other countries?
00:19:54.000 Aren't there people like the heads of Hamas in Pakistan living healthily?
00:19:57.000 In Qatar and other countries.
00:19:59.000 What are they doing?
00:19:59.000 Why are they not taking them out if that's what they want to do?
00:20:01.000 Because they don't want to die in Israel's attacks on Gaza.
00:20:05.000 They're cowards.
00:20:06.000 They're putting their own people at risk and they are sitting in five-star hotels.
00:20:11.000 Why doesn't the Israeli government take them out with drones if they're in foreign countries and they're the targets?
00:20:15.000 Like foreign countries?
00:20:16.000 Harboring terrorists, yeah.
00:20:18.000 Then you're attacking countries with their own military allegiances with their neighbors.
00:20:24.000 That escalates war.
00:20:25.000 That is an escalation which is, I think, they're trying to phase that kind of escalation.
00:20:31.000 The United States has military personnel in other countries doing the exact same thing.
00:20:35.000 So I agree the U.S.
00:20:36.000 can and should be talking with, say, like Qatar and other countries and saying, those guys need to be brought out because they're escalating this war.
00:20:46.000 I don't know exactly what's going on there.
00:20:47.000 Maybe there is something, maybe there isn't something.
00:20:49.000 It's not so easy to say Israel just goes into Qatar and then kills people.
00:20:52.000 That would be an act of war on Yeah, I mean they're in like five-star, they're like in the Four Seasons and places like that.
00:20:59.000 They're in the fancy hotels and these big towers.
00:21:02.000 There's no way to target them with a drone without killing a bunch of other people.
00:21:05.000 Have there been extradition attempts?
00:21:07.000 Yeah, that I'm sure there have been discussions about that, but I don't know anything about it.
00:21:11.000 I think it's a good point that the U.S.
00:21:12.000 could be doing more.
00:21:13.000 I don't know exactly what is going on, but what I can say is, in the bigger picture, asking, will this be World War III?
00:21:22.000 I don't know, I mean, NATO's at war with Russia and Ukraine.
00:21:25.000 It's possible that in 20 years they're like, oh, World War III started when Russia invaded the Donbass.
00:21:31.000 It was the, or it was the ousting of Yanukovych.
00:21:34.000 They'll say, oh man, the ousting of Yanukovych resulted in the fall of Ukraine.
00:21:38.000 Go read history, but this is really amazing.
00:21:39.000 You read Wikipedia, you read encyclopedia, and it will say things like, in 1941, so-and-so did this.
00:21:49.000 By 1943, this is what happened.
00:21:51.000 And you're like, yo, that was two years.
00:21:53.000 That was two years.
00:21:54.000 And these history books just jump because That's what they think mattered.
00:21:58.000 It may be as simple as with the ousting of Yanukovych in Ukraine, opening the door to creating a power vacuum, U.S.
00:22:05.000 NATO interests began vying for power in Kiev, resulting in Russia invading the Donbass to secure a land bridge to Crimea, igniting World War III.
00:22:15.000 It could very simply be when the president fled, World War III started.
00:22:18.000 Although now that we have a better understanding of how history books are written, we know that it's maybe not necessarily what they think actually happened, but there were perhaps lobbying interests as well.
00:22:28.000 We've seen lobbying interests in American publishing downplaying the concept of jihad, downplaying the atrocity of 9-11 and saying, you know, really negative things about Christians and about Judaism and saying, you know, trying to equivocate terrorism with Christianity and Judaism and balancing that out because of
00:22:51.000 oppressor colonialism and things like that. So you know in a lot of ways what it
00:22:56.000 says in the history books is going to be entirely dependent on who wins this
00:23:00.000 culture war that we've been in the throes of for at least a decade now.
00:23:07.000 Yeah, I would agree with that, that, you know, the historians of yore who are just trying to get to the facts, they don't exist anymore, and everything is polarized by the mainstream media.
00:23:17.000 And you have prominent leaders in our country today who deny that there was a Russia collusion, you know, hoax that happened in 2016, which, you know, is why anyone even knows anything about Ukraine.
00:23:31.000 Two-thirds of the American public wouldn't know anything about Ukraine.
00:23:34.000 If it didn't have to do with the Russia-Ukraine issues dating back to the 2016 election.
00:23:40.000 And then you look at, like, the Yuri Berliner situation where he was writing about NPR.
00:23:45.000 You know, the journalist at NPR who's saying NPR is hopelessly biased.
00:23:49.000 And he's one of these... Yeah, no duh.
00:23:50.000 Yeah, no duh.
00:23:51.000 But, like, he's one of these old-school guys who believes maybe we could just get back to basic journalism.
00:23:57.000 And it's like, guy, that has been long... No, that's naive.
00:24:01.000 That ship has sailed a long time ago.
00:24:03.000 Wikipedia says Spygate is a conspiracy theory.
00:24:06.000 Yeah, of course.
00:24:07.000 That Trump was spied on as a conspiracy theory, but even though it's been adjudicated and it is a fact.
00:24:12.000 Wikipedia is, of course, garbage and anybody who cites it is foolish.
00:24:16.000 Well, the current CEO of NPR used to run Wikipedia.
00:24:18.000 That's right.
00:24:18.000 She got $700,000 a year to do it.
00:24:20.000 Almost $800,000, like $799,000.
00:24:20.000 She got $700,000 a year to do it.
00:24:23.000 Almost 800, like $799,000.
00:24:23.000 It was like 700.
00:24:25.000 Something ridiculous, yeah.
00:24:26.000 Yeah.
00:24:27.000 And by the way, she wants us to believe she walks past people in first class and
00:24:31.000 notes their white maleness.
00:24:34.000 That's right.
00:24:35.000 I guess the question is, what do you guys think's going to happen?
00:24:37.000 Do you think Israel will retaliate?
00:24:39.000 Is it going to drag the U.S.
00:24:40.000 in, then Russia gets dragged in, and then China moves on Taiwan during the distraction?
00:24:45.000 World War III?
00:24:45.000 Hey, you see the price of gold?
00:24:48.000 Right.
00:24:49.000 You did have the US.
00:24:50.000 You had Biden say that any retaliation by Israel would not be supported by the US.
00:24:56.000 And you also had Israel say that they would retaliate.
00:24:59.000 So that's sort of an interesting spot.
00:25:01.000 Biden said we would not assist Israel.
00:25:04.000 Well, he said all kinds of things, depends on what time of day.
00:25:07.000 And who's speaking for him.
00:25:07.000 Right.
00:25:09.000 But, you know, Israel so far successfully, and they would say that's in air quotes, defended themselves.
00:25:15.000 But, you know, they can't live like that, having the fear of that 24 hours a day.
00:25:19.000 And that's why I'm sure they are going to take some targeted, responsive action.
00:25:26.000 I think if we just sit back and just narrate and watch, it'll be World War III, hell, nuclear, everything will die.
00:25:35.000 It will all come to an end.
00:25:36.000 But if we get active and create new cultural endeavors, people around the world will start overthrowing their totalitarian regimes.
00:25:44.000 The Chinese will create their republic again.
00:25:45.000 It'll have to start from the bottom up, and it's got to come from inspiration of young people.
00:25:51.000 I do have hope for the young people.
00:25:54.000 I don't disagree in the general concept of starting a new culture to try and change things, but I do believe that, like, you know, the car we're driving is shooting straight off the edge of the cliff.
00:26:06.000 Now, it's not a question of, can we stop the car from flying off the cliff?
00:26:09.000 It's, are our seatbelts on?
00:26:11.000 And for those of us that are- that's probably a bus, actually.
00:26:13.000 For those of us that are there, and expect to be roughed up in the tumble down the side of this cliff, after the bus crashes and shatters into a million pieces, and a good portion of us who are paying attention and are prepared to survive, what do we do next?
00:26:26.000 And so that culture is going to be very important, and I agree with you on that, but, you know, simple version is...
00:26:32.000 Yo, Iran attacked Israel.
00:26:34.000 You can make the argument Israel attacked Iran's embassy, but like, there's a war going on.
00:26:38.000 Iran is actively involved in supporting Hamas in Gaza.
00:26:43.000 Israel is at war with them, targeting their leadership, which is Iran.
00:26:45.000 Iran fires from their territory into Israeli territory.
00:26:48.000 There is no, wait guys, let's change the culture overnight to stop Israel from retaliating against Iran and igniting a World War III.
00:26:57.000 Maybe.
00:26:58.000 Maybe not.
00:26:58.000 I don't know.
00:26:59.000 I don't know how things work in reality, man.
00:27:00.000 I used to think it was just so literal, that everything was like, next step, we'll create the next step, we'll create the next step, and therefore the next thing will happen.
00:27:07.000 And now I'm realizing things are more sporadic than that.
00:27:11.000 Your behavior changes your entire environment, which has resounding implications on their entire environments, and it can overnight things.
00:27:18.000 People can have dreams and change their feelings and things.
00:27:21.000 So I have more faith that it's a more esoteric path.
00:27:24.000 Well, what's the possibility that Israel comes out with a statement saying, in the interest of not igniting an escalation which could lead to nuclear conflict, Israel will take the honorable position of bolstering its defenses and not retaliating on Iranian soil?
00:27:39.000 Is that possible?
00:27:40.000 Not for your government to survive.
00:27:42.000 I mean, I doubt it.
00:27:45.000 It's not realistic politically.
00:27:46.000 I mean, I'm sure that I understand that there was a meeting today, I don't know what the outcome of that was, of all the different political parties in Israel, probably looking for some kind of, you know, consensus on what is the appropriate step.
00:27:58.000 And there don't seem to be a lot of different shades of peaceniks over there who want to do nothing in response to this escalation by Iran.
00:28:05.000 The Iranian regime, I should say.
00:28:08.000 What's surprising to me as someone who's looked at history is, you know, we all lived in my youth in the Cold War, also living in fear of nuclear war.
00:28:18.000 And then the people in the Eastern Bloc overthrew their oppressors and the world changed.
00:28:24.000 And so now the military folks have to figure out some other targets and all of that.
00:28:29.000 But the Iranian people have lived under this repressive regime For so many decades now.
00:28:35.000 And that would be the simple solution, right?
00:28:37.000 The Iranian people change their government.
00:28:40.000 Boom.
00:28:40.000 Gold is skyrocketing.
00:28:42.000 And I don't know, a lot of people... You want to pull this up, Serge?
00:28:47.000 Yeah, so we have the gold chart.
00:28:49.000 And it's been pretty stable around $2,000 for quite some time.
00:28:54.000 How far back can we go?
00:28:55.000 Are we back five years?
00:28:56.000 You can see here in 2019 it was at $12,000.
00:28:58.000 Then it went up to $2,000.
00:29:00.000 Stayed generally in this area going down a little bit, but now it's up to $23,000.
00:29:04.000 I have no idea what that means.
00:29:06.000 I don't know.
00:29:06.000 People are just pointing out gold is shooting up and it may be that people are concerned about what's going to happen to the U.S.
00:29:13.000 dollar for a variety of reasons, not just World War III.
00:29:15.000 Right.
00:29:16.000 Yeah, but let's do this.
00:29:18.000 Let's jump to the next story.
00:29:18.000 We have this one from the Postmillennial once again.
00:29:21.000 Pro-Palestinian agitators block traffic at Chicago O'Hare Airport to protest Boeing, U.S.
00:29:27.000 funding of war in Gaza.
00:29:28.000 But it wasn't just in Chicago.
00:29:30.000 It was all over the country!
00:29:33.000 So in a coordinated effort, it would seem, Far left, pro-Palestine protesters, and even many pro-Hamas.
00:29:41.000 Yes, the left is gonna say, no, you can't say, literally screaming death to America at these protests.
00:29:47.000 You have a coordinated effort to shut down, to damage in some way, economics.
00:29:55.000 Maybe they don't intentionally, these people aren't thinking like I'm gonna hurt the economy, but I think the, what was it, like the Golden Gate was five hours backed up in both directions?
00:30:03.000 Yeah, there was the Golden Gate.
00:30:05.000 Brooklyn Bridge.
00:30:05.000 There was some issues on the Brooklyn Bridge.
00:30:06.000 Seattle, SeaTac as well.
00:30:08.000 Yeah, there was an issue also in a bridge in Newburgh, I think, just north of New York City, a little ways up the Hudson.
00:30:16.000 Yeah, and this is something that activists are planning for the whole week, you know, shut it down for Gaza for the whole week.
00:30:22.000 So it's kind of wild to me that Iran launches 300 drones and missiles at Israel and then the far left immediately runs out in support of or in opposition to Israel.
00:30:33.000 That doesn't surprise me at all.
00:30:35.000 That's the status quo of the left culture for years now.
00:30:39.000 It's just sort of...
00:30:41.000 The mask is no longer on their faces.
00:30:42.000 Well, you know, it's interesting.
00:30:43.000 Maybe it varies by city, and you mentioned that there might be some foreign funding for this, but I can tell you in the Bay Area there's no need for foreign funding for this kind of protest.
00:30:50.000 There are rent-a-mob losers, and I swear if you drilled in with a drone on who was there, It's the same people who are there for Occupy Wall Street.
00:31:01.000 It's the same people who are there for Black Lives Matter.
00:31:04.000 It's the same people who are there for whatever cause du jour of the left.
00:31:09.000 They're Chinese.
00:31:11.000 They're all kinds of rent-a-mob people.
00:31:14.000 So I think that's what it is in the Bay Area.
00:31:16.000 There's just a mob of just malcontents who someone pays a small amount of money to show up for any given left-wing cause.
00:31:22.000 We call them the tourists, that's what we called them during Occupy, because we noticed this strange pattern of the same organizers weren't just showing up all over the country, but they were in Spain, they were in Turkey, and they were in China.
00:31:33.000 And so we started saying, yeah, how does that hippie, anarchist guy sleeping in a park have money to go to Turkey?
00:31:40.000 And they were in Turkey for quite some time!
00:31:43.000 When I sued Antifa over attacking our client Andy Ngo, some of the characters who were involved in the mob that attacked him showed up fomenting Antifa riots in other parts of the country.
00:31:54.000 They were clearly well-funded, not ragtag, not from the heart.
00:31:58.000 This is an underground militia attacking Americans all over the country.
00:32:03.000 So a couple weeks ago I was talking about with the illegal immigrants storming the border and attacking National Guardsmen.
00:32:11.000 I fear that we are getting to the point where conservatives finally break confidence in government.
00:32:17.000 I would argue that conservatives are the only group of people that are actually maintaining the US government right now in that they have confidence in it.
00:32:24.000 The far left completely disregards it.
00:32:27.000 Default liberals march in lockstep with the leftist activists, whether they know it or don't, and their state governments, which are defying federal law, allowing criminal aliens to invade the border.
00:32:37.000 Then you have conservatives who are saying, yes sir, thank you sir, back the blue, oh, that dang old government.
00:32:43.000 Meanwhile, Antifa firebombs federal buildings, and there's mostly no response.
00:32:47.000 I mean, You look at January 6th, insanity.
00:32:50.000 You look at May 29th, nothing.
00:32:53.000 You look at Seattle, you look at the takeover of these cities, nothing.
00:32:57.000 So my fear is that with these attacks on the border, you get to the point where people on the right start saying, it's not an issue of attacking federal buildings or storming the gates, it's an issue of there's no government anymore.
00:33:08.000 Right.
00:33:08.000 Law enforcement is illegitimate.
00:33:10.000 They'll arrest you for fake reasons.
00:33:12.000 They're basically clown costumes at this point.
00:33:14.000 There's no respect for it.
00:33:15.000 My fear is that we get to the point where confidence in government is shattered in the minds of the right, and thus, though it would be in a different way, the right begins to act in a certain way, like Antifa, in disregard for government authority.
00:33:29.000 Well, I don't know how long it's going to take to reach that point.
00:33:32.000 I hope never.
00:33:32.000 But I will tell you that this week's debate over reauthorization of 702 is exactly that.
00:33:41.000 You see a very deep schism in the right on this issue.
00:33:44.000 And I've been tweeting about it because I'm more on the libertarian side on these issues.
00:33:48.000 I thought the Patriot Act was a huge mistake, and it was.
00:33:52.000 And today, conservatives are falling hook, line, and sinker, the conservatives in Congress, for these quote-unquote intelligence briefings that tell you the sky will fall if you have to go get a warrant from a judge.
00:34:03.000 Oh, we don't have enough judges.
00:34:04.000 Oh, there's like so many.
00:34:06.000 Oh, there's already one warrant that was issued.
00:34:08.000 And I know I'm going to piss off some of my friends in Congress.
00:34:09.000 They've been texting me and saying, Harmeet, what are you doing?
00:34:11.000 You're crazy, you know.
00:34:13.000 But this is the schism.
00:34:14.000 People no longer trust, on the right, that our government, the FBI, the CIA, the intelligence services, even the police in some cases, are going to quote-unquote do the right thing.
00:34:24.000 And that is very dangerous because then you're wondering, to protect your family, who's going to protect my family?
00:34:29.000 I mean, you know, in San Francisco, people have guns in their homes now.
00:34:33.000 They didn't have that five years ago.
00:34:35.000 This is a real problem.
00:34:36.000 You look at the issue of Daniel Penney, and that's why I fear that we could get to that point where the right just says, there's no government.
00:34:44.000 Daniel Penney, we've got, how many slashings in New York?
00:34:50.000 Oh, there's been so many.
00:34:51.000 People getting thrown, killed on the subway tracks.
00:34:56.000 We have become, in a way, in cities particularly, numb to violence.
00:35:01.000 It is really a problem.
00:35:04.000 And insensitive to the suffering of our neighbors and more insular in that sense.
00:35:08.000 Well, you don't even know your neighbors.
00:35:10.000 You have no idea who.
00:35:11.000 With the Apple River story is particularly important in that it's a regular person.
00:35:16.000 I remember, you know, 20 or so years ago.
00:35:19.000 When they were saying, terrorism!
00:35:20.000 You gotta be worried about the terrorism!
00:35:22.000 That's why we need the Patriot Act and all that.
00:35:25.000 The reports were that, no, no.
00:35:26.000 They'll strike small towns, the terrorists.
00:35:28.000 They'll come after, you know, Bumpkinville in the far suburbs, you know, because they want you to fear, no matter where you are, the terrorists will come for you.
00:35:36.000 They want to make sure that everyone feels it.
00:35:39.000 And so what I fear now, the direction that we're going, is that with the Apple River story, it's a regular guy who's surrounded by a bunch of young people screaming and yelling, shove him, smack him, knock him to the ground, he tries to stand up, they smack him, and then he pulls out a knife, he fights back, he goes to prison.
00:36:02.000 We have more and more stories like this.
00:36:03.000 This is why the Kyle Rittenhouse story was so important, and this is years ago.
00:36:07.000 If you cannot defend yourself from mobs, and we are now in the place where it's becoming more and more that you cannot.
00:36:15.000 We had the story out of Milwaukee where a guy's house, this is a couple years ago, BLM protesters were outside.
00:36:21.000 The same organizers had been involved in another protest which resulted in the arson twice of a home.
00:36:26.000 So this guy knows who these guys are in front of a house screaming, there's like dozens, and he brandishes a shotgun.
00:36:32.000 BLM calls the police.
00:36:32.000 They call the police.
00:36:34.000 The cops show up, pull him out of his house and arrest him.
00:36:37.000 And before that happened, I was warning people.
00:36:39.000 If the mob comes to your house and demands that you be arrested, the police will show up and say, what do we do?
00:36:47.000 We've got a hundred people threatening violence and one guy sitting on his couch watching a game.
00:36:52.000 Like the McCloskey.
00:36:52.000 Arrest the guy in the house.
00:36:54.000 It'll be easier.
00:36:56.000 We don't got to worry about violence and they'll all cheer for it.
00:36:58.000 And that's what they do.
00:36:59.000 It's like Fahrenheit 451.
00:37:01.000 The McCloskey's a good example.
00:37:03.000 The protesters break out of private property, these people are legally armed, and then they get criminally charged.
00:37:10.000 At some point, I fear, the right is just going to say, the police are clearly just a leftist criminal mafia enforcing the left.
00:37:18.000 If you're Daniel Penney, you go to jail.
00:37:19.000 If you're Daniel Perry, you go to jail.
00:37:21.000 That was the Austin guy, who had to do with a rifle come up to his car.
00:37:24.000 Not allowed to defend yourself, you go to jail.
00:37:26.000 He was pointing a rifle at him.
00:37:28.000 Well, he had the rifle at low ready, raising it up.
00:37:30.000 Well, it was right there.
00:37:31.000 Right.
00:37:32.000 A far left mob associated with organized factions who have shot and killed people before, had shot people in Provo, Utah.
00:37:39.000 And this guy sees it do with a rifle, walking up, raising it at low ready.
00:37:44.000 Masked guy.
00:37:45.000 OK, so this one simple trick could turn this around, which is conservatives investing in electing conservative prosecutors.
00:37:55.000 It used to be the case that all prosecutors were conservative.
00:37:58.000 I mean, who wants to represent the man except for someone who believes in law and order?
00:38:01.000 But with a relatively low amount of money, I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars to elect a DA, you can change this country.
00:38:09.000 And so The cops are reacting.
00:38:13.000 They're not themselves leftists, but they have become demoralized by two things.
00:38:17.000 One is defund the police, okay?
00:38:20.000 So to keep your job, you have to kind of be politically correct.
00:38:23.000 And number two is, why should I arrest criminals when the Marxist DA isn't going to prosecute them?
00:38:28.000 So those two factors have severely curtailed the effectiveness of the police, demoralized
00:38:33.000 them, strengthened the establishment types in there that just want to go along, get along,
00:38:39.000 and the result is a decreased quality of life.
00:38:41.000 Now, I see so much money.
00:38:43.000 One of the big things that frustrates me on the conservative side is I see so much money,
00:38:46.000 tens of millions of dollars annually poured into congressional campaigns that are in no
00:38:51.000 way in hell going to win.
00:38:52.000 I mean, I can name some, I don't want to embarrass anybody, but $10 million at a time for people who are blue districts.
00:38:58.000 If a fraction of that money was spent electing a district attorney in that same blue district, which by the way, a lot of Democrats would vote for because people want law and order in their communities, even Democrats, we could change this country.
00:39:10.000 But we have to get organized that way and get the grift out of our political side.
00:39:16.000 What I would disagree with you on in the police area is that Who are these cops who gleefully arrest Daniel Penny? So it's
00:39:24.000 one thing to say, I can't arrest this criminal. They're gonna let him go anyway. It's
00:39:28.000 another thing to be like, well, I know Daniel Penny did nothing wrong. He's a good Samaritan and a hero,
00:39:31.000 but I'll gladly be the one to arrest him.
00:39:33.000 That that I do not believe it's simply cops being demoralized.
00:39:38.000 I think many of the cops have been fired, removed.
00:39:41.000 I believe the system is growing increasingly corrupt.
00:39:43.000 We're talking about New York City, where the police leadership is politically appointed.
00:39:47.000 They're not going to let defiant cops stay.
00:39:50.000 So what you end up with is cops who will stand there as, you know, look at Sacramento.
00:39:55.000 A woman is seen rifling through a smashed window and the cops are just like, Not gonna get involved in that one, but you know what it is.
00:40:02.000 I call it a negative pressure environment.
00:40:05.000 Law-abiding citizens, namely conservatives, will gladly, with smiles on their faces, talk to the cops, give all the cops the information, everything they need.
00:40:13.000 The best example being New York and the Proud Boys, which I've brought up 8,000 times in the past week.
00:40:17.000 You're familiar with this, right?
00:40:18.000 Antifa and the Proud Boys fight.
00:40:20.000 Antifa refuses to talk to the cops.
00:40:22.000 The Proud Boys shake the hands of the officers and give them their information.
00:40:25.000 And then the cops smile, arrest the Proud Boys, and put them in prison for four years.
00:40:30.000 This is the negative pressure environment where cops are like, if I arrest the leftist, they'll fight me.
00:40:35.000 The conservative will get on their knees and smile as I beat them.
00:40:38.000 Well, I was in the mob in 2016 in San Jose when I did the Pledge of Allegiance at a Trump rally.
00:40:45.000 We leave the Trump rally and there's 250 cops there, supposedly.
00:40:49.000 My husband and I are shaking the hands of the cops saying, thank you for your service.
00:40:54.000 Turn the corner, there's a mob.
00:40:55.000 And the police stood there and watched these American citizens, taxpayers, exercising their First Amendment rights, get viciously assaulted.
00:41:02.000 I sued the San Jose Police Department in the city of San Jose.
00:41:05.000 And it was shocking to me, that was the turning point for me when I realized at least in big cities, blue cities, you cannot count on the police to come to your aid.
00:41:13.000 That's happening all over the country now, not just in blue cities.
00:41:16.000 And one of the most important things, certainly we can excuse some suburban police departments.
00:41:21.000 We can excuse many sheriff's departments with elected police leadership, but conservatives
00:41:25.000 need to be a anti big blue city cop.
00:41:29.000 100%.
00:41:30.000 If you're a blue city cop, you are persona non grata.
00:41:33.000 The same as the left.
00:41:34.000 There is no quarter.
00:41:36.000 You want to come into our coffee shop.
00:41:37.000 We're not going to serve you the same as they do because what happens then, and I'm talking
00:41:41.000 about the politically appointed departments where a Democrat appoints a police chief who
00:41:45.000 makes sure that only the people are marching in line with them, because then you'll get
00:41:48.000 a guy who's robbing liquor stores and the cops will be like, what's the point of arresting
00:41:53.000 Then you'll get a good Samaritan like Penny, and they'll say, now that's a guy I can arrest.
00:41:57.000 Stop supporting them.
00:42:00.000 They need to be told, you can't do this job.
00:42:02.000 No one will have your back.
00:42:03.000 No one will support you.
00:42:04.000 I'm not sure I agree with that.
00:42:06.000 I mean, there's a mixture of good cops and cops who have to feel like their hands are tied.
00:42:11.000 Where's a single cop to say, leave Daniel Penney alone?
00:42:15.000 How many cops were there?
00:42:17.000 No, no, I'm talking about right now, when you've got cops marching him to and from court, or how about Steve Baker and the FBI, all of these, and fine, federal law enforcement can say it's different, but you take a look at, there's always, There's always going to be cops in New York City who will gladly arrest the good guy.
00:42:37.000 And then there's the good cops who will stand by and watch and take a paycheck.
00:42:41.000 If you are part of a criminal organization that is committing crimes, I have no sympathy for you.
00:42:46.000 CBP has agents on the border trafficking children into sex slavery.
00:42:52.000 The CBP agent in West Virginia is in the same book as far as I'm concerned.
00:42:56.000 Well, that leads me to another legal issue, which I think it's arcane, but It is conservative judges who created the doctrine of qualified immunity that makes it impossible for citizens who are at the receiving end of police mistakes or worse to sue them and hold them accountable.
00:43:12.000 And that is an outrage.
00:43:14.000 And I have sued the police time and again and federal police and prison guards for different crimes they've committed against citizens.
00:43:21.000 And time and again, they get away with it because of qualified immunity.
00:43:25.000 They get the benefit of the doubt.
00:43:26.000 That's not in the Constitution.
00:43:27.000 It's not even in statute.
00:43:29.000 It's made up by judges and conservatives perpetuated.
00:43:31.000 It's a big problem on the right.
00:43:32.000 I think when it comes to places like New York City, and again, I'll stress this.
00:43:36.000 I've had suburban police departments that were fantastic.
00:43:38.000 Our sheriffs out here are great.
00:43:41.000 Talk to us, like work with us when we have issues and help us out quite a bit.
00:43:45.000 When it comes to New York City, so long as conservatives keep saying, well, because of
00:43:51.000 the good cops that may be here, which aren't speaking out or doing anything positive, as
00:43:55.000 far as I'm concerned, I won't bad mouth the department, which is putting the boot on the
00:43:59.000 neck of good Samaritans.
00:44:00.000 It's like, nah, look.
00:44:03.000 If there are no, like the police union of New York should have come out and issued a statement.
00:44:08.000 Daniel Penney is a hero and this is wrong.
00:44:10.000 Yeah, I agree with that too.
00:44:11.000 And they should have held a press conference.
00:44:12.000 Our city streets are becoming corrupt, crooked.
00:44:15.000 We are getting the blame because we can't arrest it.
00:44:17.000 No, nothing.
00:44:18.000 I see these photos of NYPD dragging this guy away in cuffs and I'm like, what?
00:44:23.000 That's remarkable to me.
00:44:25.000 If I was a cop, and this is why I would never be, and they said, hey, I want you to cuff that guy and bring him, and I'd be like, no, fire me.
00:44:32.000 It's not happening.
00:44:33.000 The thing about the losing confidence in police and losing confidence in the institution of the government, it is part of a continued line of losing trust in our institutions across the board, right?
00:44:45.000 We no longer have trust in the educational system to actually educate our children at any age, at kindergarten, you know, through college.
00:44:53.000 We have absolutely no faith in those institutions.
00:44:55.000 We don't have faith in the institutions of You know, of any of the museums, you know, any of the cultural institutions, any of the media institutions, any of the not-for-profit institutions.
00:45:08.000 We have NGOs on the border that are working to help, you know, bring illegal immigrants across the border.
00:45:15.000 Yeah.
00:45:16.000 They're doing that.
00:45:17.000 So if we, if conservatives are losing trust in government, it's really just continued dominoes falling.
00:45:24.000 I want to jump to the story and then I have a question for everybody.
00:45:27.000 It's from Mediaite.
00:45:28.000 Judge warns Trump he will be jailed if he doesn't show up to court every day of hush money trial.
00:45:35.000 Trump wanted to go see his son graduate.
00:45:37.000 He will not be allowed to do this.
00:45:39.000 Trump will not be allowed to campaign.
00:45:41.000 This trial is expected to last about a month and a half.
00:45:45.000 Now, the question I have before we get into all the nitty gritty of this of this trial for everybody is, do you think that if Trump doesn't show up, do you believe that the police departments in New York City will defy orders to arrest Trump or will they gleefully and smile and say, I'm the one who arrested Donald Trump?
00:46:06.000 I think they'll love it.
00:46:07.000 They'll get free beers forever at their local pub.
00:46:09.000 That's right.
00:46:10.000 Some of them will.
00:46:11.000 It just takes enough to arrest him.
00:46:13.000 They'll definitely find cops to do that.
00:46:15.000 What's interesting is they're going to put the Secret Service in jail.
00:46:18.000 Right.
00:46:18.000 But I imagine in New York, the response people would say is, well, of course the cops in New York would want to arrest Trump.
00:46:24.000 The whole legal system's out to get him.
00:46:25.000 It's all biased and corrupt.
00:46:26.000 The prosecutors are out to get him.
00:46:27.000 The judges are out to get him.
00:46:29.000 You think the New York City dwelling police officers aren't as anti-Trump as everybody else?
00:46:34.000 Maybe they're slightly better, but we saw around 30 police officers defend Bill de Blasio when he illegally stole taxpayer money to paint Black Lives Matter in front of Trump Tower on 5th Avenue.
00:46:46.000 Just to stick it to Trump.
00:46:47.000 Stealing tax money to do it, and the cops, with smiles on their faces, defended his right to do this and protected it.
00:46:53.000 He did not go through the proper channels.
00:46:56.000 Absolutely not.
00:46:57.000 And cops were happy to uphold the criminal activity.
00:47:01.000 If Donald Trump was found in contempt, all the police officers, all the guards, all the cops, they would all gleefully arrest and throw him in lockup.
00:47:12.000 And if they were told to beat him, they'd do it too.
00:47:15.000 You're not going to be able to come to me and say, oh, a cop.
00:47:18.000 Are you kidding?
00:47:18.000 It's New York City.
00:47:19.000 The judges are doing it.
00:47:20.000 Every judge Trump has had.
00:47:22.000 Now you've got a judge telling Trump he can't see his son's graduation.
00:47:25.000 The charges in this case are a misdemeanor.
00:47:29.000 For some unknown reason, Braga said this time it's a felony.
00:47:32.000 Well, and a lot of the misdemeanor counts, the 34 misdemeanor counts, are the same count over again because they give them a count for the invoice, they give them a count for, you know, the recording of the invoice as a legal fee, a recording of a payment as a legal fee, and the recording of the receipt as a legal fee.
00:47:49.000 So each one of those, that's three counts, it would be the exact same payment.
00:47:53.000 But it's, it's three counts.
00:47:54.000 So it's, you know, like if, if Trump's, if, if the Trump organization had made the payment to Michael Cohen, what was it?
00:48:01.000 You said $134,000.
00:48:02.000 If there had been one invoice, one check and one receipt, it would only be three counts.
00:48:07.000 That's all they would have.
00:48:08.000 But these are retainer payments.
00:48:10.000 Retainer payments.
00:48:11.000 Exactly.
00:48:11.000 Totally $400,000 over a period of time.
00:48:13.000 And that's actually the defense argument, which is that they were regular payments, regular payments for services rendered in the course of business.
00:48:21.000 And did the payments start before Stormy Nails had been paid off?
00:48:25.000 Well, Michael Cohen was already Trump's lawyer and had been representing him on other stuff.
00:48:32.000 So there was a general ongoing legal relationship.
00:48:35.000 It wasn't just related to the Stormy Daniels matter.
00:48:37.000 Right, right.
00:48:38.000 My question is, if this is a regular reoccurring retainer payment, did the retainer payments begin before or after Stormy Daniels?
00:48:45.000 I think they're only targeting these retainer payments that happen after the fact.
00:48:49.000 I think in other cases he was paid off in different ways for his services.
00:48:53.000 But I guess what I'm asking is, is it a static retainer that's been the same the whole time?
00:48:57.000 Or did it change?
00:48:58.000 I think it did change.
00:49:00.000 And of course, there was an additional need for legal services at the same time as well.
00:49:05.000 So the issue I see is...
00:49:08.000 Pending some like evidence that certainly Trump would already have to have access to that shows Trump explicitly saying to Cohen, I want you to pay her off to shut her up, but don't worry, I'll hide the money through retainers.
00:49:21.000 I don't know how you prove this.
00:49:23.000 Well, you can't prove it, and that's why the Department of Justice, Alvin Bragg's predecessor, everyone who looked at it, the Federal Election Commission experts, everyone has said this cannot be charged as an election crime or a crime at all because you can't prove it.
00:49:39.000 The two key witnesses are known liars, Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen.
00:49:44.000 Michael Cohen has pled to lying in court, and so Stormy Daniels has an affidavit out there saying, none of this happened.
00:49:51.000 This is all lies.
00:49:52.000 Had a relationship with Donald Trump.
00:49:55.000 How can you prove that case?
00:49:56.000 A legitimate prosecutor would never bring this case.
00:49:59.000 Only a prosecutor goring a political axe would bring this case.
00:50:04.000 And weren't the payments made to a media company instead?
00:50:08.000 Wasn't it like a catch and kill situation?
00:50:11.000 There's a number of different factual scenarios in there.
00:50:14.000 Do you think Trump gets convicted?
00:50:18.000 You only need one juror.
00:50:19.000 So the question is, who is the jury, right?
00:50:23.000 You need one juror to hang the jury.
00:50:25.000 And so that's really what's going on here.
00:50:27.000 Now, the judge has stacked the deck there by allowing dozens of questions of the jury pool that ask whether they support Trump, but has eliminated questions about whether you support Biden.
00:50:39.000 He's also eliminated all Orthodox Jews from serving on this jury by ensuring That trial goes, most trials in most courts around the country, they're dark on Fridays, meaning the judge attends to other business, injunctions, hearings, settlement conferences.
00:50:54.000 He's bringing the one day a week on Wednesday, which screws over President Trump from holding rallies on the weekends that he likes to do, so he cuts into his rally time.
00:51:05.000 And no Orthodox Jew can serve on a jury where it's all day court on Friday.
00:51:09.000 I'm just wondering why Trump is complying.
00:51:11.000 Well, what can he do?
00:51:12.000 He's going to be in contempt of court.
00:51:13.000 He's in a legal process.
00:51:15.000 He doesn't have a choice.
00:51:16.000 I do not believe this is a legal process, and I think it's only considered one because Trump agrees.
00:51:21.000 So when you have what is not a criminal charge, when the DOJ and the FEC say this is not criminal, there's no evidence of a crime being committed to the point where the Fed said no, and you have everything you described I suppose the only thing is Trump is like, no, no, we'll go because I'm going to get airtime.
00:51:37.000 I'm going to be the number one story in the country over and over and over again.
00:51:40.000 They're not going to prove it.
00:51:41.000 It's going to make me look like a victim.
00:51:42.000 I think the only strategy is that Trump's like, it benefits me.
00:51:45.000 Why not?
00:51:46.000 Well, look, I think he's making the most of it certainly, um, politically, but nobody wants to be in this situation.
00:51:51.000 And, uh, I hope that they can seat a good jury where one person is honest and says, this is BS.
00:51:58.000 It's possible.
00:51:58.000 It's happened.
00:51:59.000 Doesn't a hung jury mean they try them again?
00:52:02.000 Maybe, but once Jeopardy has attached, he can't be tried twice for the same crime.
00:52:09.000 That's not a hung jury, that's failure to convict.
00:52:13.000 Hung jury is when they don't reach a decision.
00:52:15.000 So if only one juror refuses.
00:52:17.000 That's right, in a criminal case in New York.
00:52:19.000 Oh, then they can't convict him.
00:52:21.000 Then they cannot try him again.
00:52:22.000 Interesting.
00:52:23.000 Yes.
00:52:24.000 So what would happen if, so there's 12 jurors, One of them says he's not guilty and 11 say he is.
00:52:32.000 What would they report then to the judge?
00:52:34.000 We've been unable to come to a decision or it's it's not unanimous.
00:52:37.000 How would they report that?
00:52:38.000 Well, they don't have 12 people to convict.
00:52:42.000 The judge would first instruct them to go back and try again, and try again.
00:52:46.000 That's what this judge would do.
00:52:47.000 How long would they do that?
00:52:50.000 There's no manual for that.
00:52:51.000 The judge has to make his own determination as to whether it's possible for this jury to reach a verdict.
00:52:56.000 Would they then come out and say, Your Honor, we have been unable to come to a verdict?
00:52:59.000 Well, that one juror may be able to convince other people as well.
00:53:04.000 I guess my question is, do you need a unanimous not guilty or a unanimous guilty?
00:53:08.000 You need a unanimous guilty to convict him.
00:53:10.000 He's not guilty.
00:53:11.000 one person refuses, is it just, he's not guilty?
00:53:14.000 He's not guilty.
00:53:15.000 The jury would come out and say, we find the defendant not guilty.
00:53:18.000 When the jury is done with its deliberations, when people are ready to go home, you know,
00:53:24.000 it's not guilty.
00:53:25.000 But so just to clarify, if one juror says not guilty, the foreman reports to the judge,
00:53:30.000 we have found the defendant not guilty.
00:53:33.000 Yeah, I don't, that I don't know the niceties of New York law on that, but my understanding
00:53:38.000 is one juror refusing to convict in this case results in a not guilty verdict.
00:53:44.000 After all, deliberations are concluded.
00:53:46.000 Right.
00:53:46.000 What I'm wondering is, how would you get a hung jury then?
00:53:50.000 Hung jury is, they come back and they say, we don't have an agreement.
00:53:55.000 Right.
00:53:55.000 But if you have 11 saying yes and one saying no, isn't that... Well, what happens at the end of the day is they get worn down and, you know, they tend to reach some kind of a verdict.
00:54:04.000 Yeah.
00:54:05.000 I kind of feel like in New York, they're going to say guilty.
00:54:07.000 Yeah.
00:54:08.000 Well, I, like I said, you need one.
00:54:09.000 You need one.
00:54:12.000 Yeah.
00:54:14.000 Is it like after, if the judge was like, go back, re-deliberate, three days go by, if the judge is like, we're coming back next week, all week until you guys get it, is that unethical?
00:54:23.000 Well, at a certain point, people are going to, you know, peace out of that, right?
00:54:27.000 You know, he's given them a certain period of time of this trial, and people have gone to their bosses, gone to their lives.
00:54:34.000 And one thing to keep in mind, there are two alternates as well.
00:54:39.000 So there's actually 14 people who are going to be seated.
00:54:42.000 And so What happens in a really long trial is you risk losing jurors during that process.
00:54:47.000 And so, you know, it has been the case where a juror in week six of a trial leaves.
00:54:53.000 They're like, I'm sorry, I'm sick.
00:54:55.000 You know, I, my boss needs me or whatever.
00:54:55.000 My wife is sick.
00:54:57.000 And then one of the alternates comes in.
00:54:59.000 So they do have a fail safe for that, but it's, you know, I've had, I've had trials where that happens.
00:55:04.000 If you go down to 11 jurors, is the case need to be retried from the top?
00:55:07.000 Uh, if you go down to 11 jurors, you don't have 12.
00:55:09.000 Yes.
00:55:12.000 And the jurors can just leave whenever they want?
00:55:14.000 If one of them's like, sorry, I gotta go.
00:55:15.000 No, they can't leave whenever they want.
00:55:16.000 They'd be in contempt of court if they did that.
00:55:18.000 But judges excuse jurors for hardships.
00:55:21.000 For example, I'm having a heart attack, I've got COVID, my son died, whatever, some emergency happens, then that's what happens.
00:55:32.000 We just were watching one case a few weeks ago where it went Wednesday, they couldn't come to a decision.
00:55:37.000 Thursday, no decision.
00:55:39.000 Friday, yeah, Friday afternoon, everyone wanted to go home, they made a decision.
00:55:43.000 They just threw the guy under the bus.
00:55:44.000 Was it the grandma?
00:55:45.000 Was it that grandma?
00:55:46.000 What was it?
00:55:46.000 It was a guilty verdict.
00:55:47.000 No, it was Doug Mackey.
00:55:48.000 Oh, the meme guy.
00:55:49.000 He said, they were hung.
00:55:50.000 He said, go back.
00:55:51.000 They come back, they were hung.
00:55:52.000 He said, go back.
00:55:53.000 And then finally they were just like, we just want to go home.
00:55:54.000 Just say he's guilty.
00:55:57.000 I would literally never do that.
00:55:59.000 I would be like, I'm moving into the courthouse.
00:56:01.000 I would literally never do that.
00:56:02.000 The tricky part here is that, you know, I saw a conservative commentator earlier today saying, you know, one citizen needs to get on that jury.
00:56:08.000 But to get on that jury as a Trump supporter, you'd have to lie.
00:56:13.000 You'd have to suppress that.
00:56:15.000 People do that.
00:56:16.000 It happens all the time.
00:56:18.000 I tried a pro-life case involving the First Amendment in San Francisco, and there were people who wanted to get on that jury.
00:56:24.000 We could tell because they were adamantly pro-choice and they wanted to see my client fry.
00:56:30.000 And so it's the job of the lawyers to suss that out.
00:56:33.000 And at the end of the day, a judge's refusal to balance a juror who's clearly biased is reversible error.
00:56:41.000 But by that time, the conviction would have happened.
00:56:43.000 So that's like the jeopardy here is I'm confident, you know, at the end of the day that these kinds of things will get sussed out.
00:56:49.000 Well, we have this from AP.
00:56:51.000 Trump's historic hush money trial gets underway.
00:56:54.000 First day ends without any jurors being picked.
00:56:57.000 Yeah.
00:56:58.000 Is that normal?
00:56:58.000 Well, so what happened much of the day-to-day was the judge ruling on threshold motions and setting some rules.
00:57:05.000 For example, his lawyer asked, well, he has these two things.
00:57:10.000 First of all, there's the important family matter of his son graduating in a six-week trial.
00:57:15.000 I've had six-week trials.
00:57:17.000 It's normal for the judge to say, yeah, you can have that day off.
00:57:20.000 It's courteous and normal.
00:57:21.000 The judge has business to attend to, right?
00:57:24.000 Next week, President Trump has a constitutional right to be at the hearing at the United States Supreme Court over immunity.
00:57:32.000 And this judge says, if you go to that hearing, which is your constitutional right, your due process right, I will jail you.
00:57:40.000 I will jail you for attending a very important other hearing.
00:57:42.000 He has to go.
00:57:43.000 Do you think Trump will go to the Supreme Court?
00:57:46.000 I don't feel like he will, yeah, right?
00:57:48.000 He has to.
00:57:49.000 The headline.
00:57:50.000 It won't surprise me that the judge's frankly outrageous orders in this regard get called.
00:57:58.000 Someone's going to call the bluff.
00:58:00.000 Trump must go to the Supreme Court.
00:58:02.000 There are these two different things.
00:58:03.000 The news headline, Trump held in contempt to be jailed for attending oral arguments in Supreme Court case.
00:58:14.000 It's a crazy time.
00:58:16.000 Man.
00:58:16.000 It's ridiculous.
00:58:17.000 This weekend was nuts.
00:58:18.000 It was like a lever got pulled.
00:58:21.000 They said like the news had jammed up in the machine and then someone took a big cotton swab the size of Cuomo's nose and jammed it in there to knock it all loose and now it's just ripping.
00:58:30.000 Saturday I went and had a beer for the first time in a long time and I was just sitting alone at the brewery just like looking out over the river just thanking God that I was in a peaceful place and that's when the fucking The missiles came flying.
00:58:40.000 The drones came in while I was sitting there.
00:58:41.000 And you look at your phone and it's like, missiles fired in Israel.
00:58:43.000 I got home and it's like, oh, another... Like, what?
00:58:45.000 I don't know if I'm just part of a greater... Like, I do believe there's more to life than just me getting up and doing my thing.
00:58:50.000 We're connected and I don't know.
00:58:51.000 You know, it was kind of wild because it was like Saturday night and we were hanging out at the poker room and the game got turned off for breaking news.
00:58:59.000 Iran had fired missiles at Israel.
00:59:01.000 And I just look up and I was like, in the poker room?
00:59:03.000 Really?
00:59:04.000 Wow.
00:59:05.000 All these poor old guys trying to just get away and just relax with their buddies, and now it's like, hey, World War III is happening.
00:59:10.000 My latest fantasies are about being off-grid.
00:59:14.000 Like, that's what I imagine.
00:59:15.000 I'm like, total peace, no noise, no Twitter, no phone, nothing.
00:59:20.000 Just the sound of chickens.
00:59:22.000 Well, or little birds or these crazy bees we got out here.
00:59:25.000 We got the craziest prehistoric bees.
00:59:27.000 They're like... Prehistoric?
00:59:29.000 They seem it with wingspan.
00:59:30.000 They're the size of my palm.
00:59:32.000 Are you talking about carpenter bees?
00:59:33.000 I don't know.
00:59:33.000 Whatever they are, they're flying around my house.
00:59:35.000 Those big carpenter bees?
00:59:37.000 Yeah, but those are everywhere.
00:59:39.000 Those are in New Jersey.
00:59:40.000 They're not in Brooklyn.
00:59:41.000 I will tell you that.
00:59:43.000 They're certainly not in Brooklyn.
00:59:44.000 So let me just circle back to a question you asked.
00:59:46.000 So lawyers use two different terms.
00:59:49.000 So a failure to reach a verdict is also known as a mistrial.
00:59:53.000 And in the event of the mistrial, he can be retried.
00:59:56.000 So if there's 11 to 1 and there's no agreement, the 1 doesn't persuade the 11, that's a mistrial.
01:00:02.000 And so then the prosecutor has to decide if they want to bring the case again.
01:00:05.000 And they will.
01:00:06.000 And they will, but that might happen after the election.
01:00:10.000 I don't know.
01:00:10.000 I kind of feel like the trial's already fake.
01:00:13.000 The trial is fake.
01:00:14.000 This trial would never have been brought by a non-hack, non-Marxist DA.
01:00:21.000 Well, this is a DA who, as soon as he came into office, he was all on board for bail reform, letting people out of prison, definitely not prosecuting people for certain crimes, reducing 52% of felonies, I think I saw, I was looking at it today, to misdemeanors, and suddenly we're aggravating these misdemeanors to felonies for no good reason.
01:00:44.000 Well, that's the point.
01:00:44.000 I was making that all over the country.
01:00:46.000 These Marxist DAs will prosecute you for your free speech.
01:00:51.000 We'll prosecute you for defending your home.
01:00:53.000 We'll prosecute you for defending your person.
01:00:56.000 We'll prosecute you over bogus stuff like this, but they won't prosecute people breaking into your car, stealing your stuff, raping your wife.
01:01:04.000 They won't prosecute those crimes that everyone knows.
01:01:06.000 They prosecute you for defending yourself, for defending your wife.
01:01:08.000 They'll prosecute you for defending yourself.
01:01:11.000 And I'm talking about literally Millions of dollars is all it takes to buy up all the DAs in the big cities in America.
01:01:20.000 So why are there not a lot of, I mean, there's a lot of leftist donors.
01:01:23.000 There's Soros buying up DAs.
01:01:25.000 Why do we not have a lot of conservative donors?
01:01:27.000 That is the question.
01:01:28.000 Why do we not have conservative donors who are investing in On the left, they're cultists.
01:01:33.000 And so advancing the cult is its own reward.
01:01:35.000 On the right, it's like, well, I'm trying to make money.
01:01:37.000 If you can't make money, then what's the point?
01:01:38.000 being the consultant to a race like that, it's not glamorous.
01:01:42.000 And so I think that's a real problem on our side.
01:01:44.000 They don't have that problem on the other side.
01:01:45.000 Yeah, the left, they're cultists.
01:01:47.000 And so advancing the cult is its own reward.
01:01:50.000 On the right, it's like, well, I'm trying to make money.
01:01:52.000 If you can't make money, then what's the point?
01:01:54.000 On the right, it's where's my return.
01:01:56.000 But the MAGA faction is the ideological faction of the right where passion and conviction matters
01:02:01.000 more than just the money.
01:02:03.000 But of course, meritocracy plays a role in that, so people are trying to make money.
01:02:07.000 You're always going to have a tough time fighting communists.
01:02:09.000 The communists are driven by religious fervor.
01:02:12.000 I don't know what to tell you.
01:02:15.000 You don't have a strong Christian fervor.
01:02:18.000 You've got a decent one, but they're too nice.
01:02:21.000 Yeah, but the thing is there aren't that many Marxists in this country.
01:02:24.000 It's just that the ones that there are are elevated into positions of power.
01:02:28.000 And a lot of people in the country are sheep, and they go along and they get along.
01:02:32.000 And so you're holding out hope for the youth of this country?
01:02:36.000 The youth of this country, particularly people in college age, first of all, college is a brainwashing machine for most Americans.
01:02:43.000 Good kids go in and complete useless Idiots come out even prior to that you have these Rainbow-haired weirdos teaching teaching the lower Teaching the elementary in the secondary schools.
01:02:56.000 And so I have you know It's only kids who are being homeschooled or kids who somehow have very strong values at home who aren't coming out ruined out of that Educational is him in our country That is true, but we're also seeing Gen Z is pushing more to the right than any other generation we've seen before.
01:03:13.000 It's a historical trend breaker.
01:03:15.000 Typically, every generation moves slightly leftward on issues, namely cultural issues, but this time, Gen Z is actually... It was a few years ago, it's hilarious, six years ago, we saw Gen Z shift rightward, and then in the past couple of years, it's been a dramatic bang.
01:03:29.000 I mean, support for same-sex marriage among Gen Z, according to a couple new polls, is lower than boomers and millennials.
01:03:35.000 It's been shoved down their throat and they're just sick of it.
01:03:37.000 Yeah.
01:03:38.000 You know, they, their, their teachers come to school with multicolored hair talking about their different neo pronouns and the kids are just like, oh my goodness, why are we doing this?
01:03:48.000 The, but the issue of same sex marriage I think is something else.
01:03:50.000 I think when you see the polling showing that also young men are moving very much to the right and young women to the left, I think you've got young guys who are watching Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, and they're just thinking to themselves.
01:04:02.000 My kid watches my son.
01:04:03.000 He's 14.
01:04:04.000 He likes Matt Walsh.
01:04:05.000 Well, Matt Walsh is in terms of like, I think that Andrew Tate does have a lot of good things, but I do think Matt Walsh is better in terms of like a father figure type inspiration for a variety of reasons.
01:04:18.000 I much prefer watching Matt Walsh to Andrew Tate.
01:04:21.000 Yeah, Andrew Tate's a bit, he has a lot of silly videos he makes, they're pretty funny, but Matt Walsh is like a dad, you know what I mean?
01:04:29.000 That's good.
01:04:29.000 Mm-hmm.
01:04:30.000 Yeah.
01:04:31.000 Seems like a good dad too.
01:04:33.000 But I think a lot of it has to do with young men being told they're bad, they're the problem, and they're just tired of it.
01:04:39.000 I bet a lot of them went through school and were playing along and knew it was ridiculous saying words they didn't agree with, and now they're out of school and they're like, I have freedom now?
01:04:47.000 Alright, that stuff was ridiculous.
01:04:49.000 I think a big component of it is...
01:04:52.000 When you're in school and you hear all these sweet nothings about how you deserve.
01:04:56.000 You deserve this, and you deserve that, and shouldn't you get this, and shouldn't you get that?
01:05:00.000 You're thinking, yeah, I do deserve this, I do deserve that.
01:05:04.000 Then you graduate, get a job, work really hard, and then you look at your paycheck, and you realize...
01:05:10.000 Yeah, the other people deserved your money, apparently.
01:05:12.000 That was your idea.
01:05:13.000 And they immediately go, whoa!
01:05:15.000 No, hold on.
01:05:16.000 I worked.
01:05:17.000 I deserve my paycheck.
01:05:18.000 No, no.
01:05:19.000 You, as a young person, advocated that the people who aren't working deserve your paycheck.
01:05:23.000 And so you lost it.
01:05:24.000 And then they immediately do a 180 and say, okay, that was a mistake.
01:05:27.000 I also think dating plays a big role in it as well.
01:05:30.000 Younger guys hitting, hitting, reaching an impasse where they're like, how do I start a family?
01:05:35.000 How do I get a house?
01:05:36.000 Yeah, I mean, you know What If All History, that Red Dirt guy?
01:05:39.000 Yeah.
01:05:39.000 He released a video this weekend called the Upcoming Instill Rebellion, and then it got taken down by YouTube.
01:05:44.000 Really?
01:05:45.000 For reasons.
01:05:45.000 Then he posted a whole clip about it, he reposted and everything like that, but just reasons, right?
01:05:48.000 He put it back on YouTube?
01:05:49.000 I believe so.
01:05:50.000 He was reposting it when I read the post and I was waiting for it to upload, but... Wow.
01:05:52.000 Just reasons, right?
01:05:55.000 He's not wrong.
01:05:57.000 When young men become listless and purposeless, you get revolts.
01:06:02.000 They have nothing to do, they find ideologies, and then they lash out.
01:06:06.000 And if they don't revolt, they'll go to another country.
01:06:09.000 Oh wait, that's- we're the country that they went to.
01:06:14.000 Exactly.
01:06:15.000 And they're here.
01:06:16.000 They're here.
01:06:16.000 It wasn't what it was advertised as.
01:06:23.000 Well, you'd think many of them would leave, but it's being facilitated.
01:06:28.000 Where would they go?
01:06:29.000 This is still the best country in the world.
01:06:31.000 Yeah, but, you know, I went to, I was in France covering the migrant crisis there several years ago.
01:06:35.000 This is like, man, seven years ago.
01:06:38.000 And we interviewed migrants in Paris.
01:06:44.000 It was cold.
01:06:45.000 And they said, it's so cold I hate it here.
01:06:47.000 I don't want to be here anymore.
01:06:49.000 I don't like the cold.
01:06:49.000 I've never had the cold before.
01:06:51.000 These are people who came from Sub-Saharan Africa, economic migrants who were promised jobs and opportunity.
01:06:57.000 If they went on this dangerous trek, they were told that France wanted them there.
01:07:02.000 The people working in these countries are saying, you know, France is asking for migrants to come and take jobs, and they're like, really?
01:07:08.000 So they came.
01:07:08.000 Then they were put into these big inflatable tents that were freezing, and they're standing outside being like, I've never experienced cold before, and this is awful.
01:07:15.000 I want to go home.
01:07:16.000 That's like what's happening in Chicago.
01:07:17.000 Yep.
01:07:18.000 Except in Chicago, they're also getting, what, measles and tuberculosis?
01:07:21.000 Yes, they are.
01:07:22.000 Yeah.
01:07:22.000 Yeah.
01:07:23.000 It's going great.
01:07:24.000 Yeah.
01:07:24.000 Chicago is going to be a, it's going to be brutal for a lot of these.
01:07:27.000 It was brutal for a lot of these people not realizing just how cold Chicago gets.
01:07:31.000 Venezuelans were going home.
01:07:33.000 You know what was really crazy?
01:07:34.000 I went to the Chicago market this Christmas, and it was impossible to be in.
01:07:38.000 And it was the weirdest thing.
01:07:40.000 What do you mean impossible?
01:07:41.000 It was shoulder-to-shoulder, and you couldn't actually do anything.
01:07:45.000 So the Chicago market happens during Christmas, and normally it's like you walk in, you walk around, there's shops everywhere, they come from all over the world, and then you leave.
01:07:51.000 This time, it was... you couldn't even get in.
01:07:56.000 I was just like, I don't know if it's even worth going into because everyone's just standing smash shoulder to shoulder, moving two inches.
01:08:01.000 And I'm like, what's happening to the city?
01:08:04.000 And of course, most of the people there were not from there.
01:08:08.000 They were just wanting to be inside.
01:08:10.000 No, what I'm saying is it was a lot of migrants.
01:08:12.000 I don't know if they were illegal immigrants or otherwise, but there were a lot of people who were not from Chicago.
01:08:17.000 Maybe they were tourists or otherwise, but I'm like, don't we, aren't these people, the same people saying we're overpopulated, like advocating for mass migration into our cities that they claim are overpopulated?
01:08:29.000 Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.
01:08:30.000 It doesn't, does it?
01:08:31.000 No.
01:08:32.000 None of it makes sense unless you think about it being used to change the outcome of elections, which I think is one of the things the left is doing with this.
01:08:40.000 Well, one of the stories that we've pulled up quite a bit is the Help America Vote Verification System.
01:08:47.000 So let me pull this up once again.
01:08:49.000 We have the week ending March 30th, and we'll take a look over at our good friend Texas.
01:08:53.000 Now, we brought this up several times.
01:08:55.000 The Social Security Administration says 225,000 people registered to vote without IDs.
01:08:57.000 190,000 matches were found.
01:08:58.000 registered to vote without IDs.
01:09:00.000 190,000 matches were found.
01:09:01.000 4,515 were deceased.
01:09:05.000 When it came to Missouri, apparently the statement was that they were doing voter roll.
01:09:11.000 They're cleaning up the voter rolls and verifying their voter rolls.
01:09:14.000 But the HAVV according to SSA is only for new voter registrants, not for you to clean your logs.
01:09:21.000 It would make sense that they were doing that, that's why there's so many.
01:09:24.000 But Texas issued a statement saying it's not happening and that it must be an error.
01:09:30.000 So, Harmeet, I'm wondering, you work with the RNC, if you guys are aware of what this is and why it's happening, because, well, if Texas were to flip blue, and there has been speculation it may go blue, maybe many people from California move to Texas and Texas is winner-take-all, Democrats need only one swing state, not even.
01:09:51.000 If Missouri and Texas both turned blue, Biden wins.
01:09:55.000 Trump could win every swing state.
01:09:56.000 Biden will win if he gets those two.
01:09:58.000 So, I'm wondering if you guys have seen the story, what do you think it might mean, or what are the plans the RNC has for dealing with ballot harvesting and other initiatives?
01:10:07.000 Well, I don't know what the plans are.
01:10:09.000 Specifically, I'm not actively involved in any of that.
01:10:12.000 I'm not part of the RNC's management at this point.
01:10:16.000 I am assured that there are plans, but the good news is that there are outside groups as well who are focusing on these issues, and Turning Point USA is one.
01:10:25.000 I know there's some apps out there that folks are looking for.
01:10:29.000 There's an app a friend of mine has made called Veatchee, and they have a whole plan to use gamification to recruit citizens to help get their fellow citizens to vote.
01:10:42.000 But the problem is that in most of the United States, efforts to impose voter ID requirements or even a hard requirement at the registration phase have been dismantled by the left.
01:10:55.000 And again, well-funded liberal so-called nonprofits that are really political in nature have systematically opposed every attempt by red states to impose voter ID, to confirm to confirm eligibility, which now Republicans are coming around to that we really have to up the ante on this.
01:11:14.000 But I was just looking this up right now.
01:11:16.000 In Texas, you can evade their voter ID requirement, avoid the voter ID requirement when it comes to registering to vote by filling out an affidavit, but there's a hardship, a substantial impediment declaration.
01:11:30.000 And with that, you can avoid the voter ID requirement, which is, you know, when you're talking about tens of thousands of people doing that, suddenly that doesn't look like tens of thousands of people having a problem finding their ID or what have you.
01:11:41.000 It seems like something systematic, right?
01:11:43.000 If it's true that 1.5 million, I don't know, non-citizens, illegals or otherwise, have registered in Texas, it certainly sounds like Texas will be a Democrat state this election.
01:11:53.000 Yeah.
01:11:53.000 I mean, I think I'm sure people are looking into this.
01:11:57.000 This happened two weeks ago, April 4th.
01:12:01.000 The Secretary of State released a statement confirming that individuals are not required to have an ID to register to vote.
01:12:07.000 They only have to produce a Social Security number.
01:12:09.000 Well, you know, some refugees get social security numbers.
01:12:13.000 And so, you know, that's the problem.
01:12:15.000 Now you're relying on them, and this is the case throughout the United States, to self-certify.
01:12:19.000 For example, when we've driven voter registration to the DMV, which of course is like,
01:12:25.000 we all know the most competent arm of the government, you self-certify there that you are eligible
01:12:33.000 to be United States voter.
01:12:35.000 And the problem is complicated by the fact that in many states increasingly, and in urban elections,
01:12:42.000 you don't have to be a citizen to vote in those elections.
01:12:44.000 So, varies by state law, of course, but in California and San Francisco, the notorious example
01:12:50.000 is illegal aliens are entitled to vote for school board because their children, that the argument is,
01:12:58.000 our children are educated in the schools.
01:13:00.000 So there's a whole second tier system.
01:13:03.000 So they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars setting up the system.
01:13:06.000 At the end of the day, 43 people or something like that registered to vote under that system.
01:13:10.000 So, it really blurs, and that's intentional.
01:13:13.000 The intent is to confuse or, you know, enable people who are not citizens to vote in this country.
01:13:19.000 And then, four years from now or six years from now, there's going to be rioting over that issue.
01:13:25.000 Why aren't we allowed to vote in federal elections as well?
01:13:28.000 And Congress could actually shut that down.
01:13:31.000 I started looking at this issue almost a decade ago.
01:13:33.000 Congress could shut that down by passing a law saying that in the United States, You know, there are people who are federalist objections to this, but I think it's a real national problem at this point.
01:13:42.000 And you could condition it on federal funding or what have you, but you could make a rule that says in the United States, you cannot vote in any election unless you are a United States citizen.
01:13:51.000 And so that means school board or local municipal city council or whatever, and they could tie it to funding.
01:13:56.000 If you want any federal funding to run your elections, which by the way, they all want, you know, they're going to comply with that, like the seatbelt rules and other rules like that.
01:14:04.000 What about you had Mike Johnson and Donald Trump on Friday talking together about how Johnson was going to propose a bill requiring people to prove that they are U.S.
01:14:15.000 citizens before they're allowed to vote?
01:14:17.000 Right.
01:14:18.000 So the left is responding to that by saying, well, that's already the law.
01:14:21.000 Correct.
01:14:22.000 It's already the law that in federal elections you have to be a citizen.
01:14:25.000 The problem is you don't have to produce ID to prove that you're a citizen.
01:14:30.000 You simply check a box and say, I'm a citizen.
01:14:33.000 I'm entitled to vote.
01:14:33.000 And indeed, there have been many instances where, you know, legitimate American green card holders, legal residents, have voted in federal elections because they checked the wrong box when they were registering their vehicle or what have you.
01:14:47.000 They updated their voter registration.
01:14:49.000 They got themselves in the voter rolls, and then they got the ballots, because the ballots were mailed to them, and then they voted.
01:14:56.000 And now they're felons, effectively.
01:14:58.000 They can never become American citizens if the law is applied correctly, because that's an excludable offense.
01:15:04.000 You can actually be deported for that.
01:15:05.000 Which it ought to be, really.
01:15:06.000 Yeah, it ought to be.
01:15:07.000 But on the other hand, somebody who doesn't speak English as their first language goes to get their driver's license, and they check the wrong box.
01:15:13.000 Someone mails them a ballot, And boom, they become disqualified to be a citizen in a lawful country.
01:15:19.000 Now, is that really happening?
01:15:20.000 I'm not aware of people being deported for that.
01:15:23.000 The problem is rather the opposite problem, which I think is Democrats encouraging people to vote without proper authorization.
01:15:32.000 I think that one of the big plays they'll make is, you alluded to it already, with, hey, why can't we vote in federal elections?
01:15:40.000 They've already started using the phrase undocumented citizens, and they'll try and shift the language, and they'll make the argument that citizen simply means a person who lives here, so that in 10, 20 years, they can say, hey, we can't have it, a two-tiered system of citizenship, where if you're an undocumented citizen, you can't vote.
01:15:57.000 All citizens should be allowed to vote, and then they'll try and make it so that the moment you cross that border, you can vote.
01:16:02.000 Well, I think that is the view of the left.
01:16:04.000 I think that is absolutely the view of the left, and you hear it from educated leftists who say, well, what do you mean they don't pay taxes?
01:16:10.000 They pay taxes.
01:16:11.000 They pay sales tax.
01:16:14.000 Their taxes are withheld because they're working, they've entered their social security number, they're paying into the system.
01:16:21.000 No, they're not.
01:16:22.000 That's a lie.
01:16:25.000 But the dirty secret of all of this is, why is this even controversial on the right?
01:16:30.000 Because many American Republican donors have made their money off of the backs of illegal workers in their businesses, in agriculture, in meatpacking, you name it.
01:16:43.000 In every industry like that, where a lot of cheap labor is required, it is convenient and inexpensive and improves their bottom line and their sales to be able to compete with Mexico by simply hiring undocumented workers.
01:16:58.000 That's a dirty fact.
01:17:00.000 Yeah, that's why Trump's a threat to them.
01:17:01.000 Because Trump actually had raids on chicken processing plants when he was president, and it resulted in, like, I think 800 deportations.
01:17:08.000 That's right, in, like, Alabama or something.
01:17:10.000 Yeah, and then these companies... And those were Republican donors.
01:17:13.000 And then Democrats made the arguments, but nobody wants to do these jobs!
01:17:16.000 And then, sure enough, tons of people showed up who were Americans who wanted those jobs.
01:17:20.000 Yeah.
01:17:20.000 And there was a reporter who asked, Sir, are you here for the job fair?
01:17:24.000 I am.
01:17:25.000 Why would you want to take a job like this?
01:17:27.000 He goes, what do you mean?
01:17:27.000 It pays more money than my last job.
01:17:29.000 It was that simple.
01:17:30.000 It was a better job.
01:17:32.000 So they lie.
01:17:33.000 What they want to do is they want to compete with non-citizens so that American workers are displaced.
01:17:40.000 American workers says, look, standard of living here.
01:17:42.000 I need, I need money for my family.
01:17:43.000 I got to make 15, 20 bucks an hour.
01:17:44.000 And they go, nah, we're going to give this non-citizen seven bucks an hour.
01:17:47.000 He'll take it.
01:17:47.000 Well, what Americans want, it's not that there are jobs Americans are unwilling to do.
01:17:51.000 Americans want a fair wage and good working conditions.
01:17:54.000 Right.
01:17:56.000 And the dignity that comes along with earning your own living and supporting your family.
01:18:00.000 That costs money.
01:18:02.000 I don't know.
01:18:02.000 That's what I want.
01:18:03.000 The people who aren't from this country are like, look, I make $3 an hour back where I'm from.
01:18:07.000 If I can get $7, that'd be fantastic.
01:18:09.000 I don't care what the conditions are.
01:18:10.000 And then these companies exploit them.
01:18:12.000 And they put them in dorms, and they take their passports, and they don't let them leave, and they do it.
01:18:17.000 Not in California, by the way.
01:18:18.000 They all have lawyers.
01:18:19.000 They all have Marcia's lawyers, too.
01:18:20.000 No, that's not happening.
01:18:21.000 People are getting paid pretty well to do jobs that Americans would be willing to do.
01:18:26.000 Oh, I went to the Salton Sea during the drought coverage, and I met some young guys who were skateboarding.
01:18:32.000 They said their parents were, uh, they harvested fruit on fruit farms, uh, not too far away.
01:18:37.000 And they got 20 bucks an hour.
01:18:39.000 And they were not citizens.
01:18:40.000 And he was like, he, he was born here.
01:18:43.000 His parents- Says our Chavez would be overwhelmed.
01:18:46.000 Yeah, he said that he was born there, and so, you know, he's a citizen, but his parents aren't, so he tries to be careful.
01:18:51.000 But his parents make about 20 bucks an hour each, collecting the fruit, harvesting the fruit.
01:18:56.000 And I was like, 20 bucks an hour?
01:18:58.000 And this was 10 years ago.
01:18:59.000 I was like, wow.
01:19:00.000 A lot of Americans would love to have those jobs.
01:19:03.000 But the issue isn't so much about the pay, it's about the legal requirements.
01:19:06.000 If it's an American citizen working there, you've got liability issues.
01:19:09.000 If it's a non-citizen, they simply tell them, hey, anything bad happens, you're getting kicked out of the country.
01:19:14.000 That doesn't work anymore, actually.
01:19:16.000 Not in California.
01:19:16.000 Like I said, there's a lot of lawyers for all people on the West Coast.
01:19:19.000 They're still...
01:19:22.000 But for a business, all it takes is a couple of bucks worth of profit.
01:19:26.000 So you could pay an American slightly higher, you can pay somebody a little bit less, and our entire restaurant industry is built on that.
01:19:36.000 All the food we eat is built on illegal labor in this country.
01:19:39.000 Wow.
01:19:39.000 That's what Chuck Schumer always said.
01:19:41.000 It's a fact.
01:19:42.000 Yeah.
01:19:43.000 Yeah.
01:19:44.000 About why we should allow massive illegal immigration.
01:19:48.000 That's why we should allow it.
01:19:51.000 Look at what stuff costs in Norway.
01:19:53.000 It costs like five times what it costs here in America because not that many people live there and they're all kind of very tightly controlled labor market, very strictly controlled labor market.
01:20:04.000 Man, people gotta bring back the small town.
01:20:06.000 Up in Martinsburg, the diner closed and it's really sad.
01:20:09.000 Oh no!
01:20:09.000 Yeah, it closed a while ago.
01:20:10.000 That's too bad.
01:20:11.000 I remember there was a place on the north side, there was a, the city's developing, it's getting bigger,
01:20:17.000 chain restaurants are coming in, and there was this classic looking 50s diner,
01:20:21.000 hole in the wall, that clearly was from the 50s and had not been repaired since.
01:20:25.000 And you'd walk in and it was one of those diners where it's like a thin strip,
01:20:29.000 you can sit at the counter and then that's all you had.
01:20:32.000 And I think it was just one old guy who made all the food.
01:20:36.000 You'd walk and sit down, you want a burger, fries, pancakes, waffle, sausage, whatever, basic diner stuff.
01:20:40.000 And he'd make it right behind you and then he'd flip it over, hand it to you.
01:20:43.000 And then I remember a few years ago, I went back to the holidays and it was just gone,
01:20:46.000 shut down out of business.
01:20:47.000 What I assume happened is the old guy just either retired or died,
01:20:51.000 and there was no one to inherit this like, this classic local place.
01:20:55.000 And so what's happening now is these businesses close, the chains come in,
01:20:59.000 and you're getting this plasticification of our cities.
01:21:03.000 And that's nightmarish.
01:21:04.000 Yeah, the de-authentification of it.
01:21:05.000 Well, look, a lot of that, of course, was accelerated by COVID.
01:21:09.000 And even in foodie Mecca where I live, San Francisco, the majority of the restaurants have shut.
01:21:15.000 Like our favorite restaurants are pretty much all gone.
01:21:17.000 And the ones that are there are suddenly charging like 30 bucks for an entree.
01:21:20.000 It's crazy.
01:21:21.000 It is expensive.
01:21:22.000 Like getting takeout is really expensive.
01:21:24.000 I was recently in Brooklyn and the Kellogg Diner in Williamsburg, it's gone.
01:21:29.000 Really?
01:21:29.000 It's closed.
01:21:31.000 That really?
01:21:31.000 Wow.
01:21:32.000 Yeah.
01:21:32.000 It's close.
01:21:33.000 Yeah.
01:21:33.000 I used to eat there like all the time.
01:21:36.000 Me too.
01:21:36.000 I used to go there with my kid all the time.
01:21:37.000 It's like two blocks from Vice.
01:21:38.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:21:39.000 It's right there, like, you know, right in Williamsburg, right under QE, right on the, yeah, right there.
01:21:44.000 Kellogg Diner, man.
01:21:45.000 Yeah.
01:21:47.000 I was going by in an Uber and I was just like, what, what is this?
01:21:50.000 What happened?
01:21:51.000 Man.
01:21:52.000 Everything's turning to plastic.
01:21:54.000 Yeah, I don't like the deauthentification of culture.
01:21:56.000 It's expensive to keep good ingredients, too.
01:21:58.000 Mom-and-pop shops tend to have a challenge keeping up with the cost of ingredients, because then if they cut costs and they end up using crappy, you know, three-day-old grease to fry their french fries in because they can't afford to buy new grease every day, then you can taste it and the fries suck.
01:22:13.000 Everything is just Cisco these days.
01:22:14.000 But the thing, too, is, like, the people who are running the corporate chain restaurants, they don't care about the food that they give you.
01:22:21.000 And so everything is just super mid, you know, there's like nothing good about it.
01:22:25.000 I've recently been thinking about that and I'm just kind of like I'm done eating other people's food.
01:22:29.000 You know, I just want to eat my own food.
01:22:32.000 We need like the idea of you waking up with the family.
01:22:37.000 You take your kids to the diner and there's old Mr. Belvedere, whatever his name is, and he's the guy who's making the sandwiches and the pancakes and he puts the little happy face in the pancakes for the little kid.
01:22:47.000 And, you know, he's part of the community.
01:22:50.000 Everybody knows him.
01:22:51.000 Now it's like you walk into the local diner, there's people you've never seen before.
01:22:54.000 You don't know him.
01:22:54.000 No one cares.
01:22:54.000 No one talks to each other.
01:22:55.000 No one knows their neighbors.
01:22:56.000 I was going to say Mr. Belvedere.
01:22:58.000 Mr. Belvedere is now Ms.
01:22:59.000 Belvedere.
01:23:00.000 There's that.
01:23:02.000 Well, Mr. and Mrs. Belvedere... He's confused.
01:23:04.000 No, Mr. Belvedere is trans.
01:23:07.000 But it should be Mr. and Mrs. Belvedere who run the local diner, and they're both there.
01:23:10.000 It should be.
01:23:11.000 The family knows them, and on Christmas there's a Christmas tree, and there's a wreath on the door, and they say, we always go in on Christmas Eve to see the, you know, the Belvedere family, and they cook us French toast sticks, and there's little trains in the corner.
01:23:23.000 Now it's corporate chains with people you've never seen before who don't know you, don't care, don't know your neighbor's names.
01:23:31.000 People can't afford rent.
01:23:32.000 There's homeless people everywhere.
01:23:33.000 There's human crap all over the streets.
01:23:35.000 You don't trust the people teaching your own kid.
01:23:37.000 Well, cooking for yourself is no joke right now, either.
01:23:39.000 I cook a lot at home.
01:23:42.000 And, you know, the $200 worth of groceries is $400 worth of groceries now, suddenly.
01:23:47.000 It is so much more expensive.
01:23:48.000 It's crazy.
01:23:48.000 It's double what it was a year ago, I feel like.
01:23:51.000 How many days of food does that?
01:23:53.000 For us, maybe, well, it's two of us, and it's a week of admittedly bougie food.
01:23:59.000 But, you know, real good food, halibut and salmon and crab and healthy food.
01:24:03.000 And like that $15 Nancy Pelosi ice cream?
01:24:06.000 The Jenny's ice cream.
01:24:08.000 She had a freezer full of it.
01:24:10.000 Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
01:24:11.000 I've been ordering ready-made meals, but they're expensive.
01:24:13.000 They're like 13 bucks a meal.
01:24:15.000 And I'm like, Yeah.
01:24:16.000 But meat, then I'm looking at the cost of meat, $18 a pound for some of this meat.
01:24:19.000 I'm like, would I even save money if I cooked?
01:24:21.000 I don't know.
01:24:22.000 I don't think you save money, but you get better food.
01:24:24.000 I mean, that's what I do.
01:24:26.000 I don't do it to save money.
01:24:27.000 I do it to know what's in my food.
01:24:29.000 I think going out for food is important though.
01:24:33.000 I think the idea of Saturday morning, you go out to the diner and you know your community and you recognize your friends and your neighbors and everyone's getting pancakes or whatever.
01:24:40.000 Yeah, if it's good.
01:24:41.000 That's true.
01:24:42.000 We live in a small town on weekends on the coast and we make a point of doing that and it is really nice.
01:24:48.000 But in the city, it's a whole different story.
01:24:50.000 Yeah, what's in the food?
01:24:51.000 You don't know what's in it.
01:24:53.000 I mean, if times really get crunchy, you may really want to know what's in that food before you start eating it.
01:24:58.000 Yeah, I love this meme.
01:24:59.000 They said, uh, if you went to the 1950s and showed a video of a major city today, they would be shocked.
01:25:08.000 You are living in the nightmare dystopia.
01:25:10.000 Oh, yeah, for sure.
01:25:11.000 We've been in the nightmare dystopia for a while.
01:25:13.000 But if you went to the 1950s, they'd be like, have your pancakes.
01:25:16.000 We're getting ready to get shipped off to Korea.
01:25:18.000 Like they didn't have some lard.
01:25:19.000 So it was like a lot of smiling and like Main Street had a lot of balloons on it.
01:25:25.000 But like kids were getting shipped off to get their legs blown off in the jungle against their will.
01:25:29.000 It was a horrible time.
01:25:30.000 It was a war machine at its peak.
01:25:32.000 And that was we were living.
01:25:33.000 That was that whole like American dream thing was the war machine at its peak.
01:25:37.000 I don't know what it was like before the 1800s.
01:25:38.000 Were there like local Candies.
01:25:42.000 What was the best year?
01:25:44.000 Is there a good year right before the war started?
01:25:47.000 Right before Korea?
01:25:48.000 Right after World War II?
01:25:48.000 I don't know.
01:25:49.000 I think the 90s were pretty baller.
01:25:50.000 Yeah, the 90s.
01:25:51.000 That's true.
01:25:52.000 They were great.
01:25:53.000 I feel like the 90s were the pinnacle of American civilization.
01:25:57.000 It was like the reward we had for everything terrible that had happened.
01:26:01.000 I like the 70s.
01:26:02.000 You like the 70s?
01:26:02.000 I love the 70s.
01:26:03.000 I love the fashion.
01:26:06.000 The Vietnam.
01:26:06.000 I was a kid.
01:26:07.000 Like, I love the music.
01:26:09.000 I love the fashion.
01:26:10.000 I love the, you know, Saturday Night Fever.
01:26:13.000 I love the cheesy movies.
01:26:15.000 I loved all of that.
01:26:15.000 Jimmy Carter.
01:26:16.000 Oh, that's right.
01:26:17.000 Jimmy Carter.
01:26:19.000 I mean, I long today for a Democrat leader who's like, Jimmy Carter.
01:26:25.000 Principled, totally wrong, but I think sincere.
01:26:29.000 That was a different era of Democrat.
01:26:30.000 I think he was a good man, at least.
01:26:32.000 He was a sincere guy, a good guy.
01:26:34.000 We don't have them like that anymore.
01:26:36.000 Joe Biden is literally the antithesis of somebody like that.
01:26:40.000 I think the reason the 70s probably takes the cake is just because they gave us Rasputin by Boney M, and nothing else matters.
01:26:47.000 That's just one of the top songs of all time.
01:26:49.000 Bell bottoms.
01:26:50.000 I don't know the reference, but I'm a huge 70s fan.
01:26:52.000 The music and the fashion.
01:26:54.000 You don't know Rasputin?
01:26:55.000 No, I don't know the reference of the 70s because I wasn't around.
01:26:57.000 I know Boney M is very popular and where I come from in India.
01:27:01.000 Oh yeah, yeah.
01:27:02.000 Boney M, fantastic.
01:27:03.000 Was it Daddy Cool?
01:27:05.000 What else have they got?
01:27:06.000 Rivers of Babylon?
01:27:07.000 Bohemian Rhapsody is like the greatest song ever written.
01:27:11.000 Bohemian Rhapsody is like the greatest ever the idea that one that you can walk out
01:27:11.000 Led Zeppelin.
01:27:15.000 Snap your fingers and have some food handed to you is like what kind of luxury we're living in this world
01:27:20.000 we I mean I've been accustomed to my whole life that you go to friendlies
01:27:23.000 and get ice cream or like go to a Dairy Queen and eat burger meat at a snap of a finger and have you guys seen
01:27:29.000 these dystopian PSA commercials where it's like I
01:27:33.000 Just saw one recently where it's three guys are playing Xbox and one guy runs over and he opens the box puts the he
01:27:38.000 opens the cartridge he puts the Or the CD tray puts the disc in the
01:27:43.000 The three guys are playing multiplayer and they're all laughing and then they like high-five and then it... the screen flickers to today and it's a guy sitting on his couch with headphones on and all you hear is clacking.
01:27:52.000 And there's nothing being said and then he looks at his phone and he swipes and he looks down.
01:27:55.000 Yeah.
01:27:56.000 And then it says innovations are not always good or something like that.
01:27:59.000 Well this is something that my son keeps talking about is he finds the removal of local multiplayer for games to be really upsetting.
01:28:07.000 Because he liked to sit on the couch with his friends.
01:28:09.000 He would, like, he used to have, like, three controllers and his two best friends would come over and they would all sit there and play games and I would order pizza and, like, then take them for ice cream after, you know what I mean?
01:28:20.000 Mario Party.
01:28:21.000 And it was great and they would just, and I could look over and I could see them and they would be hanging out and I would, like, pretend I wasn't there and, like, let them have the, you know, the house to themselves, basically.
01:28:30.000 But at a certain point all these games started pulling local multiplayer off and so they would have to, like, If they wanted to play together, they would both have to have two Xboxes in the same place and two monitors.
01:28:43.000 And so now, I mean, one of his best friends actually moved to Morocco, which is crazy.
01:28:47.000 But anyway, they play.
01:28:49.000 So they play remotely, but they can't even play together.
01:28:52.000 My son likes to play.
01:28:54.000 So he will find games that are still local multiplayer because he and his dad like to play in the same place.
01:29:00.000 You know, and it's just not fair to these kids that they have- they're like forced to sit there alone if they want to play games with their friends.
01:29:06.000 It's dumb.
01:29:07.000 Mario Party.
01:29:08.000 Yeah.
01:29:08.000 He actually wanted to write me an article about how local multiplayer should not be removed from games.
01:29:13.000 Is he gonna do it?
01:29:14.000 Well, he wrote half of it and then he got distracted and talked to his friend and whatever, but- Well, it's time to finish it!
01:29:18.000 You know, yeah.
01:29:19.000 And then you, the editor, will go through it.
01:29:20.000 I will edit it.
01:29:22.000 But I think it, I think it really matters.
01:29:24.000 I think it is, I think it is a transformation.
01:29:26.000 Even when I was a kid, like, I didn't, you know, I didn't, I was never a very sophisticated gamer, but I had an Atari, and me and my cousin would sit there and play it together.
01:29:33.000 We both had our little joysticks.
01:29:35.000 Kong and Space Invader.
01:29:38.000 Yeah, I had Pac-Man.
01:29:40.000 Defender, personally, I love that game.
01:29:42.000 Galaga.
01:29:42.000 For a lot of reasons, the internet has caused us great problems.
01:29:45.000 But it's, the upsides are, are like, insurmountably awesome.
01:29:49.000 Like, I remember 1994 when I got Diablo, my buddy got Diablo, and then he burned me a copy on a CD and I, we played multiplayer online.
01:29:57.000 It was the most groundbreaking thing that you could talk to your friend and play video games with them no matter where he was on Earth.
01:30:04.000 I was like, what in the...
01:30:06.000 Everything's better now, but the lack of community thing's insidious.
01:30:09.000 You don't realize it at the time that being alone in a room is still being alone in a room.
01:30:14.000 And then you have an AI girlfriend.
01:30:15.000 Speaking of, there's a- So, I mean, that's the thing is COVID has robbed kids and people of just people knowing how to socialize.
01:30:25.000 And they're all dysfunctional.
01:30:27.000 A lot of younger, most younger people I know are dysfunctional unless they grew up in a big family.
01:30:32.000 I don't know how to relate to people.
01:30:33.000 And I can tell you, even in the law profession, I know people at my law firm are all going to think I'm talking about them, but there's a real failure to launch among young career professionals.
01:30:44.000 What does that mean?
01:30:45.000 They don't understand deadlines.
01:30:48.000 And I know I sound like get off my lawn here, but like literally the socialization of the
01:30:53.000 abusive workplace, which forges by fire, you know, the understanding that you have to perform
01:30:59.000 and do better than others and like get stuff done and have some discipline.
01:31:04.000 People are like, yeah, I want to work from home and, you know, I don't really feel like
01:31:06.000 doing it.
01:31:07.000 Don't have a driver's licenses.
01:31:09.000 Don't have driver's licenses.
01:31:10.000 People don't have drive.
01:31:11.000 Just no drive.
01:31:12.000 Ghost and interviews.
01:31:14.000 Like there's just like it's as if showing is optional.
01:31:17.000 Someone else is going to take care of you.
01:31:18.000 Well, right.
01:31:19.000 Because they do.
01:31:20.000 I think when you eliminate struggle from a human being's life in early development.
01:31:26.000 They don't have drive.
01:31:28.000 I think drive is rooted in growing up.
01:31:31.000 You had to accomplish things.
01:31:33.000 For a long time in human history it was, if you don't you'll die.
01:31:36.000 Right.
01:31:37.000 Then we got to the point where it is tradition, you must.
01:31:39.000 Then we got to the point where you get a trophy whether you did or didn't.
01:31:42.000 And so then there's no struggle.
01:31:44.000 Food's just there.
01:31:45.000 You get a trophy whether you win or lose.
01:31:46.000 Now these people are adults and they're saying, but I don't want to do anything.
01:31:50.000 Why can't I just have free stuff?
01:31:52.000 Well, in a way, that's the counterpart of the immigrant experience in the United States, because I'm an immigrant, and my dad came here as a doctor, settled in rural North Carolina, so I grew up in a very rural community.
01:32:05.000 And, you know, everyone worked.
01:32:07.000 Everyone had a job, no matter whether they were right side of the railroad tracks or wrong side of the railroad tracks.
01:32:11.000 It was just socialization.
01:32:12.000 And as an immigrant today, many decades later, I still have that immigrant mentality.
01:32:17.000 Like, you cannot sit there and chill.
01:32:19.000 Like, you have to be building something bigger and better and always be, you know, on the ball.
01:32:24.000 But my brother's kids, you know, like, that generation is different.
01:32:29.000 You know, they're kind of buying into the sort of apathy of the American youth right now.
01:32:34.000 Yeah, I don't like it.
01:32:35.000 Tim Dillon had a bit actually today where he was talking about Gen Z has just figured out the way to game the system right now.
01:32:39.000 So they say, Oh, well, I show up for work late.
01:32:41.000 And they say, Why are you late?
01:32:42.000 Oh, well, I'm gay.
01:32:42.000 And they say, Oh, okay, well, fine.
01:32:44.000 Don't worry about it.
01:32:44.000 And they just game the system and say, Oh, I have the they make up mental disorders.
01:32:47.000 Oh, well, it's because it's mental disorder.
01:32:48.000 It's because it's like the Pokemonification that Gen Z has created in the world.
01:32:51.000 Everything has to be in a category, etc.
01:32:53.000 But really good bit he does there.
01:32:55.000 Anyways.
01:32:55.000 We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with all of your friends, each and every one, and head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, so you can watch the members-only uncensored show that will be coming up at 10 p.m., and this one is going to be, and I must stress, not family-friendly.
01:33:16.000 I was gonna say.
01:33:17.000 Oh, I wonder.
01:33:18.000 You know, normally they're not so family-friendly because you swear and stuff, but no, this subject matter is not family-friendly.
01:33:25.000 But it's going to be very important, very interesting, and it's also going to be gross.
01:33:28.000 So, you've been warned.
01:33:29.000 But you should still sign up and watch it.
01:33:31.000 You'll enjoy it.
01:33:31.000 I think I know what it's going to be about.
01:33:33.000 I think you might.
01:33:34.000 I don't know.
01:33:35.000 Maybe.
01:33:35.000 We'll see.
01:33:36.000 Clint Torres says, Howdy, people!
01:33:38.000 Clint Torres has returned.
01:33:40.000 Hi, Clint!
01:33:40.000 Good to see you, man.
01:33:41.000 He owns the Super Chat.
01:33:42.000 Yeah, Clint's the man.
01:33:42.000 Evan Porter says, Howdy, Clint!
01:33:43.000 Well, there you go.
01:33:45.000 Shane H. Wilder says, so after the stabbing of the priest during mass, do we think that violence towards Christians will continue to escalate?
01:33:52.000 I haven't seen anything from mainstream media, probably because of who did the stabbing.
01:33:55.000 Crazy story.
01:33:57.000 Out of Sydney.
01:33:58.000 It was a bishop, I believe.
01:34:00.000 And there's video footage of it.
01:34:02.000 Apparently he had made comments about Islam.
01:34:05.000 They threatened to kill him.
01:34:06.000 And then some kid showed up and did it.
01:34:09.000 Killed him.
01:34:10.000 I don't know if this is true.
01:34:11.000 I don't know if you guys have seen this, but apparently they said like the the the parishioners chopped his fingers off.
01:34:15.000 Chopped his fingers off.
01:34:16.000 The kid was 15.
01:34:17.000 Wow.
01:34:17.000 He could be seen in the video afterwards laughing like smiling after he had been subdued.
01:34:22.000 Wow.
01:34:23.000 He went to like food like a food court earlier.
01:34:25.000 Like it was just a regular day for this guy.
01:34:27.000 I mean, this was the second major stabbing.
01:34:31.000 You say they caught the guy and they cut the assailant's fingers off?
01:34:34.000 Yeah, the parishioners grabbed the kid after he stabbed the bishop.
01:34:37.000 The bishop is non-life-threatening injuries.
01:34:41.000 Oh, okay.
01:34:41.000 He's still alive.
01:34:42.000 Yeah, he's still alive.
01:34:43.000 And then they cut off the kid's fingers.
01:34:45.000 That's what I read, yeah.
01:34:46.000 I think it was in the course of trying to subdue him, not as retaliation.
01:34:50.000 That's my understanding.
01:34:51.000 Wow.
01:34:52.000 But then there was a crowd outside saying, like, you know, an eye for an eye, like, bring him out, let him face justice.
01:34:57.000 Yeah.
01:34:57.000 I mean, if you did that to, like, the military commander, he would have been shot on sight.
01:35:00.000 Right.
01:35:00.000 It's pretty crazy.
01:35:01.000 All right.
01:35:02.000 Rusty Shackelford says, could they really throw Trump in jail with Secret Service in solitary?
01:35:07.000 A Trump, a special jail like Wolf of Wall Street, dude?
01:35:11.000 That was my question, too.
01:35:13.000 That's one thing that Judge Merchant was saying today.
01:35:16.000 If Trump goes into chambers, Secret Service goes into chambers, too.
01:35:20.000 So if Trump goes to jail, Secret Service goes to jail, too.
01:35:25.000 That's right.
01:35:25.000 So this was all covered when he had his booking and his fingerprints taken.
01:35:29.000 That was all gamed out.
01:35:31.000 Secret Service has a plan for that.
01:35:33.000 So yes, Secret Service would have to be with him.
01:35:36.000 Now, if he is convicted, You know, there will be an appeals process and just not being a criminal defense attorney myself, from what I'm seeing right now, there are vast grounds for overturning this verdict on appeal.
01:35:50.000 And so I think it will be years and, you know, hopefully he makes it back to the White House.
01:35:56.000 So we're certainly working hard for that.
01:35:58.000 But I don't think he's going to see real jail time as a defendant.
01:36:04.000 I think that it is going to be possible that Judge Murchin Put some in contempt.
01:36:09.000 That's possible.
01:36:10.000 I hope that Trump wins and then sends the DOJ into New York.
01:36:17.000 Just keep it that simple, I suppose.
01:36:21.000 Sends the DOJ in.
01:36:22.000 The problem is, how woke is most of the federal prosecutorial ranks and the FBI?
01:36:29.000 I'm not worried about that at all because Kash Patel will be in charge of the DOJ.
01:36:34.000 Okay.
01:36:35.000 Yeah, so once he appoints Cash as AG.
01:36:37.000 Oh, I love there was like some media report where the Democrats were freaking out like Cash may be AG and there are like pundits being like, I love it.
01:36:48.000 Cash is great, but that's not happening because he'll never get confirmed.
01:36:55.000 Nobody good is going to get, I mean, nobody like super out there and vocal about these issues today is going to get confirmed as attorney general in But he will be acting AG at least for a moment.
01:37:10.000 Anybody could be acting AG, that's true.
01:37:12.000 And so while they're going, we're not going to confirm— I vote for Mike Davis, but Cash is good too.
01:37:17.000 Maybe Cash for the FBI.
01:37:19.000 Yes.
01:37:21.000 Well, once that happens, then a crack team of loyal dregs will make their way into New York and figure out what's going on over there, huh?
01:37:29.000 I'm not familiar with Mike Davis.
01:37:30.000 He'd be a good guest on the show.
01:37:32.000 Mike Davis is awesome, really smart lawyer, clerk for Clarence Thomas, and is one of the top voices out there supporting President Trump and explaining some of these issues.
01:37:42.000 And he's a great guy inside the beltway, conservative commentator.
01:37:46.000 All right.
01:37:47.000 Fallen Angel says, what if AI gets personhood before a fetus?
01:37:52.000 So, uh, we talked about Udio, which is this AI song generator.
01:37:57.000 And then another big one is Suno.
01:38:00.000 And I just, when I heard Suno, like, Udio was funny.
01:38:03.000 There's a song that Ian was a big fan of called, what is it called?
01:38:07.000 I taped my balls to my butthole.
01:38:09.000 I glued my balls to my butthole again.
01:38:10.000 I don't know if it was made on Suno or on Udio.
01:38:13.000 Udio tends to make songs that have, like, one key.
01:38:15.000 It was Udio.
01:38:16.000 Sunio's all over the place.
01:38:17.000 It makes dynamic key changes and stuff.
01:38:18.000 The reason I'm pretty sure it was Udio is because Suno's moderation is very strict.
01:38:24.000 So if you type in a song by Led Zeppelin, it will convert Led Zeppelin into progressive rock, 1970s, whatever.
01:38:35.000 But on Suno, it will say copyright blocked.
01:38:38.000 So I'm pretty sure it was more lax writing a song of that stature.
01:38:42.000 You can get really granular with it, too.
01:38:44.000 You can write your own lyrics.
01:38:45.000 You can change the chords and make things I just, if you let the AI do it on its own, it's kind of
01:38:49.000 bland at this point, but I, Suno apparently is a different story.
01:38:52.000 Oh, you can write your own lyrics and everything.
01:38:54.000 Yeah.
01:38:55.000 Like he was playing some really dynamic songs.
01:38:57.000 Yeah.
01:38:57.000 And he was pulling up on the fly.
01:38:59.000 I think we are a year or two away from a service where you type in a movie about a boy who finds
01:39:07.000 out he's a wizard and it renders you a movie.
01:39:09.000 It's gonna be able to tap into your brain, sense your emotions, and change the music depending on what you're feeling.
01:39:14.000 Perhaps maybe in the future, but right now what we're looking at with Suno and Udio, the AI generating music.
01:39:20.000 Okay, look.
01:39:21.000 That sounds horrible.
01:39:22.000 Yes, I agree.
01:39:22.000 All of it, yeah.
01:39:24.000 And you can't stop it.
01:39:26.000 The picture generation was already mind-blowing.
01:39:28.000 Going into mid-journey and typing in, like, photorealistic Donald Trump, you know, winning the 100-meter dash at the Olympics.
01:39:35.000 And it makes it, and you're like, wow.
01:39:37.000 Now, you have songs.
01:39:39.000 And so we were skateboarding this weekend, and Richie Jackson, he's a pro skater, he's hanging out upstairs at the new studio, and we're playing regular music on the PA.
01:39:47.000 It was, you know, I'm playing probably Metric.
01:39:50.000 And then my brother sends me Suno, which I'd heard of Udio.
01:39:54.000 So I type in a 50s rockabilly song about Richie Jackson skateboarding, and then I hit render, it takes literally 15 seconds, and then it pops up, I hit play, and it starts playing this rockabilly song, and right as the song is kicking out, Richie walks down the stairs, and the PA goes, Richie Jackson skateboarding down the street, and Richie just freezes like, what's happening?
01:40:16.000 What's going on?
01:40:17.000 What is this?
01:40:18.000 Because if you don't know this AI can generate a song with lyrics about you, Instantly.
01:40:25.000 You just heard this fully produced song on the PA system, and you're like, is someone pranking me right now?
01:40:31.000 Yeah, what's going on?
01:40:32.000 It's crazy.
01:40:33.000 So I thought it'd be a really funny prank to, like, you're driving down the street in your car, and you'll see, like, a guy with, like, a leather jacket and a girl with a leather jacket.
01:40:42.000 Then you type in, you know, a punk rock song about a guy and a girl wearing leather jackets walking down, like, I don't know, like, Jackson Boulevard in Shepherdstown or whatever.
01:40:52.000 Creepy AF.
01:40:53.000 And then pull up next to him and go, how's it going?
01:40:54.000 And you crank the volume and then they'll hear, it's like, well, there was a guy and a girl in leather
01:40:57.000 jackets in Shepherdstown.
01:40:58.000 And they're like, wait, what?
01:40:59.000 Like, what am I listening to?
01:41:01.000 Creepy AF.
01:41:02.000 That is creepy.
01:41:03.000 In a year, maybe, you are going to type it.
01:41:07.000 Like, we already have AI rendered video, which is not very good,
01:41:10.000 but now we have music and then lyrics and pictures.
01:41:13.000 Like, I swear, we're a year or two away.
01:41:16.000 It's on Wikipedia, no doubt.
01:41:18.000 You're just gonna type in, I wanna see a movie, a James Bond movie, and it'll be like, James Bond is copyrighted, but how about a spy thriller starring, you know, this guy, and it'll render the movie for you.
01:41:26.000 Now, that's maybe two years.
01:41:28.000 I think we're a year- It's like plastic food.
01:41:30.000 It's plastic entertainment.
01:41:31.000 Yep.
01:41:31.000 Plastic food.
01:41:32.000 Yep.
01:41:33.000 Plastic water, isn't it?
01:41:33.000 Synthetic.
01:41:34.000 Yeah.
01:41:34.000 Synthetic water.
01:41:35.000 I would say most of the songs we generated suck.
01:41:39.000 If you do instrumental, it's indistinguishable from pop music.
01:41:44.000 You do, write me a pop song instrumental, it will give you Taylor Swift.
01:41:48.000 You then have to write the lyrics though, but the lyrics are always pretty crummy.
01:41:52.000 But yeah, we'll talk about that in the after show and the more worrying ramifications.
01:41:59.000 Antrin Skywalker says, Part 1.
01:42:02.000 I'm from Boston, MA, 21, and a college dropout.
01:42:05.000 I'm trying to find a social life in my 20s around the state.
01:42:09.000 With the amount of woke politics that is happening in the state, what should I do?
01:42:12.000 I want to find attractive women that can hold a conversation to mingle with and gym guys to hang out with instead of woke weirdos.
01:42:19.000 What are your thoughts on the state city based on economics and culture from your experience?
01:42:25.000 I'd recommend going to MAGA country, and then all of your problems will just disappear.
01:42:30.000 I wouldn't go that far.
01:42:32.000 MAGA country?
01:42:32.000 How would they disappear?
01:42:35.000 Well, I am being a bit hyperbolic, but if you move from say like Massachusetts to West Virginia, you're not gonna find woke politics.
01:42:45.000 There's woke politics here and there for sure, but like It's pretty safe, you know.
01:42:50.000 You can actually speak your mind and tell people what you do for a living out here, which is not, which was not true in Brooklyn.
01:42:56.000 Yeah.
01:42:57.000 You come out here, most people are going to be like, typically moderate.
01:43:03.000 You don't, you know, in Western Maryland and in the panhandle, we saw that Trump riding the velociraptor with the machine gun stuff.
01:43:09.000 Yeah, that's cool.
01:43:10.000 But it's, it's always very self-aware.
01:43:12.000 Like they know it's a joke and it's hilarious.
01:43:14.000 No one that we met is like, Trump!
01:43:16.000 Screaming and banging on the walls.
01:43:18.000 They're all fairly exactly as you'd like.
01:43:20.000 They probably watch shows like this and they support Trump and they're just regular working class people.
01:43:26.000 So there you go.
01:43:26.000 You just got to get away from the woke cult centers, I guess.
01:43:28.000 I mean, the smaller town you go to, the more real it's going to get in the United States.
01:43:32.000 Even in blue states.
01:43:33.000 I mean, I'll tell you in California, everyone thinks, oh, everything's like L.A.
01:43:37.000 and San Francisco.
01:43:38.000 You go like 10 miles in from the coast and it's a different state and it's mostly red.
01:43:43.000 Yeah.
01:43:43.000 Take care of your body, too.
01:43:45.000 You'll realize a lot of finding someone's actually within you, and then you'll start to find that you have good chemistry with a lot of people, and then you'll just have to find people you're compatible with.
01:43:56.000 And that will happen naturally.
01:43:58.000 All right.
01:43:58.000 Matthew Hammond says, Congratulations to Brett and Cassandra McDonald on having twins.
01:44:03.000 I second.
01:44:03.000 Congratulations to Cassandra and Brett.
01:44:05.000 Big deal.
01:44:06.000 Nice job.
01:44:06.000 Twins!
01:44:06.000 Exciting.
01:44:07.000 Wow.
01:44:08.000 Yep.
01:44:09.000 Wyatt Caldenberg says, Harmeet, we need a non-profit organization that rates local candidates on how populist America First they are.
01:44:16.000 Judges are impossible to get info on.
01:44:18.000 I vote, but seldom know who I am voting for.
01:44:20.000 Not good.
01:44:22.000 Well, there is a law under 501c3 of the tax code and c4 and others that says that non-profit organizations are limited from getting involved and spending money on political issues per se.
01:44:37.000 However, there are a number of conservative organizations out there that provide information.
01:44:43.000 For example, The Liberty Caucus is a conservative group of libertarian-oriented conservatives, and they rate all members of Congress on their voting records.
01:44:53.000 And so you can literally go to their website and see who's the most libertarian-voting member of Congress, and then they rate all of them in reverse order.
01:45:01.000 What about local candidates?
01:45:02.000 Well, local candidates, I'm sure, with enough funding, these organizations could do that as well.
01:45:07.000 But it's a little more difficult because local tends to be nonpartisan, first of all, in almost all cases, and so you don't get an R or a D after your name to help a little bit with that identification.
01:45:20.000 And so, I think it's a little harder.
01:45:23.000 I'll tell you right now in my town, there's a debate between the pro-housing and the anti-housing.
01:45:29.000 And ironically, the most left-wing, annoying member of the city council is now running for mayor, Board of Supervisors, is a NIMBY.
01:45:38.000 He's against people building housing in San Francisco.
01:45:42.000 And it's actually the More conservative people who want to build housing for people so that they can live.
01:45:47.000 That's not really a right-left issue.
01:45:50.000 It's more kind of inside baseball.
01:45:52.000 So I think it's a little bit harder to translate to nonpartisan races.
01:45:55.000 Yeah, a lot of local races are outright nonpartisan.
01:46:00.000 Yeah, mostly in the United States.
01:46:02.000 Most prosecutors, most board of supervisors, city council, school board, almost all are nonpartisan.
01:46:10.000 They're not, no R or D after the person's name.
01:46:14.000 All right.
01:46:15.000 Oh, bummer, says longtime viewer, first time chatter.
01:46:18.000 Shout out to my best friend, Michael Ryan Murphy.
01:46:20.000 It was his 38th birthday yesterday.
01:46:22.000 He was diagnosed last year with ALS and had to medically retire from the police force.
01:46:27.000 He was screwed out of his retirement because he didn't have enough years served.
01:46:29.000 Touch B.S.
01:46:30.000 I set up a give-send-go under supporting the Murphy family to help with their income loss.
01:46:38.000 Best of luck here.
01:46:40.000 Adrian Curry says Russia joining the fight against Israel is in revelation in the Bible.
01:46:45.000 Really?
01:46:46.000 Also, Nostradamus, according to a bunch of outlets, predicted that something like a Red Force or whatever would start a war in the sea or something like that.
01:46:57.000 Jesus, is that the Republican Party?
01:46:59.000 No, they think it's the Communists.
01:47:01.000 But the Soviets are gone.
01:47:02.000 Oh, these fools.
01:47:03.000 The Chinese Communist Party.
01:47:04.000 Oh, the Chinese Communist Party.
01:47:06.000 Right, and Taiwan.
01:47:08.000 But I mean, to be honest, it's like, if your predictions are super vague, like, there will be a great darkening of the sky.
01:47:14.000 One who wields a black flag will come again.
01:47:16.000 Yeah, right?
01:47:18.000 Okay.
01:47:18.000 And then, like, pick a guy, well, his flag's mostly black.
01:47:24.000 Alright.
01:47:25.000 Amasang.
01:47:27.000 Amasang says, everyone knows World War III began with Harambe's death.
01:47:31.000 Oh, so sad.
01:47:31.000 Okay.
01:47:33.000 Well, that, that was the big change.
01:47:36.000 Around that time is when something happened in this country.
01:47:39.000 Still messes me up.
01:47:40.000 I had an idea for a short film where they turn on the Large Hadron Collider and then they like crank it up to the highest power imaginable and then when it slams a pulse ripples across the planet and it makes every conspiracy theory real because it alters the... and then even the ones that contradict each other.
01:48:00.000 That's awesome.
01:48:01.000 So like Hitler lives on the moon, but he's currently in Argentina vacationing.
01:48:06.000 So like you somehow has to make sense.
01:48:08.000 And he's 130 years old or something.
01:48:10.000 How old would he be?
01:48:11.000 And then he's got conspiracy theories like our conspiracy theories are gaining conspiracy theories.
01:48:16.000 It'll be like the year after COVID.
01:48:19.000 Conspiracies.
01:48:20.000 All the conspiracy theories came true.
01:48:24.000 Alright, Patrick De Niro says the reason will be Biden in 50 years, Tim.
01:48:28.000 LOL.
01:48:28.000 In reference to what started World War 3.
01:48:32.000 I don't know.
01:48:32.000 I think I think Biden may be like a Buchanan.
01:48:34.000 You know, he's just I've never seen a guy in charge of a military with that state of mind.
01:48:40.000 His slow like it's really, really disturbing the way he's just kind of nothing.
01:48:44.000 They just said they're going to start investigating the Baltimore boat crash.
01:48:47.000 Well, they did say it on the first day that they did say that they would do an investigation.
01:48:51.000 And now they're saying it again today.
01:48:53.000 Now they started.
01:48:55.000 Now they're like, maybe there is some criminal culpability in this.
01:48:58.000 What was it, five weeks ago?
01:49:00.000 No, no, we said it was an accident, but now we're concerned about, you know, and these liberals called Marjorie Taylor Greene evil because she said she wanted it investigated.
01:49:09.000 That's absolutely insane to me.
01:49:11.000 I think there's a lot of distraction going on right now, and that's one of them.
01:49:14.000 The bridge thing?
01:49:15.000 Yeah.
01:49:15.000 You don't think it was nefarious?
01:49:17.000 I don't know.
01:49:18.000 But I think that, to your point, suddenly now they're opening up a criminal investigation into what everybody thought should be looked at at the time as a criminal matter and eliminated because that's when you find the facts, not weeks later.
01:49:31.000 So, yeah, I think this is a typical tactic of the left to just keep dropping distracting news stories to, you know, destabilize America's focus.
01:49:42.000 Dan's Hobby says, why is the RNC having the convention in a blue city?
01:49:46.000 This is the problem with the GOP and RNC.
01:49:48.000 Start supporting red areas.
01:49:50.000 Okay, the answer to that is a simple one.
01:49:52.000 The bidding process for RNC and DNC happens a certain period of years out, and then we put out RFPs and cities respond, and we were all, I'd say most of us were hoping that Nashville would be the choice of the Republican National Convention.
01:50:08.000 The two governors, the sitting governor and the prior governor, came and lobbied the RNC.
01:50:12.000 Their food was better, the music scene was going to be awesome, it's a red state.
01:50:17.000 And Nashville City Council happens to be blue and they did not want us and they voted against us.
01:50:21.000 And so we were really left at the altar with a single suitor, Milwaukee.
01:50:26.000 But you can't just go to any city you want?
01:50:28.000 You cannot.
01:50:29.000 There are thousands of hotel rooms required.
01:50:31.000 The National News Mediologist, you know, California, for example, where we can't even fit into one hotel.
01:50:37.000 We're buying up all the hotels, two hotels to fit all of our delegates, the press, and all of that.
01:50:42.000 And I think we were, because all the hotels are controlled by the RNC, is that how it works?
01:50:47.000 Yes.
01:50:48.000 So we're going to be at the RNC in Milwaukee and we had to find alternate means because the RNC basically said, you have no guarantees at all.
01:50:55.000 Good luck.
01:50:56.000 Give us your money.
01:50:56.000 And we were like, no.
01:50:58.000 But to get hotels.
01:50:59.000 So I'm not the one in charge of handling all the event stuff because we have staff for that.
01:51:04.000 Yeah.
01:51:04.000 But something happened where it's like, okay, we need to find hotel rooms for our staff.
01:51:08.000 We're gonna be there producing the show.
01:51:09.000 And so we reached out to a hotel room and they're like, the RNC has everything controlled.
01:51:14.000 And then the RNC said something like, if you book rooms, we can't guarantee they'll be in the same place.
01:51:19.000 We can't guarantee you'll get the room you asked for.
01:51:22.000 So there you go.
01:51:23.000 Airbnb.
01:51:24.000 Yeah.
01:51:25.000 So, but we actually found alternate means of setting everything up.
01:51:29.000 So I think we're going to be like outside the city or something.
01:51:31.000 I don't know.
01:51:31.000 Well, in fact, many of the delegations are way outside the city.
01:51:36.000 It was a point of humor that people who supported me for chair of the RNC were wondering if their state's delegation was going to end up being in Chicago or the next state or something like that.
01:51:48.000 That didn't happen to be true.
01:51:49.000 But yeah, in Cincinnati, in the Cleveland RNC convention, California was two hours away.
01:51:58.000 Now here's the thing, the... There's the RNC and the DNC, and the reason we're not going to the DNC is because the DNC is the dangerous one where people will likely get mercilessly beaten and or killed.
01:52:09.000 And it's in Chicago, which is just like, wow.
01:52:13.000 That seems just like...
01:52:15.000 Chaos.
01:52:16.000 A political nuclear bomb.
01:52:17.000 Well, wasn't it 68 in Chicago?
01:52:19.000 I mean... That was the big one.
01:52:20.000 It's just, you take the chaos of Chicago, add it to the chaos of this year, and the left does not like Joe Biden.
01:52:28.000 They're not going to protest the RNC.
01:52:30.000 I really don't think so.
01:52:32.000 In 2016... Yes, they are.
01:52:34.000 Yeah, but... Okay, in 2016, the protests at the RNC were like...
01:52:40.000 A handful of people.
01:52:42.000 And the protests at the DNC were thousands of people smashing the barricades and jumping in and trying to storm their way into the building.
01:52:48.000 So, in Milwaukee, yeah, you'll probably see some stuff.
01:52:52.000 I mean...
01:52:53.000 You know, I don't know how crazy it would get.
01:52:55.000 We're not really concerned about it.
01:52:57.000 With our assessments and what we expect to happen, the DNC is like, nah, I've grown quite fond of living, so I'll be avoiding that one.
01:53:02.000 But that's the baseline in Chicago is violence.
01:53:04.000 Right.
01:53:05.000 So it's not the baseline in Milwaukee, you know?
01:53:08.000 No, I think Milwaukee will be more terroristic threats.
01:53:11.000 Yes.
01:53:11.000 The far left will be calling venues and bars and hotels.
01:53:14.000 I mean, this Hamas protest nonsense is definitely going to be front and center.
01:53:19.000 But the Hamas people are angry with Biden, not Trump.
01:53:22.000 They don't like Trump.
01:53:23.000 It doesn't matter.
01:53:24.000 It's chaos.
01:53:24.000 It's disrupting.
01:53:25.000 It's getting attention for themselves.
01:53:27.000 They're not angry at the people of San Francisco either, but they're preventing people from getting to the hospital, like getting their organs.
01:53:32.000 Somebody missed an organ transplant when they blocked the Bay Bridge a few weeks ago.
01:53:36.000 And there will be political action of some sort in Milwaukee for the RNC, but the DNC protests, I imagine, are going to be in the thousands.
01:53:45.000 It's going to be violent.
01:53:46.000 It's going to be a mess.
01:53:47.000 They're planning for violence.
01:53:49.000 I mean, the organizers are organizing to be violent, to shut things down, to get in the way, to cause up a big mess and chaos.
01:53:58.000 Yeah, there's a lot of, I mean, for all the despair on our side, there's a lot of, you know, disagreement on the left.
01:54:07.000 Alright!
01:54:08.000 Zierge says, my dad passed away a few days ago.
01:54:11.000 He was murdered by the government at Camp Lejeune.
01:54:15.000 He's in the lawsuit, but they're sitting on his and so many other cases.
01:54:19.000 I need help getting in touch with Trump so he can share my dad's message.
01:54:25.000 I'm sorry to hear about your dad, man.
01:54:27.000 I don't know what to do.
01:54:30.000 Or how to assist with that?
01:54:31.000 Class action lawsuits, for what it's worth, do take years.
01:54:36.000 And then at the end, lawyers make a lot of money.
01:54:39.000 But hopefully with the damages in these cases, there will be good settlements for people.
01:54:44.000 Tyrant says, was trying to super chat about my opinion on the Civil War movie ending, and YouTube won't let me because it's against the policies.
01:54:53.000 Yup!
01:54:54.000 Did you see that movie, Civil War, or hear about it?
01:54:56.000 No.
01:54:57.000 They, you know, Nick Offerman plays the president, and he's saying he's not Trump, and they're saying it's apolitical.
01:55:04.000 It's basically a movie about Trump, or at least the Trump predecessor, you know, and a civil war breaks out in California and Texas, storm DC, and kill the president.
01:55:14.000 Oh boy.
01:55:15.000 Yeah, it's a crazy film.
01:55:17.000 The movie's actually just about journalists on a road trip, but Didn't they make the journalists the heroes?
01:55:22.000 Not really.
01:55:24.000 They're actually scumbags in the film.
01:55:25.000 They're the protagonists, but they're not good people.
01:55:28.000 Yeah, I think the takeaway for the film is that you should hate journalists afterwards, and I'm not making a joke.
01:55:33.000 Well, you probably should.
01:55:36.000 There's a scene where there's gunfire and people are being killed, and the one journalist looks at the younger journalist and he smiles and nods, and she smiles back at him.
01:55:45.000 Why?
01:55:46.000 Because this is what journalists do in conflict.
01:55:50.000 When I saw that, I loved it.
01:55:52.000 I'm like, people need to understand that in war reporting, these journalists are basically cranking themselves off to what's going on.
01:56:00.000 They're excited.
01:56:01.000 They love it.
01:56:01.000 They get a thrill from it.
01:56:03.000 They smile and laugh when they watch people getting shot.
01:56:05.000 I'm not exaggerating.
01:56:06.000 That's awful.
01:56:07.000 In the movie, the tanks are rolling in, there's guys up on a building, they blow him up, and then he looks over and he smiles, he's like, yeah, and she's like, yeah, and then starts taking pictures.
01:56:17.000 That's what they do.
01:56:19.000 And I was like, I'm glad they're showing people this.
01:56:21.000 I'm glad I'm not a journalist.
01:56:23.000 There's that photo I like to show where, we showed it last week, there's a dead girl who got hit by a stray gunfire and she's collapsed and dead.
01:56:31.000 And then one of the photographers- Is this in the film?
01:56:33.000 No, no, no, this is real life.
01:56:34.000 Oh, this is real life.
01:56:35.000 One of the photographers, it was in Haiti, in Port-au-Prince, was surrounded by a gaggle of photographers all just snapping endless photos of a dead girl on the ground.
01:56:42.000 So he got up and walked to the side and took a picture of the press taking a picture of the dead girl so people could see what it was like.
01:56:48.000 And that was the award-winning photo of what the journalists do.
01:56:52.000 I remember in in what was it 2021 there was was it 2020 anyway it was sometime and there was a walkaway rally remember those walkaway rallies and there was a there was like a there were all the walkaway people and then there was a little tiny protest of people against the walkaway people and one of the walkaway people went over to And it was like a man and a woman, one on one side with one kind of sign and one with the opposing sign, and they just stood there having a conversation.
01:57:23.000 And it got a little heated, but I did the same thing.
01:57:27.000 I took a step back and what there was were 20 photographers and reporters all shooting pictures of this like major conflict of two people having a conversation at the edge of a rally.
01:57:39.000 And for me, that was the biggest takeaway, and I have it in a pretty prominent place, and I look at it and I'm like, correct.
01:57:47.000 It's not the thing, it's this.
01:57:48.000 They call themselves vultures.
01:57:50.000 Yeah, they look like it.
01:57:51.000 That is not an insult.
01:57:52.000 They call themselves vultures, and that's what they do.
01:57:58.000 So it's funny when you'll get murmurings of a major protest or something, and then my favorite are when 10 protesters show up and there's 100 press.
01:58:09.000 And then those journalists are there, and many of them are on assignment, so they're like, we have to get something from this.
01:58:15.000 And so... Especially the stringers.
01:58:18.000 So they, oh yeah, I need money, and so they will manufacture.
01:58:23.000 They will, a guy will, you know, pick up a bottle and then chuck it over into a garbage can, take a picture, and they'll say, violent protester throws bottle or who knows what.
01:58:32.000 Whatever they can make happen out of it.
01:58:35.000 Yeah, it's hard.
01:58:36.000 It's theater.
01:58:36.000 Yeah, well then the best part is the far right at least has a dramatic story arc the far left has a saying
01:58:42.000 Don't smash cameras. They can pay your rent Well, that makes sense
01:58:48.000 Right.
01:58:49.000 And one of the most interesting, I'll put it this way, moments was at the no-NATO protests 12 years ago.
01:58:56.000 Antifa had formed a line and then abruptly yelled, get the press!
01:59:00.000 And then they all started charging at the journalists and the journalists panicked and fled.
01:59:05.000 One thing I really love about journalists, and this is meant to be sarcastic, is when Someone will be seriously injured.
01:59:13.000 I saw a person who was bleeding, seriously, from the head, in Chicago, and medics were attending to him, and the journalists were shoving people out of the way, they get pictures of the person bleeding out, and the medics were like, these are activist medics too, they were like, can you get that camera out of our faces?
01:59:29.000 And the person was bleeding, was yelling, please stop, please stop, and the journalists don't care, they shove you out of the way, and there's like five guys, and they're just snapping away.
01:59:37.000 You don't exist to them.
01:59:39.000 And so then it was shortly after that they yelled, get the press, and then they started attacking journalists.
01:59:43.000 And I'm like, yeah, well, you know, I'm not surprised.
01:59:46.000 Interesting.
01:59:47.000 Yep.
01:59:47.000 Not all conflict reporters are bad.
01:59:49.000 I've worked with a lot of good ones.
01:59:50.000 We make fun of the bad ones, but there's so many bad ones.
01:59:53.000 They laugh and they smile and they gloat and they cheer for this stuff.
01:59:56.000 It's been on my mind a lot, maybe since we saw that movie, maybe that's why, that people that chase rage for money.
02:00:00.000 And it's so easy to get people angry and then they agree with you and then they Sounds like you're describing social media influencers.
02:00:07.000 In my career, I feel like sometimes I'm like, we talk about problems and it's like, we have to walk the line about not like just giving over to the love.
02:00:14.000 Where are the problems?
02:00:15.000 I need more problems or I can't be profitable tonight.
02:00:18.000 That's right.
02:00:19.000 I'll grab one more here.
02:00:20.000 Kane Abel says, Jordan Peterson is more like a dad.
02:00:23.000 Matt Walsh is a best friend, but not sure about a dad.
02:00:26.000 I disagree.
02:00:27.000 It's the other way around.
02:00:28.000 I agree.
02:00:29.000 Jordan Peterson is the guy who's like, you've got to get your life straight, man.
02:00:32.000 What are you doing?
02:00:33.000 You know, like clean your room.
02:00:34.000 And you're like, you know, you're right.
02:00:35.000 He buys you another beer.
02:00:37.000 Yeah, Matt Walsh is the guy who's like, shut your mouth, you idiot.
02:00:40.000 You clean your room now or you're not getting ice cream, you know?
02:00:43.000 Like, he's the more serious, stern, shut up, get it done kind of guy.
02:00:47.000 Well, he's got more kids, too.
02:00:49.000 Yeah.

02:02:18.000 I'm going to talk about the COVID restrictions and how It is the civil rights crisis of my lifetime, and so that'll be available, I'm sure, on congressional websites.
