00:02:22.000 Riots outside an ice facility in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:02:26.000 Riders scream that people should shoot ice.
00:02:29.000 Ice responds with tear gas, pepper spray, vehicles are swarmed.
00:02:34.000 It's not the most egregious thing we've seen, but following the several uh the terror attacks we've seen against the ice facilities, it is pretty shocking that the federal government is allowing this degree of violence to escalate.
00:02:45.000 So we'll go through uh all everything that we're seeing there.
00:02:47.000 We then got a couple of really crazy stories.
00:02:49.000 Apparently, there's a superintendent in Iowa who is an illegal immigrant who has been arrested.
00:02:54.000 He was working the school system there, which is very shocking and confusing.
00:02:58.000 And uh, oh boy, it gets uh it gets crazier.
00:03:02.000 Donald Trump is discussing whether or not they should begin to drone strike inside Venezuela.
00:03:09.000 So the the external uh let's just say complications of war are are pretty alarming.
00:03:14.000 Alongside what we're seeing now internally, the federal government has ordered ice ice uh agents not to remove their masks, not to abide by California law, which is setting up a federal and state clash.
00:03:25.000 Many people have suggested Gavin Newsom will just back down.
00:03:29.000 But all of this has asking questions about where we currently are at as a country.
00:03:33.000 Russia is threatening to go to war with us, saying that NATO already declared war on them and not to shoot down their planes, which have violated NATO airspace, including ours, reportedly.
00:03:42.000 Trump talking about bombing Venezuela with drones.
00:03:45.000 All I can say is holy crap.

00:05:21.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Christian Maxwell.
00:05:24.000 Hi, pleasure to be here with you guys.
00:05:26.000 This is gonna be great.
00:05:27.000 Well, who are you?
00:05:27.000 What do you do?
00:05:28.000 So I'm actually my name is Christian Maxwell.
00:05:30.000 I'm running for Congress in Illinois.
00:05:31.000 Um, running as a Republican, which is what people do not do.
00:05:34.000 They usually tell you to sneak in as an independent and just then do all the Republican things.
00:05:39.000 Uh, but I definitely decided to run as a loud and proud Republican because it's how I how I live.
00:05:44.000 How's the reaction though?
00:05:45.000 Uh Chicago has been ruled by Democrats for a hundred years.
00:05:48.000 It has, but if you look at Illinois and how it voted during that last election, it's a red state.
00:05:51.000 It is a red state with a big blue dot.
00:05:54.000 Um, so I think that right now Illinois's at a precipice where they understand that they cannot go, they can't go another four years, another two years with all these blue representatives who truly don't care about the future of the state.
00:06:04.000 Um so it's it's really time for a change to happen.
00:06:07.000 It is it is pretty funny, actually.
00:06:09.000 This happens periodically where we'll book a guest and it will be weird news timing because the riots from ice are happening just outside of Chicago.
00:06:16.000 Literally.
00:06:16.000 And there's a big conversation about what the federal law enforcement should should be doing, National Guard.
00:06:20.000 So uh this is perfect.
00:06:21.000 We'll talk uh uh about this.
00:06:22.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:06:23.000 We got Ian hanging out.
00:06:24.000 Everybody, good to be here.
00:06:25.000 Ian Crosslin uh in the house.
00:06:27.000 I'm let's just get to it.
00:06:28.000 Hey, Phil.
00:06:30.000 I was gonna describe myself if there's too many words.
00:06:32.000 Yeah, yeah, you just it it's it's too hard to encapsulate and just the one seven sentence.
00:06:37.000 Hello, everybody.
00:06:38.000 My name is Philibante.
00:06:39.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All the Urmans.
00:06:40.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
00:06:42.000 Let's get into it.
00:06:43.000 Here's the story from Axios Chicago, Broadview ICE protests grow despite fence and gas.
00:06:50.000 And apparently it is ongoing.
00:06:52.000 Now, the crazy thing about this is that we've got these videos.
00:06:55.000 The first thing I want to I want to play for you, and you know, ear mouse for the kids.
00:06:58.000 This is this may be uh a bit vulgar, but I think the context is important.
00:07:01.000 It's from Blaze Media.
00:07:02.000 This is in the early stages of the protest.
00:07:04.000 Listen to this.
00:07:10.000 Shoot ice the fuckers, shoot the fuckers.
00:07:15.000 Yeah.
00:07:18.000 Okay, I think you heard that already.
00:07:20.000 Now that's important context when you begin to look at where we're going from there with this video from BG on the scene.
00:07:30.000 Thank you.
00:07:34.000 So for those that are just listening, you have a crowd of people blocking and obstructing an ICE vehicle.
00:07:41.000 Savannah Hernandez tweets is a serious failure on behalf of the Trump administration, and the fact that ICE vehicles are still being mobbed and nothing is being done about it is quite frankly embarrassing.
00:07:49.000 ICE agents were just shot at and almost killed, and the admin continues to allow this.
00:07:54.000 We have this video from Nick Sorter.
00:07:56.000 This is a Fox News report.
00:07:57.000 Just a second, but we want to go back to the protests at the Broadview uh ICE facility in Illinois that uh Mike Tobin was reporting on all morning.
00:08:05.000 You've got some breaking news on that.
00:08:06.000 Yeah, we have about 200 protesters there on the ground.
00:08:09.000 We actually had our law enforcement just confiscate a firearm from one of these protesters, or really rioters are what they are, as they're obstructing uh law enforcement vehicles from being able to enter that facility.
00:08:21.000 And John, this is just two days after we saw that vicious, disgusting attack on our law enforcement facility down in Dallas, where one detainee was killed and two are currently in serious condition.
00:08:32.000 And that psychopath opened fire indiscriminately on our ICE law enforcement on the facility and on the van.
00:08:38.000 And the fact that there is now a firearm or there was a firearm there in Chicago is very alarming.
00:08:44.000 I think people need to understand as well.
00:08:45.000 The vehicles in the uh ice tear attack were not buses.
00:08:49.000 They were white vans.
00:08:50.000 It's my understanding.
00:08:52.000 And so the individual who fired on them did not know it is it seems that they were pretty tiny transport, and it seems that they were just shooting on ice vehicles thinking They were targeting law enforcement, ended up pinging the de hitting these detainees.
00:09:03.000 Um, we're at a rock in a hard place.
00:09:06.000 Can we really say that this is a protest?
00:09:09.000 We we we are we are well past the point where we can tolerate people wearing masks, bringing weapons, and physically attacking law enforcement vehicles when we are dealing with this degree of terrorism.
00:09:21.000 So perhaps five, ten years ago, we could tolerate that this is not free speech.
00:09:27.000 No, it's a riot, but do we want to escalate by arresting?
00:09:31.000 And the cops often would say, let's just push through it.
00:09:34.000 But now that it's gotten to the level where we've had, I think, three terror attacks on ICE facilities in three months.
00:09:40.000 This is no longer a matter of free speech.
00:09:43.000 Technically, 10 years ago, this is still illegal.
00:09:46.000 You want to protest, you want to hold signs outside the facility, that's free speech.
00:09:50.000 When you start physically attacking their vehicles to any degree after these terror attacks happen, I I I gotta say, to Sav's point, why isn't Trump admin just saying lock them up?
00:10:00.000 I agree.
00:10:01.000 I wholeheartedly think these people should be locked up.
00:10:04.000 They are obstructing uh these officials and during their work.
00:10:06.000 And when you're tampering with uh people who are doing uh carrying out missions like this, like you really are getting involved in something that's very dangerous.
00:10:13.000 They're trying to trying to arrest somebody in general is a really precarious situation.
00:10:18.000 Having someone hurling insults and getting very close to you with phones trying to divulge your identity is not what those men signed up for.
00:10:26.000 ICE agents, law enforcement officials, they deserve to go home and to be safe.
00:10:30.000 They are law abiding citizens.
00:10:32.000 Why are we not on the side of our law abiding citizens who are doing their job trying to protect our country?
00:10:38.000 I don't understand.
00:10:39.000 So to your point, Tim, like the the fact that this has been going on for a decade or more is actually why we've gotten to the point where there are actual murders at you know happening at ICE ICE facilities.
00:10:55.000 These types of behaviors need to be shut down as soon as they happen.
00:11:01.000 So that way, people like the people that are amassed outside of this particular facility don't think that they can get away with saying things like arrest ice, shoot ice, etc.
00:11:12.000 This they should all get arrested.
00:11:13.000 Like anyone out there, they should they should go and get the local law enforcement should come and they should wrap them all up and they should all get charged.
00:11:22.000 I don't know what the charges exactly would be, but they should all get you know inhibiting the the lawful uh execution of law enforcement.
00:11:29.000 I mean, if you're touching them, then give them for us all in a law off.
00:11:32.000 Every single law that they've broken, and it's all on video because they've got cameras.
00:11:35.000 Every law they've broken, they should be prosecuted for.
00:11:38.000 I agree.
00:11:39.000 And this should this should be that should happen at every ICE facility everywhere across the country.
00:11:46.000 It should be not, it should be such a notice put out that people are like, you know what, it's not worth the risk.
00:11:50.000 And they're meeting they meet before they do this, they don't just pop up.
00:11:54.000 They had a strategy meeting and they decided that this was worth the risk.
00:11:56.000 You know why they said it was worth the risk?
00:11:58.000 Because Pritzker told them.
00:11:59.000 Yeah.
00:11:59.000 And Brandon Johnson told them, we are gonna push back.
00:12:02.000 They're literally when Prisker told um did that speech and said conservatives should know no peace.
00:12:07.000 He laid the groundwork for what happened.
00:12:09.000 Oh my oh yeah, pull up the speech.
00:12:10.000 He literally said they should be.
00:12:13.000 He said they should know no peace.
00:12:15.000 He said it in a speech.
00:12:16.000 I think he was he was on the East Coast when he said it, and it enraged Illinois.
00:12:19.000 Yeah.
00:12:20.000 Because it was basically like a like a kind of like out of war message.
00:12:23.000 April, the Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
00:12:26.000 That was that lay the groundwork for what we saw happen to Charlie Kirk.
00:12:28.000 He's he went on a tour telling people to wage war against conservatives and Republicans.
00:12:34.000 I've been saying this for the past couple days.
00:12:36.000 If there are any politicians out there, whether they be state level or they be federal level, if you truly believe that this is that the that it is time for the temperature to come down in the United States, what you need to do is get out in front of a uh a camera somewhere and say, we need people to allow ICE to do their job.
00:12:56.000 Yes.
00:12:56.000 That is a simple, basic, easy to do, low bar, real easy kind of thing to ask for.
00:13:05.000 And it's every single person that's an elected official should say we want law enforcement to be able to safely do their job.
00:13:13.000 And if you can't do that, then you don't actually want you don't want de-escalation, you want more escalation, you want more.
00:13:19.000 Mobilization for disruption.
00:13:22.000 But I am now.
00:13:23.000 Yes.
00:13:23.000 I'm going to start it over.
00:13:25.000 applause Thank you.
00:13:29.000 Never before in my life have I called for mass protests for mobilization for disruption.
00:13:36.000 But I am now.
00:13:37.000 Yes.
00:13:38.000 Thank you.
00:13:43.000 It was evil.
00:13:43.000 Whoops.
00:13:44.000 Just real quick.
00:13:45.000 For disruption.
00:13:46.000 I'm wondering why, like, not a single Republican has had anything like that.
00:13:50.000 Ever.
00:13:50.000 Never.
00:13:51.000 Interruption.
00:13:51.000 No, we don't wage one.
00:13:52.000 But I am now.
00:13:53.000 I mean, I was in the mass non-compliance during the COVID mandates.
00:13:56.000 Yeah.
00:13:57.000 I said I would I would these Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
00:14:05.000 They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have.
00:14:11.000 We must castigate them on the soap box and then punish them at the ballot box.
00:14:17.000 He's forgetting one part of that quote.
00:14:20.000 When he said the the soapbox and the ballot box, there's a there's an implied statement because the rest of that poem is or phrase or whatever you want to call it.
00:14:30.000 Do you know what it is, Ian?
00:14:31.000 No.
00:14:32.000 I've heard it before, though.
00:14:33.000 It's castigate them at the soap box, you beat them at the ballot box, or you load the cartridge box.
00:14:39.000 Oh.
00:14:40.000 Right.
00:14:40.000 But he even goes on to say, basically risk life and limb.
00:14:44.000 Like this piece was really toxic.
00:14:46.000 It was really bad.
00:14:47.000 So tonight I'm telling you what I'm willing to do, and that's fight for our democracy, for our liberty, for the opportunity for all of our people to live lives that are meaningful and free.
00:15:01.000 And I see around me tonight a room full of people who are ready to do the same.
00:15:06.000 So I have one question for all of you.
00:15:08.000 Granted, staters.
00:15:10.000 Are you ready for the fight?
00:15:16.000 The four boxes of liberty it's called.
00:15:17.000 Yeah.
00:15:18.000 And it's the soapbox, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
00:15:22.000 Wow.
00:15:23.000 There's a that's what they're right.
00:15:24.000 They're calling for his um for him to be impeached right now in whatever it's called in Illinois.
00:15:29.000 Will he go to prison like the rest of the governors?
00:15:31.000 He needs to.
00:15:31.000 I mean, it's it's like a right of passage in Illinois if you're serving office.
00:15:35.000 You end up going to prison for a liberal.
00:15:36.000 You're not really a governor if you don't go to prison.
00:15:39.000 Are you really a hometown local born and bred if you don't go to prison after serving office?
00:15:44.000 I mean, it has to be a good thing.
00:15:44.000 You at least have to be indicted, right?
00:15:46.000 Yeah.
00:15:46.000 No, yeah.
00:15:47.000 He needs to, he laid the groundwork for a lot of the this, this violence.
00:15:51.000 He gave people permission to be as violent, to lean into their violent delights.
00:15:56.000 And he made it where it went from us from people debating to now they're like, you know what?
00:15:59.000 I don't care if I get hit by a car.
00:16:01.000 I don't care if I have to all of the proper responses to that kind of rhetoric are TOS violations.
00:16:08.000 This is actually crazy.
00:16:09.000 Let me read.
00:16:09.000 I I think many people are familiar with the four boxes of liberty.
00:16:12.000 Wikipedia says the soap box represents exercising one's right to freedom of speech to influence politics to defend liberty.
00:16:17.000 The ballot box represents exercising one's right to vote to elect a government to defend liberty.
00:16:22.000 The jury box represents jury nullification to refuse to convict someone being prosecuted for breaking an unjust law that decreases liberty in the cartridge box represents exercising one's right to keep and bear arms to oppose in armed conflict a tyrannical government.
00:16:38.000 The four boxes represent increasingly forceful methods of political action.
00:16:42.000 We've already seen all of them.
00:16:44.000 They have they they have marched to the streets, they have voted, they lost the speech issue to the culture, they have lost the voting issue.
00:16:52.000 Now what are we seeing?
00:16:53.000 They are not prosecuting the criminals.
00:16:55.000 They're letting them go.
00:16:57.000 Yes.
00:16:57.000 And we've seen them shoot and kill.
00:16:59.000 Yeah.
00:17:00.000 More than one person.
00:17:01.000 I love the jury nullification opportunity.
00:17:03.000 I'd like to see it in imposed more righteously once in a while in the United States.
00:17:07.000 But the the Bricksker saying fight.
00:17:10.000 I mean, that rhetoric is very dangerous.
00:17:12.000 It's yes.
00:17:13.000 Have you noticed?
00:17:14.000 I don't I don't mind the word fight.
00:17:15.000 Because it means like two kids fighting in their in their name in their living room, you know, like two brothers.
00:17:19.000 You're fighting.
00:17:20.000 You're arguing or pushing.
00:17:21.000 It is so benign compared to the other things that they've said.
00:17:25.000 Like fight.
00:17:26.000 You can you can fight in an ar an argument is a fight.
00:17:30.000 You can you when you get into an argument with your significant other, you say, Well, I got into a fight with my girlfriend, right?
00:17:35.000 You didn't beat her up.
00:17:36.000 You can do a fight with her.
00:17:37.000 And people understand that.
00:17:39.000 But there are other things that he said that are far more egregious than fight.
00:17:43.000 Fight is fight is is is the very basic bottom of the barrel kind of thing you said.
00:17:47.000 That's that's that's inconsequential.
00:17:50.000 I think it's lazy though, because like you get into a fire fight, you know, like troops can get in the fire.
00:17:54.000 But a gunfight is different than an argument.
00:17:56.000 She left it open to interpretation on purpose, though, because for a person who's toxic in the mind, a person who's mentally unhealthy, when they hear a fight, they're like, you know what?
00:18:02.000 We've talked about it long enough.
00:18:03.000 Like you said.
00:18:04.000 So what are they gonna think about, you know, when it comes to that?
00:18:07.000 Yeah, but Trump said you gotta fight like hell.
00:18:09.000 You know, and they they claim that was insurrection for January 6th.
00:18:12.000 I the The word fight is typical political rhetoric for decades, even in times of peace.
00:18:16.000 So I try to be careful with that one.
00:18:18.000 The bigger concern is when he starts invoking the boxes of liberty.
00:18:21.000 Yeah.
00:18:21.000 Because the implied statement there is if this does not work, you know what I'm asking you to do.
00:18:27.000 And to be honest with you, in New Hampshire, that kind of rhetoric has it it's it's it's far more impactful in a place like New Hampshire because New Hampshire takes their liberty very seriously.
00:18:38.000 The people that he was actually talking to understood that in a different way than say the people of California would.
00:18:43.000 Well, there was that uh that that dude who threatened to kill the governor, right?
00:18:47.000 Yes, was working on making bombs or whatever in New Hampshire.
00:18:50.000 So uh I do think it's fair to say the rhetoric does need to be toned down across the board.
00:18:55.000 I don't care, I'm not gonna play any partisan games.
00:18:57.000 But the problem is, seemingly the right has no problem with doing it.
00:19:01.000 Like I I've made videos where I said I don't care if on the left on the right, everybody should tone it down.
00:19:05.000 We don't want violence, cooler heads must prevail.
00:19:07.000 And then you look at what the left is saying and they're escalating.
00:19:11.000 You said if it's at the top of the segment that it's rocking a hard place.
00:19:15.000 And I think it is because what what from that other perspective like why are they aggressively getting in the way of why are they beating on cars of ice?
00:19:23.000 They've people in those cities often and sometimes think that my friends are now being taken away from me.
00:19:28.000 And they may be here legally for seven years, but they're my friends.
00:19:32.000 No, bro.
00:19:32.000 What other choice do I have?
00:19:34.000 No.
00:19:35.000 They don't know these people.
00:19:36.000 Sometimes they were real people who have been there.
00:19:38.000 A really great example is um I hope it's Ben Bankis, right?
00:19:41.000 That's the comedian we had on.
00:19:42.000 I was watching one of his segment one of his uh Instagram clips, and he was talking about he was doing a bit about ice, and a heckler yells you the U.S. citizen are getting deported.
00:19:54.000 He's he's he's only deported citizens.
00:19:56.000 And then Ben is like, what citizen?
00:19:59.000 And they're like, the guy from Maryland.
00:20:01.000 The Maryland man.
00:20:02.000 And he and he says that was a green card holder with a bunch of crimes, and they're like, no, he did nothing wrong, petty offenses.
00:20:08.000 Did you see that that guy actually had a record for getting he got detained or put over by an officer and he was actually trafficking other men?
00:20:12.000 Yeah, criminally charged for getting smuggling.
00:20:14.000 He's tracking.
00:20:15.000 The point is, these people that you're talking about, Ian, have no idea what's going on.
00:20:20.000 They don't look into it.
00:20:21.000 And that's why you can have an individual like you or me with certain like liberal economic views, but we'll be called called right wing because we know the truth.
00:20:31.000 Because we say things like, oh, that guy was from El Salvador and was or was was want was caught smuggling humans, they go, You're lying, you're right wing.
00:20:37.000 I've been trying to wiggle out of this hard place that The Rock is pushing against.
00:20:40.000 And I'm thinking, like, what if IC, what if the government stops targeting anyone that's been here for 12 years and can speak fluent English?
00:20:47.000 Like if they're really integral part of the community and they're well understood.
00:20:51.000 Just because just because they can speak English and they've been here for a long time, doesn't mean they're an injured.
00:20:54.000 A lot of people, most people in the world are almost bilingual.
00:20:56.000 It's just an American thing to only be mono.
00:20:59.000 Let me let me let me play this clip from uh Ben for you guys.
00:21:01.000 This is actually pretty good, and he's a funny guy.
00:21:04.000 Let's load it up.
00:21:05.000 Make sure we get the audio going.
00:21:06.000 People who are citizens.
00:21:07.000 Who are citizens.
00:21:09.000 That's not a person.
00:21:10.000 But that's what they do.
00:21:12.000 Thank you.
00:21:14.000 I think one citizen is the deployment.
00:21:18.000 Besides Alan Generous.
00:21:22.000 She did a self-deport.
00:21:26.000 So I'm curious, which which deported it?
00:21:30.000 Right.
00:21:33.000 So everybody says it's just a Maryland man.
00:21:37.000 It's just a Maryland man's what was his name?
00:21:43.000 He's guilty.
00:21:46.000 If your name's not Jeff, you're gone.
00:21:48.000 But he wasn't a citizen.
00:21:55.000 He was on Greek card.
00:21:56.000 Not even a green card holder.
00:22:01.000 That's insane.
00:22:02.000 I think his wife had a protection order against him.
00:22:05.000 Wow.
00:22:11.000 Lefty gypsy.
00:22:12.000 This is why one day when you're like 45 and single after three abortions, and you look back on this night while living in your bachelor apartment that you can barely afford on a government welfare tax.
00:22:30.000 And you're gonna go, fuck it, okay.
00:22:39.000 That dude's very funny, and that was good.
00:22:41.000 That was good.
00:22:41.000 I don't expect I don't blame a comedian for not knowing anything about Kilmargo Garcia.
00:22:44.000 But the point I the reason I bring this up is how the audience, these this woman was willing to yell at a comedian at a comedy show.
00:22:51.000 First of all, why heckle?
00:22:53.000 Yeah.
00:22:53.000 But she was so sure of herself that she said he was a citizen who got deported and there were petty offenses, petty charges.
00:23:00.000 This guy was was suspected of of smuggling humans, and the feds told the cops to let him go multiple times.
00:23:06.000 He had beaten his wife on more than one occasion, according to their own accusations, and he was from El Salvador, not a citizen, and he had an order of deportation, but he had a protection order to not be deported to that place.
00:23:18.000 And he's still pending deportation now.
00:23:19.000 I think to like Uganda.
00:23:21.000 Yeah.
00:23:21.000 His home country doesn't want him back.
00:23:23.000 Well blame him.
00:23:25.000 I think the argument they're making is he can't go back because of the fear of death or whatever.
00:23:29.000 So the argument from the Trump admin is like, well, then we can send them literally literally anywhere else.
00:23:33.000 But he can't say here.
00:23:34.000 And and this is really funny.
00:23:35.000 The latest update is that apparently his lawyer submitted a fear of death from like just a whole bunch of random countries.
00:23:41.000 So they looked at it and they went.
00:23:44.000 Yeah.
00:23:44.000 That's a good thing.
00:23:44.000 Because they're all like, bro, if that's that if that's a game you want to play, we'll keep playing.
00:23:48.000 Yeah.
00:23:48.000 Look, it I don't care if their home country won't take them, I don't care where they send them.
00:23:53.000 Just send them away.
00:23:54.000 I mean, I mean, the the home country of the of these people, they have the responsibility to allow them in if they've been sent out of their country because they're criminals, that doesn't mean it's our responsibility responsibility to to take them and to let them stay here.
00:24:08.000 And if there is a place where, you know, a third country that's like, man, we don't give a crap, and we can send them there, send them there.
00:24:16.000 Take one off.
00:24:17.000 I don't care if it's Uganda or somewhere in in Africa and some somewhere else in South America, or look, I'm still pro Gitmo.
00:24:24.000 Send them to Gitmo.
00:24:25.000 Here's the thing like this uh having immigration happen like this where there's no checks and balances, it causes real harm.
00:24:31.000 Uh Chicago recently had a measles outbreak.
00:24:34.000 Um they had a measles outbreak at the immigration facilities where these people were living.
00:24:38.000 So as you know, a lot of Venezuelans were coming to um coming to Chicago, and during the time that they were coming from Venezuela, they were actually having a measles outbreak in Venezuela.
00:24:47.000 So here's the thing a lot of these people will get so mad at a person who's like, hey, I don't want to get all the vaccines.
00:24:51.000 But then they'll be like, hey, let people come in here with no checks and balances, no health checks, and bring in diseases that have kind of been eradicated in our country.
00:25:00.000 We're okay with that.
00:25:01.000 But let a mom down in Texas say, Oh, I don't want to vaccine vaccinate my kids, and now that woman is a terrorist and her kids should be taken.
00:25:08.000 Yeah, it's right.
00:25:09.000 But a lady on the street can have her kids strapped to her back all day not going to school and they're spreading measles at facilities, and that's okay.
00:25:16.000 So I think that right now Americans in general are really fatigued with the the lack of just reality that these people are in touch with because it can't be okay for a person to come from a whole other country with diseases that have been eradicated in America, but let a mom, like I said, in Texas or in Illinois say she doesn't want vaccines, and it's like this person is evil, but the other one is not, and it's not problematic and should stay and should not be forced to vaccinate.
00:25:38.000 And can go to school, can go to public schools where teachers can't speak to the kid and the kid can't speak to the teacher because they are actually in CPS schools.
00:25:45.000 Where there was look, I got a question, you know, because I haven't been back in Chicago for any and and and I mean meaningful amount of time, you know, holidays, right?
00:25:52.000 Yeah.
00:25:53.000 But there was this uh story I saw where they wanted to build an an immigration camp in a park, and then it was actually in the black community where they revolted, being like, Don't you dare do this.
00:26:03.000 What happened with that?
00:26:04.000 So one of them was actually in a hotel.
00:26:05.000 You may be talking about the one that was in a hotel, I'm not sure.
00:26:07.000 It could be smaller.
00:26:08.000 Like they were like trying to build something in a park or something.
00:26:10.000 They were investing all over black communities and just taking over things, like I said, like abandoned uh hotels, and they were paying like hundreds of thousands of dollars for these hotels to be converted into migrant shelters.
00:26:20.000 So what you would have is that the police would have to uh patrol much more often around the migrant shelters.
00:26:25.000 You had the fire department coming out nonstop because they would have like seven people in a room um in these shelters, and the city was paying tons of money uh for hotels to be converted for these people, and it was causing a big uptake in crime.
00:26:36.000 So the people actually pushed back in one high park community, Chicago flips rid was a uh big part of it.
00:26:41.000 Um and it really helped for those people to actually get that shelter shut down because they were about to really transform it permanently and make it a part of the community where people have black black Chicagoans, and here's the thing, black Chicagoans have held down the Democratic Party.
00:26:53.000 But they even had to say, hey, what's going on?
00:26:56.000 Because these are diehard High Park res residents who've invested, and you're telling them that now they're gonna be living down the street from a migrant shelter where it's I think the occupancy is supposed to be like 400 people for a hotel, but they were gonna like three or four exit for migrants to be in there, and it's like that's not it's just not safe.
00:27:16.000 Like a lot of times if you if you come to Chicago, it's interesting.
00:27:18.000 So you'll like order DoorDash and it says it's gonna be a lady named Susan dropping off your food, and then a guy who's clearly of like, you know, either Venezuelan or in Salvadoran rolls up on his Vespa, and it's like that's not I'll go I don't even go to the door anymore for my DoorDash because I'm like, it's usually a a man on a woman's account.
00:27:34.000 Yeah, we we we we we we dealt with this, we talked about it too.
00:27:38.000 A car will pull up and it'll say like Mike S for your driver, and then it'll be like some Hispanic guy or whatever, and he'll go, he's my brother.
00:27:45.000 Yeah.
00:27:45.000 And I'm just like, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:27:47.000 And and so now we have a policy of like, get everyone's gotta give IDs.
00:27:51.000 Yeah.
00:27:51.000 So vehicle pulls up and it'll say, like, Sarah, and it's a guy, and we're like, turn around.
00:27:56.000 And they're like, what?
00:27:57.000 And it's like DoorDish has a serious problem with it.
00:28:01.000 It's not safe.
00:28:02.000 And for I mean, for us, in terms of we we like we have very serious security issues.
00:28:06.000 So when strangers pull up saying, Here's the food, please eat it, we're like, nah.
00:28:10.000 That's actually smart.
00:28:11.000 Not gonna eat that food from a strange person who's not listed properly.
00:28:14.000 Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
00:28:15.000 Cause my my assumption is that I think that in Chicago right now, what's happening is that they are basically using DoorDash and all these little, you know, gig economies to just run their it's their new form of economy for these people that they've trafficked to the city and they have them on these accounts and they're just setting up accounts, and that has to be how they're doing it.
00:28:31.000 But the issue right now, like I said, Chicago has been destabilized.
00:28:34.000 That's why you see Mayor Mayor Johnson actually just call for I think CPD to cut their budget by a hundred million dollars.
00:28:39.000 Do you know what Mayor Johnson has been sp Yeah.
00:28:41.000 How is his approval rating not like negative?
00:28:43.000 Oh, because he's backed by the CTU, which is the entire every city, every teacher in Chicago is under the thumb of Stacey Davis skates.
00:28:51.000 And she that's he's a product of C of CPS.
00:28:53.000 He's a teacher, he was a social studies teacher, and he got to he got to play with the city now.
00:28:57.000 But he wants CPD to cut their budget because he overspent on his migrant population who's supposed to elect him again.
00:29:03.000 Did you uh did you look at the election data by neighborhood when he got elected?
00:29:08.000 I've looked at some of it, but I know that the when I look at the overall turnout, the turnout was actually really low for the race in general.
00:29:13.000 Like you would think that it would be like 500 to 600,000 people who came out and voted.
00:29:17.000 It wasn't.
00:29:17.000 Well, but like those are like the really so I took the election map showing which which neighborhood voted for which candidate, and then I took the neighborhood breakdown by race.
00:29:27.000 Okay, and they overlap.
00:29:29.000 So in uh the Hispanic areas, they all voted for the Hispanic guy.
00:29:32.000 In the white areas that voted for the white guy in the black neighborhoods, the top so in the black neighborhoods, all the top three candidates were all the black candidates, even if they weren't even the top polling in the city.
00:29:42.000 Yeah, Brandon Johnson was able to win because one neighborhood deviated, it's a white neighborhood that did not vote for the white candidate.
00:29:49.000 Wow, Loyola.
00:29:50.000 Oh.
00:29:51.000 Voted for Brandon Johnson, put him over the edge, and that's how you ended up getting a concept.
00:29:55.000 Isn't he from out closer to that area?
00:29:57.000 Maybe I think so.
00:29:58.000 It was a bunch of uh the the presumption was socialist university kids voted for the socialist.
00:30:04.000 They did.
00:30:04.000 And now the city is just worse off.
00:30:06.000 I actually know some older, I know quite a few older Chicagoans who voted voted for Paul Vallis because that was what they resonated with.
00:30:12.000 A lot of older black Chicagoans are more conservative in their mindset, they just hate the idea of a Republican.
00:30:17.000 Yep.
00:30:18.000 So they voted for Paul Vallis, but what really failed during that election was that runoff.
00:30:23.000 People didn't come back out.
00:30:24.000 Oh, yeah.
00:30:24.000 Turnout is such a big issue in Chicago.
00:30:27.000 And if for any conservative candidates or Republican candidates, you gotta be willing to bust people to the polls like Democrats do.
00:30:32.000 They bust the voters in, they bust them in and then they mail them those ballots and they win the race before the race even starts.
00:30:38.000 You know what's crazy though?
00:30:39.000 My neighborhood voted for Trump.
00:30:40.000 Yeah.
00:30:41.000 A Chicago neighborhood voted for Donald Trump.
00:30:43.000 It's becoming more popular.
00:30:44.000 Yep.
00:30:44.000 Yeah, it's my neighborhood's a lot of like firefighters and cops.
00:30:48.000 And so these people of all different racial backgrounds are just like, nah.
00:30:52.000 Well, because they're living, I mean, if you go like on the south side neighborhoods like that are still standing strong, like the Mountain Greenwoods, um, Evergreen Parks, um, you know, Oaklawn, uh Beverly, a lot of these places are they're holding on by a thread.
00:31:07.000 And it really just comes down to the fact, like you said, a lot of them are first responders.
00:31:10.000 Yep.
00:31:10.000 They're actually investing in their communities, their kids go to the public go to the schools in the communities, and like they're doing everything that they can to hold on, but they're fighting against like a force of dysfunction.
00:31:19.000 And it's like you have to get Chicago under control.
00:31:21.000 You have to get it under control because it's even spilling out into like Orlin, it's spilling out into Orleans.
00:31:25.000 The theft is going in every direction.
00:31:28.000 My buddy was telling me, so uh, a couple of my buddies still lived in the area for a while.
00:31:31.000 I left a while ago, and the policy that Chicago's had in these high crime gang neighborhoods, largely black, has been to just bulldoze them, like Leclerc Court's is a really great example.
00:31:40.000 Yeah.
00:31:41.000 They said, We're gonna rebuild this for you, so we're temporarily relocating you.
00:31:45.000 Never did.
00:31:45.000 Nope.
00:31:45.000 They just left them in the suburbs.
00:31:47.000 Exactly.
00:31:47.000 And and uh, you know, Andy who works here, he's like all the gangs just moved into other areas, and the crime just got worse.
00:31:53.000 Yeah, they grew and expanded.
00:31:55.000 The city has not dealt with any of these problems.
00:31:57.000 And then it's funny because Trump says, you know, uh, let me let me tell you, apparently, one of the last things I think Trump said the last thing Charlie Kirk asked him was, Mr. President, please save Chicago.
00:32:07.000 Because Charlie's from Arlington Heights.
00:32:09.000 Yeah.
00:32:09.000 And Trump's talking about sending in the National Guard or the feds, and these politicians like Pritzker, look, fine.
00:32:16.000 I don't live there anymore.
00:32:16.000 There's a reason why I left.
00:32:18.000 I don't know.
00:32:18.000 But he's like, You can't come in here, we won't let you.
00:32:20.000 And I'm like, safe.
00:32:21.000 He's walking on the lake front.
00:32:22.000 Have you seen his lake front videos?
00:32:23.000 He's like, I'm on the south side of the lake.
00:32:24.000 Oh, yeah.
00:32:25.000 I'm on the south side of the lake.
00:32:27.000 It's so safe at 6 a.m.
00:32:29.000 I'm like, well, they just went to sleep for the night.
00:32:31.000 The criminals do go to sleep during the day.
00:32:33.000 They sleep during the day and they do their crime at night.
00:32:35.000 Well, the other thing too is uh they go to wealthy areas, they don't rob their own neighborhoods.
00:32:39.000 There is no money in their own neighborhood.
00:32:41.000 They go, they go steal a charger from somebody in the hood, and then they go race downtown.
00:32:45.000 Literally at night, if we ever on the highway at like eight o'clock, we make sure we stay out of the left lane because there's chargers zooming towards downtown.
00:32:51.000 Jeez.
00:32:52.000 Like they're on their way.
00:32:53.000 Let's uh let's jump to this next door.
00:32:54.000 We got this from the Hill.
00:32:56.000 Trump administration orders federal authorities to ignore California mask law.
00:33:01.000 The Trump admin ordered federal authorities Friday to ignore new legislation in California, banning law enforcement officers from wearing masks.
00:33:07.000 Gavin Newsom last Saturday signed the bill, which is slated to take effect January 1st, 2026, making face coverings of local, state, and federal officials a misdemeanor crime and imposing a civil penalty against officers for tortious conduct.
00:33:20.000 Governor Newsom is confused about his role under the U.S. Constitution.
00:33:23.000 Bill Asaley, acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California said in the Friday Post on X, he oversees California, not federal agencies.
00:33:31.000 He should review the supremacy clause.
00:33:33.000 California's laws, law to unmask federal agents, it's unconstitutional, as the state lacks jurisdiction to interfere with federal law enforcement.
00:33:41.000 I have directed federal agencies to disregard this state law and adhere to federal law and agency policies, as Say Lee wrote.
00:33:48.000 This is where things start getting spicy.
00:33:51.000 Because although we are still we got a couple of months until this law kicks in, the question is will Newsom actually try to impose penalties, misdemeanor crimes, potential charges against ICE, or will he just sit there with his you know hands tied behind his back effectively because he can't do anything.
00:34:10.000 And say that they're criminals if he just tells the people they're violating the law, now they're criminals and put that out there.
00:34:15.000 Well, I think that they California already rolls like that.
00:34:17.000 So I used to work in the beauty industry, and you would have to have a whole different rule set up for your beauty product based on California, like California law.
00:34:25.000 Like there's so many, even with uh like trucking, like when trucks drive into California, it's a whole new set of rules they have to abide by.
00:34:32.000 So I think that for them, they've already set multiple precedences where they are used to having their own set of California specific rules.
00:34:38.000 So I don't necessarily know if Newsom is just gonna stand down because that's not the California way.
00:34:43.000 He's not gonna do anything.
00:34:44.000 He's not I don't think I don't think that he's gonna do anything.
00:34:46.000 This is this is all posturing.
00:34:48.000 You think so?
00:34:48.000 He'll go ahead.
00:34:49.000 He they won't actually try to arrest any federal agents and like Ian said, I think he'll just go ahead and say, Look, I passed this law, and these are criminal ice agents, they're breaking the law.
00:34:58.000 Look at look at how how bad Trump is, his Gestapo, and all he's gonna do is use it to turn up the rhetoric, which is bad in and of itself.
00:35:07.000 Right?
00:35:07.000 Like, this is an escalation, and whatever he does beyond this is a is also another escalation, but I don't think that he'll go so far as to have his local law enforcement actually have a confrontation with federal law enforcement because he doesn't want to, I don't, I can't imagine that he wants to see any of his own local law enforcement guys get shot.
00:35:28.000 He doesn't want to see a gunfight between two different law enforcement agencies.
00:35:32.000 Terrible and he doesn't he doesn't actually want to take on the federal government in a kinetic way.
00:35:36.000 He wants to take on Trump in a a battle of rhetoric.
00:35:40.000 Yes.
00:35:40.000 And he wants to, he wants to look tough so that way because he wants to run for president.
00:35:44.000 So if he if he if they get into a gunfight, say viable for the yeah, yeah.
00:35:47.000 If the if they if they get into a gunfight, there's no way he's gonna win pre the presidency.
00:35:51.000 The only reason I'm still just concerned is because the temperature, like you talked about, the temperature is up so high.
00:35:56.000 And now they're to the point of they don't want to just posture, they're fatigued With posturing.
00:36:01.000 And I think that on our side, we're like, oh, nobody in their right mind is gonna do that.
00:36:04.000 But the people that are behind a newsome, they want to see action now.
00:36:08.000 And I think that that's something we have to be mindful of.
00:36:10.000 There was a video I just saw today where uh a bunch of conservatives were at a memorial for Charlie Kirk and it was painted on a bridge.
00:36:16.000 And some guy filming, he's filming himself with a camera on his body, walks up with spray paint, shakes it up, and then immediately starts trying to desecrate the memorial and immediately gets gets repelled.
00:36:27.000 Yeah.
00:36:27.000 And then starts threatening people.
00:36:29.000 I love the sales, you can't touch me, you can't touch me.
00:36:31.000 And it's like, bro, I've heard that there's so many of these videos.
00:36:35.000 Have you guys seen the video where the dude tries robbing the CVS and he's got these huge bags and a mask on, and then somebody just grabs them, puts them in a chokehold, and slams them down while the guy's yelling, you can't touch me.
00:36:45.000 And I'm like, bro, that's not gonna fly with people who don't care anymore, right?
00:36:49.000 So they end up pepper spraying the dude.
00:36:51.000 Yeah.
00:36:51.000 And then there's like three other leftists, and they're like, you can't do this to us.
00:36:55.000 How do you and it's like, dude, no one is going to tolerate these leftists acting this way.
00:37:01.000 And you know, to Phil's point he made uh just a moment ago in the previous segment.
00:37:06.000 These people have been able to go out with impunity and firebomb ice buildings in 2020 for a hundred plus days.
00:37:13.000 And and Trump didn't do anything about it.
00:37:16.000 So they're there there are I mean, think about this five years ago.
00:37:20.000 There's a 13 year old.
00:37:22.000 He logs on a Facebook or or X or Instagram, whatever's watching TikTok, and he sees these far leftists lobbying explosives at a federal building.
00:37:29.000 Five years later, he's like, Why can't I?
00:37:32.000 You know, you don't get in trouble for it.
00:37:33.000 And so now he's out there on the ground with these people doing it.
00:37:36.000 People don't realize, man, time five years.
00:37:41.000 It's it's it's not that long.
00:37:43.000 You are gonna see more and more people being told it is okay to do this.
00:37:46.000 That's why I'm saying Trump needs to start arresting these people for the threats.
00:37:50.000 These people at the ICE facility need to be arrested, and a message is now sent.
00:37:54.000 So that way, when there's a 13 or 14 year old who logs on it, TikTok or whatever, they see you get arrested, and they see people crying, and they say, I ain't doing that.
00:38:01.000 No, because you don't want to go to county.
00:38:03.000 Oh man.
00:38:04.000 You need to have the risk of going to county with real hardened criminals who are waiting for you to come in there.
00:38:09.000 Like that needs to be the risk.
00:38:10.000 And I think that, like you say, normalizing bad behavior and normalizing that you can put your hands on law enforcement and get that close to them is not something that's it's just not a safe thing to do.
00:38:18.000 You don't touch law enforcement.
00:38:20.000 I think uh, you know, people who don't live in Chicago don't understand what means to go to county.
00:38:23.000 Oh man, county is rough.
00:38:26.000 I mean, like it's not just a quick stay, those guys are in there for what up to a year.
00:38:28.000 You could say county for a year.
00:38:30.000 And so real criminals.
00:38:31.000 Some there's there's two thoughts about it.
00:38:33.000 Uh so what is like uh it's like uh what is it, like California?
00:38:35.000 Or I can't remember that the address, the street that it's on.
00:38:38.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, it's California.
00:38:39.000 On California Avenue or whatever.
00:38:40.000 And so some of these people are in county lockup pending transfer to for like waiting trial for serious murder, and their attitude is like, I ain't going nowhere, so I can do whatever I want.
00:38:52.000 So you might what's scary for a lot of people with county is you might get a charge where you're looking at two or three months.
00:38:57.000 Yeah, you go to county, and then some guy starts a beef with you who's like, bro, I'm in here for the rest of my life.
00:39:02.000 And then what happens if you get into a fight?
00:39:04.000 You get more time.
00:39:05.000 Yep.
00:39:05.000 And so people are terrified for a variety of reasons, plus the gangs run out of there.
00:39:09.000 Yeah.
00:39:09.000 Yeah, go to county.
00:39:10.000 No.
00:39:11.000 No, and it needs to be a real risk.
00:39:12.000 Like if you're like a college kid, like you need to really be thinking about this.
00:39:16.000 Like, no, there's an amount of bail getting you out of here.
00:39:19.000 Could you imagine like a woke white liberal woman in county lockup trying to tell like some 30-year-old gangbanger about how oppressed he is?
00:39:27.000 Yeah, even I mean, if you're in there with these hardened chicks, like they're nothing to play with.
00:39:30.000 I think that, like you said, it just has to, you have to have normalcy.
00:39:32.000 We have we need to return to normalcy and return to common sense.
00:39:35.000 Like the normal person is never going to go touch a law enforcement official, official.
00:39:39.000 It doesn't occur to me to touch them.
00:39:40.000 So we need to normalize that for more of the population.
00:39:44.000 Like that's that's just the only way forward.
00:39:46.000 We're such in such strange times, like it's their abnormal times with this 20 plus million if surge of illegal immigrants, and that people have been either brainwashed into believing that they're the rebel alliance and that the empire is coming with their stormtroopers all masked up to take their people away.
00:40:03.000 The new Jewish people.
00:40:04.000 They've made the migrants the new Jewish people.
00:40:05.000 They really have, and I think that's so weird to co-op the Jewish story, and also they've they also look at these people like the new slaves.
00:40:11.000 Like they'll kind of tell me, like, oh, you're gonna be like a person like me, like, oh, it this was you just a little bit ago.
00:40:16.000 And it's like, hey, that it actually wasn't.
00:40:18.000 Yeah, that was me never.
00:40:20.000 Like I was never enslaved.
00:40:22.000 None of and from like I was never enslaved, and also slaves didn't like hop over here.
00:40:25.000 Like they like that's not even like the story.
00:40:27.000 And it's like to make it seem like I should be okay with illegal uh aliens coming into the country.
00:40:32.000 I'm like, I'm an American.
00:40:33.000 I'm an American, and I think that for a lot of black people, they need to really identify much more heavily with being Americans.
00:40:39.000 We are not slaves anymore.
00:40:41.000 We are American citizens with all the rights and privileges, privileges of being American citizens.
00:40:46.000 And for the Democratic Party to continue to tell us that we are not, and that we're actually second class citizens who at any point could get deported with illegal aliens, because that's the rhetoric they tell us it could be you.
00:40:55.000 You're gonna get enslaved.
00:40:57.000 No, we're not.
00:40:58.000 No, we're not.
00:41:00.000 It really, it really is this amazing contrast between Clarence Thomas and Katanji Brown Jackson.
00:41:04.000 And like Clarence Thomas is one of the greatest thinkers of of our of our lifetime.
00:41:08.000 And Katanji Brown Jackson is real dog.
00:41:13.000 Everybody's got it.
00:41:14.000 No, but she's she's a really bad influence for black women in general, and that's why you see a lot of black women following in her footsteps.
00:41:20.000 It's like the Jasmine Crockett syndrome.
00:41:21.000 This is why it's been normalized for black women to feel like, oh, let me go and um get really educated, but not evolve.
00:41:28.000 Well, she fakes it.
00:41:29.000 Yeah.
00:41:29.000 That's the worst thing is that she's a well-educated, professional individual who decided I'm gonna act like I'm ghetto and play this character up.
00:41:38.000 Yeah.
00:41:38.000 That's crazy.
00:41:39.000 No, it's either play like you're a civil rights activist or play like you're ghetto and about that life.
00:41:44.000 It's like you're not she has she literally walks around Congress or walks around the Capitol, Capitol Hill with like security around her.
00:41:49.000 Like, you're not about that life.
00:41:50.000 You're actually quite scared, you're quite shook about the attention that you have.
00:41:53.000 But Where is she from?
00:41:55.000 She's from St. Louis.
00:41:56.000 She's actually from close to my to my own.
00:41:57.000 Okay, in St. Louis.
00:41:58.000 I'll give I'll give I'll give her some credit for St. Louis.
00:42:01.000 She went to schools that cost like $30,000 a year.
00:42:03.000 Like this woman is not what she portrays at all.
00:42:05.000 And it really is.
00:42:06.000 Okay, so West, not East St. Louis.
00:42:08.000 No, no.
00:42:09.000 No.
00:42:09.000 I was I'm from East St. Louis.
00:42:10.000 And I'm like, I'm from East St. Louis, an area where people are terrified.
00:42:13.000 Oh, yeah.
00:42:13.000 You know what to go to.
00:42:14.000 And I'm like, I don't act like that.
00:42:15.000 So why do you act like that?
00:42:16.000 And you're from St. Louis.
00:42:17.000 Yeah, crossing the crossing the river is like when you do it, it gets bad.
00:42:21.000 Yep.
00:42:21.000 No, it gets really bad.
00:42:22.000 East St. Louis is a probably considered a dead town at this point.
00:42:25.000 Uh but my grandma's loser.
00:42:26.000 Yeah.
00:42:26.000 It's it's crazy too with like AOC, Jasmine Crockett.
00:42:31.000 I mean, is she a squad member now?
00:42:33.000 Is that or no?
00:42:34.000 Which one?
00:42:34.000 Jasmine Crocker?
00:42:35.000 I don't know if she's actually a member of the squad.
00:42:37.000 I don't know if they're in the squad anymore because honorary man.
00:42:39.000 They lost like three squad members, so the squad broke up.
00:42:42.000 Is that what happened?
00:42:43.000 I feel like Jasmine Crockett is mad at them because they didn't want her to be, you know, they they were like, no, you can't lead the committee.
00:42:49.000 What was it?
00:42:49.000 The oversight committee.
00:42:51.000 Yeah, they, you know, they knocked her off of that because she's she's not really one of their team.
00:42:54.000 I I'm gonna ask again because I didn't get the answer I wanted last time.
00:42:58.000 But okay, so what's the difference here?
00:42:59.000 There's people that have been here illegally for five or six years that don't speak English.
00:43:03.000 They came in the surge of Biden's uh surge versus people that have been here over a decade that speak fluent English that have a lot of friends and family in the in the community.
00:43:12.000 Well, what are you what are you asking?
00:43:13.000 Because that's the distinction.
00:43:14.000 We should that we should not use ice to deport people that are intergirl now that have integrated, even if they're illegal.
00:43:20.000 Well, the priority of the Trump administration is not those people.
00:43:23.000 No.
00:43:23.000 But don't grab them anyway if they get it.
00:43:25.000 Well, I I don't think the proper way to describe it is they'll get them anyway.
00:43:28.000 I think it's that they've they've been looking for active orders of deportation, and they're typically targeting that they want to go after the criminals.
00:43:36.000 Yeah.
00:43:37.000 Some some kind of heavy crime or multiple infractions.
00:43:41.000 Some of these people are a guy who lived in an area for a long time, but he has an infraction.
00:43:46.000 Um I have not, I don't think there's actually any any big national stories of like a guy whose only offense was an order of deportation who worked at a grocery store anything.
00:43:56.000 Yeah.
00:43:56.000 Typically, even when the left puts up these videos where it's like there's one right now of a guy screaming, I Udemy.
00:44:01.000 Oh no, no, not that there's one where it means help me.
00:44:05.000 Oh, it does.
00:44:05.000 Okay.
00:44:06.000 So there's a Spaniards nobody.
00:44:08.000 No, no, no.
00:44:08.000 So there's a video where a guy uh is that is that is at a car and they throw him down and he's screaming in Spanish, please, please.
00:44:14.000 I just I just want to see my family.
00:44:15.000 Yeah, and all these libs are going, oh my God.
00:44:18.000 Here's a pedophile.
00:44:19.000 Oh.
00:44:20.000 Yeah, and it's like, guys, that you what are you doing?
00:44:23.000 I I believe what you're saying, actually, but that the people that are here 10, 12 years integrated working at the grocery store with no criminal record except for their are terrified that they will be grabbed.
00:44:31.000 So maybe we could give them federal immunity.
00:44:33.000 What why if they can prove that they've been here over a decade?
00:44:36.000 I just think it does a disservice to immigrants who go through the the actual thorough process.
00:44:40.000 And that's the one thing we have to protect is the process of immigration.
00:44:43.000 Those people know more about America than we do a lot of times.
00:44:45.000 Like they they have to learn so much about this country, they pay so much money to become American citizens, and it takes so much time.
00:44:52.000 So it really does, in order to say, hey, you're okay, for the person who came in at twelve the same time period as the person who came illegally, it's like, well, why did I go through all of this and wait?
00:45:02.000 Or even people who are seeking us, what is it, asylum where you have to wait to come into the country for asylum.
00:45:06.000 You're supposed to go to a port of entry.
00:45:08.000 Yeah.
00:45:08.000 And if there's a country that is is between the country you originated at and the United States that actually is safe, you're supposed to stop there.
00:45:17.000 Ian and apply them.
00:45:18.000 Yeah, you're just supposed to be able to do that.
00:45:19.000 So I I have a pitch for you, Ian.
00:45:20.000 I I've been thinking about this.
00:45:22.000 You know, I was reading the other day about a guy, and they called it a bank robbery.
00:45:27.000 Can you believe this?
00:45:28.000 This poor man, he was just making an undocumented withdrawal from the bank.
00:45:33.000 And I said, why don't we?
00:45:35.000 I mean, look, it's been a couple years since the undocumented withdrawal.
00:45:40.000 He's used the money to work and live in his home and he built it up.
00:45:44.000 Why arrest him at this point?
00:45:46.000 Do you think all the people that have Bitcoin that didn't report it to the government should go to prison?
00:45:50.000 Do I think people that have in that have violated tax law should go to prison?
00:45:55.000 Most that just have Bitcoin and didn't ever report it.
00:45:57.000 Yeah, so you know what happens is they send you a bill.
00:46:00.000 You don't go to prison.
00:46:01.000 The government doesn't know they have it.
00:46:02.000 They have it offshore, they have it, they don't tell, they have cold storage.
00:46:04.000 Like, should those people hunt to death.
00:46:05.000 If you want to have a debate over the morality of tax law.
00:46:08.000 Just with law in general.
00:46:10.000 Tax and murder and undocumented, they're all got it.
00:46:13.000 They're all distinct things.
00:46:14.000 And taxes.
00:46:15.000 So you're comparing apples to oranges.
00:46:17.000 And I'll tell you this the answer is the people, the people who bought Bitcoin and have made a lot of money on it, should pay their taxes.
00:46:24.000 Now we can have a debate over how we should handle tax law as it pertains to this country and how I feel about taxes and all that.
00:46:30.000 But if the argument is these people knew full well that buying crypto and then making a massive gain on that would require them paying capital gains when they when they when they uh uh uh uh when they actually see the return and then they intentionally hid that from the government, well, I have a problem with that.
00:46:47.000 You talk about it.
00:46:48.000 That's illegal, and I'm not gonna cut uh but here's the thing.
00:46:51.000 Often when you have tax stuff like this, I said this of Hunter Biden.
00:46:54.000 Usually the IRS just says, hey, dude, you owe us.
00:46:57.000 They don't they don't come and lock you up unless there's something egregious that you did.
00:47:01.000 We talked about jury nullification earlier about a jury being like, look, the law is maybe the law, but it's not just.
00:47:07.000 And I think that's with the illegal, because if we just go hardcore everyone go, you'll just have more and more resistance.
00:47:13.000 I have a good analogy.
00:47:16.000 So listen, what about this analogy?
00:47:17.000 So what if somebody, what if we're talking about a squatter instead?
00:47:20.000 Because my family has land in Arkansas and they have squatters on it.
00:47:23.000 So say you have a squatter in a house and they've been there for like 12 years.
00:47:26.000 Is that house ever theirs?
00:47:28.000 Is it more theirs now today than it was when they first started squatting when they broke in and decided this is my house now?
00:47:34.000 Is it they is it should that person who actually owns that house not be able to get their house back because the person's been there for so long?
00:47:40.000 Well, 12 years is an interesting question, actually.
00:47:42.000 Uh and if and if we're talking about like that there there are questions that I think are fair when we're talking about duration.
00:47:49.000 If you own property and you did not.
00:47:51.000 Yeah, let somebody stay there for 12 years, yeah.
00:47:52.000 You're negligent as heck.
00:47:54.000 But like six months to a year.
00:47:55.000 But also, our immigration system was negligent as heck.
00:47:58.000 And it's like, I so I guess that kind of goes back to what you said.
00:48:00.000 Like, if we let somebody stay here for 12 years, like the US jacked up.
00:48:03.000 You know, like why was that person here for 12 years?
00:48:05.000 But but again, to Ian's point, I would say these are completely morally distinct things.
00:48:09.000 Yeah, yes.
00:48:10.000 Someone didn't pay taxes to the government, nobody was physically hurt, the the GD, the the the tax revenue for the year was barely impacted.
00:48:18.000 Somebody with Bitcoin, let's say someone got really wealthy off it and they owe seven million dollars in Bitcoin.
00:48:22.000 That's a rounding error at for the federal budget.
00:48:25.000 I I think the appropriate solution is hey, you owe taxes, you got a tax bill.
00:48:30.000 Thank you and have a nice.
00:48:31.000 I think the crypto thing's irrelevant too.
00:48:33.000 I I think that squatting is a better metaphor.
00:48:36.000 If somebody came here illegally, it is not in any way a moral violation to say, uh, Ian, uh, I couldn't help but notice you've been in my house for a long time.
00:48:43.000 I'm gonna give you a ride home, okay?
00:48:45.000 Give me the address.
00:48:46.000 Like I'll I'll pay for it.
00:48:48.000 Listen, if I found there was a guy in my basement that I didn't know was there, and the worst that happened was I was like, let's let's say I I'll pay for them to leave.
00:48:56.000 They all pay for that.
00:48:58.000 Ian, let's say one day I'm like, you know, I keep every night hearing this weird noise in my basement, and I it's been it's been this way for a couple of years.
00:49:05.000 I go down there and there's a little haggard little jasmine crockett going, husband from the best round time based on the biggest.
00:49:10.000 And then and then I say, okay, this is a problem for me.
00:49:14.000 You can't be in my house.
00:49:15.000 I'm gonna give you a ride home.
00:49:17.000 I'm gonna pay for the gas, you will be comfortable the whole way.
00:49:20.000 And you may come back legally through the front door.
00:49:22.000 That's you'll be well fed, and all you gotta do is come back, knock, and then and we'll talk about it.
00:49:26.000 About 12 years at one of your properties you don't live at, and it's just you just didn't Pay any attention and now it's their house.
00:49:33.000 So here's the issue that's a difference between an individual who waited 12 years and never checked on their property.
00:49:38.000 I would call that abandoned.
00:49:40.000 The United States government is very different because there have been people in this country demanding the deportation of these individuals, but a government that would not do it.
00:49:47.000 So you've got people outright saying no, stop this, and the law saying you can't.
00:49:53.000 Skirting the law and hiding is different.
00:49:55.000 So how about a better, a better analogy, Ian?
00:49:57.000 You own a house, you check on it every every other week, and the person squatting hides every time you come and check.
00:50:05.000 And so one day you figure out they've been there for 12 years, but every time you check, they've been hiding from you.
00:50:11.000 Can you kick them out?
00:50:13.000 Depends on the state.
00:50:14.000 Legally, I'm saying morally, morally.
00:50:16.000 Morally.
00:50:17.000 Morally.
00:50:17.000 Oh, that's rough.
00:50:18.000 They're hiding from you.
00:50:19.000 There's like a family of people that have been hiding and living.
00:50:22.000 They intentionally, they intentionally broke into your house.
00:50:24.000 They're hiding from you because they know you're keeping up with the house, you're checking on it, and you don't want anyone there.
00:50:29.000 Bye.
00:50:29.000 Goodbye.
00:50:30.000 Because here's 100%.
00:50:31.000 So you're if you're aware, yeah, if you're not negligent, if you're aware they're there.
00:50:34.000 And this and this country this country has laws saying you can't do it.
00:50:37.000 Well, what's gonna happen?
00:50:38.000 ICE was in enforcing those laws, particularly under Obama, just because some people got away with it from hiding doesn't mean we we leave them here.
00:50:46.000 BlackRock's gonna own 20% of the houses in the country and and people are gonna be like squatting.
00:50:51.000 Nothing to do with immigration.
00:50:52.000 No.
00:50:52.000 That has nothing to do with immigration.
00:50:53.000 Well, and I think, so I used to work for the state's financial aid agency in Illinois.
00:50:56.000 And here's the thing.
00:50:56.000 So for a lot of these people who have been long time illegal aliens, They also had kids they brought here with them.
00:51:02.000 I would literally be doing financial aid applications with these children, and they thought they were citizens.
00:51:07.000 So that's the issue is like what what are the we have to think about all the real world implications of somebody who has not pursued legal citizenship and what it does to their entire family union as well.
00:51:15.000 So those kids would be thinking, oh, they and these would be smart kids.
00:51:19.000 Like they actually had like better GPAs than some of the kids who were like actual American citizens.
00:51:24.000 But when it came time for me to say, hey, what's your social?
00:51:27.000 They would show me either a card that was like a DACA card or they would show me something else, and it's like, hey, that's not that's not a social.
00:51:33.000 And then they would have to find out all of a sudden, like, wait, what do you mean?
00:51:35.000 Uh and I would be breaking the news to them that they weren't a citizen.
00:51:38.000 Do they get deported?
00:51:39.000 No, so they would actually train us with the State Financial Agencies to make sure we were like protecting you know these kids so they wouldn't end up in a precarious situation.
00:51:46.000 But when you have a parent that is negligent or a person who's now negligent with not going through that process, you really have to act like why aren't you going through the process to you know to make yourself right?
00:51:55.000 Because it's not it hasn't always been a hostile situation in America where you couldn't go and then pursue you know citizenship.
00:52:00.000 So why hasn't it been a priority?
00:52:02.000 Especially if you've been here for 12 years.
00:52:04.000 Because the government was being negligent.
00:52:05.000 Oh bye.
00:52:07.000 No, listen, there there are there, there's this story that we're gonna pull up in a second where a guy is a superintendent in Iowa.
00:52:12.000 Yeah, just because you've like contributed, lied and hidden from law enforcement does not mean oh you you you win, you robbed a bank, but you ran around the block five times and we couldn't catch us a great, you get to keep the money.
00:52:26.000 There's no time.
00:52:27.000 There's a statute of limitations.
00:52:28.000 Statue of limitations means we knew you we knew where you were, we knew who you are, we knew the crime and accusations were there, and we didn't pursue it.
00:52:35.000 That's different.
00:52:36.000 If we say this is a crime and then you hide from us and we can't find you and didn't know that you were here, the statute of limitations doesn't kick in until we're aware of that crime.
00:52:45.000 So if a guy comes from Guatemala and is living here illegally and no one knows the crime has been committed, then it's not negligent.
00:52:53.000 If one day we then say, hey, wait a minute, that guy's illegal and we pursue it, it doesn't matter how long it's.
00:52:58.000 So Biden's saying surge the border was negligent.
00:53:02.000 Fair enough.
00:53:03.000 But look, the reason why I'm so hard line on it, and and it and I am completely hard line.
00:53:08.000 I don't care what nuance you add to it, my answer is goodbye, right?
00:53:12.000 Just send if you are here illegally, you have to go back.
00:53:15.000 Bye.
00:53:15.000 That's it.
00:53:16.000 The reason is because it deters people from coming here in the future.
00:53:20.000 It's not just that.
00:53:21.000 Our economy is is the place, our low-skilled labor is displaced, our our housing is displaced.
00:53:26.000 Houses should not cost as much as they are.
00:53:28.000 And I I and we can certainly talk about Trump wanting interest rates to go down because it's gonna make houses go up in in price.
00:53:34.000 But if there were, if we if the people who came here illegally were not here, then the cost of houses would go way down.
00:53:41.000 Why?
00:53:41.000 Because the supply would be massive.
00:53:43.000 Gen Z would then be able to afford homes.
00:53:45.000 Maybe then they'd have families.
00:53:47.000 So I do not tolerate Democrats saying abort your babies and surge the border, so we have this massive strain on low-skill labor, the housing market, and no one can have families.
00:53:57.000 Then they're telling everyone who abort their babies and they're just destroying this country.
00:54:00.000 And then they call everybody racist when you say things like the great replacement is real.
00:54:04.000 It is real.
00:54:05.000 You're gonna replace the religion, because actually, when you think about the pace of something like the Muslim religion in comparison to Christianity, the m Muslims are outpacing Christianity in different areas because they have more babies.
00:54:15.000 They are literally birthing more Muslims.
00:54:17.000 Like that's literally why they're growing.
00:54:20.000 The left loves Islam and hates Christians.
00:54:22.000 They're Islam adjacent.
00:54:23.000 And it's like as soon as Islam has taken over the areas because if you go look at so if you go in Illinois, um they've had a big foothold in areas like Oreland Park, and it's like they're taking over a lot of people.
00:54:35.000 We have to jump to this story from KGW.com.
00:54:40.000 Rapper Ice Cube's tour bus catches fire in downtown Portland investigation underway.
00:54:45.000 Now you may be saying, Tim, I don't that's sad to hear for Ice Cube.
00:54:49.000 The rumor is the fire was started by people who thought they were firebombing ice.
00:54:54.000 Which that is hilarious.
00:54:56.000 It's terrible for the owner of the bus.
00:54:58.000 It's it's awful for the owner of the bus, because I assume that Ice Cube doesn't own the bus.
00:55:01.000 He's probably renting it.
00:55:02.000 Apparently, didn't he say something left field about recently?
00:55:05.000 He had a comment, I think recently about I don't know if it was about ice, but that sucks.
00:55:10.000 So most people again, this is this is apparently I don't know if this is actual footage.
00:55:14.000 This is what everyone's sharing.
00:55:16.000 Fire ice on the side of the bus.
00:55:18.000 And apparently it said ice, ice cube or something.
00:55:21.000 Because they call them ice.
00:55:22.000 Yeah.
00:55:23.000 Now I don't know if that's true.
00:55:25.000 However, guys, be pretty on brand downtown Portland, which has this kind of stuff all the time.
00:55:32.000 And the the Portland Ice protests are ongoing.
00:55:35.000 So when someone says Ice who set fire to his boss and why.
00:55:40.000 Why did it just happen?
00:55:42.000 Okay, somebody did it for a reason.
00:55:43.000 Now we can speculate.
00:55:45.000 Maybe it was some guy who was like, I am so jealous of this famous rapper, I will burn it.
00:55:49.000 I don't know.
00:55:49.000 We don't really hear stories like that.
00:55:51.000 So when the rumor is anti-ICE protesters set fire to Ice Cube's van or tour bus, we're kind of like you know that's kind of believable.
00:56:00.000 It's that's believable in my opinion.
00:56:01.000 Yeah, and ice cube might have killed people in the past.
00:56:03.000 Like he came from a rough neighborhood.
00:56:05.000 I wouldn't want to set his his bus on fire, personally.
00:56:08.000 Oh, we said uh maybe it'd bring us up, bring him over to our cause.
00:56:11.000 So apparently he said he's not taking it as a personal attack that it could have been anybody who did it or whatever.
00:56:16.000 That's good.
00:56:16.000 Uh, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that whoever did it's probably whether the motivation was left, it was one of these crackpot Portland protesters.
00:56:24.000 Because it's not that it's not the lady who owns the boutique shop in Portland doing it.
00:56:27.000 No.
00:56:27.000 And they were probably on drugs.
00:56:29.000 Portland has been under siege since the pandemic started.
00:56:31.000 Like they've been in a non-stop protest and anarchy.
00:56:34.000 Which speaks to my my earlier point of they should have been arresting people that assault.
00:56:39.000 No, they just they were like, oh, let's just give you privacy.
00:56:41.000 Give them give them space.
00:56:44.000 And you'll calm down.
00:56:45.000 And they never calm down.
00:56:46.000 You should have arrested them all, throwing them all in jail.
00:56:48.000 Streets light and fires.
00:56:50.000 Does ice mark their vans?
00:56:51.000 Does it say ice on the ice?
00:56:53.000 Sometimes some of them will and some of them don't.
00:56:55.000 Yeah, no, I the it it it it depends.
00:56:57.000 And I think um uh it doesn't say ice specifically.
00:57:02.000 Uh border patrol does.
00:57:04.000 It's white with a green band has border patrol on it.
00:57:07.000 The ice fans um let me see if I can find the photo of these vans that got shot.
00:57:13.000 Um we do have them.
00:57:14.000 Let me pull this up so you can take a look at it.
00:57:16.000 Well, because people are working so hard to figure out where ice is going to be now, like in Chicago Black Club.
00:57:21.000 They're not unmarked.
00:57:22.000 No.
00:57:23.000 There's writing on the front.
00:57:24.000 I'll try and see if I can get a better image of what it says.
00:57:26.000 Why would they think he would have a tour bus for ice?
00:57:28.000 Like what these images are all small.
00:57:30.000 You can't read anything.
00:57:31.000 Um, this is the thing about the shooter at the ice facility.
00:57:35.000 When when the left is like, he was shooting detainees.
00:57:37.000 He didn't know that these vehicles were for detainee transport.
00:57:40.000 He just saw ice vehicles and started shooting at them.
00:57:43.000 The reason I asked is because I feel like the path that is seems like is happening is that they'll at some point ice will be like, we can't mark our vehicles anymore because we're too easy to target.
00:57:52.000 Then they'll have unmarked vehicles, then they'll be like, we can't show anybody's face because it's too dangerous.
00:57:56.000 Then they'll all have stormtrooper armor on.
00:57:57.000 Yeah.
00:57:58.000 And they'll be like, now we all have digital ID.
00:58:00.000 They want like, which they just kear Starmer in England yesterday was like, we're all gonna have digital ID now because the problem they created of the mass immigration, now they they're gonna try and fix the problem they created with even more problems.
00:58:11.000 It's called problem reaction solution.
00:58:12.000 Yeah, it's like it's textbook totalitarian governance.
00:58:16.000 Circa.
00:58:16.000 Thank you, Alex.
00:58:17.000 Thank you for reading the.
00:58:20.000 Like the biggest name for babies.
00:58:23.000 Yeah.
00:58:23.000 Or for for boys.
00:58:24.000 Yeah.
00:58:25.000 I'd rather not go down this path, but at the same time, it feels like the empire, you know.
00:58:29.000 That fell a little London's more.
00:58:31.000 Something has fallen.
00:58:32.000 Uh, as of 2023, Mohammed is officially taking the top spot in England as the most popular baby.
00:58:37.000 So not even just London, England.
00:58:38.000 Yeah.
00:58:39.000 Wow.
00:58:39.000 It's really bad.
00:58:41.000 Overtook Noah.
00:58:42.000 Yeah.
00:58:43.000 No, their whole culture has shifted.
00:58:44.000 It's it happened.
00:58:46.000 In the United States, you can't even blame Joe.
00:58:48.000 I mean, you can kind of blame Joe Biden when he said surge the border, negligent near dementia, but it was almost this emergent apathy that Bro, the stuff we are learning about James Comey, that we've learned about him and uh not even just him, but Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama.
00:59:04.000 Well, actually, you know, and we'll talk about it in a second.
00:59:07.000 With the the new information about what happened on J6.
00:59:09.000 I mean, it's pretty patently obvious that we had a rogue anti-American faction in control of our institutions and our government for for this period of for a long time.
00:59:20.000 I think it began at 9-11.
00:59:21.000 I mean, I watched it the entire country change after 9-11 with the Patriot Act and the way people were like, whatever you want, government, you're in control now.
00:59:30.000 Take the wheel.
00:59:31.000 I don't know if I agree with that.
00:59:33.000 Ooh, I remember September of 2001, how normal it was, and then all of a sudden.
00:59:41.000 All of a sudden, what?
00:59:42.000 All of a sudden it it mattered more what George Bush said than anybody else.
00:59:48.000 There was there was a significant terror attack on 9-11.
00:59:53.000 What is it that you were what is it that you think like so going into a aside from going to Iraq, because Iraq was a terrible, terrible debotched uh idea.
01:00:02.000 What it what is it aside from that that that you think was was the major change where someone, a nefarious organization that didn't love America took over.
01:00:12.000 Is that what the because that's kind of what what Tim was saying?
01:00:15.000 That was like a mask-off moment.
01:00:16.000 I I mean it's been at it since the 1930 business plot when they tried to march 400,000 men on Washington, DC overthrow the government.
01:00:22.000 But let's pause because the the creation of liberal economic order after World War II was a substantially different set of circumstances from the business plot.
01:00:29.000 So the I believe a liberal economic order was a was the principal turning point for this country in which we had the birth of the UNIParty, and you get it.
01:00:37.000 I mean, the international monetary fund, the bank for international sediments, all of these things that were created in the wake of the US and its European allies being like, it's time for us to own the world.
01:00:47.000 That is when in 2016 Trump got in and was like, no.
01:00:51.000 And then they were like, we can't let him dismantle this.
01:00:53.000 Yeah, they did with the Federal Reserve, that was like the fascists' foot in the door.
01:00:56.000 Then the business plot was their blatant attempt at the fascist coup, and that that got Smedley Butler blew it up, and they're like, no.
01:01:02.000 Fascist is not the right way to describe it.
01:01:03.000 Well, they said it's gonna be a fascist coup.
01:01:05.000 Smedley, can you lead a fascist coup on the government?
01:01:07.000 We want to overcome it.
01:01:08.000 They literally rebutted.
01:01:09.000 It was either communism or fascism.
01:01:10.000 That was what people were thinking at that point in history.
01:01:12.000 And they're like, we want to do a fascist government.
01:01:17.000 Like not-for-profit business is such a major job, like jobs category in America, and I feel like that's driving a lot of how Congress is behaving because a lot of the money gets funneled sometimes from those not-for-profits into their campaigns.
01:01:29.000 Like these people are not raising the amount of money that you think they're raising for their campaigns.
01:01:32.000 They're getting it via these alternative routes, and you have so much money that's going into not-for-profit donations, and then it's just they don't have to disclose things the way that you would think they have to disclose it.
01:01:42.000 And I think that that's really caused a lot of the corruption.
01:01:45.000 Even in states like Illinois, Pritzker has a not-for-profit that he exclusively uses to lobby and to influence elections.
01:01:52.000 So he can go into other states and influence their elections with his not-for-profit, and that's how he's been swaying people's elections is via that.
01:01:58.000 Yeah, and you're correct.
01:02:00.000 Explicitly and overtly fascist was the uh business plot.
01:02:03.000 It was bankers and their names are public.
01:02:05.000 Oh, the the media just was like, we'll just not mention this.
01:02:09.000 I mean, the business plot is the most fascist.
01:02:11.000 I mean, look, looking at looking at historical things from NA from like with modern eyes, yeah, is one thing.
01:02:19.000 But like prior to the prior to Mussolini and prior to the Nazis' specific unique version of fascism, fascism wasn't looked at in the same way that we look at it today.
01:02:35.000 Right?
01:02:35.000 Like it wasn't inherently evil.
01:02:37.000 It was just like so it's a it it's a the way and I feel like the way that we're talking about it here, or at least the way that you're you're talking about it, doesn't it?
01:02:45.000 It only sees it from a a modern perspective.
01:02:49.000 I do think the word fascist has been used like a cudgel lately.
01:02:52.000 But we're still in a fashion partly fascist system, like 13% fascist.
01:02:56.000 Well, I mean, look, so like in Chile, right?
01:02:58.000 Chile was was a fascist.
01:02:59.000 Pinochet was a fascist dic dictator, and he was he was pretty he was fairly brutal.
01:03:04.000 But like at the end of his his reign, like he left power.
01:03:09.000 I think he died.
01:03:10.000 Um but like they didn't continue on.
01:03:13.000 There wasn't another dictator after that, if I remember correctly.
01:03:16.000 And I'm not super well versed on it, but they had like fashion you can have a fascist government that goes away.
01:03:22.000 You can vote a fascist.
01:03:24.000 There are even fascist governments that are voted out.
01:03:26.000 So like the idea that fat the way that people think of f fascism today implies Nazism, right?
01:03:34.000 There, they're it's almost like they're they're this it's a it's synonymous for Nazism, and it's not.
01:03:40.000 Nazism, pardon me.
01:03:41.000 And racism is they lump it all in together.
01:03:43.000 Yeah, that's that's true, but fascism r frequently did have racist uh racist connections because they were very very nationalistic and and um and ethnicity mattered and stuff like that.
01:03:56.000 But I just I just want to point out, like, or I at least want to you know shed light on when you say fascist, people think Nazi nowadays, right?
01:04:05.000 Even though Nazis were a very specific and a unique form of fascism.
01:04:11.000 They they aren't, it is not the same as as other fascist uh governments.
01:04:15.000 Right.
01:04:16.000 Mussolini particularly was hardcore, like state-owned control everything kind of thing, which people think that's what fascism is, but it's just like like when Trump used government funds to buy 10% of intel, that was a fascist move.
01:04:27.000 No, that wasn't fascist.
01:04:28.000 Yeah, it was buying part of a corporation.
01:04:29.000 Well, it no, because the corporation still has like their own agenda.
01:04:35.000 Well, like one of the things of it.
01:04:37.000 Yeah, 90% of it.
01:04:38.000 Nine so that's like that's not that's not fascism.
01:04:41.000 Like if you're a fas if you listen, if because in a fascist government, the fascists would the government would go and say, these are the things that the government wants, and you can stay in business and you can make profit and you can keep your property, but you need to work towards the ends that the government wants.
01:04:57.000 So if you have if you have 90% of your business that's working to do whatever you want and make profit for your your uh shareholders, and only 10% of the government is owned by the government, that's not the government controlling what you do.
01:05:12.000 Well, there's a a small part of that is being controlled, but but that's not fascism.
01:05:16.000 The police no, no, the partist or not fascist.
01:05:21.000 The point is in a fascist government, they demand that companies do what is do what the government wants them to do, work towards the same end that the government has.
01:05:33.000 If the companies have the freedom to do other things, to do whatever they want with 90% of their resources, and only a portion of it goes to the what the government at the ends of the government wants, that's not fascism.
01:05:45.000 It's just the government having a stake in the in the company.
01:05:48.000 But the uh it's not that a government is or isn't fascist, governments can have fascist aspects, and some of those are okay.
01:05:55.000 Hold on.
01:05:57.000 Okay, hold on.
01:05:57.000 Ian, what does fascism mean?
01:05:59.000 The way I think of it is corporate government collusion.
01:06:02.000 Like communism, you mean?
01:06:03.000 Similar.
01:06:04.000 But they use money to soft influence.
01:06:07.000 They don't actually own the stuff.
01:06:08.000 I mean, you could argue that you think it's communist to buy 10% of Intel, but it's it's more of like soft influence behind the paywall, basically.
01:06:16.000 What is that?
01:06:17.000 What do you mean?
01:06:18.000 It's not overt ownership, it's like control of corporations through media manipulation.
01:06:22.000 Fascist.
01:06:22.000 Fascism's so what you're saying what Trump is doing is communist.
01:06:25.000 Because they're not argue it is more communists than fascists, but it would technically be both.
01:06:30.000 I mean, you know, but the fascism is not a few.
01:06:31.000 Then what's the distinction between the two?
01:06:33.000 What's that?
01:06:33.000 What's the distinction between the two?
01:06:34.000 That in a communist state, the government would own the means of production, would own the companies.
01:06:39.000 Uh okay.
01:06:43.000 So fascism is when you own some of it, communism is when you own all of it.
01:06:46.000 Communism definitely when you own all of it.
01:06:48.000 You might be able to make the argument that fascism is a road to communism.
01:06:52.000 I mean, if they start to it's just he put it on the case.
01:06:54.000 I don't think you know what either of these words mean.
01:06:56.000 Well, I know that communism is state-controlled business, state owns the means of business.
01:07:00.000 So socialism is the economic structure of what you're referring to.
01:07:04.000 Communism is the political philosophy that encompasses the economic structures.
01:07:07.000 We all have to be able to do that.
01:07:08.000 Fascism together has a few different definitions, but it's largely a reference to authoritarian traditionalism.
01:07:14.000 Communism is authoritarian progressivism because totalitarian systems can take many different forms.
01:07:21.000 The communist philosophy largely was based on we are all equal, the blank slate.
01:07:26.000 The fascist ideology was largely based on the strong must survive, and there is No truth but power.
01:07:31.000 So that's the difference.
01:07:32.000 How your economy functions isn't necessarily a component of either of these ideologies.
01:07:36.000 No, it's I kind of agree with that, yeah.
01:07:38.000 But the Federal Reserve is a fascist function by giving the private company control of our monetary supply.
01:07:43.000 One argument was that fascism was the lucrative merger of corporation and state.
01:07:47.000 The only problem is that's just an economic system that could exist in in in any country, even if it's not totalitarian, if it has a strong culture.
01:07:55.000 So that's why I've never been a big fan of that definition as the whole of fascism.
01:07:59.000 What you find with the Italians and the Nazis when people took tend to describe fascism is that they were very much traditionalist, nationalist, authoritarian.
01:08:08.000 When you look at the communists, they were progressive, globalist authoritarian.
01:08:13.000 So one could make the argument, you know, Hitler wanted to rule the world.
01:08:17.000 Sure, the ideology for the Nazis is not necessarily fascism as as Phil was pointing out.
01:08:21.000 The general idea was ultranationalism.
01:08:23.000 And the communists were like, we will control everything.
01:08:27.000 Yes.
01:08:27.000 And everyone will be equal under the blank slate.
01:08:30.000 And labor is everything.
01:08:31.000 Yeah, and men and women are it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, it doesn't matter, you know, very much anarcho-tyranny-like.
01:08:39.000 Fascism was very much rigid, authoritarian hierarchy.
01:08:43.000 And uh, you know, it's a simple way to describe both of these ideologists as I suppose, especially when you look at the turn of the center, turn of the century.
01:08:51.000 Now, I think the problem we have in this country is all people can do is cite someone else.
01:08:58.000 Yeah.
01:08:58.000 Instead of, I don't know, make up a new word.
01:09:01.000 But we don't have that kind of academia, and and largely these ideas took decades to cement themselves in the psyche of the public.
01:09:10.000 So can we call what we're seeing today from uh the the US government communism or fashion?
01:09:16.000 I mean technically because there's similarities, but it's so different.
01:09:20.000 So people say gay race communism because they're trying to add qualifiers to justify how it what it is, even though it's somewhat different.
01:09:26.000 I think the reality is no one has not just written the academic paper with a new phrase describing it.
01:09:33.000 People have tried to claim it's called Trumpism.
01:09:36.000 Right.
01:09:36.000 And what is that?
01:09:37.000 Technocracy, but that's it's not it could be a neutral good thing.
01:09:40.000 You know, it doesn't have to be evil.
01:09:41.000 Like fascism, I think is evil by nature.
01:09:43.000 Why?
01:09:44.000 But it creates order.
01:09:45.000 Because it usually strips rights away from the common man and gives it to the central authority.
01:09:49.000 But what if everyone in a country likes that and they vote for it?
01:09:51.000 They've given it away.
01:09:53.000 You get Moussolini.
01:09:53.000 Oh, look, most of all right, so it's honest question, Chris.
01:09:56.000 No, you're fine.
01:09:57.000 Question for you, Ian.
01:09:57.000 Is communism evil?
01:09:59.000 I it's it's like a political philosophy, but it tends towards suffering.
01:10:03.000 So yeah, I think you said fascism was evil, right?
01:10:05.000 Yeah, I think it tends towards suffering.
01:10:07.000 And so communism is evil too.
01:10:08.000 Yeah, that's safe to say.
01:10:10.000 If there is a con if there's a nation of 500,000 people and they vote for communism, they go communist and then they all celebrate and cheer and they're ha hadn't never been happier.
01:10:18.000 Should we shut down their evil system or just let them do what they want?
01:10:21.000 Well interesting.
01:10:22.000 Uh I uh I guess it's like do no harm, you know.
01:10:27.000 But if they start infringing on your rights, you have to do something.
01:10:31.000 On whose rights.
01:10:31.000 On your rights.
01:10:32.000 I'm saying there's a country, you don't live in it.
01:10:34.000 They start spying on you.
01:10:35.000 They've got 500,000 citizens, they vote for communism, they they never leave, they're happy, they don't go to war with anybody, they grow their own food, they mind their own business, and they have a 100% happiness rate among the population.
01:10:46.000 That would be really good.
01:10:47.000 So is that evil?
01:10:48.000 Um I think communism is evil because it strips rights away from the individual.
01:10:51.000 Even if the people vote for it and they're happy for it.
01:10:53.000 Yeah, people can vote for evil and be happy.
01:10:55.000 And they're not affecting anybody or aggressing on anybody else, and they're all living in their communist utopia.
01:10:59.000 But when you centralize authority, those people tend to go nuts.
01:11:02.000 That's not my question.
01:11:02.000 Okay.
01:11:03.000 I'm asking if your hypothetical system functioned, you'd have like Bhutan.
01:11:06.000 The point I'm making is that what is evil about communism is that they force you into it with a gun to your head.
01:11:12.000 If if there was a fascist system where people were like, we want to build our own community just for people like us, where we're gonna have these rules and you don't get to vote, and they all say, we would like to enter into that system, and they don't aggress against anybody, they've consented to it, they live there, they're happy, there's no human rights abuses, it's just the government is in control and tells people what they can and can't do, and they say, We're happy with that.
01:11:32.000 It could work.
01:11:33.000 So is it evil?
01:11:34.000 The issue is not how people choose to live when they choose to live that way.
01:11:38.000 The issue is that fascists took it by force to for and and uh and abused people who didn't fit in.
01:11:45.000 And the communists largely do the same thing, take it by force, and in both of these systems, through the force, they enrich themselves at the top.
01:11:53.000 In the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, it was done not through force, it was done through legislation.
01:11:57.000 The fascists took the power.
01:12:00.000 Well, I think even if we're thinking about real-time examples of not communism or fascism fascism, but if we're looking at even like what's happening in Illinois where the rhetoric, the the story is just being changed.
01:12:11.000 I would I see often when I'm talking to people who live in Illinois who are still vo voting for Pritzker or things like that, they don't know, they don't know the truth.
01:12:19.000 They actually don't really know it because they're still citing sources like the Washington Post.
01:12:23.000 You know, they're reading what they believe is reputable sources.
01:12:26.000 And I think that when you start to change narratives and people can't make an educated decision like he said, they're not they're not choosing Pritzker from an educated place.
01:12:33.000 They're choosing Pritzker based on a narrative that they've been that's been implanted in them, and they feel confident in that narrative, but that narrative is not the truth.
01:12:41.000 And I think that when manipulation is implanted, that is when you have evil or inherent evil, like you said.
01:12:47.000 The NPC meme.
01:12:49.000 That that really describes these people.
01:12:51.000 And you know what?
01:12:52.000 If the NPCs don't want to go live in Venezuela and they're socialist utopia, then I got no problem with that.
01:12:56.000 Go do it.
01:12:58.000 In Slack, I just sent you a book about fascism.
01:13:00.000 You should take a look at it.
01:13:01.000 I want to pull up this story, though.
01:13:02.000 We'll jump to this from the post-millennial.
01:13:04.000 ICE arrests illegal immigrant from Guyana who served as Des Moines school superintendent.
01:13:10.000 Roberts entered the US on a student visa in 1999.
01:13:13.000 This is where the debate gets real interesting.
01:13:15.000 On Friday, ICE arrested a Guyanese national who'd been serving as a superintendent of Des Moines public schools, Ian Andre Roberts was found to be in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash, and a fixed blade hunting knife.
01:13:27.000 Officers approached Roberts and his vehicle after identifying themselves as immigration enforcement agents.
01:13:30.000 He allegedly sped away.
01:13:32.000 His vehicle was later discovered abandoned near a wooded area.
01:13:35.000 Roberts was taken into custody after Iowa State Patrol assisted in locating him.
01:13:40.000 He had a gun.
01:13:42.000 Let's see, uh Des Moines school board chair Jackie Norris in a statement.
01:13:45.000 Pursuant to the board approved DMPS leadership succession plan, Matt Smith Associate's superintendent will immediately step into the role.
01:13:51.000 Our priority is to provide a safe and secure and outstanding education for all students, blah, blah, blah.
01:13:55.000 Uh, oh boy.
01:13:56.000 This guy who's been here for 26 years, got hired to work in our government, government job, and then when he was approached by ICE, he fled armed.
01:14:09.000 This guy should be allowed to stay in our country?
01:14:11.000 No.
01:14:11.000 No way.
01:14:12.000 Send it back to South America.
01:14:13.000 I think it's also speaks to a lack of verification for people for people who actually win elections.
01:14:18.000 Like, we don't do much vetting at all of the people who win elections.
01:14:21.000 We don't do mental health vetting, actual health vetting.
01:14:24.000 Like, there's not much being checked for these people who win these elections.
01:14:27.000 Like, that's why you have a lot of people who are mentally unstable in Congress right now.
01:14:30.000 Like, why are we not checking more stuff?
01:14:33.000 Like, even for me, like I'm running in Congress for Congress, and I'm like, I was waiting for somebody to come and like, you know, ask me questions and say, like, hey, here's this thing you gotta fill.
01:14:40.000 No, there is nothing.
01:14:42.000 Anybody can run for Congress.
01:14:43.000 What do you think they should ask?
01:14:45.000 Or how do you think they should I think that your mental health should be assessed?
01:14:47.000 Like, but for my like for my husband, he's an officer.
01:14:49.000 His mental health has to be assessed by multiple and multiple stages of that, because he's going to be trusted to have a weapon and to go uh to you know apply the law.
01:14:59.000 Like for the Congress, they're writing legislation.
01:15:02.000 You know, like we need to know are you actually competent?
01:15:06.000 And why don't we know that?
01:15:08.000 Communist control act, too.
01:15:09.000 We should reinstate that.
01:15:10.000 What about if people have a medical marijuana card?
01:15:12.000 You say if you have one?
01:15:13.000 If if someone ran for office in one election, but they have a medical marijuana card.
01:15:16.000 Well, what do you have it for?
01:15:17.000 I mean, and I'm Mental Health.
01:15:19.000 What ask them for what?
01:15:22.000 The doctor actually asks you that question when you get the medical marijuana card.
01:15:25.000 Why are you back pain?
01:15:26.000 No, no, man.
01:15:27.000 I mean, no, no, man, it's stress.
01:15:28.000 Medical marijuana card is not to better my mental health, it's to worsen it.
01:15:33.000 I mean, I I'm not gonna speak on that one.
01:15:36.000 I just want to know if people aren't like you said, I don't want you there's there's some mental health concerns that probably don't make you viable to write legislation.
01:15:43.000 And I that's okay.
01:15:45.000 I think that that's a okay thing to say.
01:15:47.000 Like, well, I brought up weed because like red flag laws, things where they're like, hey, in the past you did this thing, you you you know, red flag laws.
01:15:54.000 Anything like you red flag laws is when they say we've determined that you're a threat to yourself and others, so we've come to confiscate your weapons.
01:16:00.000 Right.
01:16:00.000 So something similar like we've determined you're you are a threat to this or that, so you can no longer run for office, kind of something like that.
01:16:06.000 What where's that at?
01:16:07.000 Yeah.
01:16:07.000 That just the way if you're saying that's a good thing.
01:16:09.000 I'll be more so going for basic stuff, like be, you know, probably be a U.S. born citizen.
01:16:12.000 I think that's a real simple benchmark.
01:16:14.000 Be a US-born citizen.
01:16:16.000 I think because right now seeing Ilha Omar literally go to bat for Somalia from our capital blows my mind.
01:16:23.000 Yeah.
01:16:23.000 I think that you should be a U.S. born citizen to be in Congress.
01:16:26.000 Well, this is this is the heritage American argument that the left has called white supremacy.
01:16:31.000 Yeah, no.
01:16:31.000 But when you actually talk to these guys, like Tucker Carlson was was asked about this is hilarious.
01:16:36.000 He was uh in Australia and they said the the the the race, the white supremacists great replacement theory, and he's like, white people, and then they said, Well, you've argued that white people are being replaced, and he was like, No, I didn't.
01:16:48.000 He was like, I said that Americans are being replaced because the interests of black Americans are the same as the interests of white Americans, and they're being replaced by immigrants.
01:16:56.000 Yes.
01:16:56.000 I also love when he was still on Fox and he says, he goes, Black people, I don't have a problem with black people.
01:17:02.000 I have a problem with white liberal women.
01:17:04.000 And it's like just comes out and say it.
01:17:05.000 I I gotta say, Christian, I I fully believe with the hypothesis that you're stating that the popularity contest of voting and getting at office isn't good enough.
01:17:15.000 Just that you can whoever's the most popular guest.
01:17:17.000 So it's actually a money contest.
01:17:19.000 It's really it's not even about popularity because I'm more popular than Jonathan Jackson right now.
01:17:23.000 I'm way more popular than Jonathan Jackson.
01:17:25.000 He has more money than me though.
01:17:26.000 What's he using it for?
01:17:28.000 He's using it for Ubers.
01:17:29.000 I'm kidding.
01:17:30.000 What do you mean?
01:17:30.000 Well, maybe I think his last financial report had like 15k in Ubers.
01:17:34.000 Oh, so he's able to move travel around.
01:17:36.000 Yeah, like most of his campaign money goes to Ubers and Dinner.
01:17:39.000 Are you allowed to make I guess technically you could make a campaign commercial that seems to be like pro a candidate, but it's actually not.
01:17:48.000 So it's like you have it, you you like you you you make an AI commercial and you do this.
01:17:52.000 I think you've done a claimer or it's like this commercial is a generated.
01:17:54.000 And then it's be it's it's like he's he's just like a villain with twirling his mustache, being like, I'm going to destroy your eyes.
01:18:00.000 That would be awesome.
01:18:01.000 I did one like that for Fisker, and I was like, you know what?
01:18:03.000 I love I love going to my car and not knowing if it's gonna be there in the morning.
01:18:07.000 I I literally like man, that kind of excitement.
01:18:10.000 And I love getting paid and wondering how much of my check I'm gonna be able to keep.
01:18:14.000 Like how much is Priscilla let me keep this week?
01:18:16.000 Because I don't want to have enough to pay my bills.
01:18:18.000 Like I'm just you know, and the people like we're cracking up, and they're like, Yeah, this is like actually how we're living.
01:18:22.000 And it's like, yeah, this is how we live in.
01:18:23.000 I felt like the the rich people that you said with money can get you politics is that they use that money to buy popularity.
01:18:30.000 Yeah, or to make it appear.
01:18:31.000 Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's hard to do, but possible, and it's very expensive.
01:18:35.000 But that's basically politics.
01:18:36.000 Commercial because any words m most people at the highest level of politics, if they actually had the charisma, they wouldn't need to get into politics to get a seat in office.
01:18:44.000 Yeah.
01:18:45.000 So then what ends up happening is the people who actually want to get in to do the right thing aren't the people that are trying to sell you snake oil.
01:18:50.000 Yep.
01:18:51.000 It's like the Raja guy who's running in Illinois right now.
01:18:53.000 Like, literally, I cannot watch a single YouTube video without his ad coming out first.
01:18:57.000 Yeah, like this man has to be dumping money.
01:19:01.000 I can't, I can't avoid the ads.
01:19:02.000 I can't know it's he has the first spot on every video.
01:19:06.000 And he's like, Yeah, you know, my name has 26, my last name has 26 letters.
01:19:10.000 And if yours does, I'm not gonna say you're playing.
01:19:13.000 I was like, What?
01:19:14.000 Disqualified.
01:19:15.000 Who approved this campaign?
01:19:16.000 I I get along with Bernie Sanders when when he says get money out of politics, although it's a little hyperbolic exactly, like it's so undefined.
01:19:23.000 Because me talking right now is worth 1200 an hour.
01:19:26.000 I mean, this amount of publicity at least.
01:19:28.000 You can't you can't do it because let's say we there was a local race in town, and it was you know, Ian versus this local pastor who's lived in the town for his whole life, just by being on this show, no one's gonna hear who that guy is, and he can't afford it, and you're not spending any money to be here because you would use the money.
01:19:44.000 People would use the money to buy a seat on a show like this.
01:19:47.000 So it's like, well, we don't get money out of politics, but you can still make a YouTube video and have a million subscribers.
01:19:53.000 You know, I'll be honest, we don't allow people to pay to come on the show, but there are a lot of shows that do, and they are.
01:19:59.000 I'm not gonna call them out.
01:20:00.000 Sure, sure, yeah.
01:20:01.000 You booking agents.
01:20:02.000 It should be you need to bring back earned media, and that's one thing I think has really been great about my campaign is that all of the placements I've gotten have been earned.
01:20:09.000 They've been earned because I was, you know, I I said something that aligned for people.
01:20:13.000 Like I haven't paid for any of the you know spots that I've had, any of my accounts that have grown, it's been because people resonated with what I said.
01:20:20.000 So I think that for a lot of these politicians, like if you go look at all of Jonathan Jackson's pages, mine dwarf his, and it's because I'm relatable to the people in Congressional District One, but also Illinois.
01:20:31.000 Like Illinois understand my story.
01:20:33.000 He hasn't, he hasn't had any real struggles that are relatable to Illinois.
01:20:37.000 You know, the struggle of being a Nepo, like, okay, that's tough, I guess.
01:20:42.000 You know, you know, living in your dad's you know shadow, but it's like he's just not a relatable uh leader uh for Illinois, and that's why he, you know, he really does need to kind of relinquish the position and be voted out because Illinois is in dire need of true politicians who will actually do the work of writing relevant legislation.
01:20:58.000 This this uh democratization of uh media narrative with internet video is great for politics in a way, but at the same time, there's still the popularity contest where the most beautiful click button person will get without any substance.
01:21:12.000 It's possible still.
01:21:13.000 I don't know how to like you're saying like less human nature, so you can't get human nature out of it though.
01:21:17.000 And beauty helps a politician.
01:21:19.000 Even when they're in office, go do diplomacy overseas and things like that.
01:21:22.000 But charisma is also important for a politician.
01:21:25.000 So I think that you know, trying to get rid of charisma is not really the goal because at the end of the end of the day, if you're trying to get legislation pushed through that helps your your state, you do have to be able to employ people and get them on your side to actually vote for your bill.
01:21:40.000 Right now, if you go look at a lot of legislators like from your own state or wherever you all live, most of them are not getting any real legislation pushed through.
01:21:47.000 They're literally writing like 50 bills and like they're never even getting voted on.
01:21:51.000 Like, go look at what the stage that most of these bills are stuck at.
01:21:54.000 They're literally stuck at the beginning stage, never even left, got put on the floor to talk about.
01:21:59.000 Because there's no one to speak about the bill to the populace.
01:22:02.000 There's no one for charismatic enough.
01:22:03.000 Like Congress isn't even talking about the bill.
01:22:04.000 That's how bad it is.
01:22:05.000 Like they'll write a bill and then Congress isn't even talking about it.
01:22:07.000 That's what it's getting thrown in the back, but trash can.
01:22:10.000 That's what Congress wants, though.
01:22:11.000 They're not.
01:22:12.000 The less they have to do, the happier they are.
01:22:14.000 Because if you actually vote on something, then you're gonna be held to account by your your constituents.
01:22:20.000 If you don't do anything, then you can be like, well, you know, it was them darn Republicans.
01:22:25.000 Well, you know, it's them darn Democrats.
01:22:27.000 We couldn't do it.
01:22:27.000 And it was the Democrats being obstructions, the Republicans being obstructive.
01:22:31.000 So the the incentive is to not do anything except for the very like benign, simple things.
01:22:38.000 You might not be wrong.
01:22:40.000 It's true, man.
01:22:41.000 That's why that's why you see uh that's why there's always an omnibus bill.
01:22:44.000 That's why we always have such an issue.
01:22:46.000 Yeah, you know, and look, I mean, look, next next week there's the issue with whether or not there's gonna be a shutdown.
01:22:52.000 Democrats are gonna trying to blame Donald Trump and the Republicans are saying, Well, you know, if the Republicans would would just sit down and talk to us, just sit down and talk to us.
01:23:01.000 And the Republicans are like We're not giving you healthcare for we're not giving you health care for illegals, just pass the bill, just pass a clean CR, which is a continuing resolution to pay for it.
01:23:10.000 That's all they that's all they're gonna say is just pass a clean CR.
01:23:12.000 Pass a clean CR.
01:23:13.000 Just pass a clean CR without anything.
01:23:16.000 We're not giving you any kind of funding for for illegal health care, because that's what they want.
01:23:20.000 And the b they're gonna try and blame it on each other and be like, well, you know, it's their fault.
01:23:24.000 Well, you know, it's their fault.
01:23:25.000 And really at the end of the day, they're happy if if they don't have to put their name on anything.
01:23:31.000 So well, uh, I guess uh I guess somehow defying the popularity contest of politics.
01:23:39.000 I I'm I am concerned with people developing reasons why you can't do it if you're an American citizen.
01:23:46.000 Um like a stupidity test is like you know, it's been 200 years that we haven't allowed.
01:23:51.000 Intellect has to be we I don't know, I'm gonna start before the intellect.
01:23:54.000 Yeah, universal suffrage, I'm not a big fan of who gets to write these stupidity tests.
01:23:58.000 That's the problem.
01:23:59.000 That's that's fair.
01:23:59.000 And those old tests they would do were like trick questions.
01:24:02.000 But I believe there should be some kind of barrier for voting.
01:24:05.000 Yeah.
01:24:06.000 That's for voting.
01:24:06.000 That's different than running.
01:24:07.000 Okay, for voting, you know.
01:24:09.000 I don't know.
01:24:10.000 I saw that all the tests my husband had to go through, and that was a lot of evaluations just you know, to be an officer.
01:24:14.000 I'm like, if you go on to Capitol Hill, like they need to check these people more.
01:24:18.000 Like, I don't think this should be.
01:24:19.000 Could you imagine if like AOC was unable to get there?
01:24:22.000 Like she she won the election, but then they were like, you failed the test.
01:24:24.000 Don't even let them run, though.
01:24:26.000 I mean, like, don't even waste the time on running because then people lost their candidate.
01:24:29.000 Like, you know, if you I don't know, like it.
01:24:32.000 I think that it's a huge privilege to be able to go and represent a whole district.
01:24:35.000 It's 770,000 people in my district.
01:24:38.000 If I can't even comprehend their concerns, how could I ever represent 770,000 people if I can't comprehend what their concerns are and then what are the tools I can use to fix their concerns.
01:24:48.000 Well, how does Jasmine Crockett do it?
01:24:49.000 She's not doing it, she hasn't passed any legislation.
01:24:51.000 That's the point.
01:24:51.000 She hasn't had a single piece go through.
01:24:53.000 She can't comprehend what her constituents are.
01:24:55.000 No, and she doesn't even like her constituents.
01:24:57.000 She said multiple times that she doesn't think Texas should lead anything.
01:24:59.000 She hates Texas.
01:25:01.000 Where's she from?
01:25:02.000 From St. Louis.
01:25:03.000 She's not from Texas.
01:25:04.000 Oh, yeah, okay.
01:25:05.000 Yeah.
01:25:05.000 How long has she lived in Texas?
01:25:07.000 Just long enough to do that.
01:25:08.000 I think she moved there right before.
01:25:09.000 Yeah, she Well, you should I think you should have to live in your state for at least five years before you run for state office.
01:25:14.000 I'm not opposed to that.
01:25:15.000 At least five years.
01:25:17.000 I mean, because I mean, like for me, I'm like, I wouldn't, I actually wouldn't have met the five years because I was in Texas for four years, but I'm born and raised in Illinois.
01:25:24.000 I've lived my entire life from 35 in Illinois with the exception of four years.
01:25:28.000 So it's like I understand what's happening in Southern Illinois, which is why I get what's happening in the southern portion of my district, because the Will County and Kankiki County area is just like where I grew up.
01:25:37.000 You know, it's rural, it's slower pace.
01:25:38.000 You know, it's a lot of it's farming, and it's just it's working class people who just need for life to be a little bit more predictable because their income is predictable.
01:25:46.000 They get the same check every two weeks.
01:25:48.000 They can't afford for prices to just be skyrocketing.
01:25:50.000 And then you have the city life.
01:25:51.000 So it's like I I think it, yeah, you should have to live in your state and really get it.
01:25:54.000 Maybe it could be that you have to live in a state for eight years, and four of those years have to be consecutive up uh current, current and consecutive.
01:26:01.000 Not opposed to that.
01:26:01.000 How about you can't fundraise from outside your district where you're running?
01:26:05.000 I think that would disproportionately impact districts where it's a little bit more poor.
01:26:10.000 So, like right now, think about central Illinois.
01:26:12.000 Like if like those people would probably struggle if they couldn't.
01:26:15.000 But that means the candidates that are running in those areas are even.
01:26:19.000 AOC would not be in office.
01:26:21.000 Actually, there's merit to that.
01:26:22.000 Right.
01:26:22.000 Yeah.
01:26:22.000 So we we've had a discussion before because the squad famously, like 99% of the money they raised for the candidacy came from outside of their district.
01:26:30.000 So what ends up happening is this AOC does not represent her district.
01:26:34.000 So then how is it that she wins?
01:26:36.000 She represents commies all over the country.
01:26:39.000 Let's say you've got 100 cities.
01:26:41.000 99% of each of these cities is normal American.
01:26:45.000 But each city has one commie.
01:26:47.000 If you try to run to represent one of these cities, you can't win.
01:26:52.000 You'll you go knock on doors, say I'm a commie, give me money.
01:26:55.000 They say no.
01:26:56.000 So what do you do?
01:26:57.000 You go online and you tell all of the cities of the country, I'm a commie, you're a commie, give me your money and I'll win here.
01:27:03.000 They do.
01:27:03.000 All of a sudden, where you live, you now have more money than anyone else in your town, despite the fact none of them like your your politics.
01:27:10.000 You use that money to run ads.
01:27:12.000 These people don't know really what's going on, so they vote for you because they don't because you have money.
01:27:16.000 And then you that that's it literally AOC's story.
01:27:19.000 It is.
01:27:20.000 She does not represent her district.
01:27:21.000 She got tons of money from outside her district.
01:27:23.000 So did Illan Omar.
01:27:24.000 To be fair, she does represent the Somali community.
01:27:26.000 She does.
01:27:26.000 Yeah.
01:27:27.000 She's their candidate.
01:27:28.000 Right.
01:27:28.000 Illuminar Omar is a representative of her district.
01:27:31.000 But like right now, the person who's running against Jasmine Crock is Sheldon Daniels.
01:27:34.000 He's actually born and raised in that area.
01:27:35.000 Like he understands the plight of you know TX30.
01:27:38.000 And it's like those are candidates you should be seeking out, but it makes it so hard for the average citizen to go seek out a real candidate because like states like Illinois, they're gonna literally fight you tooth and nail, you know, on make on making these things happen.
01:27:50.000 And then in my state, also there's a really a real big lack of grassroots movement.
01:27:53.000 Like right now, we need people to come and knock doors.
01:27:56.000 But a lot of Illinois, like they're I I understand.
01:27:59.000 They're busier than ever.
01:28:00.000 You know, their time is short, and then right now they're probably uncomfortable because of what happened to Charlie Kirk.
01:28:04.000 The idea of going and knocking doors doesn't feel comfortable, especially in a district like my district.
01:28:08.000 When is your election?
01:28:10.000 The first election is primaries, and that's March 17th.
01:28:12.000 Um, and then you have the actual election, which is November 3rd.
01:28:15.000 But right now it's kind of like the pre-election, it's getting somebody on the ballot.
01:28:18.000 And I think that we need more Americans who understand how you even get to an election.
01:28:22.000 You have to actually sign petitions.
01:28:23.000 Like, I need 547 petitions signed.
01:28:26.000 They're they're real paper.
01:28:27.000 Because people keep asking me for a link.
01:28:28.000 I'm like, no, guys, it's not a link.
01:28:30.000 I'd be done with this if this was a link.
01:28:31.000 You know, you have to sign a real paper in person and it has to be notarized.
01:28:35.000 Oh man, you you you you got soldier field, don't you?
01:28:37.000 I think uh I don't think so.
01:28:40.000 I might have that.
01:28:41.000 You know, is it's I have a strip.
01:28:43.000 I have a strip in Chicago.
01:28:45.000 So the strip is real thing.
01:28:46.000 You gotta pull up the congressional map.
01:28:47.000 I looked it up, it looks like it might be.
01:28:49.000 Let's just double check.
01:28:50.000 It might be, but I've oh I missed that.
01:28:52.000 I don't know.
01:28:52.000 Nope, nope, nope, but then the seventh.
01:28:54.000 You just missed it.
01:28:55.000 So I'm like yeah, the way they gerrymandered my district, like I'll think that I have something, and I'm like, oh, it's literally on the border and it's right outside.
01:29:01.000 But yeah, we need uh for a lot of people to really understand the whole process.
01:29:04.000 Oh, it is it just missed it.
01:29:08.000 How do you get people to sign the petition that's notarized?
01:29:11.000 So they have to come see either a petition drive, they can print it at their own home and then or sign it at their own home, and then I have to come get it from them.
01:29:18.000 Um, but it is a pa it's a physical paper, and that part is pretty hard.
01:29:21.000 Yo, gerrymandering is so insane.
01:29:23.000 Mm-hmm.
01:29:24.000 It's a mess.
01:29:25.000 Illinois is one of the worst gerrymandered states.
01:29:27.000 Yeah, my district is they literally carved out as many Republican parts from my district as possible.
01:29:31.000 They took out Mount Greenwood, um, a lot of those areas where we're gonna be.
01:29:35.000 Let me pull me, let me pull it and take a look at it.
01:29:37.000 Look at this.
01:29:37.000 Look at how they carved out that big chunk right now.
01:29:39.000 Like the and so the the thing is when you see this strip in Chicago, it what's actually fascinating is we're talking about literally like four blocks right here.
01:29:47.000 Yeah.
01:29:47.000 That's crazy.
01:29:48.000 It's so skinny right there.
01:29:50.000 Wild.
01:29:52.000 They b they designed that district for a black candidate to keep it.
01:29:57.000 Woodlawn.
01:29:58.000 That's free.
01:30:00.000 I don't know how the right words.
01:30:01.000 That's that's like a really Illinois.
01:30:03.000 It's worse.
01:30:04.000 Yeah, or worse.
01:30:06.000 Oh man.
01:30:07.000 The the the Illinois congressional map is something to behold.
01:30:11.000 Yes.
01:30:11.000 Let me pull this up.
01:30:12.000 And and this is absolutely incredible when you look at this thing.
01:30:16.000 It looks like something my two year old would draw.
01:30:17.000 So take a look, take a look at 13.
01:30:19.000 13 is intentionally look at 15, how it wraps around it.
01:30:23.000 It's so they could get Champagne and Springfield and uh East St. Louis in one district, which clusters all the Democrats together to give them federal representation.
01:30:34.000 It's insane.
01:30:35.000 That's just look at 15.
01:30:36.000 I mean, that's that's like control R refresh.
01:30:40.000 Yeah, and think about the people in 12.
01:30:42.000 Like, how are they ever gonna have any access?
01:30:43.000 I was reading through the constitution, and I'm like, I feel like this is not constitutional because the people in 12 have little to no access to their representative.
01:30:50.000 How is a representative ever going to cover that much ground?
01:30:53.000 You don't have access to your representative, and that's a really key part of having a representative is being able to actually get to them into their offices and be able to make your representative.
01:31:01.000 Well, that's because by population.
01:31:03.000 And so Southern Illinois doesn't have that many people.
01:31:05.000 I I think largely the issue is when you take a look at 13 Democrats.
01:31:09.000 It's terrible.
01:31:11.000 And when Pritzker was challenged on it, he deflected with a joke and said, we give it to kindergartners to do.
01:31:16.000 Everyone laughs, and then it doesn't answer the question.
01:31:18.000 So he's he's got the nerve to attack Texas over over their redistricting.
01:31:22.000 But Democrat states are are substantially worse, like two to one.
01:31:26.000 Yeah, if you pull up an old map, it looks so like you I forgot how far you got to go back, but it used to look more sensible.
01:31:32.000 And I'm like, this is this is terrible.
01:31:34.000 You can tell that they they have to keep the district connected so they can't break it into two parts and say it's the same one district, but they're just abusing that rule.
01:31:44.000 Oh, yeah.
01:31:46.000 No, people it's it's so hard for me to tell people who like who lives in my district, and they're like, Well, I live in I live in Orleans.
01:31:51.000 I'm like, well, you might have living the part that I have.
01:31:54.000 Look at this.
01:31:54.000 Look at this 1833 to 1843.
01:31:57.000 Yeah.
01:31:58.000 Then we can then you get look at that population that exploded.
01:32:01.000 I have like the fact that I have three counties in my district makes no sense.
01:32:05.000 Look how they used to do it.
01:32:06.000 That's still reasonable.
01:32:07.000 It is.
01:32:08.000 That's reasonable, yeah.
01:32:09.000 Uh, even this.
01:32:09.000 That's not bad.
01:32:10.000 It's you know, let's see.
01:32:11.000 It starts getting weird.
01:32:12.000 Wow, they had a lot.
01:32:14.000 Still looking good.
01:32:15.000 That's cool.
01:32:16.000 It's it's it's still like you're like, okay, it's kind of weird what they're doing right there.
01:32:20.000 Yeah.
01:32:21.000 Yeah, but it's like it's you know, and then it starts getting weird.
01:32:24.000 Oh, now we've got some weird shit on the right.
01:32:25.000 What was that?
01:32:26.000 Yeah, look, here's the power struggle.
01:32:27.000 Wait, where's the civil war?
01:32:28.000 Let's go back to the civil war.
01:32:30.000 Uh so I guess it would be actually these two maps.
01:32:34.000 So this is into the start of the Civil War, it's not bad.
01:32:36.000 They changed it right in the middle of the Civil War.
01:32:39.000 So okay, I I was actually I I actually think that they'd go nuts with it.
01:32:43.000 This is actually not that bad.
01:32:45.000 Yeah, that's the thing.
01:32:46.000 1800s.
01:32:46.000 They had a lot of a lot more districts, huh?
01:32:49.000 Yeah.
01:32:49.000 They had 25.
01:32:50.000 When does it get real bad?
01:32:52.000 Okay, now it's starting to get bigger.
01:32:53.000 Look at Chicago.
01:32:54.000 Wow.
01:32:54.000 Yeah.
01:32:55.000 That's the 60s.
01:32:56.000 Late for the after the liberal economic order got involved.
01:33:00.000 Concentrating all those districts up there is like insane.
01:33:02.000 But you know what, you know what really irks me about the the Republican Party needs to get their their ish together.
01:33:08.000 Oh, that's it.
01:33:09.000 That's the year broke.
01:33:10.000 2000 after after 9-11, obviously, this is when everything just started to go.
01:33:15.000 One of the big problems I see with the Republican Party, I mean the Dem, and you know what?
01:33:20.000 Just like to be fair, Democrats and Republicans, both parties do this.
01:33:23.000 The Republican Party looks at Chicago and says, What's the point of trying to convince people because the Democrats have such a big lead?
01:33:29.000 And it's like that's where you want to be.
01:33:32.000 You want to you want to strike your message in the heart of their stronghold and force them to retreat back and try and maintain what they presume are presume to be a stronghold.
01:33:43.000 Instead of trying to win like these swing districts, which are always amorphous, send them for a loop.
01:33:50.000 Dump a couple million bucks in this district, have them caught off guard when they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, why are we down 10 points?
01:33:55.000 This is insane.
01:33:55.000 This is a D plus district.
01:33:56.000 Not anymore.
01:33:57.000 It's not No, I agree.
01:33:58.000 There's an org in Texas, I was asking Chad GPT, I was like, you know, who's had really great great ground game in like the last like decade.
01:34:05.000 There's an organization just for Texas called Battleground Texas, and their whole mission is to make Texas a battleground state.
01:34:12.000 They know that Texas is a Republican state, but their goal is to slowly erode it and to turn it into a battleground state.
01:34:18.000 Do you do think ground game?
01:34:20.000 They're like on the ground, like recruiting people to do like events and all types of things to start to really disseminate this whole, you know, democratic just like the the their mindset, like people by person by person.
01:34:31.000 So the the the black population historically, or I should say in recent history, votes Democrat very heavy.
01:34:38.000 Do you think the issue of immigration is gonna change the minds of these people to maybe vote Republican?
01:34:44.000 I think that it's something that opens their ears.
01:34:46.000 It gets the conversation started.
01:34:48.000 Because when they see that Democrats are literally rolling out the red carpet for people who are literally not American citizens and they're getting health care, schooling, all types of things.
01:34:56.000 It's like, well, why haven't you helped but he because that's what everybody says when they run, and it's like, well, you you could have been did it if you wanted to, clearly.
01:35:05.000 So I think that it allows people to start to be like, well, let me just talk about it.
01:35:08.000 Because there's a conversation I got started recently about uh the Barack Obama uh presidential center, which is causing displacement in my district.
01:35:16.000 So he's not paying any property taxes on his presidential center because he built it on parkland.
01:35:20.000 So this massive center will not add any property tax to sit to the city of Chicago.
01:35:25.000 But already let like uh historical bus or property owners in the district are seeing their property taxes literally double and triple.
01:35:32.000 And people who have owned buildings that they wanted their kids to live in are starting to lose their buildings because of this presidential center that's supposed to add to the community.
01:35:40.000 And it's like well, think about it, guys.
01:35:41.000 Is it really gonna add jobs to people who already live there, or is it going to import a whole new working class from all over the country and even other countries?
01:35:48.000 It's a research center.
01:35:50.000 If you if you go and campaign in your district, let's say you do like a debate or town hall, and you say, Hey, the Democrats are famously giving hotels to illegal immigrants and free health care.
01:35:59.000 I'll give it to you instead.
01:36:00.000 Is the Democrat really gonna be like, nah, you can't have it, illegal immigrants get it?
01:36:03.000 Or are they gonna be forced to come off their perch and be like, okay, you're right, we shouldn't do that.
01:36:07.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:36:08.000 I really don't know.
01:36:08.000 And it's like I really do hope it's a wake-up call for a lot of uh or even the independent voters, it's like, hey, you gotta really you gotta look at something different.
01:36:16.000 I've actually had some independent voters sign my petitions.
01:36:18.000 Um, because at this point they really it is a wake-up call for them.
01:36:21.000 The crime thing coming to their doorsteps is also a big wake-up call right now because it's coming to places it it's never come to before.
01:36:26.000 What when they get your petition, do they download it from a website?
01:36:29.000 I actually met these people in person, so I went and just walked around.
01:36:31.000 Like, I'm willing to go walk around and like get my petition signed.
01:36:34.000 Um it's not the safest thing, but I'm like, I'm willing to do it myself.
01:36:37.000 Tomorrow I'm actually going back um to do a walk in Homer Glenn.
01:36:40.000 Can people download your petition, get it notarized and bring it to you or contact you?
01:36:43.000 They can't get it notarized, they need to bring it to me and then I can get it notarized.
01:36:46.000 That's good.
01:36:46.000 Um, download it.
01:36:48.000 Do you race card a lot or do you just eyeball it out?
01:36:50.000 Because you seem like just an intelligent person.
01:36:51.000 I don't and like, do you go like black people, white people, or do you just talk to people?
01:36:55.000 I just talk.
01:36:55.000 I really just talk based on what is what feels common sense to me.
01:36:58.000 I that's all I do.
01:36:59.000 I just talk about what's common.
01:37:01.000 I ask questions that are on my mind, and I give takes based on what I see when I see crazy stuff happening.
01:37:06.000 See, that's the Republican thing.
01:37:08.000 Yeah, we just talk because these are real I think I think that what that's why our movement is much more genuine and much more aligned with the average American.
01:37:15.000 Yeah, because these are kitchen table conversations that we're all really having in real life.
01:37:19.000 Like Democrats posture so much and come up with these fake, you know, storylines like Kilmar being an a Maryland man.
01:37:26.000 It's like he's not, you know, like this stuff isn't real.
01:37:28.000 Have you seen this story?
01:37:29.000 We love citing this story.
01:37:30.000 Less competent interactions with Yeah.
01:37:33.000 White liberals present themselves as less competent in interactions with African Americans.
01:37:37.000 Yeah.
01:37:37.000 Conservatives don't do that.
01:37:39.000 No.
01:37:39.000 Conservatives talk to everybody the same way.
01:37:42.000 Liberals try to l like, have you ever seen the Amy Horowitz voter ID video?
01:37:47.000 One of one of the most legendary ministry videos ever done.
01:37:51.000 He goes to Berkeley and he asks these young white liberals, he's like, I've heard you know, voter ID is is racist.
01:37:56.000 Do you think it's racist?
01:37:57.000 And they're like, Yes, it is.
01:37:58.000 And it's like, why do you think voter ID is racist?
01:38:00.000 And these these white libs say things like black people don't know where the DMV is, they don't have the internet.
01:38:06.000 And then he goes to Harlem in New York, and then he's like, Do you think voter ID is racist?
01:38:11.000 And he asks black people and they're like, No.
01:38:13.000 And he's like, Do you have an ID?
01:38:14.000 And they're like, Yeah.
01:38:15.000 He asks this young black guy, and he's like, Do you have an ID?
01:38:18.000 And he goes, Yeah.
01:38:19.000 And he was like, Do you know how to use the internet?
01:38:20.000 And he goes, Now even little kid knows how to use it, use the internet.
01:38:23.000 But my favorite interaction is when he goes to his older black guy, and he's like, excuse me, so I have a strange question for you.
01:38:28.000 Do you know where the DMV is?
01:38:29.000 And he goes, Yeah, if you go up to 25th, you want to make a left.
01:38:32.000 Like he was asking for directions because the idea is so absurd that people who literally have jobs and live and pay rent don't know how to do the basic phone.
01:38:40.000 This is what liberals do.
01:38:41.000 It's gotta be the identity policy has gotta be injected by some foreign thing in the early 2010s.
01:38:50.000 This is why they're they're having dialogue about black people, and yeah, they're coming up with what they think black people do, and it's like that's not us.
01:38:57.000 It's well, I'm not gonna speak for all, but like they don't actually know real about people in real life, and that's why they have these like these conjured up conceptions about what we can and can't do, it's because they're not talking to them.
01:39:07.000 The ID thing really is crazy.
01:39:08.000 It's mind-blowing.
01:39:09.000 Because like everybody at as a teenager goes to get their ID.
01:39:12.000 And they also said about married women.
01:39:13.000 They were like, Oh my god, these these dumb married women, they're Their husbands, they don't even know where their marriage license is.
01:39:19.000 How are they ever?
01:39:20.000 It's their name is different.
01:39:21.000 They're not gonna know.
01:39:22.000 I'm like, I literally have to go get documents and things for my kids all the time.
01:39:25.000 I I know how to prove my identity.
01:39:28.000 Well, but you know, women don't know how to file paperwork.
01:39:31.000 Yeah, right.
01:39:32.000 People will say it.
01:39:33.000 You know what they're I'm sorry.
01:39:34.000 What they're actually saying with all of this is that straight white Christian men are the are superior.
01:39:40.000 Yeah.
01:39:40.000 Like that's the world they live in.
01:39:42.000 Yeah, they'll say that and you imprison women.
01:39:44.000 There's like a rhetoric where they go, black people are responsible for 30%, whatever the number is of the crimes.
01:39:49.000 Therefore, if you are a black person, you are 30 times more likely to know in the past that happened, so that stat is there, but there's a solution.
01:39:58.000 I think it's don't throw money at people.
01:40:00.000 It's people need uh nutrition because then your kids have healthier brain matter, and people that are like descendant of slavery that came out of that system that didn't have education and nutrition, they had babies that didn't have the brain capacity.
01:40:12.000 No, I'm not saying everybody, but and then so if you can help like legitimize the nutrition quality for people, I think that their their children's brains are much healthier, and they're so much of so much wrong with what you're saying in.
01:40:23.000 I think that it's still like if you think look at Chicago right now.
01:40:25.000 They actually teach these kids in like elementary school that like white people are suppressing them.
01:40:30.000 So when you have a child who's literally bred to think in school that white people are suppressing them, and there is nothing you can do to overcome that, that child grows up to think that white people are the enemy.
01:40:39.000 And then in Chicago, Chicago's segregated.
01:40:41.000 He can speak to this.
01:40:42.000 Everybody lives in their own neighborhoods.
01:40:44.000 So then black people also aren't having regular encounters with white people, so they just know what they were taught in school.
01:40:49.000 And other way around.
01:40:50.000 And then what ends up happening in these neighborhoods in Chicago is if someone from the one race is in the other neighborhood, everybody's like, why?
01:40:56.000 What are you doing?
01:40:56.000 I'm not even talking about I'm talking about poverty to get people out of poverty.
01:40:59.000 You gotta help them with nutrition because you don't get people out of poverty, people get themselves out of poverty.
01:41:03.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:41:03.000 People that was yeah, you people get themselves.
01:41:05.000 They thought if you threw money at them, they'd whatever, but if they're cheese, literal nutrition over generations.
01:41:11.000 Yeah, box of cheese.
01:41:12.000 We gotta we gotta get the story, and and it's gonna cut into super chests.
01:41:14.000 We gotta get it.
01:41:15.000 This is from Fox News.
01:41:16.000 Trump admin official physically assaulted at UNGA by deranged leftist.
01:41:21.000 The individual was charged with assault, attempted assault, aggravated harassment, and more.
01:41:25.000 This is this is crazy.
01:41:26.000 A Trump admin official was physically assaulted by a deranged leftist inside the UN Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly, Fox News has learned.
01:41:35.000 An official working in international relations for DH uh uh for HHS, uh serving in New York as a support role for RFK Jr.
01:41:44.000 Quote an HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, and physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security.
01:41:56.000 White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Thankfully the official is safe and the lunatic was arrested.
01:42:02.000 But this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.
01:42:09.000 Kelly told Fox News Digital that the US Secret Service will investigate how this violent protester was admitted into a major in in into a major national security event.
01:42:18.000 A source familiar told Fox News that the individual has been charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
01:42:25.000 Holy crap.
01:42:26.000 Wow.
01:42:26.000 The individual was released from custody at 7 30.
01:42:29.000 Oh, of course.
01:42:30.000 No Friday night and expected in court November 13th.
01:42:34.000 We gotta stop to come back.
01:42:40.000 I'm on a garbage barge.
01:42:41.000 There you go.
01:42:42.000 The UN walked out on Netanyahu during his speech.
01:42:44.000 Just a little tangent.
01:42:45.000 Send them all out.
01:42:46.000 Okay, but get them out.
01:42:46.000 Yeah, I don't really know.
01:42:47.000 The UK actually, I don't know if people even know about it, but you people were so mad about you know alligator what is it?
01:42:52.000 Alligator.
01:42:53.000 I'm like, if you literally look it up, the UK actually had their migrants on a ship, an offshore ship.
01:42:58.000 They had them on an offshore ship, and like we didn't make a big scene about it at all.
01:43:02.000 But the issue is that when they were uh they didn't want to keep releasing people back onto UK soil, um, to then say, Oh, I'm gonna be honorable and come back if you don't, you know, give me actually access to the country.
01:43:14.000 So they they were like exploring if they should put them on a ship.
01:43:17.000 And I'm like, this is we're not the only country who wants to keep track of people who have not been granted full access to America.
01:43:24.000 It's a normal thing to be like, hey, you gotta be in a holding status until you're I'm I'm sorry, I must have you I think you misunderstood me.
01:43:31.000 I'm not talking about illegal aliens or stuff.
01:43:32.000 I'm talking about the whole UN.
01:43:34.000 Get it out of New York.
01:43:37.000 The whole UN, get the you boot the UN out of the US.
01:43:40.000 The US stop giving the UN money, boot them out of New York City, tear all those buildings down, put up housing, put up something, put them all in there.
01:43:50.000 I don't care.
01:43:50.000 Make another Trump tower.
01:43:52.000 Get them out of here.
01:43:53.000 We don't need the UN in the United States.
01:43:57.000 Their goals are in opposition to what the United States goals should be.
01:44:01.000 We are America first now.
01:44:03.000 We are not UN first.
01:44:04.000 Get them out.
01:44:05.000 Beat it.
01:44:06.000 You gotta go.
01:44:07.000 You get it.
01:44:08.000 Can we can we like how insane is it?
01:44:10.000 I I grew up in Chicago.
01:44:11.000 I was always liberal.
01:44:12.000 And then what ends up happening is the Democrats are like, hey, we're gonna give free health care to non-citizens.
01:44:17.000 We're gonna let non-citizens vote.
01:44:19.000 We're gonna give them hotels with PlayStations in them.
01:44:21.000 And I'm sitting there being like, but what about the people who live here?
01:44:24.000 And they're like, that's far right now.
01:44:26.000 That is far right now.
01:44:27.000 And I'm like socialism.
01:44:29.000 I don't know what what needs to happen, but I was I was uh mentioning to uh Christian earlier that I was talking to my wife about who the guest was like, oh, guess and I just she's she's a Republican running in Chicago, my wife who's from Chicago, and also like liberal, she's like, Oh, thank God.
01:44:43.000 And I'm like we're we both me and my wife and I both grew up in Chicago, listening to punk rock music, rather rather liberal, kind of like you know, we had that anarcho-punk rock phase, and now here we are as adults being like Chicago needs to get away from the Democratic Party.
01:44:57.000 Well, here's the thing.
01:44:58.000 I think that for a lot of people, you are only as free as in order for freedom to exist, you have to have some type of structure around that allows for you to be free.
01:45:06.000 Like when you think about people who want to just live their life, it's really hard to live your life when your stuff's getting stolen.
01:45:11.000 Yeah, you can't really live your life when your kids aren't safe at school.
01:45:14.000 Amen.
01:45:15.000 I would know it's it's you know, you should have you gotta have infrastructure in order to even be free and to be liberal.
01:45:20.000 Like you you gotta have infrastructure.
01:45:22.000 That's why liberty doesn't work at the global scale because they don't account for outside the borders really.
01:45:27.000 I I was trying to find property in Chicago back when I was like in my early 20s with some friends and we wanted to we wanted to do business stuff, play music, and uh we were we were looking for property we can afford.
01:45:39.000 And it was like every time we found a building that was was nice enough to actually work and live in bars on the on the doors, and like That's why I don't have a district office.
01:45:50.000 You'd get the warnings of like, we'll make sure that you know everything the lights are all off and you're locked up.
01:45:55.000 You may want someone to be here overnight, and I'm like, I don't I don't think I want to be here.
01:45:58.000 No, it's not safe.
01:45:59.000 Ian libertarians do libertarianism doesn't work because libertarians are gay.
01:46:04.000 Is that G-H-E-Y?
01:46:05.000 No, G E A Y. No, I'm like, yeah, the Libertarian Party is overwhelmingly.
01:46:10.000 They're all live and let live, but you know, you need struct like Christian, you were saying, you need an outside fence around your live and let live energy, which is our military pointing the guns outward to defend our borders.
01:46:21.000 No, they don't hard that's like there's a there's too many libertarians that don't even want borders.
01:46:26.000 Yep.
01:46:26.000 There are too many libertarians that say no, there should be freedom of movement.
01:46:29.000 People should be able to be free to move.
01:46:31.000 Well, then that's just not libertarian.
01:46:32.000 I think that people don't know the definitions of a lot of these titles that they've given themselves anymore.
01:46:36.000 And that's that's getting real weird.
01:46:38.000 There are a lot of leftists in the Libertarian Party that have in my opinion infiltrated the left libertarian party and taken and baby basically bastardized it.
01:46:48.000 I think structure and order people take for granted because we've lived in a structured and ordered society for so long.
01:46:53.000 We need it.
01:46:54.000 It's so important.
01:46:56.000 I was thinking the other night, I I live in the woods and looking into the dark woods, thinking if this was 6,000 years ago and it was raining, I was crawling through the woods to survive, and I found a a walled village, and they were like, you can come in.
01:47:06.000 And I'm it's like that, but you have to drink this blood and kill this child.
01:47:10.000 I'd be like, I'd have to make that decision.
01:47:13.000 It's like, do I want to live in the woods and die, or would I accept the horror to have order?
01:47:19.000 And order, order is so much more important when you're dying and you're desperate.
01:47:24.000 Like the things people are willing to do to main to regain order to get order when they don't have it.
01:47:28.000 That's why we can't let it fall, and it's important to protect our borders.
01:47:31.000 Would you like to come back Monday?
01:47:34.000 Cities.
01:47:34.000 Well, no, but then on a real note, this is why leftists are going and get it.
01:47:37.000 Well, he was being serious.
01:47:38.000 I know, but arming themselves because they're trying to go get order for what they want, and they've been they've been overwhelmingly starting to arm themselves.
01:47:46.000 That's why you see like their there's like pages for like, you know, gay leftists that are like they love second amendment rights because it serves their own.
01:47:52.000 Well, we'll throw this in.
01:47:53.000 We don't we don't have enough time to do, you know, all of it, but there's this this poster right here.
01:47:56.000 Yeah.
01:47:57.000 Hey, fascist catch.
01:47:58.000 The John Brown Club Is recruiting on college campuses by saying kill conservatives.
01:48:03.000 Yep.
01:48:03.000 The second amendment is not instructing you to go do stuff.
01:48:06.000 No.
01:48:06.000 It's allowed, it's giving you uh acknowledging your right to defend yourself.
01:48:09.000 That's what that means.
01:48:10.000 Defense defense is not offense, although sometimes people say the best defense is a good offense.
01:48:14.000 Not really, not legally.
01:48:16.000 It is the right.
01:48:16.000 The liberal economic order was like, let's go blow people up.
01:48:18.000 Let's build NATO surround Russia with defense of turrets pointing at Russia.
01:48:22.000 It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it is a part of the Declaration of Independence.
01:48:29.000 So yes, it is it is prescriptively defensive, but it is also intended to allow people to use force to change the government if the government has become destructive of the what makes the populace happy.
01:48:45.000 That's in the in the in the declaration of the Abe Blinken, you can't make everybody.
01:48:49.000 Some of the time, but not at all.
01:48:51.000 In the declaration, listen, I named us I named a song, some of the people all the time because of that exact phrase.
01:48:56.000 So I know what you're talking about.
01:48:57.000 But the in the declaration of of independence, it says whenever govern whenever any government becomes dis destructive of these ends, the it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
01:49:08.000 And that is the point of the second amendment.
01:49:10.000 So that people do they feel like the government has become destructive of that with ice with the ice raids?
01:49:15.000 There are people that think so.
01:49:16.000 They're wrong because we have law because they have representation and they have we have laws and we have borders.
01:49:23.000 So the people that are that feel like they are they are they that ice is out of line are wrong and they're throwing tent temper tantrum.
01:49:35.000 They're not correct, and if they have a problem, they do have representatives that they can petition and they have redress of grievance, and obviously they are still allowed to protest outside of ice facilities, so it's not time for for violence at all.
01:49:52.000 It's not even close to time for violence.
01:49:54.000 The people that are engaging in violence are wrong, and they should be wrapped up and put in jail because I like America the way that it generally is.
01:50:03.000 Well, right now I'm pretty concerned about the way America is, but I do understand your point.
01:50:08.000 We like we like the way America is designed to be.
01:50:12.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:50:12.000 And and and and the you know, from the foundation of this country, there were a lot of really bad things, and the people have abolished those bad things and moved towards good things.
01:50:22.000 And now we have this sect of woke left which wants to bring back the bad things.
01:50:26.000 They want to harp on it so heavy.
01:50:29.000 Like segregation, for instance, is a huge proponent uh component of of wokeness where they do these segregated graduations.
01:50:35.000 They I don't know if you saw in like in in uh uh Seattle they had per POC library meeting and non-POC, so it's like it's just I don't want to live that way, man.
01:50:46.000 No, like I can't live that way.
01:50:48.000 My my big obsession is how the Constitution got pinholed.
01:50:51.000 I think Tim you referred to it as Swiss cheese a couple times.
01:50:53.000 It's like pinholes in the first amendment and the fourth amendment.
01:50:55.000 I was gonna throw my little finger on it.
01:50:56.000 Oh, bro, bro.
01:50:57.000 And then all of the amendments.
01:50:58.000 All of the amendments.
01:51:01.000 No, yes.
01:51:02.000 Okay, okay.
01:51:03.000 I'm sorry.
01:51:04.000 I rescinded all of the amendments have been mercilessly beaten except the first and the fourth.
01:51:10.000 Well, the first with corporatization and internet now, uh Apple or not Apple, but uh Google's parent company alphabet can turn off your what I kind of think this is the commons.
01:51:18.000 So many people use it and have access to it, the internet, social media.
01:51:21.000 Well, that that that this that's the thing you have to cons you have a personal opinion about the the modern internet as it being the commons.
01:51:30.000 The fact of the matter is you don't have to use any of that stuff.
01:51:35.000 You don't have to.
01:51:36.000 My favorite amendment is the seventh.
01:51:38.000 Why?
01:51:38.000 It's the you know what it is?
01:51:40.000 No.
01:51:40.000 It's the one that says you have a right to civil civil uh trial for uh things uh for uh items of value of $20 or or more.
01:51:47.000 Because back then they were basically saying like when will the public hold a trial over private matters?
01:51:54.000 20 bucks back then, I think was like 250.
01:51:56.000 So they're like at least 250 bucks.
01:51:58.000 Now it's literally a cheeseburger and you can go to court because if because of inflation.
01:52:02.000 But there was no federal reserve back then, so 20 bucks was different.
01:52:05.000 Well, they need to change that to 250?
01:52:09.000 No.
01:52:09.000 Well, you gotta amend the Constitution.
01:52:11.000 Yeah.
01:52:11.000 We don't need an amendment for that.
01:52:13.000 No.
01:52:13.000 We're good.
01:52:13.000 My favorite is, so first, the Tenth Amendment doesn't exist anymore.
01:52:19.000 Tell me.
01:52:19.000 That's the the the right of the states is retained by the states.
01:52:22.000 So um power is not given to the federal government, belong to the states.
01:52:25.000 But this is actually an interesting question because the the way the constitution was supposed to work was that it pertained only to the federal government and the states' constitution pertained to the states.
01:52:34.000 But after the Civil War, when we became a unified nation, the federal constitution effectively over w was overriding everything.
01:52:41.000 And so that the 10th is gone.
01:52:43.000 And the so the issue is like the second amendment wasn't wasn't supposed to be this thing where no matter where you were in the country, you could have a gun.
01:52:51.000 It was the federal government can't take your guns.
01:52:55.000 But if Illinois decided they could, Illinois could.
01:52:58.000 We've changed that now, and we've we've basically the whole country is under the federal constitution.
01:53:02.000 Yeah.
01:53:03.000 So I take a look at the Bill of Rights, and the first and the fourth are probably the most protected.
01:53:07.000 Oh, the fourth is every text and uh email you sent is being recorded.
01:53:12.000 It's being stolen and sent to a central database of a private company.
01:53:16.000 That is blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment.
01:53:18.000 And the rest of them are worse.
01:53:19.000 The rest of them are worse.
01:53:20.000 We do got to grab Rumble Rants and Chats, because I know we went a little long.
01:53:24.000 So smash the like button, share the show, uh subscribe to this channel.
01:53:28.000 We got Prin Prinz uh Prinzi, Russian oil crisis, Russian media has been reporting gas shortages due to Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries.
01:53:37.000 What does this mean for the war in Ukraine?
01:53:38.000 Could this topple Putin's reign?
01:53:40.000 One could hope.
01:53:41.000 It's funny to me that people are like they make they try to make the claim that Russia is somehow like the last bastion or of you know, anti-woke or whatever.
01:53:50.000 And I'm like, he's he's he's an autocrat.
01:53:52.000 I don't know, like he's been he's he's he's used he's juggled power in his country.
01:53:56.000 He's not a good guy.
01:53:57.000 He invades other countries.
01:53:58.000 You don't gotta pretend that he's a good guy because you don't like what what Europe is doing.
01:54:02.000 Yeah.
01:54:02.000 Uh I like Trump, not Putin.
01:54:04.000 Yeah.
01:54:05.000 Yeah.
01:54:06.000 Very clear distinction.
01:54:07.000 I like what they talk.
01:54:08.000 I like when war stops.
01:54:10.000 Yeah.
01:54:10.000 And so I'm like, wow, if if the strikes and if if you Ukraine wins this, then I'll be like, okay, whatever, just stop.
01:54:16.000 You know what I mean?
01:54:17.000 Like however.
01:54:17.000 All right, Chin H. Wilder says if these people want a riot, then I'm fine with bringing the National Guard into every one of these cities to curtail things.
01:54:24.000 It sucks, but as Ben Franklin said, or a public, if you can keep it.
01:54:27.000 But he also said those that would give up their freedom for a little bit of security deserve neither freedom nor security.
01:54:32.000 Indeed, he did not.
01:54:34.000 It's not about security.
01:54:35.000 That was a misquote.
01:54:36.000 I think the National Guard should only be put into play when states are literally saying we're not going to protect you.
01:54:40.000 So, like with Brandon Johnson and him saying it's not about policing, it's about affordable housing, he's declining to protect people who are being raped and robbed.
01:54:47.000 So, with that being the case, it's like you can't just let people be raped and robbed.
01:54:51.000 So he's it's actually literally within the confines of bringing in the National Guard because the people are not being guarded on U.S. soil.
01:54:58.000 I am being pedantic again.
01:54:59.000 I am being pedantic.
01:55:01.000 Yeah.
01:55:02.000 Temporary.
01:55:03.000 They would they would give up temporary So he says essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
01:55:10.000 The reason why that's important is because we are not talking about temporary safety.
01:55:14.000 The argument he made is apt.
01:55:17.000 It's if you are concerned about a one-off incident, like you know that an enemy is coming from overseas, so you give up all your freedoms for that one thing.
01:55:25.000 That's stupid.
01:55:26.000 But if we're talking about an a war that is going to be enduring for some time, and we are saying that we have to engage in wartime affairs, you'd be a moron not to do it.
01:55:39.000 The fifth chair with us right now, what he would say.
01:55:41.000 Yeah, I imagine you were.
01:55:44.000 That's fine.
01:55:46.000 Love it.
01:55:47.000 Love it.
01:55:49.000 Uh but the general idea is I don't want masked individuals marching through cities, cops, you don't know who they are.
01:55:57.000 However, I also don't want far left people doing the exact same thing.
01:56:00.000 I gotta make a choice.
01:56:01.000 Antifa with masks on, firebombing things and threatening to murder me.
01:56:05.000 Cops and masks walking around the street not saying anything to me.
01:56:07.000 I'll take the cops and masks.
01:56:09.000 Yep.
01:56:10.000 Why?
01:56:10.000 Like I I don't want either.
01:56:12.000 I don't want either.
01:56:13.000 But that that's the issue with Ben Franklin and the importance of saying temporary.
01:56:17.000 If the issue was tomorrow there will be a major storm, and you say, I will give up all my liberties for this.
01:56:22.000 Like, well, that that's dumb.
01:56:23.000 There's also but if we said we are about to enter a period of warfare for which we don't see an end, ever or but better yet, a zombie apocalypse occurs.
01:56:31.000 And they say we are going to build a perimeter around our building, no one can leave, and you go, I'm not giving up my freedom for a little security.
01:56:38.000 It's like then get out.
01:56:39.000 Then you're dead.
01:56:40.000 So there's a limit and a challenge, and I think people often misunderstand the full context of what he's trying to say.
01:56:48.000 That if there's a threat of one sort that we need to create another threat to destroy it or stop it, there could be another way.
01:56:55.000 And that's just with the Antifa, the ICE, and then there may be, you know.
01:57:00.000 Here's the funny thing.
01:57:01.000 The context was actually extremely specific.
01:57:03.000 And it was about uh the governor of the on the Penn family's orders vetoing attacks on the Penn family lands to front fund frontier defense.
01:57:11.000 Franklin argued that the Penns in prioritizing their financial assets, temporary safety, over the common defense, essential liberty deserved neither.
01:57:19.000 It's actually an inversion.
01:57:21.000 He was arguing that they were refusing to help fund war effort and be involved, and they were giving up their they were sacrificing liberty for their temporary safety.
01:57:34.000 I love that guy.
01:57:36.000 All right.
01:57:36.000 Patriot Palin says, I'm surprised Phil didn't say that's right.
01:57:39.000 The left lane is for crime when Christian says she stays out of the left lane.
01:57:44.000 It's definitely it's the crime lane.
01:57:46.000 It's for sure the crime lane.
01:57:48.000 Especially in Chicago.
01:57:49.000 Yeah.
01:57:50.000 Omega Ratsetsu says, Tim, screw you, taxation is theft.
01:57:53.000 And prior to taxes, we had cobblestone roads, which were more expensive, and it's not justified.
01:57:57.000 I'm willing to debate you on the immoral demerits of taxation.
01:58:00.000 My point is that right now in our country, we may be upset with the structure of the law, and it is the duty of a culture and people to change that.
01:58:08.000 And the idea that we would just say, you can decide for yourself what rule to follow and what and not, I disagree with that's what the left has been doing this whole time.
01:58:17.000 However, that being said, I certainly agree with you that there is a limit to which just because it's legal doesn't mean it's a it should be allowed, and we'd have to do something about it.
01:58:25.000 The challenge for any and all people is when those moral lines are fractured between the body politic, where we have the left now saying, your constitutional republic is evil and must be destroyed, and we are saying our constitutional republic is good and must be preserved.
01:58:37.000 They are arguing we have become tyrannical and must be destroyed.
01:58:41.000 I am arguing they are an invasive force that is seeking to subvert our country.
01:58:45.000 And so it will always come down to who thinks they're right and who has the power to maintain their system.
01:58:51.000 In this case, I don't like taxes.
01:58:54.000 I don't agree with the idea that people should be imprisoned because they didn't pay it.
01:59:00.000 Usually it's just you get a bill in the mail.
01:59:04.000 That that was the point.
01:59:05.000 Hey, look, man, here's your bill.
01:59:07.000 Here are the rules we agree to, and then we should we should change those.
01:59:11.000 I think one of the challenges we have is that the entrenched government doesn't allow for these systems to change.
01:59:15.000 Once people get into office, they look at the tax income and they go, Oh, we really need that.
01:59:19.000 Yep.
01:59:19.000 And who wants to give up free money they can take from other people by force?
01:59:22.000 Trump talked about getting rid of income tax early on.
01:59:24.000 Oh yeah.
01:59:25.000 I think that's a viable thing.
01:59:27.000 I think that'll be good.
01:59:29.000 And just do tariffs.
01:59:30.000 I think that it incentivize someone.
01:59:31.000 I look at like I said, I'm always looking at Chicago.
01:59:33.000 Chicago has been become so dependent on taxes and fees.
01:59:36.000 So everything is a fee, everything is a fine, and everything is taxes.
01:59:39.000 They don't even think about the business opportunity of Chicago anymore.
01:59:42.000 That's why they're not looking at trying to be trying to welcome entrepreneurs, trying to welcome corporations.
01:59:46.000 They don't even care about corporations anymore.
01:59:48.000 They only care about people's bodies, how much they can work, and how much they can be fined.
01:59:53.000 So it it really re it removes ingenuity or the incentive to be uh to be creative from leaders when all they can do when they just rely on taxes.
02:00:01.000 They don't have to actually work at the job.
02:00:04.000 So the loop area in Chicago is so beautiful.
02:00:07.000 It's beautiful.
02:00:07.000 It's a very marketable city.
02:00:08.000 Even working nine to five down there was it was so refreshing to look out the window and see another building, but the sunlight coming off the lake and the the fresh and also the connective tissue of the subway system of the city.
02:00:18.000 Well, the connective tissue.
02:00:20.000 Yeah, the brown line to the red line.
02:00:22.000 Living.
02:00:22.000 It is living though.
02:00:23.000 I do agree.
02:00:24.000 And I think that it just needs to the multiple areas of the city have been um just left to rot.
02:00:29.000 Um, but that rot costs money.
02:00:31.000 Like this, the schools that Rami Manuel closed like a long time ago, they're still sitting there in Chicago still paying fees and money every month to keep them like n from tumbling.
02:00:40.000 So it's like you have these schools that are closed, CPA, you know, CPS doesn't, or CPS doesn't want to let charters use them.
02:00:46.000 So it's like all this just dumb bureaucracy that keeps Chicago in a f just a financial deficit because they're not trying to be creative at all.
02:00:53.000 Here's an interesting one.
02:00:54.000 Uh Jared says DoorDash in the North Suburbs has started random, random identity checks, forcing you to scan your face before starting a session.
02:01:01.000 Started about a month ago.
02:01:03.000 I think we have something to do with that because I got some kind of I can't remember what happened.
02:01:07.000 We were talking I was I was complaining about this because our security is very tight.
02:01:11.000 And so when we order DoorDash and a stranger pulls up, we're like, goodbye.
02:01:15.000 If we're not expecting you, you can't be here.
02:01:17.000 And we've had a bunch of security incidents that I can't even get to talk about without compromising car, so I won't, but people start getting pissed off.
02:01:24.000 And the problem has seemed to have largely stopped.
02:01:26.000 People pull up and we have our security guy who walks up to the car and says, What can I do for you?
02:01:31.000 And they're like, I have a door dash for, you know, insert name.
02:01:34.000 And they say, do you have some ID on you?
02:01:36.000 And they'll go, for what?
02:01:38.000 And then we're like, because no one's allowed to enter or make deliveries unless we know who you are and why you're here.
02:01:42.000 And then they go, okay, and they show their ID.
02:01:44.000 I would say since the past month or so, people have just been like, sure.
02:01:49.000 And they just show their ID and then we've had no problems.
02:01:51.000 But the thing is what really bothered me is Doordash doesn't give you the full name either.
02:01:56.000 So if there's someone named Jim, he can let anybody named Jim Jim S. Exactly, Jim S. Do they give you um although it mostly deals with the problem?
02:02:04.000 The license plate number.
02:02:05.000 Do you get a license plate number?
02:02:06.000 Oh really?
02:02:07.000 Uber does license plate.
02:02:08.000 Exactly.
02:02:09.000 I I I am irked.
02:02:11.000 So we basically stop DoorDash.
02:02:12.000 Like we we've Uber Eats is the way we don't we don't use any of it anymore.
02:02:16.000 Wait when you do Uber Eats it shows you the license plate number yeah I think all Uber stuff is a license plate.
02:02:20.000 I mean that would be great.
02:02:20.000 We basically have been winding down doing any of that and just been relying on pickups now and and going out personally because it's become very insecure.
02:02:27.000 It's incredibly insecure who knows like some weirdo pulls up and says here's your food and then here's the problem if I order food I know when food is coming.
02:02:36.000 Yeah I can see it on the end.
02:02:37.000 But sometimes we order food for for the for the office and then you know I'll I'll buy like 400 bucks in Taco Bell and then everyone comes like ravenous rats and just that would be me.
02:02:47.000 What would happen if someone pulled up and said here's a food delivery somebody working here thought it was a it was for the office and then people started eating it and it was tampered with because they didn't know.
02:02:57.000 So that's why we told everybody like it's got to be confirmed all that stuff.
02:03:00.000 But that uh just about does it my friends it's been a blast thanks so much for hanging out we're back of course throughout the uh weekend with clips then we're back on Monday it's going to be great.
