Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - RFK Jr Team Prep TRUMP ENDORSEMENT, Fear Helping Kamala Harris Win w-Brandon Straka | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 So, apparently right now at the DNC, Matt Walsh is in disguise on the DNC floor and

00:00:27.000 they're all getting really mad about it.

00:00:29.000 So, you know, that's funny.

00:00:31.000 But we do have big news.

00:00:32.000 RFK Jr., his team, very angry about how the Democrats have waged lawfare against them, have announced that they're planning, potentially, to drop out and endorse Donald Trump.

00:00:46.000 So this is actually pretty big news.

00:00:48.000 We'll talk about that.

00:00:49.000 Plus Kamala Harris's unrealized gains tax that is only for the wealthy, I think would probably be the destruction of this country. 1.00

00:00:57.000 And they know it.

00:00:58.000 They know it.

00:00:59.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:00.000 Plus, we'll talk a little bit about what Joe Biden was saying last night, and a bunch of other stories.

00:01:05.000 I'm getting really interested to see what's going on with Matt Walsh there.

00:01:09.000 They're saying he's posing as a delegate, so this is gonna be pretty funny.

00:01:12.000 And they're doing their fake vote right now, which is funny because they already voted for her, and there's like a chyron saying, like, technically they already voted for her, like, last week, so this is just celebratory.

00:02:14.000 Hey, it's been a perilous journey to get to Temcast this evening, but always a pleasure to be here, and good to see you guys.

00:02:20.000 You're being persecuted by electric vehicles, right?

00:02:23.000 Man, it was something else.

00:02:26.000 Who are you?

00:02:26.000 What do you do?

00:02:27.000 I want this full story.

00:02:28.000 Oh, thank you.

00:02:28.000 Sorry, I'm Brandon Strock, founder of the WalkAway campaign.

00:02:31.000 And for anybody who maybe has been on social media in the last week, I just dropped a new video talking about all the things that Democrats have done to destroy the country over the last six years, which has been kind of blowing up on X. Give it a look if you haven't seen it yet and share it out.

00:02:45.000 And also, WalkAway's running a big contest we'll be talking about, the WalkAway $10,000 Testimonial Video Challenge.

00:02:51.000 That sounds cool.

00:02:53.000 We're giving away $10,000 to the best WalkAway video.

00:02:53.000 Really cool.

00:02:56.000 Like the best explanation, most charismatic, you know, revelation about how they walked away from the Democratic Party.

00:03:01.000 Yeah.

00:03:01.000 Absolutely.

00:03:02.000 Between now and basically November 1st.

00:03:03.000 So we're just, we're taking in videos.

00:03:05.000 People can go to walkwaychallenge.com to check it out.

00:03:08.000 But yeah, we just want people to share their walkway stories and we're going to give away 10 grand.

00:03:12.000 Well, if you didn't figure it out yet, I'm back.

00:03:13.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:14.000 Good to see you guys.

00:03:16.000 And what a night to be here with you, dude.

00:03:17.000 Always love seeing Brandon Strock in the house.

00:03:19.000 I'm back from Miami, where I was doing a lung cleanse, playing a crap load of music, and controlling the weather.

00:03:25.000 I don't know if you guys do this a lot, but you can use your magnetic field.

00:03:28.000 Yeah, dude.

00:03:29.000 You use your magnetic field to interact with the clouds' magnetic field, and you send positive energy into the clouds.

00:03:34.000 It disperses them like oil into water.

00:03:36.000 Or you can draw negative energy and create vortexes.

00:03:39.000 I did it in front of Luke.

00:03:40.000 He'll ask Luke about it, 100%.

00:03:42.000 I've done it every time I do it, it works.

00:03:44.000 Don't you go to like a hurricane zone then and help people out?

00:03:47.000 It works.

00:03:47.000 It's more effective when there's high moisture content in the air.

00:03:50.000 It's easier to move it around.

00:03:52.000 In deserts and stuff, it's a little more challenging.

00:03:54.000 Like the Bahamas when they got pummeled by a hurricane.

00:03:56.000 Yeah, we were getting a night, we were out on the beach and it was just dark clouds coming

00:03:59.000 in and everyone was worried about rain.

00:04:00.000 So I did the positive energy, folk channeling positive energy and they just dispersed.

00:04:04.000 So we had a nice evening.

00:04:05.000 And Luke was like, make it rain, dude.

00:04:06.000 I was like, are you sure, man?

00:04:08.000 Because he's like, make it rain.

00:04:09.000 So I focused the negative energy like in three seconds, lightning shattered across the sky.

00:04:13.000 And I just kept focusing the negative energy.

00:04:15.000 And it just kept coming.

00:04:16.000 And he looked on the radar.

00:04:17.000 He's like, it looks like a tornado is coming.

00:04:19.000 So it started to rain.

00:04:21.000 People were running, covering their heads.

00:04:22.000 So I started to focus the positive energy again and slowly got pushed it all away.

00:04:26.000 Well, that proves it.

00:04:27.000 Yeah.

00:04:28.000 Anyway, Hannah Clare's here, too.

00:04:29.000 Hi, Hannah Clare.

00:04:30.000 I'm Rimmel.

00:04:31.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

00:04:32.000 That's Scanner News.

00:04:33.000 Check out their work at Tim Kelsey News.

00:04:34.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:04:35.000 Let's get started.

00:04:36.000 Anyway, back to reality.

00:04:37.000 We have the story from The Guardian.

00:04:39.000 RFK Jr.

00:04:40.000 considers dropping out to help Trump, Running Mate says.

00:04:43.000 Nicole Shannon says she and independent 2024 candidate could walk away and join forces with Donald Trump. 0.98

00:04:50.000 I think I have walk away.

00:04:52.000 Look at that.

00:04:52.000 Here's the clip for you guys.

00:04:53.000 Let's just roll tape.

00:04:55.000 There's two options that we're looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes from Trump.

00:05:16.000 We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision.

00:05:30.000 Not easy.

00:05:35.000 Clearly.

00:05:36.000 So I think the big story was that they got pulled off of the ballot in New York.

00:05:41.000 I think that was huge news.

00:05:42.000 And in this podcast, actually a much, much longer conversation, Shanann talks about how they're basically waging, the Democrats are waging extreme lawfare against them.

00:05:51.000 And Trump's actually been receptive to their ideas.

00:05:55.000 And I've been saying this.

00:05:57.000 RFK Jr.' 's passion for chronic illnesses and environmental toxins, that's the Trump path right there.

00:06:06.000 He goes to Trump, gives Trump the endorsement, Trump should put him on some kind of board managing or overseeing this kind of stuff.

00:06:12.000 Yeah, I thought actually, I haven't seen very many interviews with Nicole Shanahan, and I actually thought this one was pretty compelling.

00:06:18.000 It's obviously a deeply emotional conversation for her, and they covered a lot of stuff, including policies, but she said that the DNC has effectively sabotaged them, and they have this PAC that has been using millions of dollars to target them specifically.

00:06:34.000 She even alluded to people being in their campaigns specifically to You know, cause chaos and all kinds of problems.

00:06:40.000 But I found it really interesting hearing her talk about the effect of being a third party candidate.

00:06:45.000 She said, you know, if we get 5% or more of the vote, then that unlocks public funding for us.

00:06:49.000 That means that next year in 2028, we could run a more legitimate third party candidate.

00:06:56.000 And 71% of Americans want that.

00:06:58.000 I don't know where she got that number from, but I believe it.

00:07:00.000 I think there are a lot of Americans who are frustrated with the stranglehold the two dominant parties have on American politics.

00:07:06.000 And so, When I first saw this clip this morning, I thought, hopefully she has talked to RFK and he knows that she's saying these things publicly.

00:07:15.000 Otherwise, it really seems like there's chaos within their ticket.

00:07:18.000 But it is interesting to hear her way sort of like what it means to be a third party candidate in America versus what is actually good for the country.

00:07:27.000 Yeah.

00:07:28.000 But don't you feel like the fact that they're basically being bullied out by the Democrats and all the and the Democrats using all the usual tactics, lawfare, corrupt, you know, devious behavior, all of these things.

00:07:43.000 And they're willing to actually get behind Trump if they drop out.

00:07:45.000 I mean, doesn't that tell you so much?

00:07:47.000 And it wasn't even consideration from the beginning for them, it seems like, for them to join or endorse Harris's campaign.

00:07:53.000 She even said, Shanahan said, she regretted supporting Democrats in the past.

00:07:58.000 It's the biggest mistake of her life.

00:07:59.000 I mean, that's pretty strong language.

00:08:01.000 And she's saying, you know, she has this line where she's like, we didn't want to be a spoiler candidate, but the DNC has forced us into a position where we are, and we wanted to win, we wanted a fair shot, and the DNC has made that impossible.

00:08:11.000 But she's not saying that they're being bullied and pushed around by both camps.

00:08:14.000 No, she said specifically it was not the RNC.

00:08:17.000 Right!

00:08:18.000 Yeah, but doesn't that tell you so much?

00:08:20.000 You know, as the left is telling us that we're the authoritarians, we're the biggest, we're the ones abusing lawfare, we're... No.

00:08:27.000 I mean, this should prove it.

00:08:29.000 They installed a candidate.

00:08:32.000 Kamala Harris was an installation no one voted for.

00:08:34.000 That's crazy.

00:08:34.000 That's full authoritarianism.

00:08:36.000 Kind of an example of with in politics.

00:08:38.000 I'm a bit of an idealist just in life and in general and I like in 2016.

00:08:41.000 I voted for Jill Stein because I'm like, I don't like Hillary.

00:08:44.000 I don't like Trump.

00:08:44.000 I'm voting for the one I believe in the most but the thing about politics is it's a game.

00:08:49.000 It's like it's like a game of organization and strategy where you vote against.

00:08:53.000 Sometimes to get things through, you make deals with people that you don't agree with to get your part of your deal through, like what the Libertarian Party did with Chase Oliver.

00:09:01.000 They basically colluded behind the scenes to get that guy into power.

00:09:05.000 The two of the frontrunners decided together, like, let's just bury the hatchet and we'll make Chase our candidate.

00:09:11.000 And the reality is, It destroyed the party.

00:09:17.000 It's ripped the Libertarian Party to shreds.

00:09:20.000 You've got Mises caucus, Libertarian Party members openly endorsing Donald Trump right now. 0.98

00:09:26.000 The Libertarian Party's backroom deals with their garbage candidates destroyed whatever chance they had. 0.98

00:09:30.000 But you know what? 0.99

00:09:31.000 I gotta tell you.

00:09:32.000 I was saying this this morning.

00:09:33.000 I would not want to be Clint or Dave if Trump loses.

00:09:39.000 If you actually were the nominee for the Libertarian Party and Trump lost and they actually did get 3 or 4 percent, everyone's gonna be like, it's your fault.

00:09:46.000 That 3 percent could have got Trump over 1.

00:09:49.000 I was just out to dinner with Clint last weekend on Friday, I think it was, and he said the exact same thing.

00:09:53.000 He's like, could you have imagined if we did it and then Trump... I was like, you guys would have got 12 percent of the vote.

00:09:57.000 You and Dave.

00:09:58.000 And he's like, we probably would have taken it from Trump, too.

00:10:00.000 So here's my question for you, Ian.

00:10:02.000 You say you don't know if you want to vote for Donald Trump.

00:10:04.000 You'd consider voting for him if RFK drops out and endorses him.

00:10:08.000 Yeah, I would.

00:10:09.000 So you pointed out that Kamala Harris was installed.

00:10:12.000 No one voted for her.

00:10:13.000 And so we're presented with two scenarios.

00:10:16.000 Let's throw all policy aside, though Kamala Harris and Tim Walz haven't presented any, and let's just entertain the surface.

00:10:23.000 Fascistic, authoritarian, threats to democracy, etc.

00:10:26.000 This is what everyone's saying right now.

00:10:27.000 It's polarization, it's tribal.

00:10:29.000 You know, Joe Rogan, recently he was talking to, I think it was Russell Crowe, And he's saying, you know, it's all my team, tribal this, tribal that.

00:10:38.000 I think that statement exemplifies exactly what I was warning about with these Trump influencers who are attacking Joe.

00:10:44.000 Joe is like, I'm outside this, man.

00:10:45.000 I don't want to be involved in your catfight.

00:10:47.000 OK?

00:10:48.000 So I don't view it that way.

00:10:50.000 I think what we're looking at is the Republican Party had a brutal primary.

00:10:56.000 The Ron DeSantis voters despised the Trump voters.

00:10:59.000 And there was a brutal internal conflict.

00:11:01.000 And even Vivek Ramaswamy He's running, and there were a lot of... Now, his strategy was, play nice with Trump, but see if I can mulch that support from people who think Trump may not be the right guy right now.

00:11:12.000 A lot of people were on Team Vivek, saying, no, no, Trump is great, he's a smart guy, he was mistreated.

00:11:19.000 We like Vivek, though.

00:11:20.000 They were trying to be very careful about how they went about it.

00:11:22.000 DeSantis' people were brutal!

00:11:24.000 I mean, they were absolutely brutal, they were insulting people, they were attacking them, and the Trump supporters were attacking the DeSantis people.

00:11:30.000 Through this primary, you ended up with DeSantis supporters begrudgingly saying, fine, you guys win, Trump's the candidate, we still don't like him, but we recognize he's better than Kamala.

00:11:40.000 There is a faction, there are numerous factions on the right who have chosen to or not to vote for Donald Trump in the primary, resulting in him ultimately being the winner.

00:11:50.000 And now many people say, fine, I'll vote for Trump because I've weighed the pros and cons and it makes sense.

00:11:54.000 On the Democrat side, they installed her. 0.99

00:11:57.000 They cheated the primary.

00:11:58.000 They ripped off RFK Jr.

00:12:00.000 In the past, Bernie Sanders twice.

00:12:02.000 They did it to make sure there could be no popular selection in the Democratic Party.

00:12:07.000 And so, surface level threat to democracy.

00:12:12.000 We're looking at two frontrunners.

00:12:15.000 Kamala Harris, it's laughably absurd, but don't disrespect the polls.

00:12:19.000 Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong, who cares?

00:12:20.000 And Donald Trump.

00:12:22.000 Donald Trump is the candidate of a brutal primary process and a democratic process among people who thought, fine, he's not my candidate, but I'd consider voting for him, and the Trump supporters who are screaming and cheering and banging their heads saying, woo, we love Trump no matter what.

00:12:35.000 The Democrat side is people screaming and cheering Kamala, Kamala, despite the fact nobody voted for her in the first place.

00:12:41.000 I don't see how you don't vote Trump.

00:12:43.000 Yeah, the only way I would not vote Trump is if I really, really hated the guy or disliked him or disapproved of his policies or something like that.

00:12:51.000 But this is the reason I bring this up.

00:12:53.000 You are not voting for Trump.

00:12:55.000 You are voting for the last vestige of an actual democratic process.

00:12:59.000 If the Democrats succeed, it's not just about Kamala Harris becoming president and winning power.

00:13:04.000 It's about them proving they can steal it.

00:13:08.000 Man, I've been thinking that all day, dude.

00:13:10.000 It's so disheartening to think that they just installed a candidate and that people are cheering.

00:13:15.000 And so on the surface, this is my point, you're not just voting for candidates, you're voting for two systems.

00:13:21.000 Trump represents an ugly system where people fight.

00:13:25.000 Trump is by far not the best candidate anyone could absolutely hope for.

00:13:28.000 He's the best we've got.

00:13:29.000 And I think marginally good in a lot of areas, particularly foreign policy, was pretty good.

00:13:33.000 Despite the fact many people don't like each other, we've come together and said, this is how America works.

00:13:38.000 We ultimately say this is what's best for the country, even if it's not exactly what we want.

00:13:42.000 The Democrats are, take it or else.

00:13:44.000 We control the system, you get no say.

00:13:46.000 And they're celebrating right now at the DNC, which system are you voting for?

00:13:50.000 Because if the Democrats succeed in this endeavor, it lays the groundwork for what this country becomes in the next 4, 8, 12, 16 years.

00:13:58.000 They are going to repeat the process and they're going to say, we no longer need democracy.

00:14:02.000 We no longer need to allow anyone vote.

00:14:05.000 We, the political elites, decide who's in charge, and the people of this country have supported that.

00:14:09.000 I guess technically that's what superdelegates have been the entire time.

00:14:12.000 This is just blatant.

00:14:12.000 Absolutely.

00:14:13.000 Now they've just blatantly shown us they didn't even use superdelegates this time.

00:14:16.000 Or maybe they did.

00:14:17.000 I'm not sure how they installed or exactly.

00:14:19.000 They did, but they decided outside of a primary.

00:14:22.000 The primary chose Joe Biden, and they knew from the beginning this was... You will never convince me they didn't know we were going this direction.

00:14:30.000 That's why I'll scream it to the high heavens.

00:14:32.000 In September, I think 13th, I put out a video on my morning show saying Biden will not be the nominee.

00:14:37.000 I said, after everything we've seen, I have no idea how he could possibly be the nominee.

00:14:42.000 And of course, I had my doubts after that.

00:14:43.000 I'm like, man, it's March.

00:14:45.000 I don't know how they pull him out, if it's even possible.

00:14:47.000 They did it.

00:14:48.000 Everybody was predicting this.

00:14:49.000 We knew they were playing a dirty game, a shadow campaign.

00:14:53.000 My point ultimately is this.

00:14:55.000 Donald Trump has policies.

00:14:57.000 I think mostly good.

00:14:58.000 We can argue some of them and say, well, that one doesn't seem right.

00:15:01.000 He's had bad hires.

00:15:02.000 He had Operation Warp Speed.

00:15:03.000 But at least it still represents people choosing through a democratic system.

00:15:03.000 We disagree.

00:15:09.000 If you don't support that, it doesn't matter what Kamala Harris supports, because we don't even know what she supports.

00:15:14.000 She's lied and she's got garbled nonsense and no policies on her website. 1.00

00:15:18.000 You are basically saying autocratic America from this point forward.

00:15:22.000 I like that.

00:15:23.000 I like the idea, not the autocratic America, but I like the idea that you're voting for a system and not a person.

00:15:28.000 I think it's terrifying.

00:15:29.000 I don't think it should be that way.

00:15:30.000 It shouldn't be.

00:15:30.000 It should be that the Democrats offer up someone who's marginally good and the Republicans offer up someone who's marginally good and we go, ugh, we roll our eyes and say, well, look, you know, ultimately there's a few social issues.

00:15:40.000 That's how it used to be.

00:15:41.000 Don't screw it up too bad, good luck kind of thing.

00:15:43.000 Now, the real American election was DeSantis versus Trump.

00:15:47.000 That was the actual election where we're trying to decide, do we want a Ron DeSantis style governance?

00:15:52.000 It's calm.

00:15:53.000 It's less ostentatious, I suppose I can call it.

00:15:57.000 Or Trump, which is more aggressive.

00:15:59.000 Trump represents slightly different policies from Ron DeSantis.

00:16:02.000 Ron DeSantis is a little bit more, I think he represented The right populist faction a bit better than Trump did.

00:16:09.000 You know, Ron DeSantis was very critical of some of the things that Trump had done, and Ron's governance in Florida very much reflected the will of many, like the popular positions of the right.

00:16:19.000 But Donald Trump has the charisma to win.

00:16:21.000 So there was a big debate over whether Trump was the right guy, DeSantis was the right guy.

00:16:24.000 Long story short, we chose.

00:16:26.000 We voted.

00:16:27.000 Brandon, when you walked away from the Democratic Party, was it because of the way that they handled the 2016 election with Hillary subverting Bernie?

00:16:35.000 What was it exactly?

00:16:36.000 No, I was a big Hillary supporter. 0.82

00:16:38.000 And I actually supported Hillary going back to 2008 when it was her versus Obama.

00:16:45.000 And then when it became Obama, I got behind him and I supported him.

00:16:49.000 No, for me, it mostly had to do with the media and the way that the media manipulates and basically carries water for the Democrats.

00:16:58.000 Because when Trump got elected, In 2016, the media that I trusted, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, etc., by that point they were saying he had a 3% chance of winning.

00:17:10.000 So I didn't even question that she was going to win in a landslide.

00:17:14.000 It was 100%.

00:17:14.000 So then when she didn't, I was like, what the hell just happened?

00:17:18.000 How is it possible that the media that I trusted got this so wrong?

00:17:21.000 And also they've been saying for 18 months that he is the second coming of Hitler.

00:17:25.000 Why would anybody vote for him?

00:17:27.000 Not only why did he win, but why does anyone support this?

00:17:31.000 And so my journey began with asking these questions.

00:17:34.000 How did the media get it wrong?

00:17:35.000 Why would anybody vote for him?

00:17:36.000 And then I just kind of went back to the beginning of the campaign and I researched every moment that they had lied about.

00:17:41.000 Did he call Mexicans rapists?

00:17:43.000 Did he mock a disabled reporter? 0.99

00:17:44.000 Did he advocate for expelling Muslims from this country?

00:17:48.000 And what I discovered time and time again was in every single instance, they were Taking something that wasn't true at all, but isolating a soundbite and kind of creating their own narrative.

00:17:57.000 And that they're just basically a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party.

00:18:02.000 Well, take a look at what just happened the other day from S.E.N.R.

00:18:05.000 Biden repeats debunked very fine people claim during his DNC speech.

00:18:11.000 I think we have the clip here.

00:18:12.000 Take a listen to this.

00:18:13.000 We'll pull this one up here on X from Kyle Becker.

00:18:16.000 Nearly four years ago.

00:18:17.000 Oh, he's got the full clip.

00:18:19.000 It's five years.

00:18:24.000 I'm not going to play the full five minute clip, but he actually said, Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides.

00:18:31.000 My God, that's what he said.

00:18:32.000 That is what he said.

00:18:33.000 That's what he meant.

00:18:35.000 It's a lie.

00:18:37.000 And he knows it's a lie.

00:18:38.000 He knows it's a lie.

00:18:38.000 Of course he does.

00:18:39.000 The Democrats know it's a lie.

00:18:40.000 So ultimately it comes down to this.

00:18:41.000 And I ask again, I don't understand where Joe Rogan Dave Smith, Michael Maus, Clint Russell, Luke Gretkowski.

00:18:49.000 Now Luke has worn the shirt saying convicted felon for president, so I think it's clear Luke intends to vote for Donald Trump.

00:18:55.000 But to, and I don't know where Michael and Dave are, I'm just saying these are, you know, Joe Rogan's a middle-of-the-road guy, he's independent, he's like, I don't know, RFK makes sense to me.

00:19:03.000 Dave Smith is a Libertarian Mises Caucus guy, Michael is an anarchist, but I have to imagine each one of these people in any rational conversation says, yeah, you gotta vote for Trump.

00:19:11.000 There's no question.

00:19:12.000 Donald Trump represents, at the bare minimum, the last thread of a democratic process in this country.

00:19:18.000 I'm an artist by trade and like the idea of picking a polarizing candidate and voting for him and upsetting half of the people I know in the world and ostracizing myself from their cultural realm is disconcerting because I want to make them happy through music and I want them doing so that I can bring people together.

00:19:35.000 But I have to follow my integrity and look back on this as like I voted for the system.

00:19:41.000 I wanted to maintain the democratic process.

00:19:44.000 Where you get to vote and choose your candidates.

00:19:46.000 I cannot tolerate a system where we're just given candidates.

00:19:50.000 That's not anarchy.

00:19:51.000 That's totalitarianism.

00:19:52.000 So how could you then say now that you wouldn't vote for Donald Trump?

00:19:56.000 Well, I was going to vote for RFK.

00:19:57.000 And this is actually that they might be throwing their weight behind RFK.

00:20:00.000 He hasn't dropped out.

00:20:01.000 So like if RFK doesn't drop out and he doesn't endorse Donald Trump, are you going to vote for Trump or are you going to vote for RFK?

00:20:07.000 Probably RFK.

00:20:09.000 So I can respect anybody saying they want to vote for who they want to vote for because that's the right candidate, because if everyone did, this country would be very different, but I also respect the point that you're basically not voting.

00:20:19.000 Yeah, I know.

00:20:20.000 You've got to play the political game.

00:20:21.000 That's my ideological bent.

00:20:24.000 It just doesn't mesh with politics.

00:20:25.000 Can I ask, though, if RFK drops out and you're willing to vote for Trump, why not just vote for Trump anyway, knowing that RFK can't win?

00:20:36.000 Man, you know the main reason why I've been resistant to vote for Trump in the last year or two is because I don't want to upset half the people I know.

00:20:42.000 It's a real weak way to do it, but I'm like, if I can just hold on and be the cultural centerpiece of my reality, and you don't have to tell people who you vote for.

00:20:49.000 That's part of this process.

00:20:50.000 It's a secret ballot.

00:20:52.000 Probably the purpose of it is so you don't have to upset half the people you know.

00:20:55.000 So maybe I just won't vote.

00:20:57.000 And not tell anyone who I did or didn't vote for.

00:21:00.000 That is the secret Trump voter that we're hoping exists and turns out.

00:21:04.000 I think there are.

00:21:05.000 I think a lot of people, and maybe people don't think this is true in 2016, but in 2016 in particular, I felt like there were so many people who were like, oh no, I didn't vote, but they would, if you knew them well enough, would be like, I voted for Trump.

00:21:17.000 They didn't want to admit it.

00:21:19.000 You know, I want to go back to something you said before, which is talking about the propaganda arm of the DNC.

00:21:24.000 And I think this is such a big part of how democratic campaigns in America work right now.

00:21:30.000 It's made me think of Tim Walz, this vice president who is getting caught time and time again in these sort of like Half lies. 1.00

00:21:38.000 Like the thing today is he had implied, you know, he'd said JD Vance is a bad guy and he's saying bad stuff about IVF, which is very personal to me and my wife, implying that he had used in vitro fertilization to have his children.

00:21:49.000 It turns out he's had used IUI, a different fertility treatment.

00:21:52.000 But again, it's just these misdirection and lies where at a certain point, like, You just wonder why they cannot pick an honest path at all.

00:22:00.000 And I think ultimately it's because they have certain punches they want to throw and they'll do whatever they can to try and make the Republicans look bad at the cost of their integrity to the voters.

00:22:08.000 I kind of just think they're evil.

00:22:11.000 They're like manipulative imperialists. 0.75

00:22:13.000 Look, look, everybody's encountered someone like this.

00:22:16.000 Be it in Magic the Gathering or a sporting event, basketball, golf, people who lie about their scores, people who slip cards on top of the deck, people who cheat because it's the fastest path towards victory.

00:22:29.000 People cheat.

00:22:30.000 They exist.

00:22:30.000 And the Democratic Party represents the cheater coalition coalescing.

00:22:35.000 I'm not going to give Republicans an easy pass on this one. 1.00

00:22:38.000 The Republican Party's garbage, for the most part. 0.99

00:22:41.000 But Donald Trump represents something slightly different. 1.00

00:22:43.000 But none of that actually matters.

00:22:45.000 What matters is, right now, sure, the Republicans have their bad elements.

00:22:49.000 McCarthy, backroom deals.

00:22:50.000 I'm glad Matt Gaetz got him ousted.

00:22:52.000 But at least we chose who the candidate was going to be for us.

00:22:57.000 And it was brutal.

00:22:58.000 And friendships were lost.

00:23:00.000 There were friendships that we had had on this show, for people who had come on this show, and we got into arguments over the Republican primary.

00:23:08.000 The Democratic Party is... it's a cult.

00:23:10.000 They've selected.

00:23:11.000 They cheer.

00:23:12.000 They're voting for nothing.

00:23:13.000 There's no campaign promises.

00:23:15.000 There's no policies.

00:23:16.000 That's the terrifying reality right now.

00:23:18.000 You're talking about cheating and how, like, in games you don't cheat.

00:23:20.000 You don't... sportsmanship is real in games.

00:23:22.000 If you cheat, you honor.

00:23:24.000 But in war, you cheat to win.

00:23:26.000 You do whatever you gotta do to win in war or you die.

00:23:28.000 There is no cheating in war.

00:23:30.000 Exactly.

00:23:30.000 And that's how I think these politicians are treating it.

00:23:33.000 It's like, this is control of the military.

00:23:34.000 This is why I say...

00:23:36.000 Donald Trump lost in 2020.

00:23:38.000 Joe Biden won.

00:23:40.000 And it's because Republicans—it was really funny, we had a great super chat last night where they said that the Democrats are the Romulans and the Republicans are the Klingons. 0.98

00:23:47.000 And for those that don't know anything about Star Trek, basically the Romulans in the series are dirty, deceitful, arrogant. 1.00

00:23:54.000 They use false flag attacks. 0.98

00:23:56.000 And the Klingons are an honor-bound race that couldn't dare, but they're actually still kind of corrupt. 1.00

00:24:01.000 It's actually a pretty funny comparison for those that know.

00:24:03.000 But Republicans are like, but we won the argument!

00:24:07.000 We successfully argued our positions and everyone agreed with us!

00:24:10.000 How did we lose?

00:24:11.000 We didn't lose, you cheated!

00:24:12.000 And the Democrats are like, all is fair in love and war.

00:24:15.000 The Democrats were like, while you were so busy looking at the spirit of the rules, we rules lawyered to make sure we were going to win any way we could.

00:24:22.000 Because power doesn't care how you got it.

00:24:25.000 And the Republicans keep doing this, and I hope to God they're not doing it this time, where they're like, if we just argue again, we'll win!

00:24:32.000 And Democrats are going, don't tell him anything.

00:24:34.000 Don't give him policies.

00:24:35.000 Don't give him a candidate.

00:24:36.000 Just bring the ballots to the college room dorm and have him sign it, and then mail it, and then we win.

00:24:41.000 That's how you take power.

00:24:42.000 Yeah, and they use the fear, fear of Trump, to get, to garner support.

00:24:46.000 Fear and, oh God.

00:24:48.000 I mean, it's all, the Trump is Hitler stuff is all about background noise.

00:24:52.000 So that when they go to a college dorm and knock on the door and say, hey, you guys voting for Kamala?

00:24:56.000 Joy!

00:24:57.000 Joy and hope.

00:24:58.000 And they're gonna go, okay, and they're gonna fill out the mail-in ballot, they're gonna hand it to the ballot harvester, and that's the end of it.

00:25:02.000 I saw Harry Sisson, who I don't know him very well, but him and his buddy posted a Twitter thing about, we're voting for change.

00:25:10.000 And I was like, oh my god, it's 2008 all over again.

00:25:13.000 What is changing?

00:25:14.000 What are you talking about?

00:25:14.000 Change into what?

00:25:15.000 Change from what?

00:25:17.000 What's gonna happen?

00:25:18.000 Change isn't always good.

00:25:18.000 That's the amazing thing about having Biden speak first, which is if he doesn't speak, a lot of speeches yesterday were like, hope and things are different.

00:25:25.000 We're going to move forward.

00:25:27.000 And then Biden got up and amongst a lot of stuff was like, tying Kamala Harris very much to his political legacy.

00:25:34.000 This is why he was the first night.

00:25:36.000 They're trying to pretend like they're not the incumbent party so they can say things are going to get better.

00:25:40.000 And we don't know why they're bad right now.

00:25:42.000 Probably that mean Donald Trump when actually they have been in control of the presidency for four years and Democratic policies have not done well for American families.

00:25:51.000 You can ask them, you know, anytime anyone has to pay a grocery bill, I'm sure they are not thinking, thanks, Democrats.

00:25:56.000 Here's my campaign idea.

00:25:58.000 It's to make, you know the Obama poster of hope?

00:26:01.000 Make the same thing of Kamala Harris, but have it say, change back.

00:26:05.000 Because that's what they're actually after.

00:26:06.000 When they say change, it's change back.

00:26:08.000 They want to go back to when Barack Obama was blowing up kids in foreign countries, was destabilizing the Middle East, Hillary Clinton was saying, we came, we saw, he died, ha ha ha, can't we just drone him?

00:26:18.000 That's what they want to change.

00:26:19.000 They want to change it back.

00:26:20.000 I think their goal of how to solve inflation is conquest, and that's been the goal for the last 15 years.

00:26:27.000 We could retrofit our economy by fixing our fuel supply system and start using hydrogen fuel, like through the methane chain.

00:26:35.000 Now hold on, which candidate is that?

00:26:37.000 None of them, I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet.

00:26:39.000 Actually, unleash American energy in all its forms is Donald Trump's first campaign proposal.

00:26:42.000 I heard Elon had Don Trump on his Twitter space, which was fascinating.

00:26:45.000 I'm sure you guys covered that, I think you were actually listening to it.

00:26:48.000 Don Trump, I like D-bones.

00:26:50.000 And they didn't bring up hydrogen or graphene, so that's my role in this whole process, is I've got to re-enliven or inspire them to start talking about hydrogen and graphene, because that's one way to fix the economy without having to conquest.

00:27:02.000 And that's the first proposal from Trump's Agenda 47, which is unleash American energy, which includes nuclear power.

00:27:08.000 And so, hey, that actually makes sense.

00:27:11.000 That's an argument.

00:27:12.000 We've got economic issues.

00:27:14.000 How can we fix this?

00:27:15.000 Lower the cost of energy, increase the supply of energy, and the costs stabilize.

00:27:19.000 They don't necessarily always come down in a dramatic fashion, but it should lower costs typically.

00:27:23.000 It should allow people to make more money and should help alleviate some of the problems.

00:27:26.000 The problem is limiting growth.

00:27:29.000 I think this is the whole world economic forum.

00:27:31.000 They say reduce population.

00:27:32.000 They're just trying to limit growth because if humans grow too fast, they'll consume themselves or somebody will get too much power too quickly and start another war.

00:27:40.000 Some corporation will become... So they want to limit growth.

00:27:43.000 And the problem is if you unleash energy, completely unleash it, then there's no limitation on growth anymore and people might outgrow themselves.

00:27:51.000 That's the concern with fully unleashing the energy supply.

00:27:54.000 I'm open to... Unleash probably isn't the right word, because if you let a dog off the leash, there's no more control of the dog.

00:28:02.000 You gotta hope that it's trained, and humans aren't trained.

00:28:04.000 So... Oh, you're playing semantics now.

00:28:05.000 Well, yeah, but it's... He's saying, let's invest in energy.

00:28:08.000 That's good, but there is this growth limitation thing that we gotta take into account.

00:28:12.000 And I kinda see, that's my utilitarian understanding.

00:28:15.000 Elon Musk solves that problem.

00:28:16.000 You see that field of starships that he has?

00:28:18.000 No.

00:28:19.000 You didn't see the video where they're like showing, he's got all, he's got like three or four starships built and ready for testing because they go up and they blow up and they gotta make them.

00:28:28.000 Yeah, it's called human expansion as we've always done.

00:28:31.000 And then the left is the party of, what's that book about the gorilla?

00:28:36.000 Psychic Gorilla?

00:28:36.000 Ishmael.

00:28:37.000 Ishmael.

00:28:37.000 We should get in here.

00:28:38.000 They're the party of degrowth. 0.61

00:28:41.000 They want people to go back to living in the streams, in the rivers, in the caves.

00:28:46.000 They want you to live in the pod and eat the bugs.

00:28:48.000 Elon Musk is a reason why he's talking to Donald Trump.

00:28:51.000 Donald Trump wants to unleash energy, wants human expansion.

00:28:54.000 Human expansion is fantastic so long as it's technologically moving forward.

00:28:58.000 So Elon Musk is like, hey, everything I want to do, the expansion of population, Elon Musk gets it.

00:29:04.000 We need more people.

00:29:06.000 Fact.

00:29:07.000 The reason why, and I was thinking about this, it's really funny, I was watching The Prestige, you ever see that movie?

00:29:14.000 No, I haven't.

00:29:14.000 With Edward, no, no, no, it's Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, and they're talking about, they're magicians, they're doing stage shows, and it starts, Christian Bale's very poor, and he's doing this poor show, but then he comes up with a really great trick, and now he's making money, and then he buys a house.

00:29:28.000 It's fascinating.

00:29:29.000 The shows back then, they've got 200 people in the audience, But if you did a show to 200 people, you know, four or five nights a week, you could, you were rich, you were buying a house and supporting a family.

00:29:42.000 Doing magic?

00:29:43.000 Go back a thousand years and try and do magic for your tribe of a hundred people.

00:29:47.000 They're going to be like, we need food.

00:29:49.000 Stop doing the weird thing with your hands.

00:29:50.000 Go get food.

00:29:51.000 Unless you're making it rain.

00:29:52.000 What is it?

00:29:54.000 Many hands make light work.

00:29:56.000 And so the more people you have, the more specialties exist, the more technological expansion there can be.

00:30:01.000 Elon gets the basic fundamentals of this.

00:30:03.000 That's why Elon and Trump have found, you know, strange bedfellows or whatever it may be.

00:30:08.000 Elon wants to build spaceships and go to Mars and colonize and travel and human expansion.

00:30:13.000 You need energy for that.

00:30:14.000 You need technology for that.

00:30:16.000 The party of live in the pot and eat the bugs are not going to bring you there.

00:30:18.000 They're going to reduce population.

00:30:21.000 They have a vasectomy truck at the DNC.

00:30:23.000 This is not the path for human expansion, it's the path for human destruction.

00:30:28.000 Yeah, it's like an age of trust, where we've got to trust that we can take the giant leap forward.

00:30:33.000 Isn't that a Maoist revolutionary thing, the great leap forward? But we need some sort of

00:30:37.000 evolution where we just breach the gap into maybe unlimited electricity. Unlimited, literally.

00:30:46.000 It is interesting because Elon Musk is so drawn to innovation and Trump has really innovated the Republican Party.

00:30:51.000 I mean, I was listening to an interview with one of the DNC leadership members today and she was saying, she was asked directly.

00:30:58.000 Are we going to hear more about Kamala Harris's campaign policies because she doesn't have any listed and, you know, or is the is the convention going to kind of set them?

00:31:05.000 And she said, oh, you know, well, she represents the party and the party represents her.

00:31:09.000 And it's this vague dodge answer.

00:31:11.000 There is more cohesion around the way the DNC, in my opinion, and you would maybe have a better insight than I would, Brandon, but the way it has always been, whereas Elon Musk, Donald Trump and the Republicans are really going through an evolutionary expansion process, like they are changing As the world is changing, and I don't think that's true for Democrats right now.

00:31:31.000 Yeah, I mean, I personally have issues with the Republican Party not keeping up with the times.

00:31:38.000 I definitely agree.

00:31:39.000 I think that Trump is bringing us more in that direction, but I actually wanted to address something you were saying earlier when you were talking about the issues that are driving people, I think, away from Kamala.

00:31:51.000 I've been staying in New York for a couple of weeks, and I actually have had a couple

00:31:53.000 experiences there that I thought were really eye-opening and a little bit reassuring.

00:31:59.000 I'm staying in a hotel.

00:32:00.000 There's three people who work at the hotel who all happen to be Hispanic people working

00:32:04.000 behind the front desk.

00:32:05.000 I've been wearing my Trump shirts every day in New York just to kind of gauge what the

00:32:08.000 people on the street are feeling and getting a lot of really positive reaction to them.

00:32:13.000 But when I was at the hotel, one of the shirts I have is a picture of Trump, and he's putting

00:32:18.000 up two middle fingers that says one for Biden, one for Harris.

00:32:20.000 So one of the girls behind the desk says to me, your shirt is really funny.

00:32:23.000 And I was like, oh, you like it?

00:32:26.000 And she was like, yeah.

00:32:27.000 And I said, are you into politics?

00:32:28.000 And she's like, yeah, a little bit.

00:32:29.000 And I said, were you ever a Democrat?

00:32:30.000 And she was like, oh, yeah, I was a Democrat my whole life.

00:32:33.000 And I said, are you planning to vote for Trump?

00:32:36.000 And she was like, well, yeah, I actually think I am.

00:32:38.000 Now this, again, three young, like, Hispanic people. 1.00

00:32:41.000 And I just said, that's reassuring, you know, because I think, you know, I'm a little bit concerned right now about where we are.

00:32:47.000 And she said to me, she's like, oh, no, no, no, Kamala's not going to win. 1.00

00:32:50.000 Kamala's not going to win. 1.00

00:32:51.000 She said, nobody in New York is going to vote for Kamala.

00:32:53.000 Everyone in New York is leaving the Democratic Party.

00:32:55.000 People are totally sick of what's going on right now.

00:32:58.000 So I don't know.

00:32:59.000 I walk around and people are loving my Trump shirts.

00:33:01.000 And I think that there's more of us than people think.

00:33:04.000 Secret Trump voters!

00:33:05.000 But let's jump to the story from Watcher Guru.

00:33:08.000 Kamala Harris supports President Biden's 44.6% capital gains tax proposal.

00:33:14.000 This from a couple days ago.

00:33:16.000 They say that Vice President Kamala Harris has declared her support for Biden's 44.6% capital gains.

00:33:20.000 The proposal would be the highest in history.

00:33:23.000 It also includes a 25% tax on unrealized gains for high net worth individuals, more than $100 million in wealth.

00:33:31.000 Harris's campaign shared support for the tax proposal as the 2024 DNC is underway.

00:33:36.000 Harris spoke Monday at the event in Chicago along with President Biden.

00:33:39.000 The Democratic nominee has also proposed tax cuts beyond Biden's budget.

00:33:43.000 These include an exemption for tipped workers, a $6,000 tax credit for parents of newborns, and an expanded child tax credit that the Biden budget doesn't extend beyond 2025.

00:33:53.000 Now, I can't speak for every company, but I want to make a few points here.

00:33:54.000 Her campaign said Monday the current corporate tax rate is 21.

00:33:58.000 It's down from 35% after Donald Trump signed the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will

00:34:03.000 expire after 2025.

00:34:05.000 Now I can't speak for every company, but I'll make a few points here.

00:34:09.000 For us, if the corporate tax rate goes up, look, we reinvest everything, right?

00:34:17.000 So when money comes in, we figure out ways to spend it on the company, hiring people, creating jobs.

00:34:22.000 Everything we do results in more people having a job.

00:34:28.000 So if we're going to, say, build a new studio, like we did, we're hiring the contractors that we work with.

00:34:33.000 They get paid.

00:34:34.000 They feed their families.

00:34:35.000 It works out.

00:34:36.000 That's the economy works.

00:34:38.000 I don't really care that much about corporate tax rate stuff, because as long as companies are reinvesting anyway, all it means is you're shaving off a thin amount of their margins, but that could put them at risk, and it will result in increased prices then, because of an obligation to the shareholders at larger corporations.

00:34:53.000 So for us, hmm.

00:34:54.000 But I want to talk about this.

00:34:54.000 This is the big news that's actually going viral.

00:34:58.000 The unrealized gains tax, the wealth tax, they call it.

00:35:01.000 They're saying right now it's for those with more than $100 million in wealth, which is very, very few people, but this is how it begins.

00:35:07.000 Income tax, as many people know, began as a small tax on the ultra-wealthy, and it expanded all the way up until where we're at right now.

00:35:16.000 Here's the easy way to understand it.

00:35:18.000 If 100 years ago they were like, anybody making more than $250,000, you know, we're going to put a tax on that.

00:35:24.000 You're rich!

00:35:25.000 You make $250,000 a year.

00:35:28.000 I mean, and we're talking 100 years ago.

00:35:29.000 That ain't nothing.

00:35:30.000 That's massive.

00:35:32.000 I think that's the equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars per year or some ridiculous number or so.

00:35:35.000 Or, not hundreds of millions, but probably tens of millions.

00:35:39.000 What happens 100 years later?

00:35:40.000 That upper limit for the tax bracket, still there, doesn't change.

00:35:44.000 So I'll put it this way.

00:35:45.000 I don't believe the number will stay at 100 million.

00:35:48.000 It will be reduced.

00:35:49.000 It will go down to 50 or 25.

00:35:51.000 It's never going to make enough money.

00:35:52.000 But I tell you this.

00:35:54.000 Imagine this scenario.

00:35:55.000 This is why wealth taxes don't work.

00:35:59.000 You buy a house.

00:36:01.000 The house costs $5 million.

00:36:03.000 We're talking 30 years from now.

00:36:05.000 $5 million.

00:36:07.000 And with the way they spend money, and inflation is exponential, so you live in this house for 10 years on a 30-year mortgage.

00:36:14.000 Now it's $50 million.

00:36:17.000 We're talking hyperinflation.

00:36:18.000 Maybe I shouldn't go that crazy.

00:36:19.000 Let's just talk about general wealth tax.

00:36:20.000 Let's say you buy a $5,000,000 house 10 years from now or 20 years from now, because inflation is that bad, and then it goes up to $6,000,000.

00:36:27.000 And you're like, I don't know, man.

00:36:28.000 I just bought a house.

00:36:29.000 I got a mortgage.

00:36:30.000 It's a 30-year mortgage.

00:36:30.000 I got to pay my bills.

00:36:31.000 I'm paying some ridiculous thousands of dollars every month.

00:36:35.000 It is really difficult for me.

00:36:37.000 Then the government comes to you and says, you just made a million dollars.

00:36:40.000 No, I didn't.

00:36:41.000 I just bought a house.

00:36:43.000 I live in the house.

00:36:44.000 I'm like, yeah, but It's worth a million dollars more.

00:36:46.000 That's a 20% increase.

00:36:48.000 You got to pay us 25% of the... So we're going to need that $250,000 from you in taxes.

00:36:55.000 And you go, I don't have that.

00:36:57.000 I have a loan on a house.

00:36:59.000 I have the liabilities.

00:37:01.000 I didn't make any money.

00:37:01.000 And they go, well, you did.

00:37:03.000 And so what do you do?

00:37:04.000 You can't sell your house.

00:37:05.000 You know why?

00:37:06.000 Your house went up in value.

00:37:07.000 So did every single other house.

00:37:09.000 Maybe, let me do this.

00:37:10.000 Let me just say, let's say in today's numbers, $500,000 for a house.

00:37:14.000 You buy it, a couple years go by, the way they're spending money, and now it's $600,000.

00:37:19.000 You owe $25,000 on the unrealized gain.

00:37:23.000 You can't sell your house, because every other house on the street went up the same price.

00:37:28.000 So if you sold, you owe the government money on the return, and you can't buy a comparable house, because they're all the same $600,000.

00:37:33.000 So it's not possible.

00:37:36.000 If the value of a commodity goes up because of inflation, that's considered a gain?

00:37:39.000 Yes.

00:37:40.000 That's insane.

00:37:41.000 So they can inflate the entire economy by 10% and then tax everyone on that 10%?

00:37:45.000 Yep.

00:37:45.000 Intentionally do it.

00:37:47.000 If they get away with this and they say it's only for $100 million and then this country experiences extreme hyperinflation, you could accidentally find yourself in a very high bracket.

00:37:57.000 Now don't get me wrong, the amount of inflation you'd need to reach $100 million net worth is psychotic.

00:38:03.000 If every average American was worth $100 million, their money's worth nothing.

00:38:07.000 So I'm not saying we get there.

00:38:08.000 I'm saying 10 years from now, they say we're going to make it $75.

00:38:12.000 And no one bats an eye.

00:38:13.000 Then they're going to say it's $50.

00:38:16.000 Then $30.

00:38:16.000 Then $20.

00:38:17.000 Then $10.

00:38:18.000 And at that point, inflation is starting to meet that cap.

00:38:21.000 And now you're getting more and more people roped into this.

00:38:24.000 All that matters is we cannot ever allow Or support unrealized gains taxes because it's fundamentally flawed.

00:38:31.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:38:32.000 For people who own a house, think about what a house was worth in the 60s.

00:38:37.000 What were they?

00:38:38.000 A few thousand dollars?

00:38:39.000 Right.

00:38:40.000 And now we're talking three generations later, that house is $300,000.

00:38:45.000 So, I mean, seriously, what was it like?

00:38:46.000 You have these ads from back in the 40s, 50s.

00:38:48.000 Now those houses are $600,000.

00:38:48.000 It's like, buy a house for $10,000 today.

00:38:53.000 Think about where you end up and how much a house is going to cost in 20 or 30 years.

00:38:56.000 It really could be.

00:38:58.000 A $500,000 house becomes a $2,000,000 house in 20 years.

00:39:01.000 And then you're going to have people who are business owners, and we're talking medium-level businesses at this point, and it's over $100,000,000.

00:39:08.000 And they're going to start taxing.

00:39:10.000 It's putting a cap.

00:39:12.000 This is a path over the long period of time towards a communist system that stops people from reaching a certain level of wealth and power.

00:39:18.000 Has there ever been an unrealized gains tax in the U.S.

00:39:21.000 before?

00:39:22.000 I'm not I'm not aware of one there may have been a long time ago.

00:39:24.000 I don't think so.

00:39:26.000 Okay, I'm trying to my parents bought their house in 1980 for $40,000.

00:39:29.000 I'm gonna try and figure out what it's worth today.

00:39:31.000 Are you serious?

00:39:33.000 40,000 1980 40,000.

00:39:34.000 How many square feet is it?

00:39:34.000 Wow.

00:39:37.000 I don't know.

00:39:39.000 So this would be an annual tax that you have to pay on money that you don't really have?

00:39:42.000 Yes.

00:39:45.000 It's crazy because people have been forced to sell commodities just to pay the tax on the commodity itself.

00:39:45.000 Yeah.

00:39:50.000 That's what they're saying.

00:39:51.000 That's insane.

00:39:51.000 But understand, think about houses people don't get.

00:39:54.000 If your house goes up in value, that means every other house went up in value.

00:39:59.000 If you sold your house, you're going to lose money on fees.

00:40:03.000 And if you want to buy another house, you've got to pay fees, which means this would cause extreme hyperinflation.

00:40:10.000 The market would go insane.

00:40:12.000 I have to imagine it might, it just might become Oligarchy!

00:40:17.000 Only the wealthy corporations with Federal Reserve funding are going to be able to buy properties.

00:40:22.000 They say you owe $25,000 in your house, otherwise we're seizing it.

00:40:25.000 So you sell your house, then you go, okay, well now we've got $575,000, but every comparable house is $600,000, plus the fees for the real estate agent and the lawyers.

00:40:35.000 So we can only really afford a $500,000 house, which is smaller than the house we were just in, so you buy that one.

00:40:39.000 A year later, now that house is $600,000.

00:40:41.000 And you go, rinse and repeat, your house is getting smaller and smaller and smaller every step of the way.

00:40:45.000 And BlackRock's buying up houses, and they're getting the printed money from the Federal Reserve first.

00:40:48.000 And then charging rent to people.

00:40:50.000 My parents' house, by the way, was $40,000 in 1980.

00:40:52.000 It's $200,000 now.

00:40:54.000 So that's a five times increase in 40 years.

00:40:57.000 But your house, I mean, your home... It happens exponentially, it goes up.

00:41:00.000 Your home would never really appreciate in that scenario then, right?

00:41:03.000 I mean, because you're always owing money.

00:41:04.000 Yep.

00:41:06.000 I mean, you're just losing money.

00:41:08.000 Yes.

00:41:08.000 Yeah.

00:41:09.000 Wealth tax makes literally no sense.

00:41:11.000 By the time you get old and sell your home, you've spent so much money on these that you've appreciated nothing.

00:41:16.000 But Tim, we want to tax the wealthy.

00:41:18.000 They have unfair advantages.

00:41:19.000 And so the issue is, they won't generate money from this.

00:41:23.000 Let's cut the middle class out of the question and just say, right now they're saying 100 people worth $100 million or more.

00:41:28.000 Very few people have that net worth.

00:41:30.000 All they're really saying is, we are putting a cap on wealth.

00:41:34.000 That's all it is.

00:41:36.000 If you have more than a hundred million, we are taking it all from you, and you can only have a hundred million, is what they're saying.

00:41:41.000 That's it.

00:41:42.000 And then people will, like, move their home base to Europe, or to the Bahamas, or wherever the hell, like, I don't know, where was that?

00:41:49.000 As they do.

00:41:51.000 South America, Central America somewhere, where the Russians were holding, yeah, was it Panama, where they're holding all that money?

00:41:55.000 A lot of people were holding money.

00:41:57.000 The Panama Papers went viral, people were hiding assets offshore.

00:42:00.000 Panama.

00:42:01.000 Yeah, that's how they do it.

00:42:02.000 All that means is it would decenter the United States.

00:42:05.000 That's the problem with them raising the corporate tax, too, is corporations will up and leave.

00:42:10.000 Trump lowering the corporate tax got a bunch of corporations to come back.

00:42:13.000 I don't know the exact numbers, but it got corporations to reinstate their headquarters in the United States.

00:42:18.000 So the issue with corporate tax, this is the craziest thing.

00:42:23.000 If you've got a business, and in one month, let's say you're a restaurant, you do $100,000 in sales.

00:42:31.000 You then have to pay all your staff and all your costs, and let's say it's, I don't know, $80,000.

00:42:36.000 You get paid a salary because you're the manager or whatever, and you might be making, you know, $200,000 a year or whatever, so the rest goes to you, and you have almost no profit.

00:42:47.000 So that little bit of profit goes in the bank and you're like, we need to build up a rainy day fund in the event that sales dip for one month, we can cover our fixed costs.

00:42:56.000 So let's say you get to the point where you've got a restaurant and you're operating at a 2% to 3% margin.

00:43:01.000 So you're getting a couple grand per month that you're putting away.

00:43:03.000 And you're like, we need to build up our coffers for rainy day so that when there's a downturn or recession, we can keep paying our employees.

00:43:10.000 We don't got a business.

00:43:11.000 We can cover our plumbing, our heat.

00:43:13.000 January comes around, December 31st, and the IRS says, how much did you make?

00:43:17.000 And you go, well, I mean, we've got about $30,000 left over.

00:43:20.000 It's profit, but we need that in case of emergencies.

00:43:23.000 And the government says, we don't care.

00:43:24.000 Give it to us.

00:43:25.000 And they take a quarter of it.

00:43:27.000 This is the craziest thing, running a business.

00:43:30.000 Every year when you're like, our margins are not that good, we need this money in case of emergency, and the government takes it from you.

00:43:36.000 And I'm like, that's nuts!

00:43:38.000 What happens if we lose a sponsor?

00:43:40.000 What happens if we get suspended for a week or something and we don't have any money anymore?

00:43:45.000 The IRS is taxing money and we need that money to operate.

00:43:49.000 It's insane how corporate taxes work.

00:43:51.000 Just January, there you go.

00:43:53.000 And actually, for a lot of businesses, you pay quarterly.

00:43:55.000 And then, you know, come April, it's like, here's the full bill.

00:43:59.000 So already, the system is insane and very difficult to navigate.

00:44:03.000 Let alone doing this.

00:44:04.000 Serge, before the show mentioned digital serfdom, or modern day serfdom, to think that people will be shoved into a permanent state of rental class, and middle class businesses will be shut down so that giant oligarchical corporations can control the organization and the structure.

00:44:21.000 I don't know if that's what they intentionally want, or if these people are just ignorantly guiding people towards passive inflation.

00:44:28.000 We got a super chat from Gary Hardy that actually exemplifies the problem very well.

00:44:32.000 He says, our taxes do go up every year based on inflation.

00:44:35.000 It's called property tax.

00:44:36.000 It's a tax on unrealized gains.

00:44:39.000 100% correct.

00:44:41.000 It's basically already how it functions.

00:44:43.000 And this is why.

00:44:44.000 And this system already exists.

00:44:46.000 So take a look at rural land.

00:44:50.000 Watch the show Yellowstone.

00:44:52.000 Have you guys ever watched Yellowstone?

00:44:53.000 They make a point of this.

00:44:55.000 Very much so.

00:44:56.000 So they own, what is it, like 7,000 acres?

00:44:58.000 Is that what it is?

00:44:59.000 Some huge amount.

00:45:00.000 I think it's more than 700,000.

00:45:00.000 700,000.

00:45:01.000 I think it's like 700,000 of land or something.

00:45:05.000 And they got to pay taxes on it.

00:45:07.000 And they're like, if the ranch doesn't make enough money to cover the cost of taxes, then they're going to take the land from us.

00:45:13.000 So they discuss parceling land to sell to cover the taxes.

00:45:17.000 Extremely common.

00:45:18.000 It's how people lose the land that their parents owned.

00:45:23.000 So if you look at rural properties you'll notice like there will be an area of some rural area and it'll be like a 50 acre property and then you'll notice it's oddly shaped and there's a row of developments along one side and then you look at the property history and what happens is 300 years ago, some guy walks a piece of land, puts a fence around it, nobody lives there, and he's like, I'm gonna farm here.

00:45:45.000 And he does.

00:45:46.000 Nobody bats an eye.

00:45:47.000 100 years go by, and they show up, and they say, is this your land?

00:45:50.000 Well, if you're taking this much land from the community and from the town, you gotta pay taxes on it and say, sure.

00:45:54.000 100 years goes by, and what happens is, if your farm generates, let's say, you know, I don't know, $10,000 a month or whatever, feeds your family, and you get a little bit extra for knickknacks or whatever, Then the government comes and says, well, the property's massive and we could put factories on it.

00:46:10.000 It's got to be worth at least a million dollars.

00:46:12.000 So you owe us 30 grand.

00:46:14.000 And you go, I don't, I don't make enough to pay that.

00:46:15.000 And they go find it or seizing the whole property.

00:46:18.000 So they take an acre of their farm and they sell it to a developer who then puts a house on it.

00:46:23.000 Then they use that money to pay the taxes.

00:46:25.000 Next year, same thing.

00:46:26.000 Sell an acre, pay the taxes.

00:46:28.000 Over a long enough period of time, the property completely disappears and the family has lost everything.

00:46:33.000 The Dutton Ranch is 776,000 acres, and there's a line in the show where John Dutton says that he owns a ranch the size of Rhode Island.

00:46:43.000 Yep.

00:46:44.000 And a point of the show is when they say you gotta pay taxes on it, and this is how the people want to steal his land, they're like, this is the attack vector.

00:46:52.000 He won't be able to pay the taxes on it.

00:46:53.000 They'll have to start parceling land and it will destroy the ranch. 0.99

00:46:56.000 This is what happens now.

00:46:58.000 This unrealized gains tax is a layer on top of that already, and Gary points out perfectly, this literally already happens.

00:47:05.000 You buy a house.

00:47:08.000 Let's say you work at a job and you get paid $70,000 a year and you got a $300,000 house.

00:47:11.000 Then one day they come and they say, your house is worth $400,000 now, so we're increasing your property tax by 25%.

00:47:15.000 You go, I don't make that much money!

00:47:20.000 Like, I didn't get a 25% raise, how am I gonna pay an increase in my taxes like this?

00:47:24.000 So you go to your boss, I gotta make more money or else.

00:47:27.000 You will own nothing and you will eat the bugs, that's what they're doing.

00:47:29.000 If they're gonna do an unrealized gains tax, you've gotta account for inflation.

00:47:33.000 And you've gotta reduce the value of the inflation from the costs.

00:47:38.000 But you're acting like they're playing fair.

00:47:40.000 I know, that would be like the righteous thing to do, but if it's actually a government ploy to take land from the citizenry and

00:47:46.000 Redistribute it or say hey, we have 10% more people this year because of population expansion

00:47:52.000 We can't let you have 700 acres anymore split some off for these new people. I mean I get the concept 1.00

00:47:57.000 Utilitarian Lee, but it's it's pretty dirty. The funny thing is

00:48:01.000 People don't know what bourgeois means or bougie bourgeoisie Do you guys know what it means?

00:48:06.000 It's like wealthy, it was a French thing?

00:48:08.000 No, it doesn't mean wealthy.

00:48:09.000 No, which is middle class?

00:48:10.000 Yep, it means middle class.

00:48:12.000 So when the communists talk about the bourgeois, they're not talking about the wealthy people, they're talking about middle class Americans.

00:48:20.000 People working managerial jobs and trying to have a family.

00:48:24.000 That's what they're talking about.

00:48:25.000 They want to take that from you.

00:48:26.000 You're the bad guy. 0.56

00:48:27.000 You're the problem.

00:48:28.000 Cernovich tweets, Communists do not hate the wealthy.

00:48:30.000 As long as they decide who is at the top, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, Mark Cuban, they can do whatever they like as long as they play ball and share any lie from the regime.

00:48:38.000 If you own a home, you are the rich that Communists will destroy.

00:48:42.000 And that's why in China, you can't own property.

00:48:44.000 You can lease it.

00:48:46.000 And it's got to be, it's turned over after 99 years.

00:48:48.000 I think it's 99 years.

00:48:49.000 I think this is sort of the lie of the Harris-Waltz campaign.

00:48:52.000 And as we can see, the Harris-Waltz campaign is effectively still the Biden-Harris campaign in a lot of ways.

00:48:58.000 They're going to say over and over again, well, we're for the working class, we're for the working class.

00:49:02.000 And Trump, he doesn't understand and we're for you.

00:49:04.000 But if they were ever asked specific questions about the policies that they back up, you would see that that's not the case.

00:49:11.000 I mean, it's not enough to just pick the You know, white guy from the Midwest and say, oh, we're for average Americans.

00:49:18.000 You have to actually have that in policy.

00:49:21.000 And I think the economy is one of these buzzword issues for this campaign in particular, where they're like, well, we don't want the wealthy to win and we, you know, whatever.

00:49:30.000 They'll throw things around, but there's no explanation of what they're planning.

00:49:33.000 And I think that is largely because ultimately they are going to increase taxes in a way that will hurt the working class that they don't want to admit to.

00:49:42.000 Let's jump to these tweets, talk a little bit about the DNC.

00:49:45.000 So we have these tweets.

00:49:47.000 I don't know who this person is.

00:49:49.000 Beth Davidson.

00:49:49.000 Seemingly nobody, but she must be at the convention.

00:49:52.000 She says, Fam, Matt Walsh is at the Democrat convention posing as a delegate.

00:49:56.000 Do not talk to him.

00:49:57.000 Call him out.

00:49:58.000 Tell security if you can.

00:50:00.000 Please reshare to spread the word.

00:50:03.000 He's got credentials.

00:50:04.000 Hashtag hate monger.

00:50:05.000 He got in.

00:50:06.000 Keith Olbermann says, we knew it was Matt Walsh because he covered up his five head.

00:50:11.000 This dude says, yo, that's Matt Walsh in disguise on the convention floor.

00:50:15.000 He's got a pass.

00:50:18.000 What do they think is going to happen if there's a Republican in their midst?

00:50:21.000 Charlie Kirk is walking around.

00:50:22.000 He's chilling, panicking.

00:50:24.000 Listening to people, having a decent conversation.

00:50:27.000 Here's the crazy thing about this.

00:50:29.000 Charlie Kirk is there.

00:50:30.000 He's talking to people.

00:50:30.000 A lot of people are yelling at him, which is nuts.

00:50:33.000 But how come this didn't happen at the RNC?

00:50:35.000 Right.

00:50:36.000 Not only do we have the riots outside, and it's low-tier stuff, but they did tear down the barricades and breach the perimeter, so I'm calling that a riot.

00:50:43.000 And protests and clashes, 13 arrests.

00:50:46.000 At the RNC, you had none of this.

00:50:48.000 You had a light protest.

00:50:49.000 Nothing really happened.

00:50:50.000 There may have been arrests.

00:50:51.000 Nothing was really eventful, and no one really cared about it.

00:50:51.000 I don't know.

00:50:53.000 I walked past it and nothing seemed, nobody said anything to me.

00:50:57.000 At the RNC there were no, I didn't see any crazy Democrats running around. 0.99

00:51:01.000 Nobody was screaming at anybody.

00:51:03.000 Cenk Uygur in 2016, Jimmy Dore spat on Alex Jones.

00:51:09.000 There was that kind of stuff.

00:51:10.000 I didn't see anything in the RNC.

00:51:12.000 Liberals didn't show up to question Republicans.

00:51:14.000 Nothing that I saw.

00:51:15.000 I think it's because this sect of people that are supporting the Democratic Party feel as though they've been fortified, that their system is fortified and ready to win.

00:51:24.000 They're not in to try and mess with the other.

00:51:28.000 They don't feel like they need to.

00:51:30.000 They feel like they've got it in the bag, maybe.

00:51:33.000 I think it's that they don't want to hear what's going on at the RNC.

00:51:35.000 They want to hear it through the lens of the media, and they don't want to be in the presence of hate or whatever.

00:51:41.000 Whereas, you know, conservatives actually find it—they've seen a lot of success by going inside, you know, events that are not typically open to them.

00:51:49.000 I'm thinking of, you know, the family-friendly, quote-unquote, drag performances, and you'll get these on-the-ground reportings where it's like, is this what you're describing as family-friendly?

00:51:59.000 Yeah, I think it's—this is why I don't call it the left and the right at all.

00:52:03.000 I don't feel like it's even.

00:52:05.000 I feel like I'm interested in knowing what is really happening, so I want to investigate the empire and the imperial strategy.

00:52:10.000 And that leads me towards investigating the Democratic Party and what the hell's going on with this American arm of the Western empire.

00:52:18.000 There's a video.

00:52:19.000 You can see Matt Walsh right here with his little red hat walking around.

00:52:23.000 He posts some of the most Uh, what would you call it?

00:52:26.000 Scathing stuff on Twitter, where I'm like... There he is!

00:52:28.000 Where I'm like, I don't... Like, he'll post stuff on Twitter and I'm like, I don't, Matt, I don't want to read it, I don't want to look at it, but he constantly makes me love the man.

00:52:35.000 Wait, wait, is the camera panning to try and get Matt Walsh again?

00:52:37.000 No, I think they're trying to get him out of the shot.

00:52:39.000 He gets the blame for a lot of things he does do.

00:52:41.000 He's lost his bearings, as we can see.

00:52:44.000 He's so subtle.

00:52:44.000 It's funny because he's there officially, I bet.

00:52:47.000 Daily Wire applied for credentials, they said yes, same as Charlie Kirk.

00:52:47.000 I bet.

00:52:52.000 He showed up, dressed like that, and now they're all losing their minds.

00:52:55.000 And, you know, you have to hand it to Matt Walsh.

00:52:57.000 This is obviously promotional for his new movie.

00:52:59.000 This is hilarious marketing, right?

00:53:01.000 Like, he's not even there necessarily to, like, change any hearts and minds.

00:53:05.000 He's there to sort of be himself and they're freaking out about it.

00:53:08.000 Like Borat.

00:53:09.000 Well, it is because, I mean, it does look like a costume.

00:53:13.000 Like, if I saw that person, I'd be like, that person doesn't look right to me.

00:53:18.000 Well, his hat is elevated over his wig, you know?

00:53:18.000 It's the red hat.

00:53:20.000 It's not really, like, fitting correctly.

00:53:22.000 Okay, so now I definitely wish I was there after seeing this.

00:53:25.000 I'm like, okay, that would have been fun.

00:53:27.000 But I don't want to be anywhere near outside, and getting to and from seems crazy, so no DNC for us.

00:53:33.000 Probably would have been really cool now in retrospect.

00:53:35.000 Charlie Kirk's a master, man, and I think his...

00:53:39.000 History will look back on him fondly for his reaching across the aisle and his consistent olive branches that he's made to offer.

00:53:45.000 Maybe it doesn't turn out so bad, but I'm still worried about the riots.

00:53:49.000 There's, like, Democrats getting hotels and fake names.

00:53:51.000 The amount of security stuff we had to do, we would have had to have done, is just... I just didn't find it to be worth it to go to the DNC.

00:53:57.000 In Chicago, of all places, dude, you get shot in Chicago and they say, just another weekend.

00:54:01.000 What did you guys think of the RNC?

00:54:02.000 Boring.

00:54:03.000 I didn't know what it was.

00:54:04.000 Oh, I thought it was interesting.

00:54:05.000 I mean, the hard thing about doing IRL is that we're working when a lot of the speeches are going on.

00:54:10.000 But I think there was a lot of really interesting energy.

00:54:12.000 One of the critiques that or one of the analysis that I was listening to of the DNC today was they had Steve Kerr, I think is his name.

00:54:20.000 He's the coach who coached the Yeah, and he was just at the Olympics with Team USA, and they had him up and they're saying, I was listening to this New York Times analysis, and they were like, yeah, because Democrats feel like the Republicans have really taken control of red, white, and blue, and they're trying to offer their own version of patriotism.

00:54:37.000 Which means that really the RNC set the tone and in so many ways the DNC is responding to them.

00:54:44.000 I mean, you know, Trump tweeted that thing where he's like, this is how many times they mentioned my name last night.

00:54:49.000 It really is.

00:54:50.000 Everybody is, you know, Trump is really in charge of this election in a way that I don't think Harris is.

00:54:56.000 She is a response to the Trump campaign always.

00:54:59.000 She is never leading any policy here.

00:55:02.000 Let me say this really quick.

00:55:03.000 I saw this one video of Kamala where a reporter challenged her and she was like, do you want Trump to win?

00:55:08.000 She got really mad.

00:55:09.000 Yeah, I saw that.

00:55:10.000 You saw that?

00:55:10.000 That was crazy.

00:55:11.000 And it was the only time I've seen her get upset so far.

00:55:13.000 I haven't watched a lot of it, but it was very obvious that she doesn't want to be challenged.

00:55:16.000 Don't challenge the royalty right now.

00:55:18.000 We just need to shove it in.

00:55:19.000 What is that saying?

00:55:20.000 Do you want this terrible person to win? 0.59

00:55:22.000 That means you're a bad person.

00:55:23.000 That's how she's shutting people down. 1.00

00:55:25.000 That's not effective.

00:55:25.000 Sarah, you're going to say something?

00:55:26.000 No, it's okay.

00:55:27.000 I was just going to say, I kind of feel the opposite of the way that you feel in terms of them controlling the tone and whatnot.

00:55:33.000 Because if you remember, the RNC happened so shortly after Trump got shot.

00:55:37.000 In fact, I think it was the first time we saw him after he got shot.

00:55:40.000 And the Democrats now, I think in retrospect, it was tactical.

00:55:45.000 I mean, of course, nothing they do is sincere.

00:55:48.000 At the time, they were kind of playing this game, like, let's all, let's all like, you know, take the volume down a little bit.

00:55:53.000 Like, let's, let's, let's turn things down, turn down the heat.

00:55:57.000 And then Trump came out and he had, I don't really feel like we, I don't feel like we strategized well about what our message was going to be after Trump got assassinated.

00:56:07.000 I think there were a lot of opportunities there that were absolutely missed.

00:56:10.000 And he came out and he had this kind of like docile, very sort of like soft, gentle tone.

00:56:16.000 And the Democrats were keeping that too.

00:56:19.000 But then it's like, as soon as we got through that, they started pouncing again.

00:56:22.000 And now they're right back to the same rhetoric.

00:56:24.000 I mean, from the speeches that I saw that happened last night, I caught clips.

00:56:28.000 I mean, they're back to saying, you know, what a dangerous threat he is to America and that he must be neutralized.

00:56:32.000 He must be.

00:56:33.000 So, I mean, we're right back to.

00:56:35.000 And I feel like they are controlling the tone.

00:56:38.000 And I feel like we missed our opportunity.

00:56:40.000 I think that they do have a strong, they have pivoted really well.

00:56:44.000 As soon as they dropped Biden and they were like, we're rolling out this prosecutor and he's a felon, they did go back on the attack.

00:56:50.000 I actually am not sure all Americans appreciate that.

00:56:53.000 I think a lot of people are still thinking about the assassination attempt and think that there's sort of a gravity there.

00:56:59.000 But, you know, it is fascinating to me that there was a USA chant there.

00:57:03.000 And that's actually to me, like, Republicans are the patriotic party right now.

00:57:08.000 I don't think that was always true.

00:57:09.000 I think there was a time when, you know, Democrats and Republicans had a lot more in common.

00:57:13.000 But, you know, in our modern day era, it's just not the same thing.

00:57:16.000 Right.

00:57:17.000 And I think that all of this, like this whole moment in time for them is Not possible without Trump.

00:57:26.000 Whereas, and I got you mean, like, Trump did come out a little bit softer.

00:57:28.000 He seemed like he was a little more emotional, a little more reflective.

00:57:32.000 But he had said, you know, I'm not going to mention Biden during the speech.

00:57:34.000 Like, he said his name like one time and a lot of people followed suit.

00:57:38.000 I do think that If Trump weren't in this election for whatever reason, not because of the destination, because, you know, he wasn't eligible to run or something like that, I don't know what the Democrats would do without him.

00:57:48.000 I don't think that they have a strategy other than panic about Trump.

00:57:52.000 And it's interesting to see every time the Republicans offer up a policy, like the Trump Vance campaign, we still don't get anything from Harris unless it's sort of like a, I'm also not going to tax tips or I'm copying, yeah.

00:58:07.000 You say $5,000, JD Vance, for parents with young children, while I say $6,000.

00:58:10.000 It is very much following the Trump-Vance campaign.

00:58:15.000 100%.

00:58:15.000 And to your point about them chanting USA and it being kind of bizarre and disingenuous and stuff, I mean, I've actually questioned recently if this is like a giant psyop, that they're really appropriating our culture.

00:58:27.000 I don't know if you're noticing this.

00:58:28.000 I think they are!

00:58:30.000 They are!

00:58:32.000 She's doing Trump rallies.

00:58:33.000 Overnight, they're chanting USA.

00:58:34.000 They're chanting, lock him up.

00:58:36.000 No tax on tips.

00:58:37.000 Yeah, his policies.

00:58:39.000 And I'm like, are they trying to drive us insane?

00:58:42.000 Like, out of one side of the mouth?

00:58:43.000 Well, if they can see what's working.

00:58:44.000 And they're like, we're gonna do that now.

00:58:46.000 Yeah.

00:58:47.000 But either way, it's all theater.

00:58:48.000 I mean, it's completely fake.

00:58:49.000 It's smart.

00:58:50.000 They know that their cult will vote for them no matter what.

00:58:53.000 And so steal the policies of the right and try and get as many moderates as possible.

00:58:57.000 I'm sorry.

00:58:59.000 No, I agree with you.

00:59:00.000 I think that there is a posturing for moderates, but it's interesting that they're not offering anything new.

00:59:04.000 They're copying Trump.

00:59:05.000 And again, that just to me says that he lives rent-free in everybody's brains, and he will do until he can't run for president anymore.

00:59:11.000 I'm going to stress it. 0.99

00:59:12.000 They are evil people. 0.93

00:59:12.000 You want an example? 0.93

00:59:13.000 Joe Biden leading with the very fine people hoax.

00:59:17.000 After seven years, we know it's not true.

00:59:20.000 Listen to the full C-SPAN interview Trump gave, and it was comprehensive, intelligent, and measured.

00:59:25.000 Trump's response could not have been more perfect.

00:59:28.000 He said, there were bad people in the masks, there were neo-Nazis, there were bad people, and there were some people who got a permit, they wanted to protest, they were angry that the statue was coming down, and that's fine, they're allowed to do it, they have the First Amendment, but there were bad people on both sides, there were some good people on both sides.

00:59:44.000 He actually didn't just say one simple sentence, he actually said, I saw the same videos, we know what happened, bad actors are ruining this stuff, and he said, if you would report this accurately, people would know, and what did they do?

00:59:55.000 They lied.

00:59:56.000 Trump asked them to report accurately, and they lied.

00:59:59.000 And Biden, to this day, spits on the face of every single one of these voters, and they bask in it.

01:00:06.000 Can you tell me really fast what that is, that hoax?

01:00:09.000 Because I have not looked into it.

01:00:10.000 In Charlottesville.

01:00:11.000 There was a statue that was going to be pulled down by protesters.

01:00:15.000 There were counter-protesters saying, do not pull down the statue.

01:00:17.000 They were going to rename a park.

01:00:19.000 It was Robert E. Lee Park or something like this in the statue.

01:00:21.000 The far left wanted to tear it down.

01:00:23.000 There were people on the right who didn't want it.

01:00:25.000 Then you had Antifa show up, and then you had white nationalists show up.

01:00:29.000 There was a massive clash.

01:00:30.000 People started fighting.

01:00:32.000 Fighting broke out and it resulted in a guy in a car driving into a crowd of people, killing a woman.

01:00:37.000 And this is the Charlottesville moment.

01:00:40.000 Donald Trump gave a press conference right afterwards and said, you had a lot of bad people there.

01:00:44.000 There were bad people on both sides.

01:00:46.000 You had the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists.

01:00:49.000 You had the left with the wearing all black with baseball bats.

01:00:53.000 Did you see them?

01:00:54.000 And he said, but you also had some very fine people.

01:00:57.000 On both sides, on both sides.

01:00:58.000 Some who were protesting a statue coming down.

01:01:00.000 And they had a permit, by the way, and they have a First Amendment right to peacefully, the right way, protest this.

01:01:05.000 And then someone then says, asks him a question, and he says, no, I am not talking.

01:01:10.000 He says, he says, they were very fine.

01:01:12.000 Someone goes, you're saying there's very fine people?

01:01:14.000 Literally asks him, in the neo-Nazis, he goes, no, I'm saying there were people there with a permit to protest.

01:01:19.000 I am not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists.

01:01:22.000 They should be condemned totally. 0.99

01:01:23.000 Oh, man.

01:01:24.000 And then they kept running that he called the neo-Nazis very fine people.

01:01:27.000 Or the animals quote. 0.94

01:01:28.000 He called immigrants animals. 0.99

01:01:29.000 He literally was talking about drug-dealing, child-trafficking murderers. 1.00

01:01:33.000 And he says, these people killing children, they're not people, they're animals. 0.98

01:01:37.000 And they cut him going, they're not people, they're animals. 0.97

01:01:39.000 That's the only thing.

01:01:40.000 MS-13.

01:01:40.000 He was talking about MS-13.

01:01:42.000 Also, we're all animals.

01:01:43.000 Like, come on, get over it, guys.

01:01:44.000 Yeah, but you get the point. 0.94

01:01:46.000 He was saying that the cartels who traffic children are animals, who kill people and murder them.

01:01:51.000 It's really fascinating to be paying attention, to see it happening in real time, like, the manipulation.

01:01:57.000 Like, Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist, would be like, you just tell them a lie enough times and people will believe it. 0.56

01:02:02.000 Oh, dude, like, liberals would be sitting here clapping for the Democrats, being like, wow!

01:02:07.000 Look how long they've maintained this.

01:02:09.000 And here's an important thing to understand.

01:02:10.000 They say that every seven years, every cell in your body has been replaced, right?

01:02:14.000 Like the ship of Theseus, you're a new person.

01:02:16.000 Democrats live in a world now where it has been Man, nine years of lies about Donald Trump.

01:02:23.000 Every fiber of their being at this point is composed of fake information.

01:02:29.000 Their entire worldview crafted off of high-level propagandistic manipulation of the Democratic Party.

01:02:36.000 It's the only thing they know.

01:02:37.000 Assisted by the media.

01:02:39.000 Very few mainstream media outlets covered the fact that during Biden's speech there was a banner drop down that said stop funding Israel or something like that.

01:02:45.000 It's a pro-Palestine or at least anti-Israel sentiment.

01:02:49.000 And very few mainstream media outlets that I have seen talked about the fact that there's a Native Americans rights group that has allied themselves with the pro-Palestinian people saying, you know, this land, the DNC is operating on stolen land and therefore we also We protest this and we stand with people in Palestine who are having, you know, their land stolen or, you know, whatever the sentiment is.

01:03:11.000 It's fascinating to me that, like, they completely block out any discord within their own party, meaning that they don't want the average leans left, not super political voter to know.

01:03:22.000 Hey, actually, we have tons of chaos and people within your own party think we might be the ethical role.

01:03:27.000 This is the challenge right now with Trump sycophants and the unwillingness or the inability of Trump's campaign to call up the surrogates and tell them to shut the living F up when they attack moderates.

01:03:40.000 Because I just watched a clip, as I mentioned earlier, from Joe Rogan's show, where he's like, it's all tribalism.

01:03:45.000 It's my team.

01:03:46.000 It's your team.

01:03:48.000 It isn't, but Joe doesn't live in the same political world entrenched like we do.

01:03:53.000 That's why I said, I don't know, talk to Dave Smith.

01:03:54.000 I'm not a political guy.

01:03:55.000 Joe certainly knows more than most people when he calls out the weird absurdities of the media. 0.99

01:04:01.000 But when Trump sycophants attack Joe, he just immediately backs away and says, guys, you're all nuts. 0.97

01:04:06.000 The reality is Trump's imperfect. 0.99

01:04:08.000 Of course he is. 1.00

01:04:09.000 The Republicans suck. 1.00

01:04:10.000 Of course they do. 1.00

01:04:11.000 But we really are looking at a party that has been lying, cheating, and stealing for who knows how long, but it's been particularly bad in the past decade.

01:04:20.000 And we are in desperate need of some accountability and a functioning government to probably criminally charge those who have broken the law.

01:04:29.000 You can't really go after the media for lying.

01:04:31.000 You're allowed to.

01:04:31.000 It's the First Amendment.

01:04:33.000 But we need accountability.

01:04:34.000 We need good governance.

01:04:36.000 We need to fire those in the entrenched bureaucracy. 0.98

01:04:39.000 And so when Trump's sycophants attack moderates, you lose support.

01:04:45.000 And this is the most frustrating thing right now.

01:04:46.000 And the lying and the cheating was before the Democratic Party, like in 2011.

01:04:51.000 It was the Republican Party with the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, like the imperialists that wanted to conquer. 0.69

01:04:58.000 And Trump isn't that party, and they hate him.

01:05:00.000 He's an outsider.

01:05:01.000 And that's why when Trump got elected, you had the Republican Party with, what's his face, Paul Ryan.

01:05:07.000 And I think it was in the time of Boehner.

01:05:10.000 They did not like Donald Trump.

01:05:11.000 They actually worked with Democrats on the Russia gate hoax when Trump got in in 2017.

01:05:16.000 And then in 2018, we saw a little bit of a change, kind of.

01:05:20.000 Democrats, I think in 2018, Democrats came back into Congress.

01:05:24.000 So the Republicans had Congress for that first year of Trump's term.

01:05:27.000 They did nothing.

01:05:29.000 And look where we are now.

01:05:30.000 So I don't care for the Republican Party. 0.99

01:05:32.000 The Republican Party in the 2000s I thought was trash. 1.00

01:05:35.000 Barack Obama turned out to be trash. 1.00

01:05:36.000 The Democrats are trash. 1.00

01:05:37.000 And then Trump and Bernie came in. 1.00

01:05:39.000 Bernie lost.

01:05:40.000 Trump represented populism.

01:05:41.000 And people don't want war. 0.96

01:05:43.000 They don't want these garbage trade agreements. 0.99

01:05:45.000 Trump came in. 0.99

01:05:46.000 Civil war in the Republican Party.

01:05:48.000 Still sort of going on.

01:05:50.000 And I'll take it.

01:05:50.000 My point with Joe is I should be able to have a conversation with someone like Joe and have him just be like, dude, I get it, man.

01:05:58.000 You know, there's no one else to vote for. 0.84

01:06:01.000 Instead, Trump's cult, and I'm not saying everyone in support of Trump is a cult, I'm saying these diehard lunatics Push even him away! 0.98

01:06:11.000 I get it. 0.97

01:06:12.000 I totally get it.

01:06:12.000 And I think that sect of his base, that it's the constant loyalty tests and purity tests, and that if you dare to ask any questions or express anything that you might, you know, have a question about, you're dissatisfied with it.

01:06:25.000 And then suddenly everybody's turning on you.

01:06:28.000 You're not like a real Trump supporter.

01:06:29.000 This happened to me.

01:06:30.000 It's wokeness.

01:06:32.000 It's the same thing.

01:06:32.000 It's totally the same.

01:06:33.000 It's like cancel culture garbage. 0.96

01:06:35.000 what pushed me away from the Democratic Party, when I'm not allowed to ask questions and think 0.98

01:06:38.000 for myself. And the Vakes campaign, when he was still running, did a really great thing.

01:06:43.000 They started reaching out to influencers, which I wish Trump's campaign would do more of.

01:06:47.000 But they'd reach out to me and said, you want to spend the day with the Vake on the bus, 0.98

01:06:50.000 get to know him better, ask him questions, interview him. I was like, of course, of course,

01:06:53.000 I'm going to say yes. And I knew at that time I was planning to support Trump, but I wanted,

01:06:57.000 of course, I'm going to say yes to the opportunity to get to know the guy. Spent the day with the

01:07:01.000 Vake, had a great day, interviewed him on camera, put it out there. And people started getting

01:07:07.000 really angry at me because I spent the day with the Vake.

01:07:09.000 And I'm like, yeah, but I had a great time. I really... And then very shortly after that, it was

01:07:15.000 right before the Iowa caucus, the Vake did better than people expected. And Trump

01:07:20.000 basically, in typical Trump fashion, put out a comment like, the Vake's not really one of us, he's

01:07:26.000 not MAGA. I had all of these people attacking me because I had spent the day with the Vake

01:07:32.000 before Trump said that. And people unfollowing me and stuff. And then the Vake dropped out. And then two

01:07:37.000 days later, Trump was like, just kidding, the Vake's awesome. And then, but that drove me nuts.

01:07:44.000 I was like, this feels exactly like why I left the left.

01:07:47.000 It's cancel culture.

01:07:48.000 It is the pile on, fall in line, or else.

01:07:52.000 And I think it's important that Trump's most ardent base recognize they win by alliances with moderates.

01:07:59.000 And if you want to play these games where you insult the moderates, you're going to lose.

01:08:04.000 Because a lot of people vote emotionally.

01:08:06.000 That's what the Democrats have proven, and we're trying to convince as many middle-of-the-road people that, man, this is, it's life or death.

01:08:12.000 I mean, look, I gotta be honest, even if Trump wins, there's no guarantee that we're gonna actually get a functional vote count or anything like that.

01:08:18.000 Who knows what's gonna happen January 6th, 2025?

01:08:20.000 Because Kamala's gonna be counting the, she's gonna be counting the electors, and Congress, Jamie Raskin's already said they're gonna block Trump if he does win.

01:08:30.000 Biden claims he's gonna block, he's gonna try and take power even if he loses.

01:08:34.000 And so my point ultimately is this.

01:08:37.000 I shouldn't be listening to Joe Rogan, who correctly calls out Fauci, who correctly calls out the Democrat in Stalin Kamala, who then says, yeah, but they're all just my team, this team, that team, whatever, man.

01:08:49.000 It's because they attack him.

01:08:51.000 He's a regular guy.

01:08:52.000 He's not focused on politics.

01:08:53.000 He's a very, very smart guy. 0.72

01:08:54.000 As much as he likes to say, like, I'm just some dumb podcaster, the dude's a genius, but this is not his world.

01:08:59.000 His world is comedy. 0.99

01:09:00.000 So when he wakes up one day and he's getting Trump tweeting at him that they're going to boo him at UFC, he's like, these people are nuts.

01:09:05.000 And it's, he's not wrong, but Trump still has to win.

01:09:09.000 And that's the unfortunate thing.

01:09:10.000 It should be easy for me to go to someone who's like, man, I don't like Trump's people.

01:09:14.000 And I'm like, I know, but you didn't got to vote for him.

01:09:15.000 Cause like, Because you're looking at the Democrats and you know, and it should be a simple, like, I get it, I get it.

01:09:20.000 The Mises Caucus people. 0.69

01:09:23.000 Who was it?

01:09:24.000 Jeremy Kaufman?

01:09:25.000 Is that his name?

01:09:26.000 I'm getting his name right?

01:09:26.000 Yeah, Jeremy Kaufman.

01:09:27.000 He held up the sign saying MAGA equals socialism at the Libertarian Party.

01:09:31.000 He doesn't want to vote for Donald Trump.

01:09:32.000 And then once Chase Oliver gets nominated, he says, I guess I'm voting for Donald Trump, because I'm not going to vote for a race communist or whatever.

01:09:38.000 And I'm like, see?

01:09:40.000 That's reality.

01:09:41.000 It sucks, but we really are in a... No, dude, most elections, I'd have no problem being a libertarian.

01:09:46.000 I don't care, two-party, whatever. 0.96

01:09:47.000 But now it really is hyper-polarized to an extreme degree.

01:09:51.000 The Republican Party, you vote for your candidate, then there's a brutal... friends become enemies, and then afterwards enemies are still... friends are not enemies again.

01:09:59.000 Friendships were lost in that primary battle with DeSantis and Trump.

01:10:02.000 But a vote was had and a lot of dissented supporters came around and said, OK, fine, I'll vote for Trump, but I'm mad at you guys and I hate this.

01:10:09.000 And I'm like, well, that's that's how it goes.

01:10:11.000 The Democrats installed Kamala and said join her or else. 0.99

01:10:14.000 And they're cheering for a woman who has no campaign. 0.56

01:10:17.000 She has no policies, no positions, and they're cheering for it. 1.00

01:10:20.000 There's a couple.

01:10:21.000 She's supporting the tax thing from Joe Biden, and she said no taxes on tips, which is contradictory, I guess.

01:10:26.000 But there's no campaign policies on her website.

01:10:28.000 They don't know what they're cheering for.

01:10:29.000 You had Taylor Hanson at the convention asking what they're supporting.

01:10:34.000 They have no answer.

01:10:35.000 None whatsoever.

01:10:36.000 They're like, she's just a good leader, and you know, Trump's gonna take our freedoms.

01:10:40.000 They have no idea what they're supporting.

01:10:42.000 So you may not like the guy, but this is not your typical Obama versus McCain day or whatever, where McCain's like, no, my opponent's a good man.

01:10:51.000 We just disagree on a few issues.

01:10:53.000 It's literally an installed candidate and voting for a system in which they do not actually have real representation of the American people and voting for a system that does.

01:11:01.000 It's the first time in my life I've ever felt like I'm actually voting to resist imperial authoritarianism.

01:11:07.000 Like, it's more clear than ever that the liberal economic order is like a British-centric, American, five-eyes empire.

01:11:15.000 That is, they stopped calling themselves the British Empire in 1997.

01:11:17.000 They rebranded as the United Kingdom now, or whatever.

01:11:21.000 King of Kings, he is now.

01:11:23.000 Xerxes, he's like the emperor still, Charles.

01:11:27.000 It's like, we got to shake it loose.

01:11:29.000 The Federal Reserve was like a bank, a strategy for the bankers to take control.

01:11:33.000 The banker plot, the business plot in 1933, I think it was, they wanted to overthrow the government, install fascist dictatorship in the US.

01:11:40.000 Failed.

01:11:41.000 Smedley Butler wouldn't go for it.

01:11:42.000 But like, We gotta shake loose.

01:11:44.000 And I think it's civil disobedience is the way loose.

01:11:46.000 Like, I don't think we can actively, aggressively knock it loose.

01:11:50.000 And the British are great allies to be, I mean, you know, like, human-wise, we're very good.

01:11:54.000 We're very friendly with the British.

01:11:55.000 I like every English guy I know, pretty much, I get along with for the most part.

01:11:59.000 Looks like... Sorry, sorry.

01:12:00.000 Like, riots are starting to break out right now.

01:12:02.000 What's going on?

01:12:03.000 Police are fighting with protesters.

01:12:06.000 This is like 10 minutes ago.

01:12:07.000 Unsurprising.

01:12:08.000 Sorry, sorry.

01:12:09.000 Yeah, who knows if it's a controlled opposition, what's going on, but I'm sure it'll develop as it goes on.

01:12:14.000 No, I think there are serious protesters who have issues with Democratic Party.

01:12:17.000 They just happen to be from the left.

01:12:19.000 The mainstream media has been talking about the fact that it's left-wing people protesting.

01:12:22.000 Now, this is it.

01:12:23.000 This is the imperial authoritarian.

01:12:25.000 They're trying to conquer the Middle East, and people on both sides of the aisle, a lot of people don't want that, and they want it to stop, too. 0.98

01:12:32.000 And right, so what happens?

01:12:34.000 George W. Bush and Barack Obama represent very little difference to me.

01:12:41.000 Obama carried out the same policies, destabilizing the Middle East.

01:12:45.000 Under George W. Bush, you get Iraq and Afghanistan.

01:12:47.000 Under Barack Obama, you got what?

01:12:49.000 You got Libya, you got Syria, you got more Afghanistan. 0.68

01:12:52.000 I mean, it exacerbated quite a bit.

01:12:54.000 You have the rise of ISIS.

01:12:55.000 Donald Trump comes in, done.

01:12:57.000 No new wars, troop withdrawals, peace agreements.

01:13:01.000 Trump was not supposed to win, and we can all plainly see it.

01:13:04.000 Decades of military expansion.

01:13:06.000 I mean, Desert Storm, you go back decades, and the liberal economic order, H.W.

01:13:11.000 Bush, all these people knew exactly what they wanted and exactly what they were doing, and we got it.

01:13:15.000 And then Trump comes in, he goes, no, we're shutting that down.

01:13:18.000 And they lost their minds. 0.99

01:13:19.000 They said he's a traitor. 0.98

01:13:20.000 He's a Russian spy. 1.00

01:13:21.000 He's here to destroy America.

01:13:23.000 Vote for Kamala Harris, like a vote for Joe Biden, is to restore American imperial expansion.

01:13:29.000 And a vote for Donald Trump is to rescind it.

01:13:31.000 Donald Trump's not perfect on the issue.

01:13:33.000 Dave Smith is.

01:13:34.000 Dave Smith is the guy who, if he actually ran, does everything we'd hope for in terms of foreign policy.

01:13:39.000 Donald Trump is the guy who gets us marginally better off than we were before.

01:13:42.000 Abraham Accords, I thought were good.

01:13:43.000 Dave disagrees, but I think they were good.

01:13:45.000 He got other peace agreements.

01:13:46.000 He tried to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula.

01:13:49.000 He did a great job in these areas.

01:13:51.000 And they said he was writing love letters to dictators.

01:13:53.000 Yeah, it's called trying to get peace.

01:13:55.000 Trying to get peace.

01:13:56.000 You say, I don't know or care about what North Korea is doing.

01:13:58.000 We're backing off because we don't want to be at war with you anymore.

01:14:01.000 We want war to stop and we want economic relations to normalize.

01:14:04.000 And North Korea says, OK, let's figure out what we have to do to make that happen.

01:14:07.000 And they go, no, no, because the military industrial complex wants conquest.

01:14:11.000 And Trump didn't.

01:14:12.000 Trump wanted to shore up America's defenses, get better trade agreements, help the working people in this country.

01:14:18.000 And they come out and they say he only cared about himself.

01:14:21.000 It's just laughably absurd, dude.

01:14:23.000 Anyone with half a brain can realize that the only benefit Trump got from any of this was ego. 0.72

01:14:27.000 And if you want to argue Trump's got an ego, I would agree with you.

01:14:30.000 His name is on a bunch of buildings around the world.

01:14:32.000 But he lost billions.

01:14:34.000 If he really just wanted to make himself better off, he'd be swimming, he'd be on a yacht with his big old belly with a beer resting on top of it in the Mediterranean eating grapes.

01:14:42.000 Instead, he's like, I'm going to go to war with the deep state because I like America.

01:14:47.000 He likes the admiration he gets, that's obvious.

01:14:49.000 He likes being a celebrity, that's obvious. 1.00

01:14:52.000 But the idea that he doesn't actually care about what he's doing is stupid. 0.99

01:14:55.000 And I also heard someone say, doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is wrong. 0.99

01:14:59.000 And I'm just like, uh, maybe, but you should still do it.

01:15:04.000 You know, if there was a guy who's like, a burning building, I hear children screaming, if I save those kids, people are going to make me a hero.

01:15:12.000 I'm going to get on the news.

01:15:13.000 I'm going to get on the news.

01:15:14.000 Yeah.

01:15:15.000 And then he rescues two children from a burning building.

01:15:17.000 I'm going to be like, why did you do it, sir?

01:15:18.000 And he goes, because I knew if I saved those kids, I'd be famous.

01:15:21.000 I'd be like, yes, absolutely.

01:15:23.000 Thank you for being motivated to risk your life for whatever that reason may be.

01:15:27.000 We can disagree with your motivations, but you did save two kids.

01:15:30.000 And that would actually be a really interesting story.

01:15:32.000 So if Donald Trump really is in it for those reasons, but he's doing good, and he hopes that in 20 years everyone claps and builds golden statues of him, great, I'll take it.

01:15:39.000 I may be crazy, but I actually find him to be more altruistic than that.

01:15:43.000 I don't think it's just... I agree with you.

01:15:46.000 He's got an ego.

01:15:47.000 I think he enjoys attention and fame.

01:15:49.000 I don't think that's why he's... I think he really... Trump on big buildings everywhere!

01:15:54.000 I know, but I think that he could, I think he could feed his ego and his need for fame in a million dollars.

01:15:59.000 He could do another reality show.

01:16:00.000 He could, you know, he doesn't need to do this.

01:16:02.000 You're right.

01:16:03.000 And I will point out Trump, look, I think you can go back to when Trump was a kid.

01:16:09.000 He wasn't getting the attention he, as a, as a child, perhaps maybe psychoanalyzing an 80 year old man.

01:16:14.000 I'm only 30.

01:16:15.000 I have no idea, but I can tell you this.

01:16:18.000 Trump loves it when people like him.

01:16:20.000 That's a good thing.

01:16:21.000 Trump lines up his employees and hands them $100 bills.

01:16:24.000 And they're like, we love this guy!

01:16:26.000 He like gives us bonuses and he's like, I'm glad you do.

01:16:28.000 I want you to be happy and I want you to like me.

01:16:31.000 Trump wants to be liked.

01:16:31.000 What's wrong with that?

01:16:33.000 He wants to feel like people know he is. 0.88

01:16:36.000 If he was a genocidal maniac who was like, I'm going to build a gigantic 200-foot golden statue of myself and enslave people, that's a bad person. 0.57

01:16:45.000 But if Trump is like, I know how to make everybody love me. 0.83

01:16:48.000 I'm going to improve the economy, secure our borders, bring jobs back, world peace.

01:16:53.000 No, I think that there's – I think it's true.

01:16:54.000 Trump likes to be like – I actually feel like for a lot of politicians, you have to want the spotlight.

01:16:59.000 Like, it would be very difficult to have this type of career if you weren't interested in that at all.

01:17:05.000 Like, Trump is very generous with the staff.

01:17:05.000 And I think it's true.

01:17:07.000 He gives – there are stories about him giving out money and stuff.

01:17:09.000 But I think if you look at his relationship with his grandchildren, right?

01:17:13.000 He actually has fostered very positive relationships from what I can see.

01:17:16.000 I mean his granddaughter spoke at the convention and seemed positive.

01:17:20.000 She's super into golf.

01:17:21.000 She just signed with the University of Miami, right?

01:17:23.000 There are things about him that are obvious that he wants to be like.

01:17:27.000 On the other hand, I think he can authentically win people over and I'm not sure that's true for everyone else who's in politics.

01:17:34.000 I don't know why people think it's a bad thing that you say Trump has an ego and that he wants people to like him.

01:17:38.000 You know, there are people that want to have this vision of him that he's just a noble soul and a saint.

01:17:42.000 I'm like, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be liked.

01:17:45.000 Donald Trump putting his name and brand everywhere and wanting recognition for his work is not bad or wrong in any way.

01:17:52.000 And he's going about getting that attention by trying to help people.

01:17:55.000 I don't think it's pure altruism where he's like, I will sacrifice everything for the fate of humanity.

01:18:00.000 He's saying, it feels good to be liked and recognized for doing good things.

01:18:04.000 Like, he's doing good things, and I think a part of his motivation is that he wants people to know who he is.

01:18:13.000 I think that's totally, completely fine.

01:18:15.000 It's a fine motivation to have.

01:18:16.000 You want to be recognized for your hard work.

01:18:18.000 So Trump is like, I know how to get recognition.

01:18:20.000 I'll help as many people as I can.

01:18:22.000 I'll sacrifice, work really, really hard, and then they'll recognize me.

01:18:25.000 And I'm like, yes, they absolutely will.

01:18:27.000 Sorry, I think that if it's, you know, your ego and your need for attention, there comes a point where When they're trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life or shooting you in the head or whatever that you might Be like, you know what?

01:18:39.000 I don't need attention this much order I mean the fact that he continues to go forward despite all these things.

01:18:44.000 I just have to believe that he well That's that's that wants to help people I agree that he wants to help people, but I think a part of his motivation is that he wants people to like the country.

01:18:54.000 I think he's lawful neutral, and that his alignment's been changing.

01:18:58.000 And it could have gone evil, but it's been changing towards good the last four years or five years.

01:19:03.000 And he's becoming more altruistic.

01:19:05.000 He's having a spiritual awakening.

01:19:07.000 You can see it in his face and in his voice after the assassination attempt.

01:19:11.000 He's a different human being.

01:19:12.000 But to your point, I don't think it's, you know, when he nearly gets shot and killed.

01:19:12.000 He said he did.

01:19:21.000 I wouldn't say it's his altruism that keeps him going.

01:19:24.000 I would say it's his strength.

01:19:26.000 Donald Trump is a man who appreciates being recognized for his hard work, for his capabilities.

01:19:32.000 I think that's a strong piece of what motivates him.

01:19:34.000 Like, putting his name as his brand shows he wants people to know he's the one who's doing this.

01:19:39.000 I think he wants to go about doing it by helping people.

01:19:43.000 That's why, even before he ran for president, he's famous for walking up to his employees and handing out $100 bills to them.

01:19:50.000 He's like, I want you to know and respect the work that I do, the hard work that I do, and I want you to be better off for it.

01:19:55.000 Here's a hundred dollars.

01:19:57.000 It is a component of it.

01:19:58.000 And when they nearly kill him and they attack him, it's the strength that got him to that point that makes him stand up and say, now I'm doubling down.

01:20:07.000 So I don't have this view in my mind of Donald Trump as being like, I will sacrifice all that I have for the betterment of mankind.

01:20:14.000 No, he's like, I know what I'm doing.

01:20:16.000 I know what's going to work.

01:20:17.000 I know it can help people.

01:20:18.000 I know how to run companies.

01:20:20.000 People need to recognize this for more than just ego.

01:20:22.000 It's also about knowing when a leader is good and recognizing that person should be in charge.

01:20:27.000 And then when they come after him, now it's, you want to screw with me?

01:20:30.000 You better not miss.

01:20:32.000 Something I've noticed about ego is like, Sometimes it's the most egotistical thing you can do is to not use your body for its greatest purpose, is to hide and let yourself just be safely unknown.

01:20:44.000 That's ego taking over and keeping your body safe.

01:20:48.000 I agree.

01:20:49.000 To make yourself famous is a big sacrifice.

01:20:52.000 To be known by so many people because you're going to be hated by a lot of them.

01:20:55.000 That's a huge sacrifice.

01:20:57.000 I was having a conversation earlier with Richie about this skateboarder and the varying degrees of fame that exist.

01:21:03.000 There's global notoriety, like Donald Trump.

01:21:07.000 The man cannot go out for breakfast without a security detail and someone watching the chef.

01:21:13.000 And that's torturous.

01:21:15.000 People need to understand.

01:21:16.000 There's a lot of people who seem to think like, oh, it must be so great to live this way.

01:21:21.000 There's a reason why Donald Trump eats McDonald's.

01:21:23.000 Do you guys know what it is?

01:21:24.000 Yeah, does he still?

01:21:25.000 Yes.

01:21:26.000 You know why? 0.99

01:21:26.000 I hope he cut it out of his head. 0.99

01:21:27.000 No. 0.99

01:21:27.000 Because it's prepackaged. 0.99

01:21:29.000 Exactly.

01:21:30.000 Because they can walk into a fast food restaurant and there's a burger sitting that was made before, and he goes, that one.

01:21:35.000 Because if he goes in and he says, I want a Big Mac, someone's going to spit in it.

01:21:38.000 Someone's going to screw with him just to be the one who got Trump. 0.99

01:21:41.000 Whether they like him or don't like him, because people are nuts. 0.96

01:21:43.000 So, people make fun of him and say, ah, he's eating McDonald's again.

01:21:46.000 Yeah, because if he tells someone to go pick up McDonald's, nobody screws with it.

01:21:49.000 They have standards and regulations, and he sends a guy, and a guy in says, I need five Big Mac meals.

01:21:54.000 Then he walks in, boom, fast food.

01:21:56.000 Trump goes to a restaurant, and he does, he does, but he's got to have security with him.

01:22:00.000 That is a... like, I don't think people truly understand.

01:22:03.000 I was at VidCon, and I saw this YouTuber guy.

01:22:06.000 And he had a bodyguard holding him the whole time, everywhere he went.

01:22:11.000 A guy who was like 6'5", and I was like, why would you want to live that way?

01:22:14.000 Just for being a YouTuber.

01:22:16.000 Right?

01:22:17.000 I couldn't imagine what Donald Trump goes through.

01:22:18.000 They nearly killed the guy.

01:22:19.000 It's because the good you can do when you're famous sometimes outweighs the sacrifice you have to make.

01:22:24.000 We gotta at least get this one story in before we go to Super Chats.

01:22:27.000 From the post-millennial.

01:22:29.000 Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear wishes rape upon J.D. 1.00

01:22:32.000 Vance's family. 0.98

01:22:34.000 It's not an exaggeration.

01:22:36.000 And apparently, when he was asked to clarify, he doubled down. 0.67

01:22:40.000 Quote, after speaking on the DNC main stage last night, Harris campaign surrogate Governor Andy Beshear went on national television this morning and explicitly called for a member of Senator Vance's family to be raped, the Trump-Vance campaign said.

01:22:54.000 We'll play it.

01:22:55.000 The quote is, make him go through this.

01:22:57.000 That's what Bashir said.

01:22:59.000 When asked about it again, he apparently said something to the effect of, oh, it's a deflection or whatever.

01:23:04.000 JD Vance responds, What the hell is this? 0.95

01:23:06.000 pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient. 0.93

01:23:10.000 Like, inconvenience is traffic. 0.52

01:23:12.000 I mean, it is... make him go through this.

01:23:15.000 I mean, think about...

01:23:16.000 When asked about it again, he apparently said something to the effect of,

01:23:19.000 oh, it's a deflection or whatever.

01:23:21.000 JD Vance responds, what the hell is this? 1.00

01:23:23.000 Why is Andy Beshear wishing that a member of my family would get raped? 0.99

01:23:27.000 I mean, yeah. 0.99

01:23:29.000 That's kinda wild. 0.99

01:23:31.000 Make his family go through a rape pregnancy. 0.99

01:23:35.000 Dude.

01:23:36.000 You know, it's something I don't do, is wish that people have to suffer trauma to realize what's really valuable in life.

01:23:41.000 Like, um, the horror of war, so you can realize how important and how great it is to have quiet and peace and health.

01:23:48.000 I just won't let myself go to that point where I actually wish them to have to feel the suffering.

01:23:53.000 I can assure you this.

01:23:55.000 If a member of J.D.

01:23:56.000 Vance's family was raped, they would not abort the kid.

01:24:00.000 We have had very many pro-life people through these doors and sitting in these chairs who would outright say, absolutely not no abortion, no exceptions.

01:24:09.000 The idea that Andy Beshear thinks that J.D.

01:24:12.000 Vance's family member getting raped would result in them considering aborting their child means he fundamentally does not understand.

01:24:19.000 So it's just shocking that he would say something like this.

01:24:22.000 I mean, it's that expression, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, right?

01:24:25.000 This apparently does not apply here.

01:24:27.000 And I think that almost talks—I mentioned this the other day, but I think in some ways the abortion issue is a larger-than-life caricature issue for Democrats right now.

01:24:37.000 The fact that you could say, like, we'll make him go through this and not realize the consequences of what you're saying, as if implying, like, this is just a trial someone should go through, is very strange.

01:24:48.000 And, you know, Andrew Scheer was on the shortlist for a potential VP candidate for Harris, and I find it fascinating that he is this Democratic governor from what is effectively a red state, Kentucky, and he is so flippant about this issue.

01:25:06.000 It's just something that I feel like I think he thought it through.

01:25:10.000 his own career on the line and I assume he he thinks it's worth it that that the

01:25:15.000 Walz Harris campaign will provide him a future so he should just say whatever he

01:25:18.000 can or else he didn't think of it think it through which is pretty thoughtless.

01:25:21.000 I think he thought it through. I think what he said actually sounds fairly common in Democrat

01:25:25.000 circles. When he was like make him go through this it sounds very typical of how Democrats

01:25:31.000 perceive these issues.

01:25:33.000 They genuinely think that if someone raped a member of Vance's family, they'd immediately go, well, I guess it's abortion.

01:25:39.000 They say these things.

01:25:40.000 They say the left believes that these pro-life individuals, first of all, They run the lie where they show up to these pro-life events and they go, how many kids have you adopted?

01:25:51.000 And there's a bunch of people being like, none.

01:25:52.000 And they're like, aha, that proves it.

01:25:54.000 And then they ignore like, I don't know, Amy Coney Barrett's family.

01:25:56.000 And I think she's adopted like two.

01:25:58.000 And many pro-lifers are substantially more likely to adopt.

01:26:01.000 It's much more common.

01:26:02.000 They act like they're the ones adopting.

01:26:04.000 They live in this world where they genuinely believe everyone thinks exactly like they do.

01:26:09.000 And the only reason they're pro-life is because they're lying.

01:26:12.000 That's it. 0.99

01:26:13.000 They're lying and they hate women. 0.55

01:26:14.000 But if they ever had a situation, then they would not be pro-life anymore. 0.95

01:26:18.000 Wrong.

01:26:20.000 I guarantee you, J.D.

01:26:20.000 Absolutely not.

01:26:22.000 Vance's family would be like, well, we'll care for the child.

01:26:26.000 What do you think?

01:26:26.000 What do you think Andy Beshear was thinking?

01:26:28.000 I think that they have to bring everything back to abortion.

01:26:31.000 I think because they have no actual policies to run on, as we pointed out before, this abortion, J6, That's it. 1.00

01:26:39.000 And that's the policy.

01:26:42.000 No, seriously, though, I think that they know that to win this election, they're going to have to inflame the sensibilities of a lot of women and convince a lot of women that their rights are going to be in danger if they would consider voting for Donald Trump or J.D.

01:26:57.000 Vance.

01:26:58.000 And I think any opportunity to remind women what's at stake and to make it seem, by the way, as if it's like a common occurrence, these rape pregnancies, which are extraordinarily rare.

01:27:09.000 Um, I think that's why he did it.

01:27:11.000 Yeah, I think it is interesting that this is the issue Harris in particular thinks she's going to win on. 0.78

01:27:17.000 I mean, she was touring the country on her, you know, pro-abortion tour beforehand.

01:27:22.000 First time she met Walls was at a Planned Parenthood, which she toured as, you know, it was, it was unprecedented having a vice president tour an abortion clinic.

01:27:29.000 But I have to wonder if, uh, The issue is, you know, I saw some poll that said, you know, it's not considered a major issue by most Americans.

01:27:41.000 So they can bring up abortion constantly, right? 0.99

01:27:44.000 They can do it in these kind of graphic ways and they can talk, they can have their, you know, abortion and vasectomy bus outside the DNC.

01:27:52.000 At the end of the day, even women who think it is a major issue for them are still impacted by the economy. 1.00

01:27:58.000 They're still impacted by crime.

01:28:00.000 I don't know that you can use abortion enough to distract from the realities that you have a weak campaign on those issues.

01:28:04.000 How many abortions are they getting? 1.00

01:28:07.000 Like, it's kind of crazy.

01:28:08.000 I'm like, is it really that common?

01:28:09.000 I mean that seriously.

01:28:10.000 Do they have abortions that often? 1.00

01:28:13.000 Well, this could be, to your point, the most important thing in your life when you can't afford gas and groceries and whatever, but you're like, yeah, but I need to be able to abort.

01:28:22.000 Whenever I want to.

01:28:22.000 Yeah.

01:28:23.000 I listened to this interview a couple months ago with women who were, I think it was, they were in Texas and they had various, you know, Texas has a restriction on abortion and they were saying, you know, and I had to undergo this or I would want to leave state.

01:28:34.000 And there's one woman who was like, You know, and I couldn't afford to leave the state to undergo an abortion.

01:28:40.000 And I, like, wanted to pull my hair and it's like, you know, first off, the fact that, like, your only default option is abortion is sad.

01:28:45.000 But on top of that, like, you're you're listing an economic complaint here that you don't have the money to travel.

01:28:51.000 Why don't you have any money?

01:28:52.000 Because of the Biden economy.

01:28:54.000 Not that I want you to go out of state to get an abortion. 1.00

01:28:54.000 Right. 1.00

01:28:57.000 That's, that's almost separate to me.

01:28:58.000 But, you know, even these women who are presenting these arguments as to why these, these are bad issues, touch on the economy as they, well, it's too expensive to have a kid right now. 1.00

01:29:07.000 Oh, so you wouldn't abort your kid if it was less, it was more affordable, you could have children, the economy wasn't so bad.

01:29:12.000 Like, they all can't pass, they all have to pass by this issue to make any sort of complaint.

01:29:18.000 And I find that to be amazing that the DNC would prioritize this issue over everything

01:29:26.000 else.

01:29:27.000 It's just illogical.

01:29:28.000 But it's also kind of a hoax at the end of the day because, number one, that's not what

01:29:33.000 the Supreme Court decision on Roe even meant.

01:29:36.000 You can still get an abortion. 1.00

01:29:37.000 That's not a thing.

01:29:38.000 And number two, the majority of Republicans, I think, support exceptions.

01:29:42.000 There's not really that many Republicans who want an outright ban for abortion in this country, I don't think.

01:29:48.000 I don't know, maybe you guys disagree.

01:29:49.000 There are a lot.

01:29:50.000 I think it's a hoax issue.

01:29:52.000 There are a lot.

01:29:54.000 You think it's the majority?

01:29:56.000 I don't know.

01:29:57.000 I think it's like 7%.

01:29:58.000 No, it's way more than 7.

01:30:01.000 But you get some loud people that are like, no, it should be completely banned.

01:30:06.000 And then 28,000 people liked the clip.

01:30:08.000 And then it's like, oh, that's going to make a lot of waves.

01:30:10.000 I'm pretty sure if you asked most pro-lifers, I'm pretty sure 100% of pro-lifers would say

01:30:18.000 in an ideal society, there's no abortion at all. 0.99

01:30:20.000 Now as to whether politically they want to ban it, many would be like, well, we'll leave it to the states.

01:30:25.000 And so that's probably the distinction.

01:30:27.000 There won't be a federal abortion ban. 0.79

01:30:29.000 Seamus Coghlan, for instance, and...

01:30:32.000 Who runs, is it Live Action?

01:30:34.000 Live Action?

01:30:35.000 Live Action?

01:30:35.000 Yeah, the pro-life organization.

01:30:38.000 I don't know who runs it.

01:30:39.000 Check it out.

01:30:40.000 I think their stance is pretty much like no abortions, period.

01:30:43.000 Seamus is hardcore.

01:30:44.000 He's like one of the only people I know that talks like that.

01:30:46.000 Well, and the thing is, you're asking...

01:30:48.000 You know, do the majority of Republicans support, I think, I would say the majority of Republicans probably support some sort of restriction.

01:30:54.000 I don't think they all support a six-week ban, which tends to be the earliest, the heartbeat bans or stuff like that.

01:31:00.000 But even in states where there are really intense restrictions, you know, six-week or whatever else, they still have exceptions for typically rape, incest, and life of the mother.

01:31:09.000 And so there are there is a level of flexibility that there's being presented even in these like more intensive restrictive states.

01:31:17.000 And so I think that just tells you that this is not an issue that Republicans are totally 100 percent dead step, you know, agreed upon.

01:31:24.000 And probably that's good, right?

01:31:25.000 This is a complex issue that there should be a lot of nuance in debate, too, unlike the Democratic Party, which is like Fear mongering.

01:31:34.000 I mean, Kamala always refers to any ban that's gotten passed as a Trump abortion ban, even though Roe v. Wade was overturned under Biden and Trump has said he wants it to be governed by the state and also he's not campaigning.

01:31:46.000 Like, he is not an elected official from a lot of these states that have these bans that she's so critical of.

01:31:52.000 And he said he doesn't support a national ban.

01:31:54.000 And he supports exceptions.

01:31:57.000 Lila Rose is live action, you mentioned earlier, and I know she's full on like no abortions ever anywhere. 1.00

01:32:04.000 And I mean even people commenting right now saying there should never be an exception for rape is no excuse for aborting a baby.

01:32:11.000 I find it so authoritarian, and not that all authoritarianism is bad, but like, commanding what other people can and can't do with their bodies, and of course it's the body of the child, you want to protect the life of the innocent, I get it, but it's also the woman's body, she's over there, she's not you, like, focus on your own life.

01:32:27.000 I would probably categorize myself more as post-liberal these days, especially listening to the likes of Carl Benjamin and such, and the Lotus Eaters are very smart, and I think I've come to realize over the past several years Post-liberalism is not conservatism.

01:32:41.000 Conservatism has traditional values associated with it.

01:32:44.000 Post-liberalism is more so, at least the things I think are interesting, is recognizing that what you just said, Ian, is just the destruction.

01:32:53.000 It's capitulation.

01:32:56.000 Giving up and letting evil succeed.

01:32:59.000 A moral functioning society has to have boundaries by which people agree to operate within.

01:33:05.000 And so telling someone that we're not going to let you cut your hands off, there's a reason for that, it's bad for you and you're wrong, extends to a bunch of other areas as well.

01:33:13.000 However, the reality is, it's all about moral worldview.

01:33:17.000 And there are people, I think, you know, when I was a lot younger, I genuinely believed principles dictated things.

01:33:22.000 And so long as we understood the logic behind it, we'd accept it.

01:33:25.000 But then you understand that it's actually morals which are structured in what you think will lead to the correct outcome and what will make lives better.

01:33:33.000 And that's different for a lot of people.

01:33:34.000 But if there's a collective group of people that are willing to adhere to a certain set of standards to avoid a certain detriment, then it has to be enforced.

01:33:43.000 That is, if people all today decided, I want to cut my hand off because I have body dysmorphia, we say no.

01:33:50.000 We're going to do what we can to prevent you from doing that.

01:33:52.000 That's bad for you.

01:33:53.000 And then there are libertarians saying, if somebody wants to do it, why not?

01:33:56.000 I think because more people doesn't equal better.

01:33:59.000 You want more quality people.

01:34:01.000 If you get more psychopaths, it's actually worse.

01:34:05.000 But also, I'm riding up the coattails of 30 years of thinking abortion was fine. 0.92

01:34:09.000 Not fine, I hate it, but it's accepted.

01:34:12.000 So everything is a slippery slope always.

01:34:15.000 So when you move in any direction, culturally and politically, You open the door to, uh, you push the boundaries of what would be considered extreme.

01:34:26.000 So there was a period in this country where gay marriage was considered extreme.

01:34:29.000 You go back 50 years or whatever, it was unheard of.

01:34:31.000 Then it got to the point in this country where it became more socially acceptable for a variety of reasons.

01:34:35.000 Proximity, people knew people who were LGBT or whatever and said, you know, they're fine, whatever, they don't cause me any problems.

01:34:41.000 And then it came to gay marriage.

01:34:43.000 The argument from conservatives in 2008 with like, was it Prop 8 or whatever in California on gay marriage was, they're going to start teaching kids this stuff in school, and the Democrats said that's absurd, that'll never happen.

01:34:53.000 But it's logically consistent.

01:34:55.000 The argument then became, after the leak, after what, 2014 was Obergefell?

01:35:00.000 Fifteen.

01:35:01.000 Fifteen?

01:35:02.000 Now, the argument from Democrats was, well, if there's a gay teacher with a picture of his husband on his desk, you have to explain to the kid what that is, right?

01:35:10.000 So now it has to be included in curriculum.

01:35:13.000 I'm not saying that's right or wrong.

01:35:14.000 I'm just saying that when the conservatives were like, if you allow gay marriage, normalizing society, They will teach this in schools. 0.99

01:35:21.000 And the Democrats said, oh, you're crazy. 0.93

01:35:23.000 We're just saying let people live their lives. 0.98

01:35:25.000 But the logic was there.

01:35:27.000 Everything pushes the boundaries.

01:35:29.000 And so now we're at the point where we had a video yesterday where a guy who's HIV positive said he shouldn't have to tell anybody that he had HIV.

01:35:35.000 And that when he hooked up with a guy and then told him after, the guy looked at him like he had been murdered.

01:35:39.000 But Democrats actually are pushing laws that decriminalize knowingly engaging in behaviors which could spread HIV.

01:35:48.000 Without informing the other person.

01:35:49.000 I think that's bioterrorism, personally.

01:35:51.000 Well, this is where we're getting, and the argument is, you're oppressing people.

01:35:55.000 Whenever you allow something, what becomes extreme moves further and further away.

01:36:00.000 This is not a statement of what is right or wrong, it's a statement of fact.

01:36:03.000 That if you say, no rock music.

01:36:07.000 Not allowed.

01:36:08.000 We will not have any rock music anywhere in America.

01:36:10.000 And then someone says, what about guitars?

01:36:12.000 Guitars can be used for other kinds of music.

01:36:14.000 And you say, okay, fine.

01:36:15.000 I guess guitars are fine.

01:36:16.000 Now someone's playing guitar and they start playing something that's kind of like rock and people start coming to like it.

01:36:22.000 And then someone says, can we have drums too?

01:36:24.000 And they're like, well, we already have the guitars.

01:36:27.000 Then you explain to people, start teaching about rock music and what guitars are used for.

01:36:31.000 Then it becomes common.

01:36:32.000 Then someone says, I want to play the drums.

01:36:34.000 It's not that it's right or wrong to play drums.

01:36:36.000 I'm using it as an example of, if you open the door to one thing, What becomes more acceptable expands and moves around it.

01:36:42.000 Yeah, but okay, so in an example where somebody intentionally gives someone HIV, something that they didn't want, something that permanently changes their life.

01:36:49.000 Without their consent.

01:36:50.000 Without their consent, it's a terrible thing.

01:36:51.000 Like, we acknowledge that's a terrible thing, right?

01:36:54.000 But what about giving someone a baby that they didn't want? 0.97

01:36:57.000 What about raping someone, impregnating them, and giving them something that they did not want? 0.98

01:37:04.000 And this is the moral challenge.

01:37:06.000 I fall into the more libertarian, pro-choice-ish camp on this one, in that you can't violate one person's consent because of another person's requirements, but there's no moral answer.

01:37:18.000 There's none.

01:37:19.000 The idea that one life has to be sacrificed to the actions of another, and I recognize that conservative argument, and it's true, but there's no middle ground here.

01:37:27.000 It's a razor-thin, one side or the other, end of story. 0.94

01:37:33.000 A guy rapes a woman.

01:37:35.000 There is now three individuals involved. 0.76

01:37:37.000 The woman, the baby, and the guy.

01:37:39.000 Neither the woman or the baby asked for the circumstance, and both are victims in the circumstance.

01:37:44.000 I think the challenge, however, is forcing a woman who did not consent to provide her body to another person. 0.92

01:37:50.000 I don't see how you reconcile that.

01:37:52.000 I don't.

01:37:53.000 I would prefer there not to be an abortion. 0.97

01:37:55.000 I think that's wrong, but this is the difference I think I have morally with many conservatives on the pro-life issue. 0.53

01:37:59.000 However, we all agree that modern pro-choice Democrats are insane. 0.85

01:38:03.000 Yes. 1.00

01:38:05.000 And I personally have friends who are the product of rape. 0.94

01:38:10.000 People who I love, who I can't imagine not being in my life.

01:38:13.000 I would assume they've grown quite fond of living.

01:38:15.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:38:15.000 Yeah, no, absolutely.

01:38:16.000 And that's a super compelling argument for, you know, why we shouldn't just assume that because somebody's raped, they should terminate.

01:38:26.000 I just can't wrap my head around forcing someone to carry a pregnancy from somebody that they never wanted on their, you know, I just can't. 0.99

01:38:35.000 I have this view that a lot of people disagree with, the pro-life conservatives, that if there were two guys walking down the street and a mad scientist kidnapped one of them, or let's not do the mad scientist, right?

01:38:46.000 Let's say you wake up in a hospital bed with tubes connecting your blood to another guy's blood and they're like, you never consented to this.

01:38:55.000 But if you disconnect the blood now, that man dies.

01:38:57.000 So you're not allowed to disconnect it.

01:38:59.000 I'd be like, nice try, buddy.

01:39:01.000 Like, these tubes are coming out.

01:39:02.000 You can't force me to give my blood to somebody else.

01:39:04.000 You can't force me to give my body to somebody else.

01:39:05.000 It's my life.

01:39:06.000 I make those decisions.

01:39:07.000 I don't know if we have something planned, but we should do a culture war abortion debate. 0.99

01:39:10.000 I'm pretty sure we did.

01:39:12.000 We should do another one with, like, hardcore pro-life, hardcore pro-choice, if we can find people like that, and then just sit in the middle and be like... I agree.

01:39:22.000 We should.

01:39:23.000 We will.

01:39:23.000 And I know how it'll play out.

01:39:25.000 The conservative side will offer up concessions to reduce abortion, and the pro-choice liberal side will say, never, no way, never gonna happen.

01:39:34.000 Because that happened when we had Matt Bender on with Seamus, and Matt Bender called me pro-life.

01:39:39.000 And Seamus is like, no, Tim is not pro-life.

01:39:42.000 But Matt, progressive, is like, a woman, she was going to get an abortion at any point for any

01:39:48.000 reason, no one can tell her otherwise. And I'm like, even if the baby is going to survive,

01:39:51.000 like it's a nine month baby, like it's ready to be born, why kill it?

01:39:55.000 So it doesn't matter, it's a woman's choice. And I'm like, that's not pro-choice, that's pro-death. 1.00

01:39:58.000 We're going to go to Super Chat. So smash the like button, subscribe to this channel,

01:40:03.000 share the show if you do like it.

01:40:05.000 Head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to support the show.

01:40:09.000 That members-only show will be coming up at 10 p.m.

01:40:12.000 You don't want to miss it.

01:40:13.000 We will take questions from you, the audience, and carry on these conversations.

01:40:17.000 TokenBlackGuy with the first super chat saying, Howdy people!

01:40:21.000 Tim, I think it would be pretty cool if one Friday out of the month you offered an elite member the opportunity to come on IRL.

01:40:26.000 Thoughts?

01:40:27.000 We have considered it.

01:40:28.000 We won't.

01:40:30.000 Because we don't allow people to buy their way onto the show.

01:40:33.000 And that's, it is different.

01:40:35.000 You're an elite member.

01:40:37.000 And we, you know, like, I think it's really cool that Raymond has joined the, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:40:41.000 has joined the roster.

01:40:42.000 Speaking of, people are requesting that Raymond and I make an appearance together on IRL.

01:40:46.000 So next time he's hosting, I'm coming in fifth chair.

01:40:48.000 It's going to be hot.

01:40:49.000 We can just have him come tomorrow when you're here.

01:40:50.000 Let's do it.

01:40:51.000 I'll sit five tomorrow.

01:40:52.000 And I'm like, it's really cool, you know, because Raymond superchats so often, he's very involved in Discord and the community, but he works here, and he's a smart guy, and he's good at what he does, and I thought he'd be great third chair, and he did a great job, and we're like, you know, Raymond, you're a smart guy.

01:41:06.000 And, you know, we've thought about, we've got a lot of members who call in, who host before and after show, the challenges The very thin line of, we have people call, like email us being like, hey, we'd like to sponsor the show for $30,000.

01:41:22.000 And we're like, great, what are you thinking?

01:41:23.000 We come on, we do it.

01:41:25.000 Thank you and have a nice day.

01:41:26.000 We don't do that.

01:41:27.000 And so There is a way I think we bring Discord members onto the show, but I don't think we make it elite members.

01:41:34.000 It has to just be a general member.

01:41:36.000 It can't be tied to the amount of money you pay or that you're in the elite membership or something like that.

01:41:41.000 I think it might just be if you're a frequent caller that does a really good job and everyone in the community votes for it, we might do more of like a vote and we can invite the person out to be third chair.

01:41:50.000 That probably makes more sense.

01:41:51.000 Yeah, there's really interesting people to call in.

01:41:53.000 That'd be really cool.

01:41:54.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:41:55.000 Absolutely.

01:41:55.000 We have frequent callers who are very smart, and people who host the pre-shows and the after-shows, and they're starting their own podcast, too.

01:42:04.000 So that's definitely a possibility.

01:42:06.000 The only thing I'm saying is, it can't be tied to the elite members club.

01:42:11.000 It has to just be like, if you're a member, it's totally fine.

01:42:13.000 If we have a voting system or something, that would be actually super easy.

01:42:19.000 You're actually an elite human being, then the spotlight's for you.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, I wouldn't want it to be like, upgrade your membership, pay more, and maybe you can be on the show.

01:42:26.000 No, no, no, I can't be like that.

01:42:27.000 I just want to give a special howdy to you, TokenBlackGuy.

01:42:31.000 Thanks for that super chat.

01:42:33.000 Sam Urai says, howdy people!

01:42:35.000 I'm here watching failed musician Phil Labonte and his band, All That Remains, slash Megadeth concert.

01:42:40.000 I'll catch tonight's stream later.

01:42:42.000 I really hope to see Dave Mustaine on Timcast one day.

01:42:45.000 Oh, that's so hot.

01:42:46.000 Have you been in touch with Phil?

01:42:47.000 Have you guys talked to him since he's been on tour?

01:42:49.000 Anybody?

01:42:49.000 I have a little bit.

01:42:50.000 I have not even talked to him yet.

01:42:53.000 How's the tour going?

01:42:54.000 I mean, it looks epic.

01:42:55.000 It looks great.

01:42:56.000 They're crushing on the bus.

01:42:57.000 Did his bus get broken down or they just got a really nice bus so that it doesn't break down?

01:43:01.000 He said it's the biggest point of vulnerability on any rock tour is the bus.

01:43:05.000 Yeah.

01:43:05.000 So they've got a really nice bus.

01:43:06.000 I was thinking of maybe checking out the September 7th show.

01:43:09.000 Yeah, let's hit it.

01:43:10.000 It's in Raleigh.

01:43:10.000 Cool.

01:43:11.000 North Carolina?

01:43:12.000 Yeah.

01:43:12.000 Yeah, let's go.

01:43:13.000 I think it's like six hours or something.

01:43:15.000 Yeah, it's not bad.

01:43:15.000 I want to go to the one in Richmond because that's only like two and a half hours.

01:43:18.000 Richmond?

01:43:18.000 When's this?

01:43:18.000 Virginia.

01:43:19.000 It's late September.

01:43:21.000 But is that on a weekend?

01:43:22.000 I don't... I'll look.

01:43:23.000 Hold on.

01:43:24.000 If it's on a weekend...

01:43:25.000 Let's go.

01:43:26.000 That'll be great.

01:43:27.000 Let's do an episode from backstage or from the bus, from the tour bus.

01:43:31.000 Oh man, if we could, I don't know.

01:43:33.000 Yeah, we can.

01:43:34.000 I mean, they're going to be live on stage while we're like doing a show on a, I don't know.

01:43:37.000 See.

01:43:37.000 Phil's probably going like, Ian, stop.

01:43:39.000 Yeah, Phil, we're coming for you.

01:43:40.000 We're all on stage with Phil.

01:43:42.000 He told me that we could all go on stage the whole time.

01:43:44.000 And he wants you to sing.

01:43:45.000 He doesn't want me to sing.

01:43:47.000 He's so jealous.

01:43:48.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:43:48.000 Do you have the dates?

01:43:49.000 Uh, let me see.

01:43:52.000 I don't see it right now.

01:43:54.000 Oh, no.

01:43:54.000 Okay, so Richmond, Virginia is Sunday, September 15th, so I don't know.

01:43:57.000 Oh, really?

01:43:58.000 It's a morning show, but... No, that's fine.

01:44:00.000 It could be cool.

01:44:00.000 Yeah, it's only a couple hours.

01:44:01.000 It's a shorter drive, yeah.

01:44:03.000 Ooh.

01:44:04.000 I still see you in town.

01:44:05.000 Yeah, maybe we come here.

01:44:07.000 John says, fun fact, Tim.

01:44:08.000 Did you know that if you ask JetGPT about the Trump assassination attempt, it will lie to you and tell you that it never happened?

01:44:13.000 The more you know.

01:44:14.000 Yeah, I think we were messing around with this and posting screenshots and stuff.

01:44:17.000 That it was like, no such thing occurred.

01:44:19.000 And then I was like, you're wrong.

01:44:19.000 And it goes, I'm sorry about that.

01:44:21.000 You're correct.

01:44:22.000 It did happen.

01:44:22.000 And I'm like, that's weird, dude.

01:44:25.000 Meta AI, I think, was doing that too.

01:44:26.000 Have you noticed people accidentally calling it the Trump assassination?

01:44:31.000 And it's, like, the memetic magic of, like, manifesting an actual assassination.

01:44:35.000 Like, you've got to always call it an attempt.

01:44:37.000 A failed attempt at assassination.

01:44:39.000 Don't fall privy to the laziness of calling it an assassination.

01:44:42.000 All right.

01:44:42.000 Paul Gray says, Brandon, day one fan.

01:44:44.000 Your new video gave me chills.

01:44:46.000 It summed up the insanity of the last six years.

01:44:49.000 It should be in textbooks in 2020 and 2040.

01:44:51.000 We are getting hit with buckshot of world changing events weekly.

01:44:55.000 It's easy to lose track.

01:44:56.000 Keep up the amazing work.

01:44:58.000 I gotta tell you, man, I think it is absolutely funny when, what is it, like two weeks before someone shot Trump in the head.

01:45:10.000 In the ear, but you know, that's part of the set.

01:45:12.000 And I was having a debate with someone who was arguing that no such civil war was possible.

01:45:17.000 It's not going to happen.

01:45:19.000 Nothing will happen.

01:45:20.000 And then like a week and a half later, someone tried to murder Donald Trump.

01:45:24.000 And the media said, corporate press said, we were a millimeter away from a civil war.

01:45:30.000 And I'm just like, dude.

01:45:32.000 Go back to 2018, and everyone says, Tim, you're crazy for talking about this.

01:45:35.000 And my response is, and always will be the same, all I did was read The Atlantic.

01:45:40.000 All I did was read The Hill.

01:45:42.000 A Princeton professor said it.

01:45:43.000 The Atlantic said it.

01:45:44.000 My opinion is not something that I fabricated out of thin air, saying the end is nigh.

01:45:48.000 I was going, wow, look at what these national security advisors and corporate outlets are saying about the conflict in the United States.

01:45:54.000 They may be right.

01:45:55.000 And then I bring on a journalist and talk about it, and everyone's like, huh, Tim's crazy for thinking that's gonna happen.

01:45:59.000 And I'm like, I'm just repeating the corporate press, not even a unique opinion to me.

01:46:02.000 Last night I was opening a box, as a bit of a metaphor, and I full force ripped the box open, but I was too close to the wall, and I slammed my elbow into the wall, and it ripped open the skin, and I was bleeding, and I was like, how quickly life can change?

01:46:14.000 And I just went, everything was about healing my elbow.

01:46:18.000 Everything became, how fast something, the entire system can alter, and your priorities can shift.

01:46:23.000 Well here's, here's, here's, Most people who suffer any kind of accident.

01:46:27.000 You're driving in a car.

01:46:28.000 You're going to get pizza.

01:46:29.000 It's a boring Saturday, you know, early evening with your friends and you're like, we'll go pick up some some pizzas and then, you know, go back and watch the fight or whatever.

01:46:38.000 And then you get t-boned.

01:46:40.000 You wake up three months later and you can't move your legs.

01:46:42.000 And you're just like, what happened?

01:46:44.000 That split second, that moment, and your life did a 180.

01:46:49.000 So my life became all about trying to charge an electric car for 24 hours.

01:46:54.000 That must have been like hell on earth.

01:46:55.000 And it was the same one Elad got.

01:46:56.000 What is it called?

01:46:58.000 It's a Polestar, right? 0.91

01:46:59.000 Polestar 2.

01:47:00.000 And there's no charging stations?

01:47:01.000 There's one every what, 150 miles?

01:47:03.000 Oh, there's lots, just none of them work.

01:47:05.000 This is like a land scam running out of rental car agencies in New York.

01:47:08.000 How long does it take to charge that thing?

01:47:11.000 Well, so there's slow stations, fast stations, and super fast stations.

01:47:15.000 So I went to all of them, and one of them, I think, was the super fast station.

01:47:20.000 I got about 60% charge in about 45 minutes.

01:47:25.000 Whoa, that's terrible.

01:47:27.000 Yeah, well that was fast.

01:47:28.000 That was like the super fast.

01:47:30.000 I went, I picked up Cybertruck today.

01:47:31.000 Yeah dude!

01:47:33.000 Drove one Tesla with all of us in the car.

01:47:35.000 At 75% we arrived, it was 90 miles, and we were at 45%.

01:47:41.000 Then, got the truck, grabbed some Chipotle, drove back.

01:47:47.000 The Tesla upon return was at 13%.

01:47:49.000 So it carried four people on the way there, and it carried one person on the way back, and so that's 180 miles before it went from 75 to 13.

01:47:57.000 They say the range is 300 or so, but it is certainly not.

01:48:00.000 Just so everyone understands, I had to rent this car.

01:48:04.000 There was no choice.

01:48:05.000 I don't want people to think I lost my mind.

01:48:06.000 Elad said the same thing?

01:48:07.000 Literally, the only car that they had, it was a nightmare.

01:48:07.000 Yeah.

01:48:09.000 Elad said he waited around for a different car to come in, and after a while had to be like, okay, I need to get on the road.

01:48:14.000 I guess I'll take the EV.

01:48:15.000 What rental agency was it?

01:48:17.000 That's what Elad said, wasn't it?

01:48:19.000 And these are both in New York, which I think is funny.

01:48:21.000 I'm being serious, there's some sort of conspiracy afoot.

01:48:23.000 Yeah. Two minor questions.

01:48:25.000 One, can you charge one Tesla with another Tesla?

01:48:27.000 So a Cybertruck can charge a car.

01:48:29.000 Oh, that's hardcore.

01:48:31.000 I'll stress it again. You can charge your other Teslas off of Cybertruck.

01:48:34.000 It's crazy.

01:48:36.000 And apparently, Cybertruck has a 40 amp outlet in the back.

01:48:39.000 This is nuts.

01:48:41.000 It's got two power outlets and a 40 amp, meaning you can power your fifth wheel, you can power your RV, and it can power your home, I think they said, for like three days.

01:48:49.000 Can you store a second battery in the Cybertruck so you can swap it out?

01:48:53.000 That I don't know.

01:48:54.000 That'd be cool.

01:48:55.000 But it's kind of funny, because like...

01:48:57.000 People, you know, obviously, I'm not going to use Cybertruck to haul a fifth wheel trailer across the country.

01:49:03.000 And so when people are like, why would you buy a truck?

01:49:05.000 Why would you get a Cybertruck?

01:49:06.000 And I'm like, because sometimes we go to Home Depot, like, people have pickup trucks, I don't know, like, is every pickup truck hauling heavy machinery across the country?

01:49:15.000 No, we get a pickup truck, because sometimes I gotta go to an air conditioner.

01:49:18.000 You know, we go to Best Buy and get an air conditioner, and Cybertruck is just another truck, I guess.

01:49:22.000 Bulletproof, that's pretty cool.

01:49:23.000 Honestly, that's the only reason.

01:49:24.000 It's so cool.

01:49:25.000 But the windows are not.

01:49:26.000 There's a version of Cybertruck I heard that the windows don't roll down because they're bulletproof, but most of those aren't.

01:49:31.000 They're super strong windows.

01:49:33.000 The side paneling, unlike most cars, are not bulletproof.

01:49:36.000 People think they are because of movies, and they're not.

01:49:38.000 Cybertruck is.

01:49:39.000 I am not going to shoot Cybertruck.

01:49:40.000 That's not going to happen.

01:49:41.000 You call it Cybertruck?

01:49:42.000 You've named it?

01:49:43.000 It's called Cybertruck.

01:49:44.000 I didn't even call it The Cybertruck, I just called it Cybertruck.

01:49:46.000 You're not going to shoot it?

01:49:48.000 No!

01:49:49.000 Maybe one day?

01:49:50.000 Alright, super chatty.

01:49:50.000 Never gonna happen.

01:49:51.000 Let's grab some more.

01:49:53.000 ZK Mudd says, Brandon, I just submitted my video for the 10k challenge.

01:49:56.000 Be on the lookout for art and demoralization.

01:49:59.000 My walkaway story.

01:50:01.000 10k would be a lifesaver in this Kamala-conomy.

01:50:04.000 Kamala-conomy?

01:50:05.000 There you go.

01:50:06.000 How are you judging the contest?

01:50:08.000 So we actually have a group of judges that are going to be watching every single video.

01:50:13.000 I'll be one of them along with various people on my team.

01:50:17.000 And between now and I think around October 15th, we're going to choose the top 10 when we get to the top.

01:50:22.000 First of all, I want to say to the first 50 people who enter the contest automatically get $100.

01:50:27.000 So you get 100 bucks.

01:50:29.000 Literally just for being one of the first 50 people to enter.

01:50:32.000 But we'll narrow it down to the top 10.

01:50:34.000 And then between the 15th and somewhere around November 1st, we're going to narrow it down to the top three.

01:50:38.000 Third place gets 500 bucks.

01:50:40.000 Second place gets 1,000.

01:50:41.000 First place gets $10,000.

01:50:42.000 And people can enter by going to walkawaychallenge.com.

01:50:46.000 What's the parameter for the competition?

01:50:49.000 So there's a lot and they need to read all the rules before they submit.

01:50:53.000 So go to walkawaychallenge.com and read all the rules.

01:50:55.000 But basically just you have to tell a truthful and heartfelt walkaway story.

01:50:58.000 It doesn't matter to us.

01:51:00.000 You can do it.

01:51:01.000 I recommend like five minutes.

01:51:02.000 If you go too long, it's, you know, but I recommend submitting like a five minute video.

01:51:06.000 You have to enter, you have to submit it to our Facebook group, our app Walkaway Social and on X. And you have to use the hashtag walkaway and the hashtag walkawaychallenge when you post and fill out your submission form.

01:51:18.000 Are you taking into account the quality of the actual video content?

01:51:21.000 Like if they have a swirling camera kind of on a track and stuff like that with super 8K?

01:51:26.000 Yeah, you're asking all the right questions.

01:51:27.000 So we're awarding some bonus points for creativity.

01:51:33.000 But the main thing is that we don't want anyone to feel like they don't have a chance.

01:51:36.000 The most important criteria is that your story be true.

01:51:39.000 And that you speak from the heart.

01:51:41.000 But if somebody does, you know, some amazing creative production, obviously, we're going to, you know, give some credit for that.

01:51:47.000 And we'll give a few points as well for engagement.

01:51:49.000 You know, if people are posting on TikTok and Truth Social, and you know, if they're spreading their own video, we give bonuses for that as well.

01:51:58.000 But the first 50 people get 100 bucks to go to walkwaychallenge.com.

01:52:01.000 That's pretty cool.

01:52:02.000 All right, Eagle Union 1776 says, Moon Lord?

01:52:05.000 Well, greetings, Moon Lord, and why doesn't that also known as surprise me at all?

01:52:11.000 What does that mean?

01:52:11.000 Interesting.

01:52:12.000 They call me Moon Lord partially because I'm cosmic.

01:52:15.000 They used to call my dad Cosmo when he worked at the fire department, I guess because he was out there.

01:52:19.000 And I wonder if when I'm controlling the weather, I'm actually sending energy through the moon, refracting it back onto Earth.

01:52:23.000 You're not, but let's read the next one.

01:52:25.000 Chris says, I work in the hydrogen industry.

01:52:27.000 Steam methane reforming is our go-to globally, but all Biden policies incentivize electrolysis, a terribly inefficient method.

01:52:35.000 Steam methane reforming.

01:52:36.000 Uh-oh, he's got a new one.

01:52:38.000 We're going to have to make Ian's steam methane dream.

01:52:42.000 Sounds like a latte.

01:52:44.000 It does!

01:52:45.000 I think a lot of Biden's environmental policy is sort of in name only, you know?

01:52:49.000 It's to be like, I am the most green president of all time.

01:52:52.000 I also feel like Kamala has sort of dropped this.

01:52:54.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:52:54.000 Maybe she's about to bring it back.

01:52:56.000 But he kind of pushed that he was going to be this environmental champion.

01:53:00.000 And I just don't hear her talking about it.

01:53:02.000 Although she doesn't talk about that much, to be fair.

01:53:04.000 She's been talking about clean energy a lot, when she's been like dancing around policies.

01:53:08.000 She's been throwing out some buzzwords, you know.

01:53:10.000 No tax on tip and clean energy.

01:53:12.000 Dalimar says, about the unrealized gains, there goes the startup culture and stock IPOs where the founders keep control. 0.98

01:53:19.000 These morons keep screaming net worth and they don't understand stock price axed, number shares owned. 0.99

01:53:26.000 Yep. 1.00

01:53:28.000 It's an impossibility.

01:53:30.000 Elon Musk owns a bunch of shares in Tesla.

01:53:32.000 He can't sell.

01:53:33.000 Oh no, Bezos is a better example.

01:53:34.000 Bezos owns tons of Amazon.

01:53:37.000 It's most of his net worth.

01:53:38.000 He legally can't sell shares.

01:53:39.000 He's bound by the corporate articles because if he were to dump shares, it would destroy the company.

01:53:45.000 So he's restricted on when he gets to sell based on the performance of the company.

01:53:48.000 Same thing with Elon.

01:53:49.000 If they came to him and said, you own $100 billion in shares, you owe us, like, and they went up a billion dollars, you owe us $250 million.

01:53:59.000 He's gonna go, okay, well, where do I get that?

01:54:01.000 And like, you figure it out.

01:54:02.000 Sell stock.

01:54:03.000 And he goes, I legally can't sell the stock because of the Articles of Incorporation restricting me from when I can and cannot sell.

01:54:09.000 And then they go, then we're gonna seize the stock.

01:54:10.000 Okay, then Amazon disappears. 1.00

01:54:12.000 Every shareholder panics, sells everything they can, and gets out of the company because it's going under. 1.00

01:54:17.000 The idea is stupid and makes no sense. 1.00

01:54:21.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats. 0.99

01:54:23.000 Jeff Dapkin says, Grandpa built a house north of San Diego, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath for $75K in 1975.

01:54:30.000 We sold it after his passing for $1.025 million last year.

01:54:34.000 Wow, where was that?

01:54:36.000 My step-grandmother could never afford this kind of tax. 0.89

01:54:36.000 San Diego. 0.89

01:54:40.000 California is where I've heard a lot of those stories.

01:54:40.000 Yeah.

01:54:42.000 I guess.

01:54:43.000 His grandparents bought it for $6,000.

01:54:45.000 It sells for $2 million.

01:54:47.000 Here's an idea for the movie Up.

01:54:49.000 You know what's funny?

01:54:50.000 So have you guys seen Up?

01:54:52.000 No.

01:54:52.000 You've never seen it?

01:54:53.000 I know of it.

01:54:54.000 It's a cartoon where the guy attaches balloons to his house.

01:54:56.000 Animation?

01:54:57.000 Yeah.

01:54:57.000 So it's him and this young girl that grew up together.

01:55:02.000 They always want to travel.

01:55:02.000 They get married.

01:55:03.000 They never do.

01:55:04.000 She ends up dying.

01:55:05.000 He's a widower and he lives in this house.

01:55:07.000 And developers come and say, we want to buy the land.

01:55:09.000 He goes, I'm not selling it.

01:55:10.000 And then over time, developments build up all around his house and it becomes a big city.

01:55:15.000 And then his little rinky-dink property that he won't sell and the developers are like, we want this property so we can finish developing.

01:55:22.000 And so something happens and then they accuse him of being like infirm and they want to take his house from him.

01:55:27.000 It would have been much simpler than that.

01:55:29.000 They should have had a tax assessor show up and say, You know, Mr. Whatever-Your-Name-Is, this property's worth $50 million.

01:55:36.000 You've been offered over and over again $50 million.

01:55:38.000 You won't accept it.

01:55:39.000 You owe us $500,000 per month, you know, or you owe us, you know, I don't know, like $500,000 for the year on property taxes.

01:55:48.000 And he goes, I can't afford that.

01:55:49.000 And they go, then we suggest you sell.

01:55:51.000 And then he puts the balloons and flies away in the house, which gave him the land anyway, by the way.

01:55:55.000 When he put the balloons in the house and flew away, they got the land they wanted.

01:55:59.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:00.000 I think part of it was the house itself, right?

01:56:02.000 Like, there's a whole montage where they're, like, moving in and fixing it up and whatever else.

01:56:06.000 Like, he doesn't want them to destroy this house that reminds him of Slate White. 0.76

01:56:08.000 Sure.

01:56:08.000 And he could have said, I'll tell you what, you can have the land, but relocate the house to another field, like an open field area.

01:56:16.000 They would have been like, done.

01:56:18.000 How much do you want?

01:56:18.000 We'll give you a million dollars and relocate the house for you.

01:56:21.000 He was like, fine.

01:56:22.000 I wasn't thinking creatively.

01:56:24.000 That is so true.

01:56:25.000 He put a bunch of balloons in his house, flew away, and the developers went, problem solved.

01:56:29.000 We didn't even have to pay for demo!

01:56:30.000 Did they pay for the balloons at least?

01:56:33.000 No, he did it all himself.

01:56:34.000 You know, they demoed my grandma's house like that. 1.00

01:56:36.000 They wanted her land because they're building the natatorium and expanding the city hall, and she wouldn't sell. 0.99

01:56:40.000 She's like, over my dead body.

01:56:41.000 When I'm dead, you can have it.

01:56:43.000 She probably just should have sold it because when she died, they took it cheap.

01:56:46.000 Let's grab some more.

01:56:47.000 We got Vito says, Ian, you say you would be alienating people if you said you were voting Trump.

01:56:51.000 Shouldn't you, with the platform you have, be a leader to, uh, should you have to be a leader to show even a guy like you sees voting Trump is the clear way forward that it will help more?

01:57:01.000 I think that the clear way forward is fixing the economy.

01:57:04.000 I don't really care who the president is.

01:57:05.000 I just want- You think Kamala is going to fix the economy? 0.89

01:57:08.000 I don't think any of these presidents can do it.

01:57:09.000 They need people like us that can do it.

01:57:11.000 They need the private sector to really come together and organize.

01:57:14.000 That's really where I'm focused, is creating art and building technology.

01:57:18.000 So I don't want to get too embroiled in the politics because it can get pretty divisive.

01:57:22.000 You think Kamala will not make the economy worse?

01:57:26.000 Man, it's like, what do we do?

01:57:28.000 If she takes an eye at what we're doing and she's like, ooh, I like that, let's install that, then maybe she'll- She's talking about a tax system that makes literally no sense and will just rip the economy to shreds. 0.99

01:57:38.000 I mean, I'm not a big fan of that girl.

01:57:39.000 I don't think she has any command experience.

01:57:41.000 I'm not gonna vote for her.

01:57:42.000 In 2019, Donald Trump—like, I'm not gonna blame Trump or Biden for COVID.

01:57:45.000 COVID happened, and you can argue Fauci, you can argue whatever you want.

01:57:48.000 I'm gonna say, moot point.

01:57:50.000 Biden had the beginning—I'm sorry, Trump had the beginning, Biden had the end.

01:57:53.000 Let's just say, fine, on that regard. 0.85

01:57:56.000 We're several years after COVID, the economy's still trash.

01:57:59.000 And they're going, but the metrics prove otherwise.

01:58:01.000 Yeah, go ask a father how he's affording groceries for his kids, and he's gonna complain.

01:58:04.000 Tell me why everyone feels that way.

01:58:06.000 Your stats mean nothing.

01:58:07.000 I care about the sentiment of the people.

01:58:08.000 Yep.

01:58:08.000 Before COVID, the best numbers of our lives.

01:58:11.000 Unemployment was low.

01:58:12.000 Youth unemployment was low.

01:58:13.000 Minority unemployment was low.

01:58:14.000 Salaries were up.

01:58:15.000 Wages were up.

01:58:16.000 Inflation was down.

01:58:18.000 That's all I look at.

01:58:19.000 So that means, the evidence suggests, a Trump presidency would improve the economy, and we know for a fact that the Harris administration has done nothing.

01:58:27.000 In the past three years, the economy has only gotten worse.

01:58:29.000 It's $35.17 trillion in debt.

01:58:32.000 That's insurmountable.

01:58:33.000 Well, it's not insurmountable.

01:58:35.000 We just need to reconfigure the way we're using fuel.

01:58:37.000 So, I mean, it's a simple equation.

01:58:39.000 Kamala is leading the government right now, and the economy is bad.

01:58:43.000 I also think I'm in it.

01:58:44.000 Like, I'm not looking at it from a distance anymore, like a kid watching TV and being like, I want that guy to do it.

01:58:48.000 I actually know Don Trump Jr.

01:58:49.000 I know Lara Trump.

01:58:50.000 I know Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don's wife.

01:58:51.000 We hope.

01:58:52.000 I also think I'm in it.

01:58:53.000 Like I'm not looking at it from a distance anymore.

01:58:55.000 Like a kid watching TV and being like, I want that guy to do it.

01:58:58.000 I actually know Don Trump Jr.

01:59:00.000 I know Laura Trump.

01:59:01.000 I know Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don's wife.

01:59:04.000 I know them.

01:59:04.000 And I feel like I could really help them as people.

01:59:07.000 If Kamala contacted me and was like, please, be our Director of Energy, I would help her.

01:59:11.000 I will do whatever it takes to help this country.

01:59:25.000 That's so creepy to me.

01:59:26.000 When you have a chemically induced abortion, it's not like popping an ibuprofen, right?

01:59:33.000 There are serious consequences, there are side effects, and this is just being treated like it's stepping into the bus to get your temporary tattoo at the DNC carnival.

01:59:41.000 It's so creepy.

01:59:41.000 You said Vasectomy Bus 2?

01:59:43.000 I think it's all in one.

01:59:45.000 A lot of people are pointing out Trump was on Theo Von, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, I look forward to seeing it.

01:59:50.000 I want to get Pete Buttigieg.

01:59:51.000 He'd be great.

01:59:52.000 Yeah, I watched him.

01:59:54.000 I think he might actually do it.

01:59:55.000 I saw him on Fox & Friends, and I don't think they did a particularly good job at talking to Pete Buttigieg.

02:00:01.000 I think it was too adversarial.

02:00:02.000 They were talking past each other, and Pete Buttigieg made a lot of points that clearly So one of the points made was, crime went up under Trump.

02:00:12.000 Buttigieg goes, I don't think your viewers know that crime was up under Trump.

02:00:16.000 And the response from Fox was like, deflection or whatever.

02:00:19.000 And I'm just like, my response is, of course, absolutely.

02:00:23.000 Pete, that's a really great point.

02:00:24.000 And during this time period, when we were all sitting here talking about the news and going through these podcasts, complaining about this, as you mentioned, the crime went up.

02:00:33.000 We were wondering why it was Democrats kept saying defund the police, and why Kamala Harris was offering a bail fund on her Twitter account to people who had just rioted, and the worst riots.

02:00:42.000 So yes, while Trump was president, crime went up, and we begged Trump, like, you must have wanted Pete to invoke the Insurrection Act, send in the National Guard, because that's his federal authority, I don't know what else you expect him to do, as the president, to deal with governor's issues.

02:00:55.000 But yes, I completely agree.

02:00:57.000 When the crime went up, Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act, sent in the National Guard, and shut down those leftist riots.

02:01:03.000 Yep.

02:01:04.000 That's not the response Fox gives him though.

02:01:05.000 So I welcome Pete Buttigieg to come on and say that to me.

02:01:07.000 Because I'll have that conversation with him and say, you are correct.

02:01:10.000 And if he wants to talk about inflation went up under Trump and jobs were lost, I'm like, you're talking about COVID?

02:01:14.000 Because we can argue about Biden and Trump under COVID and who did and what didn't.

02:01:17.000 I think it's a moot point.
