Joey Salads is a former congressional candidate and political prankster. He's also one of the most popular YouTubers in the entire world. We talk about a variety of topics, including: - President Trump vetoing a bill that could have led to the end of freedom of speech on the internet - Big Tech's censorship of speech - and much more!
00:01:27.000Because what Section 30 does is it makes it so that YouTube can't be sued for the things said by me, Ben Shapiro, or Kyle Kalinske, or Steven Crowder, or anything like that.
00:01:38.000That you'd have to actually sue those individuals for defamation if they defamed you.
00:01:42.000If you get rid of Section 230, then you would just sue YouTube for YouTube, you know, is the one who published the content.
00:01:48.000I certainly think Section 230 has its problems.
00:01:52.000I don't think they're going to repeal it.
00:01:53.000Mitch McConnell is saying he's going to come back in on the 29th and override Trump.
00:01:58.000Which is a good sign that just before one of the most important elections for the Republican Party, the Republican Party has more than enough knives to place, figuratively, in Donald Trump's back.
00:02:08.000Which means probably Trump supporters aren't gonna support the Republican Party in that capacity, but we'll see.
00:05:10.000So like, on holidays when people, for political content I can say, at least, my views go down, because people aren't gonna turn on a podcast, listen to politics, and hang out with their family.
00:05:20.000Luckily, I have so much evergreen content throughout the years, I just repost Christmas or seasonal related content every single year.
00:05:27.000So on Christmas, I'll put up, you know, for those three, four days, I'll just re-upload, you know, hey, this was kind of Christmas related, like a package.
00:06:11.000Well, I got the day Friday, I'm like, that's Christmas, bro.
00:06:14.000That was a mistake, that was a mistake.
00:06:15.000I didn't realize what day Christmas was, and I was like, maybe you can come this day, and then I was like, oh wait, just come tomorrow, dude.
00:06:38.000One of the most famous instances of the NDAA was when Obama signed into law something called the Indefinite Detention Provision.
00:06:45.000Which was included in it, and it allowed the U.S.
00:06:46.000government basically to, like, rendition anyone anywhere, like, take you and blackbag you, like, you know, like V for Vendetta, where Creedy puts the bag over your head and then, like, zips it and they drag you out?
00:06:56.000That's basically what it authorized, so... You know, seeing Trump veto this, I la- When I heard Trump was gonna do it, when he tweeted about it, I started laughing.
00:07:03.000TechCrunch reports, following through on his previous threat, President Trump has vetoed the $740 million, okay, million, not billion, National Defense Authorization Act, a major bill that allocates military funds each year.
00:07:16.000In tweets earlier this month, Trump said he would sink the NDAA if it wasn't altered to include language terminating Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, an essential and previously obscure Internet law that the President has had in his crosshairs for the better part of a year.
00:07:31.000Quote, your failure to terminate the very dangerous national security risk of Section 230 will make our intelligence virtually impossible to conduct without everyone knowing what we are doing at every step.
00:07:43.000Trump said in a statement on the veto, it's not clear what the president meant or what he was referring to in criticizing the military funding bill as a gift to China and Russia.
00:07:51.000I just gotta say, I have no idea what he means by that Section 230 thing.
00:07:55.000And I think Trump fundamentally misunderstands what Section 230 is, probably because his understanding of it is being filtered through, you know, one or two people.
00:08:04.000So you'll get someone like me being like, yo, we need Section 230 reform.
00:08:19.000So let's see, they say, Trump tweeted about it.
00:08:21.000The president cited bipartisan calls for a Section 230 repeal in his decision in spite of the NDAA's overwhelming bipartisan support.
00:08:29.000So basically what's going to happen now is Mitch McConnell says, December 29th, he's going to come back in, override Trump's vetoes to make sure every single Trump supporter knows The Republican Party hates you, hates your president.
00:08:46.000I don't know if you guys follow George Alexopoulos, who got his paintings up on the walls.
00:08:50.000He just put one out where it basically looks like the Lion King, I guess.
00:08:54.000Trump is hanging from a cliff and reaching out, and then Mitch McConnell jams his fingers into Trump's hands, and then Trump's falling to his death, like the Lion King in Scar.
00:09:35.000Yeah, so look, the establishment Democrats would love it if the mainstream media were the only game in town.
00:09:40.000And so you get rid of Section 230, and then overnight, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are flooded with lawsuits, many of them probably meritless, and then they're just gonna be like, we're done, ban everybody.
00:11:27.000I was actually one of the approved channels, where I got an email saying, you're all good, we love you, you're verified.
00:11:32.000But eventually, I think what's going to happen is, they're going to start... So right now, they already said, we're going to put ads on content that isn't in the Partner Program.
00:11:40.000Meaning, you upload videos, they'll make money off you.
00:11:44.000Because YouTube's losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
00:11:49.000I think what comes next is, they're going to be like, if you're not a verified account in the Partner Program, We are going to stop promoting you in the algorithm.
00:11:58.000And they're going to say, you'll still be able, or they'll say like, we'll stop recommending you as much.
00:12:02.000This is because, you know, we're trying to improve quality for all of our creators and make sure they can make money.
00:12:07.000It'll be great news for all of the bigger creators who will now see bigger viewership and things like that.
00:12:12.000And then they're going to start, they're going to tell, they're going to start getting rid of smaller channels, fringe channels, people with the wrong opinions.
00:12:20.000They're doing it one for business reasons and then two, because they have bias.
00:12:25.000And the business reasons why they're doing it is because the whole adpocalypse situations, where, you know, CNN or the late night show, they can post whatever they want.
00:12:36.000And they have reserve ads on the back end, where they're- What does that mean, reserve ads?
00:12:43.000I'm assuming they're in the Google Preferred program where they're getting the most exclusive, highest paying ads.
00:12:49.000And then also on the back end to fill the extra ad slots, they have direct deals with companies like Coca-Cola to fill that extra space and they pay a premium.
00:12:59.000So obviously YouTube and Google, they get a cut of that.
00:13:02.000So that's one of the reasons why they want to promote traditional media there because they have their own set of ads from direct deals.
00:13:11.000Business-wise, it makes sense, but that's not what YouTube is.
00:13:15.000And that content only gets views when they feature it on the homepage.
00:13:19.000When you go to the front page of YouTube, and I'm sure all of you watching have seen this, there's like the COVID news bar and everything's thumbs down to oblivion.
00:13:34.000If we get rid of Section 230, YouTube's gonna start square dancing, all the CEOs are gonna be laughing, they're gonna be like, that's it, all the conservatives, all the moderates, independents, you're gone.
00:13:44.000MSNBC guys, you know, progressives, all right, we'll give you a pass.
00:13:48.000But if we keep Section 230, the track we're on right now is still really bad for independent voices, smaller channels, or anybody who's even big and wants to challenge the system.
00:13:59.000Because you could have a million subs, but you give a wrong opinion, you're gone.
00:14:03.000Yeah, and it's... With these social medias, the thing is, I'm more into the free market, where at first, when this was an issue like five years ago, I was like, eh, you know, they can do what they want, they're a business, you know, they can operate it however they want.
00:14:20.000These social medias have been monopoly on free speech on the internet.
00:14:23.000Like the World Wide Web, like if you make your own website, you can only generate traffic to your website is if you promote it on Twitter, promote it on YouTube, promote it on Facebook.
00:15:01.000Because they know it's a bad investment.
00:15:03.000I think it was Pets.com is, like, one of the most famous stories.
00:15:06.000I think it's pet one of the, it was like a pet type of website for adopting animals.
00:15:10.000And they spent like tens of millions of dollars and, you know, six months later, a year later, they're out of business because they got no return on that investment.
00:15:18.000And like the problem with billboards and commercials is that there's no click through.
00:15:21.000You can't like see a commercial and click the button to go to the website.
00:15:25.000Whereas on Twitter, you just click the link and you can target exactly who you want to target.
00:15:29.000Everybody who loves pets and animals, anyone who's Googling how to buy a dog, you can target them.
00:15:37.000They set up their algorithms to track what people like so that you could use their service to find people that like what you're looking for.
00:16:44.000If YouTube does the verification purge, it's going to be really, really good business-wise for channels like this.
00:16:53.000So, right now, I remember when YouTube did that announcement about, what was it, what was it called, like the CP something, the Child Protection Act, CPG?
00:17:03.000All of the creators that do vlogs were really worried.
00:17:06.000Because they were like, if we're deemed a channel for children, we don't get access to targeted ads and our revenue is going to drop by like 80%.
00:17:14.000And I started laughing, I'm like, wow, this is great.
00:17:17.000There's no way you're gonna argue this stuff for kids.
00:17:20.000And that means we're gonna get all of those targeted ads and all that.
00:17:24.000Everyone's gonna go more likely to us than them.
00:17:26.000If YouTube purges, you know, over time from the partner program, a bunch of channels, that means, and they start promoting more verified and confirmed.
00:17:34.000The viewers consolidate around the top 1% of the top 1%.
00:17:38.000What did they say, it's like 40 million, what is it, how many views per month?
00:19:13.000If you're trying to, if you're in the business of attention, where, this is what we are, this is Joe, like the goal of this show, not directly, is to keep people watching it as long as possible.
00:19:24.000The goal of YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter is to keep you looking at that screen on their website as long as possible.
00:19:44.000They see a big audience of crazy far leftists and they think, that's my path to make money.
00:19:49.000Now it's funny as a leftist accused like us of doing that grifting of like, they're like, Tim pool used to be like super left and now he's conservative or whatever.
00:19:57.000And it's like, well, first of all, like opinions change.
00:19:59.000Like earlier this year, I was not pro I was not to a like hardcore as I am now.
00:21:28.000You have more leftists, or fake leftists who pretend to be left, doing that, than you have people supporting Trump.
00:21:34.000The people who support Trump tend to REALLY support the guy.
00:21:38.000Yeah, and it's, when Trump, you know, supposedly lost the election, I was just getting flooded with people saying, give it up already, stop crying, you crybaby, Trump lost, get over it.
00:21:47.000I'm like, wait, first off, the election's not over, Trump didn't concede, whatever's happening's happening.
00:21:51.000But I'm like, they don't understand the difference between having a passion for the country, a passion for actually liking the president.
00:21:58.000They don't understand the difference between having a passion and then yelling and screaming and crying at the sky.
00:22:04.000You know, when Trump lost election night, we, you know, we took, what's the legal process?
00:23:18.000The person who's filing the suit on her behalf, or who's working with a lawyer, is one of the lead critics of Trump in his legal effort to overturn the results.
00:23:28.000So it's like this guy goes on Twitter all day and he's like, Trump is, you know, what he's doing is wrong and he's going to lose.
00:24:03.000I was thinking that power, just kind of in general, that power, they say power corrupts people.
00:24:07.000And that we get this social media uh view count is like a source of power when you have the ability to go click a button and tell someone something and a thousand people hear you say it that people are getting slowly driven insane and then when they get the likes and they're like oh when i did that complaint it got a bunch more likes from those creeps and then they get even crazier and so you've got people in politics going crazy that we call them the left or the people in social media like brad not brad pitts crazy but these cult you know these
00:24:36.000These YouTubers that end up going too far.
00:25:09.000That's why I went so controversial online with my pranks, because the algorithms were rewarding being controversial, being offensive, you know, doing crazy, crazy, just crazy and crazy, and you get to that point where you're realizing, oh wow, I took it kind of far.
00:25:26.000And then you kind of take that step back.
00:25:28.000There's people who don't realize they get caught in the algorithmic loop, and then they start producing more and more and more.
00:25:35.000I think people need to recognize what this is, but I will tell you something.
00:25:39.000These big tech companies will ban the right, so the wall is set, right?
00:25:43.000So if you're on the right, and you start seeing, you'll tweet something, you'll get more likes, so you tweet more of it, you go crazy, you get more followers, you get more shares.
00:27:48.000If they scan the video and they notice something that's questionable, they'll actually put the video on hold, send it to a review, to determine, okay, was this a violation?
00:28:39.000It's weird because when I'm on TikTok, even though it's owned by China or in bed with China, it's still, I think, more free speech than the other platforms.
00:28:53.000I think, without getting too specific, some of these social networks Or fake.
00:29:45.000Is there like a law that it has to be three seconds?
00:29:47.000No, but what was happening was, People were selling ads, and Facebook was selling ads, and then Facebook would be like, oh look, a million views!
00:29:55.000Congratulations, that'll be, you know, X amount of dollars.
00:29:59.000But then people found out, wait a minute, those views aren't real because they just scrolled past it and didn't actually watch it in any capacity.
00:30:05.000So, dude, this was Facebook destroying the news industry.
00:30:12.000I, I, there's some companies I know that were very prominent mainstream networks that have gone bankrupt or shuttered the divisions that they had set up.
00:30:20.000There's some companies that would do YouTube videos and they had millions of subscribers combined.
00:30:26.000Maybe like 500,000 here, a million here, maybe, you know, 1.2 million.
00:30:30.000And I had a meeting in San Francisco with some of these companies, because I was working for Fusion at the time, and they were telling me how Facebook was the key.
00:31:06.000And so what these guys were telling me, I remember I was at a lunch in San Francisco.
00:31:09.000It was like the three video heads of like three different digital production companies that were on social media, with YouTube being their principal place for production.
00:31:18.000And I was, I was like, YouTube all the way, man.
00:31:20.000I was like, I can see the community, I can see the interaction, I can see the excitement, I can see the virality.
00:31:25.000On Facebook, it's just like one day you put up a video and then, boop, it's got 10 million views, and I'm like, where'd that come from?
00:31:39.000Those divisions all shut down because when they were putting in like, they'd have like a budget for like a million bucks or whatever for their production for the year.
00:31:48.000And then when they said shift the production to favor Facebook, and then Facebook didn't turn anything back for them, didn't give them a return.
00:31:56.000They just fizzled out, ran out of money, and then their bosses were like, we just lost a million bucks, made nothing, get out, you're fired.
00:32:01.000Yeah, like the retention time difference between Facebook and YouTube, I can put up a video on Facebook, 30 to 50 second retention time.
00:32:08.000Same video on YouTube, you know, 6-7 minutes.
00:32:12.000And Facebook right now, they're making that algorithm push into the watch tab.
00:32:15.000They made a whole nother section on Facebook now.
00:32:17.000I guess they're trying to kind of compete with YouTube, and they're favoring the higher retention content to kind of keep you on the phone.
00:32:24.000They want you to turn the phone sideways and watch a piece of content.
00:33:31.000They're trying to keep you going back to so a lot of social medias I mean have a theory that if you're not like going on the platform Like they'll kind of send a little engagement your way to keep you opening the app up again Keep you engaged and looking right you know you having the notifications on like oh, I got a new follower you click on it now You're exactly I think in the beginning of YouTube.
00:33:50.000I don't know how it was for you guys, but oh For me, it was, I wanted to make videos and tell my friends about this book I read.
00:34:04.000And then people could make video responses and you had these little communities of people.
00:34:08.000And now that it's like, I don't know if they really want to just get people off the platform, these non-verified people, because they're taking up too much bandwidth and they're too much of a liability.
00:34:17.000Especially if 230 goes down, then they're really alive.
00:35:29.000The Democrats right now are probably sitting in a room with the Republican establishment are sitting in a room together, and because this is a family-friendly show, I will say they're sitting in a circle all patting each other on the back.
00:35:43.000Going like, yes, yes, this is great, you know, we're having a good time.
00:36:54.000And it's gonna be bad for humanity and liberty and freedom.
00:36:58.000But if people want it, if Trump's saying it and Trump supporters are for it, well, okay, I guess I'll just sit back and take the extra money.
00:37:04.000Let me just say what's going to happen.
00:37:06.000I'm not going to be banned if 230 goes.
00:37:09.000I'm going to be one of their preferred verified accounts or whatever.
00:37:13.000They like the milk toast, you know, harmless Tim Pool or whatever.
00:37:16.000He's just edgy enough, but not edgy enough to get smears and cause any trouble because I'm not far enough in either direction.
00:37:23.000So it works for them that people watch these shows and that they're controversial a little They actually monetized our Alex Jones episode.
00:37:30.000So they're like, this is okay, we're okay with this.
00:37:33.000So if you get rid of Section 230, YouTube's gonna go, we got it baby, we finally got what we needed.
00:37:37.000The excuse to ban all these people without causing controversy, and we can blame Trump for it, it's great!
00:37:44.000We're gonna pick 500 channels to keep.
00:37:47.000YouTube is now officially Netflix, this is fantastic.
00:37:49.000Our bandwidth costs are gonna drop, but our audience stays the same.
00:37:53.000If you get rid of Section 230 and YouTube bans all of the non-preferred accounts, they'd probably make me sign a contract or something about liability and whatever.
00:38:01.000Then what you're left with is, YouTube still gets the billion views or whatever per month, whatever the number is, probably more than that, probably a hundred billion or something.
00:38:32.000Okay, just like any of these other platforms, I'm just gonna start counting the days until NBC, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times publish a story about, you know, the neo-Nazi website rumble and all this other garbage.
00:38:43.000And then what happens is, all they need as an excuse is one article that says it, and then you'll get Google going like, we will no longer, you know, serve, you know, the DNS or whatever.
00:40:09.000So what they do is, what works for them, let people make content and then when they identify content that's doing well and is brand safe and advertiser friendly, they promote it in the algorithm.
00:40:54.000It's like, depending on the video, it could be between 60 and 70% not subscribed.
00:41:00.000That means YouTube's recommending the video.
00:41:03.000So you go to YouTube.com, and then my video appears, and you click it and you watch it, and YouTube keeps serving it to people, because subscriber counts really don't matter anymore.
00:41:11.000I mean, we do this show, we have almost 900,000 subs on this channel, and we're averaging like half a million per podcast episode.
00:41:20.000So that means like, More than, you know, it's like 60% of the audience watches, you know, every day or whatever.
00:41:28.000Or you can say that most people watch, you know, a couple times a week.
00:41:31.000And the way the algorithm works to my understanding is, because I know people who have zero growth on YouTube, but they'll have a million subs and every video they post gets a quarter million, half a million views, but they don't have any growth because what YouTube sees, okay, this piece, it's mostly vlog content.
00:41:48.000This vlog is getting very high retention time with its subscriber base.
00:41:53.000So they'll push it out to more of the subscribers and then they do kind of testing and the algorithm for some like lookalike audiences and then they check the retention time from those algorithmic viewers and then usually those algorithmic viewers don't come back good because it's the fans that want that content and they pull it back and it doesn't get the expanded growth but it has a high percentage of watch time from subscribers.
00:42:14.000My page is the complete opposite, my prank page.
00:42:17.000Where I'll get like 10% of my subs watching and then like randomly like 2-3 months later I'll have a video pop off with like 5 million views.
00:42:26.000Because it's just like the algorithm, since it's all evergreen, the algorithm will be like, okay well this content does good with random people clicking on it.
00:42:33.000Well it'll find that audience, it'll fall into the hole.
00:42:46.000Now, it's a mix between the interests of the individual and what YouTube recommends.
00:42:50.000If there's somebody who likes watching videos titled, Democrats are awful, and they send a video saying Democrats are great, they're going to be like, I ain't clicking that.
00:43:01.000YouTube would probably lose a decent amount of their users if they banned everybody, and if Section 230 got repealed, but most of the people would probably stay.
00:43:11.000Then the activists would just target other social networks and call them racist.
00:43:14.000Yeah, there are two types of people that use YouTube.
00:43:17.000There's one, the group of people that want to see independent creators and the group that just go to YouTube to just probably don't even have accounts that are just like, Oh, I'm going to just Google this, look it up.
00:43:26.000Or I remember watching this funny viral video.
00:43:28.000Let me look it up and show my friends.
00:43:30.000Or they're just typing in funny cats, you know, the casual users, maybe they're going on it to see the news.
00:43:36.000Um, they're like less engaged, but those types of people, YouTube is the go-to.
00:43:41.000So you, you, you, you give us section two 30 and I'll be, I'll be doing great.
00:43:56.000So, his viewership, I think, was at, like, you know, $4 or $5 million a night at its peak, and then people abandoned Fox.
00:44:03.000But even without him getting $4 or $5 million a night, and then you include YouTube, when... So, I recently cut down the amount of segments I was producing, but I was getting, like, $3, $3.5 million a day.
00:44:12.000Sean Hannity was getting, you know, $4 or $5 million.
00:44:16.000The problem is you would be like the golden child, and your ad revenue would go up, but you'd be stuck under their terms of service still, which could get more strict.
00:44:25.000The difference between, I guess, traditional media hosts and new media hosts is in the traditional media, the ad rates pay way higher.
00:47:58.000Went to college for like a year, failed everything, but during that time, I downloaded Vine, because an ex-girlfriend of mine made me download it, because she was like recording videos of me, and I'm like, this is such a stupid app, six seconds, like how can you?
00:48:46.000Well, no, because what Twitter does is they buy a company, and then once people are used to using it on the Twitter app, they axe the other company.
00:49:24.000Yeah I was hearing stories that they were going to put an ad program in place but then like a bunch of influencers were like spreading the word and then everybody wanted a piece of the cut and then they just can't.
00:49:34.000Hyperinflated their value and sold probably a hundred thousand times.
00:49:38.000I think influencer value is it's tough because I think influencer value is overrated but at the same time it is that power.
00:49:48.000Yeah, money can't buy the value of communication.
00:49:51.000The thing is, like, I use Ninja, for example.
00:51:44.000I wonder, we were talking about before, it's almost like a retirement, you know, not to be disrespectful because I know Joey's a friend, but you know, when someone offers that much money, I'm sure Joey, he's a good businessman.
00:53:50.000There were, like, cab driver riots in France.
00:53:52.000I went to, I was in New York a couple years ago and there were cab drivers protesting outside of City Hall saying that Uber destroyed their business and in order to drive a cab in New York you need like a cab token and they cost like a million bucks.
00:54:04.000It's like you gotta pay it off with a loan.
00:54:06.000And so they were like, we were told Uber would only be allowed to drive so many cars.
00:54:09.000So we buy these things, and then once they brought in 30,000 Uber cars allowing them, then all of a sudden these tokens are worthless and no one drives in our cars anymore.
00:54:17.000So what happens is, cabs cost more money.
00:55:11.000You'd have a mom-and-pop local family small business cafe.
00:55:14.000One day, a Starbucks would open next door, and it would offer discounts, super cheap drinks, and then people would- it would split their business.
00:55:24.000Because there are some people who are big fans of the local cafe.
00:55:28.000But then there are a lot of people who are just like, I just want a coffee.
00:55:31.000Starbucks, they got milkshakes or whatever, you know?
00:55:33.000Yeah, and so they see the Starbucks sign, and they know it's coffee, and they see the mom-and-pop's, you know, whiz-bang cafe, and they're like, I don't know what that is.
00:55:57.000But they would say like Starbucks would open up right across the street, then the small business would not be able to compete with Starbucks.
00:56:04.000But you got, bro, in San Francisco, just off of Market Street, I can't remember exactly what street this is, there's like three Starbucks Three Starbucks locations.
00:56:15.000In Hollywood, there's four of them a mile away.
00:57:29.000But then a Domino's opens up across it.
00:57:31.000This wouldn't fly in New York, or at least not in Staten Island.
00:57:34.000But anywhere else, a Pizza Hut or a Domino's opens up across the street, and they can give you a pizza for one-tenth the price, and they can afford to pay their employees $15 an hour, because they have that massive infrastructure to get you cheap prices, also if they subsidize it with shareholders.
00:57:52.000That's just gonna destroy small businesses.
00:57:55.000And then you're gonna have to go work for a corporation, and now you're stuck making $15 an hour for the rest of your life because you're working for Pizza Hut.
00:58:01.000The idea that you can artificially inflate the wages for people is just wrong, man.
00:58:05.000I talked to... I told this story before.
00:58:07.000I was talking to an accountant who was a... He's a Democrat guy.
00:58:11.000He's like, you know, urban Democrat, not super political, but, you know, he votes Dem.
00:58:15.000And I asked him about it because New Jersey was passing a wage increase and he said, oh, I lost 30% of my clients already.
00:59:19.000And then you have, you know, American industry picks up the slack, and our factories were fine, nobody came here.
00:59:25.000There's a lot of reasons why things were doing well, and there's a lot of arguments about it, but there's a lot to be said.
00:59:31.000Everybody wants to blame Ronald Reagan for trickle-down economics as to why it happened, but they overlook the fact that Republicans were, and this is true, the fact that the Republicans wanted to start importing a lot of cheap labor.
00:59:43.000If you were in a factory, you know, it's like the 70s and 80s,
00:59:47.000you're like, man, why do I gotta pay, you know, four bucks an hour, five bucks an hour to this employee
00:59:51.000when I can have this stuff produced in Mexico for dirt and then shipped up here?
00:59:56.000And so that's where the trend comes in.
00:59:58.000The jobs get destroyed, and that's ultimately what leads us to Trump.
01:00:01.000I think the reason I brought up the bubble that we're in is because
01:00:04.000my whole life I thought, if you need to raise the minimum wage, raise the minimum wage.
01:00:07.000Print, make the short-term value, and then later we can recoup the loss as a short-term investment, but I didn't realize that it was like a Ponzi scheme.
01:00:15.000It's so easy to explain why minimum wage increases do not work.
01:00:18.000What you need is the value of time to go up, and how you do that is very complicated.
01:00:24.000But it's really easy to explain to somebody.
01:00:27.000If I'm growing apples, and I gotta hire someone at 10 bucks an hour to pick the apples, and he can pick 10 apples per hour, just these are ridiculous numbers, he can obviously pick more than that, then the cost of an apple has to be over a dollar.
01:00:38.000Because then I gotta pay for overhead, the machinery, the planting.
01:00:56.000The people who pick the apples also need to eat.
01:00:59.000So now, I'm giving them 20 bucks an hour, and then they're going to the supermarket and going, I can't even buy apples anymore because the price just doubled.
01:01:05.000So you're not giving them buying power.
01:01:08.000Increasing the minimum wage does not give anyone buying power.
01:01:16.000As the inflation catches up, it takes like eight months.
01:01:18.000It destroys the savings of retirees Because now, you still can't buy the apple, because you have the same buying power, but now everybody who's saved can only buy half the apples they originally could have bought.
01:01:38.000It allows the government to tax you more as well.
01:01:41.000And also, it spits in the face of the people who maybe are trying to work their way up at Walmart.
01:01:45.000You know, maybe, hey, I put in 10 years at Walmart, I want to work my way up.
01:01:48.000You started at $5 an hour, now you're making $20.
01:01:51.000I gotta tell you what I'm really sick of.
01:01:54.000I am sick of the fact that you are left-wing or right-wing based on whether you are stupid.
01:02:00.000And so when I go to a Democrat accountant and he tells me, look what happened on paper to all of these businesses when they raised minimum wage, the buying power did not go up.
01:02:11.000It stayed the same and it destroyed these small businesses that didn't have the savings to maintain this.
01:02:17.000And then everyone says, because I'm not in favor of minimum wage, it's a right-wing position.
01:02:22.000It's just an incomplete concept to raise the wage.
01:02:25.000You need to raise, like, savings account interest as well, I think, if you're going to do something like that.
01:02:29.000So the banks take a hit, and the consumer can maintain buying power.
01:02:33.000But interest, that's not going to do anything for somebody who makes $10 an hour.
01:02:36.000They don't have a savings to see any increase in their interest.
01:02:38.000Ideally, it would help them grow a savings account.
01:02:40.000Not only does it hurt business-wise, inflation-wise, all that stuff, It also hurts the culture because if you had a lower minimum wage, you know, someone's first job at the age of 13, 14, his $5 an hour worked the cashier.
01:03:42.000So the minimum wage really pinned people like me when I worked in the hospital because I was a tech and I went to school for it.
01:03:48.000It didn't take very long, but I was making more than the minimum wage because I had a little bit of extra education.
01:03:53.000So one of the things I found was when my state was raising the minimum wage was that my wage would go up as well a little bit at a time along kind of the same lines, and I wouldn't be able to buy or do anything more.
01:04:12.000And so that's why you see people like Joe Biden tie multiple policies together with the left.
01:04:18.000Free trade agreements, increased minimum wage, higher corporate taxes, drive the industry to foreign countries, give everybody in the U.S.
01:04:27.000an increased wage, but not the slave labor in China.
01:04:31.000So the people in China who are living under a communist boot, who live in squalor to such a degree that they've walked off of the Foxconn buildings in mass suicide incidents, and the Foxconn lab had to put up nets to catch people to stop them from killing themselves, they don't get a wage increase.
01:04:46.000So what happens with a minimum wage increase that helps Americans is that if you're making $10 an hour, And then they increase your wage to 15.
01:05:32.000For now, you still need people to do the finer manipulation of, you know, like, you know, you can use your hands to do better than we didn't even talk about the increase in automation, right?
01:05:58.000And it's like, there's a little guy, it's like a creepy like cylinder with little arms and its arm will spin and then grab the cup and then go and then it'll pull the lever down, fills the ice cream up and it's like, it's like staring at you with its like creepy robotic gaze.
01:06:10.000And then like the sprinkles come down and it goes, I love it.
01:06:13.000I think the automation economy is inevitable and that the whole job economy thing is probably going to be a thing of the past.
01:06:51.000This is a story I tell a lot of people, and I probably told it on this show, but there was a homeless guy.
01:06:54.000I was skating in downtown Chicago when I was like 18 or 19, and he looked like he was like 60.
01:06:58.000He was some old black dude, and I had some leftover pizza, so I was like, I was like, hey man, I was like, you want some pizza?
01:07:05.000I was just leaving a restaurant, and he was like, yeah, for sure, man.
01:07:08.000I think he called me youngblood or something, and I was like, you got it, bro, and you know, fist bump, and then I was like, can I ask you a question, a personal question?
01:07:18.000Long story short, he said, listen man, he's like, you know, I worked, I think he said he worked for the post office or something, or he worked, he worked for some company for years.
01:07:27.000And then eventually when the company started downsizing and they didn't, they didn't need whatever the company produced anymore, you know, one day someone comes up to him and says, sorry man, like company's going under, nobody buys this product for whatever reason.
01:07:38.000So, you know, we're gonna have to let you go.
01:09:15.000The leftists, you know, who are destroying, like, listen, there are Republicans who are ignoring it.
01:09:20.000Like I said, you know, the Democrats in these cities and states have destroyed the economy, and they've turned people from small business owners with their own little, you know, private space and fiefdom and ownership that made them happy, and they've pushed them down into the poverty class, and they want them to live under the boot of corporations, and it is the left in this country that is doing it.
01:09:40.000The left is supposed to be saying that government is good.
01:11:34.000That's probably another reason why the Democrats want corporate America because everything goes through the tax system.
01:11:38.000That's why they want digital currencies too.
01:11:40.000They want everything to be tracked and everything.
01:11:43.000So look, I'll try and keep as vague as possible because I don't want to reveal people's private information, but I have friends When I was growing up where one dude goes to college gets a
01:11:52.000degree and then he gets out and the job he gets with That degree pays him like 15 bucks an hour and he's happy.
01:11:57.000He's like, yeah, I got a degree It's an entry-level position, you know, I'm 22 and then I
01:12:00.000have friends who go and serve, you know Like at a restaurant, you know like a steakhouse and they
01:12:06.000make 50 bucks an hour Yeah, they don't want minimum wage. I opened up my own
01:12:10.000small business a few years ago. I opened up a grilled cheese
01:12:13.000Oh, you're a fascist. Yeah, I open up a grilled cheese joint called get grilled. Really? Yeah, and
01:12:19.000No, no, we wanted to turn it into a brand it was like a Subway for grilled cheeses
01:12:24.000It was awesome the good but subway can do grilled cheese. I mean, you don't go there really, right?
01:12:29.000Right good bread good cheese. Yeah, and It was a really good idea.
01:12:46.000And the thing is, after doing that, realizing all the regulations of coming in, how expensive it was because of the taxes.
01:12:52.000My employees made way more money than me.
01:12:55.000And I had to end up paying them out of the pocket because it wasn't profitable and um one of the reasons was one the mall that we were in was really bad and then two just like the regulations of them coming in all this useless stuff that we don't need and then some like idiot who's coming there and like you know making sure everything's up to code made us put like this six foot What you see now when you go into a store and there's that glass shield, they made us put that over the food.
01:13:20.000And when we're talking to the customers, we gotta lean over because they can't hear us because the wall is curved.
01:13:58.000In Tunisia, the Arab Spring started because a guy was trying to sell fruit from a cart, and the government kept blocking him and wouldn't let him, so eventually he just went in front of a building and set himself on fire.
01:15:45.000So the thing is like with the restaurant industry, the more you add to the menu, the more options you give, it just adds more to the start to the cost of running things.
01:15:55.000Cause then, you know, if you have more items, you need more space.
01:15:58.000Cause obviously at first to just keep your base ingredients, like, yeah.
01:16:02.000You want a salmon, you want like a steak and like, I don't know.
01:16:06.000That's why Chipotle is so streamlined.
01:16:09.000It's like, you know, four different types of meats, three different, two different types of rice, two different types of beans.
01:16:13.000And you can make all these different types of combinations.
01:17:43.000Luke was saying that, you know, he was on a farm with a bunch of pigs, and the pigs will, like, bite you because they're trying to eat you, and you gotta, like, kick them back and stop them.
01:17:52.000And then he was saying that what they do when you're on a farm and there's no food and you're, like, struggling or starving, they'll cripple one of the pigs, and then the other pigs will just eat it.
01:20:17.000Then I went online and I found the Liquor Authority, their livestream of them all talking and declaring for every business, OK, we're going to fine them $50,000.
01:20:28.000OK, we're going to fine them $30,000, but they have to shut the music off at 10 o'clock.
01:20:33.000Like, all these rules trying to punish businesses, and these are unelected people sitting in a position of power, And trust me, they're the stupidest looking people.
01:20:42.000You look at them, you're like, these people should be bums on the street.
01:20:46.000And they're the ones, like dictators, deciding what businesses are allowed to do and the fines that they have.
01:20:52.000You've got to get out of New York City, man.
01:21:50.000I'm like, next time they come, next time they come, you take your phone out, you start recording, you tell them they have no legal constitutional rights to come here and do what they're doing, and you kick them out.
01:22:50.000They'd do that too, but I'm saying Staten Island.
01:22:52.000You still gotta pay taxes if you live in Jersey City.
01:22:54.000Yeah, Staten Island will, like, there'll be a mass exodus from Manhattan over this, and it'll make the Democrats look bad because everyone's fleeing.
01:28:13.000If that's sediment deposit left over from the flood 12,800 years ago, that North American glacial flood that just dumped It scathes the landscape and then dropped, it's all sand.
01:30:57.000A guy, we had a guy in Canada like 10 years ago, former, like, defense minister or whatever, said, yep, aliens are real, and he basically said we need a one world government or something like that, you know.
01:31:07.000Hey, could be a false flag for globalism.
01:34:03.000I don't know, because they probably... Do you go and hang out and, like, watch anthills?
01:34:07.000I guess some people do, you know what I mean?
01:34:09.000What if, like, aliens are just, like, little kids watching stupid humans do dumb human stuff, and we think they're, like, this intelligent race that can't come here?
01:34:18.000Like, think about you staring at an anthill and just watching them do their thing and being, like, it's crazy.
01:34:25.000So you're just like looking at it because you're like, I don't know, or like imagine watching pigeons and you're like wondering where the baby pigeons are because you never see them, you only ever see full-grown pigeons.
01:34:34.000It's like the aliens who come here are just driving by and it's like rubbernecking, they're like driving by Earth and they're like, oh look at all those people down there, what are they doing?
01:34:41.000And then people are like, the aliens are here!
01:35:29.000It's this idea, like, if the universe is this big, and it's existed for this long, and life is produced at this rate, shouldn't we have seen aliens at some point, or some evidence of them?
01:35:41.000And there's a bunch of different... It's a question, basically.
01:35:44.000And there's a bunch of different answers as to why we haven't.
01:35:47.000One of the scariest ones is called the Great Filter.
01:35:49.000The Great Filter is this idea that all civilizations, intelligent civilizations, come to a point where they destroy themselves.
01:36:00.000That's why they want the authoritarian lockdown, because they feel like humanity will wipe itself out with war, with famine, with death, with pollution and destruction, unless we control every aspect of their lives.
01:36:17.000Or they kept destroying themselves multiple times.
01:36:18.000Well, the idea is, like, if we fired off every nuke and every arsenal in a mutually assured destruction, this planet would be a smoldering rock.
01:36:39.000With tentacles for arms, and they don't care about... Like, our idea of emotions and everything might not exist on whatever these aliens are.
01:36:46.000But okay, so our universe was formed, it looks like it was mitosis that formed our moon.
01:36:51.000Planet Theia, after the cataclysm of the solar system's creation 3.6 billion years ago, 24 planetoid bodies all colliding, one of them smashed into Earth, they call it Theia, and then it came out the other side like this form of mitosis, this molten ball that slowly cooled into the moon, this perfect magnetic shape that blocks out the sun exactly when you have it between the Earth and the sun.
01:37:14.000Yeah, and it looks like it's magnetically all kind of held in place.
01:37:21.000But gravitally, that's the reason why we grew up on this planet is because we had that moon pulling the tides and like evolving our bodies.
01:37:29.000It's possible that that is a chemical reaction that's common throughout the universe that that planetoid mitosis.
01:37:34.000So maybe, but I haven't, I don't think we've ever located another solar system where we can condemn that that has happened.
01:38:29.000You ever see that video of the orangutan spearfishing?
01:38:33.000Yeah, so that they're saying like orangutans are reaching like some kind of like caveman state where they're like using tools and that's why I think the aliens spliced our DNA Wow, well, that's like one of the famous conspiracy theories that aliens took primates and spliced their DNA and we don't have a missing link We do have the missing link though I heard that there's like millions of year gap.
01:38:56.000We murdered them all off, all those other hominins.
01:38:59.00020 years ago there was the missing link that people would cite for evolution, that's why they didn't believe it.
01:39:58.000And I'm all about like animal, I'm not into animal cruelty, but I would love to corral a bunch of apes and feed them mushrooms and just watch them.
01:40:43.000We talked about this on the show with Michael and Alex, Alex Jones, the Precambrian Explosion.
01:40:48.000There's a period in the fossil record where all of a sudden there's just a ton of different species.
01:40:52.000And there's a bunch of different explanations for why it is, but people often look at that and say, like, you had very limited life, then you had a bunch of different species all around the same time something happened.
01:41:01.000And, uh, you know, there's weird stuff we can't answer.
01:41:04.000You know what I think people need to realize, too?
01:41:07.000If we look back, scientifically, with carbon dating, with fossil records, with, you know, looking at the sedimentary layers of, like, you know, when things happened, you can see, like, volcanic ash, you can see, like, radiation.
01:41:18.000It's all really well and good, because the logic is there, but you wouldn't be able to look back and find a spaceship.
01:41:26.000So like, the point I'm making is, while I don't think- There's a lot of weird stuff in the Egyptian stuff.
01:41:31.000Like the helicopters, and spotlights, but here's the point I'm saying- Even in the Bible, I mean- Yeah, spaceships.
01:41:36.000Moses followed a beaming light in the sky for seven days, went behind a rock, and God gave him a tablet.
01:41:43.000Yeah, electricity is not that hard to make with vinegar and iron.
01:41:47.000There's some, there's some like, there's like some book where a dude goes up to heaven and meets God or something like that.
01:41:52.000Oh, uh, Mary was thrown up into heaven, body and soul.
01:43:48.000And, uh, he was apparently a healer, like an energy healer, so I think he went and learned Reiki in, like, India, and then came back and had all this, like, reused Reiki on people.
01:43:55.000He was only 33, and that's not recorded.
01:43:56.000He disappeared in his 20s, and no one knows where he went.
01:44:08.000No, I feel like people think that he went and trained, you know, and I don't know if that's true because it's not in the Bible, but there's a lot of people, there's like different cultures have depictions of Jesus and all of these depictions are of their particular ethnicity.
01:44:45.000Well, that's a good question to ask when we have Joey saying that he's leaving California and we're talking about leaving Philly.
01:44:50.000Who is John Galt is a reference to Atlas Shrugged, I believe, an Ayn Rand novel and a group of capitalists that has decided they've had it with society's overbearing arches and want to go create their own magical community on Staten Island.
01:45:13.000gemcast says hey what do you think about a new executive power so the president can do a super veto where congress can't overrule of course he would get a set amount of these but this would stop the omnibus packages I don't know about that.
01:45:26.000I think the Founding Fathers were pretty clever with how they set everything up.
01:45:29.000And the fact that they're trying to curtail the President's power to invoke the Insurrection Act, like, negates the point of the Executive Branch.
01:45:36.000The Executive is supposed to be able to act quickly and decisively in the face of a threat.
01:45:40.000Congress being like, well, you gotta get our approval, kind of just takes that power away, which is kind of ridiculous.
01:46:09.000Max Lang says, Tim, you are dead wrong about what would happen as fallout of repealing Section 230.
01:46:13.000It would not be a mass exodus the way you make it out to be.
01:46:17.000It would be an instant barrage of lawsuits against Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, and then they would have to shut down the services to stop this from happening, and they'd probably do it before the repeal went into effect.
01:46:31.000There's just, I just don't see a way around that.
01:46:33.000They have no liability protection, and they have hundreds of millions of users.
01:46:39.000And you know Trump will immediately sue, like, to Twitter for every fake news story.
01:48:02.000And then there could theoretically be a workaround for new platforms that could arise without 230 that would bypass this by not restricting in any capacity, any publishing capabilities.
01:48:13.000There's probably interesting workarounds like a mesh network RSS style feed.
01:48:18.000They could be like, we didn't publish this.
01:49:08.000But yes, combined with the fact that I don't swear, I don't insult, I for the most part don't insult people.
01:49:13.000I sometimes, I think we did a couple times on this show, I call people morons.
01:49:16.000But I don't like single out individuals and say this person is dumb.
01:49:21.000In fact, even when I'm criticizing people on the left, I usually throw in a couple compliments.
01:49:25.000Like, I did a video recently about Cenk Uygur's op-ed where he was talking about the three different realities in America, and I said he was wrong, but he's got a few of these things right, so my respect, you know, because he did make some good points.
01:49:35.000I won't make a video where I just attack somebody and insult them.
01:49:38.000I always try to keep it, you know, that's why they like me.
01:49:39.000Your YouTube guy is Lawful Good, and you're forced to talk about, like, chaotic evil things, but you do it from a Lawful Good perspective, so they're really happy.
01:49:48.000It's hard to argue why my content shouldn't be allowed.
01:49:52.000It's opinions people don't like, but I don't insult and target or anything like that, you know?
01:49:57.000Daniel Maxwell says Section 230 needs to be amended to require all companies claiming their protections from it to abide by court interpretations of First Amendment protections and all laws regarding the First Amendment protections.
01:50:12.000There's probably a bunch of other nuance.
01:50:14.000But they have a provision that allows them to moderate and remove content so long as it's deemed lewd, lascivious, filthy, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
01:50:22.000The otherwise objectionable part is where they ban anyone and everyone because they go, well, in my opinion, saying orange man good is offensive because the orange man is in fact bad.
01:51:08.000And I think the one thing we really need to step up on Uh, I mentioned this before, but there are a lot of podcasts that are not top podcasts.
01:51:48.000You know, our show relies just on like the YouTube system, and we probably should start producing stuff directly for people who want and like the content.
01:54:33.000But the most powerful person tends to dominate a level playing field.
01:54:37.000Rational Redneck says, what would the repeal of Section 230 mean for sites like BitChute?
01:54:42.000It would mean that BitChute is personally responsible for all content posted on its site because they would now be treated like a newspaper making the statement themselves.
01:54:51.000Do they host content, or is it all torrented between... How does that... How does BitChute function?
01:57:02.000Like, do you think enough Americans could come together and buy enough shares and pool
01:57:05.000their shares to actually like shut down a company like Amazon?
01:57:09.000I thought about doing that with Google.
01:57:10.000I'm like, maybe if I get enough money one day, I can just buy enough shares of Google to the point where I tell them they have to remonetize my pages.
01:57:37.000MRT Fortune says, with the steel tariffs, it doubled the price of materials for a small manufacturing company I worked at.
01:57:44.000It seems similar to the minimum wage debate.
01:57:45.000This is interesting because I'm talking to a steel building company.
01:57:49.000It's actually not that expensive to get a big steel building and we want to do it so that we can have a place to film and have different sets.
01:57:55.000And they told me today that they're like, we can't give you a quote right now because the price of steel is about to go way up.
01:58:01.000Maybe we should just look into graphene.
01:58:23.000You can... So, like, let's say you forget to charge your phone.
01:58:25.000You're like, oh man, you take the battery, you plug it in, 15 minutes later you grab it, walk out the door, and it's got two full charges in it.
02:00:34.000Look, I get it if a city like Baltimore is like, we got a problem with guns, so we're gonna have some strict laws.
02:00:39.000And not having those laws apply to people who live in Western Maryland, who live in the middle of the woods.
02:00:44.000And what happens when 30 to 50 feral hogs come crashing on your property, but the state doesn't allow you to have guns because of what's happening in Baltimore?
02:00:51.000These kind of things don't make sense.
02:01:54.000The officers that follow the unconstitutional edicts, like when de Blasio painted Black Lives Matter illegally in the street, those cops that went down to guard it are just in love with de Blasio.
02:02:29.000So, the important point you brought up is that the cops who are screwing with this bar, there was NYPD there, but now de Blasio's like, I'm gonna bring in the sheriffs because the NYPD doesn't want to do it.
02:02:53.000You have people, cops in New York, and they're going around seeing everyone destitute, like suffering, and losing their money, and they're like, I have a job.
02:03:23.000Stormtrooper, that's what I was gonna say.
02:03:28.000I think I already said Nazi on the show.
02:03:29.000As long as you don't call people Nazis, you can talk about it.
02:03:34.000But, I mean, there was a lot of Nazis that were just doing it, just because they don't want to be on the other end.
02:03:39.000I read that there were Jewish Nazis, like Jewish guards, who were like, if they find out, so I'll just go along with it, because they were scared.
02:03:47.000People have been telling me that because I made a post on my personal Facebook and I talked to my, you know, just my Staten Island friends and I would say like, dear law enforcement, we bent over back for you.
02:04:46.000Could you imagine these NYPD cops who are either sitting back and doing nothing, or enforcing this?
02:04:52.000Imagine if that was the caliber of young man we had during World War II.
02:04:57.000They'd be like, they'd land on the beaches of Normandy and be like, look, man, you know, I'm just going to side with the people who are here because they're the ones in power.
02:05:03.000I'm not going to fight to free people.
02:05:05.000What we need people to stand up and say, I live here.
02:05:53.000I didn't say cops should arrest people who break the law.
02:05:55.000I said cops should arrest Well, if you say everyone has to go out and punch people and I say I'm not gonna do it, then I become a criminal on that law.
02:06:02.000No, you're reading too much into it for no reason.
02:06:04.000I'm saying that law and count— What I'm saying is when the sheriff shows up and illegally detains someone, that's called kidnapping.
02:06:11.000And they have no constitutional authority or statutory authority to do it just because de Blasio said so.
02:06:15.000It is then incumbent upon NYPD to say, you are under arrest for kidnapping.
02:07:25.000They should sue and the law should be overturned.
02:07:27.000But it destroys people's lives to get arrested and waste their time.
02:07:30.000Dude, having an argument about what you think is morally correct is not the point.
02:07:33.000The point is, the sheriffs are coming in and breaking the law.
02:07:36.000There's statutory law being broken by these sheriffs and by some NYPD, and there's spineless, pathetic, and terrified whiny baby cops who won't do anything about it.
02:07:46.000I agree, but it's dangerous to say cops should arrest anyone that's breaking the law.
02:07:51.000That's- Cops should arrest people who break the law.
02:07:55.000So we gotta be careful about encouraging- Yeah, that's what courts are for.
02:07:58.000Yeah, but you don't want to go disrupt everybody- And then you go to a Democrat court and they like, go for like- Bro, you can't- you can't argue that some cops have the discretion not to arrest people breaking the law because then you're gonna have a cop who- who helps and protects his friends.
02:09:52.000If I'm in New York, and some guy walks up to me, and grabs me, and throws me to the ground, and pins my arm behind my back, for no reason, that's assault and battery.
02:10:03.000So, a cop should come and arrest that person.
02:10:06.000I don't care if they're wearing a badge.
02:10:07.000Now, the issue with a cop arresting you is different, because we as a community bestow authority upon people under the ideal that they're going to be stopping criminals.
02:10:18.000Now, a lot of police forces have citations and fines and quota systems, and that's all bunk BS, for sure.
02:10:25.000But if I am doing everything legally, and I'm running my business, and some random guy comes in, and blocks the door, and won't let anybody in, or takes my customers, and, like, detains them, kidnaps them, takes them in their car, you gotta arrest that person.
02:10:40.000Could you imagine if someone went to your business, and then just, like, grabbed the clerk, and threw him in a car, and drove off?
02:10:47.000Under no statutory or constitutional authority did that person do that.
02:10:51.000I don't care if they're wearing a badge.
02:10:52.000Here's another takeaway from everything going on right now.
02:10:55.000There's no constitutional enforcement from the federal government to the states.
02:10:59.000Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act because of this.
02:11:02.000He should have done this six months ago.
02:11:03.000Specifically, in the Insurrection Act, it says if people's constitutional rights are being deprived, he can send in the military to protect their rights.
02:11:31.000You know, it's funny because people are calling for Trump to invoke martial law and you've got like his most ardent supporters and the left is saying, you know, he can't do that or whatever.
02:11:42.000Martial law means military law, so not literally, but we are under totalitarian... Listen, there's constitutional authority and there's statutory law.
02:11:51.000Statutory law are things that are passed by a legislative body.
02:11:54.000Constitutional authority is based on what the constitution of your state or the federal government gives you.
02:11:59.000Under neither of these, Cuomo, Wolf, Newsom, Whitmer have done things they're not allowed to do.
02:12:06.000And the Supreme Court has said of the United States, you can't do that. So you know what they do?
02:12:10.000Okay, this executive order has been disturbed by the Supreme Court. I'll issue the exact same one now.
02:12:22.000It sounds dictatorial, despotic, psychotic, and in violation of law.
02:12:26.000And Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act because they keep doing it.
02:12:29.000The one thing I learned from all of this, there's a reason why we have the Constitution and there's a reason why the founding fathers put the number two in there.
02:12:47.000They elected Trump to solve these problems, and the people who are stomping on the rights of individuals could be stopped by the president right now.
02:13:25.000A man's son has been essentially taken from him and the courts ruled that the child will undergo gender reassignment therapy.
02:13:33.000If a father wouldn't rise up in defiance of the government after his son was taken in that way, then I really don't see the political... The problem is Republicans were way more peaceful than the left.
02:13:45.000If we were as violent as the left, none of this would be happening.
02:14:07.000I appeal to the president, Donald, please enforce.
02:14:10.000You think you should invoke the insurrection act?
02:14:11.000I think you should protect our economy at all costs from these psychotic rogues.
02:14:14.000Especially at the rate things are going right now.
02:14:16.000If you're not going to win the election, what do you got to lose?
02:14:19.000It's kind of crazy that it's a slow boil, we're frogs in a pot, the economy is destroyed, these leftists have no idea how debt-to-GDP works, how money printing works, how modern monetary policy works, anything like this!
02:14:34.000And they advocate for things that make no sense, like deficit spending to pay for healthcare.
02:14:37.000It's like, all you're doing is stripping away the savings of people.
02:14:40.000Like, it makes it so that nobody should save anything ever, but then of course they use that and say, well, you have no savings, we should have government, you know, mandated spending, you know, and buying of the resources you need.
02:14:51.000With these Democrat states destroying the economy, we get this $600 COVID package.
02:14:56.000That $900 billion deal attached to a total of $2.3 billion omnibus spending for ridiculous things like Pakistani gender studies shows you the system is corrupt, and Trump isn't fixing it.
02:15:53.000Even though it's unconstitutional, it's tyrannical, it's illegal.
02:15:55.000With Republicans, on the other hand, if they want to fix something, we don't act like, for the most part, we don't act like dictators to get something done and fix it.
02:16:03.000We don't have to go this process, that process, and this pushback, and that, then you got to play the game and do all this.
02:16:07.000Whereas if it was a Democrat, here's a bill, sign it, tyrannical, done.
02:18:22.000And then a month later... I've been to enough countries, I've been to enough protests, and I've seen enough action from police to know that many of these people just don't care.
02:19:10.000I'll start it, and then I'll pay you to promote it as a sponsorship.
02:19:13.000People, like, Trump supporters are mad, saying, like, everyone's gotta be on the front lines of this fight, and going out, showing up in D.C.
02:19:19.000on the 6th, and I'm like, I might go to D.C.
02:20:30.000And now he's facing charges because they just don't like that he's effective.
02:20:34.000He exposed the intelligence agencies and some of the messed up stuff the U.S.
02:20:39.000was doing, and it really helped Trump.
02:20:42.000It showed a lot of Trump supporters exactly what they were doing and why, you know, a lot of these arguments against them, against like deep state, you know, people were correct.
02:20:53.000And for a long time, like a good example is Sarah Palin.
02:20:59.000Sarah Palin just came out defending Assange, because what we got out of WikiLeaks was good, and then you realize, you're gonna get, with WikiLeaks, you're gonna get stuff that you probably don't like, you don't want leaked, and you're gonna get stuff that you're probably grateful was leaked.
02:21:10.000We learn these things from people like Assange.
02:21:13.000But Assange isn't even the leaker or the whistleblower, he's the publisher, he's the journalist.
02:22:11.000Because do we just sit back as the water slowly boils and we sit in and we know for a fact because of Supreme Court rulings in like several states already they are actively violating constitutional rights of these people?
02:22:23.000Or do we say, something must be done, and Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act, and, you know, hypothetically go in and enforce constitutional order?
02:22:30.000I thought he should have done it on day two of the riots.
02:22:32.000But it's like there's the riots, and then there's the shutdown, and it's like they're two different psychotics.
02:22:37.000No, listen, the Insurrection Act has been invoked numerous times, like a couple dozen times, and the most recent was for riots, 1992 LA riots.
02:22:47.000Then you also had the Baltimore riots.
02:22:48.000Then you had the Chicago riots in 1968.
02:22:50.000These were nowhere near as crazy as what we saw.
02:22:53.000Because of the Insurrection Act problem.
02:24:35.000Yeah, now you're thrusted into it where when a Black Lives Matter throws a garbage can through your window, now you're in the political game.
02:25:11.000If, I think, if you had 10 million people in DC, I think Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act, he'd overturn the elections, he'd just do whatever he wants because he has the people right there.
02:25:19.000He would literally just be like, say something.
02:27:33.000But it's not as good as Facebook or YouTube, but it's the only way to make it happen is to use it.
02:27:38.000I've been just distributing my content on, like, all the alt platforms.
02:27:41.000You know, it's like, little bit here, little bit there, but it adds up, you know, it's something significant altogether.
02:27:46.000Mine's just doing this new technology where they can, you can link it with your YouTube channel, so any new YouTube uploads will upload to Mine's automatically.
