Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Tariffs Spark Global PANIC, Countries BEG Trump, CAVE To His Demands | Timcast IRL

00:02:04.000 The race is on.

00:02:05.000 As the global markets are in turmoil and there's chaos internationally, we already have the report from the Financial Times that countries are racing to offer U.S. concessions before the tariffs hit.

00:02:18.000 Indeed. Well, we'll see how this plays out.

00:02:21.000 No one is sure, but on tribal lines, it's pretty obvious.

00:02:24.000 Conservatives are typically saying it's good.

00:02:27.000 Democrats are typically saying it's bad.

00:02:29.000 The market is taking a hit, but we have no idea why.

00:02:33.000 Some are saying that it's a short, that people are selling off because they're trying to sabotage Trump or profit off of what they think will be his failures.

00:02:41.000 Not that it's actually a genuine reaction to trade.

00:02:44.000 But again, others are saying, yo, when you mess up trade like this, your market is going to sell off.

00:02:48.000 So we will see.

00:02:50.000 That's pretty interesting.

00:02:50.000 Now, in this story, of course, CNN being accused of making Trump orange through a filter.

00:02:56.000 Maybe it was the TV screens.

00:02:58.000 We don't know.

00:02:58.000 But we'll show this one.

00:03:00.000 This has gone pretty viral.

00:03:01.000 And then, of course, CNN Once again, lying about Donald Trump, claiming he's putting tariffs on penguins.

00:03:07.000 When in fact, he put a tariff on fisheries.

00:03:11.000 Yeah, because the population of an island was zero, but people work there.

00:03:14.000 They claimed he was putting a tax on penguins.

00:03:17.000 Because they lie.

00:03:18.000 We're gonna talk about that.

00:03:19.000 Plus, we got news.

00:03:20.000 The TikTok ban is looming.

00:03:22.000 Will there be an extension?

00:03:23.000 We will find out.

00:04:29.000 Thanks for having me back.

00:04:31.000 Did I pronounce it right?

00:04:31.000 You did.

00:04:32.000 Okay, great.

00:04:32.000 You did on the first try, too.

00:04:34.000 All right.

00:04:34.000 Who are you?

00:04:35.000 What do you do?

00:04:36.000 I am a small business advocate, primarily.

00:04:39.000 I do a ton of advocacy for small businesses.

00:04:41.000 I talk about the ways that we can support small businesses, how we can save them from private equity erosion and destruction.

00:04:48.000 And I do that in Capitol Hill and on TikTok and X, and in every place I'm able to go and spread the word.

00:04:55.000 Right on.

00:04:56.000 We had you on, was it like last week, was it?

00:04:58.000 Two weeks ago, yeah.

00:04:59.000 And we had a guest who just didn't show up.

00:05:02.000 And you rushed out the door to try and make it here in time, but you were telling us about the pending financial collapse from all these businesses that are going under now.

00:05:11.000 Hooters apparently is filing bankruptcy, and you predicted it.

00:05:13.000 Yep. So this will be really interesting.

00:05:15.000 We'll dive back into that after we get through all the other news, of course, but should be fun.

00:05:18.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:05:19.000 I'm so happy to be back.

00:05:20.000 I had a great time.

00:05:21.000 It was great.

00:05:22.000 White House correspondent, Elad Eliyahu, has joined us.

00:05:24.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:05:25.000 I am Elad Eliyahu, your White House correspondent.

00:05:28.000 Phil, how's it going?

00:05:29.000 Hello, everybody.

00:05:30.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:31.000 I'm the lead singer of the Here's the news, ladies and gentlemen!

00:05:37.000 We're starting off with the big bang from the Financial Times.

00:05:41.000 Donald Trump triggers race to offer U.S. concessions before tariffs hit.

00:05:46.000 Nations prepare offers to Washington, including weapons deals, dropping their own tariffs, and moves against China.

00:05:55.000 When does Trump get to say, I told you so?

00:05:57.000 Should he do that now, or should he wait until the deals are finalized?

00:06:01.000 Because, I gotta say, all day, it was nothing but finance people, Democrats, liberals, bashing their faces on the table, screaming that this was the apocalypse and Trump was burning everything down, and now the Financial Times, not a liberal paper, not a- it's- it's- they're- they're- the Financial Times are saying, alright, these countries are coming out and saying, we're gonna offer you some deals.

00:06:23.000 They mention the EU, Brussels has offered to drop car tariffs 10% to Washington levels of 2.5%.

00:06:31.000 Said officials briefed on talks it could also increase energy purchases.

00:06:35.000 They say few of these countries have moved to retaliate in an attempt to reduce its 20% tariff.

00:06:40.000 The EU instead is prepared to cut the $235 billion trade surplus it racked up in 2024 by buying more U.S. goods and lowering some tariffs.

00:06:51.000 Trump's swinging global tariffs It seems like Trump's move just wins.

00:07:11.000 I don't know.

00:07:12.000 I mean, the market is down.

00:07:13.000 And I think it'd be silly You know, we've got Judge Jeanine on The Five saying, I don't care about my 401K.

00:07:20.000 Something that in effect, and I'm just going to say, look, there are people who deeply care about their 401Ks.

00:07:24.000 Okay, they rely on that.

00:07:25.000 And so Trump making these moves is risky because people are going to get negatively impacted by this.

00:07:29.000 But if it's short term, and it results in a long term gain, is it worth it?

00:07:34.000 I think yes.

00:07:37.000 I definitely think yes.

00:07:39.000 I think this is really nice.

00:07:40.000 Again, because if the goal of the tariffs was to onshore, so-called onshore manufacturing again, I don't think it was going to achieve that goal.

00:07:48.000 But if this was an art of the deal style maneuver to create some leverage, to be able to cancel out some of these trade surpluses some of these countries have with us, or to try to make some concessions on trying to deal with China, this is all in our favor.

00:08:03.000 We've had bad trade deals with these countries for some time.

00:08:06.000 we've been getting the short end of the stick, and this is what it took to kind of bring everything back together.

00:08:11.000 Markets hate uncertainty, and they are definitely, it's very Trump is Trump obviously injects a lot of uncertainty into the market.

00:08:19.000 So we're going to see some turbulence moving forward.

00:08:21.000 But I think the ultimate gain here that we're seeing more than justifies that.

00:08:26.000 I think it's interesting, too, the people who are complaining the most about the market would otherwise, again, talk about hating business people and hating big business.

00:08:33.000 So I just think it's an interesting...

00:08:34.000 the group of people who are complaining about this the most usually hate big business.

00:08:39.000 I think if you're dealing with political pundits or partisans, The criticism of the tariffs is baked in.

00:08:46.000 I don't think it matters.

00:08:47.000 If you're a person that's been critical of Donald Trump for everything, you're going to be critical of Donald Trump for this, of course.

00:08:54.000 So to take partisans' opinions on it, I think you take it with a grain of salt because they're going to find a negative outlook.

00:09:02.000 As far as the stock market goes, I think I've said this a couple times, but there's been a need for a correction for a while.

00:09:12.000 We've had, you know, you had interest rates at zero from 2008 until 2017.

00:09:19.000 People were taking that money, people were taking loans out and they were dumping that money into the stock market.

00:09:24.000 They're taking loans for zero, you know, zero percent interest or really, really, really low percent interest.

00:09:28.000 And so that's artificially inflated a bubble in the stock market that does exist.

00:09:33.000 And this correction is actually healthy and necessary.

00:09:36.000 Now, before people get all worked up about that, Poor people and the people that are working class, they likely don't own a lot of stocks. 0.73

00:09:44.000 It does matter to people that are on fixed incomes, people that are going into retirement now.

00:09:48.000 I understand that's true.

00:09:49.000 But the people that are getting hurt are people that do have assets, people that have money in the stock market.

00:09:56.000 If you're talking about the working class, you're talking about poor people, they mostly do not have assets. 1.00

00:10:01.000 So this actually doesn't affect them the same way that it does affect rich people.

00:10:06.000 Maybe Trump is just like, I don't really care about those people.

00:10:09.000 I mean, look, the stock market needs a correction.

00:10:12.000 There's a bubble that's not some kind of thing that's debated.

00:10:15.000 Talk to most of the economists and most of the people that are in financials, and they're aware of that.

00:10:20.000 Go ahead, if you had something to add, please.

00:10:22.000 From a working class or populist perspective, my whole thing is small business advocacy.

00:10:26.000 There's no question some small businesses are going to be hurt by this.

00:10:28.000 There's no question that it will be difficult for them.

00:10:31.000 However, when you look at what's going on with small business America and how they're being gobbled up by private equity, they have one We're good to

00:11:04.000 go. Conveyor belt to eventual failure.

00:11:07.000 This is going to expedite that for some of them, but it's going to give small businesses that do business with other small businesses and farms and American manufacturing a leg up.

00:11:16.000 So in that regard, I actually think from a populist perspective, it's going to hurt the finance bros more than it's going to hurt the small businesses.

00:11:22.000 And I think that there's a claim to be made there that that's what our small businesses need because I don't see a future for the younger generations of America right now. 0.73

00:11:32.000 I also think that probably a lot of Gen Z are looking at this and laughing.

00:11:39.000 I remember the 2008 Great Recession.

00:11:42.000 I was broke as a joke, and I thought it was funny.

00:11:46.000 You know, because, you know, I went to apply for a job as a dishwasher at a small diner.

00:11:52.000 Because I was like, I need money.

00:11:53.000 I found it on Craigslist.

00:11:54.000 And there was a guy standing in front of me in line wearing a suit with a briefcase.

00:11:58.000 And like, there was like a counter and I was walking up to like ask him about the job.

00:12:02.000 And this guy hands a resume and I can hear him say like, I'm looking for work.

00:12:05.000 And I hear that you have a dishwasher position.

00:12:07.000 And I just laughed and I turned around and walked out.

00:12:09.000 And I was like, I mean, how old was I?

00:12:11.000 20, 22 or whatever?

00:12:12.000 22 years old.

00:12:13.000 So there's no, I was explaining to everybody like, okay, here's the floor, right?

00:12:18.000 Here's me.

00:12:19.000 Here's everybody else.

00:12:20.000 Yeah, I can't go anywhere.

00:12:21.000 I can't go down more.

00:12:23.000 So right now, with all the moves that Trump is making, he's very popular among Gen Z. I kind of feel like Gen Z is just shrugging and laughing and being like, oh yeah, my retirement account, I'm so concerned about something I will never have.

00:12:35.000 That point, I was listening to the All In podcast a couple weeks ago and the guy Chamath was making that exact point.

00:12:41.000 There has to be a correction in the market and the people that tend to vote for Trump being The people that are populist, you know, geared toward populism, like, they're not the finance bros generally.

00:12:54.000 They're not the wealthy people.

00:12:55.000 They're the people that don't have assets.

00:12:57.000 And this actually does give them a chance to get into the market and get some deals on things if they want.

00:13:03.000 Look, I'm not saying that everyone should be in the market.

00:13:05.000 That's not the argument that I'm making.

00:13:06.000 But the point is, this doesn't hurt the average person that doesn't own assets.

00:13:11.000 And most of Gen Z and probably a significant portion of millennials don't own assets.

00:13:17.000 I think if you want some insight to the thinking of the Trump administration here, yesterday Treasury Secretary Scott Besson brushed off stock market losses following the tariff announcement saying that's a MAG 7 problem, not a MAGA problem.

00:13:33.000 When he says MAG 7, he's referring to the magnificent seven stocks in the stock market that are very overvalued.

00:13:39.000 So he's saying that it's a problem for them, not for MAGA.

00:13:43.000 So I don't think they mind seeing some crash in some of these.

00:13:47.000 Apple, Amazon, Tesla stocks if it means they are going to have leverage to negotiate with other countries and I think we should be thanking Donald Trump for an opportunity to buy in if you know stats show that most people don't have any money invested within the next month or so maybe you should be looking to invest some thanks to Trump he's giving you a good entry point yeah and there's never been more opportunity or there's never been more Simple ways for the average person to actually get into the stock market,

00:14:14.000 whether there's all kinds of apps you can get to get pieces of of stock.

00:14:18.000 So go ahead, please.

00:14:18.000 It's foolish for us to suggest, though, that the working class and the younger generation are not going to suffer under this while it's being worked through.

00:14:25.000 It's absolutely like insane for us to think that that's not a reality that they're going to have to suffer.

00:14:30.000 And I want to be really honest, like for the for the generation that's like 30 and under, they've suffered a lot.

00:14:35.000 Mm-hmm.

00:14:46.000 Endless debt for jobs that are never going to come, that are never going to pay back their school loans, right?

00:14:51.000 There's a lot that's working against them.

00:14:53.000 We have to understand that, and we also need to find ways to give them mechanisms back for prosperity, because they don't have them right now.

00:14:59.000 If that's the case, and they are leveraged the way you say, isn't the best thing to do to get interest rates down, get inflation under control and lower interest rates?

00:15:06.000 Because if they're leveraged, they've got a lot of debt.

00:15:10.000 That interest rate is killing them.

00:15:12.000 I mean getting the interest rates down might make their $1,600 a month student loan payment $1,400 a month but it's not going to change the fact they're never going to get a job that's actually going to pay back the education that what it costs them that we told them would pay them back over time.

00:15:25.000 Like I'm lucky I came in two years early.

00:15:28.000 On that side of the coin.

00:15:30.000 I got a house just in time.

00:15:32.000 My husband got a federal job that paid off his law school loans right after 10 years.

00:15:37.000 What interest rate did you get that house at?

00:15:38.000 I feel like that's the big issue.

00:15:39.000 You really want to know?

00:15:41.000 I didn't get it great.

00:15:42.000 I got in at $4, and then I refinanced at $2.25.

00:15:46.000 Oh, that's incredibly good.

00:15:47.000 Yeah, that's the thing that I think that's holding back younger people nowadays.

00:15:51.000 I think the best rate you could get is something like seven percent.

00:15:54.000 I mean, the price of a house is insane.

00:15:56.000 You can never move.

00:15:58.000 They don't have the money to put down payment on.

00:16:02.000 It's not just the interest rates.

00:16:04.000 They don't have 50, 60, 70 grand to put a down payment on a $200 house.

00:16:08.000 There's a viral video from Boy Meets World.

00:16:11.000 Where the main character is the $80,000 house and how it's like we're gonna have to work for six months to get that down payment or something like that.

00:16:19.000 Let's jump to this next story from the Seattle Times.

00:16:21.000 Check it out.

00:16:22.000 Trump tariffs wipe out $2.5 trillion from US stock market.

00:16:28.000 And I gotta say, ladies and gentlemen, this year to date, I'm down 20%.

00:16:32.000 I'm down 20%.

00:16:33.000 And you know what?

00:16:34.000 I don't care.

00:16:35.000 And you know why Trump don't care?

00:16:36.000 And why I don't care about any of these stocks?

00:16:39.000 Like, I don't want to see the companies harmed.

00:16:41.000 I get it.

00:16:41.000 But I ain't crying about it.

00:16:42.000 Let me let me give you some stats.

00:16:44.000 So I asked my good friend Chet GPT, how many people in this country have a 401k?

00:16:50.000 34% of Americans have a 401k.

00:16:53.000 So when Trump makes these moves, 34% of people are impacted.

00:16:58.000 Okay, I don't want to see anybody lose money.

00:17:00.000 You know, bad policy is bad policy.

00:17:02.000 But this ain't the majority.

00:17:04.000 This is only a third of the country.

00:17:05.000 So the majority of the country who don't have these accounts are not feeling this pain.

00:17:09.000 It gets better.

00:17:10.000 I went on to ask our good friend, ChachiBT, what percent have a stock portfolio?

00:17:15.000 It tries giving me these fake answers.

00:17:17.000 So the first time I asked it, what percent of Americans have 401ks?

00:17:22.000 It says, 70% of private sector employees have access to 401k style plans.

00:17:27.000 I said, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:17:28.000 That is not what I asked you.

00:17:29.000 I said, oh, you're right.

00:17:31.000 It's 34%.

00:17:33.000 When I said, what percent of a stock portfolio, it says, actually through a variety of different vehicles.

00:17:37.000 No, no, no, no.

00:17:37.000 I said, that's not what I asked you.

00:17:39.000 It said, okay, 58% of Americans have a stock portfolio.

00:17:43.000 Here's where it gets better.

00:17:44.000 Despite broad participation, The top 10% of income earners own 87% of corporate equities and mutual funds.

00:17:52.000 So when you see Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Tesla, Broadcom, Walmart, JPMorgan dropping, and the media is going, oh, woe is me, Democrats, quick, we're in pain, Donald Trump's tariff plans.

00:18:04.000 What they're really saying is, quick, wealthy people, we're upset.

00:18:08.000 So I'm wondering if Donald Trump When he makes these moves, and they say in the media, oh, the stocks are tanking and people's retirements and all that stuff, I wonder if Donald Trump is actually just thinking, I gotta be honest, I don't care about these people, they're rich.

00:18:22.000 The person who has the top 10% of this country, are they really going to be hurt by this right now?

00:18:29.000 They probably didn't even know what the cost of eggs was, to be completely honest.

00:18:34.000 Now, I gotta tell you guys, I don't know, and I haven't known for a long time, how much a dozen eggs costs.

00:18:41.000 Because I have my own chickens.

00:18:43.000 And you too can have your own chickens and never worry about those costs again.

00:18:46.000 But the reality is for the top 10% of this country, they don't know what milk costs.

00:18:50.000 They don't know what bread costs.

00:18:52.000 They don't care about this stuff.

00:18:53.000 It's the working class Americans who are going to benefit from this first and foremost. 0.99

00:18:58.000 And they're not going to cry about someone's portfolio dropping.

00:19:01.000 I think this graph also doesn't do a good job of showing how overvalued obviously the stock market is.

00:19:07.000 So like, if you pulled up Apple stock for the past five years, It's obviously very overdue for a correction.

00:19:15.000 The Magnificent Seven are holding up the stock market.

00:19:17.000 And like, also if you...

00:19:19.000 I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:19:20.000 Apple has not innovated or invented anything substantial in 25 freaking years.

00:19:26.000 Well, I gotta, I gotta pause you there.

00:19:27.000 They don't.

00:19:28.000 They've not invented anything substantial.

00:19:29.000 We can sentence cut off.

00:19:31.000 Apple is famous for taking existing things and marketing it better.

00:19:35.000 Yeah, but they haven't even done that.

00:19:37.000 He's a genius.

00:19:37.000 You know, he knows how to market.

00:19:39.000 My favorite thing was how he took Unix, slapped his brand on it, and sold it for a crap load of money when it was a free software to begin with, but hey, bravo to Apple, right?

00:19:47.000 It's those curvy edges that people really like.

00:19:49.000 Those curvy edges, and the weight.

00:19:50.000 They like it feeling heavy.

00:19:52.000 It's something about how they feel in their hands.

00:19:53.000 But he gets it, he gets it.

00:19:54.000 Now take a look at this.

00:19:55.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this may shock you.

00:19:56.000 I have for you the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

00:20:00.000 And as you can see, over the past five years...

00:20:03.000 Where's the market drop-off?

00:20:06.000 No, no, I know, I get it.

00:20:07.000 Looking over the past five years and seeing that in five years the market is up 92.59% doesn't get it what's happening today.

00:20:15.000 But my point is, look at every time the market drops.

00:20:19.000 We're here.

00:20:20.000 Is there any strong difference from any time we've seen a big market drop?

00:20:25.000 Here you go in 2022 from 33 down to 28. Okay, today we saw 44 down to 40.5.

00:20:35.000 Look, I gotta be honest.

00:20:36.000 When you zoom in on today, they go, oh no, the market's tanking.

00:20:40.000 When you look at it over the past five years, you're like, I can't really see a strong difference between today and yesterday.

00:20:46.000 This is the Dow Jones.

00:20:47.000 If you look at any of the MAG 7 stocks, the difference is even more prominent. 0.96

00:20:52.000 It's even more ridiculous.

00:20:53.000 Like Amazon, or even Tesla, or I think even Microsoft, all of these stocks. 0.82

00:20:59.000 Nvidia is the most infamous one because they have the most outrageous P.E. It is a big drop today.

00:21:06.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:21:07.000 1,679 for the day, nearly 4% is big.

00:21:11.000 Very big.

00:21:11.000 In five days, 4%.

00:21:12.000 In one month, 6%.

00:21:13.000 Six months, 3%.

00:21:15.000 Year to date, minus four.

00:21:17.000 In one year, it's actually up 3.63.

00:21:20.000 So that's obviously into the Biden administration.

00:21:22.000 But the point is, when you look at the five years, it's like there's a ton of moments where the stocks dropped.

00:21:28.000 It's ebbs and flows.

00:21:30.000 So the question now is going to be, will Trump's tariffs result in other countries changing their policies, investing in America, and making trade better for us?

00:21:38.000 And it looks like the answer is, it's already started.

00:21:40.000 It would be very smart of them.

00:21:42.000 I suspect within the next month or two, we'll see most of these tariffs drop.

00:21:47.000 Except for the big countries like China, I think there's going to be issues with down the line.

00:21:51.000 I'll tell you, the only thing I care about right now, there's two groups of people in this country that I care about.

00:21:56.000 Working-class Americans who are raising children and Gen Z. Gen Z needs to be able to establish families, otherwise we cease to exist.

00:22:05.000 The middle-class working families of various ages, from Gen Z to elder millennial, even younger Gen X, need money for their children.

00:22:14.000 I don't care about boomers. 1.00

00:22:15.000 Sorry, boomers. 1.00

00:22:16.000 I don't care about you.

00:22:17.000 I don't care about silent generation. 0.99

00:22:18.000 And I don't care about the wealthy.

00:22:20.000 I don't even care about, like, the middle-upper class.

00:22:24.000 If you have money and you have food and you can eat, we need to make sure that the people who are struggling and suffering are able to work these things through and make it.

00:22:34.000 Now the problem is, you've got people who can't afford to feed their kids, and you've got Gen Z that feels like right now there is no path forward. 0.98

00:22:43.000 So when we look at these stocks, and I'll give you this, the income of the top 10% of this country is, let's see, as of 2024, You need to make $150,000 per year to be considered a top 10% earner in the United States.

00:22:59.000 How many Gen Z-ers are anywhere near that number?

00:23:02.000 How many of...

00:23:03.000 At 22 years old, you're supposed to have a kid and be married.

00:23:07.000 That was the average for a millennia.

00:23:10.000 And in this, this period we're at, boomers hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, and Gen Z holds A disproportionate amount less. 0.73

00:23:19.000 And of debt.

00:23:20.000 They own a disproportionate amount of debt.

00:23:23.000 They will be saddled with the debt that we continue our boomers continue to you guys ask the question our tariffs going to make it better For the working class of this country It's gonna take a lot more like let's say tariffs work and like I think that we will see a lot of reciprocal relief Okay, I think and I'll say again what I said earlier Which I think it's insane that we're upset about applying a 10% tariff to Canada when Canada is putting a 269 percent tariff on the goods that we're sending there.

00:23:51.000 We can't send both I don't know if it should be blanket, but I do think we're gonna see some reciprocal relief.

00:24:02.000 But unless we see a serious market correction, and that's gonna take pain, a serious market correction, Gen Z and these younger millennials will never own a home. 1.00

00:24:12.000 Let's be real.

00:24:13.000 Because it's not just debt, it's also the cost.

00:24:16.000 When you see these Democrats screaming that the stocks are dropping, Do you know what investors are actually doing right now?

00:24:22.000 Buying stocks.

00:24:23.000 That's right.

00:24:24.000 Bargain bin!

00:24:25.000 Get in while you can, because over the past five years, you're up 100%.

00:24:30.000 Oh great, now's your chance to get back in, because you know these tariffs are going to be temporary.

00:24:34.000 Or at the very least, the ramifications we see today will be temporary.

00:24:38.000 And even if the tariffs stick, something is going to change.

00:24:41.000 Stocks go up!

00:24:44.000 Stocks go up, stocks go down.

00:24:45.000 I think the real, the big question here is if these are long-term tariffs or not.

00:24:51.000 If we see these tariffs come off and other countries decide to come to the table, then this will be a good move, in my opinion.

00:25:00.000 I think it'll just slow down the global economy and hurt both sides.

00:25:04.000 I think free trade's a good thing in most cases.

00:25:06.000 So I think that's what we have yet to see.

00:25:09.000 I suspect he'll take them all off, but if he doesn't, then we're going to start a trade war with most of our trading partners.

00:25:15.000 Why not?

00:25:16.000 Who cares?

00:25:16.000 Because if we see like a 10% tariff on cars, for example, people can't afford cars already.

00:25:22.000 Come here.

00:25:23.000 Buy American. 0.58

00:25:23.000 Even American cars will still be more expensive. 0.58

00:25:25.000 American cars have gotten really exploitative, though.

00:25:27.000 Look at what Stellantis has done.

00:25:29.000 Stellantis has literally driven up all of their prices, cut all of their quality, hurt their union members, and have literally injured their customers by refusing to do recalls on deadly issues with their vehicles.

00:25:41.000 Stellantis is a nightmare right now. 0.98

00:25:43.000 The used car market is trash. 0.99

00:25:44.000 Yes, they do. 0.95

00:25:45.000 And people can't afford cars to begin with, not to mention their insurance and gas.

00:25:49.000 And now we're going to make them more expensive.

00:25:51.000 Obviously, I could see the issues here.

00:25:53.000 And when you really start hitting consumers is the issue.

00:25:57.000 And also, allegedly there are real problems with how they formulated these numbers.

00:26:00.000 I'm not an economist, but...

00:26:02.000 There's actually not.

00:26:03.000 I actually don't think so.

00:26:04.000 The White House administration actually released a statement on how they calculated the number.

00:26:10.000 The number actually says currency manipulation, trade barriers, and I think it says tariffs.

00:26:17.000 Let me make sure.

00:26:17.000 Yeah. Tariffs charged to the U.S. including currency manipulation and trade barriers.

00:26:23.000 They basically took the trade deficit divided by the surplus or something like that.

00:26:28.000 What they're basically saying is, this is the percentage by which we are giving them a benefit.

00:26:32.000 So we're cutting that in half and charging them on their products coming into us.

00:26:37.000 The idea being, they don't buy enough from us.

00:26:40.000 So it's not necessarily a tariff.

00:26:41.000 And the funny thing is, there's this great analysis.

00:26:45.000 This guy, I think his name was Oren Kass or whatever.

00:26:47.000 I think it's his name.

00:26:48.000 I could be getting your name wrong, buddy.

00:26:49.000 Sorry. And he wrote in February, Trump's response to trade imbalance will likely be tariffs.

00:26:56.000 This doesn't mean he's saying they tariff me, I tariff you.

00:27:00.000 But economists, of course, are going to lose their minds over this.

00:27:04.000 It's crazy to me that they're going to make up any reason to say Trump is wrong when the intent is clear.

00:27:09.000 We can buy, we can give them money.

00:27:13.000 But they have barriers and blocks on us.

00:27:16.000 So when we try to sell and make money off them, it doesn't work.

00:27:19.000 That's why I support more the reciprocity tariffs than I do like just blanket tariffs.

00:27:24.000 I think reciprocal tariffs are actually intelligent for a negotiating perspective.

00:27:29.000 This tweet's really funny.

00:27:30.000 He said, Nike shifted production from China to Vietnam to sidestep tariffs, only to get hit with new, bigger ones.

00:27:36.000 That makes me so happy.

00:27:40.000 So happy.

00:27:40.000 Look at this.

00:27:41.000 China, 34% tariff, and then you've got Vietnam, 46. Nike stock is down 14.44% today.

00:27:52.000 I'm good with it.

00:27:53.000 I'm happy about it.

00:27:55.000 They make their shoes in Vietnam.

00:27:57.000 We need products made in America.

00:28:00.000 To support American jobs.

00:28:02.000 This idea that we were going to be the capital city of the Hunger Games of the world, and that a country could survive with no one being able to do any work or know how to do work.

00:28:11.000 What you end up getting...

00:28:13.000 You want to know what you end up getting when you have a population that doesn't do any work?

00:28:16.000 You get woke.

00:28:17.000 You get communists.

00:28:18.000 You get DEI.

00:28:19.000 No. Work is a good thing.

00:28:21.000 People need passions, they need drive, and they have to build things.

00:28:24.000 So when they took it all away and gave it away, like, now we're gonna get free cheap stuff.

00:28:27.000 Nope. So I just absolutely love, love how this played out.

00:28:32.000 There are a ton of reasons that the working class are being hit from all sides, especially in the younger generations, okay?

00:28:37.000 It is foolish of us to suggest these tariffs are not going to lead to layoffs in the working class.

00:28:42.000 They are going to lead to pain for the working class. 1.00

00:28:44.000 However, there are other issues that are at play.

00:28:48.000 Historically, for every $1 that a product went up based on inflation, 93 cents of that dollar increase went back into the economy, either through reinvestment in higher wages, or through new factories, or through price relief when there was severe inflation.

00:29:01.000 Right now?

00:29:04.000 Six cents of every dollar increase in the average product in America is going back into the economy and all of its being funneled to the hands of a very few individuals.

00:29:12.000 There has been a massive shift and last time I was on here we talked about Dodge versus Ford.

00:29:17.000 It's a court case, very famous court case that kind of started this spiral in my opinion in a lot of ways.

00:29:22.000 Ford was trying to be a good employer.

00:29:24.000 I'm not gonna say anything about how good of a company they were based on some of the things they did.

00:29:27.000 They were trying to be a good employer and a good neighbor.

00:29:30.000 They wanted to increase wages for their workers.

00:29:33.000 They wanted to reinvest in new factories.

00:29:34.000 They wanted to lower prices on their cars.

00:29:36.000 Dodge sued them and they said, by law, you have to serve your shareholders instead of your employees, so you're not allowed to raise their wages.

00:29:44.000 And Dodge We're good to go!

00:30:16.000 the behavior that would reinvigorate the economy.

00:30:18.000 That's a mistake we've made.

00:30:19.000 And if we don't put those guardrails back on, if we don't fix that, we can't fix the way that things need to go.

00:30:23.000 I want to jump to this story.

00:30:25.000 We got a tweet from Mario Knopfel.

00:30:26.000 CNN has orange filter on Trump.

00:30:30.000 Journalism or just manipulation?

00:30:31.000 A social media storm erupted after viewers alleged CNN applied an orange tint to Trump's face during his Liberation Day speech.

00:30:38.000 Critics say it mirrors past accusations that Joe Rogan's skin tone was altered on air to discredit his views on health during COVID.

00:30:45.000 While CNN hasn't commented, skeptical viewers see it as a reality editing other than objective news coverage.

00:30:49.000 Another blow to public trust.

00:30:51.000 Let's try this video.

00:30:53.000 Now, the first thing I want to say is some are arguing that this is simply the TV having its settings changed.

00:31:01.000 I disagree and I'll explain why.

00:31:03.000 But here's the video.

00:31:03.000 There's actually no audio, so I play it for you.

00:31:06.000 You can see here on CNN, Trump looks pretty orange when you go to Fox.

00:31:10.000 He does not look orange at all.

00:31:14.000 Interesting. The speculation, of course, is that CNN made Trump look orange.

00:31:22.000 Take a look at the reds on the left, on the Fox News lower graphic chyron, and the reds on the right, on CNN.

00:31:30.000 I don't see that big of a difference.

00:31:32.000 No. They look pretty comparable.

00:31:34.000 The flag reds are the ones I'm interested in, and they look pretty comparable, too.

00:31:37.000 I would actually argue that the flag behind Trump on the left side Looks a little more red, but we can't see it.

00:31:44.000 More vibrant, but here's the issue.

00:31:46.000 If a filter were to be applied, the reason why I believe it is true they applied a filter, I'll say it one more time.

00:31:53.000 The Chiron for breaking news looks like the same red as the Fox News red.

00:31:58.000 They don't look brighter.

00:31:59.000 I mean, it's a bright orange up here, or it's like a reddish, you know, brighter here, it's brighter here.

00:32:05.000 This is the White House camera feed.

00:32:07.000 CNN wouldn't apply saturation I'm gonna go ahead and say,

00:32:36.000 My belief upon observing of the video is that this is not the TV being manipulated.

00:32:43.000 This is CNN manipulating Trump.

00:32:45.000 And I'll also add Joe Rogan.

00:32:48.000 When CNN aired footage of Joe Rogan, he looked gray and sickly.

00:32:53.000 And when they talked about how he was prescribed ivermectin, they put a little horse symbol on the screen as they described what it was.

00:33:01.000 These are not honest actors.

00:33:06.000 It's my thought, or I could be misremembering, but I thought that CNN had said that they were going to try to move away from this kind of stuff.

00:33:14.000 You can't stop one producer.

00:33:16.000 But you know what this does?

00:33:17.000 The question then becomes, why?

00:33:19.000 Why do it?

00:33:20.000 Did you see Joe Rogan's interaction with a CNN journalist that came on his show?

00:33:24.000 Oh yeah.

00:33:24.000 And it was like, I mean, he was aggressively like, why are you okay with this?

00:33:28.000 Why are you okay with these deceptive practices?

00:33:30.000 I mean, he really went for it.

00:33:31.000 The question for this story is why would they make Trump look orange?

00:33:37.000 When you watch Family Guy, and Family Guy satirizes Trump, they made him look bright orange.

00:33:42.000 When you watch SNL, when you watch these parodies on the left, they always make Trump look as orange as they can. 1.00

00:33:48.000 They're trying to add grains of sand to the heap that Trump is a clown, he's an unserious person, he's laughable and crazy. 0.98

00:33:55.000 But when you watch Trump in reality on Fox News, he does not look that orange. 0.99

00:34:00.000 This is not the first time we've seen stories.

00:34:02.000 There have been numerous photos that have been published in the press, written, where they have a photo attached to it, where Trump has been saturated to look orange.

00:34:09.000 What happens then is, a liberal says, he's disgusting, why does he do this? 0.98

00:34:14.000 Why do we have an orange clown for our president? 0.98

00:34:16.000 But people who have been to Trump's rallies are like, what are you talking about? 0.65

00:34:20.000 So I was asked, how do you know it's not Fox News making Trump look better?

00:34:25.000 And I said, because I've met Trump in person and he's not orange. 0.73

00:34:30.000 Fair enough.

00:34:30.000 I'll be honest, the skeptic or the cynic in me feels like this kind of stuff is just dropped into the news feed intentionally to keep us from paying attention to real issues and to keep us arguing about stuff that is super irrelevant.

00:34:41.000 Maybe. I don't believe that CNN called up Fox News and said, hey, we're gonna...

00:34:46.000 Yeah, no, no, no, I get it.

00:34:49.000 But it's possible that, you know, CNN was like, we'll get clicks, we'll get a lot of attention from this.

00:34:54.000 Yeah, that I think is more likely.

00:34:56.000 I mean, honestly, yeah, I would say that might be a motivation.

00:35:01.000 Otherwise, I mean, just to discredit him, they have...

00:35:05.000 Sure, they could.

00:35:07.000 They have an army of people that get on there and, you know, say Orange Man bad every night, and they have for the past, you know, ten years or whatever.

00:35:18.000 So, I find it uncompelling or redundant, I guess.

00:35:24.000 I suppose they're trying to create a perception of Trump among the left, and they've succeeded in doing it.

00:35:30.000 You think they're just trying to feed their red meat to their base?

00:35:33.000 No, I think they're trying to make sure the bureaucratic state, the administrative state, wants to make sure that people can't be exposed to reality.

00:35:41.000 Like, how is it that Daniel Negreanu, famous poker player, came on the show and he told us a great story.

00:35:46.000 The very fine people hoax.

00:35:48.000 Trump said Nazis were very fine people. 0.99

00:35:51.000 He said, I saw the video of it.

00:35:57.000 I've seen it.

00:36:08.000 I've seen it.

00:36:09.000 And then the conservative is like, so then you know he didn't say that.

00:36:13.000 I'm like, what do you mean?

00:36:13.000 I've seen it.

00:36:14.000 He did say it.

00:36:14.000 And it creates this confusion.

00:36:16.000 For Negrano, he said, the dude slid him his phone.

00:36:19.000 He said, OK, fine, I'll watch.

00:36:19.000 And then he saw the full thing.

00:36:22.000 Yeah. This is

00:36:52.000 what the corporate press does all the time.

00:36:56.000 And if somebody read that quote and their friend went to them and said, do you see what so-and-so said?

00:37:01.000 They're like, I read it.

00:37:02.000 I read it in the Times.

00:37:03.000 I know exactly what he said.

00:37:04.000 They'll go, really?

00:37:04.000 And you're mad at him for it?

00:37:06.000 They'll be like, yes.

00:37:07.000 This is what they're doing with Trump when they edit his image or when they lie about what he says.

00:37:12.000 They're making it difficult for those of us in anti-establishment media, those who support Trump, to actually get the truth to people.

00:37:19.000 So I'll say this.

00:37:20.000 To the people who are like, I just can't convince my liberal aunt, like, no matter what.

00:37:24.000 It's because, in her mind, she already saw the video.

00:37:28.000 There's a 10-second video where Trump says, they were very fine people on both sides, and that's all she saw.

00:37:34.000 And then you have a 30-second video where he says, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis or the white nationalists, they should be condemned totally.

00:37:40.000 But every time you say, Aunt Ruth, watch the video, she goes, I've already seen it.

00:37:44.000 I've already seen it, I don't need to watch it.

00:37:46.000 Yeah, the the fact that the I mean that the very fine people hoaxes is still alive and well And it's actually kind of remarkable that it has that kind of state and Biden ran on it.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, that's amazing Biden ran on and I mean there's Kamala Harris was saying oh, hey There he said there were very fine people Barack Obama said the same thing and this was in the in the campaign just this past fall You know like they were still making those remarks.

00:38:13.000 Well, that was actually I believe Negrano mentioned that as well Yeah.

00:38:20.000 Yeah. I have to re-evaluate everything that I know about this guy now.

00:38:50.000 Because this is what I would have sworn up and down.

00:38:55.000 I believed.

00:38:56.000 Totally that that is what he said because I saw the the end of the edited video and then when I saw the actual whole video It may it'll admit it makes me reevaluate everything that I thought I believed, you know I had Robert F. Kennedy jr.

00:39:09.000 On my live tick-tock town hall show four times and one of the things people wanted me to ask you about regularly were the jabs right not not the code ones but just in general a lot of people saw a clip from a A podcast he did where they asked him about whether or not he thought there was anything such thing as a safe.

00:39:27.000 I'm just going to do this so that there's no censorship over here.

00:39:30.000 Safe vaccines.

00:39:32.000 But he started to say, I don't believe there's any such thing.

00:39:36.000 as a safe vaccine without double blind testing and the strict standard scrutinization of science that we do on all pharmaceuticals.

00:39:46.000 And that podcast cut it down to, I don't believe there's any such thing as a safe vaccine.

00:39:50.000 He was quoted on that quote more than 10,000 times over the course of his entire, and over and over again, people would get mad at me that I had him on my cast.

00:40:01.000 First of all, you need to have him on.

00:40:02.000 You can't ask the question if you don't have somebody in front of you.

00:40:05.000 I'll talk to him.

00:40:06.000 I don't care how much I disagree with him.

00:40:08.000 But that one quote, I saw the full version and I saw that, and every news outlet in America took that one half a clip without the rest of it and ran.

00:40:18.000 Factual but not truthful.

00:40:19.000 But you know what?

00:40:19.000 I love this.

00:40:20.000 I want to create some of those moments.

00:40:22.000 I hate Elad when he brings pineapple pizza.

00:40:27.000 Come on, Elad!

00:40:28.000 You know, I love you, man, but you got to bring pepperoni!

00:40:31.000 I refuse to eat pizza.

00:40:34.000 That has broccoli on it.

00:40:36.000 I just don't know.

00:40:37.000 Why would anyone do that?

00:40:38.000 Let's just make as many of those quotes as we can and give the press an opportunity to say Tim hates a lot.

00:40:43.000 Tim refuses to eat pizza.

00:40:45.000 I think ribs are awful when they're soaked in vinegar.

00:40:49.000 Don't go to North Carolina What's the have you heard this RFK jr.

00:40:55.000 Alleged blackmail stuff, I don't do you think I don't want to dive into a whole thing But just since you mentioned RFK jr.

00:41:02.000 I don't know.

00:41:03.000 Do you believe there's something funky going on there and based on something more than just conjecture because I mean, I know there's been a lot of just conjecture about I don't know.

00:41:14.000 Everything, you know, we're just talking about the fine people hoax a moment ago.

00:41:17.000 Everything on the internet is just people throwing mud at one another and seeing what sticks.

00:41:21.000 I don't know anything to that.

00:41:24.000 I'm going to say this.

00:41:26.000 I am somebody that believes that there are institutions that have lots of blackmail on almost everybody that we elect.

00:41:32.000 That's like so unprovable and it's such like an easy thing to, I mean, yeah, I don't know.

00:41:38.000 Like we can't ever prove that.

00:41:40.000 So there's no way for anybody to say, I don't know.

00:41:43.000 Is there blackmail on Tim Pool?

00:41:45.000 And how do you know so?

00:41:46.000 I mean, I think Tim wouldn't care what anybody thought about him.

00:41:48.000 What do you mean?

00:41:48.000 You're blackmailing me.

00:41:49.000 Well, that's why you said you hated me.

00:41:51.000 That's why he's on the show.

00:41:52.000 I have no choice.

00:41:53.000 Well, I'm your APAC handler.

00:41:55.000 He's going to release those photos of me eating vinegar ribs and pineapple pizza.

00:42:00.000 I think that there are handlers.

00:42:01.000 I'm actually a deep state skeptic.

00:42:05.000 I do know that Ian was down in Nashville, I think, today, filming with Candace Owens on this issue.

00:42:11.000 I haven't gotten to listen to it yet.

00:42:13.000 Tim, so this is the funny part.

00:42:14.000 So although you're fairly certain that there's nothing going on with RFK Jr., right?

00:42:19.000 I didn't say that.

00:42:20.000 Oh, you think he's being blackmailed?

00:42:22.000 No. What, you said I'm fairly certain?

00:42:25.000 No, it's just because we do hear so much of this conjecture, and I think there's just, it's interesting how so people are so certain that there is blackmail on him again.

00:42:34.000 I don't know if there is or isn't, that's why it's a moot point.

00:42:36.000 When people go online and say, ooh, I bet there's something sliced, like, okay, show me some evidence and we'll talk about it.

00:42:41.000 Yeah, well, I think that's the funny part, that there are some people who, again, think...

00:42:45.000 I mean, I gotta be honest, when I was trying to buy The Daily Wear...

00:42:49.000 That was the craziest thing that people thought you'd have enough money to buy the Daily Wire.

00:42:56.000 Yeah, my dad owns an emerald mine in South Africa.

00:43:00.000 Did you know that?

00:43:01.000 I've been an employee here for a while, and it's just such a crazy thing.

00:43:04.000 I don't know much about...

00:43:05.000 You've never been an employee here.

00:43:06.000 Not an employee, but a contractor here for some time, and it was just such a crazy thing to even fathom.

00:43:11.000 About my dad's emerald mine?

00:43:12.000 If you read any of the transcripts of testimony from the cases that were actually brought about Epstein-Weinstein, or what's starting to come out with the Diddy stuff, I believe there's a lot of people that have blackmail on a lot of people.

00:43:24.000 I'm just going to say that.

00:43:25.000 I've read a lot of the transcripts of the victims and there's repeated testimony about blackmail tapes.

00:43:32.000 No, no, no.

00:43:33.000 They're testifying that they were abused people that were part of tapes that were being made for blackmail.

00:43:38.000 There's a lot of testimony.

00:43:39.000 Are you saying that about RFK Jr. specifically, or just a lot of people?

00:43:42.000 No, no, no.

00:43:42.000 I'm saying that there is specific testimony about specific members, even of Congress, where they've talked about congressional members that were brought into the room and forced to do things, and they were part of the victims in that circumstance.

00:43:53.000 I've heard those tapes.

00:43:54.000 I've listened to that testimony.

00:43:55.000 I've read those transcripts.

00:43:57.000 I'm not going to say I haven't seen it, so I can't say that.

00:44:00.000 But there's been consistent testimony across several victims that makes you think that there might be something to it for me.

00:44:06.000 Well, I don't think it's fair to call it inflation.

00:44:08.000 I mean, a lot just facilitates my Mossad payments so that I can tow the line.

00:44:13.000 Everybody needs their handler nowadays.

00:44:14.000 Yeah. We need a Rangel Massey backup.

00:44:17.000 That's why he was the one guy who voted no.

00:44:19.000 In other news, I'm really excited that hopefully Thomas Massey is coming on my TikTok town hall in the next couple of weeks.

00:44:25.000 Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite.

00:44:27.000 Quote, we are not kidding.

00:44:28.000 CNN's Danabash roasts Trump for slapping tariffs on an Arctic island inhabited solely by penguins.

00:44:35.000 Let me play this video for you.

00:44:37.000 There you go.

00:44:37.000 Mediaite's always crashing.

00:44:38.000 Listen to No one is safe from President Trump's new tariffs.

00:44:43.000 Not even penguins.

00:44:44.000 A remote island near Antarctica that is home to mainly penguins, no humans, is now subject to a 10% American tariff.

00:44:53.000 This is not a joke.

00:44:55.000 We are not kidding.

00:44:57.000 These penguins, who do not trade goods or services with the United States, as far as we know, are on the receiving end of a new tax.

00:45:06.000 My panel is back.

00:45:08.000 Let's just get some of the headlines up about that.

00:45:10.000 That's a non-tariff trade barrier.

00:45:13.000 Okay, well that's true.

00:45:14.000 And they need to fix it.

00:45:15.000 I mean it's not gonna--We are currency manipulators par excellence.

00:45:18.000 I'm going to say it right now.

00:45:20.000 You are cognitively deficient if you believe anything they're saying.

00:45:24.000 At least Newsweek is willing to break it down for us.

00:45:28.000 The islands were included because they're Australian territory, said a White House official.

00:45:32.000 And they also mention the tariffs are part of a new plan, blah blah blah.

00:45:36.000 Well, here's the headline.

00:45:37.000 Donald Trump puts tariffs on islands inhabited only by penguins.

00:45:41.000 I don't like the headline.

00:45:42.000 However, when they go in to the story, they actually point out, guess what?

00:45:47.000 There are fisheries.

00:45:49.000 World Bank data shows that in 2022, the U.S. imported $1.4 million worth of goods from Heard Island and McDonald Islands, mostly classified as machinery and electrical products.

00:46:00.000 Despite the fact the island has no buildings or people, however, it does have a fishery.

00:46:04.000 It is unclear what the imported products were.

00:46:06.000 In the previous five years, imports ranged from $15,000 to $325,000.

00:46:11.000 So, let's start with the, perhaps the people at CNN are just developmentally disabled, and they're like, there's no people there, they're tariffing penguins. 0.98

00:46:22.000 Or perhaps they're intentionally lying to you, so you think Trump is a buffoon.

00:46:26.000 But in reality, the Trump administration said, we don't care where you're selling the products from, these are islands and territories that have transferred products and machines to the United States, you get a tariff too.

00:46:37.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:46:39.000 I don't know what the situation is about the terrorist of the penguins of the Penguin Island.

00:46:47.000 I only heard the headlines or whatever.

00:46:53.000 But if it's about fisheries, then I don't see why...

00:46:57.000 CNN's lying?

00:46:58.000 And laughing?

00:47:00.000 And they literally said, we are not joking.

00:47:03.000 Trump is terrorizing an island inhabited by penguins.

00:47:05.000 And it's like, It's for the fisheries off the coast.

00:47:08.000 It's Australian territory, and people work there.

00:47:12.000 I'm going to say what I said earlier, which is that there is plenty of substantive stuff they could be talking about to educate the American population about tariffs.

00:47:20.000 This is a hyperbolic, inflated headline that is designed to create division and distract from actual topics that are relevant to the working class of America.

00:47:28.000 They could talk about substantive tariff issues if they wanted to. 0.84

00:47:32.000 They're just seeking clicks, and that's what this is, and I think it's silly.

00:47:36.000 I mean of course it's silly but I think that I mean I feel like it's it's just more of the same you know it's more the same just slander of of the administration.

00:47:45.000 I can't I can't believe we're 10 years in and they're still doing it.

00:47:47.000 That's just remarkable to me.

00:47:48.000 The man won the popular vote, and CNN is still playing this game.

00:47:52.000 Their ratings couldn't get lower.

00:47:54.000 In fact, the people who watch CNN are probably forced to do it like Clockwork Orange.

00:47:58.000 It's not just CNN, though.

00:47:59.000 My live stream show has higher ratings than all of the CNN evening shows.

00:48:01.000 Of course!

00:48:02.000 And I'm a nobody.

00:48:03.000 But it's not just CNN.

00:48:04.000 It's the entirety of the, you know, Democrat establishment.

00:48:08.000 They all are doing all of the same things, whether it be, you know, Donald Trump is, you know, is There's this one Democrat operative that's making the exact same comments about people on the right.

00:48:21.000 She's been making them forever.

00:48:23.000 She said that something that Jeremy from the Quartering said, she said that now they're doing full-on National Socialism, which is just a rehash of their Nazis.

00:48:33.000 I mean, obviously.

00:48:34.000 It wasn't They're in disarray.

00:48:50.000 The Democrats and the left, they have no coherent message because they have no leadership and because the people have rejected what they're offering and Donald Trump has taken the working class from them.

00:49:03.000 Well, Ilad, now that you're best friends with these people, I mean, what do you have to say for yourself?

00:49:08.000 You're hanging out with them in the White House all day.

00:49:10.000 What do you mean?

00:49:10.000 Yeah, what's up with that?

00:49:11.000 Yeah, what's going on?

00:49:12.000 You put in a good word for me.

00:49:14.000 I've been applying for the new media seat every week for the last month.

00:49:18.000 You might have to drop the RFK slander.

00:49:21.000 I'm sorry, where were we?

00:49:23.000 RFK loves my show!

00:49:25.000 I was asking in all seriousness, you know, you were in the White House.

00:49:29.000 I was there today, yeah.

00:49:31.000 And so you're actually surrounded by a lot of these people.

00:49:33.000 Would you describe them as smarmy or just evil?

00:49:37.000 Smarmy. They have a monopoly.

00:49:39.000 The White House Correspondents Association, they used to have a monopoly on coverage.

00:49:43.000 And you could tell that all of them are on the same page.

00:49:46.000 Whatever the front page news is of the day is what you can expect the whole front row of people to be asking and constantly berating Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt with.

00:49:56.000 Despite her answering the question, they'll ask her the same thing four different ways and kind of just waste her time, frustrate her until somebody else can get hit in with another topic.

00:50:05.000 What's the point of the briefing?

00:50:08.000 It's so Caitlin Collins could look like a movie star on CNN, like they're fighting, so they could have one shot of Caitlin Collins and then it's like she's arguing back and forth fighting fascism against Caroline Leavitt. 0.97

00:50:20.000 That's the idea.

00:50:21.000 It's like a TV drama.

00:50:22.000 With the way CNN sets up the cameras too, and then if you watch how they signal it out, it's...

00:50:28.000 I would love that job.

00:50:30.000 Press Secretary?

00:50:31.000 I'm envious of Caroline Love but she does a great job. 0.97

00:50:34.000 There would never be a real answer from that podium while I was working that job.

00:50:39.000 The journalists would be like...

00:50:40.000 They don't deserve it.

00:50:42.000 In Pres.

00:50:42.000 Poole, there's this report that Donald Trump is saying he thinks the market will be fine despite this global selloff.

00:50:49.000 Does the administration plan to accept this drop in the market?

00:50:53.000 And then I would be like, okay.

00:50:55.000 And then I drew a picture of a cat.

00:50:57.000 There you go.

00:50:57.000 You can have it.

00:50:58.000 I signed it for you.

00:50:59.000 That's all they'd get.

00:51:01.000 And I'd also order DoorDash.

00:51:03.000 And I'd be like, you, no, no, don't ask the question.

00:51:06.000 What do you want from Chipotle?

00:51:08.000 Would you like the carnitas or the sofritas?

00:51:10.000 Because you look like a vegan.

00:51:11.000 Yeah. Well, you know, the White House is actually addressing this because there have been reports that they're planning on tossing out the official White House seating arrangement in the press briefing room.

00:51:22.000 They're already changing up who is allowed on White House grounds to be a journalist and cover it.

00:51:27.000 The White House Correspondents Association used to have Monopoly on it, and now they're actually very shook about what the future of their association looks like.

00:51:36.000 Eugene Daniels is a guy from Politico and the current president of the White House Correspondents Association, and it looks like under his watch, we're actually going to see this deteriorate and then become a completely irrelevant association.

00:51:47.000 The White House Correspondents Association has no actual power that wasn't granted to them by the White House.

00:51:57.000 The White House actually has all the power and what they says go.

00:52:00.000 The White House Correspondents Association only has power based on tradition from- Absolutely.

00:52:07.000 She could make the seating chart.

00:52:09.000 The White House Correspondents Association only has a seating chart because they allow them to.

00:52:14.000 It'd just be a party.

00:52:15.000 And what I would do is, I would want...

00:52:17.000 Are there any windows to the outside?

00:52:19.000 Yes. I want them all to look in the window while we have disco lights, music, and we'd have catering, and we'd just be...

00:52:27.000 And they're not welcome in.

00:52:30.000 I am kidding, but I want people to understand...

00:52:32.000 Do you want to hear their threat when they say you won't let them back?

00:52:34.000 My point is...

00:52:35.000 What I'm describing is how they view it.

00:52:37.000 So when I'm saying we'd lock them out and have a party, this is what the White House Correspondents Association had been doing the whole time.

00:52:45.000 Only they were allowed in and everyone else had to look through the window and watch them have their party.

00:52:48.000 There's been reporting now that if they are stripped of their seating chart, they plan to have a sit-in.

00:52:53.000 So they actually plan to take coverage away from independent journalists and different people in the room if they are disallowed.

00:53:00.000 So if they change the seating chart, they want to actually take My ability to cover the White House from me, based on- Did you apply through the Correspondents Association to get your seat?

00:53:09.000 I did not apply through the White House Correspondents Association.

00:53:09.000 Okay, so I have applied through the White House Correspondents Association.

00:53:13.000 I have tried three times.

00:53:14.000 Would you meet- I'm not gonna give you access!

00:53:16.000 I don't think you even have any requirements.

00:53:17.000 No, but they said I had to try, because I've been invited to CPAC and I've been invited- Wait, wait, wait, the White House said you had to?

00:53:23.000 So when I sent my email to the press office and I wanted to go to the RNC, the DNC, I wanted to go to all of the national conventions this year, I was directed to the White House Correspondents Association and they said that you have to apply here.

00:53:35.000 So I did.

00:53:36.000 I applied.

00:53:37.000 I sent in my metrics.

00:53:38.000 I sent in 60 articles that I've given quotes in.

00:53:41.000 I sent in examples of my op-eds that I've had published.

00:53:44.000 And if I didn't have a credential from one of their current publications, I was not allowed to be considered.

00:53:51.000 And I could not provide them a credential that I had a full-time job with one of theirs because I was freelancing for all of these places and I had my TikTok show.

00:54:00.000 And I was like, listen, I'm getting, you know, 250,000 views.

00:54:02.000 I'm interviewing all these presidential candidates.

00:54:04.000 I'd really like to be...

00:54:05.000 I'll pay my dues.

00:54:06.000 Let's go!

00:54:07.000 And they're like, absolutely not.

00:54:08.000 Get out.

00:54:08.000 They exist to protect one another and the powerful interests of their...

00:54:13.000 Why don't they just kick them out? 0.87

00:54:14.000 It's kind of that simple. 0.95

00:54:15.000 Why don't they kick them out? 0.99

00:54:17.000 Because CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, they do actually provide coverage of the White House.

00:54:23.000 It's lies!

00:54:24.000 I mean, look, we just showed they lied about Penguin Island.

00:54:27.000 Even Fox defends them.

00:54:28.000 Because they're members.

00:54:29.000 No, but because they get access.

00:54:31.000 That's why they defend them.

00:54:32.000 They protect each other because they all allow each other to get access and keep people like us out, by the way.

00:54:37.000 It's Peter Doocy, right?

00:54:39.000 Yes. In the White House?

00:54:40.000 Because he's got a Zed. 0.98

00:54:41.000 I always mix their names up.

00:54:42.000 He actually asks challenging questions of Carolyn Leavitt.

00:54:45.000 Yeah, sometimes.

00:54:46.000 Sometimes, for sure.

00:54:47.000 But I don't understand why they don't just say, uh, everybody out. 0.97

00:54:53.000 Uh, because it would be an attack on the freedom of the press, the First Amendment in our country, and Trump is a fascist and fascism is coming back. 0.79

00:55:00.000 That's what they'd say. 0.88

00:55:00.000 They already say it. 0.88

00:55:01.000 They're gonna say that no matter what.

00:55:02.000 They're saying it literally right now.

00:55:04.000 Hey, you should meet with President Trump and pitch him that.

00:55:06.000 I hear he's meeting with people and he's- Trump, let me stand at that podium and one by one say, uh, sir, your name?

00:55:12.000 Jim Smith?

00:55:13.000 Get out.

00:55:14.000 There are members of the new media that are getting substantially higher views than standard evening news broadcasts.

00:55:22.000 I want James O'Keefe to moonwalk in front of that podium while he kicks these people out and says, fake press gotta go.

00:55:32.000 I love James.

00:55:33.000 He's great.

00:55:33.000 I just want him to moonwalk while he does it.

00:55:35.000 Have you ever been to one of his parties he's DJing?

00:55:38.000 Yes. He's a great DJ.

00:55:40.000 He's actually really good.

00:55:42.000 He gave me a whole lesson a couple weeks ago at a party.

00:55:44.000 He let me like stand back there with the headphones and learn how to do things.

00:55:47.000 It was so much fun.

00:55:48.000 Nice. It was so much fun.

00:55:50.000 He's a very kind man.

00:55:51.000 All right, everybody, let's jump to this next story from the Post Millennial.

00:55:54.000 It is the Summer of Love 2.0.

00:55:56.000 It has just kicked off Antifa Attacks TPUSA tabling event featuring Brandon Tatum at UC Davis gear stolen and students assaulted.

00:56:06.000 Check this out.

00:56:07.000 Watch out.

00:56:09.000 Hey, don't shout.

00:56:12.000 Hey, Jackson, don't shout out.

00:56:14.000 Hey. Don't do it.

00:56:20.000 Don't do it.

00:56:22.000 Don't do it.

00:56:24.000 Yo, Tatum's not gonna mess around. 1.00

00:56:34.000 They just stole the gazebo?

00:56:38.000 Do whatever you want.

00:56:40.000 Do whatever you want all the time.

00:56:43.000 They're not even doing anything.

00:56:43.000 I don't get it.

00:56:49.000 They mugged him.

00:56:50.000 They stole his stuff and mugged him.

00:56:51.000 Yep, the cops are like, all right.

00:56:52.000 Oh, my God.

00:56:58.000 Are they playing that EDM?

00:57:04.000 Do they do that to try to copyright him while he's filming?

00:57:07.000 last copywriter music.

00:57:08.000 Aw. Yeah.

00:57:12.000 I was dancing.

00:57:12.000 Well, I don't know if this means Summer of Love 2.0 definitively, but I'm hearing from a lot of the on-the-ground riot reporters that it feels like it's getting hot and it's going to be big.

00:57:22.000 I mean, we were talking about this earlier.

00:57:25.000 My inclination or my intuition is that there is not going to be a catalyst Like the George like the George Floyd situation that in that will involve the normies That's not to say Antifa won't be all riled up and doing things like doing things like this But this is this is typical Antifa behavior.

00:57:47.000 This is the stuff that they normally do go in there Essentially, they just go in they harass, you know conservatives and stuff.

00:57:52.000 Will they attack?

00:57:54.000 You know, will they be attacking Tesla owners individually?

00:57:57.000 I don't know.

00:57:58.000 I don't get the sense that they will That seems more like something that...

00:58:04.000 They've done it.

00:58:05.000 I'm talking about en masse.

00:58:06.000 They're also saving 20 years for one of them.

00:58:08.000 A large protest happened in front of a Tesla facility and some guy got arrested for flashing the employee's eyes with a green laser.

00:58:15.000 And so the police tracked the guy down, arrested him with the green laser.

00:58:18.000 One of the employees, uh, three employees said that they were injured by it.

00:58:21.000 They were, their, their, their eyes were blurry and that they were having headaches or whatever.

00:58:25.000 One person left because he didn't want to be there while the protests were going on because they had flashed him in the eyes of the laser.

00:58:31.000 Well, I still don't, I still don't get the sense that you're going to see large scale Antifa attacking, you know, the way that it was during the Summer of Love.

00:58:40.000 Based on where we are right now, I don't see that.

00:58:42.000 Anything could change at any moment.

00:58:44.000 Any catalyst could happen.

00:58:45.000 But I do believe, and I'm a free speech absolutist, I'm a Walter Brandeisian style free speech absolutist, that no one ever has a right to go and interrupt somebody else's protest.

00:58:57.000 You want to protest?

00:58:57.000 You go stand on your side with your permit and you scream louder.

00:59:00.000 Nobody has a right to attack anyone that's protesting anything.

00:59:03.000 They firebombed buildings numerous occasions.

00:59:06.000 There's been around 20 or so attacks on Teslas and Tesla charging stations and there's an untold number of attacks on Tesla vehicles already.

00:59:14.000 Why would it stop?

00:59:15.000 I mean people are figuring out that they have 12 cameras facing every angle and they're gonna get caught.

00:59:19.000 Nope! There's a video, two videos in fact, where a mother and their children flick the camera off as they vandalize the car.

00:59:25.000 I mean then it's gonna take the prosecutions that just started.

00:59:28.000 Pam Bondi just announced 20 years sentence she's seeking.

00:59:30.000 So I want to just add to that.

00:59:33.000 These people seem to be doing it on purpose for attention.

00:59:38.000 They know they'll get arrested, but they also know they'll get a million views.

00:59:41.000 Totally possible.

00:59:42.000 I don't agree with anyone ever defacing property.

00:59:44.000 I don't agree with anybody impugning anybody else's ability.

00:59:48.000 My point is, if it is already worse now than it was in the past years, what is the logic behind, I don't see it happening?

00:59:56.000 I'm not saying I don't see protests.

00:59:58.000 I don't see George Floyd-level protests without a more significant catalyst than we have now.

01:00:03.000 If this was Trump's first administration, there would have been violence, in my estimation.

01:00:07.000 But with Antifa coming up like this, I also think the Trump administration is cracking down on different kind of campus protests by withholding funding or trying to strip back funding from different campuses that are allowing stuff like this to occur.

01:00:20.000 Obviously, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been doing a good job getting anti-American, anti-leftists deported out of our country, stripping away visas from people like this.

01:00:30.000 There was something I actually planned on inquiring with the administration about, and that's about mask bans at different protests for different reasons.

01:00:36.000 In New York, on a part of Long Island, Bruce Blakeman actually banned masks at different protest events.

01:00:43.000 Governor Kathy Hochul is considering this.

01:00:45.000 Donald Trump would have the ability to ban masks at protests on D.C.

01:00:49.000 We've seen people waving anti-American flag support for terrorism with their faces covered at these different events, and I think that's another aspect.

01:00:58.000 I want to be clear.

01:01:02.000 I, again, free speech absolutist.

01:01:05.000 The answer to any kind of speech that is hateful, that is unjust, that is lies, that is hurtful, is always more speech to drown it out.

01:01:15.000 I don't agree with harming people physically.

01:01:17.000 Can I ask you, you're a free speech absolutist.

01:01:20.000 Can you advocate for the murder of somebody else then?

01:01:24.000 Can someone say that?

01:01:26.000 Absolutely they can.

01:01:27.000 It's my job to scream louder.

01:01:29.000 Free speech absolutists believe you can direct someone to commit a crime.

01:01:32.000 Sure. I just wasn't sure how far you actually go with your absenteeism.

01:01:36.000 It's my job to scream louder.

01:01:36.000 It's my job to be the louder voice.

01:01:38.000 It's never to censor.

01:01:39.000 Ever. And the counter speech doctrine written by Walter Brandeis still stands today.

01:01:45.000 It's cited by the Supreme Court all the time.

01:01:47.000 The answer is never ever the silencing of hate speech, like ugly speech, untruthful speech.

01:01:53.000 It is always to be the louder voice, to scream louder, to say more, to be the truthful one, to be the kind one.

01:01:59.000 Slander. Does that include slander?

01:02:00.000 Can we slander people?

01:02:02.000 I mean, if it's a crime that's causing them financial harm, they can take you to court.

01:02:05.000 There are types of- But would my free speech to slander you- I know this sounds- I'm a public figure.

01:02:10.000 It would be almost impossible for me to sue you.

01:02:12.000 Not if he called you a pedophile.

01:02:14.000 Yeah, if I- I mean, sure.

01:02:15.000 Like, if you accuse me of a crime and it caused me harm, like, there are- So that's the limit to my free speech?

01:02:20.000 No, you could probably do it.

01:02:22.000 You wouldn't support laws banning me from doing so, I guess so.

01:02:25.000 I don't support silencing speech.

01:02:27.000 I'm a free speech absolutist.

01:02:28.000 What about obscenities?

01:02:30.000 I'm a free speech absolutist.

01:02:32.000 So, like, someone should be able to walk around a playground with pictures of adults having sex?

01:02:36.000 That's not the same as speaking, first of all.

01:02:38.000 If they were saying things like that, like, to your children, I don't know.

01:02:42.000 Signs are not free speech?

01:02:44.000 Signs are not free speech.

01:02:45.000 If you're holding a sign, I assume you have free speech to hold that sign if you have the permits necessary wherever you are.

01:02:50.000 So can someone hold up a sign that says, um, no taxes?

01:02:54.000 If there's no loitering there and they don't have a permit, no.

01:02:57.000 But if they have a permit and they're allowed to be there, yes.

01:03:00.000 You need a permit?

01:03:01.000 On public land, you need a permit to do lots of types of protests.

01:03:03.000 That's not free speech absolutism.

01:03:05.000 I'm a free speech absolutist that you should never be able to censor speech.

01:03:09.000 Even when I don't like it, even when it hurts my kids, even when it hurts things I care about, I don't agree with it.

01:03:14.000 Define speech.

01:03:15.000 I don't agree that...

01:03:17.000 There's one kind of speech I don't agree with.

01:03:19.000 Well, I actually think it is kind of ironic considering TikTok is the most censorious platform available right now.

01:03:25.000 I mean, from what I hear, they're asking us to point out anything we think is being censored so that they can- So it's elitist and censorious.

01:03:32.000 I don't think they're elitist, no.

01:03:34.000 I think that they actually advocate for the working class and provide small businesses with more opportunity than any other social media platform.

01:03:41.000 You sound like you almost are a lobbyist on behalf of TikTok.

01:03:44.000 Nope, I'm not a lobbyist on behalf of them.

01:03:46.000 I'm a small business advocate.

01:03:47.000 TikTok banned us because they said our opinions are outside of their shared reality.

01:03:52.000 I don't agree with that, and I think you should appeal it, and I think you should go talk to them and get your coverage stated.

01:03:56.000 Do you think you're allowed to talk about Taiwan or the Uyghur genocide or Hong Kong independence on TikTok?

01:04:01.000 I talk about crazy issues like that all the time on TikTok.

01:04:04.000 No, but that specifically?

01:04:05.000 Not like that.

01:04:06.000 You talk about Hong Kong independence and the Uyghur genocide in China and they don't buy you on TikTok?

01:04:11.000 I have literally spoken to Dr. Jill Stein and I talked about that when I had her on.

01:04:16.000 Wow. Okay.

01:04:17.000 Because they actually have a history of that.

01:04:18.000 I know that.

01:04:20.000 Let's dive into this for a little bit.

01:04:22.000 So you don't believe in a right to Universal assembly.

01:04:26.000 Meaning, certain grounds in the public sphere require permitting from a public source.

01:04:31.000 I mean, if it's private property, not just anybody can come walk into my, like, my, like, home or...

01:04:35.000 Public property.

01:04:36.000 Public property.

01:04:37.000 Say it again, then.

01:04:38.000 So, I said, can you hold up a sign?

01:04:39.000 You said, you would need a permit.

01:04:41.000 If you need a permit for that location, because it's a no-loitering area, I would assume you need a permit.

01:04:45.000 You have to follow the laws, but once you have complied with the laws, you should be able to say whatever you're there to say.

01:04:50.000 Do you think it would be okay for someone to describe graphic sexual depictions I don't agree with it.

01:04:57.000 But it's my job to scream louder and chase them out of there.

01:05:01.000 I don't agree with it.

01:05:02.000 I don't agree with them doing that.

01:05:04.000 But I don't agree with censoring something if it's legally allowed.

01:05:08.000 I would defend the KK's right.

01:05:11.000 The KKK is right to march. 0.83

01:05:12.000 I don't agree with it. 0.94

01:05:13.000 I think it's disgusting.

01:05:15.000 But it's my duty to defend it.

01:05:17.000 You said chase them out.

01:05:17.000 Do you mean that figuratively or literally?

01:05:19.000 I mean that with my voice.

01:05:20.000 I don't mean that I should chase them anywhere.

01:05:22.000 I mean my voice should be louder.

01:05:23.000 I should bring more people.

01:05:25.000 I should have the louder assembly.

01:05:26.000 Okay, can a person hold up a sign that says no taxes in public?

01:05:30.000 Yeah. With children all around them?

01:05:32.000 With no taxes?

01:05:34.000 Yeah, the whole sign says no taxes!

01:05:35.000 And he's in front of children everywhere.

01:05:37.000 If they're legally allowed to be wherever the children are, It's Times Square.

01:05:42.000 Can he hold up a picture of the Monopoly guy yelling no taxes?

01:05:47.000 I mean, if it's a trademark violation, then that would be a civil issue.

01:05:51.000 But I don't care if he holds up the Monopoly guy saying it.

01:05:54.000 Is that free speech?

01:05:55.000 Is that free speech?

01:05:56.000 I mean, I would think so, yeah.

01:05:58.000 What if the Monopoly guy is naked?

01:06:00.000 Again, I don't have to like it, but if he's legally allowed to be there and it is speech, yes.

01:06:04.000 So that actually is illegal.

01:06:06.000 So again, not legal.

01:06:08.000 I don't agree.

01:06:08.000 If they're not doing something illegal, I agree with it.

01:06:11.000 But my question is for you philosophically.

01:06:14.000 I mean, can we hold up the Nirvana album with the naked baby under the water? 0.85

01:06:18.000 There's a, uh, actually, yeah.

01:06:19.000 It's on a lot of t-shirts.

01:06:20.000 People walk around in it every day.

01:06:21.000 It's true.

01:06:22.000 And it violates in a lot of places.

01:06:24.000 You will get arrested for that.

01:06:25.000 New York probably wouldn't arrest you for the Nirvana album, because it's a baby that's naked.

01:06:29.000 But the issue is, people will say they're free speech absolutists, but I tend to find that they're usually not.

01:06:34.000 I am.

01:06:34.000 So, we then have to question what you mean by speech, because I certainly don't think you would agree with a man holding up a sign showing two adults having sex in front of children.

01:06:44.000 I don't agree with their decision to do it. 1.00

01:06:46.000 But I, again, Would I be the one screaming louder that they're idiots for doing it? 1.00

01:06:50.000 Absolutely, that's my duty. 1.00

01:06:51.000 You're screaming at a guy but he's holding up an image.

01:06:53.000 Okay? And then, that's still my duty to respond louder.

01:06:56.000 I wouldn't let them do it.

01:06:57.000 I'd say the police should arrest them.

01:06:58.000 I think that should be illegal.

01:06:59.000 I mean...

01:07:00.000 If the police find it to be illegal, they will. 0.97

01:07:02.000 Do you think that teachers should be allowed to tell children about gay sex, like in that book, This Book is Gay? 0.61

01:07:09.000 First of all, when you're at work, that is not the same thing.

01:07:12.000 When you are being paid to do a job, you do not have unfettered free speech when you're working on behalf of an employer.

01:07:17.000 What about putting the book in a library?

01:07:18.000 Putting a book in a library?

01:07:19.000 I don't agree with banning any book.

01:07:21.000 So if the book tells children how to use Grindr, you're okay with that?

01:07:24.000 I don't like it.

01:07:26.000 I can control my children, I can decide what they see, I can see what they bring home from the library.

01:07:30.000 But what if they just read it at the library and you don't know?

01:07:32.000 If it's in a public library?

01:07:34.000 Yep. Again, I don't agree with banning any book.

01:07:38.000 Because whatever they can ban on one side, they can ban on the other.

01:07:40.000 What about in school curriculums?

01:07:42.000 For whatever side you're on.

01:07:43.000 What about in school curriculums?

01:07:45.000 School curriculums are not the same thing.

01:07:46.000 Free speech is not the same thing as a school curriculum.

01:07:49.000 So you would say, would you say to a school, do not put those books?

01:07:55.000 Do not put those books, what, in a curriculum?

01:07:57.000 Yeah. It's, as a parent, I would advocate.

01:07:59.000 I think it's my duty to advocate for my kids.

01:08:01.000 Would you take your kids out of the school if they were teaching that?

01:08:04.000 If they were teaching what specifically?

01:08:05.000 So in, in, uh, it was in Illinois- Just so you know, I did take my kids out of a school and move them to a school I'm more closely aligned with.

01:08:10.000 In Illinois, there was a teacher who is showing, uh, 10 and 12 year olds a book called, quote, This Book is Gay.

01:08:16.000 It's the name of the book. 0.85

01:08:16.000 And in it, it just, it, it explains how to use Grindr for gay hookups. 0.85

01:08:20.000 Again- The parent's called the police on her.

01:08:22.000 And I'm gonna say this again and again and again.

01:08:25.000 Nobody has free speech in the course of their work.

01:08:28.000 And so if the school is ordering them to do that, parents should be turning out and screaming loud in their protest.

01:08:34.000 But there has never been any government in the history of the world that was on the right side of history when they censored their people. 0.62

01:08:41.000 Do you think the United States was on the right side of history in World War II? 0.50

01:08:44.000 Were we on the right side of history?

01:08:46.000 Yeah, but we made huge mistakes.

01:08:48.000 So you said there was never a country in history that was on the right side of history when they censored their people? 0.89

01:08:52.000 Censorship is never the way.

01:08:54.000 Ever. So, any country that censored their people was on the wrong side of history?

01:08:57.000 If that's what they were doing to further their agenda, yeah.

01:08:59.000 Like the United States did in World War II?

01:09:01.000 I would not agree with that part, no.

01:09:02.000 With the U.S. Office of Censorship.

01:09:03.000 And most famously, the line, loose lips sink ships.

01:09:06.000 Yes, no, I don't agree.

01:09:07.000 So, then it would not be true that any country that censored their people is on the wrong side of history?

01:09:12.000 I have never seen any country that has censored their people that was right or just in doing so, no matter what the outcome is.

01:09:19.000 I'm a utilitarian, but I don't believe that the outcome can justify the means if you're giving up a fundamental right to get there.

01:09:26.000 Because they cannot give it back.

01:09:28.000 Just because we got it back in World War II doesn't mean we would get it back the next time.

01:09:34.000 Okay? We wouldn't.

01:09:35.000 Doesn't mean you wouldn't either.

01:09:36.000 Our founding fathers created Our Bill of Rights, the First Amendment, when they created the Constitution and the amendments and everything that our country fought for.

01:09:44.000 One, the First Amendment was first because it is the bedrock upon which all of our rights are built.

01:09:50.000 That is wrong.

01:09:51.000 We cannot advocate for any other right without the First Amendment.

01:09:55.000 We lose our ability to do so.

01:09:56.000 Actually, there were 17 articles first proposed, which were whittled down to the 10 in the Bill of Rights.

01:10:02.000 Some of them were combined, and the first, I believe, was actually was the salaries The final First Amendment was decided as the First Amendment and it was stated so because without the freedom of the press, without freedom of speech, we lose the ability to advocate in defense of the rest.

01:10:20.000 Did you know that for almost the entirety of American history, blasphemy was illegal, obscenity was illegal, swearing in public was illegal?

01:10:28.000 So the Founding Fathers did not believe what you're saying.

01:10:30.000 I am telling you that I believe it.

01:10:32.000 Sure, sure.

01:10:33.000 But the argument that the Founding Fathers said the First Amendment is the most important only applied to the ideas they deemed acceptable.

01:10:39.000 They actually didn't believe in free speech as you describe it.

01:10:42.000 They thought that if a person went outside and said a swear, that they should be arrested.

01:10:47.000 And in fact, up until the 70s, people were being arrested for swearing in public.

01:10:51.000 Fortunately, they didn't write it in the First Amendment, thank heavens.

01:10:54.000 Because that's what I defend.

01:10:56.000 Well, right.

01:10:57.000 But the First Amendment only applies as you describe it in the past Maybe 20 years.

01:11:01.000 No, it hasn't been 20 years.

01:11:02.000 Like, Walter Brandeis was decades ago.

01:11:04.000 You couldn't swear on TV.

01:11:06.000 Oh, I agree with you.

01:11:07.000 You couldn't swear on TV.

01:11:08.000 Those were privately owned networks.

01:11:09.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:11:10.000 Those were public airwaves.

01:11:11.000 They governed airwaves.

01:11:12.000 That's right.

01:11:13.000 And so the government, which shall make no law respecting the establishment of speech, banned certain speech on public airwaves.

01:11:19.000 And we got there.

01:11:21.000 There were lawsuits sufficient to get us there.

01:11:23.000 So for hundreds of years, free speech did not exist in the country, and the statement of the Founding Fathers did not actually apply.

01:11:28.000 I believe it.

01:11:29.000 And I'll defend it all the way, no matter how bad it is.

01:11:34.000 My only point is that we've constantly had this argument about the Bill of Rights and the way things should be, but as we interpret almost all the Bill of Rights, first, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are the least applied amendments in terms of any and every law.

01:11:49.000 Let's just go ahead and say outright the Ninth and Tenth do not exist because there's no circumstance in which they're upheld.

01:11:55.000 The right of the states.

01:11:56.000 Just doesn't happen.

01:11:57.000 The federal government goes in and does whatever they want, whenever they want, even if they have no right to do it.

01:12:01.000 I think we're seeing a tilt back in that direction.

01:12:03.000 I think that there's possibility there for some landmark cases.

01:12:07.000 I really do.

01:12:08.000 In terms of states' rights?

01:12:09.000 In restoration of states' rights.

01:12:10.000 I really do think that we have some possibility there on some landmark cases that are working their way through.

01:12:14.000 I don't know the specific cases, but it seems as though the needle has only been pushing towards the federal government between states' rights and the federal government.

01:12:22.000 Actually, right now, One of the things you're seeing with Donald Trump in these tariffs, he talked about eliminating the income tax and going to a tariff-only system.

01:12:32.000 When you gut the federal government and you no longer need to spend money on the federal government, tariffs might actually...

01:12:39.000 When Trump talks about how we used to be very wealthy when we were only in a tariff system, at the same time, the government was itty-bitty.

01:12:46.000 So Trump may actually mean it.

01:12:48.000 When Doge goes in and shuts everything down and fires all of these people, A lot of my followers absolutely hate my position on what's happening with the layoffs.

01:13:08.000 First of all, my husband is a federal attorney.

01:13:10.000 I'm somebody that could absolutely have a husband that loses her job.

01:13:15.000 To the federal layoffs.

01:13:16.000 Nobody is mad when they look back and they see it in 1996 when Ross Perot ran and got 18.9% of the vote.

01:13:23.000 It was so terrifying to both parties when he said he was going to slash the federal government by 90% and he was going to balance the budget.

01:13:31.000 Both sides were so scared of the 19% of the vote that he got that President Clinton took office and his first day in office said fire 125,000 people.

01:13:41.000 And they did.

01:13:41.000 And within three months, 375,000 people.

01:13:45.000 And they did.

01:13:46.000 And that was the last time we had a balanced budget and a surplus.

01:13:48.000 I think we're really missing the elephant in the room here.

01:13:50.000 The reason why we're in so much debt is because of entitlements.

01:13:54.000 And no matter how much Elon Musk cuts a doge or whatever reform, we could cut the employees of the government by half.

01:14:00.000 But if we keep paying out Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and other entitlement programs at the current rate that we are, given our population curve, the math just doesn't make sense.

01:14:09.000 But it's also the third rail of politics.

01:14:10.000 Donald Trump, President Donald Trump will not touch this because he will sink in the polls as a result of this.

01:14:15.000 So I don't know where that really leads us.

01:14:18.000 But I feel like in the conversation about our debt and people struggling in the future and interest rates rising, all of this is a function of the debt that we keep adding to.

01:14:27.000 I think the end result of where we're going, I don't know what the probability is, but I think Social Security evaporates.

01:14:34.000 It's the argument that I made.

01:14:36.000 So there's the Sam Seder argument versus the Tim Pool argument.

01:14:39.000 And I'm being somewhat facetious, but that was the conversation we had.

01:14:42.000 Sam Seder's argument, and I hope I'm getting this right, because as much as I think the guy is unlearned, his point was that Social Security is an economic driver.

01:14:51.000 His point was not that elderly people need access to funds, but that when you give money to the elderly, they spend it creating economic stimulus.

01:14:59.000 And that creates jobs and creates industry. 0.56

01:15:03.000 So this large group of people Basically, take the money from them, give it to them, and they'll all spend it.

01:15:09.000 That's the idea.

01:15:10.000 My idea was people should take care of their parents.

01:15:13.000 Parents take care of the babies, the babies take care of their parents when they get older.

01:15:16.000 We shouldn't be relying on the government because the system is dysfunctional and will ultimately become, you know, maybe insolvent isn't the right word, but Social Security today can't actually help an older person live. 0.62

01:15:32.000 There's no way you're living off Social Security.

01:15:34.000 So my view is, Let's go back to a family-oriented society where the children take care of their parents when those parents get old.

01:15:41.000 And if the parents have 10 babies, guess what?

01:15:43.000 They don't got to worry about much because those 10 kids are going to be able to help take care of those two parents.

01:15:49.000 So I think, based on what Trump is doing, there's a possibility to try and follow that route.

01:15:55.000 Something to that effect where Social Security is gone.

01:16:00.000 We're robbing Peter to pay Paul, and if we had a bigger population, it could potentially be fixed, but our population curve is also part of the issue at hand, because we have less people contributing, and it ends up being a huge Ponzi scheme, because I'm paying into a program that I will see no money from.

01:16:16.000 I'd be better off holding that money and investing it myself.

01:16:19.000 I mean, it is a Ponzi scheme, but the only way that we can practically Can you Revenue coming in

01:16:49.000 and you will never tax rich people enough you tax all the rich people out of existence And you'll fund the government for six months.

01:16:55.000 You will never be able to tax enough to pay the debt.

01:16:58.000 You have to grow you have to Incentivize economic activity.

01:17:02.000 That's the only I hope that's how we get there But I fear that our payments down on our interest is gonna you know outpace what we'd spend on defense It doesn't it.

01:17:12.000 Well, I mean the God forbid I mean it look it doesn't do it It's not whether or not we hope.

01:17:19.000 It's the only option.

01:17:20.000 Other options don't exist.

01:17:22.000 We we have a and like just going with what Tim just said and like the the possibility of going back to a family oriented society or a tribal society where we take care of each other.

01:17:31.000 The problem that we have right now with that even being plausible is that we have two generations in a row that can't take care of themselves.

01:17:38.000 They could never take care of their parents.

01:17:40.000 Never. Unless we figure out how to right this ship with the vast and disparate wealth inequality we have in America with the wrong bell curve with the reduction in birth rate with the How do you think we should address so-called income inequality?

01:18:07.000 And we have taken the onus away because of the vast monopolization and consolidation of our industries.

01:18:13.000 We have taken the onus away.

01:18:15.000 The further we've removed corporations and their headquarters from the communities they serve, which is a natural byproduct of sort of the crony capitalism we're living under right now.

01:18:23.000 But the more we've removed it, the less onus we have to reinvest anything.

01:18:27.000 I believe that we've incentivized the wrong types of investment in corporations, and we have to right that.

01:18:32.000 So how do you want to address income inequality specifically?

01:18:34.000 Specifically? Because I hear this coming from the left.

01:18:37.000 I left a lot.

01:18:37.000 That's why I ask and I know what they have in mind.

01:18:39.000 I don't know if you're coming...

01:18:40.000 Everybody can say tax the rich.

01:18:41.000 It wouldn't be enough.

01:18:42.000 What I believe is we need to change the way we incentivize corporations.

01:18:44.000 We need to re-incentivize business development at the small business level.

01:18:50.000 Right now, the SBA is really the only chance that small business has to get equity and it's actually pretty hard to do.

01:18:57.000 Right now, banks won't give loans to actual small businesses.

01:19:00.000 They give all their loans to big businesses.

01:19:02.000 So it's getting harder and harder to start or create entrepreneurship, which reduces competition.

01:19:06.000 But at the same time, we've incentivized tax breaks for doing terrible things to communities.

01:19:11.000 We've incentivized tax breaks for paying low wages.

01:19:13.000 We've incentivized tax breaks for offshoring labor.

01:19:16.000 What we should be doing is incentivizing tax breaks for those that reinvest in businesses here, that reinvest in better wages, that reinvest in...

01:19:24.000 in building America.

01:19:25.000 So is that more regulation?

01:19:27.000 That's what Trump's doing.

01:19:28.000 That's more regulation or less regulation?

01:19:30.000 Look, I used to be an absolute libertarian that didn't believe in regulation.

01:19:35.000 I have had to learn a lot about the type of, like, corrupted capitalism we're living in.

01:19:40.000 I don't like it.

01:19:41.000 But I have not had a single meeting with a sit-down, die-hard, anti-regulatory libertarian that learned what I learned about- Well, they're not serious in any serious political way.

01:19:49.000 Policy, they have no influence in government.

01:19:51.000 Nobody has- Let me finish up.

01:19:54.000 I have not had a single sit-down with a serious anti-regulatory libertarian that didn't learn from me what I have learned about where our crony capitalism is that didn't, at the end of that conversation, No, no,

01:20:32.000 no. It is at all times, as a mathematical endeavor, trying to get as close to slavery as it can, the most production for the least amount of output.

01:20:55.000 That is capitalism's mechanism.

01:20:57.000 It is only through guardrails that I think the regulation that you're arguing for would actually be counterproductive in the market.

01:21:25.000 What's the regulation though?

01:21:27.000 So she was implying, you were saying, essentially, like, the low wages that people are forced to take.

01:21:32.000 I don't think people are forced to take low wages.

01:21:34.000 I didn't say people are forced to take low wages.

01:21:35.000 I said we've incentivized low wages.

01:21:36.000 Companies want to pay wages as low as they possibly can, that people are willing to accept, right?

01:21:42.000 Dodge vs. 0.99

01:21:42.000 Ford mandates it. 0.99

01:21:44.000 Well, I think that makes sense in a capitalistic system.

01:21:46.000 Why would I pay somebody more than my company is able to pay them?

01:21:49.000 And then if you force me to pay them a minimum amount...

01:21:52.000 You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.

01:21:53.000 That is...

01:21:54.000 The precedent is, a company must work towards the shareholder benefit, not their employees or company or community.

01:22:02.000 So what that turns into is, the company is incentivized, technically required, you can make the argument, I offered $100,000 a year for this job, and they took it.

01:22:17.000 The boss then says, you could have gotten them for 50.

01:22:20.000 Why'd you pay them so much?

01:22:21.000 And they'll create a report and they'll mention it.

01:22:24.000 And the shareholders can get mad and say, you are intentionally paying above market wages.

01:22:29.000 Well, the market should decide this, not the regulators.

01:22:44.000 The market is blind.

01:22:45.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:22:47.000 The market is not blind.

01:22:48.000 The market is blind.

01:22:49.000 The shareholders have the priority.

01:22:50.000 The market is people and demand is made up by the people in the market.

01:22:55.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:22:56.000 Okay, so in free market capitalism, free market capitalism requires absolute transparency and the ability of the market to respond to bad behavior.

01:23:04.000 But when we hide bad behavior when we hide that accountability and when we incentivize when we've over Consolidated because we're not enforcing our antitrust laws.

01:23:14.000 We're not enforcing our anti-monopoly laws Okay, the market is not free to act when there is not unfettered competition Which we have allowed competition to be squeezed out in most of our industries.

01:23:24.000 Look at the tech sector Okay, we just talked about Apple at the beginning of this and now Apple hasn't had an actual innovation in 20x Great product.

01:23:34.000 They're a successful company because people buy and like their products.

01:23:37.000 Apple? Microsoft?

01:23:37.000 Nobody's forcing them to buy them.

01:23:39.000 First of all, there's a lot of ways that they force people to buy them through their walled gardens and the investment they already have.

01:23:45.000 They're holding a gun to your head and telling you you have to buy these AirPods?

01:23:48.000 No! People choose to buy these Apple products.

01:23:51.000 Right, so hold on.

01:23:53.000 So one thing you are wrong about a lot is that universities actually have deals.

01:23:58.000 It's the exception, not the rule.

01:24:00.000 No, it is not the rule.

01:24:02.000 Companies like Apple will, and I'm not going to say Apple specifically, although I do believe they have instances where they've done this, will go to a business and say, how much do you spend on your electronics?

01:24:14.000 And they'll say, our budget is a million bucks a year.

01:24:17.000 They'll say, we'll get you everything you need.

01:24:19.000 Give us a list at $950.

01:24:20.000 You'll save $50,000, but your employees have to use our product.

01:24:23.000 Done deal.

01:24:24.000 Then the employees are like, I got a job.

01:24:26.000 And they go, but you have to use this product.

01:24:27.000 And they'll go, I've never used it before.

01:24:28.000 I'm like, well, then you can't work here.

01:24:30.000 And so I've had dozens of people that I know say that their university mandated Apple products.

01:24:37.000 The Apple products cost 10 times as much as PC products.

01:24:41.000 And all they've done is rebrand Unix.

01:24:46.000 They've taken free open source software, slapped their logo on it.

01:24:50.000 And they charge a premium.

01:24:50.000 People decide to purchase this overwhelmingly, though.

01:24:53.000 Okay, take it a step further.

01:24:55.000 Universities aren't the people forcing most people to buy iPhones or MacBooks or AirPods.

01:25:01.000 So it's choice.

01:25:02.000 People have the choice to buy these products, and they buy them because they like them.

01:25:05.000 I think what you're preaching now is...

01:25:06.000 Let's go a step further.

01:25:09.000 because you think the regulators know better than the people in the market.

01:25:12.000 You think regulators should be...

01:25:14.000 You think the market has the information they need to actually act right now.

01:25:16.000 You think regulators who could be elected, could be unelected.

01:25:19.000 It's just random people should decide, right?

01:25:22.000 We should have people have fixed prices. 0.99

01:25:23.000 I want to finish what I was saying about what's happening.

01:25:25.000 No, you guys aren't hearing what you're saying.

01:25:27.000 The tech companies right now, the way that they have stifled actual innovation, why we haven't seen real innovation in decades, is because they literally go to the universities and fund their think tanks.

01:25:38.000 And when anybody has a fellowship to go into their think tanks that's actually creating an innovative product, they have to sign it away with the intellectual property on entry to the think tanks.

01:25:48.000 Everything from the Wharton School to MIT to UC Davis and everywhere in between.

01:25:52.000 These people are extremely innovative.

01:25:54.000 All these companies are extremely innovative, though.

01:25:56.000 And they're explaining a situation that's not accurate to the situation on the ground.

01:25:59.000 They are acquiring any possibly disruptive technology before it could ever hit the market.

01:26:03.000 They're acquiring it.

01:26:05.000 They get ownership of the patents.

01:26:07.000 They get ownership of the intellectual property before it ever gets there.

01:26:10.000 Look at the case right now that Trump initiated in his first term against Google for their anti-competitive practices and the way that they were stifling innovation.

01:26:17.000 They won for a reason.

01:26:19.000 And now they're probably going to get busted on April 14th.

01:26:22.000 Their trust bust is coming.

01:26:23.000 I have a question for you.

01:26:24.000 Do you think the FTC should exist?

01:26:26.000 No. You don't think there should be an FTC exist?

01:26:30.000 Let us have a freer market.

01:26:31.000 That's insane.

01:26:34.000 You know what those balance bracelets are?

01:26:36.000 You ever seen one of those?

01:26:37.000 Oh, yes I have actually.

01:26:38.000 It's something that Kobe Bryant used to wear too.

01:26:40.000 It's like, it's something that, yeah.

01:26:42.000 It's a fake.

01:26:42.000 Completely fake.

01:26:42.000 It used the placebo effect to make people think they had better balance, yes.

01:26:46.000 That was the behind-the-scenes gist of it, but in fact, they defrauded people.

01:26:51.000 They would use what's called the center-of-gravity illusion to trick people into thinking it gave them better balance.

01:26:55.000 Sure. And people under the FTC, people still get...

01:26:58.000 The FTC shut them down.

01:26:59.000 A ton of fraud still committed while the FTC is open, and it gives consumers a false sense of security while under them.

01:27:04.000 The FTC shut them down.

01:27:06.000 Okay, but I'm saying...

01:27:07.000 Who should do it instead of the...

01:27:08.000 Okay, so you want to abolish the police, too?

01:27:09.000 How does the market do it?

01:27:39.000 I don't think, um...

01:27:41.000 yeah, yeah.

01:27:43.000 So fraud's okay?

01:27:44.000 Yeah. Well, fraud's in the eye of the beholder, but yeah, and it happens all the time, and the FTC doesn't stop it.

01:27:50.000 They do, just not often enough.

01:27:52.000 Sure, whatever.

01:27:53.000 So you're arguing you want more FTC?

01:27:55.000 No, I'm saying they don't do the job that they purport to do.

01:27:59.000 Ten minutes ago, you were just doggling Libertarians, and now you're the guy that's defending the Libertarian position against the two people that are saying there should be regulation.

01:28:09.000 10 minutes ago you were talking libertarian.

01:28:12.000 You don't know how I became famous on TikTok at all.

01:28:30.000 If I'm allowed to deceive people in order to make money, do you think that would be a market advantage?

01:28:35.000 People say you— People allege you do deceive people for money already, though.

01:28:38.000 I'm not selling anything.

01:28:40.000 Can I— So you said you believe it would be okay for me to deceive people so that they give me their money.

01:28:46.000 Yes, and the market should dictate that, hey— Would the use of deception give you an advantage over other companies?

01:28:54.000 Yeah, and people— Yeah.

01:28:56.000 Do you think then in a free market that operates this way that the biggest corporations would end up being those that use deception?

01:29:02.000 Well, I think the people in the marketplace, yes, but I think people in the marketplace would be able to overcome that fraud because I think people are savvy.

01:29:09.000 I have trust in people.

01:29:10.000 Yeah, I think people are savvy in the marketplace and they would sense out fraud and then people would report on fraud.

01:29:15.000 And I think that's what we're seeing.

01:29:16.000 Report to who if there's no FTC?

01:29:17.000 To each other.

01:29:18.000 Well, hold on.

01:29:19.000 We talk about it already.

01:29:20.000 And most people don't shop at certain companies, not because of the FTC, but because other people tell them not to.

01:29:24.000 Let's keep going.

01:29:24.000 So then why is it that those bounce bracelet companies Um, I don't even- Why- Can you repeat the question?

01:29:37.000 Why didn't it shut- Why didn't people not buy them? 0.99

01:29:42.000 I think if they wanted to sell the balance bracelets, and people were stupid enough to buy them, and you're a stupid customer, then you should be able to buy their stupid balance bracelet, actually. 1.00

01:29:52.000 So, yeah. 1.00

01:29:54.000 Having an advantage in the marketplace, companies that operate through deception will likely monopolize.

01:29:59.000 They will become the most powerful corporations.

01:30:02.000 I don't think they'll become the most powerful corporations through fraud, because I think consumers are savvy and they'll be able to see through the fraud.

01:30:08.000 But they couldn't even detect that a piece of rubber wasn't giving them superpowers?

01:30:11.000 No, they could, but it's only a small part of the market. 1.00

01:30:14.000 You're gonna find some morons in every marketplace to sell stupid stuff to, so... 1.00

01:30:17.000 So do you think pharmaceuticals can just A drug company can be like, sure, this pill will make your dick bigger. 1.00

01:30:22.000 I think the... 0.97

01:30:23.000 I think pharmaceuticals and healthcare is a different...

01:30:25.000 Should be regulated.

01:30:26.000 That's a slippery slope.

01:30:27.000 Should be regulated, yes.

01:30:28.000 How do you define as pharmaceutical?

01:30:30.000 Drugs that are prescribed by doctors to do certain...

01:30:34.000 Who regulates prescription?

01:30:36.000 HHS? I don't know.

01:30:37.000 I think it's the HHS.

01:30:39.000 Tell me the distinction between a supplement and a drug.

01:30:42.000 Supplements are...

01:30:45.000 All supplements are drugs, but not all drugs are supplements.

01:30:49.000 Tell me the distinction.

01:30:50.000 Supplements are supposed to be used for, like, nutrition and drugs.

01:30:53.000 Drugs is a very...

01:30:55.000 It's an over-encompassing word, but drugs could be anything that changes the chemistry of how it works in your body.

01:31:01.000 Melatonin, what does it do?

01:31:03.000 I don't know what each and every drug does, but I think melatonin is supposed to help you with changing some brain chemistry, help you go to sleep.

01:31:09.000 So it's not a nutrition thing.

01:31:12.000 It is a hormone regulation thing.

01:31:14.000 But aren't drugs doing the same thing?

01:31:20.000 Supplements are largely not regulated.

01:31:22.000 Do you think they should be regulated more?

01:31:23.000 Yeah, but in GNC you could pick up almost.

01:31:25.000 I used to pick Jack 3D up from back in GNC back in the day.

01:31:27.000 I think drugs and supplements should be regulated to a certain degree and we'll constantly review, but you're the anti-regulation person, which is why I'm asking.

01:31:33.000 Not on drugs in particular, but I think we really go in off-track.

01:31:37.000 Go on.

01:31:37.000 You mentioned that we need police because people need to be protected.

01:31:41.000 Do you understand that the only laws in the United States, the only laws that our government has decided, that all of our laws No, I didn't.

01:32:05.000 because they committed a crime in antitrust law.

01:32:08.000 You know that?

01:32:09.000 No, but can you repeat that one more time?

01:32:11.000 Yes. Just so I could hear it more clearly.

01:32:13.000 The only laws in the United States that have a criminal element, that are criminally enforceable, that Americans can bring without the aid of a DOJ or anybody else or antitrust laws, because it was deemed so dangerous to our economic model for monopoly

01:32:32.000 No. Wow.

01:32:48.000 Now I want to go a step further because I believe in a free market economy.

01:32:52.000 But we don't have one.

01:32:54.000 If we were starting at a clean slate, I could get behind everything you just said, almost.

01:32:59.000 Okay? But we're not, and we can't be.

01:33:02.000 Because our free market economy has been so blinded and corrupted by the abuse that has infiltrated the regulators that we're supposed to keep the guardrails on.

01:33:11.000 But you're suggesting your solution, as I understand, right, is more regulation?

01:33:14.000 You haven't let me finish a single solution yet.

01:33:16.000 I know, because you go in circles and don't really say anything in what you say.

01:33:19.000 I'm trying to get you to say something specific.

01:33:22.000 Let me give you one specific example that would be required for the free market to work that does not exist right now.

01:33:28.000 Can you give me an example of a regulation you want to see changed?

01:33:30.000 Yes. That's what I want.

01:33:31.000 I want to see the Federal Arbitration Act changed.

01:33:35.000 I want to see the Federal Arbitration Act changed.

01:33:37.000 In order for a free market economy to exist, we have to be able to see the bad behavior, and then the general idea is that if they're doing bad things, defrauding people, or they're hurting kids, or they're poisoning people, we bring massive lawsuits, and that fixes it, and people protest, and then the company stops because of it.

01:33:54.000 Let me know if I'm mistaken.

01:33:55.000 We could sue companies for fraud, correct?

01:33:58.000 I'm glad you said that.

01:33:59.000 The answer is, in most cases right now, no.

01:34:01.000 Is that true?

01:34:02.000 Yes. Because I always see the most ridiculous lawsuits against corporations. 0.89

01:34:05.000 That's because most of them have been suppressed in the free market economy so that we can't bring them anymore.

01:34:10.000 So like, for example, I know this will be a ridiculous example, but McDonald's, there was hot coffee once that was spilled on one of the ladies and she ended up suing McDonald's. 0.95

01:34:19.000 That was a little bit different because they'd actually overheated it and it's been spotted.

01:34:22.000 Exactly, but you're making it sound like we can't ever sue corporations.

01:34:24.000 Over and over and over.

01:34:25.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:34:27.000 Let me finish, okay?

01:34:29.000 Our laws have been so bastardized by the removal of guardrails that the Federal Arbitration Act has allowed corporations to do unconscionable things, and we are not allowed to bring a court case that would allow us to let the free market know that unconscionable things are taking place.

01:34:47.000 It is getting hidden in secret courtrooms where no one can see.

01:34:50.000 They all have Class parameters that make it so we can't bring class actions anymore, so we can't work together to afford to bring the cases, and so bad things, terrible things, deaths, horrible maimings are happening every day in America at the hands of these corporations and none of us know about it because it is hidden in secret courtrooms and we can't bring class action lawsuits.

01:35:10.000 Okay? I want to see that law changed.

01:35:12.000 And without it, we can't have a free market economy because the free market is blind.

01:35:18.000 The only people that can bring those lawsuits are the FTC.

01:35:23.000 Yeah. It's powerful stuff.

01:35:27.000 I heard a lot.

01:35:28.000 I don't know.

01:35:28.000 I still hear about lawsuits against corporations all the time.

01:35:31.000 You're not locking them up the right way, maybe.

01:35:33.000 I don't know if I'm missing something here because I see lawsuits against corporations all the time.

01:35:41.000 I want to tell you what happened.

01:35:43.000 The reason I went to TikTok, the reason I became this person, I used to be a baby music teacher, as I was the head of a union that was targeted by a private equity firm and forced into one of those secret courtrooms.

01:35:53.000 In my secret courtroom, I don't know if you know this, the Federal Arbitration Act that is forcing 1.4 million Americans a year into secret court cases that they don't choose.

01:36:03.000 says that these judges that are paid $50,000 a week by big corporations to rule in their favor, these judges don't have to follow the law.

01:36:12.000 In what court?

01:36:13.000 I'm just sorry, just so I want to understand.

01:36:14.000 They're arbitration courts that are run by two companies, JAMS and the American Arbitration Association.

01:36:20.000 And these courtrooms have been so bastardized to not allow Americans to see the bad behavior of corporations without their knowledge that they're being forced into secret courtrooms where they can't talk to the press, where they can't appeal, where they can't We're good to go.

01:36:20.000 These courtrooms have been so bastardized to not allow Americans to see the bad behavior of corporations without their knowledge that they're being forced into secret courtrooms where they can't talk to the press, where they can't appeal, where they can't actually seek an enforcement of any law.

01:36:34.000 And they're allowed to make up the law.

01:36:36.000 Wait a minute.

01:36:37.000 The judges can make up the law.

01:36:39.000 They don't have to follow the law.

01:36:40.000 And when they do, you're not allowed to go to an appellate court and demand that that judge be held accountable for breaking the law in their decisions.

01:36:47.000 In my court case, where I was a baby music teacher, a law firm was allowed, and I say this very rarely.

01:36:54.000 I don't bring it up.

01:36:56.000 I became famous on the cover of the New York Times and the New York Post because my arbitration case, a private equity firm called DLA Piper, was allowed to file motions to force me to have an abortion against my will so I could be produced faster for a deposition.

01:37:12.000 A deposition they could have waited two weeks for.

01:37:15.000 They were allowed to file motions to compel me to expedite the scheduling of an abortion against my will.

01:37:25.000 They compelled you in this court to expedite your abortion? 0.67

01:37:28.000 I've never heard of something like this.

01:37:30.000 Maybe I need to read it.

01:37:31.000 Now ask why!

01:37:32.000 Because I had a gag order!

01:37:33.000 And they forced you to?

01:37:35.000 I... yeah.

01:37:36.000 By... through...

01:37:37.000 oh wow.

01:37:38.000 You can read about me in many newspapers.

01:37:41.000 Under threat of...?

01:37:42.000 If you violate a court order, they can hold you in contempt and you can be locked up.

01:37:47.000 They tried to put me in prison last year, too.

01:37:50.000 Wow. And so there's no longer a gag order on this, obviously?

01:37:53.000 I won my defamation case against them after they sent a bunch of letters to people saying I was abusing children, and then sent six letters to the New York Times saying I was running a drug trafficking ring at my baby gym.

01:38:02.000 Wow. And still a free speech absolutist after all that.

01:38:05.000 Still a free speech absolutist.

01:38:06.000 I'm just, I think that the challenge I have, Elad, is that your position makes no sense, and to elaborate, it's not.

01:38:13.000 You think there shouldn't be regulations on some products, but some products should have regulation?

01:38:17.000 You said there should be no FTC, but some products should be regulated.

01:38:21.000 So healthcare, yeah, I think healthcare should be regulated by who?

01:38:24.000 By most other products, by the government, by government agencies.

01:38:26.000 By the FTC?

01:38:27.000 By the HHS.

01:38:28.000 FTCs, they handle the trade laws.

01:38:30.000 They're the enforcer of those laws. 0.84

01:38:32.000 So there should be an FTC then, because of drugs?

01:38:36.000 For drugs in particular, yes.

01:38:37.000 So then we'll keep the FTC?

01:38:38.000 Just for drugs, yeah.

01:38:40.000 Okay. I think Doge...

01:38:41.000 Elon Musk, we should send you after the FTC.

01:38:45.000 I think they could do some slashing.

01:38:46.000 The FTC is one of the smallest agencies in the government, and they're deeply underfunded.

01:38:50.000 How would you define drug?

01:38:53.000 Well, I think, more specifically, I think medicine people, things that we are marketing to people to help cure different ailments that they have, and usually are prescribed by doctors, for medicine specifically.

01:39:06.000 Drugs is over-inclusive.

01:39:08.000 There's a whole bunch of stuff that's not prescribed that's a drug.

01:39:12.000 Sure, and that should be governed differently.

01:39:14.000 I mean coffee's a drug, but I don't think you need to have access.

01:39:18.000 So is ibuprofen.

01:39:19.000 Sugar's a drug. 0.64

01:39:21.000 No. Yes.

01:39:23.000 Ibuprofen is a drug and it's over-the-counter.

01:39:25.000 You can walk in, grab it, walk out.

01:39:27.000 So drugs are over-inclusive, but I think once you pass a certain amount of harm for a specific drug to do that is supposed to heal you and cure your ailments, that needs to be regulated differently than What about topical creams?

01:39:44.000 You know, on the specifics I'm not too sure.

01:39:46.000 It depends on what the topical cream is.

01:39:47.000 Because some ointments are, you know, need to be prescribed and some don't.

01:39:50.000 Healing rashes and preventing infections.

01:39:52.000 I guess it depends on the ointment.

01:39:54.000 I guess we'd need to have a doctor in here to get into the specifics.

01:39:56.000 So you're not entirely sure?

01:39:58.000 Not on every example of every item.

01:39:59.000 Right, there's probably a bunch of stuff that needs to be regulated that doesn't qualify as a drug.

01:40:03.000 I think the FTC could...

01:40:04.000 could... Lay their hands off a bit and focus on drugs more. 0.95

01:40:07.000 Well, they don't do a good job at doing it in the drug market either.

01:40:10.000 So I, again, they're lulling people into a false sense of security as part of the issue here.

01:40:14.000 You would include, like, certain ointments and creams that can affect the body and potentially cause harm if used improperly, but aren't drugs.

01:40:21.000 I feel like it would have to be a drug to do that.

01:40:24.000 I'm not sure.

01:40:25.000 I'm not sure.

01:40:25.000 Drugs are specifically things that are usually used to treat, prevent, or cure diseases or ailments.

01:40:31.000 And so...

01:40:32.000 I think a drug could...

01:40:33.000 That sounds like as an antifungal, for instance.

01:40:36.000 It's something that could like interact with your body's chemistry to do a certain thing.

01:40:41.000 So coffee, for example.

01:40:43.000 Not topical, real quick.

01:40:45.000 It depends on the topical cream, so.

01:40:47.000 So that means some, yes.

01:40:48.000 I'm sure some do, yeah.

01:40:49.000 So non-prescription topical creams may need to be regulated despite the fact they're not drugs.

01:40:53.000 Some of them.

01:40:54.000 So again, drug is kind of a spectrum, if you will.

01:40:59.000 So, okay, the point is, Elad, I'm gonna say this before we go to our chats.

01:41:03.000 You're literally just saying there are some products that are not drugs that need to be regulated, and the FTC should do that, which is a contradiction to your earlier position about the FTC.

01:41:13.000 I think the FTC has too much power here, and Elon Musk would be fine by cutting half of them.

01:41:19.000 I don't think they do half of the job that they purport to do, and I think the regulations that...

01:41:24.000 Tiffany was alluding to are actually counterproductive.

01:41:28.000 That was my main focus here.

01:41:29.000 Offering more regulation is actually going to stifle the capitalism that we're trying to promote here.

01:41:33.000 I guess that was my larger point here.

01:41:35.000 I don't think we should be getting lost on the FTC and the specific examples here.

01:41:38.000 I think I was pretty clear on what I thought about that.

01:41:40.000 I'm being called to testify right now in a case.

01:41:44.000 He's talking about medicine.

01:41:45.000 I'm going to talk about another example.

01:41:46.000 Because historically, in a free market, this example would be counteracted by the free market economy and the public.

01:41:52.000 I'm being called to testify right now in a case on behalf of a little girl named Mia Hull.

01:41:57.000 She was seven years old and she went to a trampoline park called Urban Air.

01:42:01.000 Urban Air was in Ahwatukee, Arizona.

01:42:03.000 They're owned by a private equity firm called Unleashed Brands and Seidler Private Equity.

01:42:07.000 And in this case, this little girl went to this park where they have a zip line that buzzes around the room.

01:42:13.000 Okay. And it's 30 feet off the floor over concrete floors and metal tables.

01:42:17.000 That's three stories, sometimes four stories in some of their parks.

01:42:20.000 Okay. And I'm being called to testify right now in this case, because this little girl fell off this zip line and broke half the bones in her body and got permanent brain damage.

01:42:27.000 The problem is that when her mom took her to that park, she signed her in on an iPad at the front to say, Hey, we're here for a birthday party.

01:42:35.000 And they walked inside, not realizing that buried underneath that iPad language was a to bring a lawsuit, forcing them into a secret arbitration court, and at the same time, stopping them from bringing a class action with anyone else while simultaneously giving them a gag order, a confidentiality agreement, and a non-disparagement clause.

01:42:54.000 So she couldn't go to the press.

01:42:55.000 Okay? What she didn't know, this little girl or her mom, is that it was happening in dozens of these urban air parks all across the United States.

01:43:04.000 And the reason no one knew is because everyone signed in on those iPads.

01:43:07.000 You shouldn't need a lawyer to go to a birthday party.

01:43:09.000 I want to be clear.

01:43:10.000 You shouldn't be able to abuse our legal system that way. 0.57

01:43:13.000 And so all of these people were being horribly maimed or getting internally decapitated at their kid's party, swinging around ziplines from the ceiling like a ceiling fan.

01:43:22.000 Okay? And this little girl, she is permanently changed.

01:43:26.000 She's going blind.

01:43:27.000 She's got permanent brain damage. 1.00

01:43:29.000 She can't laugh.

01:43:29.000 She can't cry.

01:43:31.000 And in my court case, I was sent a huge stack of files from a whistleblower that showed their CEO received a warning that this was going to happen.

01:43:40.000 He was told, if you cut those harness checkers to save on your EBITDA for another cash infusion, these kids are gonna get hurt.

01:43:47.000 It said it in these documents.

01:43:49.000 And he said, do it anyway!

01:43:51.000 And two weeks later, Mia was the first victim.

01:43:53.000 K? And you know what?

01:43:55.000 In a free market economy, the world would have known.

01:43:58.000 People would be protesting outside Urban Heirs all across America and outside Unleashed Brand's headquarters in Bedford, Texas, while Michael Browning sat inside, worried he was going to lose his business.

01:44:08.000 But they aren't, because these kinds of legal agreements that circumvent the free market have blinded it.

01:44:16.000 And without guardrails, we can never have a free market again.

01:44:20.000 Ever. And people like Mia Hall will continue to get penalized, and they will lose their lives and their futures, and people like Michael Browning will continue to become multi-millionaires. 0.96

01:44:56.000 Andre Tugulescu says, Canadians, stop worrying about becoming the 51st state.

01:45:00.000 Worry about becoming China's 23rd province.

01:45:02.000 Asian owns, Comrade Carney. 0.92

01:45:04.000 Ni hao. 0.99

01:45:05.000 That was a witty comment.

01:45:06.000 That was good.

01:45:06.000 That was witty.

01:45:08.000 True Hello says, my parents' mortgage interest rate was like 13% in 1983.

01:45:13.000 The 4% or 2% rates were artificial.

01:45:15.000 I think it got up to the 20s, didn't it?

01:45:17.000 20% in the late 80s?

01:45:19.000 It got up to like 20, 21, I think, yeah.

01:45:21.000 Yeah, crazy.

01:45:22.000 But they also had, you know, $20,000 houses, so.

01:45:25.000 CPR says, Boomer here, I just sold all my gold and silver coins today, so I'll have cash to buy into the stock dip.

01:45:31.000 Oh, wow.

01:45:32.000 Indeed. I bought the Tesla dip when Elon was talking about buying X and then Tesla tanked down to like 113 or something.

01:45:40.000 I was like, I looked at it, And I'm thinking to myself, there's no reason for Tesla to have dropped this dramatically.

01:45:46.000 It's because of the press.

01:45:47.000 So I bought a bunch and...

01:45:49.000 I love the contrarian stock plays.

01:45:51.000 I invested a lot of money into CrowdStrike after there was some outage with their update.

01:45:57.000 They're still one of the best security software.

01:45:59.000 Full disclosure, yada yada, this isn't financial advice.

01:46:01.000 My comment section says you're never going to let me come back.

01:46:05.000 This is the second time you're back in a couple of weeks.

01:46:07.000 Why wouldn't you?

01:46:07.000 Yell at Elad?

01:46:08.000 Yeah, you can come back whenever you want!

01:46:09.000 You're going to be invited more!

01:46:10.000 Back more!

01:46:11.000 What are you talking about?

01:46:12.000 Yep. Kenneth Ard says, if daughter is watching The Next Generation for the first time and sure she watches Star Trek 6, The Undiscovered Country, tell her the frozen Klingon planet is Greenland and that's why Trump bought it, the drumhead episode for the win. 0.85

01:46:26.000 Star Trek The Next Generation is the best show ever.

01:46:29.000 And funny trivia, Patrick Stewart, his agent, when he pitched it to him, He was like a seven-year deal or something like that, like some multi-year deal.

01:46:38.000 And his agent was like, it's gonna get cancelled in a year, just sign the deal.

01:46:42.000 And then he was locked into the highest rated show at the time.

01:46:45.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:46:46.000 And it's the best!

01:46:47.000 He was great.

01:46:49.000 Yes. Alright, where are we at?

01:46:50.000 Stuart Votsberger says, Wow, YouTube isn't even saying you're live, more or less, notifying me.

01:46:56.000 Geez. Well, if you're watching, make sure you hit that little notification bell.

01:47:01.000 Not that it matters, but I guess it matters a little bit.

01:47:04.000 The number one comment I've had is asking Tim his favorite Pokemon, which I think is an inside joke I've missed.

01:47:09.000 It's Temple.

01:47:10.000 It's which one?

01:47:11.000 Temple. Temple?

01:47:13.000 Yeah, I'm a Pokemon.

01:47:14.000 You're a Pokemon.

01:47:15.000 You didn't know this?

01:47:15.000 Nobody told me.

01:47:17.000 Bro, are you kidding?

01:47:19.000 I'm a Pokemon.

01:47:20.000 I was told to get your favorite Pokemon.

01:47:22.000 I assumed it was an inside joke.

01:47:24.000 Where is it?

01:47:26.000 Hold on.

01:47:27.000 Pulling it up.

01:47:28.000 For the record, my favorite Pokemon is Blaziken.

01:47:30.000 I'm a Pokemon.

01:47:31.000 Oh, Temple!

01:47:34.000 Huh? Like a tadpole.

01:47:35.000 He's so cute!

01:47:35.000 He's wearing headphones, see?

01:47:37.000 He's so cute!

01:47:38.000 That's perfect.

01:47:40.000 He's wearing headphones, and it's literally my name.

01:47:42.000 See? There you go, guys.

01:47:43.000 What does he evolve into?

01:47:44.000 Hold on, let me show you.

01:47:45.000 I don't know, some frog thing.

01:47:46.000 Oh look, the pronunciation is Tim Pool.

01:47:49.000 Yeah. There he is.

01:47:51.000 Tim Pool.

01:47:53.000 Yeah, you should get a fee here.

01:47:55.000 Someone told me to buy like a hundred of these and then sign them and whenever someone recognizes me, hand it out.

01:47:59.000 That's such a cute idea, actually.

01:48:01.000 They're so expensive.

01:48:03.000 Stuffies are like 30 bucks.

01:48:04.000 I do have to say that I existed before they made this, which proves they based it on me.

01:48:10.000 Yep. Obviously.

01:48:12.000 I mean, look, it is literally wearing headphones and its name is Tim Pohl.

01:48:16.000 He's so cute, though.

01:48:18.000 There you go.

01:48:19.000 He needs a beanie.

01:48:20.000 A small aquatic tadpole-like Pokemon.

01:48:23.000 And, uh, does it evolve into Palpitoad and Seismitoad.

01:48:29.000 Oh, he's the one that has, like, speakers.

01:48:31.000 Yeah. Well, there you go.

01:48:34.000 Indeed, I am a Pokemon.

01:48:35.000 There's two with speakers, I guess I should say.

01:48:38.000 Is that why they were asking me?

01:48:40.000 I don't know.

01:48:41.000 It was a recurring comment on my XFeed today.

01:48:43.000 I imagine so.

01:48:45.000 Indeed. Yeah, I'm in Pokemon, and all the angry lefties can't do anything about it.

01:48:53.000 And I'm gonna just let them know, like, that was intentionally me.

01:48:57.000 You know, they are such big fans.

01:48:59.000 It was introduced in Generation 5, which was...

01:49:03.000 Do they have the year on what Generation 5 was?

01:49:06.000 Generation 5, wow.

01:49:08.000 What year was Generation 5?

01:49:09.000 Which region is it?

01:49:10.000 I have no idea.

01:49:11.000 Okay. You know your Pokemon stuff, huh?

01:49:15.000 Well, so when I was yeah, I have a much younger brother and when I moved out of the house when I was growing up That was the one thing we could do was like when games would first start playing on the internet together And so I would play that early Pokemon snap game and then we would do like Pokemon red and Pokemon pearl like my little brother Made me like Pokemon and now me and my eight-year-old son play Pokemon.

01:49:35.000 There you go And I'm really good friends with...

01:49:37.000 I should bring you in.

01:49:39.000 I'm really good friends with the guys who own Tournament City Games in Frederick.

01:49:42.000 Oh, okay.

01:49:42.000 Yeah. So I go down there all the time and hang out with them, play Pokemon.

01:49:46.000 Cool. Michael Cicirelli says...

01:49:49.000 Cicirelli? Anything on pizza is acceptable.

01:49:51.000 Be a friend.

01:49:52.000 Tell a friend something nice.

01:49:53.000 To be honest, I love pineapple pizza.

01:49:55.000 I like change on my pizza.

01:49:57.000 I like variety.

01:49:58.000 No, like...

01:49:59.000 Oh. Phil.

01:50:00.000 How... Could you?

01:50:03.000 Variety's the spice of...

01:50:04.000 Phil! Variety's the spice of life, so, you know, whether it's olives or...

01:50:09.000 never mind.

01:50:10.000 Falafel? Falafel.

01:50:12.000 I only like Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.

01:50:14.000 I'm not a pizza girl.

01:50:16.000 Tourist pizza!

01:50:17.000 Elad, I'm gonna order a pizza tomorrow.

01:50:19.000 And I'm gonna put Israeli salad on it, just for you.

01:50:21.000 I love it when people call it Israeli salad.

01:50:24.000 That's what it's called.

01:50:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:50:25.000 No, well, some people...

01:50:26.000 What do they call it?

01:50:27.000 ...

01:50:27.000 get offended.

01:50:28.000 And they...

01:50:29.000 yeah, yeah.

01:50:30.000 Israeli salad!

01:50:31.000 Some people call it Jerusalem salad.

01:50:34.000 Because a lot of Arabs started picking up the Israeli salad stuff, and they get real sensitive when people call it that, so...

01:50:39.000 I'm gonna order a pan pizza with Israeli salad on top, just for you.

01:50:43.000 I'd love that.

01:50:43.000 Sounds like it'd get too wet.

01:50:43.000 I gotta be honest, it sounds pretty good.

01:50:45.000 You know, in Israel, they love olives on the pizza.

01:50:48.000 Those Israelis. 1.00

01:50:48.000 Olives are good? 1.00

01:50:49.000 On pizza?

01:50:50.000 Yeah, of course.

01:50:51.000 I feel like it's not very common in the States.

01:50:53.000 No, you're wrong.

01:50:53.000 Supreme pizza is like, what, pepperoni sausage, green peppers, onions, and...

01:50:58.000 Pepper. Yeah, pepperonis.

01:51:00.000 Pepperonis. Yeah, olives.

01:51:02.000 You go to any supermarket, and you look at their frozen pizzas, and they're gonna have Supreme with black olives on it.

01:51:08.000 Indeed. Now I want pizza.

01:51:11.000 Yeah, we'll order some tomorrow.

01:51:12.000 That's the thing missing out here.

01:51:13.000 I don't know if I'm just going to the wrong places or I'm spoiled.

01:51:16.000 Pizza Oven in Inwood, West Virginia has the best pizza.

01:51:19.000 I'll give it a shot.

01:51:20.000 They call it deep dish, but it's pan.

01:51:24.000 And that's fine.

01:51:25.000 It's okay.

01:51:25.000 I'm not going to come down on them because it's really good.

01:51:28.000 You know, I went to Chicago.

01:51:29.000 I wanted to get a deep dish slice, but they said you have to order the full pie.

01:51:32.000 And I was like, yeah, I'm not doing this.

01:51:34.000 I'm sorry.

01:51:35.000 I'm just not going to try it.

01:51:36.000 People in Chicago don't eat that.

01:51:37.000 Well, I don't either so because I don't want to order a whole pie.

01:51:40.000 It's nice It's it is funny though when people are like, oh in Chicago, you have deep dish and it's like we don't eat that It's it's for you.

01:51:47.000 And then people think they're eating Chicago food people in Chicago.

01:51:51.000 Don't eat that We eat little square pizzas little squares.

01:51:56.000 Mmm tavern style.

01:51:57.000 That's the way to do it But do this is good, you know, sometimes like you it's like maybe a once-a-year thing you might do well It's like a family thing because you're not gonna take a whole Deep dish pizza bro.

01:52:06.000 I ate a whole pizzeria uno's deep dish like three months ago.

01:52:11.000 I Am no problem That's why I'm like, I don't know.

01:52:16.000 I'm I am a I am a vacuous pit I can you I'm not kidding if we go to who knows give me a pepperoni Large deep dish I'm eating the whole thing The only the only kind of pizza I get down with that's not like I'm not a pizza girl.

01:52:29.000 I'm just not but I love really thin crust, like really Italian style pizza.

01:52:33.000 Like I want it to like, like fold in my hand, but be crispy on the bottom.

01:52:37.000 Like I want that.

01:52:37.000 Like Portnoy.

01:52:38.000 Sure. Yeah.

01:52:39.000 Yeah. Good undercarriage.

01:52:41.000 But he likes Yeah, good undercarriage.

01:52:43.000 Right. But he likes like a very Americanized version.

01:52:45.000 And I would like it with like very Italian ingredients.

01:52:47.000 Like give me a margarita pizza.

01:52:49.000 There's a there's a place not too far away.

01:52:52.000 It's called Taste Buds.

01:52:54.000 They have exactly what you're talking about.

01:52:56.000 Yeah. It's good.

01:52:57.000 There's a place in Frederick called, what's it called?

01:53:01.000 I don't remember.

01:53:03.000 Let's grab some more chats!

01:53:06.000 All right, Russell W. says, my handmade ring biz has been suffering from cheap import rings from overseas markets drowning me out of the market.

01:53:13.000 Really hoping recent events change things.

01:53:15.000 Much love.

01:53:16.000 Carbon District Rings.

01:53:19.000 I agree.

01:53:20.000 Now, I will say, I think tariffs need to be strategic.

01:53:24.000 Because, um...

01:53:26.000 I suppose there's a couple ways to look at it.

01:53:27.000 Like, so, casprew.com.

01:53:28.000 We have coffee, right?

01:53:30.000 Well, the coffee is literally the region.

01:53:33.000 So, you can get Guatemala, you can get Colombian, you can get Costa Rican.

01:53:36.000 We have coffee in America.

01:53:38.000 It's Kona.

01:53:38.000 It's expensive, and there's not that much of it, because it's just...

01:53:41.000 it's Hawaii.

01:53:42.000 That's where you make it.

01:53:43.000 So, if they're gonna put a tariff on everything in general, they're restricting things you can't even make here.

01:53:48.000 So I suppose the argument is it's a specialty product, just pay more for it, I guess?

01:53:55.000 The tariffs make sense when it was cars, right?

01:53:58.000 That's why I've been lightly concerned, I say lightly, about universal tariffs.

01:54:03.000 When Trump was talking about steel, aluminum, autos and stuff, I'm like, we can do all that here, that's good.

01:54:08.000 Skateboards, we can do that here, that's good.

01:54:09.000 But if it's literally like Guatemalan coffee is the product that exists only from Guatemala, you know, I'm not sure that makes sense.

01:54:17.000 That being said, I'm an adult.

01:54:19.000 I voted for Trump.

01:54:20.000 I stand by his decisions and I will accept what comes with them.

01:54:24.000 And I'm not going to cry about it.

01:54:25.000 I don't agree with everything he does.

01:54:26.000 Never did.

01:54:27.000 And it is strange to me.

01:54:29.000 There was a really funny exchange between Clint Russell and Michael Tracy on X. Follow them both.

01:54:34.000 Yeah. You saw that one?

01:54:35.000 Yep. And Russell was like, you know, Trump is doing a thing I'm critical of.

01:54:39.000 And Michael Tracy was like, you're so dumb, you voted for him. 0.99

01:54:41.000 And Clint's like, well, Clint said something particularly disparaging about his birth defects. 0.99

01:54:46.000 But the general idea I get from the whole thing is, bro, you don't have to just agree with literally everything Trump does all the time.

01:54:53.000 You can be like, he was pretty good.

01:54:56.000 I'd have chosen somebody else.

01:54:57.000 But, you know, he's all right.

01:54:59.000 Particularly in this context, it is completely acceptable to vote against Kamala Harris.

01:55:05.000 Right. I think a lot of internet libertarians also projected what they wanted to see onto Trump and gave themselves a false sense of reality completely different from what Trump actually is.

01:55:15.000 So when they see him doing stuff there, they're all confused.

01:55:17.000 But this was Trump all along.

01:55:19.000 And if you paid attention during the first term, or paid attention to anything he's really said or done, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody.

01:55:26.000 My first live stream with Trump was at the Libertarian National Convention when he came and spoke, and he said there were several issues he was going to talk to me about.

01:55:34.000 He made a promise he would address like six specific things.

01:55:37.000 One of them was freeing Ross Albrecht, which he did, and Libertarians seem very excited about that, but he ignored Gabriel Shepton.

01:55:44.000 And trying to address WikiLeaks and all of the whistleblowers.

01:55:50.000 And I think he made a good pitch to them at the Libertarian National Convention that was convincing on a lot of those issues.

01:55:56.000 And he has changed his mind about some of that.

01:55:58.000 So I get some of it.

01:56:00.000 But you can't be, like, even libertarians know you can't be a libertarian absolutist.

01:56:05.000 When you're starting not from scratch and starting from a system that's already imperfect.

01:56:10.000 Yeah, shut him down.

01:56:18.000 That's a good point.

01:56:19.000 They just use those and they're like, yeah, that's where it came from.

01:56:22.000 You know what I'll say?

01:56:23.000 I listened to Ben Shapiro's show this morning.

01:56:25.000 Even Ben Shapiro was pushing this penguin narrative.

01:56:29.000 Was he really?

01:56:30.000 He was.

01:56:30.000 Yep. That's where I heard it first.

01:56:32.000 And I was confused, too, because I was like, there must be more to this.

01:56:36.000 Because there's never any unincorporated, unclaimed land on planet Earth.

01:56:39.000 Here's what you do.

01:56:40.000 Let's say you're an Australian.

01:56:41.000 There's a tariff.

01:56:42.000 If something comes from Australia to the U.S., they're going to have to pay an import tax.

01:56:46.000 So you ride your boat up to Heard Island.

01:56:50.000 Pause for a second, fill out a manifest saying, equipment from Heard Island, and then bring it to the U.S.?

01:56:54.000 No tariff.

01:56:55.000 That's why Trump is putting tariffs on these things.

01:56:58.000 These people are so disingenuous.

01:57:01.000 Even if no product came from these islands, Trump is basically saying, we are not going to allow loopholes.

01:57:07.000 That's it.

01:57:08.000 Because you know they would just go make a dock there and then ship it around.

01:57:11.000 That's right.

01:57:12.000 And they may still do that.

01:57:15.000 I mean, look, if you're going to lose $60 billion over a year because you're China, They're gonna say, okay, let's build an artificial island, put the products there, put up a flag, and then say the products came from there. 0.93

01:57:25.000 Not tariffed.

01:57:26.000 And Trump's gonna then go, nah, we'll put a tariff on that too.

01:57:29.000 That's the point.

01:57:29.000 What did he tariff China?

01:57:31.000 Because that's my favorite.

01:57:32.000 Was it 30...

01:57:34.000 I'm getting a lot of questions about tariffs on Russia.

01:57:36.000 A lot of people are saying, what are the tariffs on Russia?

01:57:38.000 Nothing! Because Russia is sanctioned!

01:57:40.000 They're sanctioned.

01:57:41.000 Trump is mulling, President Trump is mulling secondhand tariffs for those who buy oil from Russia.

01:57:48.000 Right. So you get this narrative from the press because they're liars where they're like, Trump didn't sanction Russia.

01:57:53.000 No, I'm sorry to say Trump didn't tariff Russia.

01:57:56.000 No, he sanctioned them.

01:57:57.000 So he's actually barring other people from doing business with them.

01:58:00.000 Or actually, I think they were already sanctioned.

01:58:02.000 And then he imposed, actually, yeah, I think he's only been in office a couple months.

01:58:06.000 So they are under sanctions already.

01:58:07.000 So you don't need to.

01:58:09.000 And there's a war going on.

01:58:10.000 And, as you mentioned, second-hand sanctions.

01:58:12.000 Anybody who does business with them for oil trades, he's gonna put tariffs on them.

01:58:16.000 So, yeah, he's not helping Russia.

01:58:18.000 He didn't have to put a tariff on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, so...

01:58:22.000 All right, Sterling Wilson III says, Am I wrong in thinking that more manufacturing makes more jobs, which allows more people to get taxed, allowing U.S. worker personnel income taxes to drop?

01:58:32.000 So, you can do it a couple ways.

01:58:35.000 Volume is usually the best.

01:58:37.000 If I was running a business that sold coffee, I would rather sell at a 1% margin a million bags a week, as opposed to having a massive margin but having to sell, you know, only a hundred bags.

01:58:51.000 So what happens is, for smaller businesses, they need to make more money to survive.

01:58:56.000 Let's say you're, you know, a little Israeli salad distributor, Eilat Eliyahu.

01:59:01.000 Eilat Salads.

01:59:02.000 Eilat Salads.

01:59:03.000 And he only sells maybe 15 per week.

01:59:07.000 How much does he have to sell the salads for to make a living?

01:59:10.000 Well, he's got to pay his rent, he's got to buy the materials, so he's going to need maybe, you know, 500 bucks at least a week, and that's bare minimum, which is barely going to cover rent in a big city.

01:59:19.000 So if he's working on the razor-thin margins for his own personal costs, those salads are going to be expensive.

01:59:25.000 But let's say a lot gets it up to a million salads per week.

01:59:28.000 Well, bro, I gotta be honest.

01:59:29.000 If you made only a dollar off each salad, you're making a million bucks a week.

01:59:32.000 You could actually make ten cents off of each salad instead.

01:59:36.000 Your profit margin could literally be a dime, and you're gonna be pulling in a hundred K a week.

01:59:41.000 So, the more people we tax, the more money the U.S. makes, and then the economic activity, all of it will end up in the hands of the government, 100%.

01:59:49.000 Think about it.

01:59:50.000 I have a dollar.

01:59:51.000 I give it to a lot.

01:59:52.000 A lot's gotta pay, fill the tax.

01:59:54.000 So Eilat pays Phil 35 cents.

01:59:56.000 Now he's got 65 cents.

01:59:57.000 He then gives 65 cents to me in exchange for services.

01:59:59.000 I gotta give Phil 30%.

02:00:01.000 So I give Phil 18 cents.

02:00:02.000 19 cents.

02:00:03.000 The government eventually gets it all.

02:00:06.000 So the more people, the better.

02:00:09.000 Jacob Jones says, perhaps the penguins are highly intelligent and advanced and have been very good trade partners to the US, hence why it's only a 10% tariff.

02:00:17.000 Well, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but in my interview with Trump, he did mention to me off-camera that there is an island where a highly advanced civilization of penguins have created a barrier so that no one can see through it.

02:00:29.000 Unfortunately, one of the penguins actually developed a headband which gave him psychic powers to mind control people, and now he's at odds with the Justice League.

02:00:40.000 Yeah. Yeah.

02:00:42.000 You kind of look like you have the penguin colors with your sweater being kind of white in the right areas and then black Maybe I'm friends with the penguins.

02:00:50.000 That's why we've been talking a lot about this.

02:00:52.000 This is what people don't understand.

02:00:52.000 It's not Masaad, it's the penguins the whole time.

02:00:54.000 Penguins. That's right.

02:00:55.000 They've been paying for this show.

02:00:56.000 You know it's illegal to communicate with dolphins in our country?

02:00:59.000 What? Did you know that?

02:01:00.000 Did you know that they were- Not to touch them!

02:01:02.000 to communicate with them.

02:01:05.000 Go look it up.

02:01:05.000 Did you know that there was a- Look it up!

02:01:07.000 Were you trying to talk to them?

02:01:08.000 Is that why they came after you?

02:01:10.000 I am telling you, it is illegal to communicate with dolphins in our country.

02:01:14.000 So that's why- Did you know that there was a woman that was living in a house that was semi-flooded with a dolphin and the dolphin was trying to get some from her?

02:01:20.000 It's a true story.

02:01:22.000 Why do you know that?

02:01:22.000 I've seen some videos of dolphins.

02:01:23.000 It's a very famous internet story.

02:01:26.000 I know a lot of internet stories that I don't know that I- I never heard of.

02:01:29.000 You gotta get on X, man.

02:01:31.000 You get on X-Men, you learn a whole bunch of stuff.

02:01:33.000 I don't know if that was a sales pitch.

02:01:35.000 It's like, remember that line from the Dark Knight where Scarecrow, the mobsters are like, your drugs are, look what they're doing to our people.

02:01:43.000 And he says, I told you my drug would take you places.

02:01:46.000 I never said they'd be places you wanted to go.

02:01:49.000 That's the internet, basically.

02:01:51.000 You go there and then you just, that's why there's the phrase, welcome to the internet.

02:01:55.000 Sounds more like a Rumble thing than an X-Men thing.
