In this episode, we discuss the latest in the Joe Biden scandal, and why you should vote for Joe Jorgensen instead of Joe Biden. Plus, we talk about why we should all vote for a third party candidate.
00:00:49.000You know, so the New York Post puts out this story, and they're like, here's an email showing that this guy is saying, thanks for introducing me to your dad, Hunter Biden.
00:00:57.000Thanks for the opportunity to meet and spend time together.
00:01:00.000And then all of a sudden I hear from these leftists and these journalists, well, the story's not verified.
00:01:04.000And I'm like, since when do we ever wait for a news organization to get third-party verification to determine whether or not we allow it to exist?
00:01:12.000Then all of a sudden we saw the Washington Post come out saying Rudy Giuliani is part of, is a victim of a Russian smear campaign, disinformation campaign.
00:01:21.000Then Facebook and Twitter banned the story outright.
00:01:23.000Then they put warning links on a government website.
00:01:27.000The entirety of the establishment is freaking out over these emails, and they're only getting worse.
00:01:33.000And now Rudy Giuliani is saying 10 days before the election, he's gonna drop something even bigger.
00:01:40.000We'll see how things play out, but I think it's fair to say the establishment in all its forms, from Wall Street donors to big tech to the mainstream media, they are in a panic over this.
00:01:52.000And I will say, though, however, the New York Post is fairly mainstream media, to be honest, so it's just weird goings-on.
00:01:57.000We can see where the Democrats have their allies and where they don't.
00:02:00.000But we're going to talk all about this today.
00:02:35.000The party overall, the fact that they have some very far left libertarians in the party and they are making space for people that really don't acknowledge property rights, which I think is fundamental.
00:02:52.000You know, that's a that's a big party problem.
00:02:58.000I voted for Trump in 2016 because I did not Want to see Hillary Clinton win a little side.
00:03:06.000At the time I was married and my ex-wife had security clearances and stuff like that.
00:03:12.000And had my ex-wife done what Hillary Clinton had done, they'd have thrown her in jail with you know, there wouldn't have been any kind of They would have epoxied the bars.
00:03:51.000I'm not the guy that thinks that one vote is going to change anything, so my voting for Jorgensen is really a conscience vote, because if I had my way, we'd have a much smaller government.
00:04:03.000But that means you're voting for Trump.
00:06:12.000He's only saying that to help Trump and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:16.000But if Spencer is honest about his white nationalist goals, which I don't see any reason to think that he's not, he definitely didn't get out of Trump what he was hoping to get out of Trump.
00:06:29.000Trump passed no legislation that benefited the whites, you know, so...
00:06:47.000And if you if you understand it like that, it makes sense.
00:06:50.000The guy that's going to be saying it's OK to have critical race theory all over the place and hopefully have more white people being aware that they're white and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:58.000You know, it's it's in my opinion, it's a terrible thing.
00:07:00.000That's not how you base someone's value.
00:07:03.000But It makes sense if you're a racist that's like, well, who's going to go ahead and make people think about race a lot?
00:07:11.000You know about repealing Prop 209 in California, right?
00:07:15.000We talk about it quite a bit because it's probably one of the most shocking bits of legislation we've seen coming from the Democrats.
00:07:20.000It's Prop 16, repeal Prop 209, and it strikes the civil rights legislation from the California Constitution pertaining to public employment, contracting, and education.
00:07:29.000So if you have Donald Trump, who says it is a violation of civil rights law to tell people that certain races are better or worse.
00:07:53.000Yeah, you know, and I've had, again, conversations with people that I'm friendly with, and they either are unaware of what the implications of repealing that law are, or they just say, oh, I don't think that that's going to happen.
00:08:10.000There's a lot of people that are, you know, and I understand not everybody's extremely online.
00:08:15.000I qualify as an extremely online person, fair enough.
00:08:19.000But just because everyone isn't extremely online doesn't mean that, you know, that they're wrong, you know?
00:08:24.000And brushing off something isn't a good idea.
00:08:27.000You know how they like to push that narrative of, like, the white supremacists everywhere and, like, the evil white supremacist militias are coming?
00:08:34.000So I have, like, I've asked friends and I'll say, which do you think is more dangerous?
00:08:43.000Because they're Nazis, they're white supremacists, all that stuff.
00:08:45.000I say, okay, so you think there's a prominent faction of, like, white supremacists, militant people going around.
00:08:50.000And they're ready to take power, and they're gonna go to war, and they're fighting for Trump, and all that stuff, and they're like, oh, you know it.
00:08:54.000So don't you think that if you repealed the law that made it illegal to discriminate based on race, these rampant white supremacist organizations would take advantage of that, and then start creating white-only spaces?
00:09:06.000They're like, well, I mean, I don't know.
00:09:08.000I'm like, well, but there's a bunch of these people, right?
00:09:41.000I thought that there were still affirmative action laws in.
00:09:44.000I don't know to what extent they do it, but what they're arguing is that the repealing of Prop 209, it's called the affirmative action bill, repeal Prop 209.
00:09:53.000And I laugh because every every every activist website and every voter information database says this bill will make it legal to have affirmative action.
00:10:01.000And I'm like, You could write this bill and make it legal to have a white-only government building.
00:10:06.000It does the exact same thing, but they choose which one to highlight.
00:10:10.000Instead of giving the voters the information about what they're voting on, they cherry-pick the most, you know, the one that sounds good!
00:10:16.000You could even say, this one helps the state, you know, do away with evil racism.
00:10:32.000I've heard people make the state's rights argument, which blows my mind because I'm like, you're making a state's rights argument about racism.
00:10:43.000You realize that we had a war about that, right?
00:11:02.000When Jo tweeted this, she tweeted that slogan, it's not enough to not be racist, we must actively be anti-racist.
00:11:10.000Clearly she doesn't know what she's saying.
00:11:11.000The first thing is, libertarians shouldn't be saying what we must do, for one thing.
00:11:15.000But the scarier thing is that her willingness to repeat it without knowing what it is, it's like outside of... Look, if she was serious about it, the anti-racist ideology is literal racism.
00:11:25.000They just put that anti in front of it.
00:11:27.000The way I try to describe it to people is that racism is a spectrum, and racism and anti-racism are the exact same thing, with different goals.
00:11:36.000But the goals, I should say, with different...
00:11:40.000What's the right way to... They're the same goals, with the same belief structure, but different emotions behind them.
00:13:27.000It's like there's a different energy behind it, but it has the same goal, the same output.
00:13:31.000And I guess the difference between that analogy, though, is if you took anti-racism and racism and put it together, I guess you might actually get an explosion.
00:13:38.000I mean, it'd be kind of good if you could take all the racists and all the anti-racists and put them together and just blow up.
00:13:49.000So what do you like about libertarians?
00:13:52.000I like the fact that... So I've heard you talk about the... I forget what it was called... The spectrum of caring, compassion, and how libertarians are just all liberty.
00:14:06.000I forget what the... Oh, the moral foundations.
00:14:09.000And I'm 100% on the same page with you, because my entire...
00:14:16.000worldview is I'm not looking for any particular Result.
00:14:22.000I want people to be free and that's the that's the What I hold, you know as sacred people should be allowed to live their lives however they want and In any way that they see fit as long as they're not harming anyone else.
00:14:37.000Yeah, and I think that that's the best way to There are some challenges there though.
00:14:55.000So it's a big, big libertarian argument.
00:14:56.000I was very much an open borders kind of libertarian.
00:15:02.000And then COVID made me go, let me rethink this.
00:15:07.000Because to be honest, the economic argument about borders to me makes sense, right?
00:15:12.000So you really shouldn't have any kind of Limitations on people going places to work.
00:15:19.000And I'd always, I'd had, I'd had a grudging acceptance of borders because as long as there's some kind of social safety net, you can't just let anyone come into the country and sign up for your social safety net.
00:15:34.000You have to have some kind of control over that because we're already a hundred trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities and all of the economic arguments.
00:15:43.000But then when COVID hit, then I definitely was like, you know, it's probably a good idea for a country to have control over its borders and control over who's coming in and who's coming out.
00:16:09.000The way I describe myself is, I'm left-leaning libertarian on most things, but realism makes me more liberal, because I think we need a little bit more authority.
00:16:18.000Not towards authoritarianism leading towards liberty, but a little bit.
00:16:22.000You need some kind of system in place to maintain these freedoms.
00:16:26.000Because I guess the concern is, looking at it from a historical perspective, The places that were just open and free to move about you
00:16:34.000get taken advantage of by either, you know, manipulative forces or physical forces
00:16:39.000So but anyway Specifically unto the Libertarian Party though. Is there is
00:16:43.000there anything Joe Jorgensen like in terms of her policies that there's nothing specific about
00:16:52.000Libertarian party platform is pretty good.
00:16:54.000A libertarian executive who's not looking to be... because I'm on the same page as you are about foreign interventionism and ending wars and stuff like that.
00:17:28.000That's where I'm torn especially because seeing like...
00:17:32.000We have a lot of problems with the FBI, they like to sort of set people up.
00:17:35.000It's not entrapment, but you send in a guy who then like starts nudging them, come on, come on, do it, do it, and they're like, okay, fine, haha, you're under arrest.
00:17:42.000It's kind of like, yeah, okay, you're justifying your existence.
00:17:44.000Yeah, that's what happened to Randy Weaver at the Ruby Ridge thing is they were trying to get him to...
00:17:49.000you know, oh, we got you on your shotgun was too short or whatever. And if you if you go and
00:17:54.000get involved with these guys, then we'll go ahead and look the other way. And it just,
00:17:58.000you know, went to crap. Considering considering what they've been doing with I mean, so now,
00:18:03.000actually, let's jump into the Hunter Biden stuff, because so I don't know if you've been following
00:18:08.000up to date on all of this, because we're getting the slow release of Hunter Biden information,
00:18:13.000But the story is, this computer repair guy gets a laptop, and after a couple months, dude never shows back up.
00:18:20.000The laptop had Bo Biden Foundation sticker on it or something.
00:18:23.000He opens it up, because now it's legally his property, it's been abandoned, and he finds a bunch of emails.
00:18:28.000Apparently, he copied the hard drive and then gave it to the FBI, but then heard nothing back.
00:18:34.000And so then he started getting worried, thinking he was gonna get killed and stuff like that, so then he gave it to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, like, I don't know, I'm gonna give it to you.
00:18:41.000So now there's serious questions about what did the FBI know?
00:18:45.000Because apparently they received this in December of 2019, when the impeachment inquiries were going on, which led into the impeachment hearing.
00:18:53.000And this was all based on Donald Trump's phone call with, you know, I think it was the president or prime minister of Ukraine or something like that.
00:19:17.000So Trump has his phone call, probably saw some viral video on the internet, didn't know much about it, and passively was like, yeah, I just, I don't know if you know anything about this thing with Biden I saw.
00:19:26.000And that was, it was really kind of, but they launched this big impeachment thing over it, which failed.
00:19:31.000The FBI had this, had this hard drive.
00:19:34.000In these emails, we've now learned so far, in only, I think, three or four days, that one of the executives for this company that Trump was asking questions about, thanked Hunter Biden for introducing him, giving him the
00:19:46.000opportunity to meet his dad and spend time with him.
00:19:49.000Whatever that means, you can interpret.
00:19:50.000The media's trying to claim it didn't mean he actually met him, which is kind of weird.
00:19:53.000I think spend time with him is pretty...
00:20:05.000We now have... Tucker Carlson last night did a segment where he said
00:20:08.000about one month before Joe Biden went and got this prosecutor fired,
00:20:14.000there were communications from this company about needing to get U.S. assistance.
00:20:18.000officials to intervene on their behalf.
00:20:21.000And then it was only like a few days before, I guess this PR company was on a phone call with the White House or something, a conference call.
00:20:28.000And then all of a sudden Joe Biden flies out there, fire this guy or you don't get the money.
00:20:33.000The guy who got fired, Victor Shokin, said he signed a sworn affidavit that he was going to investigate the executives of Burisma and the founder of Burisma for corruption and various things.
00:20:44.000So if that information, if those emails were in the possession of the FBI at a time when Trump was being accused of trying to smear Joe Biden, what was the FBI doing?
00:20:56.000You know, I mean, I can't I can't I can't even guess.
00:21:03.000But I mean, I do think that the I do think that the.
00:21:09.000So people say the deep state, and I think that when you use a term like deep state, it's such a charged term that it's unhelpful.
00:21:18.000But there is an entrenched bureaucracy of people that work for the government that are unelected, that have no desire to get fired.
00:21:30.000They don't want to see their job go away.
00:21:32.000They're regular people doing what to them is fairly mundane work, but they don't want their, you know, like I said, I would get rid of, you know, get rid of the ATF.
00:21:42.000People that work at the ATF, they don't want to get rid of the ATF.
00:21:45.000My mom used to work for the US Fish and Wildlife in Massachusetts.
00:21:49.000And I told her and her friends right in front of them, I'm just like, I would get rid of this whole building.
00:21:56.000And they were, they were, they were appalled.
00:21:58.000And my mom was like, my mom was just like, whatever, you know, cause she knows my opinion.
00:22:03.000And, but they were appalled that I would say that.
00:22:04.000And I understand because, you know, if you've got a job, And you've got your livelihood tied up with the government, you know, it makes sense.
00:22:12.000But at the same time, you know, these people that work for the government have their own interests.
00:22:21.000And so to think that they wouldn't try to preserve their own jobs and preserve their power or whatever, I think that's just, that's a little foolish.
00:22:31.000And to just say, oh, You know, oh, it's deep state, and so it's all just crazy conspiracy theory.
00:22:38.000It's realistic to say people that have jobs and families and pensions and all the things that go along with a job, they want to keep those things.
00:24:10.000FBI agents were taking out liability insurance because they knew if anyone found out about what they were doing to Trump, they were going to get in trouble.
00:24:21.000The fact that they took out the insurance policies and there isn't a ton of journalists trying to snoop around and come up with information about why they were, what were you thinking, and etc.
00:24:50.000That's how I see it, because when the Proud Boys got name-dropped by Joe Biden, what did all these journalists tweet out?
00:24:56.000Don't interview the Proud Boys, don't talk about them, all of that.
00:24:59.000It was like one person tweeted and then someone would quote it and created this chain of all the journalists being like, we vow not to actually explore who these people are, which is insane, because a presidential candidate name-dropped them and one of them said, stand back and stand It's incredible.
00:25:12.000It's kind of important to figure out who he's telling to stand by.
00:25:14.000You would think so, but as long as the general tone that your normies are going to have about
00:25:23.000or the attitude that normies have generally about the Proud Boys is that they're the bad
00:25:48.000The naming the cereal things was based off of when someone farts.
00:25:51.000They can punch you until you name five cereals.
00:25:54.000Oh, that's what it turned into getting that's how you got in Okay, so you ever play the game doorknobs?
00:25:59.000No when so we used to do this in Chicago if someone farted yep, you have to yell safety Okay, so you you know that farts coming on you you you fart no safety But if you don't, someone yells doorknobs, they start punching you until you touch a doorknob.
00:26:14.000For Gavin, it was name five breakfast cereals and they'd stop punching you.
00:26:19.000And so it was clearly all a really dumb joke that got taken way too far.
00:26:23.000But still, you know, I always say, like, if these guys, when they announce they're doing a rally, if nobody shows up, you know what happens?
00:26:42.000I'm not gonna rehash all that stuff, but the point is, the news organizations didn't want anyone to realize they're not a white supremacist group.
00:26:50.000Like, you can criticize him for a lot of things.
00:26:51.000We had Enrique on the show, and we had a bit of back and forth on some issues.
00:26:56.000But right now, at that time, I should say, the media had an opportunity because Donald Trump said, stand back, stand by.
00:27:08.000But if they actually interviewed Enrique Tarrio, who's not white, then that would have been bad because it would have broken the narrative.
00:27:34.000Yeah, I've heard Donald Trump say that I denounce white supremacy more times than I've heard any other human being say I denounce white supremacy.
00:27:45.000I have literally, out of all the people that I've ever interacted with in my entire 45 years, I've heard Donald Trump say, I denounce white supremacy more than anyone.
00:27:55.000And he's still asked, denounce white supremacy.
00:27:58.000So here's the bigger picture in all this.
00:27:59.000Cause we, we, we jumped from like the Bidens and out to the media.
00:28:02.000It's the entirety of the establishment.
00:28:16.000The crazy thing was before anything happened, Facebook, this guy, Andy Stone, who worked for the Democrats said, we're reducing its visibility or whatever, or its reach or something.
00:28:25.000Why are these individuals censoring a story that made Joe Biden look bad?
00:30:37.000I'm not even sure, I'm not even convinced it's an actual establishment of people as much as it is some kind of weird mind frame where you have a bunch of people that can only point in a certain direction.
00:32:23.000But anyway, the point is, I've talked about it before with COVID.
00:32:27.000If the story about COVID is that it's the end of the world, you're totally fine.
00:32:31.000If the story about COVID is that there's hope, they ban you, they shut you down.
00:32:35.000So it's like, whatever this establishment is, they can only say one thing that aligns with their acceptable narrative.
00:32:42.000I wonder if there's not really an establishment of like, you know, corrupt people who are, you know, wealthy and empower as much as it is a bunch of people pointing guns at each other scared.
00:32:53.000You know, like the, the idea being, if I actually admit how I feel, I'll get canceled.
00:32:58.000So I better join the mob and cancel them.
00:33:07.000There's a lot of people that are afraid of the repercussions of standing up and saying, no, I don't think I don't think that I agree with that.
00:33:17.000And, you know, like I said, I'm not like a I'm not like a pro Trump guy.
00:33:21.000You're not going to find, you know, MAGA 2020 or whatever on on anything that that I put out.
00:33:27.000I'll criticize Trump without hesitation if he does something stupid.
00:33:33.000The other day when he put up the Joe Biden meme where Joe Biden was in an old age home.
00:36:05.000But that's why I mentioned internationally.
00:36:08.000When you start to really kind of read about political philosophies, you know, as well as anyone else, that like, you know, and I mentioned property rights early, property rights are foundational to the U.S.
00:36:29.000And I think that the fact that people on the very far left don't acknowledge that you should have property rights, That's where the biggest problem for me comes up.
00:36:38.000I can get into, okay, I understand why people would want to have progressive taxation, or I understand why people would want to have safety nets.
00:36:47.000I understand why people would want to have some kind of universal health care, even though I don't think that it's a good idea.
00:37:11.000I've noticed something, at least anecdotally, because I've covered a bunch of, you know, a lot of these civil unrest stories around the world, starting with the U.S., Occupy, moving to other countries.
00:37:20.000The protest in Venezuela when I was there was the rich people that were protesting.
00:37:30.000In other countries, it's the poor that's protesting.
00:37:33.000So, it tends to be, in like Venezuela, where they were enacting all this socialist policy, it was the middle to upper class that were angry and coming out in the streets and, you know, protesting about it.
00:37:43.000But it's really simple as to why they don't want you to have property, because they don't have any.
00:37:49.000That's such an ugly way to, I guess, exist in society.
00:37:55.000Let's play some communist scenario games, because I was tweeting once, and the Socialist Workers' Party of Great Britain or whatever... Oh, that's the...
00:38:17.000So listen, I tweeted something like, we had a long exchange where the gist of it was, If we're in a socialist system, how do you draw the distinction between private property and personal property?
00:38:27.000They like to say no one should be allowed private property, and I'm like, so I can't have, like, my clothes?
00:38:50.000But when I was talking to the Socialist Party of Great Britain or whatever, it was funny, we got into a conversation where I basically said something like, if I want to build a car because I enjoy working on cars, how would I do that in a socialist or communist system where my job is told to me, essentially?
00:39:53.000I'm like, that's not, that doesn't mean, you don't understand.
00:39:56.000I feel like the communists and socialists, more communists to me if I'm being accurate because I think there's a lot of people that misunderstand what socialism is and they don't realize that socialism leads to communism, you know, Lenin said the end result or the end goal of socialism is communism.
00:40:19.000I don't think that they realize that life is more complex than they seem to think.
00:40:27.000No matter how much food we produce in the U.S.
00:40:30.000and no matter how much we throw away, the inefficiency or the inability to efficiently distribute that food around the world is going to mean that some of that food is going to go bad and it won't get to people and blah blah blah.
00:40:44.000And just getting food to people in places that are very far away, it's like, it's not as easy as just, oh, we can make it and it'll just show up there.
00:41:53.000There was still, you had to earn things, you had to make your own things.
00:41:56.000When you joined, you had to earn your skills, and then you could choose to join certain jobs, you could freely move, you could freely quit Starfleet, there was no mandatory service, none of that.
00:42:09.000So it's... It's kids who live in a fantasy world, they don't understand the harsh realities of the world.
00:42:16.000And I think that's why so many of these communists and socialist activists are young people, because they haven't actually ever experienced what it's like to be outside of the bubble.
00:43:05.000Imagine taking any one of these people, the wealthiest people in the world, and bringing them now, and bringing them to a low-income housing project.
00:43:14.000I don't have to throw my poop out the window?
00:44:24.000People have said that the reason why community has diffused in the United States, why we don't hang out with our neighbors as much as because of air conditioning.
00:44:32.000Like in South America, they'll hang out outside on the front porch.
00:44:38.000I tell you what, in Dogma, the movie by Kevin Smith, the scene where Jason Lee walks into the room, into the house, and turns the air conditioning up.
00:45:19.000When you're in Miami, and in the summer, every window is dripping with condensation from the air conditioning on the inside and the humidity on the outside, and no one goes outside.
00:45:33.000And like, the thunderstorms are awesome, though.
00:45:35.000Like, the tropical storms, it's like, man, it's cool.
00:45:38.000It's just like, like you're gonna die, and you're like, yeah, it's crazy, but you're fine.
00:45:42.000Anyway, the point is, Our poor people are overweight.
00:45:47.000So I think we do have some kind of problem with regulation, and I don't mean regulation in terms of law, I mean like regulating resources in certain ways.
00:45:56.000So we have homeless people who are overweight, and we have poor people who have clean drinking water and air conditioning, but lack of access to other resources.
00:46:05.000The point I'm trying to make is, When they say things like abolish poverty and, you know, poverty shouldn't exist, I'm like, well, if we base everything off of, like, 1900, there is no poverty.
00:47:50.000I don't claim to know enough about most situations to say this is what should or shouldn't be done, but I do think generally as a rule you get better results when it's done privately for most issues.
00:48:09.000There are certain things that I think that you can't do in the private marketplace, but I think that most things are better left to private industry.
00:48:20.000As for regulation on corn subsidies, I don't understand why we're paying people to either grow corn or paying people to not grow corn.
00:49:13.000So, so fallowing isn't specifically, uh, you know, when they're forced to, but fallowing is when they till the land and then don't do anything with it.
00:49:21.000So I actually interviewed some farmers when I was in California and they said it's a big part of what happens is like, they'll have the people come out and tell them, okay, we're going to fallow your fields for the next amount of time and we're going to pay you.
00:49:31.000It's like just paying them not to farm.
00:49:33.000I mean, I mean, I think it's my initial reaction to a lot of these things is I might not understand, but I try to be very careful not to take heavy actions against or for something just because I don't understand.
00:49:47.000So, for instance, you know, Trump was paying off a lot of farmers because the trade war was hurting a lot of the farm industry.
00:49:53.000But the trade war was the result of us losing many jobs in production overseas that we needed to bring back.
00:49:58.000So it created this ripple effect and then Trump had to like plug a hole that popped up over here.
00:50:03.000Did we actually end up... Did the trade war work?
00:50:06.000Because I'm, again, as a libertarian, I kind of was like, I don't think the trade war is a good idea.
00:52:45.000General consensus that, you know, it's politically incorrect to say good things about Trump.
00:52:51.000But I do think that if it wasn't for COVID, it'd be a landslide.
00:52:55.000And if you really look at the COVID situation, I mean, I was talking to someone on Twitter the other day and I'm like, you know, back in March and April, they were talking about, you know, everyone in the country is probably going to get it.
00:53:07.000You know, 75% of America is probably going to get it.
00:53:11.000And we're going to have 1% die, so you're talking about millions of people dying.
00:53:17.000And I mean, I don't want to downplay 200 and change 1,000 people dying, but if we look back at what was going on and what It's pretty good.
00:53:28.000that were being had back then, and then look forward to and come back to now,
00:53:32.000it's like 200 and change thousand people's a whole lot less than a few million.
00:53:46.000There was a New York times article where you could add two slider bars and you could slide up to percent infected and mortality rate.
00:53:53.000And they were like, if this percent of people contract it and this percent of, and we have this percent of mortality, it was like 12 million people could die.
00:54:04.000So it sounds like based on what they were telling us, the low end.
00:54:08.000We are below the low end in that what happened worked, and it's a combination of the Democrat governors locking down and Trump's efforts in banning travel.
00:54:14.000Together, it seems like it worked out for us.
00:54:21.000Trump misses his cues in these town halls and these debates because he gets asked, why is, ladies and gentlemen, why is the mortality rate per capita in the U.S.
00:54:51.000So you know what I like to think, like you mentioned this, sane, rational people have memories.
00:54:58.000People who have Trump derangement syndrome have selective memories.
00:55:01.000They don't want to remember any of this.
00:55:05.000I hate to because of I have good friends that really really hate Donald Trump and so I don't want to I don't want to you know paint with a broad brush but and especially because I mean I'm definitely An outside view point when it comes to the entertainment industry.
00:55:27.000People that are in the entertainment industry generally do not have a positive view of Donald Trump.
00:56:15.000If you take Trump's diehard Trump can do no wrong individuals and you put them in a room next to the Trump derangement syndrome, it's ten to one.
00:56:24.000The Trump derangement syndrome grossly outnumber the Trump diehard fanatics.
00:56:29.000So, you know, I often ask this question, and especially on this show, how do we know that we're not in the wrong side of history or in the paranoid bubble?
00:56:47.000But I can tell you, man, there's a couple ways to determine that we are on the correct side of things, at least in our views.
00:56:54.000And the first one I mentioned the other day is, I can say I condemn white supremacy, and I condemn Antifa.
00:57:00.000I have zero problem saying extremists who engage in violence for whatever reason are bad.
00:57:05.000I think we've got extremist white supremacists who engage in very dramatic and horrifying acts of terror, and we have terrorism coming from Antifa.
00:57:19.000Donald Trump led us to a really great economy.
00:57:23.000Donald Trump's also an arrogant, boastful, like, loudmouth, you know.
00:57:28.000I can say Donald Trump's peace agreements are historical and amazing.
00:57:31.000And I can say Donald Trump's saying we need retribution and that the feds went in and just killed a guy because they didn't want to arrest him.
00:57:51.000George Washington was a violent terrorist.
00:57:54.000Well, I mean, I don't even think the British view him that way.
00:57:55.000Yeah, he was literally deemed a terrorist by King George.
00:57:58.000I've talked to my friends who are British and they say they don't, it's like, what I was told is you got to understand, Tim, that is a blip in our history that didn't even last that long.
00:58:16.000You know, if you talk to, um, I'm, you know, Carl, Benjamin, um, and so, like, I watch his stuff a lot, and I heard him talk about the United States as being the end result of what the English were trying to do.
00:58:33.000He's just trying to take credit for the cool stuff we did.
00:58:47.000And I'm thinking more along the lines of of the.
00:58:54.000The the way that individuals are looked at as opposed to the way that the monarchy was looked at in England, the ideas that the English, the ideas that were like laid out in the Magna Carta and laid out That really kind of got their start in England.
00:59:13.000Don't they still have a house of lords where their political power is derived from their land ownership centuries ago they've inherited?
00:59:30.000I think a lot of these ideas made their way over here, and then something really interesting that happened, I guess, is distance from the crown.
00:59:39.000People had no allegiance to something they didn't know about.
00:59:42.000I mean, you were born here, and you grew up here.
01:00:04.000You're, like, walking through the woods, like, you know, take a dump wherever, and, like, you're shooting your musket and stuff, and you're yelling and singing.
01:00:10.000You go back to England, you go to London, you got rules, you can't do that.
01:00:24.000It's really fascinating because I was thinking about the urban versus rural debates that we have in the country.
01:00:29.000This is before like the Internet era, you know, like maybe the 2000s.
01:00:31.000And I was like, there really is an interesting thing here where you see like the urban cities are very restrictive and the rural conservatives are much more about freedom and openness because they have more space to kind of be free.
01:00:44.000And it's similar in many ways to like what made people want to leave these these densely populated areas in Europe and come to the new world and find something new.
01:00:52.000Sanders was on to something when he was talking about the assault weapons ban.
01:00:56.000He's like, we don't have that problem in Vermont because we're a rural state and so it's not a thing.
01:01:06.000As much as I was never really a pro-Bernie Sanders guy, I was definitely much more of a Ron Paul guy.
01:01:13.000But he definitely had you know, he had some points, you know Sanders has had some some Yeah, but he sold out.
01:01:21.000Well, yes he did I mean look when he he laid down and kissed the ring which he should have never done and I I've again talking to some of my more left-leaning friends that I'll be like, you know, look Sanders was made a clown by Hillary Clinton and having to give up the mic to those protesters on his own stage.
01:01:41.000And that was it was just like he's he's a wuss.
01:03:08.000It's unfortunate that she has the cover that she has because most people don't pay very close attention.
01:03:15.000I don't feel like they do and I feel like that's what she's relying on because if the average person knew that The Democrats were holding up a stimulus bill.
01:03:27.000That they were the reason that we couldn't get something passed to, you know, to provide relief for the American people.
01:03:33.000I think that it would have a significant effect on their attitude.
01:03:51.000I didn't know exactly what the context was, but I heard the exchange.
01:03:55.000And the crazy thing to me is, you normally got these lefties who defend the media and they're like, Trump is wrong for insulting the media.
01:04:00.000Now I'm seeing all of these progressives I know.
01:04:08.000That's what they're saying about the New York Post.
01:04:11.000CNN has spent three and a half or four years trying to do everything they can to discredit Donald Trump.
01:04:20.000Four years of you know what program is coming up.
01:04:24.000It's the Orange Man Bad Show with Brian Seltzer, followed by the Orange Man Bad Show with Chris Cuomo, followed by Fareed Zakaria and Why the Orange Man is Really Bad and Fat and Unhealthy.
01:05:44.000And it's like, look, I get that you don't like some of the policies, but really what you're hating on is this narrative that's been built about Rand Paul.
01:05:53.000Because Rand Paul is the guy that came up with the Justice for Breonna Taylor bill.
01:06:06.000It's like people don't know what policies he would be for or against.
01:06:11.000They don't know anything about his philosophy of how he thinks that the government should be organized and what the role of the Senate and Congress is and blah blah blah.
01:06:21.000They just go and they say, oh Rand Paul, he's that guy that Tony Poznanski, the guy that sells baseball cards on Twitter, doesn't like.
01:06:31.000Like, it's, again, I mean, my shirt says everything is stupid and nothing matters, and it's really true.
01:06:43.000And that's, I mean, that's kind of a catchphrase that I've kind of adopted because there's just so much stupidity where people just don't know why they're upset or why they're Angry why they don't like this person or that person or whatever, you know, I don't want to I don't want to name any of these lefty channels So just just so you guys know cuz I don't want to promote them or even drag them I don't want people going but it's like when there are people who try to make videos criticizing me and it's clear They've never actually watched any of my videos.
01:08:05.000It's super- Okay, we gotta say it now so people understand the context.
01:08:09.000But Prince Harry said that this world was created by, this is according to Prince Harry, white people, and then he went on to say it was created by them Four, according to Prince Harry, white people.
01:09:05.000I was in a relationship with someone that I really, really, really cared about, and I wasn't about to move somewhere where I wouldn't have.
01:10:21.000The rest of the country is going to be What people don't understand is like, I don't know if you heard the quote from Greta Thunberg, where she was like, we don't want to wait till 2030.
01:10:28.000And she's like, we don't want to wait till 2050 or 2030 or not even, you know, 2021.
01:10:41.000Cause like we transport food into areas that have no food.
01:10:44.000Could you imagine if they got rid of fossil fuels?
01:10:46.000Like the Antarctic Antarctic researchers would just die.
01:10:49.000Just like instantly they would just die.
01:10:50.000If only the Ghost of Christmas Future could come and grab all the socialists and be like, if we implemented all of your stuff, this is the future that you get.
01:11:02.000Where's that Ghost of Christmas Future to come and show everybody what the future would be like if they got what they wanted.
01:11:08.000I think it's because, you know, going back to the conversation we were having about not, you know, poor people being kind of well-off, but there's weird distribution issues.
01:11:16.000You've got these people that spent their whole life with everything handed to them.
01:11:21.000And we're at this point now where we're so well-off, there's almost no struggle.
01:11:25.000Even when you're poor, you got food, you got air conditioning, you got clean water, you got a hot bath.
01:11:31.000And that's poverty level in this country.
01:11:32.000I'm not saying life is good for them relative to where it is for the middle class, but relative to people 100 years ago, it's living like kings.
01:11:39.000And so what happens is, what's, you know, if you can't clean yourself, and if you have dirty water, you live in the middle of nowhere, you drink from a well, you get infections, you get parasites, you get sick.
01:12:34.000Where this apartment's all messy and this guy's girlfriend comes in and she wakes up her boyfriend and she's like, you need to clean this mess up.
01:12:43.000And he goes, wait, let me show you something.
01:12:46.000And he puts the garbage on top of the coffee table and he goes, now all we have to do is go to sleep and we wake up.
01:12:53.000And then she's like, are you kidding me?
01:12:54.000Because she's the one who's cleaning all the trash.
01:12:59.000They just wake up one day, they walk in the cafeteria, and there's food.
01:13:03.000Well, I don't know where it came from.
01:13:04.000I would add also, unemployment is very strange.
01:13:07.000I've been on unemployment, I don't know if you guys have ever been on unemployment before, but you lose your job, you sign up, you start getting a check, 500 bucks a week or whatever.
01:13:14.000But if you get a job that's going to pay you 400 bucks a week, you lose your 500 bucks a week.
01:13:19.000So there's incentivizing you to not get a job.
01:14:05.000And she said, when we get people who take a job that pays less than their unemployment, they quit the job, they lose the job, you need to make sure you can maintain your standard of living.
01:14:14.000Otherwise, you'll be back on unemployment.
01:14:18.000If you have a base requirement, if you have a car payment and a mortgage or a rent or whatever, and your unemployment's covering it, and you find a job that will pay you but it pays less than your necessities, she was basically saying, we can't have that because then you'll be homeless, you'll be in trouble.
01:14:32.000But that still creates this problem where it's like, okay, I'll stay in unemployment, I won't take the job, and what do you do?
01:14:39.000I feel like Milton Friedman talked about that kind of stuff.
01:14:44.000It's not well read on Austrian economics and stuff, but that's something that libertarians do talk about is when you have government provided safety nets and stuff, if you're making $500 a week from the government, then you're not going to get a job for $450 or for $400.
01:15:07.000A better way to put it is that it creates a tendency.
01:15:11.000Maybe most people would say I'd rather work because work is fulfilling but maybe just enough people get trapped and then you create a trap where you gradually catch more and more people and it gets worse and worse and worse.
01:15:21.000I think that's the biggest problem is the fact that it becomes a trap where people, you know, if you're getting $500 a week to start something on your own that's actually above board that you're going to be, you know, unless you're doing like a side hustle that you're not tell the government about. But like if you're going to
01:15:40.000start something on your own, then people get used to making a certain amount of money. So even if you
01:15:46.000can cut back and survive on 400, there's not a whole lot of incentive to do that. Right. You
01:15:51.000know, just to get off the government handout. So what do you think about UBI, universal basic
01:15:55.000income? Again, that's something that Milton Friedman had talked about. And there is a libertarian
01:16:16.000I think UBI, I'm not a big fan of it, but I thought he has a very comprehensive policy across the board.
01:16:21.000I like him except for the fact that he was a Democrat.
01:16:24.000And it's not because there's anything wrong with Democrats.
01:16:28.000It's because of the official DNC party.
01:16:31.000It's not that he's a Democrat and would like Democrat policies.
01:16:37.000It's because I believe the DNC official is corrupt and bad.
01:16:41.000I can give you one simple reason why you don't vote for Democrats.
01:16:44.000You can get a moderate Democrat to come out and say, I agree with everything you said, 100%, and I will put forth bills and I will agree on all of those things.
01:16:52.000When Nancy Pelosi says, we're impeaching Trump, they go, okay.
01:16:56.000So you're empowering Pelosi and Schumer.
01:16:58.000And you know, I look at these moderate Democrats, the one in 2018, and the meme idea I like to use is the Lord of the Rings, you know, cast it into the flames.
01:17:06.000You've got Isildur holding the one ring and it says, orange man bad.
01:17:52.000And I've flipped on that completely because of the riots.
01:17:55.000Yeah, and I've always been kind of a pro-2A guy, but the fact that there's so many people that are, you know, purchasing guns, and I don't know if you've tried to buy ammo, but it's a nightmare.
01:18:09.000And I've taken, you know, I go to classes every single year.
01:18:13.000I'm one of those guys that's like, If I talk about guns, I try to go down the four basic firearm safety rules, you know, and I really advocate people getting out and training, and I put up video of me training so that way people see that I'm not just talking about it, which I think there are too many people that do that, like I'm actually walking the walk.
01:18:33.000And if you could give me a Democrat that would just say, you know what?
01:18:37.000I think that the Second Amendment means what it says.
01:18:40.000And that's something that I'm really not going to worry about.
01:18:46.000I could look at Democrats completely different if they, you know, if there was someone that was like, oh, the Second Amendment means what it says.
01:18:53.000But did you ever read the the original text of the first draft of the Second Amendment?
01:19:46.000But right now, one of the big arguments we see from the left is, a well-regulated militia, the government's supposed to regulate it.
01:19:52.000And it's like, that's not what they meant.
01:19:55.000And the original text said something like, this will not be, I don't have the exact language pulled up, but it was something like, a person who refuses military service, you know, still retains their right to bear arms.
01:20:05.000Because what they were trying to make sure of, you know, just because someone wasn't going to be in a militia, they can still have a gun.
01:20:12.000The idea that, considering the Constitution is a document that expressly gives power to the government, and then the Bill of Rights is a list of things specifically off-limits to the federal government.
01:20:32.000If you take the context, if you look at it from that context, there's no prior restraint Or no prior limitation to what a person is allowed to own.
01:20:42.000And I hear some people arguing that the DC v. Heller case created a freedom or something like that.
01:21:11.000The people that find an issue with the Second Amendment and that are pro-gun control, The way that they approach it is that the government has the authority to give you rights.
01:21:27.000And your rights come from your humanity.
01:21:31.000The government doesn't have the ability to give you a right.
01:21:35.000They can give you an entitlement, so the right to healthcare is actually an entitlement to the government paying for your healthcare.
01:21:55.000Negative rights are the only rights that can... Because you've talked about going out in the woods and, you know, you have the right, you can say whatever you want in the woods because...
01:22:02.000You can say it and no one can stop you.
01:22:05.000You can take a stick and turn it into a weapon because no one can stop you, but the actual having to do something for someone else is where the problem is.
01:22:14.000The way I usually explain it is, if you want to figure out what your rights are, strip naked and go in the middle of the woods.
01:22:19.000Anything you can do is your right to do.
01:22:21.000You can defend yourself, you can create a weapon, you can scream all you want and you're naked, you can take a dump.
01:22:27.000Once you start imposing on other people, like taking a dump in their water, you've got problems.
01:22:40.000I was reading about positive and negative rights and the easiest way to explain it is that a negative right to life means I can't kill you.
01:23:21.000You're going to go to a hospital and be like, I try, I try asking my, my, my, my lefty friends this, they have no answer.
01:23:27.000And they just kind of just dance around it because they can't.
01:23:29.000If healthcare is a human right, what would happen if, what would you do if you went to a hospital and the doctor said, I refuse to treat this person?
01:23:36.000Do you point a gun at them and say, do it or else?
01:23:46.000You know, you can't force someone to do something without violating their innate right to say, I don't want to.
01:23:53.000You know, maybe NPC people just have no individuality, and so they don't care to lose it.
01:24:01.000Right, when it comes to rights, like we I think people should have a human right to the internet right now, because it's technologically simple.
01:24:07.000So if medicine was simple, if it didn't take you or any other person, if I could walk into like a DNA replicator that would just heal my body back to full, then everyone should have a right to that, I think.
01:24:19.000Oh, I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, in the world where we have post-scarcity technology and everyone can be healed, like... It's a totally different argument, though.
01:24:25.000So, like, a right to the internet now, because electricity is so free and cheap, for the most part, that we can gain new rights, basic human rights, I think.
01:24:37.000And I think the reason I disagree is because to have a right to the Internet would imply that you have a right to a connection to the Internet that has to be built by people.
01:25:25.000If you had a gun on you and I was threatening your life, you have the right to use that gun to defend your life.
01:25:32.000It's the defending of your life that's the right.
01:25:36.000And then the protection afforded you in the Second Amendment is that the government cannot prevent you from from using a tool or whatever tool you find best will help you defend your life.
01:25:52.000So the Second Amendment covers knives, it covers nunchucks, it covers bows and arrows, it covers anything that's a weapon.
01:26:03.000I love this argument from the left that they're like, they expect you to have a musket.
01:26:08.000I don't know if you've ever seen this commercial, where an angry guy storms into an office, and then he aims the musket and fires, and then starts, you know, he puts the gunpowder in and starts stuffing, everyone runs away.
01:26:17.000And they're like, this is what the founding fathers were talking about.
01:26:19.000And I'm like, dude, corsairs and privateers were a whole part of this thing for hundreds of years.
01:26:24.000You had dudes who privately owned warships that would sink government vessels.
01:27:46.000What's a really crappy gun you think the government would give if they had to give guns?
01:27:49.000Uh, well, I mean, if they had to give guns, they've got ARs now, or M16s now, so I guess they would give those, but they probably wouldn't be in proper working order.
01:28:00.000It would probably be a government-manufactured, low-quality, low-caliber— High points.
01:28:20.000Yeah, I mean, man, since the riots, you've got, I don't know, did you hear about this?
01:28:25.000A mass historical exodus of police in Seattle.
01:28:28.000That's something that I think that, that I was kind of hoping that we would talk about is, I think that there's going to be a lot, there's going to be a significant increase in violence in cities all over the country because Cops ain't having it.
01:28:42.000They're just like, man, you do you, you know?
01:28:47.000And I'm afraid for what that means for your average person that just wants to go and live their life.
01:28:53.000But like, you know, I'm not in any rush to see New York City look like it did in Taxi Driver.
01:29:08.000I know people that live in New York that, you know, they're like, man, you know, there's some wild stuff going on and, you know, gunshots just hanging out in Brooklyn and stuff.
01:29:37.000And I was just talking to some guys, and they were saying, like, in Minneapolis, and it was crazy, this guy was like, we were talking about crime and defunding the police, and then he just stops and goes, oh, hey, did you hear so-and-so got punched in the face?
01:29:56.000New York Times is not going to come out and be like, another woman was punched, but apparently attacks like this are happening in a bunch of these cities, and the cops don't care anymore.
01:30:03.000So in Seattle, I think the number is 118 have quit the force, and probably dozens more are doing blue flu, right, where they call in sick all the time, and they're using their leave until they can get close to retirement.
01:30:17.000So this is from KTTH770 up in, I think it's in Seattle, I forgot the guy's name, Jason Rance, maybe?
01:30:39.000If I'm gonna be in a city where they tell me I can't have a gun, I can't protect myself, and then they're telling me the 9-1-1 is not gonna be able to get to me for nine, ten minutes.
01:32:09.000But yeah, the event I did with Sargon... That was in southern Jersey?
01:32:13.000It was in Southern Jersey, it was in Pitman, and this is hilarious because these Antifa people came from far away, from like Brunswick or whatever, from, you know, half an hour north of- I lived there.
01:32:23.000Like, I literally live- Dumb, probably 20-year-old college kid who probably thinks Mao was all right.
01:32:35.000And then he's like, I'm a Marxist-Leninist, and Daryl Davis is a white supremacist.
01:32:52.000And he said he just wanted to talk to him, understand him, and that proximity and that friendship actually changed their minds and changed their worldview.
01:32:58.000Is there not a better refutation of the idea that you should punch Nazis than Daryl Davis?
01:33:06.000You're not going to convince, like when you, nobody punched the Nazi out of Spencer that day he got sucker punched.
01:33:13.000They didn't punch the racism out of him.
01:34:54.000My favorite story was that He said, well that was my favorite story, but in one of his stories he said that he was hanging out with this clan member who stayed a clan member until one day he was at a meeting, this clan guy told him he was at a meeting, and he heard them saying all these things about black people and then he stopped and thought, that's not like Daryl at all.
01:35:11.000I don't, this doesn't make sense anymore.
01:36:31.000You can look at them and see they're probably some type of mentally ill, you know, some kind of Something like that, you know and and so you've got people that are taking advantage of them and getting people that are probably some you know, probably mentally ill to go out and behave violently and act out and they're being you know egged on by people that probably aren't mentally ill.
01:36:58.000Yep, and they're just using them and That's exactly what I've been saying.
01:37:18.000I was looking at it, and I even asked some of my Twitter followers, I was like, is being this weird-looking a cause or an effect of being in Antifa?
01:37:25.000And I think it is just a sign of chaos.
01:37:28.000I think the crazy hair color, I think the crazy eyes, I think they're a sign of chaos.
01:37:32.000And I think it's good and it's right to be a little bit compassionate about it.
01:37:37.000They don't really fit into any kind of culture.
01:37:39.000They're just kind of out there doing whatever.
01:37:41.000So I'll tell you one of the things that scares me is...
01:37:44.000There's something I call the scaling problem.
01:37:46.000So the way I explain it is if, uh, Apple releases a hundred iPhones to a bunch of celebrities and 1% of them breaks, one celebrity goes, my phone broke.
01:37:59.000If they release a hundred million iPhones to the public and 1% breaks, you got a hundred, you got, you got 1 million posts on Twitter of broken phones trending nationwide.
01:38:08.000And they're like, what is going on with these phones?
01:40:00.000Well, when a company's private, like mines is private, the CEO has massive control of what they want to ban and block, and the board basically controls.
01:40:06.000Once a company goes public, it's their owners become people.
01:40:11.000And so there's these three companies called Blackstone, State Street, and Vanguard.
01:40:15.000And they're these gigantic, the three biggest investment firms in the world.
01:41:18.000It's running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
01:41:20.000Nothing makes sense, they're insane, they're just scared of each other.
01:41:22.000It's part of a system that's... It's a bunch of people standing in a ring, all pointing a gun at each other.
01:41:28.000It's like a 5 million person Mexican standoff.
01:41:31.000And no one really wants to be in it, but they're like, if I don't do this, then I'll get shot, so I better point the gun at the next person.
01:41:48.000And I think it's correct that there's no head to this monster.
01:41:50.000And I think people assuming there's a head is, like, kind of the root of conspiracy theories, because it's often not organized.
01:41:55.000People are inherently disorganized, if you've noticed.
01:41:58.000If you're looking to be accepted in a group, then standing up and saying, oh, I think that even just standing up and saying, I don't know, guys, I think you might not be on the on the right track.
01:42:11.000That's enough to get people to be like, yeah, you know.
01:43:09.000And a lot of Trump people would get really mad at me for some of the questions I would ask Trump, but then kind of be like, okay, well, at least he's pointing out You know, the media's lies and stuff.
01:43:17.000The Trump people ain't gonna show up at your house?
01:43:21.000Like, this is the point I was making earlier.
01:43:23.000I routinely criticize Trump on various things.
01:43:26.000Like, today I tweeted, it's insane for him to say that, maybe it was yesterday, when he was like, they didn't want to arrest him, it was 15 minutes and he was gone.
01:44:18.000It's like the worst possible thing you could possibly get, posting my address.
01:44:21.000It's like, okay, these people are absolutely insane.
01:44:24.000The place that I bought, like I told you about, I got a place in the woods and stuff.
01:44:28.000My place is in the back of my lot, 48 acres and way in the back and tucked away because of Stuff like that because people are just like oh blah blah blah and and they're they're nuts you know this the stuff that people on the left say and and as if it's it's acceptable, you know and
01:44:51.000This is why when Trump did the town hall with Savannah Guthrie, all she did was yell at him the whole time.
01:44:56.000Because they all know conservatives will roll their eyes and grumble, and the left will send death threats.
01:45:05.000That's all you're really going to get.
01:45:07.000I'll tell you what, they won't go after Biden for the same reason.
01:45:09.000I'd love to ask Biden to disavow Antifa by name.
01:45:12.000I just couldn't believe that they didn't say anything about the fact that Twitter and Facebook, you know, snuffed the story.
01:45:20.000Never mind, you know, the content of the story, because I understand that there's, you know, people are going to be like, oh, you know, that's not true or blah, blah, blah, whatever.
01:45:28.000But like, do you feel like these platforms should be doing this?
01:45:33.000And I said yesterday, I was like, this is the biggest story going on in the country right now.
01:45:36.000And there were people like, Oh, it's a big, big story because Biden, blah, blah, blah.
01:45:41.000And it's like, you know, just pooh-poohing the idea.
01:45:42.000And I'm like, no, the idea that these companies are literally putting their finger on the scale of, you know, right before the, the, the, the election and stuff, that's the story, you know?
01:47:56.000It's mind-blowing that there are so many people that are just so like, oh, well, this guy has to be bad because the TV and everybody that has respectable opinions is saying that he's bad.
01:48:09.000So we got Matt Michalak says, in terms of California repealing state civil rights, wouldn't the federal protection still be in effect and supersede the state repeal?
01:48:17.000My understanding is yes, but it would require a lawsuit.
01:48:21.000So it would have to be sued and then go up to the courts or Trump would have to decide to intervene, which I'm sure Trump would love to do.
01:48:28.000But it's on the referendum for next month.
01:48:31.000The only things that Trump loves to do is stuff that's culture war.
01:48:36.000I guarantee he has no idea about the policies that the Republicans have passed.
01:49:18.000Not only was it a mistake from the perspective of anybody who doesn't like war, the dude turned on him and wrote a book smack talking him.
01:49:24.000So it was a big mistake in a lot of ways.
01:49:26.000I don't fault Trump for not understanding that political game and who these people were, but I do think it's fair to point out he didn't know.
01:49:35.000And so when you get the more political bureaucratic system, Republicans want to pass this bill.
01:49:41.000Trump's probably half the time going like, I don't know what that is.
01:49:44.000Yeah, I feel like he's, he's, he's like just shitposting his way through.
01:50:12.000And Trump retweeted it saying this had never been done in history, and then everyone started laughing saying Trump fell for the Babylon Bee.
01:50:18.000But a lot of Trump supporters started saying it was 4-D chess.
01:50:59.000Which is fine with me, because if you're going to go ahead and if Trump is the guy that's going to cut the feet out from under critical race theory, then I'm good with it.
01:51:21.000So I'll tell you what, the big difference between Joe Jorgensen and Trump for me is the critical race theory issue.
01:51:26.000Because I mean, otherwise Joe could have been a serious viable candidate for me.
01:51:29.000Yeah, I mean, I went and I saw her and I actually got to talk to her for a brief second.
01:51:35.000And I don't know that she would make a great president, but the Libertarian Party, the ideas that Libertarians put forward are good ideas in my opinion.
01:51:46.000You know, I, I, I, there's a lot of stuff Ron Paul talked about.
01:51:49.000I didn't agree with particularly religion and pro-life and stuff, but I felt, and this is one of the reasons why I was a fan of Bernie in 2016, because I remember the Ron Paul, you know, was it 2008, I guess the Ron Paul love revolution.
01:52:03.000Yeah, that's when I found out who Ron Paul was, and that's when I was like, alright, this is my dude!
01:52:11.000The government, step back, shouldn't be doing these things, let people live their lives.
01:52:14.000And I was like, I like the idea of freedom.
01:52:16.000I didn't agree with him on a ton of things, but I thought if his only position was going to be, don't worry, I won't let the government do it, I'll be like, then what do I care about your opinions if you don't let the government impose them?
01:52:24.000And then with Bernie Sanders, I guess with Ron, you had this guy who'd been in office forever, who believed what he believed, he was a statesman, he was serious and honest, and I saw that in Bernie Sanders.
01:52:35.000And then I saw that wash away from Bernie Sanders when he went on stage and started lying and playing race politics, and then kissed the pinky ring.
01:53:23.000He spilled coffee on his laptop or whatever, he brought it in, went to a Best Buy, bought a new one, and he's rich and didn't care and forgot about it.
01:54:10.000I'm just imagining him, you know, he's sitting there and he's like, he's looking at the crack pipe and he's like, wasn't I supposed to do something today?
01:54:26.000And he probably hates his dad and has like, I don't want to assume, but he probably has all resentful that his dad made him become a lawyer and sent him to all these prep schools because he wants to party, this guy.
01:54:37.000I gotta issue a correction though, because Crack isn't a downer, so he wouldn't be acting all slow about it.
01:54:43.000And then he'd start putting a jigsaw puzzle together or something.
01:54:48.000I do understand what you're talking about, about losing memory.
01:54:51.000I used to drink too much and there are significant portions of of the early part of this or the last decade that we're just kind of fuzzy.
01:55:02.000It's sad because there'll be like little things like for calling your mom on her birthday or something and you just like don't even remember that it's her birthday.
01:56:07.000I was streaming during Occupy, then I went to Vice, then I went to Fusion, which Fusion was kind of a golden handcuffs period where they didn't let me do anything, but they paid me a ton of money.
01:56:15.000And then I started my channel back up.
01:56:44.000So I used to play, I used to sing for a band called Shadows Fall, which was a metal band that got around and done some stuff.
01:56:53.000And they kicked me out because they wanted to get another guy that had become available.
01:56:56.000And so I had started writing riffs for a band that I wanted to create when I was in Shadow's Fall because I was singing in that band and I wanted to play guitar again.
01:57:07.000Started writing stuff and they kicked me out and so it's like oh, well, I got all these riffs I might as well start a band and Put together a band and put out our first record.
01:57:14.000We recorded in 2000 actually came out in 2002 then we put out Another record in 2004 and then the record that kind of broke us was a record called the fall of ideals that came out in 2006 and that had a We had a song on the Saw III, I believe, soundtrack.
02:00:16.000And I played guitar for them for a little while, filling in.
02:00:19.000And our guitar player, Mike Martin, used to fill in for Unearthed.
02:00:24.000And, you know, there's a bunch of that bouncing around of incestuous relationships between the bands.
02:00:28.000It was really, really cool to be there.
02:00:31.000And kind of be a part of that at the time, because bands like Killswitch and us and Lamb of God and Unearthed and stuff, they really did make a mark on the metal scene and it's cool to have been part of that, to see it.
02:05:20.000Let's see, Alexander Scarpacci says, Tucker Carlson confirmed the authenticity of the laptop on his show tonight, and all that remains is awesome, reminds me of my days in Iraq.
02:06:01.000But the city is specifically going after the Jewish community.
02:06:03.000I can't even believe that they're behaving like that and getting away with it.
02:06:10.000I can't believe there's not more of an outcry from the ACLU.
02:06:16.000Because, that's what I'm saying, they're trapped.
02:06:19.000They're like, but we can't speak out, Bill de Blasio's progressive.
02:06:23.000It's like, uh, dude, he's literally, like, you see the video where the cop goes up to the synagogue and he points, he holds the camera in the window and then looks at it to make sure they're not praying?
02:07:03.000He was like, we have these hotspots, you know, and he's like, and I'm referring, I don't want to quote him because he, I don't think he said it in the same exact sentence, but he specifically calls out the religious community, the Jewish community.
02:07:14.000Then he says, we've got to stamp out these clusters.
02:07:18.000And I'll tell you what, out of the hotspots that are popping up in New York, most of the targets of his lockdowns were the Jewish, were the Orthodox community.
02:07:27.000So a lot of people are kind of like, what are you doing?
02:07:30.000I'm very atheist, but I also am a very strong believer that when you start saying that a religion or people that believe a religion are a problem or bad.
02:07:46.000That is really, really dark territory.
02:07:49.000Like, we managed to dodge that kind of stuff at home after 9-11.
02:07:54.000Like, there was some people that did stuff, but generally, as a nation, we didn't turn into, we hate the Muslims that are here in the U.S.
02:08:04.000Now, there's an argument to be made that we exported a lot of war to Muslim countries, and I get that, and that is a reasonable argument to make, and, you know, it's something that should at least be addressed.
02:08:19.000didn't really take out our frustrations on our Muslim communities here in the U.S.
02:08:27.000We shouldn't be doing that to Christians that are going to church, and we shouldn't be doing it to Jews.
02:08:35.000We should really protect people's right, and not just give lip service to protecting people's right.
02:08:40.000We should really protect people's right to worship.
02:08:44.000Even though, if you ask me, they're talking to themselves because I don't believe in a God.
02:08:49.000But you still should be able to, or you still need those protections because it stops being about the God that they worship and just that group is bad.
02:09:42.000But you're pretty active and you put out stuff.
02:09:45.000I think what makes someone prominent on Twitter is being insightful.
02:09:51.000Having an opinion when something comes out and people go, Oh, I didn't realize that.
02:09:55.000And so you've tweeted a bunch of things where I'm like, Oh, I didn't realize that.
02:09:58.000And then I ended up following you for some reason.
02:10:00.000And that's why I was saying, I know you more for your political posts and your commentary and stuff, more so than the band.
02:10:05.000If people know me from Twitter, if people know me and do not have a negative opinion of me from Twitter, it's because of my politics.
02:10:15.000If people only know me from Twitter and have a negative opinion of me because of Twitter, well, that's probably because of my politics too.
02:10:23.000John Smith says, Phil, have you seen 5FDP's new music video?
02:10:27.000I have not seen it, but I do know that Loudwire was not impressed that they had the sickling hammer.
02:10:32.000So 5FDP, the guitar player Zoltan, is from Hungary.
02:10:40.000He grew up when it was communist Hungary.
02:10:44.000He does not have a positive opinion about communism.
02:10:51.000I flew out and I filled in for Five Finger for a couple weeks one time.
02:10:56.000Ivan had some issues and he had to go home, so I went out and I did two weeks of touring with him and sang for him.
02:11:33.000So the idea that you can go ahead and say, this person did this and we should all hate them on social media and get people fired or whatever.
02:11:42.000That kind of stuff happened in communist countries.
02:11:46.000It's just that instead of like going on the internet, they called the police and the police just came and picked you up and then you were never heard from again.
02:11:55.000And that kind of stuff actually happened.
02:11:57.000So to me, the scary thing about cancel culture isn't so much that people are going to say bad things about you on the internet, which can be a huge pain in the butt.
02:12:12.000But it's the fact that there is that impulse in the United States to say, you should not be allowed to say those things, and I want there to be some tangible, real-world repercussions because you said something I don't like.
02:12:47.000And if it's okay in our culture to say you're untouchable or whatever, you're a bad person and you shouldn't be allowed to have a job and no one should listen to you and you should be treated badly or whatever.
02:13:00.000It's a small step to empowering the law to just pick you up for having a bad idea.
02:13:05.000Dude, I feel the same way about imagery and words, like the N-word, and I hate even saying the N-word.
02:13:12.000I feel like I should just be able to say the word and we should talk about the word.
02:14:56.000People were upset that she was nodding!
02:14:57.00014 minutes is premiering an interview with the nodding woman during the Trump town
02:15:01.000You know the story though people were upset that she was not I was one of them they were like you were mad
02:15:10.000Yeah, I was like, oh, it's so annoying.
02:15:15.000I couldn't believe that people were like, they were like so aghast that this undecided voter was nodding about something the president said.

02:21:17.000You get a jig, you put it in a drill press or a milling machine, Drill out the bottom or drill out the part you got to drill out and then you can build that.

02:25:30.000COVID really slowed everything up, but we're planning on doing more crazy shenanigans and all that stuff, but, uh, we'll be back Monday, and I think our Monday guest is gonna be epic.
02:25:39.000I'm not gonna say who it is anymore, though, because... Gosh, all the guests, so fun.
02:25:50.000We've had, like, great guests, and I'm like, here's what's coming, and then they cancel because they're like, something happened, or they missed a flight, and it's like, and then we told every... They're surprised.
