Trump Announces NO TAXES ON OVERTIME, Says NO MORE Debates With Kamala w-Joel Valdez | Timcast IRLTrump Announces NO TAXES ON OVERTIME, Says NO MORE Debates With Kamala w-Joel Valdez | Timcast IRL
On this week's episode of the podcast, we discuss the latest in the Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump primary battle, including whether or not she should have a second debate, why she wants more debates, and what it means for the future of the Democratic primary race. Plus, we talk about the new Mr. Bocas Pumpkin Spice flavor, and why it's going to be the last time you can buy a bag of that.
00:00:30.000I wonder how long until Kamala Harris adopts the same position.
00:00:34.000But interestingly, while the political class does keep pushing that Kamala Harris won the debate, I don't think they're asking themselves what it means to win the debate because they're looking at decorum, they're looking at behavior, they're looking at Trump's attitude, and certainly I would agree if that's the metric.
00:00:50.000However, CNN ran a flash poll that found when it came to issues of the economy, people who favored Trump lightly favored him more afterwards on the economy.
00:01:02.000Now Kamala Harris wants more debates and Trump said no!
00:01:06.000Does Kamala want more debates because she did so well she wants to keep battering Trump, or does she want another debate because she missed her opportunity to articulate an economic position and Trump realizes he can't give her that opportunity?
00:02:25.000And so, uh, the original press of the Mr. Bocas pumpkin spice bags were when he was a living mascot.
00:02:32.000And in his memory, we are creating a special blend for him, for espresso, and this bag will never exist.

00:02:43.000We will have a big update for you next week on our lawsuit against the Kamala Harris campaign.
00:02:49.000It is ongoing, there have been some moves, but I gotta let the lawyers do their thing.
00:02:55.000Trust me when I say, we're going very, very fast relative to how these things normally Go, but I want to make sure you know that we have not stopped our efforts there.

00:03:12.000Joining us to talk about this and everything else is Joel Valdez.
00:04:19.000Kamala Harris comes out and says, oh yeah, no taxes on tips too.
00:04:23.000So Trump tries to undercut her by saying, oh yeah, no taxes on overtime.
00:04:27.000She's going to have to come out and entertain the same policy.
00:04:31.000Trump's then going to come out and say, 20% off taxes!
00:04:36.000We are looking at market competition towards the end of taxation.
00:04:41.000I wonder if he's going to keep one-upping Kamala, or she's trying to copy him, so he keeps one-upping her until he gets to the point where he goes, okay, fine, flat tax.
00:05:16.000I think that's her signature move right now, and it's interesting because she in no way is ever setting the trend.
00:05:23.000He is always leading, she is always following.
00:05:26.000That should tell you right now, for someone who took forever to release her policies, she should really just admit that she will do whatever Donald Trump tells her to.
00:05:34.000Yeah, also, he wants to get rid of tax on Social Security too, right?
00:06:03.000You pay taxes to make sure that you get to receive unemployment, and then when you receive unemployment, you're supposed to pay taxes on that again?
00:06:09.000On something you've already paid taxes on to get?
00:06:23.000And I think it's what voters need to hear right now, that there is a potential for relief to come because so many people are struggling economically, struggling to keep up with inflation, and also to keep up with the demoralization, right?
00:06:35.000If you feel like you're being told by the government, oh, but buying power is up, but you're saying, well, I am still paying a ton for everything and it seems to only be getting worse, hearing that someone actually wants to make your life easier is what you need.
00:06:48.000I think this would cost the government a bunch of money because they're not going to be taking in income tax over time, but it would save the citizens a lot of money, which then could incentivize them to spend it in other realms where they're going to be putting the money back into the government through other forms of taxation.
00:08:11.000And it also, I think, reaffirms that he is the leader of the Republican Party because, you know, Trump comes out with a brilliant policy followed by members of Congress introducing legislation almost immediately.
00:08:20.000I think when President Trump first said no tax on tips, Congressman Matt Gaetz introduced legislation that followed it immediately.
00:08:27.000With the Social Security, I think it was Congressman Thomas Massey introduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act so that there is an elimination of the unjust double tax, which Congresswoman Boebert is also a co-sponsor on.
00:08:42.000And so it's great to see that President Trump leads the charge.
00:08:45.000We have members of Congress backing him up and, you know, neocons in shambles.
00:09:09.000So imagine this, you're making, it's at this point now I think if you're, actually I'd be interested to check in with my old jobs and see how much they're paying now because when I was there it was like 10 bucks an hour.
00:09:22.000You are loading planes, you're getting 10 bucks an hour.
00:09:46.000Be there the whole day, because then you can get as many hours as you can in, and then you have the rest of the week for whatever other projects you're working on, whatever you want to do.
00:09:53.000But you always get hit with that mandatory overtime.
00:09:56.000If you're getting $10 an hour, and then you're only taking home $8, but now they say, but don't worry if you work overtime, you're going to be getting basically double your pay.
00:10:05.000Because now, the whole $15 is not going to be taxed at all.
00:10:08.000People are going to be begging for overtime.
00:10:11.000It's a good point because Trump says the people who work overtime are some of our hardest workers, but this is going to incentivize overtime.
00:10:54.000I think you really want to incentivize more employees is what you want.
00:10:58.000A lot of companies from what I know are having trouble hiring.
00:11:01.000One of the reasons they have to ask for extra overtime right now from current workers is that they do not have people applying to fill openings that they have.
00:11:09.000So while it could incentivize them to just continue to extend overtime hours for already overtime workers, I think you might see people who are not that interested in going to the job market right now start applying with more vigor.
00:11:23.000Because if you are able to say, OK, I'm going to work this many hours a week, but all of my overtime is actually going to be tax free, you ultimately earn a lot more in the long term over the course of a year.
00:11:35.000And I think people want that right now.
00:11:37.000Also, I'm wondering about people now that are on salaries and if they're going to end up feeling like they're getting screwed.
00:11:42.000It would be interesting if people start calculating it's better to work hourly than to earn, you know, whatever the salary wage is because there are, I mean, I know a lot of hourly workers who earn more than, you know, than other friends who have salary jobs just because the hourly offers more benefits.
00:11:57.000And overtime, like you don't get overtime and salary.
00:12:00.000Overtime, flex time, you can sometimes pick up more shifts, like with your salary, this is what you're earning and that's it.
00:12:05.000Yeah, I want to see this proposal somehow incentivize more workers as well.
00:12:11.000So like the company, although the income is going to be no income tax on overtime, the company maybe has less payroll tax if they have more employees.
00:12:21.000Or like a diminishing return on their payroll taxes the more employees that they bring in and keep under the overtime threshold.
00:12:28.000Because the government might be like, well, we're going to receive more money from your company if you have two employees working 40 hours than if you have one employee working 80.
00:12:35.000So we're going to incentivize you through tax reduction to hire more employees.
00:12:41.000I mean, this is a challenge with any kind of announcement of a policy like this.
00:12:46.000The details are not yet clear, and part of that is because, you know, unless it's done through executive action, it's going to have to be done through Congress, and that's always sort of a deal-making process.
00:12:58.000If there were a bill that said, we don't want to tax overtime anymore, you know somebody would tack on some kind of irrelevant proposal.
00:13:05.000How did it work the last time when they, you said that they were doing the social security, they didn't want to tax social security or they, what was it they wanted?
00:13:11.000As of now, it's just a bill that's been introduced by Thomas Massey.
00:13:14.000So I'm not sure if it's gone through a committee vote or if it goes straight to the House floor.
00:13:20.000There's a few different procedures, but I know that as of now, it's just a bill that's been introduced.
00:13:26.000So they could do that with something like this as well?
00:13:28.000Yeah, I'm not sure what appropriate committee it would have to go through.
00:13:32.000But, you know, when you introduce a bill and then put it through committee, that alone puts the members on their heels on how they're going to vote publicly.
00:13:45.000And so sometimes they don't want to do that.
00:13:46.000Sometimes they do some funny business to make sure that that bill doesn't see the light of day or, you know, they make some technicalities.
00:13:52.000Could you imagine being whatever committee member and then having to go back to your district and be like, oh, well, I'm on the committee for this thing, and we got sent a bill that meant that overtime hours wouldn't have been taxed, and I voted against it.
00:14:04.000I didn't want it to reach the rest of the chamber.
00:14:07.000That doesn't seem like it would bode well.
00:14:08.000I can't think of a district in America where people would be like, we don't care about that issue at all.
00:14:13.000I think most Americans would be impacted by this.
00:14:20.000Like, how would you message on the opposite of that?
00:14:22.000It would just be like, I could have helped overtime workers and instead I chose not to.
00:14:28.000Well, that's why they love their poison pills.
00:14:30.000The argument would be like, it's going to bankrupt this government program, which is going to end up costing seniors their social security because we're not taking enough income tax now because we're losing it to this free money.
00:14:41.000Social security is going to die anyway, so that one doesn't inspire me at least.
00:14:46.000I mean, probably Jolta will never get social security.
00:14:50.000It's a dying institution for most Americans.
00:14:52.000Current seniors, I feel awful for them, right?
00:14:54.000They shouldn't be double-taxed on Social Security.
00:14:56.000But it's not an institution that's sustainable.
00:14:58.000So I think if you tell younger voters, oh, well, it could potentially harm Social Security, they'd be like, well, what's new?
00:15:03.000Well, if there's another presidential debate, I'd love to see how Kamala would respond to that.
00:16:08.000It was a game where they decided, look, population's expanding, right?
00:16:12.000So let's just, instead of having to save for retirement or have a family take care of us, let's just make the expanding generations pay for it.
00:16:20.000Sooner or later, you—they must have been assuming at the time, like, look, people are going to keep having kids.
00:16:25.000So long as they have three kids, we got nothing to worry about.
00:16:30.000And now they're like, OK, it's going to implode.
00:16:32.000And all these politicians are like, I will not touch your social security because I don't want to lose the senior vote in the most important voting block.
00:16:54.000And the Simpsons made the joke in like 1992.
00:16:56.000When Abe Simpson is making fun of people, I think he's making fun of young people being like, good for nothing, so you just want everything for free.
00:17:02.000Then he runs into the social security officer and goes, I'm old, gimme it, I deserve it, it's mine!
00:17:08.000It's sad to think about elderly people going bankrupt and living on the street because they don't have any income at all.
00:17:14.000And this is a perverse system that told people, don't have a family, don't have kids, don't worry, you'll be fine, government will pay for it.
00:17:20.000We will by force make young people pay the bills of people who didn't have families.
00:18:03.000Well, if the whole point is just sending messages that are disruptive, Michael Malice is always the go-to as someone we need in a position of, like, Press authority, you know, so press secretary was great for the Libertarian Party.
00:18:17.000It crossed my mind when I was watching that debate that if you were, I told you this before the show, if you had been on stage in Trump's position instead of him and you were just able to actually explain some of the problems, like when Kamala was like, they were like, Trump, why didn't you vote for her border bill that put all these extra border agents on the border?
00:18:32.000And he ended up just defending his rallies and being like, people don't leave my rallies.
00:18:36.000I don't even want, hold on, people don't ever leave my rallies.
00:18:39.000Let's literally talk about why you voted against, or why you pushed to get this vote shot down to get all these border agents in there, because it was going to let more illegal immigrants come across every day, or every month, or whatever.
00:18:49.000Well, with all due respect, it's not that I control Congress or the Senate.
00:18:54.000I simply made a few phone calls to members of Congress and asked them what they had thought about it, and I gave them my opinion.
00:18:59.000And my opinion was that this bill actually codified an increase in unchecked, unvetted border crossings.
00:19:08.000And I made phone calls to members of Congress and asked them, why are they calling it a border security bill if it's going to bring more people in?
00:19:14.000I mean, if it's bringing more people in, Kamala's, you know, the Biden administration, we shouldn't be supporting this.
00:19:43.000And the problem is, politicians, and I think, you know, look, Trump can do whatever he wants, there's a- you guys can insult me and tell me I'm wrong all day, next I ain't never gonna run for office.
00:19:51.000In my opinion, however, which I am entitled to, I think the problem with a lot of politicians is they'd say something like, that was an amnesty bill!
00:20:17.000If you come to this country, you've got to come in legally.
00:20:19.000That means you come to our borders, you come to our embassies, you come to our consulates, you fill out the paperwork.
00:20:24.000Their border security bill is what they called it, but it allowed up to 5,000 illegal immigrants to cross the border without being vetted at all, and they called that a reduction.
00:20:35.000Well, also, Kamala Harris said on the debate stage that he killed the bill because of politics.
00:20:40.000They didn't want to give him a win, but it wasn't because of politics, it was because of policy.
00:20:43.000If we want zero people crossing our border illegally, and we have 10,000 people crossing, and you come to me and say, let's set the number at 5,000, I'm going to say, no, the number is zero.
00:21:10.000You can call it a border security bill every single day, but the reality is it was okaying a certain amount of crime in America at a time when Americans, one of their top issues is crime.
00:21:20.000No, there was a lot wrong with that bill.
00:21:22.000It's 5,000 illegals every day, increasing green cards by 50,000 a year, work permits for adult children of H-1B holders, immediate work permits to every illegal alien released from custody.
00:21:44.000And then they, what's the right word for this, they dissolve the asylum claims so there's no enforcement action against these people now, which is effective amnesty.
00:21:54.000They say, come here, here's a work permit, you have a court date in one month.
00:21:59.000A week goes by and they say your court date's been dismissed, have a nice day.
00:22:02.000Which basically means they're here with a work permit, and they can't be deported.
00:22:07.000They're basically giving them amnesty.
00:24:31.000She answered her questions as insults to Donald Trump, and Trump responded to the insults, and all anyone saw that didn't know anything about politics was two people yelling at each other.
00:24:39.000I think the problem is the media is looking at this like sports, right?
00:24:42.000They think if Kamala gets Donald Trump flustered, she gets a point.
00:24:47.000So if she does it twice, she gets two points.
00:24:48.000If he doesn't do it to her, then, you know, he doesn't get any points.
00:24:51.000But both candidates went in with different objectives.
00:24:55.000And I think her campaign really miscalculated by trying to make Trump look bad.
00:25:00.000That's why they wanted the mics, right?
00:25:01.000They said, you know, the American people deserve to hear what he's saying, however deranged it is.
00:25:06.000They wanted him to be this caricature that they have created of him.
00:25:10.000But Donald Trump is a known quality in American politics.
00:25:13.000I mean, he launched his campaign for presidency, what, the first one eight years ago.
00:25:17.000He's been on the scene for over a decade.
00:25:19.000He's been a public figure for way longer than that.
00:25:22.000And so if he looks brash, if he looks like he's getting angry, it doesn't make a difference.
00:25:26.000She had to prove that she was A, a personality, and B, someone with policies who understood them.
00:25:37.000There are clearly reasons for concern, besides the data noted above.
00:25:43.000Polling right after the debate found that Harris did little to improve voter confidence in her ability to handle the all-important issue of the economy.
00:25:50.000A CNN flash poll among debate watchers found that before the debate, voters trusted Trump over Harris on the economy by 16 points.
00:25:58.000And after the debate, they favored Trump by 20 points.
00:26:01.000Furthermore, if you look at the crosstabs, working-class voters before the debate favored Trump over Harris to handle the economy by 29 points, an advantage for Trump which increased slightly to 32 points after the debate.
00:26:13.000Not exactly what the Harris campaign had in mind.
00:26:16.000So if you want to talk about who won, you can sit here and say Trump got mad and got flustered and Kamala sounded better.
00:26:21.000Dance all the way to November, for all I care.
00:26:24.000Because when it comes to the economy, stupid, Trump won.
00:26:28.000I got like, if Harris acted like she acted on that, I'm not even going to call it a debate because they weren't debating anything.
00:26:35.000I didn't even hear them debate any ideas.
00:26:37.000If she acted like that in the room with Xi Jinping, she'd be laughed out of that room and just totally ignored in the future.
00:27:52.000And I think the New York Times put out a piece where they said that undecided voters had said that Kamala wasn't able to separate herself from Biden on issues like the economy and the military.
00:28:02.000I mean, she straight up said that she was proud.
00:28:04.000Of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:29:42.000They named her the Border Czar immediately.
00:29:44.000And now that we've seen the border just totally destroyed under their administration, now all of a sudden she had no involvement in the mainstream media saying she had no involvement.
00:30:00.000Before we begin, we have just received word that Squiggly Miggly will not be attending tonight's debate due to the fact he blew his head off with a 3D-printed shotgun.
00:30:08.000We want to remind the audience to please not talk out loud, to not applaud.
00:30:37.000I felt like the fact checks on Trump, many of which were incorrect, were so obviously Like, it was so obviously against Trump and to Kamala's benefit.
00:30:47.000They did ask her the occasional tough questions, which a lot of times she either avoided answering or stumbled through.
00:30:52.000But it is striking when you say the CNN moderators were better, you know, like, I mean, partially because everyone just watched Joe Biden self-destruct, but they interrupted less than the ABC moderator.
00:31:03.000The most shocking moment of the debate was when Trump was asked if he still thought he lost 2020.
00:33:20.000She would give these platitudes like, well, I'm for an opportunity economy.
00:33:23.000And then she would never really explain it.
00:33:25.000And the other part is that she spent a lot of time talking about Trump.
00:33:30.000Most of this, like if you remember, Trump was like, you, I put these tariffs in, they were good, it's going to help us on the world stage, it's good for our economy, whatever.
00:33:38.000You guys left them in place even though you attacked me over them.
00:33:41.000That was one of the only times the moderators were then like, yeah, do you want to explain why they're still there?
00:33:45.000She completely ignored that, wouldn't talk about it at all.
00:33:48.000I mean, to me, Trump has an established legacy.
00:34:08.000Kamala Harris has a 75% chance to win the election according to Polly Market, and it looks like they've got around 27 or 28 million dollars on the line right here.
00:34:43.000This is what we would refer... I mean, if Nate Silver is correct, as an individual expert using a forecasting model, and he says Trump today has a 60% chance to win, you're EV positive.
00:34:55.00060% chance to win, 75% are, you know, four times your money.
00:35:00.000All he's gotta do to win is look like a good guy, Trump.
00:35:03.000He's gotta look like a good guy that doesn't get upset.
00:35:05.000If he gets freaked out and angry, he's gonna lose.
00:35:12.000If you use anger to propel you forward, yeah, but if you're getting taunted by the person across from you, no.
00:35:16.000That's right, but if his anger is, and he had this at the debate, I think he had a good amount, If his anger was, let's say she says, Trump's rallies, people are leaving early.
00:35:29.000And then Trump got angrier and went, excuse me?
00:35:32.000How dare you bring up something so inconsequential when the American people are suffering right now?
00:35:48.000I also think he could have gotten angry about the fact that she's being flippant about his rallies when a Trump supporter died at one of his rallies in Pennsylvania.
00:35:55.000I mean, she is pretending like that didn't happen, which is amazing.
00:35:59.000And frankly, the ABC moderators let her.
00:36:01.000He was the only one to reference the assassination attempt, which I think is a major issue.
00:36:06.000I mean, she is protected by the Secret Service.
00:36:26.000But I've heard him talk to Elon Musk about bringing him in to fix a lot of bureaucracy, which, on that Elon Musk call, which was pretty promising.
00:36:34.000I know he did put the tariffs on, he really stuck it to a lot of foreign countries with, he's talked a lot about NATO paying their fair share, things like that.
00:36:54.000You're never going to get Ian to vote for you unless you bring up... No, if you're going to talk about doing the thing that we did the last 150 years and it's going to work, you're wrong.
00:37:10.000You go to the grocery store, you go to the gas pump, and you see that everything is expensive, and this is the worst time to be making good money in America.
00:37:18.000And they had great times under President Trump, and that's all people need to hear.
00:38:43.000I'm just saying that like even left-wing analysts in mainstream media afterwards were saying, you know, obviously they're praising her everything that they can, but I watched three different networks talk about this and every single one was like, but when we got to closing arguments and he said why she's already there, why hasn't she done anything about it?
00:39:01.000I mean, I think a lot of Americans and of course, you know, everyone has their perceptive.
00:39:05.000I'm not trying to tell you that, you know, You know, obviously I respect your opinion, but I think that a lot of Americans have that question when it comes to Kamala Harris.
00:39:13.000You can't be both the vice president and also say, well, I have nothing to do with this administration and so therefore I'm going to be a fresh face.
00:39:22.00033 tie-breaking votes as of September of 2024.
00:39:25.000You take the last statement in a debate.
00:39:27.000It's not to leave a poison pill for everyone about your enemy.
00:39:30.000It's about to give people hope about you.
00:39:32.000That's the reason you speak last, is to get them remembering you when they walk out, remembering the things you said when they walk out, not to be thinking about her.
00:39:42.000I mean, well, I'll concede a point to Ian.
00:39:45.000I definitely would have liked to hear about, you know, the future in his closing remarks, but I think everything that he said, he completely nailed it on the head.
00:39:53.000And I think that his closing statement won him the debate.
00:39:55.000No, I think— Oh, I totally disagree.
00:40:41.000I will produce so much energy in this country, your gasoline costs will go down, your heat will go down, your bills, they will go down, your phone bill, your health insurance will all follow suit, your groceries will go down, your wages will go up, and we start with energy.
00:42:36.000Like, if you want someone who said, I'm going to try and do these things, versus the person who's like, I think everything in Washington is perfect the way it is, I would still want the guy who... My point is, on draining the swamp, Donald Trump brought in bad people.
00:42:50.000And regretted it later and fired a bunch of them.
00:42:52.000And so many people would jokingly refer to this as, he drained a lot of the swamp, but the swamp monsters were still there.
00:42:59.000The water came down, we saw the swamp monsters, and he didn't get rid of them.
00:43:02.000Hopefully, now that he's learned from this, the next time he will.
00:43:06.000But voting for Kamala Harris is a guarantee that that never happens.
00:43:11.000She's very tied in with the bureaucratic empire.
00:43:14.000And I'm letting you guys know, I really want some positive change in this country, and I would really love to see someone empower our industrial base.
00:43:21.000But I'm just calling this objectively as I saw it.
00:43:30.000And he said a Trump victory is an RFK victory.
00:43:32.000He says, you vote for Trump, and we're going to make America healthy again.
00:43:37.000I gotta tell you, bro, I understand you have a social argument, concerns about the divisive nature of where this country is, but I feel like, mathematically, you can call Trump every name in the book, but RFK Jr.
00:43:57.000I was kind of worried about RFK remaining on the ballot to split up the vote in some way, but I mean, I think his movement and our movement align very much, and I'm glad to see we're all on the same team.
00:44:12.000I think Ian really didn't like the presidential debate because they didn't bring up graphing enough.
00:44:35.000It would have been great if he talked about industry.
00:44:38.000Yeah, I mean, obviously that's a bit silly if he just said the word graphene, but I mean, I would have lit up if he had, just to make that noise known by the populace.
00:45:06.000He is, like, when we talk about seed oils, when we talk about environmental toxins, when we talk about radiation, all this garbage, him being a part of the Trump team is one of the most important things of our generation.
00:45:17.000Yeah, there's other people, too, that are very behind.
00:45:33.000So I'm just saying, if you don't like Trump, that's totally fine, and I understand a lot of people don't like the guy, but vote for those that are around him.
00:45:46.000And he's called out the censorship, the war machine, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, and the—you know, when he talks about the environmental diseases and chronic illness, He's not pointing to, you know, a guy that we're mad at.
00:46:01.000He's talking to a state of emergence in this country where we became negligent and allowed phthalates, PCBs, plastic, all this garbage in our surroundings, in our food, that's poisoned people, and he wants to solve that problem.
00:46:14.000And it's one of the only times we've actually gotten a real chance at having someone come in to deal with this.
00:46:18.000Then you gotta throw in Elon Musk's Department of Government, what is it?
00:47:20.000So Joe Biden wears a Trump hat, keeps the Trump hat, and the White House says it's because he's trying to show unity or build unity.
00:47:31.000But there's some speculation, and I think it's wishful thinking, but speculation.
00:47:35.000So when Joe Biden drops out of the race initially, it was through a Twitter letter.
00:47:40.000And the conspiracy theory was Biden did not release that letter.
00:47:44.000He had been saying the whole time up to that point, I will not drop out no matter what.
00:47:49.000Then all of a sudden, without a video or a public statement, a letter appears.
00:47:53.000The conspiracy theory was that staffers Uploaded that to his account without his permission or knowledge to force him, because now you can't go back.
00:48:34.000He must feel a certain level of betrayal from the Democrats and these Democrats that he has considered his friends and allies for years.
00:48:42.000I mean, I was listening to a New York Times analyst talk about this afterwards, and she said that There was actually it was a New York Times interview with a senior executive for the DNC.
00:48:56.000And she said that she saw Biden's letter go out on July 21st.
00:49:01.000And she was like, oh, my goodness, it's happening.
00:49:03.000And then there was like a hour, 30 minute delay before he released a statement endorsing Kamala.
00:49:09.000And she said, During that time, she was actually kind of nervous because
00:49:12.000it was like, he hasn't endorsed Kamala.
00:50:25.000Could you imagine some people are tweeting, and I know it's wishful thinking, the October surprise is actually Biden coming out saying vote Trump.
00:50:46.000But what if he just, like, says, actually, I've been thinking about it, you know, this process wasn't right, you know, she didn't win the primary.
00:50:52.000I can't, in good faith, continue to endorse Kamala Harris, who otherwise is a lovely lady, I'm sure.
00:50:58.000You know, what if he just sort of turns tides and starts just not being pro-Trump but being subtly anti-Kamala?
00:51:06.000And he just says, if you take a look at my political positions from the 90s, you know, some 30 some odd years ago into the 80s, I mean, we're going almost 40 years ago.
00:51:17.000I kind of agree with Donald Trump on most of these things.
00:51:20.000The only reason Joe Biden, like Joe Biden's politics now are what he's being told to say.
00:52:40.000Some of them will say, like, this is... Yeah, some of them do have a... I forget who has this.
00:52:44.000I think Chip Roy has, like, a Chip Roy Press Office title.
00:52:49.000I think it'd be helpful to know that some staff are putting out... But ultimately, when, you know, if a congressman is signing off on a tweet, that's, you know, that's their voice, too.
00:52:58.000It should be a law that any material representation must be... Like, if the account is run by multiple people, then You should not be able to, as a politician, say that it's you when it's someone else.
00:53:11.000Especially like what we're looking at with Biden.
00:53:13.000If that truly is the administrative state was in there, and I'm just saying his staffers might have been contacted by like deep, deep, deep state, been like, you're going to be putting this stuff out now and Biden's no longer with us anymore.
00:53:23.000And they're like, okay, we're going to do what we're told because that's why we're here.
00:53:37.000And I think that's what they did, is they ran a social media coup on Biden.
00:53:40.000I don't know, I can't prove it, because I can't tell if he controlled that account or someone else did, but the stuff that was coming out of that did not sound like the words coming out of his mouth.
00:53:47.000Oh, I don't think he runs his accounts at all.
00:53:55.000I think it would be even difficult to replicate like his random capitalization.
00:53:58.000Like he is making it so that he is a unique voice only on his platform.
00:54:03.000But that was not the case with Biden at all.
00:54:05.000I think there was even a case where Corinne Jean-Pierre clearly tweeted something she meant to be from her account that was actually delivered from the Biden account.
00:54:14.000The day and age of social media is fascinating and it is also interesting to sort of contrast the presidency with especially Congress because there are so many young people coming up who are aware of how influential social media can be.
00:54:26.000I mean this is one of AOC's big wins that she established a voice on social media that people really felt resonated with who she was.
00:54:32.000I think other staffers are able to do this but not all of them have have the same tenacity for it.
00:54:39.000It would be great if there were visible short-term consequences to being stupid and being wrong.
00:54:45.000So, you know, Corinne Jean-Pierre says insane things every day, and I don't even know why anyone bothers to pay attention.
00:54:49.000And then you get poor Doocy over there asking real questions, and then she just gives a nonsense answer, and all the other corporate press just clap.
00:54:55.000And I'm like, in governance, the problem is someone will propose a policy, and we don't know what the ramifications are going to be.
00:55:03.000If there was a way to actually run a simulation before doing it, That would be great.
00:55:08.000And then I started thinking, like, what if that's the real purpose of the simulation that we're in?
00:55:11.000It's one of the most inconsequential things ever.
00:55:14.000It's a session of Congress, and they're like, I've got a bill proposing a tax on imported cheeses from Europe.
00:55:20.000Well, we need to see what it's going to do before we vote yes on it.
00:55:23.000So the entire universal span of our existence right now is actually just a three-minute AI button press in Congress, where they're trying to see what happens with this one particular tariff.
00:55:31.000I've actually thought that when your body dies, that you get to Time speeds up and you get to see the rest of reality play out as if it it was Programmed by your behavior up to that point so like depending on what you do in your life You're gonna see the result of it play out really quickly afterwards, and you think oh well that I didn't like how all that turned out I'm gonna try that again kind of thing
00:56:04.000I'm just saying the issue with Congress is they say, hey, we want to ban this thing, and they don't actually know what that's going to do.
00:56:11.000So perverse incentives is the best example of these mistakes that government often make.
00:56:16.000Shout out to Chris Rufo, who offered five grand for evidence of people eating cats in Springfield, Ohio, to which I pointed out, All that's gonna happen is some Haitian dude's gonna be like, dude, quick, get a cat.
00:56:29.000You make a good point about AI and a useful function for AI would be to run simulations on outcomes of policy, like super computations and stuff like that on quantum computers.
00:56:40.000That'd be great to be able to watch like 7000 potential outcomes of one vote.
00:56:44.000Or if members of Congress could just read the bill.
00:56:48.000Or not be paid by taking lobbyist money to make decisions on their behalf.
00:56:53.000Or they weren't allowed to sneak unrelated additions into any bill.
00:56:57.000Yeah, let the bills be single subject bills and pertain to the actual germanity of what they're talking about.
00:57:04.000Did you guys ever, with the Gates office, did you, I don't want, you can't speak for Matt, obviously, but did you guys ever, like, regret pushing McCarthy out?
00:57:16.000There was nothing that could be trusted out of his mouth because he was owned by the special interests and the lobbyists.
00:57:23.000And he had repeatedly made these promises that were broken and we weren't going to tolerate it if we had something to do about it.
00:57:31.000Was it where his hands tied and he just had no, he's like a cog in a machine of, and it's like, you're in that position now, you're going to do what you're told kind of thing?
00:57:58.000I mean, you know, Were you guys, were the congressmen who really pushed against the speaker ostracized in any way?
00:58:09.000Did you see that the movement had some support?
00:58:12.000I mean, they were calling for Gates to be kicked out of the Republican Party.
00:58:17.000Some even throwing- But that's obviously died away.
00:58:20.000I mean, like today as it stands- But like immediately after we kicked him out, I mean, lots of people were calling for him to even be expelled.
00:58:50.000You know, like Paul Ryan had no heart.
00:58:52.000Then you got Kevin McCarthy who has no brain and now we have Mike Johnson who has no courage.
00:58:59.000And it is frustrating to when you don't have the votes to get a genuine person who will
00:59:08.000be a change agent in those positions to just have.
00:59:12.000You know, someone who kind of turns out to just be another disappointment.
00:59:14.000But, you know, at the end of the day, we were facing an option between keeping this, you know, lobbyist puppet in office and not fighting our battles, or we could try something new.
00:59:27.000And we decided to try something new because we told our constituents that we were going to be fighting for the promises that We had told them that we got from the January fight, which were single subject spending bills and a lot more.
00:59:44.000And they thought that they could, you know, push us around and, you know, keep pushing the deadline for, or I'm sorry, keep moving the goalposts for things that needed to be done up until, you know, the end of the year when they should have been working on it all year.
01:00:01.000And, you know, we weren't going to have it.
01:00:03.000You mentioned before the show about the continuing resolution bill that had the, there was something attached about that Massey was talking about.
01:00:11.000Yeah, there's a bill called the SAVE Act that was attached to the CR, or was supposed to be attached to the CR, which actually was passed a few months ago.
01:00:19.000I think over 221 members of Congress voted in favor of it, including, I think, five Democrats.
01:00:27.000I might be wrong on that, but there were definitely Democrats who joined in on the bill.
01:00:33.000And that was kind of like the shiny object for people to vote for the CR.
01:00:38.000And the SAVE Act's good, but it wasn't going to be implemented in time for November.
01:00:45.000And like President Trump said on True Social, if there weren't absolute assurances that
01:00:50.000we were going to get election security, you should vote no on it.
01:00:53.000And we, you know, it looked like eventually both sides said that they weren't going to vote for it.
01:03:16.000Not all Trump supporters see reality, but a lot of the reason people are supporting Trump is because he was redpilling the world in real time in like 2016 and 17, talking about the administrative state and stuff.
01:03:25.000What these midwits don't understand is that your run-of-the-mill average person collects information peripherally.
01:03:33.000This means that with a song like this going viral, this post on Reddit Libertarian's Axe account has nearly a million views.
01:03:42.000No one's going to run a fact check on this!
01:03:44.000There's going to be some random guy hanging out with his buddies, and someone's going to play it, and he's going to hear in the background while he's watching a football game, they're eating the dogs!
01:03:58.000And people are going to be like, yeah, I heard the same thing.
01:03:59.000What's this Trump eating the dogs and then people will look into it?
01:04:02.000Well, that's also a win of Trump's from the debate.
01:04:06.000Like he was driving the narrative and continues to drive the narrative after the debate because, you know, some of the commentary world, the news pundits are talking about, you know, the minor details of who won the debate.
01:04:21.000Regular folks that I talk to, they're talking about psycho migrants eating dogs in Springfield.
01:04:25.000They're talking about illegal gang, illegal Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in parts of Aurora, Colorado.
01:04:33.000Definitely drove more attention to Springfield, Ohio.
01:04:36.000I think the news media was just about ready to smother that one.
01:04:39.000And now, you know, at least I know a number of reporters who have been like, I'm headed there immediately, which for better or worse in the town.
01:04:46.000But, you know, It makes it so this is a conversation of like, that's a crazy thing for Trump to say, but why would he say it?
01:04:52.000And I think the impact of crime by illegal immigrants in this country is actually undeniable and a concern for a lot of Americans.
01:04:59.000This doesn't even make Hassan look bad, right?
01:05:19.000And you could argue that that was complimentary, that he's cheering Trump on.
01:05:23.000I just read this from ABC News that Ohio is sending troopers and $2.5 million to Springfield.
01:05:29.000The governor was on Fox News today being like, there are very serious problems.
01:05:32.000And he said, well, I think he was deferential on the pets thing, but he said they can't drive cars.
01:05:38.000The driving laws in Haiti are way different, and so these people come here, there's 15,000 of them, and the law says if you're 18 you can get a driver's license, but they don't know how to drive and they're crashing their cars.
01:06:25.000There's a video of a woman crying, saying that she found a decapitated dog.
01:06:29.000We don't know where these people are from.
01:06:31.000She's crying, being like, y'all are making fun of it, you're making jokes about it, and we're suffering, we're scared.
01:06:36.000There's a bunch of videos of locals being like, I've seen it, they're rounding up cats.
01:06:39.000And the biggest thing is, like, 15,000 Haitian migrants have arrived in Springfield pretty rapidly.
01:06:45.000Springfield is, what, less than 55,000 people, so it's a big boost on their population in, I think, about three years.
01:06:53.000They have temporary protected status under the Biden administration.
01:06:56.000There are local resources now being diverted to support them, like there's a Haiti community center that's specifically to help the refugees which, you know, I don't know if they are technically refugees or what their claim was when they arrived, but it's causing this relationship with the town where the people are struggling and I do not think the the claim that all immigrants assimilate apply here.
01:07:22.000It seems like there is a divide between this growing population of people who come from a different culture And who are maybe not aware or abiding by all of the laws of the area and then the locals who feel as though this is not something that benefits them.
01:07:36.000I mean, DeWine, the governor of Ohio, just asked for additional support from the federal government because of this result.
01:07:43.000You know, I know the idea that like we would say, oh, they're eating the dogs freaks people out.
01:07:49.000But in some ways, I'm glad that's how Trump put it because I don't think you can just say that immigration has no effect or only has a positive effect on America.
01:07:57.000It can have a negative effect when there's no cultural assimilation and there's no real investment in the nation.
01:08:03.000If you're a population living somewhere but lawlessly, that's not great.
01:08:08.000Yeah, and you also have residents who are going to town meetings on camera voicing that they've seen firsthand these migrants taking geese out of ponds, seeing people's pets going missing, and then there's a weird barbecue happening in the alley.
01:08:25.000So you have people that are just totally not connected to politics now coming to their representatives and saying, what the hell's going on?
01:08:40.000On the other hand, I don't think that's exactly the immigration system we want for the president to say, well, these people now are granted an ability to stay here.
01:09:40.000So even if we want to say, fine, I don't care, drop the dog thing, the governor is talking about this, the locals are talking about this, they don't know how to drive cars.
01:09:48.000But he says they don't have driver education, so there's crazy videos of them crashing because they just don't know how to drive.
01:09:56.000Man, it's hard, I think, for people outside of it to visualize how that can change a society when a fourth of your people don't speak the language or are from outside of the country.
01:10:07.000Not that they all don't speak the language, but within a three-year period how Yeah, a lot of the residents are talking about the wait times at hospitals and for medical services.
01:10:18.000I mean, separate from the more like spicy headline making topics, it's a very difficult thing to drop on a small town in America that might be already struggling economically.
01:10:29.000And that's what the Biden administration did because they do not care about middle America.
01:10:33.000He said, I'm going to grant them status, and that's it.
01:10:57.000But once again, I agree with you that Kamala goaded Trump and Trump started getting too involved in these, like, talking about the election was a mistake.
01:11:05.000He did correct that and said it's old news.
01:11:23.000I think she's talking to people in this instance about immigration and deportation.
01:11:27.000She seems to be talking to people that don't understand what's happening, or they're just hearing about it in the news.
01:11:32.000And he's talking to the people that are directly being impacted or involved with people in their neighborhood that are creating gangs or New weird, not weird, but new cultures of like strange, you call it whatever, weird, strange, just different cultures.
01:12:28.000They eat them like we eat pigs kind of thing?
01:12:30.000It depends on what you read, but if you Google search and you set the time frame for only before August, you'll see a lot of stories about how it's a rarity.
01:13:14.000You have a cat, you open the door, the cat goes off.
01:13:17.000So what if, here's the reasonable assumption, if Haitians do eat cats, you know, from Haiti, not like somebody who's born in America and is Haitian, okay?
01:13:25.000There's a woman who made a video where she says she's Haitian, but she's from America, and she's like, her dad, like, talked about this stuff.
01:13:42.000They didn't go and steal it from someone's house, it was a cat walking around the neighborhood that they just thought was an animal, a wild animal.
01:13:47.000So when we see complaints from locals about ducks and geese being taken, there's a video, there's a photo, it's not from Ohio, but it's a guy carrying a goose, we don't know exactly what the context is, but if it is reasonable to assume that they do take ducks and geese, And what's the difference of them grabbing a cat off the street?
01:14:05.000They're walking through the park and they see a duck and they see a cat and they're like, here you go, meat.
01:14:09.000I think if you've got people who group in a society where they hunt for food and they eat whatever food they can get, or they have different traditions, I don't understand why the media wants to play this.
01:14:23.000It is not unreasonable to say a foreign culture that Has reports of eating cats, comes to the United States and doesn't understand our norms, our laws, whatever, eats cats.
01:14:32.000Yeah, in three years without, I mean, indoctrination takes decades to learn, to really, it's not like they come here and start watching the news and start to immediately all learn everything about American culture.
01:14:44.000You get here and you're like, where's Little Haiti?
01:14:45.000I need to go hang out with people that speak my language.
01:15:16.000I'd like to give a shout-out to the Daily Wire crew and everyone who worked on What Is A Woman as well as Am I Racist?
01:15:21.000It is some of the greatest and most important activism, some of the most effective and brilliant activism, and Matt Walsh deserves some kind of like...
01:15:30.000I don't know, independent media Emmy equivalent or whatever.
01:15:34.000Riley Gaines says, several interviewees from Matt Walsh's new film, Amiracist, have deactivated their ex accounts since the trailer went public.
01:15:42.000As always, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
01:15:58.000It seems like she may be lining up a fraud claim.
01:16:02.000And I noticed this right away reading her statement.
01:16:05.000She makes reference to receiving money, $15,000, to participate in a film called Shades of Justice about efforts to address racism in the United States.
01:16:14.000They plan to interview anti-racist activists, authors, and thought leaders in service of supporting the cause of racial equity.
01:16:20.000They offered between $10,000 and $20,000 for an interview.
01:16:22.000I said, let's meet in the middle with $15,000 and agreed to participate.
01:16:26.000When she arrived, she says a few things felt off.
01:16:28.000The group did not make eye contact with me, and the interviewer who was introduced as Matt appeared to be wearing an ill-fitting wig.
01:16:34.000Matt presented himself as someone new to anti-racist work and seemed earnest, and his questions did not come across as adversarial.
01:16:41.000By the end, however, things got weird.
01:16:43.000She basically goes on to explain the scene that everybody's seen already, where she pays reparations to the black producer, Ben.
01:16:48.000She tries to make it seem like Ben is a victim when the producer of the film is clearly in on it with Matt.
01:16:53.000Here's where it gets interesting, though.
01:16:54.000She does go on to criticize Matt, but she brings up how it was misrepresented, it was a different film, and I wonder if she's trying to present some kind of fraud claim.
01:17:04.000Now, so I've had some conversations behind the scenes asking some friends of mine who are lawyers what they thought.
01:17:11.000None of this is by means of legal expertise or anything, just some... I'm curious, and I want to say something I want to opine on.
01:17:20.000When you get those Borat-style mockumentaries, my understanding is he doesn't pay anybody, but I don't know for sure.
01:17:26.000My understanding was that he just goes and says, oh, we're filming a video about this wacky guy who moves to America.
01:17:34.000What Robin is claiming is that it was a different film name, and they materially misrepresented what was being requested from her, and the reason why they were giving her money.
01:17:51.000Imagine you were offered a role in a movie and they said, Ian, we want you to be in a commercial for the Super Bowl where you are going to, I don't know, cut your nose hair or something using someone's scissors or something like this.
01:18:08.000Let's say you agree to be in that commercial.
01:18:27.000And they asked her to take a picture, and what she didn't know was that They ran it as an advertisement where it was her and her husband, and they were little kids who were disgustingly ugly, and they were advertising plastic surgery.
01:18:41.000Basically using her image without her knowing to make claims that she was actually an ugly person who got surgery to sell plastic surgery.
01:18:52.000I'm wondering if they went to her and they said, it's a film called Shades of Justice, we're going to pay you $15,000 in exchange for your interview, which is legal consideration, but misrepresenting it.
01:19:07.000The first thing I thought when I read this was, I wonder if she wants to sue for fraud, or she's trying to make that the claim.
01:19:15.000As an actor in that situation, I would feel defrauded, for sure.
01:19:20.000If they paid me and used me to promote some message that I didn't agree to, yeah, hopefully there would be a legal system in place to help me against a company that would do that kind of thing.
01:19:30.000I'll say a couple things on top of that, though.
01:19:32.000If she did sue the Daily Wire, they'd make substantially more money.
01:19:35.000They may be counting on these people suing, but also it may actually just be that they never misrepresented anything she said.
01:19:44.000Everything she said was her own words, and so she may not have any claims at all.
01:19:49.000And I have to imagine the Daily Wire had strong legal go through everything.
01:19:53.000I'm just saying it sounds like she wants to take the angle that she was that they committed fraud against her.
01:19:57.000I wonder if they actually created a company.
01:19:59.000Was it called Shades of... Shades of Justice was the film.
01:20:03.000So they didn't actually put out a film called Shades of Justice, but if they like created an entity that then paid her and so it was on the table, like that they had a company made just for the purpose of owning this movie, or if it was actually Daily Wire saying that they were a different company misrepresenting the company.
01:20:20.000That would have been a different story.
01:20:21.000I gotta be honest though, if they reached out, if the Daily Wire reached out to Robin DiAngelo and said, we're working on a documentary film called Am I Racist, where we explore racism, we talk to academics, that name is not bad.
01:20:47.000I'm sure they wanted her to have that guard down.
01:20:49.000I think that she was talking to some kind of an ally.
01:20:51.000Yeah, I was gonna say, as long as it wasn't the Daily Wire that reached out, she would have not said yes to that.
01:20:54.000And my race is a film title, she might have gone for.
01:20:56.000Or if she said yes, then she would have been very defensive against the Daily Wire and would have, you know, wouldn't have done some ridiculous things on camera.
01:21:02.000But Matt Walsh literally walks in the room and she doesn't know who he is.
01:21:05.000Because she says ill-fitting wing, I'm like, you thought that later.
01:21:15.000I think Matt Walsh is someone who is intellectually curious.
01:21:17.000I think he really did want her genuine take and response, which is also interesting.
01:21:24.000You were asked questions that someone really did want the answer to.
01:21:27.000It wasn't like a gotcha prank and then he, I mean, I guess she had to pay the producer, but it was humiliating if these are your values, I would assume.
01:22:09.000I just, I can only imagine the things that Matt Walsh has seen that has brought him to a point where he is unfazed by all of these things before him.
01:25:20.000Well, in the literal sense of what most rational human beings think it means, it's people who believe that white racial genetics and ethnicities are superior to other races.
01:25:30.000Of course, to these people, it literally just means Western civilization.
01:25:48.000Everybody knows what white supremacy is, and the quote-unquote anti-racist authors know exactly what white supremacy is.
01:25:54.000They decided to use the phrase white supremacy different to how it normally is used in an effort to manipulate people of weak will.
01:26:02.000So the technique is take a phrase that is obviously a bad thing that everyone hates, apply something else to it, and then you can demonize that thing.
01:26:13.000So for instance, What they're talking about is Western civilization.
01:26:18.000They say being on time is white supremacy.
01:27:19.000And I said, I was like, somewhat jokingly, but somewhat seriously, and I said, I will not sit here, because I was at a table full of people, and have a white supremacist tell me that he is better than my people and my ancestry or whatever.
01:27:40.000They are white people who think they are superior and they're guilty about it.
01:27:44.000I'm not exaggerating, it's not meant to be cute.
01:27:47.000When people like Robin DiAngelo give money to a black man, she's literally saying, it's because I'm better off than you are, so you need this.
01:29:58.000All I know is I was at like Google World or whatever it was called.
01:30:01.000And they talked about how they intentionally... Gangnam Style was a psyop is what you're saying?
01:30:06.000It was a marketing campaign by international outlets that they wanted to isolate a song that they saw like Macarena that could be like a bop.
01:30:16.000And so they worked a big marketing campaign to make it a meme.
01:31:20.000They found him on YouTube or whatever.
01:31:22.000Oh, you know, and like, I don't know much about that story with Justin Bieber, but I'm pretty sure it was like he was already assigned talent and they just pretended like they found some kid on YouTube.
01:32:08.000The problem is, Na Paul Baji is the best Psy song, and they didn't promote it, so Americans don't even know it, and it's way better than Gangnam Style.
01:32:25.000Like, Psy is good, but Na Paul Baji is his best song.
01:32:28.000I defy anyone to challenge me on that.
01:32:32.000And it's just that it wasn't a big promotion for them, so it never really got big.
01:32:36.000Yeah, the singles they lined up, they were like, size back with the new song, you know, I got it for my daddy or whatever, and then Gentleman.
01:32:42.000And I was like, they needed to do Napo Bajji.
01:32:46.000We're gonna go to Super Chats almost immediately, but Joel, I gotta ask you about your big promotion here, because you've just changed kind of roles.
01:32:52.000You're going from Matt Gaetz's office to Lauren Boebert's office.
01:33:13.000I've known Congresswoman Boehrig now for about two years now.
01:33:18.000I mean, I see her all over the place when I'm traveling with Matt or Matt Gaetz or I'm with them in the Capitol building.
01:33:27.000And, you know, I think we've been serving in Matt's office.
01:33:30.000I think we made huge strides from where he was in 2020 when I joined to Uh, 2024 and you know, I kind of felt, you know, four and a half years.
01:33:54.000Um, but I've always been inspired by Matt and Lauren and I wanted to join her fight.
01:33:59.000And we'd always been having some conversations about, What her goals were for Colorado, she's obviously switching districts from Colorado's third to the fourth So she has these big plans to make sure we end the year strong representing the third district and moving on to represent the fourth and
01:34:17.000You know, I just I'm very driven by being inspired by people's vision.
01:36:32.000So the idea is every week, You build the fences, you collect materials, and it's kinda like GTA.
01:36:39.000And then we pick a day, like Friday, maybe Sunday, at like 7pm, a disaster happens.
01:36:46.000And you never know what the disaster's gonna be.
01:36:48.000So it's like, the whole week you're collecting ammo, you're getting food, you're getting money, you're buying stuff, you're driving around, and then...
01:36:54.000Saturday, we give you like a hint, and it's like, get prepared.
01:36:57.000And then Sunday, there's a countdown, and then right at seven, it could be a flash flood, it could be an alien invasion, it could be zombies, it could be, you know, the military.
01:37:06.000You're playing, and then all of a sudden, the countdown starts, and it says half the players will be government, half the players will be revolutionary.
01:37:13.000Bang! And then just boom, everyone just switches and now it's like, survive.
01:37:16.000Every time, you told me this a few times, it makes me think of Seven Days because every
01:37:19.000seven days there's a blood moon and the zombies go psychotic.
01:37:22.000So you should check it out because it might give you more inspiration.
01:37:25.000I've had this idea for a decade plus and it came from the corrupted blood incident in World of
01:37:30.000Warcraft where a plague spread accidentally in the game and virologists, epidemiologists or
01:37:38.000whatever, tracked the data from it because it mimicked real world pandemics.
01:37:43.000And so I was like, what if we made a game that simulates a disaster every week, and then you track the data on how people respond to, say, a flash flood, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a meteor strike.
01:37:53.000Imagine you're playing, and you build this big fortress, and you're like, dude, I am so ready, and then the meteor hits right into your base and you're dead instantly.
01:37:59.000And you're like, oh man, I didn't even get to play!
01:38:54.000Ben Hickson says, Australia is putting for a misinformation bill where the news media is excluded and harm includes efficacy of preventative health measures in Australia.
01:39:05.000Search misinformation bill Australia 2024.
01:39:11.000Kalashnikov says, This sounds like early steps in the negotiation process.
01:39:14.000If the Kamala campaign really wants a debate, Trump will appear like he's not interested until they get desperate enough to accept on his terms.
01:39:30.000Kyle Lipka says Trump not wanting another debate seems like bait for an overconfident Kamala campaign to finally agree to a Fox debate with Trump-biased moderators where he can maybe hammer her on economics unhindered.
01:39:50.000And so Kamala immediately coming out and being like, I want another one, I think suggests they know she didn't get the economy stuff and that's what she really needed.
01:39:58.000And so while she may have go to Trump, Trump may have slipped up.
01:40:00.000He's like, well, she missed where it mattered.
01:41:13.000I still want to know which Libertarian he would name to his cabinet.
01:41:16.000I can understand why he's not declaring who right now, but it would be interesting which cabinet position he thinks would be best suited for a Libertarian.
01:41:42.000You're voting for a coalition at that point.
01:41:44.000I mean, you're still voting for a coalition.
01:41:46.000I actually think it's reasonable that Trump—that could actually happen.
01:41:52.000Like, in terms of things that are within the realm of possibility, that is one of them.
01:41:56.000Granted, it's probably a long shot, but I don't—like, I'll put it this way.
01:42:02.000If prominent Trump personality forces were like, Dave Smith's popular, prominent, he's friends with Brogan, he's got moderates, he's not a big Trump guy, but if you promise to bring him in and he agreed, you're gonna win several more percentage points for moderates.
01:42:45.000Common Sense Fishing says, Being a fellow business owner, Tim, I'd have thought you'd have known the company pays the same amount no matter what.
01:43:06.000I was wondering if the company's payroll taxes are going to change.
01:43:08.000Well, I was saying that a boss is going to be like, oh, that must have been you.
01:43:13.000Because what I was saying was, if I have 12 hours that need to be filled in one work day or whatever, and I can get one person to work the whole time, why hire two people?
01:43:25.000Because it costs you more to have two people, doesn't it?
01:43:28.000It depends on how you're scheduling them.
01:43:30.000If you're paying overtime, you're paying $5 more per hour.
01:43:33.000However, you could arguably pay less because it's tax-free.
01:43:37.000So instead of paying two people at $10 an hour, you tell the one guy I'll give you $9 an hour, but the overtime work you're going to get is time and a half tax-free.
01:43:44.000And so you figure out the mathematical equation to where you're actually getting one guy to work more for less.
01:44:38.000It's hard to tell because we changed his diet right at the time, but I tell you, man, you get him on some really good organic meats, you'd be shocked at how healthy that cat can become.
01:44:48.000So a cat that is on death row, you know, these cats that are in shelters that are kill shelters or whatever, they will say, if you take this cat, they will put one of his kidneys in the other cat, but you have to adopt the other cat.
01:45:47.000The real thing that we're excited for, and maybe, you know, I've been saying this, but it's, you know, I'm trying to manage too much.
01:45:54.000The second floor of the building, we want to be a private club.
01:45:57.000The problem we have right now is the way the city and the state view the building is that there's only one floor.
01:46:03.000There's three floors, but they're all considered one open structure.
01:46:08.000So if you have stairs, and it's open, and it's a public accommodation, you have to have a way for handicapped people to get up those stairs.
01:46:16.000The elevator we have is from the 1900s, one of the oldest elevators in the country.
01:47:36.000I am kind of pissed off because I keep saying like, dude, we could rent a strip mall storefront for a couple grand and have the coffee shop open in a month.
01:48:42.000And I thought Appalachian Nights sounded cool.
01:48:44.000And then once everyone started buying Roberto Jr., and they'd get a little bit of Appalachian Nights, but then once they bought it, they were like, this is the best coffee I've ever had, and then Appalachian Nights became number one, no matter what we promoted.
01:48:55.000Something similar happened with Graphene Dream, where we were like, Ian's got coffee, and people were like, oh, I'll try it, and now it's selling a lot, because people are like, actually, this is delicious.
01:52:02.000Michael Kavanaugh says, my small town Perkins, Georgia has a community well that has failed and we are trying to raise funds to get drinking water back to about a hundred people.
01:53:29.000Do you think there will come a point in the next six weeks or however much time we have before the election where she just outright is like, Joe Biden did a bad job?
01:53:36.000Or do you think she's always going to tack to a, like, trying to avoid talking about him position?
01:53:42.000I think if the numbers start to dramatically move far apart, I feel like they're, you know, I've been seeing consistently they seem neck and neck.
01:53:49.000But, you know, if she's on a clear downward spiral, maybe.
01:54:22.000I love when people are doing this now.
01:54:23.000Someone tweeted at me because I like the signs that are, they were Biden-Harris and they just cut off the name.
01:54:28.000Someone sent me one where it was like they cut but kept the E in Biden so it's like a little red symbol and then so it's like this triple equal sign and then Harris.
01:54:37.000Like the time that it took to just go around this one thing is so funny.
01:54:41.000So please send me pictures from your town only if they are formerly Biden-Harris signs.
01:55:53.000Stephanie Hall says, okay, she did great that one time, but if that's normal, why was the debate first time we've seen it, and how long did she have to prepare to be that good?
01:56:35.000They make fun of Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan when they were at the at the RNC.
01:56:40.000And then, you know, when when they have the rumor of Beyonce, they're thrilled.
01:56:44.000I mean, I think the media is overstating how freaked out, quote unquote, I've seen these headlines like MAGA is melting down because Taylor Swift endorsed Trump.
01:58:27.000They were actually very inaccessible to the press, both of them.
01:58:30.000But but people were critical of her before because they always thought there was a possibility She had dominated news cycles as The Border Czar when she went down and said, do not come.
01:59:17.000I think I'm very aware that people sucks.
01:59:20.000It's easy to go from Biden sucks to Kamala sucks because they both suck.
01:59:23.000But, like, the idea that Kamala isn't casting the tie-breaking votes on the Inflation Reduction Act, which was a huge deal, to argue that when she was named border czar, and then was doing these interviews where she was like, well, I've never been to Europe, and was constantly in the press as a source of ridicule, but you aren't paying attention, so all of a sudden when the media starts talking about her because she's a front-runner for the Democrats, you're like, why is everybody mad?
01:59:45.000Bro, people have been criticizing her for things The whole time.
02:01:16.000Like, she had so many news cycles that we criticized her over that she was in the press.
02:01:20.000Now that she's running for the president, she's dominating that news coverage, sure, but the criticism people have over her is the legitimate criticism, and it's worse than Biden for the obvious reason of Biden could not sign these bills without her casting the tie-breaking vote.
02:01:33.000She's in the Senate and in the executive branch.
02:01:35.000She was giving a layup to Biden that he would not have gotten were she not the tie-breaker.
